I think I have finally come up with a pairing for Heidi. I will not announce the pairing till later as I want to keep it a surprise, you can always guess who it is, though.
Short chapter today because I split this one in half, the other half will be chapter 7.
I don't own Descendants and I never will. I only own Heidi and any OCs.
It was at this point in our tale that I realized our story truly began. Everything before this point was not the beginning. Now...Now is the true start to our story.
Heidi sat up on her bed, countless pillows propping her up into a sitting position as she typed on her computer.
Ben had come through and managed to get her the same deal Winter had gotten, not to mention he gave her a computer, for free.
His kindness was something she would never get used to.
She heard her phone 'ding' and set her computer down at the foot of her bed, "Hmm…"
'So, turns out dogs are amazing creatures and not rabid pack animals…'
She could tell who the text was from the second she saw the word 'rabid'.
'Yeah? How'd you find that out?'
Heidi shifted her position and sat cross-legged as she closed the computer, turning her focus to her phone as she heard the door to the dorm open and close.
"Hey Heidi-wait," Audrey paused, taking two steps back to look at her, "What are you doing in here?" She asked, looking quite confused at the sight of the goddess sitting in their dorm room in the middle of the day.
"Ben hooked me up with online classes since I missed all but one on my first day. In exchange, I'm his go to know-it-all on all things god related and he's discussing with his parents about hiring me as his official guard if he ever needs to go up to Olympus when he's king." Heidi explained, a cheeky smile on her face, "Apparently, as the daughter of one of the big three I am quite threatening."
Audrey went to her mirror as she began retouching her makeup, "Big three?"
"Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. I personally call them the big three because they each have dominion over something. For Zeus it's the sky, Poseidon the sea, and Hades the Underworld." The goddess said as she checked her phone, hearing the 'ding' in the middle of her explanation.
Her smile widened as she saw the picture of Carlos taking a selfie with a mutt.
'This is Dude and apparently he's the school's mascot. Ben introduced me while we were working on my sprints and...I guess you could say he helped me get over my irrational fear of dogs.'
Heidi chuckled softly as she began texting him back.
'Ben has a gift alright.'
Audrey, who had finished retouching her makeup, picked up her cheerleading outfit, she must have forgotten to put one in her locker, and was beginning to leave when she thought of something, "Are you always going to be here?"
"I'll be here doing my work and when I'm done, eh, I'll probably be out exploring and reading. It's my favorite kind of past time and my secret to staying calm." She said before laughing, "If you need me out just tell me and I'll do my work extra fast that day."
Audrey mumbled an 'Oh' and something that sounded like a 'thanks' before leaving the dorm room, finding she didn't have much to say and much time to care.
'You should probably know what Mal is planning to do soon. I know she has something planned for Fairy Godmother's daughter, Jane, since she mentioned at lunch how Jane was so easy to fool.'
Carlos had turned from stranger to both an informant and a friend. Despite Heidi telling him that it was okay if she was kept in the dark, he insisted that she should know what was going on. The thing that made her reluctantly say yes was when he told her he didn't want Mal's plan to...well, go to plan.
Apparently, he liked Auradon and the last thing he wanted right now (He did want her out in the future) was his mother being free, meaning he didn't want Mal's plan to be successful. In his own words, he "Believed that Heidi was the only one who could stop the plan and step up to Mal."
While his words touched her, he was basically putting his trust in her to stop what could be a cataclysmic event, it shocked her to her very core. She was just one person, who happened to be a goddess-but thats besides the point, she couldn't get all of the villains back in if they got out.
Well, she'd have both her dad and Fairy Godmother, but she had no idea what her dad would do if the barrier dropped.
He was unpredictable.
'Poor girl...Mal's probably gonna try to get close to her somehow and use her to get the wand.' Heidi texted back, grabbing her computer and opening it back up, 'I have to get back to work, text me back in an hour or two. Okay?'
'Okay.'
She shut off her phone and put it in one of her jacket's pockets, "It's just me and you, algebra."
With Mal and Evie
Mal and Evie were in their dorm room with Fairy Godmother's daughter Jane.
"Mom said, "If a boy can't see the beauty within", then he's not worth it." Jane asked, leaning on one of Mal's bedposts before turning around and walking to the other side of the room. "Can you believe it? What world does she live in?"
Mal chuckled as she continued drawing, "Auradon."
Evie stopped sewing, "Mal," She held up the garment she was working on, "You like?"
Mal glanced up, "Yeah. It's cute. It brings out your eyes."
Evie smiled, "I know."
Jane turned around, "Everybody I know could get a boyfriend, Audrey has Ben, you guys look great, and I'm pretty sure half of the boys here have a crush on Heidi!" She complained, "Me? I'll be single forever."
Mal ignored everything except the part on Heidi, "Oh, you've met her?" She asked as she closed her sketchbook while she tried to stay calm.
"Not yet, but Audrey says that Heidi is her roommate and she once saw Heidi walking back to the dorm." Jane explained before pausing and frowning, "...Everyone around her was staring. Not looking, staring!"
"Heard you the first time." Mal said.
Evie stopped sewing to look at Jane, "Heidi always did that back on the Isle."
"She got all the ladies and the guys." Mal said, sitting up on her bed, "None of them actually liked her though, she simply spelled them to like her."
"Spelled them?" Jane said in shock, looking confused beyond belief, "But, the barrier-"
Mal got up, "She got around it, hey…" She paused as a smile settled on her face, "Does your mother know about this?"
"I-I don't think so." Jane replied, shaking her head.
Mal feigned shock, "You need to tell her! The barrier might need to be fixed with her wand or the villains might be able to get out!"
"Oh my gosh, you're right! I need to go." Jane said quickly in realization before rushing out the door.
Another girl they didn't realize caught the door and walked in, "I wonder why Jane is in such a rush..." She said in mild confusion.
Mal chuckled innocently, "I'm sure it's nothing."
The girl smiled awkwardly before looking back at them, "So, I'm Lonnie." She got no reaction, "My mom's Mulan?" Still nothing. "No?" They both shook their heads as Evie got up to look for more fabric, "Anyways, I love what you've done with Jane's hair. And I know you hate us, and, well, you're evil. But do you think you could do mine?" She asked, her tone turned nervous as Mal chuckled.
"Why would I do that for you?" The purplette asked while folding her arms.
"I'll pay you 50 dollars." Lonnie pulled out the money, the words seeming to summon Evie as she took the money.
"Good answer. I need to buy more material." She walked in a circle around the girl, "Let's see, I'm thinking, we lose the bangs, maybe some layers and some highlights." She said, pursing her lips in thought.
"Yeah, yeah. I want it cool. Like Mal's." She smiled at Mal who raised an eyebrow.
Evie blinked, "The split ends, too?"
Mal rolled her eyes at the comment as she pulled her spellbook out, "Okay…" She flipped through the book before stopping and smiling, "Beware, forswear, replace the old with cool hair." She closed the book before waving her finger through the air, Lonnie's head going each direction before going down.
Mal slowly raised her finger, and Lonnie ran to the nearest mirror as a look of amazement appeared on her face.
Evie walked up behind her, "I know. I know. It looks like a mop on your head. You know what? Let's cut it off, layer it…" She said gently, almost as if she was trying not to insult her.
"No, no, no, no, no, no! I love it." Lonnie exclaimed, a large smile now on her face.
"You do?" Evie asked as she stared at Lonnie's hair.
"It's just…" She suddenly ripped her skirt, "Now I'm cool."
Mal smirked, "Like ice."
Lonnie quickly left after saying 'Thanks' and Mal closed the door.
"Hey M, what was that with Jane? I thought just hearing Heidi's name makes you sick." Evie asked, standing across from Mal.
"Still does." She cleared her throat, "If Jane tells Fairy Godmother that someone was able to use magic on the Isle, Fairy Godmother will get her wand. Not to mention I threw that certain someone under the bus." Mal smirked and Evie tilted her head.
"Heidi?" Mal rolled her eyes and sat on her bed, "Ooh, sorry."
With Heidi
After she had conquered math, Heidi decided to take a walk to her favorite reading spot with her favorite philosophy books.
Well, her walk had been peaceful until Fairy Godmother found her.
She looked...unhappy? That was possible?
"Fairy Godmother? Do you need something?" Heidi asked in confusion.
Please tell me I didn't do something horrible unintentionally again…
"I have heard that you were able to use your powers on the Isle, is that true?" She asked, looking at her sternly.
Who could have told her that? Doesn't matter, not gonna lie to her.
"Um, Yes?" Fairy Godmother's eyes widened and she began to turn around, "Hang on, hang on!" She raised her hands up, stopping Fairy Godmother, "I can explain this. I-When I was born my mother said that there was something wrong with me and she feared someone was after me. She managed to find the goddess Athena who took pity on me and gave me a necklace that negates all magic spells. I'm the only one who could use their powers, my father is powerless and there is no magic flying around over there."
Fairy Godmother looked stunned, "A necklace?" At Heidi's nod she looked at the white gem she hadn't noticed before, "Heidi, may I see that for a moment?"
Heidi raised an eyebrow, "Sure, I haven't taken it off since my birth, though..." She chuckled, "I have no idea on how to take it off."
After a minute or two of struggling with the necklace, she finally got it off and handed it to Fairy Godmother.
The woman looked it over in amazement, "Oh, my, this was indeed created by the gods." She handed the necklace back to the goddess, "Forgive me, it seems I made a mistake."
Heidi managed to get the necklace back on as she scratched her head sheepishly, "Don't worry about it, Fairy Godmother. Put it in the past and once it is in the past it has no power over the present." She said with a smile.
"Very true." Fairy Godmother said happily, nodding as she began walking away.
Heidi waved at her as she left, not noticing the quickly approaching form of Carlos.
"Heidi!"
She blinked and turned around, "Carlos? What are you-"
"Mal just texted us all to meet up." Carlos said, slightly out of breath as Dude sat at his feet.
"And by us you mean you four, what do you want me doing?" Heidi folded her arms, raising an eyebrow in question.
"Do you have a way of spying on people?"
