The Kindness Within
Chapter 1: My little Rebel Princess
Once upon a time in a country named Auradon, in the district of Ulstead, far far away from here, there was a beautiful Princess.
This Princess was named Auraline, born to King Philip and Queen Aurora.
Auraline was certainly a very beautiful girl, with a slight tan on her skin, chocolate brown hair and her deep brown eyes.
Yes, Princess Auraline possessed a beauty that rivalled that of her mother.
Her mother was proud, and very certain Auraline would become the most beautiful Queen of Ulstead Auradon had ever seen.
The whole subkingdom of Ulstead loved Auraline.
Everyone but one person: her sister Audrey.
Audrey was jealous. Just because Auraline was a bit prettier than she was.
Auraline had everything: a good future, good-looking Princes fighting for her hand and all the support she would need to rule.
But Auraline wasn't truly happy.
Every time she'd look out of her bedroom window, she saw the Isle of the Lost, and felt guilty about the children who had to live there, just because their parent was evil.
Auraline wanted a change, but she felt like she was the only one.
Thoughts
New POV
Aurora's POV:
Before the Coronation
I was watching my eldest daughter being dressed in the royal blue attire she choose to wear for her Coronation.
She is only 14, but already so responsible for all her actions.
I can't be anything else but proud to her.
The dress she was wearing was absolutely perfect on her.
I can't wait to see Philip's face when he sees her walking down the aisle in this dress, as well as all the Princes. I wonder which one is in love with Aura, I'm sure at least one of them is! What kind of boy cannot fall for my beautiful daughter? Aura is even more beautiful than I am! And people say I am one of the fairest in the land.
The maids left, and I was alone with my daughter for a brief moment.
I smiled. "Everyone will be stunned."
Aura chuckled for a second or two. "Really mom?"
"Yes!" I said.
"Sure dad's gonna be, but the others?" Aura asked.
"All Princes will openly start to fight for you." I replied with a nod. "After today, they won't get the image of you in this dress out of their heads."
"We'll see." Aura said with a sigh.
That was a bit suspicious. "Or is there already a boy..."
"No!" Aura said, her face going a bit white.
Another suspicious thing. There has to be a boy in my Aura's life..,
I shall have to look at all the guys attending my daughter's coronation, searching for that confident smile when he sees her.
"Alright." I said, not showing that I was a bit suspicious. "Now, let's go for it!" Then I walked away, leaving my daughter alone for a small moment.
Auraline's POV:
The Coronation
Phew! That was close.
I sighed when mom closed the door behind her.
If mom only knew we were together...
But she cannot know, not yet anyway. Not until his coronation, which is like about two years away from now.
I grabbed a piece of cloth from my dress as I walked towards the door.
I went to the entrance of the big throne room, waiting for the trumpets.
The trumpets made their sound, signalling my arrival.
The grand doors opened up, revealing all royals and important people from all over the United States of Auradon.
Still holding a piece of cloth, I slowly walked over the light blue carpet that had been rolled out over the stone grey floor.
I held my head up high.
People bowed for me and flags were raised as I passed.
Then, when I nearly reached the throne platform, I spotted my secret boyfriend.
He flickered dreamily with his eyes, a kind smile upon his face as always.
I was nearly blushing, nearly.
Benjamin Florian, that guy can do anything and I'll still want to be with him for the rest of my life. He's kind, personal, sweet, courageous, idealistic, open-minded, and very amiable. Ben is just perfect.
Oh yeah... he's the Crown Prince of the United States of Auradon.
He's the future King of the whole U.S., I'm just the regent-Queen of a subkingdom.
I reached the platform and kneeled on one knee.
Fairy Godmother took the silver crown from my mother's head and placed it upon mine.
Then she revealed her wand, dad removed the glass protection case and mom handed the wand to Fairy Godmother with both hands.
Fairy Godmother took it with her right hand and walked over to me. "Will you, Auraline Isabelle Rose, do anything in your power to rule well over your Kingdom?"
"I will." I said with a powerful voice.
"It's an honour to bless you with my magic. May your rule bring the country welfare and goodness to all of it's people." Fairy Godmother said.
Sparks from her wand fell over me.
As I rose up, everyone bowed again.
This was the start of a new period.
Not just the change of a ruler.
No, whole Auradon will change, and I will start bringing that change.
Aurora's POV:
The Coronation
The trumpets made their sound, signalling my daughter's arrival.
The grand doors opened up, revealing my beautiful little girl..
Still holding a piece of cloth, Aura slowly walked over the light blue carpet that had been rolled out over the stone grey floor. With her head held high.
People bowed for her, and flags were raised when she passed.
The same song as always
Then, when Aura nearly reached the throne platform, she hesitated a little bit.
I knew there had to be a boy distracting her, so I looked at the boys closest to us.
There was Prince Chad, and Prince Benjamin.
I smiled. Both are such good candidates for my beautiful daughter. I have to tell Philip after this.
Aura reached the platform and kneeled on one knee.
Fairy Godmother took the silver crown from my head and placed it upon my daughter's.
Then she revealed her wand, Philip removed the glass protection case and I handed the wand to Fairy Godmother with both hands.
Fairy Godmother took it with her right hand and walked over to my daughter. "Will you, Auraline Isabelle Rose, do anything in your power to rule well over your Kingdom?"
"I will." Aura said with a powerful voice.
"It's an honour to bless you with my magic. May your rule bring the country welfare and goodness to all of it's people." Fairy Godmother said.
Sparks from her wand fell over Aura.
As Aura rose up, everyone bowed again.
This was the start of a new period.
Ben's POV:
The Coronation
The trumpets made their sound and everyone turned their heads to the entrance doors that slowly opened up.
The doors revealed Aura, my beautiful secret girlfriend, in a stunning blue dress.
I see many guys drool over her, and my inner beast wants to teach them a lesson, but I've got to keep it in.
No one knows Aura and I are secretly dating, not even my parents!
If they'd only knew, they would marry us immediately after Aura's coronation.
We're only 14, nearly 15, I don't want to be married yet. And I don't think Aura wants it either...
Aura walked over the blue carpet, people bowing as she passed.
I can't take my eyes off of her, she's just too beautiful.
Aura looked at me, and I blink with my eyes, trying to flirt a little bit.
I can she she was nearly blushing and I chuckled within. Even though we've been together for years, the spark in our relationship hasn't disappeared yet.
I love Aura, I can't live without her. She's my only sunshine after the storm, my light in the darkness.
Aura kneels on the ground, and the crown is placed on her head.
Fairy Godmother revealed her wand, King Philip removed the glass protection case and Queen Aurora handed the wand to Fairy Godmother.
F.G. took her wand and stepped to Aura. "Will you, Auraline Isabelle Rose, do anything in your power to rule well over your Kingdom?"
"I will." Aura said with a powerful voice.
I smiled. That's my Aura.
"It's an honour to bless you with my magic. May your rule bring the country welfare and goodness to all of it's people." Fairy Godmother said and sparks left her wand, falling over Aura.
Aura rose up and everyone bowed for her.
A new period has started. Not just for Ulstead with the change of a ruler.
All of Auradon will change, I can feel it.
Auraline's POV:
After the Coronation
Many people are dancing in the ballroom.
I'm now standing with my parents on the platform.
Then I see Ben coming.
He bowed for me and offered his hand. "Your highness, may I have this dance with you?"
"Of course." I replied, laying my hand in his.
Ben leads me over to the dance floor and we started dancing.
"I guess you didn't just ask me to dance?" I asked.
"I'm curious to know what you'll do now. With your Royal proclamation?" Ben said.
"Oh, that." I knew it again.
All royals may make a proclamation, to see how it turns out before they get the full rule over their Kingdom.
"Do you know what you will say?" Ben asked.
"I do." I replied.
"Which is?" Ben asked.
"I'm not telling you that here." I said. "There are to many people around."
Ben smirked and we depart to the hallway where no one is. "Here?"
"Way better." I said.
"So, what is your proclamation?" Ben asked.
I sighed. "I'll be going undercover, on the Isle of the Lost."
"There's no changing your mind, right?" Ben asked.
"You're not shocked?" I asked, raising my left eyebrow.
"I'm trying to find things out about the circumstances on the Isle, but I can't find any. That's just why I think this is the best idea ever." Ben replied.
"That's good news."
Time skip
I'm standing on the platform again.
Everyone is looking at me, waiting for me to speak.
I let out a deep sigh. "Dear civilians of Auradon, I have decided on my Royal proclamation."
The people cheered, and my parents were looking at me with pride.
"This proclamation concerns the Isle of the Lost." and I stood up with my head held high, I didn't really want to see my parents' faces. "I've decided I will depart for the Isle of the Lost tomorrow morning, to see the circumstances of life there."
Everyone looked shocked, except for Ben, who was looking at me with pride.
"We all know evil isn't born, it's made. And I want to find the reasons why and how someone turns evil." I said, my voice as powerful as it had been during the coronation. "I won't stay long, just a year or two. I will stay in contact with someone of my own choice, and only he or she will know."
I picked up my skirt and walked off the stairs towards the door.
I will go to the Isle, and no one is going to stop me from doing so.
Not even my parents or the King.
Time skip
I woke up early that morning and I remembered what I was about to do.
I got up and walked over to my walk-in closet, opening the door.
I couldn't pick something that screamed 'Princess', maybe something that's right the opposite.
Yes! I found it!
I still had an old leather dress.
But wouldn't that be cold? I need pants!
I searched through my closet to find a pair of pants that would match. Then I found a pair of black ones.
"Don't care if those end up ripped." I mumbled, throwing the dress and the pants on the bed.
I searched further, for something to cover my arms.
There was a knock on my door.
"Not yet!" I called out. "I'm not ready yet!"
"Aura, it's just me, your mother."
I sighed. "Come in."
My mother opened the door of my bedroom, her face stood concerned.
I looked at her, and I knew what she wanted to say. "Mom, don't worry. I'll be fine. I can save myself."
"Just secure that Maleficent doesn't find out who you are." my mother said.
I grabbed a black leather jacket from a clothes hanger. "Mom, everyone on the Isle of the Lost has done a crime. It doesn't matter who you are, probably just how vicious you are. And I'm just taking a look, it's not that I'll move there forever."
"With who will you stay in contact?" mom asked.
"I'll tell when I'm back. Otherwise you and dad are going to bomb that person with questions, I know you two." I replied as I threw the jacket on my bed, going back into my closet to search for shoes.
"You're really going to wear that?" my mother asked.
"Hey, I cannot look like a Princess or a Queen, so yeah. I have to look like a bad girl to fit in." I replied.
"Just don't get caught up in your role that much." my mother told.
"Mom! Stop it!" I called. "I can care for myself, and I always will know who I am."
Mom sighed and walked out of my room.
"Finally, just alone." I mumbled.
As I searched through my shoes, I found a pair of dark blue ones with high heels that would fit perfectly with the whole outfit.
I grabbed them and walked out of the closet to get dressed.
The leather first felt a little uncomfortable, and the shoes felt way to high.
I took a deep breath and walked through my room to get used to the height of the shoes.
Once I was used to them, I grabbed my black bag and threw a few old blankets in, as well as a pair of old dark blue leather gloves.
Those are perfect.
I grabbed my favourite perfume,a set of 5 black-blue eyeliners, a dark shade of blue eye-shadow, my best mascaras and 3 different nail polishes: black, dark blue and dark purple, as well as a few of my own removers.
That must be enough for at least 2 years.
I walked out of my room, throwing my bag over my shoulders, just to see my little twin sister: Audrey.
She isn't the best sister, but she's still my sibling.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Well, now you are leaving Auradon to live among those vicious and disgusting villains..."
I already knew what she was going to say. "Audrey, I'm not leaving forever, just a year or two."
Audrey's face went sad first, then angry. "You never think about someone else, do you?"
"I am not selfish Audrey, but you should know being Queen is more than a crown and a pretty dress. Being a good ruler is all about what you want to offer your people, and my time on the Isle might change me into a better person, a better ruler. Right now, I'm not certain that I'm ready for the throne." I replied. "This is for the better Audrey, but of course you don't see it in."
I passed my sister and went down the stairs.
I grabbed a pair of sandwiches from the scale and an apple.
"Bye mom, bye dad." I said. "I'm sorry that I have to go, but my contact is waiting for me outside the gates." And I departed.
I quickly ate my sandwiches while I walked towards the gates of the palace.
There was a black limousine waiting for me.
I opened the door, just to see my secret boyfriend sitting there.
"Really Ben?" I asked after I closed the door.
The limo departed.
"I had to see you one last time." Ben said and took my left hand.
"No one knows you're my contact. At least, not yet." I said, rolling my eyes.
Ben smiled. "I've got something for you."
"For me?" I asked, pretty surprised.
Ben gave me a blue box. "Open up."
With a riddled face, I removed the lid.
What I saw in the box stunned me completely.
It was a silver chain necklace, with a mirror pendant, and a golden ring.
"But Ben... this is your signet ring!" I exclaimed as I saw the crown symbol on the ring.
"I want you to have it." Ben said. "To remind you that I'll always be yours and to protect you. And the mirror is spelled by Fairy Godmother, it permits you using your magic. It won't work if someone else wears it, it only works on you."
"Thank you." I said, a big smile on my face and I hugged Ben.
"You're welcome." Ben said and pushed me a little bit away, just to look into my eyes.
It was always nice to look in Ben's bright blue eyes, they always reminded me of who I was.
"I love you Aura, and that won't change." Ben said as he touched my hair.
I saw in Ben's eyes that my hair started to sparkle. The magic was revealing.
"I won't cheat on you in the years you'll be gone, and I know you won't either. Return safely, and don't forget me." Ben said, pushing my chin a little bit up with his right hand. Then he kissed me.
We've kissed before, but with this kiss, I felt more passion than before.
This kiss was special.
We parted as the limo drove over the magical bridge towards the Isle.
Ben handed me a cellphone. "This phone doesn't need wifi to reach mine."
"Let me guess, Fairy Godmother spelled it for you?" I asked.
"Yes." Ben replied.
The limo stopped.
I looked outside, seeing dark buildings.
Some were stone, others were just like those in slums.
"Oh my god!" Ben said, shocked of what he saw through the windows.
"Well, that'll be your job!" I said. "Make the living circumstances better. This is completely inhuman." I reached out for the door handle.
"Good luck." Ben said.
I turned back to him. "Thank you. And you good luck as well."
I opened the door and stepped out, slamming the door in its lock behind me.
Then the limo just disappeared, faster than someone could blink with his eyes.
I let out a sigh. "Well, no turning back now."
I walked over the streets.
I saw so many former villains and their sidekicks, so humiliated, so broken. Even villains don't deserve this, no matter what their evil crime was.
If you'd see this King Adam, I'd bet you'd be 'so proud' of what you did.
I was to busy mocking King Adam that I didn't watch out where I was walking and bumped into someone.
"Sorry, I didn't see you." I apologize as I look at the person I bumped into.
I bumped into a girl with a dark blue jacket, black pants, black skirt and black shoes just like mine.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Aura. And you are?" I asked.
"Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen." she replied and looked at my clothing. "I love those shoes!"
"Thanks, I guess." I said. "Uhm, I actually just arrived. Can you help me to find my way around here? Before I come in places where I shouldn't be."
"You're from Auradon? I actually wouldn't have guessed that." Evie said.
"Why not?" I asked. I thought it was quite obvious that I wasn't from here.
"You don't look like you're from Auradon. And it seems you've got the bad spirit." Evie replied as she walked into a random direction.
I followed her. "Bad spirit? I'm just open-minded... and maybe a little bit idealistic."
"But what did you do? For being send here?" Evie asked.
Well, here comes the lie. "Some people thought I spelled my boyfriend."
And the same people of who I'm talking about would certainly think I did spell Ben if they'd only knew I was his girlfriend.
"Did you?" Evie asked.
"Nope." I replied. "I'd never spell someone unless it is really necessary."
"I'll tell you, if you're not bad enough, you won't survive long here." Evie told.
"Then tell me, how do I act on these streets, how must I think while I'm here?" I asked. "Teach me."
"Sure I will." Evie replied.
Evie lead me to her house, which was on some sort of round plaza where loads of cloth shops and beauty shops were.
"You live there?" I asked.
"Yup." Evie said and opened up the door. "Follow me."
I walked into the house, which was very dark on the inside.
We walked into the living room together, where the Evil Queen sat.
"Evie, my beautiful princess, who is this?" the Evil Queen asked.
The Evil Queen doesn't seem as evil as she is described in 'Snow White'. She is rather... motherly.
"Mom, meet Aura. She's new here on the Isle, people thought she spelled someone." Evie replied.
"You are certainly a beautiful girl. Tell me, have you ever met the Princes?" the Evil Queen asked with interest.
"Yeah, I've met like all of them." I replied. "From the most handsome one, to the most ugly one."
"I'm sure they fell for you, didn't they?" the Evil Queen asked.
"They did." I replied.
"Will you help my daughter to become just as beautiful as you are?" the Evil Queen asked.
"I cannot guarentee, I can only do where I'm capable of."
The Evil Queen smiled. "Perfect. She has to be beautiful enough to attract a Prince if she can go to Auradon one day."
"I'll secure you, Evie is in good hands." I said with a smile.
Evie looked at me with glamming eyes.
Hey! I'm not my selfish sister. I love to help other people.
And this, is the beginning of my new life.
I won't forget my life in Auradon or my friends there.
But to blend in, I have to know how to behave and how to think.
