Chapter 7: The Devil's Daughters Hang

Diana, Evie, and Mal met in Evie and Mal's room, all three wearing their Devil's Daughters jackets.

"Well, ladies," Diana smirked. "I would say today was a success. Ben is now dating Mal."

"But I almost had Chad," Evie frowned.

"Chad is slime, E, unworthy of you," Diana replied. "As one of the three princesses of Tartarus, any who seeks to be your lover must prove themselves worthy. In my eyes, Chad has failed in that task."

Evie nodded silently. "What about you, Diana? Dating two guys at once?" Mal shot.

Diana rolled her eyes. "I'm dating either Tom or Bruce—yet. They're both pretty nice, but I think I prefer Bruce," Diana shrugged innocently. "Not a word to Jason about this. You both know how protective he is."

"When you graduate, Diana, I'll be eighteen," Evie pointed out.

"How about this, you apply for independence, but you can still live with the rest of us, Evie?" Diana suggested. "Until your life is in order. Same thing for you, too, Mal, when you're eighteen. And Hadie."

"What about Jason?" Mal asked.

"My twin?" Diana shrugged. "He can do whatever he wants—and knowing him, he'll stick around as my protector. I can only claim guardianship of two of my younger siblings."

"Unless Mom and Dad have another kid," Evie pointed out.

"Depending on when the kid is conceived, he or she would probably be born here in Auradon—you two don't remember this, but Hadie was actually born in Auradon, not on the Isle of the Lost—but when would I claim custody of them?" Diana wondered aloud.

Mal and Evie shrugged.

Diana bit her lip. "You miss Carlos?" Mal guessed.

Diana nodded. "As my son," Diana admitted. "And I'm worried about Maera. I left her there with that witch."

Mal nodded. "Sis, are you okay?" Evie asked.

Diana nodded. "It's just so weird, here, I can hang out with my cousins without us fearing for our lives," Diana admitted. "Remember the last time we saw Uma and Maxine?"

Evie and Mal nodded sadly. Everyone had survived, but Maxine had lost her left arm, trying to protect Mal.

Then Evie grinned. "Well, I like them," she declared.

Diana grinned. "So do I," she murmured. "Wonder what they and my moms and my aunts would think of Hunter and Regina?"

Mal paused. "Diana, what about Uma and Maxine?" She asked in a small voice.

"I will be damned if I don't try to get them here," Diana replied. "I just have to convince Ursula and Morgana to let me claim custody of Uma and Maxine too."

Evie nodded.

The other two shrugged. Diana clapped her hands. Evie and Mal copied her, each adding one more clap. Diana clapped once, Evie clapped twice and Mal clapped three times.

"Daughters of the Devil," Diana began.

"Born of different mothers," Evie continued.

"But sisters we remain forever," Mal finished.

Diana then returned to her shared room with Donna, where she was surprised to see both of her cousins.
