Hey guys! Smaller chapter this time, but it has more development. I'm trying to drag out this story because maybe it was just me, D3 felt very rushed. Audrey didn't feel evil enough to me, and she didn't do enough for me to call her a real villain. I love Audrey, but they didn't do her justice on the evil part. I'm trying to make her evil, very evil. Hopefully, I'm succeeding in doing that, and she is a much better villain in this fic.

Also, thanks for following and faving if you are a recent follower of my story! I really appreciate it!

Emmettluver2010 : Oh trust me, she'll be awake in no time. Audrey will be pretty pissed off at the sight of Hades, seeing as he zapped Heidi and all. I forgot to put the cookies in the year skip chapters, didn't I? Gah! And I thought I had gotten everything down pat. No worries, I'll have her give him some more cookies when she is back to normal.

I don't own Descendants, only my OCs.


Heidi landed on the ground and saw the other VKs watching Mal transform back and land shakily.

"Is there anyone in the city?" Jay asked as the three of them approached her.

Mal's eyes flew to the ground and slowly shook her head. "No. Everyone is either turned to stone or asleep." She told them while a frown appeared on her face. "Auroria...is in the same state."

Evie's eyes widened as her head tilted slightly. "Auroria?"

Mal nodded and folded her arms. "I have a feeling Audrey did it…" She bit her lip. I'm not sure if I should tell them about Heidi's ember…It's fine. She'll be back in no time, and she can get it back. Mal thought before gazing back at the school. "Did you find anything on this end?"

She received three head shakes and a small sigh from Evie.

Mal looked back at them. "We have to find Ben. He'd know if anyone survived this." She said with a gulp. That is if he is even awake or not a statue yet.

"Right." Carlos gave her a nod before looking at Uma and her crew.

The pirates shared a look before they begrudgingly left the unconscious students and approached them.

Heidi looked at Mal with a grim expression. "If there is anyone on her hit list, it's Ben. We need to hurry." The goddess told the purplette before turning away and taking off.

Mal's eyes narrowed before she began following the woman. If Ben wasn't at the school, he had to be at the castle.

At least that is what Mal hoped.


Audrey appeared in the room without a single sound besides her own soft breathing. She could see the distress on Ben's face, and it brought a smile to her face.

This was all his fault, after all. He dumped her because he wanted some evil in his life and was tired of good girls. He was tired of her.

The king held his cellphone to his ear as he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "No, no. I want the Auradon guard handing out gas masks…" He paused as his eyes narrowed. "Well, not everyone is asleep." Ben let out an aggravated growl as he threw his phone down.

It was remarkable that no one had seen her yet, possibly due to the Scepter, as she was practically hovering behind him now.

Ben looked up at the royal attendant that was standing watch at the doorway. "Find out if anyone's seen Audrey."

The attendant nodded and began to head out, but was stopped when Ben sighed in agitation. "And find out if she has a list of demands." He ordered as he unsnapped his jacket.

The young man nodded once more before leaving the room.

Audrey smirked at that and stepped out of the shadows. "Just one, Benny Boo." The king whipped around in surprise as she continued. "I demand my life back."

He could only stare at in her silence. She didn't look...right. She looked stunningly evil.

Audrey chuckled and tilted her head. "I have a proposition. I'll wake everybody up right now-under one itty-bitty condition, Benny Boo." Her fingers drummed against her Scepter as her eyes glowed pink. "Make me the Queen."

Ben's eyes widened as his confusion only doubled. He looked her over before his eyes filled with concern. "Did someone put a spell on you?"

Audrey's eyes twinkled in amusement. "A spell?" She repeated the word softly while rubbing her chin.

Ben quickly stood up. "Please, just tell me who and I'll-"

"What? You'll marry them?" The princess giggled at her own joke as she grinned. "Most people get dumped because they're not good enough. Turns out I wasn't bad enough for you. How do you like me now, Benny Boo?" She did a twirl and showed off her new look to him.

Gone was the pretty pink princess, and in her place was a dark, alluring enchantress.

Ben shook his head, not caring for her new look. "I liked the old Audrey better." He said honestly and frowned. "She wouldn't want to hurt Auradon."

Her eyes narrowed as she let out a dark chuckle. "The old Audrey died when you chose her over me and left me with nothing."

Ben froze, and his eyes went to the floor.

"Oh? You didn't know?" She feigned surprise and held her hand to her chest. "Of course, the king wouldn't have the time to notice his ex when he's too busy doting on his villain girlfriend." Her eyes flared in anger as she let out a growl. "I lost everything! Do you have any idea what my life has been like?! What I've had to go through?"

Ben held up his hands, trying to calm the girl down as she quickly grew angrier and angrier. "Audrey, I had no idea, I'm so sorry."

Audrey didn't seem to respond to his apology as her hand tightened around the Scepter. Her body was beginning to shake from the anger that had been bottled up within her.

Ben's eyes widened, and he backed up. "Audrey, please, just hand me the Scepter, and I'll forgive you." He said, knowing what she had done to the other royals.

She smirked as she let out a dark laugh. "Forgive me?" The gem at the top of the Scepter lit up. "I should not be the one needing forgiveness!" Her eyes turned completely pink as she shook her head. "And to think I was going to put you to sleep." She mused before glaring at him. "You don't deserve sleep, no that's far too good for you."

Ben's eyes met hers, and everything seemed to move in slow motion. "Audrey-"

Audrey quickly pointed the Scepter at him. "Only the best of the best for King Ben." She said before laughing as a beam of magic hit him.

The princess watched in morbid fascination as the king transformed into a form reminiscent of his father's beast form. The creature roared at her before she flared her magic, and it ran off into the halls in fright.

Audrey hummed in thought before smirking. "I should go check in with Chad; I need to see if he's still worthy of being my minion."

She stole one final glance at the office before she disappeared in a 'crack!'

...

What she didn't know, however, was that Heidi was there the whole time.

She saw everything.

Heidi stepped into the room and gazed around the room with a saddened expression. Audrey...You are too far gone, aren't you?

Heidi had no idea what she was going to do. The only thing she could do was wait to wake up then use...her powers on Audrey. That was the last thing she wanted to do.

Yet, that seemed like the only thing she could do.


The goddess had tracked Audrey back to her family's cottage and found a startling sight awaiting her.

The garden that used to be filled with flourishing flowers of every color was gone and was replaced by many stone pedestals. Many of them had statues on them, while others were empty as if they were waiting for their own figure.

Heidi landed in the middle of the 'garden' and nearly gasped at the sight of Audrey's parents looking back at her.

The statue was more than realistic; it was them.

When she turned her head to get away from the statue, she flinched as she saw the stone versions of Aladdin and Jasmine.

Her breath caught in her throat as she turned to face them all. All the royals and heroes she could think of were there in the form of a statue. Even Belle and Beast…

When did Audrey have the time to do this? The goddess thought in shock as she looked at each statue with wide eyes.

Though, there was one set of royals missing. Cinderella and Charming. There was an empty pedestal near the ones holding Elsa, and the one with Merida.

Heidi was caught off guard when she heard a door slam. Audrey soon appeared, her face set in an irritated look as she stomped into the 'garden.'

"Chad!" The pinkette called out as she noticed something off.

To Heidi's surprise, Chad scrambled out of a bush and ran up to her. "Y-Yes, Audrey?"

Audrey looked at him strangely. "What were you doing inside of a bush?"

Chad chuckled nervously as he quickly picked up a large pair of shears. "Detail trimming?"

Her eyes narrowed at him before she turned to look at a large tree. "You forgot to do that tree."

Chad looked up at the tree before he looked at her again. "R-Right, the tree. I'm on it!" He walked away and hit a button on the shears, causing them to extend and reach the branches.

Audrey gazed at him as she walked up to him from behind. "I hate to repeat myself, but do I have to remind you what would happen if you were to try and disobey me? If you tried to escape?" She asked in a deadly voice as her eyes twinkled in darkness.

Heidi's head whipped in their direction. No way…

Chad shakily nodded as he continued to trim the tree.

Audrey chuckled as she turned away. "I have a place in my garden for them; if you wish for them to remain safe, you must never disobey me." She said as she looked at the statue of Belle and Beast.

"Yes, Audrey…" Chad responded quietly, keeping his head down in fright.

Audrey glanced over her shoulder. "What was that? Speak up."

Chad flinched and stopped trimming. "Y-Yes, Audrey!" He shouted, before returning to the tree as if that was the only thing he could do.

Audrey smirked and sauntered away towards the cottage, her eyes glowing pink in amusement at how Chad acted.

I get it now...She threatened to turn Cinderella and Charming to stone if Chad didn't become her faithful minion. Heidi thought as her frown deepened.

She gazed back at all the statues. Fear. Anger. Sadness. Horror. Shock. Terror.

There was no happiness in this once bright garden.

There was only despair in this garden of hate.
