Welcome to my new one-shot ! This is a Christmas fic (I know it's nowhere near Christmas, but I wanted to write about it, so I did!). This will have some Carlos/Evie it and this will also act as a prequel to my second one-shot, Storms Aren't Always Bad. This will most likely only be a one-shot but it may continue if anybody wants it to. Mal, Jay and Evie are twelve while Carlos is ten. Enjoy !

~Descendants~

Mal looked out of her only bedroom window and stared in confusion at the white fluffy powder that covered the ground and roofs. 'How odd' Mal thought, 'I wonder what it is'. It usually rained on the Isle, so that's why Mal was so confused. On very rare days, the sun was out and on even rarer days, they saw rainbows after storms, so it was strange to see some kind of white material covering the ground. Curious to see what it was, little twelve year-old Mal threw on her black leather jacket and slipped on her knee-high black boots before running outside to see what it was.

"Mal, Mal, Mal, Mal, MAL !" Evie called as she saw her friend coming towards her, "Mallory !"

"Shut up, Eve, I'm here" Mal growled. Tiny white snowflakes landed on her sleeves and she brushed them off, not liking the fact that the weird shapes were somehow attacking her. "You know what the heck this is, or not ?! I was totally planning to steal from Hunter and Giselle today and now I can't thanks to this stupid dust covering the earth !" Mal exclaimed. Hunter was the son of Captain Hook and Giselle was the daughter of Gothel. Both were self-absorbed, yet very smart and of course, enemies to Mal, so that's why she tried to make both their lives as miserable as she could.

"I thought it was poison, but Carlos turned it down. Speaking of Carlos, he's having some kind of battle with Jay. It's kind of like tag, but we use whatever that is and try to hit each other by throwing it !" Evie pointed to the soft white cloud that they were standing on, "Do you want to join us ? You could be on my team !"

"I rather be killed with an axe" Mal deadpanned. "Not that I don't love playing with some stupid material that ruined my plans" Mal rolled her eyes before continuing, sarcasm still clear in her voice, "Who doesn't love that ?!"

"Come on, Mallory, it could be fun !"

"Never, ever, call my by my first name" Mal said as a sparkle of evil shone in her eyes, "Because if you do, you won't live to see tomorrow"

"Okay, okay. You don't need to go all serial-killer on me" Evie said as she put her hands up defensively in a surrender position and took a step back, "I think you will like it, though ! Just imagine we're using water balloons or paintballs instead of…" Evie motioned to the white dust again, "Whatever that is"

"Fine" Mal sighed, "I guess I'll try it for a little while but if we play an entire two games and nobody gets hurt, I'm going to curse you all"

Evie grinned, "Fair enough" Evie quickly turned on her heels and started running the opposite way, towards the Forbidden Forest, with Mal sprinting along behind her. A few minutes later, the two girls slid to a stop and glanced at the forest that was decorated in white before climbing up a tree, across from Carlos and Jay.

"MAL IS ON MY TEAM !" Evie screamed as she tried to get the message over to her other friends.

"WE'RE GOING TO CRUSH YOU TO THE DEATH !" Jay yelled back. He scooped up a snowball and threw it across the forest, making it hit Mal in the face.

"YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT TO ME ! YOU'RE GOING DOWN !" Mal shouted. She jumped off the branch she was standing on and landed on a giant rock. Mal formed a snowball and tossed it across towards Evie. Mal smiled when the snowball hit Evie on her shoulder.

"I THOUGHT WE WERE ON TEAMS !" Evie screeched. She grabbed a pile of snow and threw it, not bothering to see where it landed or who it hit.

"EVERYBODY FOR THEMSELVES !" Mal shrieked as she jumped off the large rock and took cover behind it, barely missing the snowball that Jay threw at her.

The four pre-teens continued throwing snowballs for hours and hours, losing track of time until the sunset. Evie was the first one who noticed it and immediately spoke up.

"Guys, it's getting pretty late. I think we should head back soon" Evie stated, as she brushed the snow off of her shoulders. She shook her head like a wet dog, trying to desperately get all the white material off of her because she knew that her mother would be mad that she ruined her pretty hair and beautiful clothes.

"Shut up, Evie. Our parents don't care about us and I couldn't care less what my mom thinks. Besides, none of our parents will care where we are as long as we make it back before morning, yeah ?" Mal replied.

Evie nodded silently, a single tear streaming out of her cheek. She'd always thought that Evil Queen cared about her at least a bit. Maybe that was wrong, maybe Mal was right. Evie shook her head and pushed the thoughts away, instead focusing of what was going on with her friends around her.

"O-okay then. I guess we can play a few more games" Evie said, her voice barely above a whisper. She went over to one of the trees and started climbing up it, finally making it to the tallest tree as Mal followed behind her.

Jay and Carlos climbed up another tree, across from the Evil Queen's and Maleficent's daughter. "Are you two chickens ready yet ?!" Evie shouted.

"WE'RE GOING TO BEAT YOU INTO DUST !" Jay yelled back, as his way of saying 'yes'. He scooped up some snow and threw it towards the two girls, not caring who it hit. When Jay saw that Evie had thrown a snowball that was coming towards him, he jumped from the tree branch, did a backflip in midair and landed perfectly on his feet. "HA ! YOU CAN'T CATCH ME EVEN IF YOU TRIED !"

"You want to see if that's true ?" Mal yell-asked. She too hopped off her tree branch, as did Evie and Carlos. Carlos started springing, trying to catch up to Jay and outrun the girls a the same time, which wasn't exactly easy. He was so focused on outrunning Mal and Evie he didn't even see the patch of ice ahead of him, making him slip and fall unconscious as soon as his head hit the frozen ground.

"CARLOS !" Evie shouted as she saw what happened. She instantly started running faster than she was before and kneeled beside Carlos when she finally reached him. Mal was on the same side as her and Jay knelt down beside Carlos, across from his other two friends.

"Is he okay ?" Evie asked as she watched Mal check his pulse, "Is he going to live ?!"

"He's ten, Evie, he's not going to die" Mal said as she rolled her eyes.

"Aww…" Jay announced sadly, "Are you sure he's not going to die, because if he did, I'd be totally cool with that"

"Shut up, Jay !" Evie exclaimed. She glanced at the sky ant noticed that it was now a dark-blue instead of the purplish-orange it was a few minutes ago. It was beginning to get dark, Evie knew that, and she also knew that if they didn't get home soon, they'd be in deep trouble. Well, that's what she thought anyway. She didn't know what the others were thinking.

"Sorry" Jay apologized. Evie looked up in surprise and disbelief. She couldn't believe it ! Did Jay actually apologize ? It was rare that anybody apologized, it was one of the many rules they had to follow while on the Isle. In fact, Evie remembered reading that if anybody apologized, they were to be executed and Maleficent would not hesitate to execute anybody.

"Did you just..apologize ?" Evie asked, still thinking she was hearing things.

"Y-Yeah. Carlos is my friend, I shouldn't of said that" Jay repeated, "Cherish it, Eve, it's the only apology you'll hear and get"

"Well, as much as I hate to break this stupid lovey-dovey moment up, I have to. Eve, do you have a flashlight on you ?" Mal interrupted.

Evie and Jay burst out laughing. "Are you serious, Mal ?" Evie said in between laughs, "We live in the Isle, of course I don't have a flashlight ! At least I don't have one that works, anyway" Evie dug in her pocket, took out her magic mirror and tossed it to Mal, "This is the only thing I've got. You can try it out all you want, though I highly doubt it actually works"

"Ugh, whatever. I guess it'll have to do" Mal muttered. She glanced at the magic mirror and turned it over, as if expecting something to happen. After a minute, Mal asked the question that was bothering her. "HOW THE HECK DO YOU TURN THIS THING ON ?!"

Evie grabbed the mirror from Mal and pressed a button on the gold rim, making the mirror glow with dark blue as light came from it. "It's just a simple button, Mal. It's not that hard" Rvie rolled her eyes and passed her mirror back to Mal, who stood up and started using it as a flashlight.

Evie was about to pick up the still-unconscious Carlos and carry him when she was stopped by Jay. "I'll carry him" Jay whispered, "You better go with Mal and make sure she uses that thing correctly. I don't know about you, but I actually want to live through tonight"

Evie nodded and hurried to catch up with Mal. Jay picked up Carlos, tossed him over his shoulder and he started following Mal and Evie, who were arguing about how to use the mirror.

"Mal, Evie ?"

"What ?" Mal growled as she turned on her heels to look at Jay.

"Do you guys even know where your going ?!"

Maleficent's and Evil Queen daughter glanced at their surroundings before nervously looking at the ground. "Stupid forest" Mal muttered before starting to walk south, with her two friends following her.

Evie sighed sadly as she continued walking behind Mal. This was going to be a very, very long night…
