Hey guys! Thanks for all the support, this story now has over 1,000 views! This story has not been up for more than a week and somehow it has gained more views faster than any of my other stories.

In this chapter we see some more character interaction and development.

I don't own Descendants, I never will, and I try not to think about that fact. Heidi and any other OCs are all mine though.


The VKs were out of class and the two boys were off on the Tourney Field while the Mal and Evie went to their lockers. Heidi was busy strumming her guitar as she sat at a table in the open area.

The goddess seemed oblivious as several students were watching her from afar.

"That's the daughter of Hades?"

"I thought she would be more...fiery."

"Look at the way she dresses…"

In reality Heidi was completely aware of this and could hear everything that they were talking about. The subject was not new to her as many on the Isle would make the same comments, only they usually mentioned how she was gonna blow up at any second.

Ah, the joy of being the daughter of a god who is only remembered to be sarcastic and have horrible tantrums.

Heidi closed her eyes as her fingers passed out every individual string, before she began playing a tune.

When she opened her eyes, more time must have passed than she thought due to the fact that she saw Audrey and a guy walk out of a classroom.

...Did I have a class?

Heidi had never attended school in her life and self-taught herself how to read, write, and do basic math. This meant she had a hard time remembering if she had class or not.

Maybe I can talk with Ben, he could probably help me out.

She sat up, swinging her guitar onto her back as she saw Ben approach Audrey and the guy she didn't know.

The guy must have said something she missed as Ben frowned at the guy, "Come on, Chad. Give them a chance."

Chad. That sounds like an annoying name for an annoying guy. Just thinking the name is annoying. Chaaaad. Oh, that's even worse. Heidi smacked the side of her head, Focus!

"Oh. No offense, Bennybear, but you're just too trusting. Look, I know your mom fell in love with a big nasty beast who turned out to be a prince. But with my mom, the evil fairy was just the evil fairy. That girl's mother." Audrey said, glancing at Mal who was at her locker.

"I think you're wrong about them. I'll see you later." Ben said as Audrey and Chad left. He noticed Mal looking his way and smiled, "Hey!"

"Hey." Mal greeted him back, putting things away in her locker and grabbing other things out.

"How was your first day?" He asked, prompting her look at him as she closed her locker.

"Super." She replied, not sounding excited whatsoever.

Ben saw that she had tagged her locker with a design of her mother in the background with the words, "Long live evil" in front. "You should really think about taking this talent off the locker and into art class. I could, uh, sign you up. What do you think?"

She chuckled, "Way to take all the fun out of it."

She walked away after that and Ben rubbed his chin in thought before he looked at the pavilion where Heidi was at.

He walked over to where she was and sat down on the bench, "Hey, Heidi."

Heidi, who had put her sunglasses on at some point of time, wiggled her fingers in greeting, "Hey."

"So, how's your first day treating you?"

She pushed her sunglasses down so her bright blue eyes could meet his, "Honestly? I am pretty sure I missed a couple classes and I think I was late to all but one I attended. I have no sense of time and I've never been to a class before today. Dad thought it wasn't necessary since I taught myself how to read, write, count, and basically everything you need to know."

He immediately frowned, "Why didn't you tell anyone?" He asked her gently, making sure she didn't get upset by his words.

Heidi sighed, lacing her fingers together, "Didn't think it'd be a problem and well…" She paused, taking her sunglasses off and pursing her lips, "...I didn't want to admit it."

He chuckled and smiled at her, "It's okay, Heidi. Don't worry about it, there's a few students here that have a hard time adjusting. Audrey told you about her old roommate, didn't she?"

"Queen Elsa's daughter, Winter, right?" Heidi looked at him in curiosity.

"Yep. Winter wasn't here for long, but we arranged for her classes to be online so that she could still attend class without the risk of having a panic attack." Ben explained, causing the goddess to nod in understanding.

"Was she able to do the whole 'ice thing' her mother could do that was based on emotions?" She asked, looking quite interested now, "I've read up on many explanations for Queen Elsa's powers, as a goddess I am very curious, and I was always curious if the powers transferred through birth."

Ben laughed at her enthusiasm on the subject, "Yes, Winter is able to use the same magic her mother uses. New situations can cause her powers to go out of control and you can probably guess why we allowed her to do online classes."

"Frozen Auradon Prep?" She said with a cheeky smile.

"A bit of an understatement if what Queen Elsa said is true." He joked, causing Heidi to laugh as he smiled, "Anyway, I'll talk to Fairy Godmother, maybe we can do the same thing we did for Winter for you."

"Thanks, Ben."

"It's not a problem, Heidi." He stood up and began walking away when Heidi stood up abruptly.

"Is there any other kids here like me?"

Her question appeared to stump him until his eyes widened in realization, "Oh, right! Hercules' son Herkie currently attends, Maui's twins Makatala and Mataio join in about a month or two and usually stay for summer classes, and I think I remember hearing that one of the gods were sending their kid here."

"Which one?" She went rigid at the thought of one of the more annoying gods.

"Apollo?" His eyes revealed the slight nervousness that he was trying to hide, "Did I said the name right?"

Heidi chuckled, "Yep." Calming down when she heard that it was only Apollo.

"That's good, when I become king I'll have to meet with them, eventually." Ben said with a laugh.

Heidi shrugged, "If you need someone to break the ice you can invite me. I know almost all of the gods, save a few who never show up for anything."

"Thank you, if I ever have to talk with them I'll be sure to find you. See you later!" Ben said as he walked away.

"See ya." Heidi smiled in amusement, If I show up with him does that mean I'm an Ambassador? She blinked as a thought came to her, Wait...I've always been the Ambassador/Representative/Lady of the Underworld.

The goddess shrugged again, smiling as she began walking towards the dorms, completely unaware she still had one class left in the day.


Mal and Co. were in Mal and Evie's dorm room for an 'emergency' meeting.

Mal stood in front of Jay, Evie, and Carlos as she folded her arms, "What was that today in class?"

Evie didn't even look up from her mirror as she knew that Mal was talking to the boys. "What was what?" Jay asked, seeming oblivious to Mal's anger.

"What was the whole, "I don't want to see if you'll actually go on fire" crap? What was that?" She asked, looking at him with a glare.

"You haven't seen it?" At the shake of three heads, he frowned, "She can turn herself into a walking, talking, humanoid fire-thing!" Jay said, looking scared at what he was saying, "I've seen her do it and Hades? Hades encouraged her!"

"Yeah, well, she looks perfectly normal now and not a humanoid fire-thing." Mal stated, "Hades encouraged her because he knows that she can use her powers and could probably take down the barrier. Get your head in the game."

Jay looked away as Carlos gave her a curious look, "If she can take down the barrier, why don't we just have her do it? If we just-"

"Because she wouldn't, that's her thing, she knows she can do certain things but she'd rather not do them and instead play her own little game. We can't just ask her, Carlos." Mal said, shutting down his ideas already.

"Oh."

Mal turned away as she glared darkly out the window, "I have a plan, and Heidi is not apart of it." She whipped around, "Jay, stop acting like a trained lap dog when she looks and talks to you. Carlos don't talk to her at all. She is simply playing around and trying to distract us."

Carlos frowned but stayed silent, knowing well that he'd probably get in trouble. What's her deal with Heidi?

"Do you guys understand?" Mal asked, staring at them as Jay nodded right away, Carlos hesitated, however. "Carlos?"

He didn't look at her as he nodded reluctantly, unable to meet her gaze.

...Sorry Mal, but I have to ask her something.

"Good." Mal stated, not appearing to notice the guilt in Carlos's eyes.


Heidi was walking back to her dorm as she whistled a tune. She had been out on a walk to clear her head and read a few books she had picked up, she got the strangest looks when she did so. She was told they were kinda...advanced.

Meh. Advanced was her favorite.

She was a philosophy buff after all.

The goddess was brought out of her thoughts as someone bumped into her.

It was Carlos.

He practically threw the book on the ground, almost as if it was on purpose. "S-Sorry."

"No, it's okay." Heidi quickly knelt down to pick up his book, "I suppose I spaced out and didn't see you there."

Carlos nervously looked both ways, "I...I need to ask you something."

Heidi stood up, eyebrows furrowed as her eyes shone in concern, "Are you in danger?" She quickly did a turn, "Is someone watching you?"

"No!" He exclaimed before calming down, "N-No, I'm not in any danger, I just have to ask you something."

"What is it?" She asked, handing him his book that she had unintentionally been holding on to.

He took the book and glanced around once more before looking at her, "Not where everyone can see us."

Heidi still looked concerned but nodded, "Let me text my roommate." She pulled out her phone, they had all been given one complimentary of the school in the Safety Rules for the Internet class. "Huh, she's quick at responding. She says I'm free to invite you over, she's out with Ben so we probably have an hour or so."

"That's more than enough."


Heidi sat cross-legged on her bed while Carlos chose to stand.

"You never mentioned that Audrey was your roommate." He said, looking around the room with an eyebrow raised.

"I don't talk to you guys much, not after Mal gave me that death glare of hers." Heidi responded, before shrugging, "Besides, Audrey's been really nice to me, I don't see why Mal was getting irritated."

"We're talking about the same Audrey, right?" Carlos asked, looking at her like she had two heads.

"The very same. If you give others their space and treat them with respect, they'll warm up to you eventually." Heidi said with a smile.

"...I am finding it hard to believe that you are Hades' daughter."

Heidi laughed as her smile widened, "Hades didn't exactly raise me until we were both brought to the Isle. He spent the first ten years of my life swimming in the River Styx and the only thing he ever said was, "Don't mess her up you two!" He was referring to Pain and Panic, his minions, and they decided that the best thing to do was take notes on how to raise a kid. All the parents they spied on were good and taught their children kindness and manners. They believed this was the 'proper' way to raise a child and followed the actions of the parents, even if it weirded them out."

"...Wow, no wonder you're so nice." Carlos said with a small smile that Heidi returned.

The goddess patted her bed, "Come, sit." He did so and she gazed at him, "What did you want to ask me?"

His eyes widened in realization, "Oh right." He looked down before looking at her, "Do you know why Mal hates you?"

Heidi sighed as she frowned, "I do." At his expectant look she shook her head, "She wants something I have that she knows she can't have and she hates me for it. I...It isn't my place to tell you, Carlos."

"Oh…" He said, looking away from her, "Also...Mal told me and Jay not to talk with you. She's angry, very angry at what happened in class today."

Heidi fell back on the bed, covering her eyes with her hand as she let out a tired sigh, "She thinks that I am trying to steal you from her, that I'm trying to ruin her plan. I don't have any desire to assist in the quest Maleficent gave her, I'm here for my own journey."

This caused Carlos to go silent as he thought her words over. I wonder… He thought, the thing Mal said earlier coming to mind.

"Hey." He began, causing her to slowly sit up, "Mal said you could take down the barrier, is that true?"

Heidi smirked, "Maybe, maybe not. Even if I could...I wouldn't."

"Why? Don't you want it down?" He asked, looking quite surprised at her words.

"Dad and I are in it for the long run, we wait for the day that the white bridge will appear once more and we are welcomed back." She stated softly, "Not with the terror of devastation or the fear of damnation, no, we want our return to be one of elation."

It was at this moment Carlos knew. He knew he was in the presence of someone much more regal than a VK. He knew he was in the presence of a goddess.

"Sorry, philosophy nerd." She joked before looking at the clock, "You should get going before Mal suspects something is wrong." Heidi said, getting up and heading to the door, "Give me your phone."

He shook his head, snapping out of the daze she had put him in, "Sure…" He mumbled, getting up and handing her his phone.

She quickly typed something in before handing it back, "Text me if you need anything. You shouldn't have to abide by Mal's rules of staying away if you don't want to."

He accepted the phone and saw she had entered her number, "Thanks Heidi."

She smiled at him as she opened the door, "Anytime, Carlos."

Once she closed the door she sank down to the floor, "This does not bode well."


I don't know if I'll be bringing in any of the OCs I briefly mentioned in this chapter as I don't know if anyone wants to see them. I'll probably keep referencing them in future chapters.
