By the time everyone had settled things, the King had rented out a house on the school that had four large bedrooms so that someone could stay with the kids because even if it was a spell gone wrong they till had to keep the kids on the school grounds.
In the end Roger had to take Patch home because of how frightened Carlos was. In the end all four of the kids had gotten tired from the first day so they had fallen asleep in a pile together. Jay was using Carlos mostly a pillow and Evie and Mal where using some of the coat as a blanket.
Belle was watching them as they house was being prepared and she noticed that they were dirty and made a note for the others to bath them later. As she watched them she noticed how they seemed perfectly happy on the floor.
The floor wasn't carpeted so this concerned her.
Standing up Belle walked down to move each of the kids to the bed. Picking up Evie first since she was mostly likely not to hit or kick her, Belle set her on the bed. Next she picked up Mal who frowned in her sleep but other than that continued to sleep.
Next she went to get the boys but as she tried to pull Carlos away the little boy woke up and looked at her like he was afraid of her. Petting his head she shushed him before trying to pull him out of Jay's grasp but the tan boy wouldn't let go.
Carefully unlatching Jay's fingers she picked up the trembling child. "It's alright. Shh, it's alright."
Setting him on the bed she turned to Jay and picked him up praying that he didn't attack her and luckily she put him in bed with no problem. Sighing in relief she turned to Carlos who was attempting to hide under a pillow and was looking at her with big eyes.
"Come here, sweetie," Belle picked him up. "You could use a bath."
Jay sat up suddenly his eyes still closed feeling really weird. Opening them a little he looked around before sliding off the bed and laid down on the carpet making himself comfortable before curling up and falling back to sleep.
The sleep lasted maybe five minute before he say up realizing that he had fallen asleep on the floor using a very comfortable person as a pillow so why was he getting off a bed and getting back onto the floor?! Looking around Jay stood up seeing both Mal and Evie, but where was Carlos?
With wanting to find the youngest missing member of their little group Jay left the room in search of the other boy.
Ben was coming back to check on the others when he heard soft sobs from the bathroom. Walking over he saw it was opened a few inches. Peeking in he saw his mother sitting on the edge of the tub tht was filled with water and bubbles.
"Mom?"
"Oh, Ben." She wiped her eyes. "Would you watch, Carlos for me? I need to go and get him something to eat and maybe a doctor."
"A doctor?" Ben walked over to see a little face peeking out at them. "Hey, Buddy, having fun?"
Carlos blinked at him and moved around in the bubbles and giggled so quilt that Ben almost missed it so he smiled and grabbed a cup filling it with water and poured it over the little boy to revile him and as the bubbles flowed away Ben froze.
Carlos was oblivious to the shock and horror on Ben's face as he was playing with the bubbles and foam, touching and squeezing it through his little fingers. Carlos didn't notice Ben staring at his bruises on his body nor how he was looking at the many claw like scars on his body. No, Carlos didn't notice how Ben could count each of his ribs and how he turned away trying to catch his breath for it left him from the shock.
When Ben was finally able to look back he saw Carlos holding out a small handful to him looking worried. Smling sadly he poked the bubbles.
"Where did they go?"
The little boy giggled before trying to hide under the bubbles again. Taking a cup Ben raised off Carlos before grabbing the shampoo and pouring some on.
"Come on, let's wash your hair." Ben smiled and started to scrub the stuff in and Carlos covered his eyes with his hands. "Hey, after we get you all clean and dried up, do you want to come with me and get something to eat?"
Those little eyes looked up excitedly and Carlos nodded franticly.
"Alright, than let's get out shall we?"
Evie woke up when Snow picked her up. Wrapping her little arm around the woman's neck, Evie rested her head on the shoulder blinking slowly as Snow walked down the hallway. Still tired and wanting to sleep she just watched as the halls passed her by wondering if they had moved. Had Mommy found them a new place to live? Had a Prince come to her rescues and now she could live like the Princess she was born to be?
All these things made Evie smile a bit. Maybe it was the day that everything turned for the good. No more struggling each and every day? Yay, and Mommy would be so happy, so proud of her and so there would be food, so much food, that they didn't have to go a day or two without it. Even if sometimes they had to go without food she remembered Mommy giving her some scraps that she had saved.
"Mommy, are we in a new home?" Evie asked quietly hugging tighter.
"Well, we are going to a new house, Evie and later well call your Mommy and tell her where you are."
Wait.
Evie jerked up looking at snow white as she was now fully awake. "Where's Mommy?"
"She's not here right now, Evie."
The eyes suddenly teared up and were watery. "I want my Mommy!"
This wasn't right! This wasn't a Prince and this wasn't her new home! No, there was none of those things and when she looked around she didn't see enough mirror, not enough rooms, not walls topped from top to bottom gold!
"Let me go!" Evie cried fighting. "Let me go! Let me go…!"
"Evie, calm down!"
Still fighting Evie managed to get free and she shot off running around and desperately calling out for her mother. Snow gave chase. She ran after the little girl feeling horrible for her. She could tell that her mother did care for her but judging by how terrified Evie was than that meant that the little girl had probably never ever been apart from her mother.
A scream made Snow jump and she hurried and found Evie looking into a mirror in horror and was touching her face seeing al the messed up make.
"No! It's ruined!" Evie cried with tears flowing down her face. "It's all ruined!"
"Evie… come here,"
"No…!" Evie sobbed and backed away. "I want my Mommy…. She can fix my make up."
It broke her heart to see the little girl so depended on makeup and how upset she was. After all she was just a five year old little girl torn away from her mother. Walking up to her she brought Evie into her arms and rocked her into a hug.
"It's alright, Evie… come on, let's go and I'll help you fix your make up, okay?"
"W-will Mommy c-come so-soon?"
"I think so."
Nodded Evie let Snow pick her up and take her away but she looked into the mirror one last time and her heart broke at how terrible ugly she looked. Oh, Mommy would not be happy.
Aladdin found Jay in the kitchen piling food into a backpack that was obviously stolen since it had Chad Charming's name on it. The thing was half full and Jay was on the top self-looking for something else and would toss something things into the backpack.
"That's a nice pile you have there." Aladdin grinned and then found when Jay roared at him and leapt form the self and at him. "Whoa!"
Catching him Aladdin spun around and set Jay down holding him. Jay tried to break free but Aladdin just held onto him before looking around.
"If you want something sweet you should take those chocolate bars."
"I don't need your help!" Jay struggled. "Let go! I ain't afraid of you!"
"I know, but you do want to fed your friends right?"
Jay paused and looked up narrowing his eyes at him. "What's it to you?"
"Nothing," Aladdin shrugged. "But I do know what would taste really good?"
"Slop!"
"Uh, no."
"Barely moldy cheese?"
"No! No, chocolate strawberries!"
"What's… a strawberry?"
"You never had one?"
"No. Is it poison or a plant?"
The worst part was that Al knew that Jay was serious.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Aladdin."
"Oh." Jay smiled. "I know you!"
"You do?"
"Yes!" Jay turned and kicked Aladdin right between his legs. "That's for my Father!"
Aladdin crumpled to the floor in pain and Jay whooped before running off!
