Chapter 6: Part of their World II
During lunch it was clear that the new groups were already consolidated.
Dizzy,Hermie,Jace,Harry and Rick were with the Rotten Four, King Ben and their surprisingly had befriended Lonnie Li during math class so she moved to that table.
Eddie Balthazar and Big Murph were with the son of Mowgli and the children of Tarzan. From the outside it was a strange new friendship.
Anthony,Hal,Claudine, Harriet, Diego and Hadie were sat together.
Melinoe and Henry were together in a table near the corner. Hadie wanted to pretend that he wasn't having a bad feeling about that.
"Have you talked to ?" Harriet asked to Claudine. Her friend just blushed and it was Anthony who answered "No, even if they shared the three classes of the morning"
"How do you know that?" Harriet asked.
"I was in the other two classes after History" Anthony said. "It was interesting to watch how they looked each other trying not to be noticed"
"A bad soap opera" Hal commented.
"Or the classic teenage love story" Anthony added.
Hadie just smiled and decided to remain silent; he had other things to think about at this moment.
Claudine blushed more at every comment, she finally said looking to Anthony: "You were looking to someone too this morning"
Everyone looked at the bronze haired boy; it seemed that it was his turn to blush. He was trying to defend himself: "She has white hair and sapphire eyes! I was curious!"
Then all talked at the same time"
"I have white hair too and you never seemed to think that it was worth your curiousness" Diego said trying to sound innocent "My cousin, my aunt and my father have white hair too"
"Sapphire eyes?" Harriet asked disbelievingly. "You looked at her so
"It seems that everyone is feeling "the spark of true love"" Hal said.
"You always get the girls"Hadie complained.
Anthony changed the course of the conversation when he said: "Your sister seems so comfortable with Plantagenet"
Hadie rolled his eyes and said: "They are…just talking"
"Hope she is not going to do something stupid" He was thinking in grimace. Then he remembered that she was Hades' daughter.
And it was true; Melinoe and Henry were talking about how to steal the wand of the Fairy Godmother, Excalibur and many other magical objects.
"If we steal the wand we could free the Titans" Henry said trying to convince Melinoe to be allies, but she didn't seem convinced.
"Yes, but…" She said biting her lip.
"What?" He asked.
"What do you gain?" Melinoe said looking to his eyes.
"I want riches, a kingdom and perhaps…"He stopped his track, he wasn't going to tell her the rest. He wanted and ally but he had to be careful. Also he knew that she truly wanted to please her father as much as he wanted to be rich, but the goddess wasn't stupid and he had to be careful if he didn't want to be made barbeque (that if she had the same powers as her father).
Melinoe looked to her hands. Since they arrived to Auradon, she had been feeling something stirring inside of her and she was almost sure that it was some kind of power. She would have to discover it, but for now her first concern was how to achieve her goal. Hades' plan had a big error and the only way to correct it was to steal the wand.
So she said: "I'm going to think about it, Plantagenet" Then she left to her room thinking: "First I have to be sure of something"
Henry smiled; he was almost sure about their alliance.
Auradon was like Dizzy had imagined,ok no, almost like she had imagined. It was the land of opportunities yes, but it wasn't perfect. If it was Chad would be the cousin she yearned for, instead he was a blonde haired version of Anthony or worse.
However the rest of the people were nice. She wasn't going to class in Auradon Prep like the rest, due to her age she was at Auradon Elementary*. She made fast friends with Moira Darling,Damien Pelakai and Prince Jacob & Princess Sophie of Enchancia; she may sit with them at lunch but for now she wanted to enjoy her time with Evie and her friends.
Unlike the teenagers, the youngest generation was more accepting to her.
She didn't miss her family in the slightest. Her grandmother, mother and sisters were horrible to her. Her cousins Allana and Anya were just…boring. However she missed her aunt Anastasia, the only person in the Tremaine Family that had been always nice to her; it would be great to take her out of the Isle but it couldn't be or maybe not, he would try to talk about it with Evie. The next time she could.
Rick Ratcliffe was tracing his path towards power, or at least trying to. He was trying to become friends with King Ben and other princes who had the chance to inherit the throne. He had to admit that despite having to delay his goal he was having a good time in Auradon and he would not let Henry Plantagenet to ruin it. Of course her knew that the son of John Lackland* was up to something, he had yet to discover what but the fact that Henry was talking to the daughter of Hades when he had never noticed her before was something he couldn't let pass.
Still there was the possibility of joining Henry, but it was too risky.
For now he would have to wait and observe the rest.
While he was waiting for the Science Teacher to arrive,he was mussing things to himself when someone interrupted his thoughts with a small cough. He raised an eyebrow to the person who dared to claim his attention. The person was a girl with reddish brown hair and blue eyes.
"Hi" He managed to say.
"Hello…I'm Ronnie Locksley-Fitzwalter" She said with a sheepish grin and then added "The daughter of Robin Hood"
"Oh..."He said "I'm Rick Ratcliffe, son of Governor Ratcliffe"
"I just wanted to invite you to a small party we are hosting at Sherwood at weekend…I know that you have to spend time with Pocahontas but I think she would let you come"She said biting her lip.
"I don't know…"Rick doubted, he didn't know how Pocahontas would treat him but said" Still thanks for the invitation"
Ronnie just smiled and left just when the Science Teacher entered to the room.
The only class that all the new Villain Kids shared was Remedial Goodness. In Harriet's opinion it was silliness and slightly insulting but she kept her own thought to herself, the others did the same if they shared her opinion. Fairy Godmother was already waiting for them when they arrived.
She decided to sit with Anthony who looked strangely at her. The pirate just shrugged.
The next hour was questions related to their parents exploits like:
-If someone hands you a basket of kittens you: A-Give them milk B- Try to drown them C-Abandon them in the forest?
-If you find a vial of potion you: A-Put it in a drink B-Hand to the authorities C-Keep it?
-You find a fairy: A-You force it to give you pixie dust B-You treat it kindly C- None of the above?
-You want riches, you: A-Steal them B-Make fraud C-Work?
"This is silly" Anthony whispered to Harriet.
"I know" She whispered back.
Most of the them did well but Henry had some problems with the questions that involved riches and fair work, Yzla didn't see anything wrong with putting potions in someone's drink and Jace thought that real fur clotting wasn't bad.
The days passed and on Friday's noon King Ben was reunited with some of the council: Charming, Aurora, Mulan, Snow White, Captain Phoebus de Chateaupers, Aladdin, Hercules, Pocahontas and Robin Hood. Also his parents were present as well as King Arthur of Camelot and Queen Nancy of Andalasia.
"How are they behaving?" Was the unspoken question and the main reason of why they were reunited.
"First I want to say that this is the first time I summon a meeting in less than a week" Ben started to say "But the worries of some of the people were too…big so I decided to summon you to inform about their first week at Auradon. Most of them have adapted well to the school and all of them have behaved quite nicely. Still some of the students have noticed some signs of mistreatment and neglect on them" He waited for their reaction. "I need you to inform me about anything strange about them since some of you have to spend the weekends with them"
There was a silence, and then it was broken by Aladdin: "You didn't notice anything strange or signs of abuse on the first four?" His voice sounded concerned.
Ben had to admit that they all neglected it when they arrived; he was just focused on show the Auradonians,that the children were not guilty of their parent's crimes. When he started to think about the situation of the Isle, mainly when Evie and Mal told about Lady Tremaine's treatment towards Dizzy, he felt the urge to ship all of them off the Isle. Also there was a thing or two that made him bring the first four but he would not tell…yet.
So he said with guilt: "When they arrived I failed to notice those signs…" Then he said "I know that most of them have been malnourished, beaten and neglected all their lives. Most of the parents don't care about their children and those who are least care are not really suited for parenthood"
"Have they told you about the Isle?" Mulan asked.
"A little" He admitted, it was difficult for both sides to talk about it" Mal has talked about how her mother almost never fed her, Jay mentioned that he had to sleep under the television stand and he was lucky not to be crushed by them, Carlos is totally scared of Cruella and Evie was "well-cared" by Evil Queen if we compare her upbringing to the rest but still her mother controlled every step she made" Ben explained "I haven't really talked to the rest about the Isle, but Evie mentioned that Dizzy was treated much like Cinderella and Claudine was raised almost like Quasimodo"
All of the members of the council were in deep thoughts.
Ben perhaps would tell some things to the rest, but he needed the Great Council to be there.
Former King Adam looked at his son with a expressionless face. Former Queen Belle looked a little worried.
That's this week's chapter.

Thanks to all who have reviewed, followed and favorited this story it means a lot to me.
Question: What do you think that will happen during the new VK's weekend with their parents'enemies?
*Auradon Elementary: Let's pretend that it is part of Auradon Academy, Auradon Prep(were most of the main characters in this story go) is part of it too. They have classes at different buildings but share Dinner Hall and dorms (just because).
*John Lackland: It is one if the names used for John I of England.
