Since I haven't updated in forever, I decided to post another chapter. I actually had a really hard time thinking about how this chapter should go, but I finally came up with a (realistic) idea about Cruella and Carlos ! I also need some ideas for the next chapter, so if you have any suggestions, don't hesitate ! The next chapter should also be the last unless you all want six more chapters, with each one about a different character and this time I mean characters as in Belle, Beast, Sleeping Beauty (Aurora), Mulan and etc.
Now with all that said, on to the story !
~Descendants~
"Carlos !" Cruella screamed, "Carlos, come here right now !" Not even a minute later, a boy by the name of Carlos, who looked about eight years old came and stood in front of Cruella De Vil, looking up at her silently.
"Good, you're here. Go in my coat closet and reset all the traps. Some stupid kid like you snuck in there and messed around with them" Cruella demanded.
Carlos looked up at her with soft brown eyes and blinked. He had then took a step back and looked down at the ground as he said, "I don't want to"
"EXCUSE ME ?!" Cruella screeched, "WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME ?!"
"I said no" Carlos repeated, "I don't want to, I much rather go play with Evie, Jay and Mal, if that's okay with you"
"HOW STUPID ARE YOU ?!" Cruella yelled, clearly furious, "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO ME ?! YOU NEVER SAY 'NO' TO ME ! THIS ISN'T A CHOICE, ITS NOT AN OPTION ! THIS IS A REQUEST, AN ORDER, AN DEMAND ! NOW GO IN THERE AND RESET THE TRAPS !"
Carlos blinked back tears and ran inside the coat closet, making sure to leave the door open so he had some light coming in. However, as soon as he was inside, he heard the door slam, followed by a snicker he recognized too well. Cruella.
Carlos raced back to the door and pulled on it, accidentally taking off the doorknob in the process. 'H-How could she do this ? How could she lock me in here ?' Carlos thought, not even trying to stop the tears, 'I-I don't know why I'm surprised. I shouldn't be shocked, this happens every month'
"Maybe there's a back door, maybe there's a secret entrance" He whispered. Carlos wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and started to make his way down the pitch-black closet when he felt something snap at his ankle and he fell, screaming in pain and agony. Though as much as he wanted to just stay there and let everything fade into black, Carlos knew that he had to keep going. He had to keep looking, he couldn't be stuck in there. There had to be some back entrance, some trap door or even a tunnel that would lead to outside. Slowly, he Carlos stood up and started feeling the walls for a light switch, to no avail.
Just as he was about to give up, Carlos heard someone calling his name. "Mal ? Jay ?" Carlos called out, "Evie ? W-Who's there ?" When he got no response, Carlos frowned and let his tears started falling once again. What was wrong with him ? He was only in there for two minutes ! Was he already hearing voices, was he going insane ?
"C-Carlos ?" He instantly recognized that the voice belonged to Mal and he smiled, happily. His glad mood was then replaced with dread. 'Maybe this is just my imagination' Carlos thought, 'Maybe Mal isn't really here and my mother will just keep me locked in here for who knows how long'. Carlos closed his eyes for only a minute, but as soon as he did, everything went black for him.

Carlos woke to hearing voices and though he actually was awake, he kept his eyes closed. He didn't remember anything for a minute and then it all came back to him as the fear set in too. He remembered getting yelled at, being locked in Cruella's fur coat closet and getting hurt by one of the traps. Could somebody had found him ? Did Cruella finally let him out ? 'There's no way somebody could of found me and Cruella would've never let me out' He thought, 'It was impossible'. Carlos had then decided to open his eyes and when his blurry vision cleared, he saw his three friends standing in front of him.
"Carlos !" Evie cried, as she wrapped him in a hug, "You're alright !"
"Yeah, I guess I am" Carlos replied. He glanced at his surroundings and noticed that he was in the middle of a forest, along with Evie, Jay and Mal. "Where am I exactly ? How did I get here ?"
"We didn't see you for a few hours, so Evie suggested that we could ask Cruella if she saw you" Mal glared at Evie and rolled her eyes before continuing, "Of course, she screamed at us like crazy. Since that didn't work Jay said that we should've distracted her and snuck into her coat closet, which is what we did. We found you there and brought you here, which kind of leads up to now" Mal explained, "You've been out of it for about three days"
"Wait, what ?!" Carlos exclaimed, 'I've been unconscious for three days ?! I have to get back to my house, do you understand what Cruella's going to do to me when she finds out what happened ?! She's going to kill me !"
"Stop exaggerating" Mal snapped, "She's not going to kill, she's just going to hurt you till you bleed to death"
"Mal !" Jay yelled, "She's not going to kill him !"
"You don't know that" Mal stated.
"Whatever" Carlos said as he stood up and released himself from Evie's hug, "I have to get back or else I'll be in more trouble than I already am. I'll see you guys later, okay ?"
Evie's smile immediately vanished and was replaced with tears. "O-Okay. I-I'll see you later then, Carlos. Bye !" Evie gave the son of Cruella De Vil a quick kiss on the cheek beforeunning off and joining her other two friends.
"Bye" Carlos said as he left and prepared himself for another screaming session with Cruelle. He couldn't believe it, he was unconscious for three days ! Carlos sighed and continued walking back to his house, already expecting what was to come and knowing that it wouldn't end well.

How was that ? This chapter didn't exactly focus as much on Cruella and Carlos as it did with Carlos and his friends, but I thought it was pretty good. Thanks for reading and I hope you liked this chapter ! See you next time !
