Chapter 11: The Isle of the lost

Even though four months had passed since the barrier separating the Isle of the Lost from the rest of Auradon was taken down, life hadn't changed much for the Isle's citizens. The daily food deliveries still contained rotten food, old clothes were still delivered every week.

Ben had given orders to change this however, with all the pressures of the wedding and the additional ceremonies to get Mal coronated as Queen, it had slipped his mind to check to make sure change had actually been implemented for the Isle.

Now, however, the citizens of Auradon had the chance to experience exactly what the citizens of the Isle faced every day. The Auradonians, some of whom had never once set foot on the Isle after the barrier was taken down, were now trapped there just as the villains and VKs had been for twenty years.

Belle sighed as she walked the dirty streets of the Isle she and her husband had helped to set up. It had been one thing to hear Mal and her friends talk about what the Isle was going through. It was another thing entirely to experience it herself.

We should have done more, she thought. How did I spend twenty years and not think about the Isle? How did Adam not once wonder how his own citizens were faring? Sure they had been our enemies once upon a time but Ben's right. They're still people. And as Ben had said the day he told us about his first proclamation, the children are innocent in all of this.

As she continued to make her way down the streets of the Isle, Belle was aware of the dirty looks she received from passersby. Nothing much had changed in that regard, she had heard the comments that were muttered the day the barrier was taken down.

"Now they care about us, because four kids said to…"

"We're not stupid, they still fear us…"

"Better to stay here then to go and pretend to be like them…"

And of course, where the villains stayed so did their children. Belle could still remember that fateful day on the bridge, when most of the villains made the collective decision to stay on the Isle.

They had told Mal that they would always respect her. However, they had turned to Ben and told him that they would never respect him, that it had been his father's mistake to banish them to the Isle for twenty years and never give them a second thought. That they didn't want his pity and that he couldn't give them back the time stolen from them.

Her heart broke, seeing the look on Ben's face. It had taken suppressing every instinct Belle had to not rush up and engulf Ben in her arms, promising him she'd make everything better just as she used to when he was a little boy and had fallen.

But Mal then took his hand and whispered something in Ben's ear. Whatever it was had made Ben smile slightly before making a speech to the villains about how he hoped to be better than his father had been, that he hoped to one day gain the respect they were giving Mal, before they left with the other VKs who wanted off the Isle.

As she continued to make her way through the Isle, Belle couldn't help but hear voices around a nearby corner. Her heart leapt to her throat, she wasn't skilled with a sword like Mulan or even a frying pan like Rapunzel. She truly feared for her life and so quickly ducked into Hades' restaurant. Glancing back onto the streets, Belle checked to see exactly who it was who was coming and, more importantly, if they had seen her.

"My sister is stronger than that. If it's true, dad'll help her."

"I know Mal and what her powers had been four months ago. I don't know how to explain it to you Hadie," Uma's voice stated. "When I was helping her, I could feel her powers against mine. They were growing."

"But she won't hurt anyone," Hadie said, stopping in front of his father's restaurant. "This is my sister we're talking about Uma."

"I know but you heard that reporter, Mal's behind all of this," Uma said, looking at Hadie. "Look, I'm still going to help Mal. We're friends again and friends stick together. Plus she didn't kill me for the whole putting Ben under a love spell thing and ruining her cotillion so I guess I owe her for that."

"You're family too," Hadie pointed out.

Uma smiled slightly before sighing. "Look, let's just see if Steph's in the shop. She might be able to help," the daughter of Ursula stated as they walked into the restaurant before pausing as they saw the former Queen trying to hide behind one of the shelves, holding some goods.

"Uh Belle? Why are you hiding?"

Belle walked out of her hiding spot, setting the goods back on the shelf as she relaxed; seeing that it was Uma. "I..I was just trying to be safe. I have no idea where Adam is or if he's even on the Isle and I'm not the most skilled with a sword…"

"Don't worry, you're with us now," Hadie told her as he walked up to the counter. Belle gave the younger boy a small smile before looking over at Uma.

"Uma, I couldn't help but overhear what you two were discussing. Is…is it true?"

"Yes Belle, it's true," Uma sighed. "Look, I know Mal. We grew up together, just because we were enemies for a time doesn't change that fact. This is her powers taking over."

"But why now? Why on her wedding day?"

"Fear, possibly," Uma shrugged. "The barrier may be back up but I can still feel my powers. Though that might just be due to the four months I had access to them. Anyway, it's why we're here. We're trying to find Persephone, maybe together we can break through this barrier."

Belle nodded, that sounded like a solid plan.

"Uma…I'm sorry," she said softly as she looked down.

Uma looked at the former Queen in shock. "Why?"

"Being here, seeing the Isle…I can't help but feel like this is all my fault," Belle said, her voice soft. "I should have listened to you when you were talking about how the place looked."

"No hard feelings Belle. I understand. It's in the past," Uma told her. Before Belle could say anything, she could hear someone calling her name.

"Belle, what on Earth are you doing here?" Persephone asked as she came out of the kitchens, Hadie having gotten her.

"Mal spelled us to be banished back to the Isle. I'm guessing that spell included everyone but I haven't seen Adam and I…I haven't seen Ben," Belle told her, biting her lip in worry as she looked at the other three.

Persephone frowned slightly. If she was honest, she hadn't even noticed that everyone had returned to the Isle, she had been so busy making the preparations for the wedding tonight. But now that Belle had told her, Persephone noticed a distinct lack of sunlight."What's going on?"

"We think Mal's in trouble," Hadie told her.

"Everyone's being sent here and there's this purple-bluish smoke that's covering all of Auradon," Uma explained.

"Has there been any sign of Hades?" Persephone asked.

Why didn't he come and warn me? Unless…unless he's somehow still in Auradon with Mal? After all, Mal did give Hades a second chance.

"He's in Auradon," Uma said. "Hadie and I heard a reporter on TV, he said that Uncle Hades and Ben are busy with Grandfather in looking for Mal before anything else happens. So far, she's made it rain fire and caused a snowstorm."

"I see. Well at least he used his head for a change and enlisted Poseidon," Persephone sighed. "What's your plan Uma?"

"We can barely use our powers so the two of us aren't strong enough. I was thinking that if another God, like say you, were to help me and Hadie, we could break the barrier before everything is destroyed."

"I'm sorry, destroyed?" Belle asked, looking over at Uma in shock.

Uma sighed. "The northern side of the Isle is sinking into the sea. I don't know if that's part of Mal's spell but if I can get out of here, I can save the Isle with my powers."

"And I can help get the Isle back above sea level before everyone drowns," Hadie nodded.

"Alright then, let's go," Persephone sighed before turning to Belle. "It might be better if you stayed here. No one dares to come in here, they're too scared of what Hades might do to them if they do."

Belle could only nod as she looked around the restaurant.

Persephone was the only one who did anything for the Isle, she thought. Gods, when I think about all the things Persephone had packed when she returned to the Isle after the barrier was removed. How she requested more foods that weren't commonly found, like fresh milk and meat.

"No," Belle said softly, the three Isle dwellers pausing in their tracks.

"What's wrong?" Persephone asked, looking at Belle in surprise.

"I'm coming with you. It's bad enough I did nothing for these people for the last twenty years, I'm not going to sit by while their home sinks into the sea," Belle stated.

"Belle, it's dangerous out there," Persephone told her as she walked up to the former Queen, gently resting a hand on her arm. "We at least have our powers and you're not exactly the most popular person here right now."

"I can at least be a lookout. Make sure no one sneaks up on you," Belle stated. "Please, Persephone. I just want to help."

Persephone opened her mouth but then closed it as she realized that Belle did have a point. There were still people on the Isle who hated them, hated Hades, and would do anything to make sure he suffered.

"…okay," Persephone said softly. She wasn't sure what Belle could do against villains but at least she'd be with them and not on her own on the Isle. The four of them headed out, making their way toward the bridge to try to see if their combined power would be enough to free them…and allow them to help Mal before it was too late.
