If Only: An EWW AU.

Jemma AU with no Jessie (as anyone's sister. She's a character though) and Liana is Emma's mom. Based on Disney's Descendants. Expect very few changes from the movie (dialogue-wise). Set in mainly Jax and Emma's POV, but I might do the rest of the villain kids. This is an AU for a reason, so go with my changes okay?

MAIN CHARACTERS:

Emma Maleficent, Mal's counterpart. Bad girl, rebellious, with a dark secret.

Love interest: Jax Novoa, son of Jake Novoa (a.k.a The Beast) and Belle. Fun guy, not specifically 'good' or 'bad,' but is intrigued with Emma. Secret: has powers but rarely uses them because his parents would be hella pissed off. Counterpart is Ben. He is currently dating Maddie Van Pelt, daughter of Sleeping Beauty.

Mia Oscuro (means dark in Spanish. Last name change for aesthetic reasons.): Evie's counterpart, a combination of Mia and Evie's personality. Super smart and talented, but doesn't realize that she's related to Diego and like him, a Kanay. She has a crush of Diego Rueda, son of Cinderella and her prince.

Love interest: Daniel Miller, son of Sneezy. Smart guy with a crush on Mia. Is allergic to butterflies. Counterpart to guy I forgot his name.

Tony De Vil: son of Cruella De Vil. Afraid of dogs; is super smart, clever, and useful; love interest: Lulu, daughter of Pocahontas and John Smith, who volunteers at the vet. Carlos is his counterpart.

Phillip Ryan (he can't be a Van Pelt): son of Jafar. Jay's counterpart. Good at being swift and sneaky. Personality: Jay bc Phillip didn't really have one.

Love Interest: Andi Cruz, Phillip's teammate. Daughter of Ariel and Eric Cruz. Wears a necklace to keep her human. No counterpart. Personality: Andi Cruz.

DISCLAIMER: I never read the Isle of the Lost, but I know a bit qabout the dragon's eye (escape route; sleeping curse; that's pretty much all.) I DONT OWN EWW OR DESCENDANTS.

A/N: Idk if I should continue Life's Ups and Downs, but idk. EXPECT INFREQUENT UPDATES!

Prologue

Once upon a time, long, long ago—well more like twenty years ago—Belle married her Beast in front of six thousand of their closest, personal friends. Instead of the year a honeymoon, Beast united all of the kingdoms and got himself elected King of the United States of Auradon.

He rounded up all the villains, sidekicks, accomplices, and anybody living in the peninsula's north (before the kingdoms united) a.k.a. the dark/bad side, and he sent them to the Isle of the Lost with a magical barrier to keep them there. No one, not even the Chosen One—the most powerful witch in the world—could break the barrier since a special wand was used to cast it. Speaking of the Chosen One, where is she/he? She/he is prophesied to bring the balance between good and bad, but there isn't one in a hundred years.

The Isle of the Lost is a dirty, decrepit place that's been left to rot and forgotten by the world and is where some teens—known as the villain kids—roam free and wreck havoc among the other citizens of the island. Life on the island is dark and dreary, but the villain kids know how to find fun in this place.

Liana Maleficent, commonly referred by her last name since it describes her well or the Mistress of the Dark, is the self-proclaimed ruler of the isle. Maleficent has no tolerance for anything less than pure evil. She has little time for her subjects, who have still not mastered life without magic. Her only concern is getting off the Isle of the Lost.

They almost escaped using Maleficent's dragon eye scepter, but let's just say it didn't work out according to plan. You'll see in the flashbacks probably.

Anyways, the island had no magic, no wifi—basically what I'm saying is that they had no access to the outside world other than television and radio. Their phones were only limited to the island. The island's inhabitants had no way out. Until one fateful day, four teens had the chance to change all that

Emma 05.03.15 1:27am

I never knew how it felt to fall in love, and I don't think I ever will.

That's because I chase people away.

I'm a chaser.

An unwanted, dark and twisted, scary and damaged chaser.

Once, I thought I was in love, and I thought he reciprocated, but it was just an infatuation.

There is no such thing as true love.

I mean, love at first sight? You like his looks, his personality, but then you date him for awhile and become ashamed you ever liked him in the first place. Or, he shows his true self after he gets what he wants and dumps you.

I don't know if 'love' is even real.

I can't sleep. My mother hit me again. I am never good enough for her. I can feel my left cheekbone forming a bruise, and I'd have to go to Mia tomorrow morning to cover it up.

I don't want to see Drizella and Anastasia's daughters, Ava and Sophia Tramaine to make fun of me again. They're lucky they have protection from the Daggers, or else I'd tell Mom to send them to the hole, which is pretty much isolation with no food or water, unless some animal fell in or it rained. I seriously believe my mom doesn't truly loved me. And I never knew my dad. But I don't think she loved him too. Mom showed no sadness or grief when he died, and told me to shut up when I was tearing up. I don't think she has a heart.

My dad was murdered due to the Daggers, the gang opposite of ours, which is the Shadows. Maybe she showed no emotions to psych the murderer out or to enhance her unbreakable, I-have-no-weaknesses reputation. Maybe she didn't want her emotions to cloud her actions, I don't know. Maybe the simplest explanation is the correct one, like Occam's Razor.

But ever person has love in them, right? Then again, she has a big doctrine about it being a weakness. But maybe she's a hypocrite. So many 'maybes.'

I don't know if love is good for you. All it does it hurts you. Well, that's what an infatuation did to me. And those are nothing compared to 'love.'

What exactly is love?

Jax 05.03.15 1:27am

I should feel happy. I have the Maddie, my girlfriend, good friends such as Diego, Andi and Daniel, and I'm heir to the throne. But I kind of feel a void in my heart. I can't seem to sleep tonight, and I look straight out my window.

The Isle of the Lost.

The place where villains and residents of Auradon's former dark side live. I pity the children living there, the ones whose parents were villains. Just because their parents are bad doesn't mean their children are, right?

I don't know.

Hopefully, their parents don't define their destiny. I believe that their innocent. I think they should get a fair chance to live at Auradon with us. If they chose evil, I will have to strip them of their powers and send them back to their island.

Tomorrow I will tell my parents my first official proclamation. I want to allow the child of the lost a chance in the real world. Starting with the ones with the most… interesting parents. Emma, daughter of Liana Maleficent; Mia, daughter of the Evil Queen, Carolina Oscuro; Tony, son of Cruella De Vil; and Phillip, son of Jafar.

A/N: Okay, that's chapter one! (Actually it was the prologue.) Please read and review!

XOXO,

Liz
