It's chapter 4! Who's excited? Who's ready to find out if Evie really did make a mistake? Read on, and some, but probably not all questions will be answered. Shoutout to AnaHalls, Izzy, and Blueshinymoonlight for reviewing.
Smile's POV
I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to go outside, or escort these stupid heroes there. But for some reason, I follow orders. This is where it has gotten me. Surrounded by people who are laughing and talking without arguing and- smiling. Don't tell me shit about how my name is Smile, it doesn't mean I want to do it. Jafar must've been high when he named me. Smile, on an Isle full of villains? Ugh. It doesn't mean I was bullied though. It really just made people more afraid of me. I remember the first and last time someone made fun of my name:
"Hi, hate to meet you. Your name is?" This boy walked up to me and introduced himself in standard villain style.
"Smile, keke." I had always had this habit of laughing every time I spoke. Laughing, but no smiling.
"Smile? That's something heroes do! Ha! Everyone, the boy's a do-gooder hero!" The boy sneered. I could feel my face contorted in to what certainly was not a smile. Everyone surrounding me was laughing and jeering and- I just couldn't take being insulted.
"Keke-ke, you think you can just laugh at me like that? Do you know who my father is? Jafar, one of the greatest villains of all time! Just because your parents probably converted to heroism here on the Isle, doesn't mean you have to take it out on me. Ok?" The kids were staring, shocked at the outburst. The boy glared at me, having made such an insult to him and his family. I don't even know who his parents were. Shocked into submission. That's what he was.
Then, the first punch was thrown.
POW! Smack across my face, my jaw throbbing from the blow. It just went on from there, a full-blown fight. We weren't afraid to play dirty. Scratching, kicking each other in the balls, it all happened, until we were both bloody masses. But when it was all over, one of us was on the ground, and the other kicked them one last time, then walked away.
I won.
"Excuse me, how much time do we have left? I want to take a good selfie while I can." A girl wearing pink and blue asks, phone already in hand.
"You get forty-five minutes, and right now you have enough time left." I answer, not looking at her.
"Yeah, but how much time? Like, how many minutes?" She asks again, her voice nearly becoming a whine.
"You have plenty of time, okay?"
"How many minutes?"
"You're wasting your selfie time, why don't you go do that?" I sneer.
The girl huffs and flounces away. Good riddance to her.
"Everyone back inside! NOW!" A villain yells. Wait, I don't think he's a villain. I've never seen him on the isle, and his clothes are a little bright.
"Are you a villain, keke?" I ask him, just to see if he'll lie about it.
"Y-y-yeah. My name's Hakuryuu. You p-probably haven't seen much of me on the I-I-Isle." He stammers, looking to the right of me. I know he's lying, who wouldn't?
"Ok now listen, Hakuryuu, keke. I don't appreciate imposters. Why do you even want them to go back inside? This is probably the only sunlight you'll get for a long time." I question, watching him become more and more nervous.
"Because… I can't say, but they have to."
"Keke, you can either tell me, or I'll beat it out of you my self." I threaten. People usually give up their act after this. Gossip travels fast on the Isle.
"Did you say be-"
THUMP!
"Oooohhhh!" Everyone yelled, some girls covering their eyes.
"I wouldn't have done that, I have powers." Hakuryuu warns.
"So what, keke? I do too." I retaliate. Must keep calm, must keep calm…
"Ok, you asked for this." He says. He looks like he's concentrating, and then this HUGE dragon comes out of his back.
"Holy shit!" I say.
The dragon snaps at me, just barely missing swiping off some skin.
"So you want to play dirty, huh," I jeer, "The incarnation of Corruption! The definition of evil! Come forth and plunge the enemy into endless despair! The Fallen Deity Venu-Lucifer! I summon you!"
The crownd gasps as my Spirit appears, the red demon they were all taught to fear. Then, one by one, the heroes start to cheer. Not all of them, but many. I guess some people aren't completely good at heart.
Venu-Lucifer starts attacking the dragon that Hakuryuu has, they engaged in a fierce battle. Hakuryuu gets this look in his eyes, and I know Venu-Lucifer has done his job. He runs at me and tackles me to the ground, swinging and flailing hoping to find a target. I shove him off of me, and start punching him. I didn't expect him to fight back so hard. Most people just give up before a punch. But Hakuryuu, he's different. He punches, and through one specificly aimed kick, brings me to my knees. Everyone is vulnerable to a kick in the groin. He stands over me, this sick smile on his face. My Spirit and his dragon are still locked in combat, though it looks like the dragon is losing.
Distractions are very bad, and I learn this when I get a hard hit in the face while I was looking away. Focus, Smile! FOCUS!
I recover, and spring back up. I punch Hakuryuu hard in the thoat, and while he's bending over trying to get his air back, I'm beating his head like a drum. Left side, right side, left side, right side. A kick in the shin. A blow to the side. Eventually we are fighting so fiercely that we don't know who's throwing what punch. The dragon blows this huge gust of wind into Venu-Lucifer's face, but the only thing that moves is a couple trees, ripped out of the ground and carried far, far away. Hakuryuu gets a look on his face, like he just remembered something. He does the concentrating thing, and all of a sudden he is covered in white. I swing, and have to hold my hand because it just hurts so fucking much. I can't fight anymore. I walk away, looking at the faces of the different people. Venu-Lucifer seems to get the hint and disappears.
Evie and Jay are staring at me, just staring. One hand in the other, they don't know what else to do but stare. Stare, stare, stare.
Evie's POV
What the actual fuck just happened? I just walk outside, and there's a freaking fight with some sort of dragon and I don't even know what.
Time was up a long time ago, but no one came inside. I was seriously just about to fire some people, then I I come out here and see why no one was hered inside.
Something needs to be done. We need to speed up the process. I really can't stand to see all these people, these heroes just being here. It drives me crazy, a constant itch beneath my skin.
Someone needs to die.
Nothing makes sense anymore. Managing an entire kingdom is harder than I thought. I don't know how my mom did it. Well, one down, 3 to go.*
Author's note: One, I'm aware that it says one down, 3 to go, but I said that Mal's mom was killed. I'm rewriting Stolen Kisses and Secret Glances, and that is going to change. I will end up editing some of these chapters too. Next, That was an awesome fight scene, wasn't it? Pure epicness. Please review, favorite, and follow, and I'll see you next time. Also, my next update will be in the weekend next week, because I am extremely busy Monday-Thursday. Why do they have everything in the same week? Ok then, bye.
Evil dreams,
