Guess what, I'm not dead! *cackles* I'm sorry about this. I know, I know. I need to work on FINISHING stories before STARTING new ones. But I've been debating this in my head for a while now and I need an opinion. If you want some news or updates on my current stories, here goes:

Life With The Turtles: I'm halfway done with that. I'll type up that one tomorrow and most likely publish it on Saturday or Sunday. It's a bit shorter than the other chapters but it's still great.

Drabbles Of TMNT: I'm...kinda halfway done with Clara's prompt. But you'll just have to wait for that for a little while. Sorry.

Spidey and the Avengers: I'm still typing that. But I should be publishing the new chapter in the beginning of August, maybe a little early.

And for this one: Expect the first official chapter somewhere next week. It'll be kinda short, snippets from the book, leading up to the plot.

Now for Explanation time, this is my own twist of the movie, a few snippets from the book. Like Mal's plot to get revenge on Evie. In this fic, Uma, Harry, and Gil will also be attending Auradon Prep. And Mal and Uma are still friends. Well, kinda. It's complicated. And there will be mentions and flashbacks of child abuse. But only one character has been physically abused. Who I will reveal in the story, but for now, mouth sealed and locked.

And in this fic, the villain kids will stay with their parent's enemies. Like, Mal with Sleeping Beauty, Uma with Ariel, etc. And there will be pairings. But this is movie canon. So the pairings are related to the movies. Like Mal/Ben, Evie/Doug, y'all get the gist. But I'm not gonna be focusing on those yet. A few characters will be a little different than they were in the movie and books, but I won't tell you who.

Now, if you have any suggestions or requests, please comment on it in the review section or PM me. However you like. Don't be shy. That applies if anybody has any questions or concerns.

And if anybody - ANYBODY - has any useful information on the new book, Rise of the Isle of the Lost, please tell me all the important details. PM me or review. It will benefit me for this story. Especially with the three new VK's I'm including.

I think that's all. I'll publish in a few days. Now...

...what do ya think?...

Ben - Prince Ben - soon-to-be King of Auradon, looked out to the window right to him, staring distractedly at the large, gloomy lump, lightning crackling over it. His arms were spread out wide for Lumiere, who was taking his measurements for his suit - for his upcoming coronation. Some guys - like Chad - would be excited. Excited ruling over a kingdom. Making all the decisions. Well...kinda making the decisions. Ben should feel excited. He should jumping up and down on his toes, squealing, pumping his fist into the air.

But...he wasn't.

Ben - son of Queen Belle and King Beast - was far from being excited. He was dreading being King. He was only sixteen. He wouldn't be able to handle it. Not one bit. But his father and mother assured him all would turn out right. That he would be fine. But their assurance only eased his anxieties just a tad.

And as he looked back on that gloomy lump...he felt something shift.

That was the Isle of the Lost. The island for the worst of the worst villains. Villains responsible for unspeakable crimes. That caused so many heartache and fear amongst the good heroes of Auradon. A barrier was built around it by Fairy Godmother. It was a magical gate to keep the villains from escaping. Especially the magical beings. It was for the heroes own good. And it was punishment for their hateful crimes. It's where they have to live. Where they and their children resided.

The children.

He couldn't help but pity for them just a bit. The children of the villains were innocent. It was their parents who committed those horrible crimes. They weren't even born yet. It wasn't fair for them. They deserved better.

And lucky for them...he had decided on his first proclamation as King.
