SailorSedna052 : Your review made me spring into wedding planning mode. Not even joking, I am already planning Mal and Ben's wedding, picking out wedding dresses for Mal and Audrey. GAH! I get way too excited with wedding planning, possibly why I aced an assignment that called for a fake wedding...Anyway, getting ahead of myself, I may just use that idea to an extent.
I hope nobody liked Chad, 'cuz I make him look horrible in this chapter. Like if this dude was standing in front of me I'd smack him silly. Then again, most people I know would smack him silly, the guy has little to no likeable qualities.
I don't own Descendants, only Heidi.
Heidi couldn't tell what shocked everyone more, the fact that she was back, or the fact that she was escorting Audrey around the school as they tried to find the idiotic Chad.
The two sat down at a table, well aware of the countless pairs of eyes staring at them.
"Hmph, where is that guy?" Heidi asked, scanning the growing crowd for the man.
Audrey was quite confused as well, "I'm not sure...usually he's pretty easy to find. Maybe I should text him to meet up here." She pulled her phone out of her purse and began typing.
"Good idea. In the meantime, we can enjoy the reactions we are receiving." Heidi said, propping her head up with one arm.
Audrey sent the text and put her phone away, "You're enjoying this?"
Heidi shrugged, "I find it kinda funny."
The princess rolled her eyes, "Remember, you were gone for six months. Some people thought you were dead, Heidi."
"Why would they think that? Goddess, duh." She pointed at herself as she looked at Audrey, "Oh, love the hair by the way. It's cute."
"Took you long enough to notice." Audrey said, folding her arms while Heidi chuckled.
"Sorry, being in the Underworld only made me more oblivious." She said jokingly, before taking Audrey's hands and holding them, "I did notice something, though."
Not the butterflies again! Audrey thought, "W-What's that?"
Something sparkled in Heidi's eyes, "You look even more beautiful than the last time I saw you."
Audrey practically melted at that, "Oh…"
Heidi suddenly looked elsewhere, "Oh, there he is."
Why does she keep doing that? Audrey thought, pouting a bit as she mentally begged herself to stop blushing.
Chad came running towards them, almost stumbling at the sight of the bluenette, "Audrey! Audrey!"
Heidi slowly looked at her, "Oh, he's even worse than I thought."
Audrey nodded, eyes wide as she watched Chad run over in a panic, "I don't know how I put up with him…"
"Audrey, h-how is she here? Is she here to kidnap you?!" Chad exclaimed, trying to move her away from the goddess.
The princess sighed, "Why would she try to kidnap me?"
"She was gone for six months, now she's back and she's suddenly best friends with you? Something doesn't seem right!" He said, running around so he could point at the goddess.
Both women shared a look, "Chad," Audrey began, standing up and walking towards him, "Heidi has been my friend, also, we're done."
Chad, the confused man he is, looked dumbfounded, "What do you mean?"
Audrey rubbed the bridge of her nose in exasperation as Heidi shook her head, "She's breaking up with you! Man you are an idiot."
"Hey!" He looked at her, offense clearly taken.
Audrey nodded, "It's true, you aren't exactly the brightest and that's one of the many reasons I'm breaking up with you." She walked back to Heidi's side, the goddess now standing up with a smirk, "Shall we?"
Heidi offered up her arm, "Lead the way, princess."
The two walked away, leaving a stunned Chad and an astonished crowd of students.
Audrey led Heidi to a quiet lounge, "It should be quiet here, the school labels it as a study zone during certain hours of the day."
The two sat down on a sofa, "So, what have I missed?" Heidi asked, folding her arms behind her neck and leaning back.
Audrey looked down at the floor as she fiddled with her bracelet, "Well, after the Coronation everyone started flocking to the VKs, they kept saying how brave they were…" She chuckled humorlessly, "They only had to fight off a dragon because they allowed it out."
"Mhm." Heidi hummed, signaling for her to go on.
"Jane and Lonnie all but abandoned me, that's why I started dating Chad." She paused as she felt Heidi sling an arm around her, "Chad was the only one who didn't leave. Sure he was annoying, but he didn't leave me. I wasn't lonely, I didn't feel much with him but I wasn't lonely."
"Come here…" Heidi said softly, patting her lap.
Audrey laid her head down on the older woman's lap, the feeling strange yet comforting as Heidi rubbed her back in a soothing motion.
This is so weird...So why does it feel so right?
Audrey banished the thought away as she closed her eyes, "I hated seeing Mal and Ben everywhere, always so in love with each other. It was salt in the wound, you know? And it wasn't just once or twice a day, no, it was all the time. I can't even turn on the TV anymore without seeing their faces, it's been driving me insane." She sighed, "It's all about Mal, I feel like nobody remembers me in this stupid school. I've been left behind…She pretty much ruined my life, stole my dreams, and stole my prince."
"Oh, Audrey…"
Audrey didn't stop, "Now she walks around with him all day and you can see the little hearts in their eyes! It's like she doesn't even care that she took everything from me! She says she is good, but that is clearly a villain move right there. She's doing the things we used to do, the things we were going to do, and he does the things I thought he only did for me. It's almost if she spelled him again!"
"Audrey-"
"Everyone around here has lost their minds! How can they believe that a villain would make a good queen? She isn't even a princess, she doesn't have the right skill, she isn't right for this. I was supposed to be queen-"
"AUDREY!"
Heidi's yell finally managed to get the princess's attention, causing her to sit up and look at the goddess in surprise.
The bluenette was frowning and had her eyes closed, "Why are you worried about all this?"
"Why? Heidi, she stole my future away, everything I worked for...gone. I'm a disappointment." Audrey said, looking away as Heidi chuckled.
The goddess turned the princess towards her, "Audrey, you are not a disappointment. If your family says you are then they are not your family. You are an amazing, wonderful, beautiful girl who can do whatever she wants, being queen may not be your destiny...but you can always make your own destiny."
A few tears escaped the princess's eyes, prompting Heidi to brush them away, "A princess shouldn't cry, nobody wants to see such signs of sadness on a pretty face." She said softly, smiling as she took Audrey's hands in her own, "Now, why don't we go do something? Get your mind off all this."
Audrey nodded as they stood up, "What do you have in mind?"
Something glittered in the goddess's eyes, almost like a sparkle of mischief, and she interlocked hands with the princess's own, "I'll take you out for ice cream. I haven't had any in six years and I'm craving it."
Audrey couldn't help the laugh the bubbled out, "Do you even have any money?"
Heidi raised an eyebrow, "I'll have you know I do. I've been making jewelry for six years and having the demons sell them. People pay quite a bit for magical jewelry." She said with a proud smile.
"Wait...did you say magical?"
Heidi blinked, tilting her head at the princess, "Yep, something wrong?"
"Did you give me magical jewelry?" She pointed at the necklace, "Is this magic?"
Heidi raised an eyebrow, "The necklace is, the rest...not so much. The necklace is enchanted with several protection wards, a location spell, and it was carefully crafted so I could sense your emotions. I, uh, was kind of in a dark place in my life when I created it, sorry if that's creepy and all." The goddess scratched the side of her head, looking at the floor.
It is kind of creepy...but it's also really sweet. She wants to make sure I'm never sad. Audrey thought, smiling softly as she slowly hugged the goddess, "Thank you." She whispered into the bluenette's ear.
"You're welcome."
