Hey guys, sorry about the late update. I have had a lot to do lately. So anyway the always same disclaimer of not owning anything but my characters and my songs and my story line. All the rest of the descendants world and the original characters from the movie are all owned by Disney. Well enjoy this chapter... 'Hurt and Comfort'.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Singing

After Kyran had his birthday, the group had gone to the beach, with the King and his friends after school. The hero kids had wanted to go swimming, but stopped when they noticed that the eight villain kids and Ben, were not going into the water. When asked why, the villain kids said they never had the chance to learn how to swim because the magic barrier never let them reach the water. This came as a shock to all of them except for Ben, who already had known since his and Mal's first date. After that though, the rest of the week went pretty well. That is for him and Mystie, well only them at first. Elizabeth and Yuma had a different week from their friends, however, they all now had something in common

Yuma walked around the school, the school with all of the kids that did not trust him. They had all seen his voodoo fight with Niru and now... he was the one that no one wanted to be around. Well except for his friends. The eight new kids had all grown closer together; even he and Niru had gotten close. He still remembers how Kyran and Roopin had actually worked together to get them trapped in his room and wouldn't let them out until they sorted things out.

Even though they had all grown close, he felt that he had grown closer to someone in the group more than the others. And was actually this person that was following him around right now. Melody was persistent; he couldn't disagree to that statement. However, he did not really mind it. Yuma had realized that he was starting to grow feelings for the mermaid princess. The reason... she was not like other girls here in Auradon. Sure neither were Elizabeth and Mystie, but something about Melody, just sang to him.

That however, made him upset. Not once has a girl come up that he liked, and it actually scared him, and he hated being scared. One other thing that scared him was that he was sure that the black haired girl following him, wanted to know something important.

Though he thought this true he continued walking. He went out the school, around the tourney field, back into the school, through the halls, up to the top floor and into the library, where he went to hide when he wanted to be alone. Luckily no one was in the Library at the time, well no one except for the girl that had just followed him literally all around the school.

"What do you want?" He asked annoyed with the girl. Turning around to face Melody, he was surprised to see a look of hard concentration.

"I was talking with Elizabeth, and she hinted that your mother might of used you in some of her experiments is... is this true?" She asked feeling less and less brave as she neared the end of her question and ended up looking at the floor. When she looked up, she sees the feelings in Yuma's eyes. The first was anger, but anger at what she could not tell. Maybe it was at her for asking or that Elizabeth told her about it. However, she also saw an emotion that she would never believe she would see, sadness.

"Yeah so what's it to you if my mom did, on the Isle its normal for parents to us their kids. I'm not the worst off, actually I think that maybe it was Carlos that had it the worse." He said, saying the last part quietly to himself. Looking at the girl that had asked him about his Isle life, he saw that she had a few tears going down her cheeks and more just ready to escape her eyes.

"That's so sad."

"That's the way of life on the Isle." 'And it might be the life here in Auradon when their parents are released'.

"Well it shouldn't be." she said defiantly. He stared straight at her hardly and walked away. Leaving the school building all together, looking back to see if she was following, she wasn't, he walked all the way to the spot where the group had had their conversation. Looking around to make sure no one was around he began.

I try to forget

I don't look back

so why don't

they go away

These memories of mine

I don't want to hide

but I can't let them go

or let them show

For they think

That I am weak

their my friends

so I can't believe

That they would comprehend

that they would understand

what it's like to be me

and what they might see

These memories of mine

I don't want to hide

but I can't let them go

or let them show

Unknown to Yuma at this time, someone had found him and sat there, just listening to him sing.

I may be scared

but I won't show

the ugly truth

behind my sadness

She may hurt me

but I love her

he may hurt me

but I love him

These memories of mine

I don't want to hide

but I can't let them go

or let them show

The two have taught

me everything

so i'll love them

even with these scars

Scars of the past

past I don't need

need my place

place I can call home

because home

is where the heart is

where my friends are

and where I belong

These memories of mine

I don't want to hide

but I can't let them go

or let them show

because these memories are mine

and I won't, let, them, go...

As he stopped he quickly turned around to see that the person that was watching him was clapping.

"You're a really great singer Yuma." Melody said to him. "But I don't think you should, keep it a secret or be sad about it. You have friends that really care about you and they definitely would understand your pain." She said to him, grabbing both of his hands in hers. Yuma looked into her eyes and saw an emotion he never thought he would see. An emotion he might, maybe, probably won't, see from his father. His mother was totally not going to show him this feeling.

So Yuma had to ask himself why this little mermaid's eyes held the feelings of love. Looking deep into her eyes he did the one thing that he has actually been waiting to do for a long time now. He leaned forward and connected his lips with hers. Yuma was actually surprised when she didn't back away, but deepened the kiss. After a while they broke apart for some much needed air. The two of them just stood there, staring into each other's eyes. Yuma then realized that he had found something, the same thing his best friend Kyran had found, love.

Elizabeth was actually walking in the forest that day as well and saw the two of them kissing. To say she was saddened was an understatement. She had actually wanted love all along, but was to afraid to admit it to her friends. Walking away she started humming a song and once she was out of ear shot of anyone, began singing loud,

Love, what is it?

A poison, a feeling

Can anyone

Truly say

Is it like the waves the ocean?

As the crash hard against the shore

Is it a powerful force?

That can break any curse

While she was singing, her mind was filled with photos of the person she had a crush on.

Love is not

What I want

I won't admit

That I'm falling in love…

More images flooded her head as she reach the side of a river bend. Her singing catching the attention of a person sitting by the water. The person looking over at her, starting to play his banjo. Elizabeth didn't notice though and continued singing.

My heart beats fast

And never slows

With extreme pressure

And it starts to flow

When I see his face

It's like

I could fall

Into his open arms.

But love is not

What I want

I won't admit

That I'm falling in love…

The other person just continued to play their banjo until they started in on the next verse, scaring Elizabeth. Turning around she came face to face with the person she had fallen and could tell that he was singing about her.

I love the way she moves

I love the way she sings

It pulls at my heart

and makes me love her

she may be a shadow

but she is the light

that shines in my heart

all day and night

The two of them got really close by then and finished off the song together as the man stopped playing his banjo.

I may not want

to admit I'm falling in love

but right now...

I, don't care,

that I'm falling in love with you...

As the two end off they lean forward, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss. The two breaking apart and Elizabeth looking into the eyes of her, frog prince. Niru was looking at her with eyes filled with love and she couldn't deny that she loved him too. Look at that me and Yuma both falling in love with, wonder what's next for us, here in Auradon.

Well hope you enjoyed this chapter, I am so happy how this turned out. Also who saw that coming... probably everyone. Alright well I will hopefully be updating on Halloween my favourite time of year. You get to dress up as something you're not and get to show your style. Well any way, goodnight everyone.
