Here's my attempt at a multichapter romance story. Also for this story Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos were not friends prior to arriving in Auradon.

Chapter 1: The Isle

This was the third time Mal attempted to take the shore of the Isle for herself. It was also the third time she failed her mission. She knew that whoever controlled the shore, controlled the food. The only food to ever come to the Isle was leftovers from Auradon and the only way for it to get to the Isle was by boat. Her mother, Maleficent, had given her the task of taking the territory from Captain Hook and his son, Harry. Unfortunately for Mal, failure was something that infuriated her mother and she had already failed twice. Failure was usually followed with Maleficent yelling about how Mal was a disappointment and, if she was angry enough, violence.

After narrowly escaping Harry and his new ally Uma, Ursula's daughter, Mal sat in a secluded alley hoping that no one would find her. Her most recent plan failed because of her shock of seeing her old friend. Uma and Mal had been close friends at one point, she was Mal's only friend. As soon as Maleficent found out she lectured her daughter about how any form of love was a weakness. After spending two weeks stuck in her room, Mal decided to end her friendship. Uma ex-friend did not take the news well, she did not understand what it was like to be Maleficent's child. Mal was expected to be just as evil as her mother, Maleficent often brought up the fact that when she was Mal's age she was conquering entire kingdoms.

Mal stopped thinking about Uma, she needed to check her injuries. Harry had somehow managed to stick his hook into her shoulder then his sword into her gut. Slowly lifting her hand from her wound she saw it was covered in red. Mal needed a doctor, badly, but she was on the Isle of the Lost. There were no doctors in this prison those "heroes" made. Taking a shaky breath, Mal knew she needed to accept the fact that she was not making it out of this.

Mal thought about all the people in Auradon, they knew that many villains on then Isle had children. Why did they not try to do something? Would they feel guilty when they heard about her death? They would not, she was a villain and no one mourned the wicked. Mal was the most wicked of them all, as the daughter of the worst villain. Now, Mal was all alone, bleeding out in a dirty alley. Everyone knew that the wickeds' lives were lonely and when they died, it was alone. This was a fitting ending for Maleficent's daughter.

Leaning her head against the brick wall she used to prop her body up Mal closed her eyes. "What happened?" a genuinely concerned voice asked.

"If you're going to steal from me, at least wait until I'm dead." Mal said not even looking at the new person.

"You're Maleficent's daughter, right?" when the voice asked Mal opened her eyes. The girl was about her age, had blue hair, and despite being on the Isle managed to be even more beautiful than those Auradon princesses. "You don't remember me do you?" She asked.

"Sorry, I'm bleeding quite a bit here." Mal answered sarcastically. The girl rolled her eyes and moved closer to Mal. Instinctively Mal tried to back away from the strange girl. "Look I'm already dying. Whatever grudge you have against me won't matter soon enough. There's no need to make it worse."

The girl looked at Mal confused, "I'm not going to hurt you, Mal. My name is Evie and I'm here to help." Evie helped Mal remove her jacket to expose the wounds in her shoulder and gut. "You're going to need stiches. Lucky for you my mom made me learn to sew." Mal could not be more confused, she remembered Evie, the daughter of the Evil Queen. Maleficent had banished them to the far side of the Isle when Mal wasn't invited to Evie's sixth birthday party. Mal's mother had a real problem with not being invited to parties. Now this girl that should hate her was saving her life. "It wasn't your fault."

"What?" Mal asked surprised by Evie's sudden comment.

"The thing when we were six." Evie answered, "I know it wasn't your fault. I don't hold a grudge against you." Mal sat silently as Evie got out her sewing materials. "This is probably going to hut a bit. Also you never did tell me what happened."

"I was trying to take the pirates' territory…again." Mal did not know why she answered Evie, but she felt weirdly safe around her. Evie gave her a curious look when she heard Mal say "again". "This was my third attempt." Mal elaborated.

They sat in silence as Evie finished up stitching Mal's wounds. "That's all I can do, unfortunately, hopefully it won't get too infected."

Evie turned to leave, but Mal stopped her. "Hey, Evie." She said, "Thanks for the help."

"No problem." Evie said with a smile, "Good luck with your mom." Mal's stomach dropped with the reminder of her mother. As soon as Evie was gone, she slowly got up and made her way back to her home.

After a, luckily, uneventful walk home Mal was greeted by her mother yelling for her. "I'm here mother." Mal answered her.

"There you are. Where were you I've been looking for you?" Maleficent asked. "Never mind, it doesn't matter. You're going to Auradon and you're going to bring me Fairy Godmother's wand. The children of Jafar, Cruella De Vil, and Evil Queen will be going with you. You are leaving soon so go get ready." Mal, shocked moved to go to her room. This had happened all so fast, but maybe this will be good. "And Mal," Maleficent called after her, "don't disappoint me this time."
