REVIEW TIMEE!1
I only own Ophelia Skellington, Miya Tomago, Gwendolyn 'Gwen', Harry Haddock, Marcus, Samara, and Orion Skellington
"Ophelia, honey," I hear. I turn, and I saw one of the helpers that help around King Adam and Queen Belle's castle, Mrs. Potts. From the way she is standing, she can't help herself feeling intimidated. "Ben is awaiting you in his bedroom," she says, causing me to stand up from my position within their kitchen and to walk up to his room.
Yeah, I, too, do not understand why the future king of Auradon is best friends with me, the strangest girl in Auradon, and appointed me as his Royal Advisor.
I know why you all are asking why I would call myself that, well, long story short, I am the daughter of the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington, and his love, Sally.
In fact, I wasn't even born in Auradon. From what I can remember, my older brother, Orion, and I used to be well-known natives within the town of Halloween, so it is kind of ironic that both my brother and I are born on October 31, which is the day of the known holiday. I was a little over the age of one when this happened.
Get this, my parents came to Adam and Belle and pleaded with them to let us live "good lives" in Auradon, to which they accepted. And that is how Orion and I are where we are.
"Ophelia!" I heard the voice of my best friend exclaim, snapping out of my thoughts and back into harsh reality. "Hey, Ben," I say, wistfully. "I'm so glad you're here. You are the first one to hear about my proclamation," he says as I sat down on his bed while he is standing on the podium, ready for his measurement. "If you got a proclamation this early, then it must be good. Let's hear it." I said, giving him my full support. "I've decided to give the children from the Isle of the Lost a chance to be in Auradon," he says.
The Isle of the Lost is a whole other story.
Some of the dastardly villains within Auradon's history were either banished or resurrected to be placed on some island with a magic barrier around it, sealing them in with no possible way out. For some reason, I should be relieved that Oogie Boogie isn't on the Isle, considering that he was just a sack of bugs the entire time my dad wanted to experience the town of Christmas.
In a way, I do feel bad for the children of those villains because they are paying the price of their parents' crimes.
"In a way, that does make logical sense as to why you would bring them here. Who do you have in mind?" I ask. "Cruella De Vil, Scar, Evil Queen, Jafar, and Maleficent," he told me, quietly. "You know Audrey is going to have a fit when she finds out that the kid of Maleficent is going to be at Auradon, I, however, can get through that," I say. "Wait, so you're fine with that?" he asks.
I give Ben a pointed look. "Remember how my father got bored with the same tricks in Halloween Town and decided to take a crack at being Sandy Claws? This is me now." I told him as Lumiere now came into his bedroom to take measurements. Throughout the whole time, Ben is looking outside of the window, and I can tell that he is staring at the distant island. "It'll be fine." I mouthed to him.
"How is it possible that you're gonna be crowned king next month? You're just a baby." King Adam says as him and his queen walks into Ben's bedroom. "He's turning 16, dear." Queen Belle states. "Hey, pops," Ben says, awkwardly.
"16?! That's far too young to be crowned King. I didn't make a good decision until I was at least 42." the King says. "Uh, you decided to marry me at 28," Belle says. "It was either you or the teapot Adam says, winking over at Ben and me, causing us to giggle and causing Belle to give Adam a pointed look. "Kidding," he mutters to his wife. Belle then turns her attention to me.
"I still remember when you were only a little over a year old when we made a deal with your parents, Ophelia. You've become such a young lady." Belle says. I just smiled, shyly, as I twiddled with my fingers. "Mom, Dad," Ben started, but then realized that Lumiere is still doing measurements for Ben, and he still remained on the podium.
"I've chosen my first proclamation." he starts, causing the King and Queen to be thoroughly impressed. I gave Ben a look to continue on. "I've decided that the children on the Isle of the Lost be given a chance...to live here in Auradon," Ben says. Adam's proud look falters as Belle lets out a squeak as she drops the jacket that was in her hands.
"Every time I look out to the island, I feel like they've been abandoned," Ben says as he gets off of the podium to walk towards his parents. "The children of our sworn enemies? Living among us?" Adam asks in disbelief. "We'd only start out with a few, the ones that need our help the most. I've already chosen them," Ben says.
"Have you?" Adam says, stepping closer to his son, and Belle grabs ahold of his wrist. "I've given you a second chance. And Jack and Sally wanted us to give Orion and Ophelia a chance at a better life, and look where they are now." Belle states to her husband before turning to her son. "Who are their parents?" Belle asks.
"Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Evil Queen, Scar, and Maleficent," Ben says, saying the last name very hesitantly. Maleficent's name envokes so much fear that it causes Lumiere to gasp out in shock and Adam to be enraged.
"Maleficent?! She's the worst villain in the land!" Adam yells out. "King Adam, just hear him out…" I was saying before he cuts me off. "I won't hear of it," he told me before turning his attention back to Ben. "Their parents are guilty of unspeakable crimes!" Adam exclaims. "Dad, their children are innocent! Don't you think they got a shot at a normal life?" Ben asks as all of the servants are leaving Ben's room.
"Dad…" Ben pleads with him, as Adam is glancing over at me, who is in an uncomfortable state, and Belle, who is giving him a pointed look. "I suppose the children are innocent." the king says as he steps away. "Well done. Both of you," Belle says to Ben and I as she is also walking off with her husband, with her arm through his and they walk out of Ben's room.
I stood up from Ben's bed and walk towards him. We both looked out to the foggy island. "It's only five children from the Isle. How bad could it be?" I ask as he is fidgeting with his ring.
If only we knew what events would happen.
