Hello Descendant Lovers! I have so it so many times before but I have to say it again. I am so so so sorry for taking so long to update. I have so much going these past months that I've barely had time to stop and catch my breath. With new things going on at work, the holidays coming and going so quickly, one thing after another just keeps happening to me. But I've finally found some time to update because as I said at the beginning of this story that no matter how long it takes me to update and finish this story, I will not abandon it; I will finish it! I promise!

One last thing, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

That all being said, let's get back to the story!

Evie entered the dorm room slowly while looking around. She let out a scoff with everything she saw. From the drawings on the walls to the beautiful dresses hanging up.

She didn't know who made all the drawings so she paid no mind to them. She looked at the closet filled with dresses of all sizes and colors. She knew it was her work, but she didn't like how they looked. She shot out magic to make the dresses more villain-like. She formed a satisfied smile at what she just did.

"Evie!" a voice cried out from the door. Evie's head whipped in the direction of the sound. She turned to see Mal.

"Mal? What are you doing here Is the barrier down already?"

"I live here. This is our room."

Evie shot a confused look at Mal. She soon let out a chuckle. "What?!" Evie continued laughing.

"It's true," Mal said as she walked into the room, leaving the door open.

"Please! I barely even know you. I've just seen you walk down the streets on the Isle. And everyone knows your name because your mother is the evilest on the Isle."

"Evie, we are friends. Best friends." Mal knew that Evie was cursed, but she had a hard time believing how much the curse had affected her.

"We are not. Hannah is my best friend, and Uma as well. Actually, on the Isle, we don't really have friends, we have, hmm, you could call them sidekicks." Evie smiled.

"What?" Mal asked shocked. She thought the curse would just erase memories, not make new ones to replace them.

"Why does this seem so shocking to you? Why do you even care?" Evie asked curiously.

"I told you, we're-"

"Yeah, best friends. I heard. But you have it all wrong. I don't have friends. I have sidekicks like I just told you."

Mal was starting to get tired of repeating everything and having everything repeated to her, and she also knew that she was running out of time, so she decided to get right to the point. "Evie, you need to listen to me, you are under a curse."

"A curse?" Evie asked half-heartedly.

"Yes, one that made you forgot your life in Auradon, forget your friends and make you evil."

"Uh-huh. And who put this 'so-called' curse on me, hmm?"

"Your mother did."

Evie let out another laugh. "Really?"

"Look, I know it sounds crazy, but that's what happened."

"I don't believe it. My mother would never do anything like that to me. She loves me," Evie said as she looked in her magic mirror and fixed her hair. She then looked down to her necklace to see she wasn't wearing her big red heart necklace.

"That's what she wants you to think. She wants you to think that you are truly evil, but you're not, Evie."

"Well, now I know you're lying," Evie took off the necklace she was wearing and started to look for her heart necklace. "I have always been evil. My mother is proud of me because of it. She is also happy that I have magic," she continued as she opened a box to find her red necklace. She quickly put it on. "Ahh, that's better."

"Ok, yes, you apparently have always had magic, but not a lot of people knew about it. Just your mom and Hannah." Mal didn't mention Gil because she wasn't sure how Evie would react to Gil knowing.

"That's right. But when the barrier was put over the Isle, I couldn't use it anymore. But now that I was able to get to this place, I can be my old self again and use my magic to help my villains take over Auradon, just as I was destined to do," Evie added as she shot a small amount of blue magic out of her hand.

"Evie, that's is not your destiny. Your destiny is to be in Auradon and become a good person, maybe even a hero."

"A hero?" Evie chuckled.

"Evie, please. Try to remember. Being evil and using your magic to hurt others, that isn't you. And Hannah is not your friend, or sidekick or whatever you call her. She tried to hurt you a long time ago."

"Hannah would never hurt me."

"But she did. You told me. When you were younger, she tried getting you to something you didn't want to do, but she didn't care. And you told her that you were going to tell her father what she was doing. She couldn't have that. So she tried to kill you. And she almost did."

Evie's wall was slowly starting to come down. Mal slowly crept to Evie and slowly but carefully reached for her hands. "But I saved you," she added as she locked hands with Evie. Evie fought a little but stopped when Mal continued to speak. "You were in the water, fighting for your life. I heard the screams so I went to see what was going on. And then I saw you. I remembered seeing you walking around the Isle before and you seemed pretty cool from what I could see, but you just needed to be toughened up a little."

"So I found something long enough for you to grab onto. I wasn't strong enough to lift you up on the bridge and I knew no one was going to help me, so I told you to hold on and I pulled you all the way down the bridge and onto the shore. That is how you managed to live because I dropped everything to save you."

Evie's eyes were closed the whole time Mal talked about the memory. Magic from Mal's hands surged through Evie's body as Evie started to remember the day she did almost die. She let out a small gasp when she realized that she did remember it. Then it happened.

Evie let out a louder and longer gasp as hundreds of memories began flowing in. Memories from the Isle when she was hanging out with Mal, Jay, and Carlos to the time they left to go to school in Auradon. To arriving in Auradon to the first day of school, more and more memories rushed in like a harsh creek. The more recent memories brought Evie back. She could see everything. She could remember everything.

Evie opened her eyes to see Mal with eyes filled with concern. Mal hoped that the spell had worked the way she thought it would. "Mal?" Evie gasped.

"Evie?" Mal asked to see if Evie remembered anything.

"I-I remember. I remember, Mal!"

Mal grabbed Evie for a tight hug. "Oh, thank goblins!"

Evie held Mal tightly as she recounted everything that had happened. To the visit to the museum to the kidnapping. She knew that Mal was not just relieved that she had her memories back, but she was also relieved that she was safe. She buried her face in Mal's shoulder after letting out a sigh. She heard Mal let out a sigh of relief as well.

"Well, well, well, if this isn't a touching reunion." a mysterious voice came from the door. Evie and Mal knew exactly who the voice belonged to. They released from their hug and Mal pushed Evie behind her for protection.

"Uma!"

Uma! What does she want? Is she going to do something to Mal and Evie? Meanwhile, Evie has her memories back now! And now we know more about Evie's past that she didn't even remember if it wasn't for Mal. It's a good thing that Evie has a friend like Mal to help her through everything, even if it isn't easy. But what will happen now, And what will become of Auradon and the people in it? Find out in the next update!
