Hello reader(s)! This is my first ever story, so sorry if it isn't very good. I know the whole idea of Ben having a little sibling isn't exactly original, but I figured it was a start. I hope you enjoy it. Please leave a review, and remember that constructive criticism is always welcome, I just ask that nobody sends any hate comments. Please keep in mind that I do not own Descendants, however Violet, and the other orphans mentioned are OCs. Quick shout out to TMNTfan1 for inspiring me to try writing fanfiction, and if you haven't checked out her stories, they're great! :)

King Ben looked up as he heard a soft knock on his office door, followed by his parents, Former King and Queen Beast and Belle. They all were thinking the same thing. This day would likely change the life of a twelve year old girl forever.

Ben smiled at his parents. "Have all the papers from the orphanage been filled out?" he asked.

Former Queen Belle nodded as a response. By 'papers', Ben had been referring to the adoption papers for a girl at the local orphanage named Violet. Ben had met Violet three years ago at a visit to the orphanage. Funny, it had been years but he remembered it like yesterday...

Thirteen year old Ben approached the doors of the local orphanage. He had rang the doorbell, and within seconds the door was pulled open by a friendly looking woman. She had red hair pulled into a low braid, and bright blue eyes.

"Hello," the woman smiled, and offered her hand to Ben. "My name is Jenny Foxworth, but, please, call me Ms. Jenny. I appreciate you coming to visit the orphans. Feel free to explore the place while I talk with your parents."

Ben shook her hand, saying, "It's good to meet you. And I was more than happy to come."

Ben walked through the small building and came across a door that said 'Library'. He cautiously opened the door and peeked inside. He saw a young girl, who couldn't have been much older than nine curled up on a couch and reading a book. Ben considered walking in to talk to her, but then decided not to disturb her reading. He walked down a hallway and saw several orphans gathered around a rabbit, which they were feeding and taking turns petting. He walked inside and talked with them for a good half hour. They didn't seem to notice they were talking to their future king, and Ben enjoyed that. He notices two of the rowdier boys whisper to each other and then sneak out of the room.

Ben had felt something was suspicious so after a couple minutes he looked for any sign of the two boys. He saw them enter the library, and not wanting to be caught following them, Ben simply cracked the door open and watched.

"Well, if it isn't the little bookworm?" one of the boys said walking near the young girl.

She glared at them. "What do you two want this time?"

The boys exchanged a glance before one snatched the book out of her hands.

"Hey!" she protested reaching for the book, only for them to pull it out of her reach. They were much taller than her so she didn't have a chance at getting it back. She stood up and reached for it again, but they raised it above her head. "Give it back!"

"Give this back?" one of them said, smirking at her. "If you insist." Then, much to her horror, the boys started ripping out the pages of the book. The torn pages slowly floated down to the floor.

"What is wrong with you two?" she shouted. "You both are just stupid jerks!"

The boys suddenly looked angry. "Who are you calling stupid?" the one holding the torn apart book in his hand demanded. The other tried to punch her in the jaw, but luckily she grabbed his arm, and twisted it around his back, causing him to yelp in pain, before kicking him to the ground and running out the back door, which led to the outside.

Ben clenched his fists and stormed into the room. He snatched the book from them and demanded, "Why would you do that? She is a lot smaller than you, and that was totally uncalled for!" The boys muttered a sarcastic apology before they ran out the door towards the other orphans. When they were gone, Ben walked outside through the door that the girl had rushed out of, and looked around for her. He heard a soft crying and looked up. She had climbed up a tall oak tree and had sat on a larger branch.

Though it was against his better judgement, Ben climbed up, almost falling once or twice, until he reached her. "Are you alright?" he asked.

She shook her head.

"I saw what happened," Ben admitted. "I am so sorry. You don't deserve to be treated that way."

She was quiet for a couple long minutes. "I don't know what to do. I can't stand up to them. I'm scared."

"But I saw how you defended yourself when that one boy tried to punch you. You aren't some helpless kid. And, I think it's safe to assume that you're smarter than them," Ben tried to encourage her.

"I wish I hadn't done that. Nothing is solved with violence. If anything, they'll just come after me more than they did before." she frowned.

"Listen, I'll talk to Ms. Jenny, and I'm sure she'll help you."

She smiled a tiny bit. "Thank you."

"I just want to help you. What is your name, anyways?" he asked.

She hesitated a minute. "Violet," she finally said.

"I'm Ben," he said. "If you need anything, just let me know."

Ben came back the next day, and the day after that. After the third day, Ben invited her over to the castle. She hadn't been sure at first, but eventually agreed. He showed Violet the giant library, and allowed her to borrow a couple of the books. Queen Belle enjoyed talking with Violet, amd King Beast soon discovered how good she was at sports, and he loved some playful competition. She and Ben got along perfectly, and Violet was like a little sister to him. They read books together, and soon Violet was visiting three times a week. Ben visited the orphanage sometimes, as he got busier, he didn't have as much time to get away from his work. But, he always made time for her. In fact, she was the first person Ben had told about his proclamation to give the kids of the Isle a chance to live in Auradon. She had wanted to meet the villain's children, but she had gotten an opportunity to take advanced classes for the next six months.

She had heard about everything happening, and after those long six months she returned. Ben had been so excited to see her and introduce her to Mal. Violet had made it very clear how happy she was that he was with somebody better than Audrey. It only took one day for them to catch up, and Violet saw Mal as a sister, just as she saw Ben as a brother. And now, a month after Ben's little 'visit' to the Isle, they would actually be siblings.

Ben snapped out of his thoughts as he saw the limo pull up, and Violet step out. After a few minutes, she walked in.

"Ben!" she grinned. Ben glanced over to his parents, who nodded and smiled.

"Hey Vi," he said, using her nickname. "We have a big surprise for you."

That got her excited. Ben always knew how to make people happy. "What is it?" she asked.

Ben stood up and walked towards her. He slowly said, "We want to adopt you. You could be my little sister. Have a family. So, what do you say?"

Violet looked at Ben, then at Former King Beast and Queen Belle, then back at Ben again. She smiled widely and hugged Ben. Ben noticed that the twelve year old had started to tear up. Belle and Beast joined the hug, and they didn't want to let go.

But little did they know, this was only the beginning of a long road ahead, filled with several very hard choices. Something- or should I say someone- sinister was coming.

And that is the end of Chapter 1. Sorry it was so short, but I will be making the next chapters longer. This chapter was mostly for introducing the plot, so that is why there isn't much action. Please write a review so I know what everybody likes and what to improve on. By the way, Jenny Foxworth is NOT my character, she is from the Disney movie, Oliver & Company. Thank you so much for reading.
