Author's Note: I don't own anything other than my original characters (There will be a new one introduced in this chapter)
Once Lefi realized that Mal had defeated their mother, she began venturing into town more often. At first, she kept to herself, simply exploring the parts of town she hadn't been to since she was a child. However, a few weeks after the coronation, she met a redhead girl that she'd never seen before. She quickly became enamored with the girl, Heather – who she learned to be the daughter of the Queen of Hearts. She knew that her fascination with the girl was because she was the complete opposite of the one she was desperate to forget.
As their relationship progressed, Lefi found herself merely spending time with Heather for that reason alone – she briefly made her forget about Evie. She came to the realization that she had no other use for the girl other than that, but couldn't bring herself to stop seeing her. She knew that if she did, she'd be forced to think about the girl that broke her heart.
The following school year, Ben announced that – due to the success of Mal, Evie, Carlos, Jay, and Lefi's integrations to the school – three new Villain Kids would be joining the school. Upon hearing the news, Mal groaned.
"It better not be Uma." she whispered, causing her friends and sister to laugh quietly.
"Who will be joining us?" Lonnie asked. Ben smiled.
"Two of the grandchildren of Lady Tremaine and the daughter of the Queen of Hearts." he explained. Lefi sat up quickly, causing Evie to look over when she felt her girlfriend's head lift off of her shoulder. "They'll be arriving here this afternoon. I'm hoping that you five will help them adjust to life here."
"What's wrong?" Evie whispered, watching the blonde carefully.
"Nothing." Lefi replied. Raising an eyebrow, the taller girl turned back to the front. As Ben continued talking, Lefi closed her eyes. She wasn't sure how to tell Evie about her past with Heather. Just then, Ben's phone went off.
"Oh, good. They're almost here. Let's go out front." he said. They arrived shortly before the limo did. When Heather stepped out of the car, Lefi looked down.
"Do you think Heather's still mad about what happened before we left?" Mal whispered, causing Evie to laugh.
"Judging by the look she's giving us, I'm going to say yes." she replied. Mal smirked. "Do you ever miss being evil?"
"Sometimes. Do you?"
"I don't think I got a chance to fully explore my evil side before we came to Auradon." Evie explained. Mal chuckled just as the three new kids stopped in front of them. "Nice to see you again, Heather." Completely ignoring the pair, Heather looked at Lefi.
"Hey, Lefi." she said, grinning. Seeing the way that the redhead was staring at her girlfriend, Evie raised an eyebrow. "It's been awhile."
"Yep. How are you?" Lefi said, avoiding the girl's gaze.
"Good." Lefi nodded.
"Well, that's great. Welcome to Auradon." she said. With that, she turned to Ben with an expectant eyebrow. "Ben, you had a tour planned, right?"
"I did. Let's get started." Stepping up to Evie's side, Lefi immediately grabbed her hand.
"Are you okay?" Evie whispered, pressing a kiss to the side of her head.
"Of course." the blonde replied, a small smile on her face. Winking at her girlfriend, she began walking with the group, completely ignoring Heather.
…
Throughout the tour of Auradon Prep, Evie couldn't help but notice how Heather interacted with Lefi. She insisted on standing next to the blonde at all times, at one point even attempting to stand in between Evie and Lefi. About halfway through the tour, Lefi noticed her girlfriend's irritation. Tugging her arm slightly, the blonde pulled her away from the group. "Are you okay?" she asked.
"No. Why is Heather so obsessed with you?" Evie replied. Biting her lip, Lefi looked at the redhead before turning back to her girlfriend. She wanted to tell her the truth, she truly did. However, she knew that Evie would react negatively, most likely confronting Heather in front of everyone. While Evie was usually very positive and joyful, Lefi also knew that she was very protective and possessive. She didn't want to cause a scene in front of everyone. Smiling slightly, she hugged Evie.
"I don't know, Eves." she whispered, closing her eyes as Evie held her close.
"We need to talk." Lefi declared. Heather raised an eyebrow as the blonde sat down. "I can't keep doing this with you."
"Why not?" Heather asked. Lefi couldn't tell her it was because of Evie, so she simply shrugged.
"I'm just not feeling it anymore." she said. Heather rolled her eyes.
"You were feeling it last night." Lefi sighed. "Whatever." the redhead mumbled, walking away. As she watched her leave, the blonde knew she'd made the right decision.
She wasn't Evie.
Just as she was about to get lost in her thoughts, she was pulled out of them as royal messengers appeared in front of her. "Um… hi?"
"Are you Leficent, sister of Mal and daughter of Maleficent?" the lead messenger asked. The blonde raised an eyebrow.
"I prefer Lefi, but yeah. Mal's my sister. Why?" she asked.
"King Ben would like to invite you to attend Auradon Prep. If you choose to accept, you would leave the Isle immediately." She allowed herself to smile slightly.
"I'd have to get my stuff first." she said.
"Of course." She nodded.
"Okay. I'll go to Auradon."
