Hello everyone! This chapter marks the start of D2! It's more of a prologue I guess...Maybe an Interlude? Gah! I don't know, it's a chapter though so that counts. I don't want it interfering with anything else, though, so I'm uploading it like this. I'm uploading another chapter with this, no way am I gonna rip you guys off, haha!
SailorSedna052 : I'm so glad you liked it! I'm hoping to release quite a few more chapters for D2 before my college classes start as I will begin to put this on the back burner.
I'm also looking for some feedback on a few things. Would you like to see some scenes where Heidi sings?
Would you like to see a lot or a little of Audrey/Heidi?
Do you want to see any other OCs I mentioned previously?
Please, please, please, respond to those. Yes or no will work if you don't want to comment anything.
If you want to see anything else I didn't mention, go ahead and drop a comment.
Sorry if I seem pushy, I just find begging works best.
I don't own Descendants or the song, only Heidi.
There is only darkness down here. There is nothing but screams of the departed. There is nobody down here for me. But you get used to it. You have to get used to it and I did. I can't remember how long it's been. I know it's been long enough for the colors to fade…
Heidi opened her eyes, looking out at her father's world. Though, it seemed to be hers now. She gazed at her pale grey hand, the color having bled away long ago.
How long has it been?
Her work had not been for nothing, however, as the Underworld was now functioning properly. Despite the fact that she had no power over the dead, she worked together with the Fates and her father's demons to fix everything.
The demons were surprisingly useful, unlike Pain and Panic, and proved helpful in her task. The Fates, having been assistants to her father, naturally knew what to do...they just couldn't keep it under control.
Could she return now? Would they allow her? Nobody had talked to her since that fateful day...Not even Athena.
It was sad. She felt as though they simply threw her away and forgot about her.
I guess that's what happens to all who go to the Underworld.
Is this what her father felt? Is this why he was so angry against Zeus?
I can understand why he rose against them.
She had so many questions, yet there was no one to answer them.
Heidi sighed, tying her waist length hair up into a ponytail as a three-headed puppy appeared in her lap, "Oh, Kirby, you are but a puppy yet you have more joy than all of the Underworld combined." She said softly, petting the happy puppy.
She folded one knee over the other, "Someday I would like you to see the world above."
She propped her head up on the throne's armrest, "I would like the both of us to see it." She closed her eyes in thought.
That is when I realized...I don't want to wait for them to release me. They many never do that and I want to leave. I want to be with everyone I know and love. I want to fulfill the promise I said long ago. This is not the life I want to live. I want to see them all again. I want my life back. I want to go home.
Her eyes opened as she pet Kirby.
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
She jumped out of her seat, holding her hand to her chest.
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (in too deep)
And it's been many years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe
Yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
She stomped her feet, summoning fire around her as she looked at her glowing hand, the power reminding her of that event so long ago.
This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
Starting right now I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
This is my fight song (Hey!)
Take back my life song (Hey!)
Prove I'm alright song (Hey!)
My power's turned on
The white aura surrounded her, growing more and more in brightness until the once dark Underworld was lit up in its glory.
Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
No I've still got a lot of fight left in me
The aura disappeared, returning the world to darkness as Heidi looked down at the puppy.
"Kirby, we are going to see it." She looked up, keeping a tight hold on the puppy, "This may be where I was born, but up there is home...and it's time to find my way home. I made a promise long ago, and I will keep it."
The puppy barked in excitement, "I'm glad you are excited as well." Heidi said with a small smile.
Together they climbed the stairs to the top, the light becoming brighter and brighter with each heavy footstep. She heard voices calling for her to come back, but she ignored them.
This was her father's domain, not hers. She would not have to spend eternity down here when she already fixed it.
Color slowly started coming back, the monochrome fleeing from her vision as she reached the top. Pulling out her ember, she held it up to the sealed exit, "It is fixed." She whispered, the words causing the door to open with a great rumble as the earth shook around them.
Taking those last final steps, she was now in a forest and it was night time.
In Auradon.
Heidi let out a laugh, "Kirby, I can't believe it...I'm here. I'm back." Relief was heavy in her voice as she hugged the puppy and twirled around. "I can't believe it…"
The exit closed as the earth rumbled and shook once more. This only confirmed the goddess' words, and seemed to be a sign of hope that she might not have to go back.
She walked through the forest until she reached an outlook, that's when she saw it. Auradon Prep. "Have you ever seen something so beautiful? I almost forgot what it looked like…"
The puppy jumped out of her arms and ran around her, causing her to laugh, "Aw, you like it too?"
The sadness, fear, and unhappiness all faded away as she looked at the school.
I have missed this. She thought, closing her eyes as tears of happiness fell, I have missed this so much.
She wiped away the tears, I can't wait to see you all.
"Welcome to Auradon, Kirby. This is not only my home, it's yours now. We won't ever go back, that place of death and sadness is not for us." She stated, picking up the hyper puppy and hugged it, "This place is full of light and happiness, and I believe we both want that right now. Right?" The puppy barked, prompting a small laugh from his owner, "I knew you'd agree." She looked up at the moon, "Everyone is probably asleep right now, we must wait till morning."
Heidi sat down, crossing her legs as Kirby hopped into her lap, "Good boy."
This is a new beginning, we have overcome the trial and this is our reward.
She couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face, "This is why I didn't say goodbye."
Because goodbyes are forever and I was not gone forever.
