thought '...'
speaking "..."
I was thinking about how some of the ideas in the movie didn't work so here since Jay is Jafars son he should have some magic in him (Jafar should at least have his broken staff). Carlos being cruella's son has a thing for fashion and isn't afraid of dogs (Will keep Dude, but might add other dogs). Evie still uses her mirror, but should make potions which is why she is good at magic. All the villains are serious about getting off the island. Auradon Prep/Kingdom still using magic. This story will also show my take on their island life and what the life of a villains kid is like. I did not read the book isle of the lost so if people want to send some characteristic or summaries or anything about the book they think I should know I would appreciate it.
Mal's point of view
It was mid-afternoon and we were all gathered in the main tower again. Scanning the room I glanced at Evie whose mother was trying to cover the bag under her eyes from lack of sleep, Carlos who was fluffing his mothers furry and also seemed to be dead on his feet, Jay was shifting his weight from one foot to the other as his father talked to him about what his magic might be like beyond the barrier. Sighing I scanned through the pages of my mother spell book, trying to calm my nerves and annoyance.
Suddenly a loud beep was heard from outside. Carlos seemed to jump as his mother reminded him of rabid dogs. Evie smiled as her mother went on and on about how to trap herself a prince reminding her to keep her smarts to herself. Jafar was still talking about magic as Jay nodded to show he was listening even though it seemed he didn't care. I took a deep breath. 'This was happening. We were going to Auradon.' I thought, closing the book and standing up as Jay shouted, "Let's get this party started." Jay was grinning as he hopped off the table where he was sitting. I glanced over at him, shaking my head wondering how on earth he could sound excited, we were tasked with an impossible mission, going to a new land where people hated us, and had the high stakes of disappointing our parent. There was nothing to be excited about. 'Then again, Jay never ceases to amaze me' I thought, thinking back to all the shenanigans we get into.
"Carlos! Come!" Creulla says clapping her hands. Carlos grabbed a trash bag that was closest to him. Something told me Evie was going to have to make Carlos more closes when we got to Auradon seeing how light the bag was. Gently Carlos picked up the handle to a cardboard box that had holes littered around it a small meow being heard, but ignored.
Evie held up her mother's mirror. "Who is the fairest of them all" her mother asked. "Me" replied Evie smiling until she saw her mother's face. "You." She corrects somehow still managing to keep the smile on her face, even if it did drop a tiny bit on the ends. "Yes that's right." She says, handing Evie her box purse, Evie puts it around herself as she picks up an oddly tall shaped luggage piece from the table.
Jay stood up his father grabbing him before he could get to far. "Recite our mantra again." "There is no team in I" Jay says with a smile, as his father pats him on the shoulder. "That's my boy," he says, as they walk towards Jay's colorful bags. "Now remember when you grab the wand be sure to bring back my staff as well." Jay nodded as they headed out Jafar carrying one bag and Jay carrying and awkwardly large rectangular case.
My mother grabbed my arm and dragged me to the balcony where I could see our bags were getting packed into a limo below and the cost of Auradon on the horizon. For a moment I thought my mother might tell me some inspiring words to help me on this mission instead she drapes an arm over my shoulder and says "The future of the free world rest on your shoulders. Don't blow it." She sends a small calculating smile in my direction before walking away. 'Of course did you think that would go any different' I thought, ignoring the tiny voice in the back of my head that said 'I can hope.' I look out again, not towards the coast of Auradon, but out towards the isle of the lost. Everyone was standing close to the limo; most held confused expressions as whispers spread about.
I watched as a group of kids probably no older than eight huddled around the limo. I knew some of the kids, we nicknamed them the 'lost kids' there parents literally dumped them on the streets, they lived off whoever was willing to take care of them 'but than again nothing is free on this island' I thought, wondering what horrors they had been put through. Now that they were eight thought, they seemed to be trying to fend for themselves. I watched as the boy in front made a signal with his hands. Jay who was stealing the hood ornament of the limo looked towards the group and pointed towards the sky. I couldn't help, but smirk. Old tough guy Jay looking out for the street rats. Jay always tried to make sure we had enough food to eat, even if that meant he didn't, but he had a soft spot for the young thieves. He would try to steal them some food hiding it around the island, but mostly he tried to teach them the ways of the street, how to steal, how to set traps, where to hide you know important thing. The whole group seemed to nod as they scattered. I knew that signal it was 'to the roofs' sign. Jay probably stashed some food for them before heading out. 'Depending on how long were gone, they might not all be there when he gets back.' I thought, shifting my gaze to the horizon. 'This better be worth it.' "MAL" I heard my mother shout, turning away from the balcony I followed her downstairs.
I could hear Creulla yelling for Carlos to "come back here" and Evil Queen's "Uhh smells like common folks." I watched as Jay went in first, Carlos diving into the door as his mother called after him calling him an "ingrate." Evie with a grace her mother beat into her since childbirth climbed in with a poise of a princess. Taking a moment to look around the street I brought my stare to the fortress balcony where my mother stood. She raised her hand and for a moment I thought she would wave me off instead she points two fingers to her eyes and points them at me. Her message clear, somehow some way she would always be watching me. Nodding my head in understanding I climbed into the car.
Carlos who seemed a bit out of breath was sitting beside Jay who was admiring the hood ornament I saw him steal. Evie sat on the other side of Jay behind the driver and awkwardly I climbed over their feet to sit next to her. 'That's when the panic started to finally sunk it. They were going to Auradon, to steal the blue fairy's wand, to free their parents, to start a new age of evil. I masked my features to look calm and collect, but inside I was starting to freak out. We would be the first people to ever leave the Isle of the Lost, and if we came back failures it would not be pretty.
Once l had gotten into the car the driver whispered into something "The jackles have landed" before starting up the limo and pulling away. As they moved farther away we could hear each of our parents each calling shouting at us.
"Bring home the gold!" Jafar called.
"Bring home a puppy!" Cruella cackled.
"Bring home a prince!" The Evil Queen finished.
I rolled my eyes as Carlos shifted uneasily in his seat. His mother the woman who gave him his fear of dogs didn't care how terrified he was of them, she still wanted him to get her a dog. Jay seemed a bit too cocky in the limo, to calm and smiles for the start of this mission. Evie was getting out her mirror making sure she still looked beautiful.
As we started driving, we began looking around the limo, it was pretty nice far more expensive that most of the things on the island. 'Well what do you expect we usually only get Auradon's hand me downs.' I thought, scanning the large snack bar that was sitting in front of us. They were packed with various types of candy. On the Isle it was rare to find any kind of candy, let alone pieces that weren't stale and broken. One time Jay and I were able to get our hands on a few pieces of candy as it was landing in the docks, but that was at least five years ago. I watched as Carlos and Jay turned to look at one another, grinning. 'Its never a good idea when they grin like that' I thought, watching as the two boys try to launch themselves at the candy.
They were trying to push the other back to get to the candy first. Jay, being the strongest of the group of course had the upper hand and held Carlos back as he grabbed some and stuffed it in his mouth. The two only stopped fighting when both their mouths were completely full and the both seemed to moan in bliss, tasting a lot of everything.
Evie was also staring at the candy, but most likely not wanting to get mixed up with the boys fighting settled with some blue spiky candy on a stick. From her smile, I could tell that she liked what ever it was she was eating. Carlos and Jay were grabbing as much candy as they could trying anything within reach. 'I wonder will they actually feed us at Auradon? Or give us shelter? Just what exactly do they want with us' I thought, as I watched as the others enjoyed themselves, but couldn't bring myself to eat anything. My stomach to twisted from unknown answers. I knew I should eat something just in case Auradon Prep decided not to feed us. Shoving some pieces that looked like they wouldn't melt into my pocket for later.
"You're looking a little washed out, let me help you out," Evie said, pulling brushes out of her purse box. One of her brushes touched my cheek and I quickly pushed her away, the powder feeling weird on my skin.
"Ew, stop," I say making sure her makeup isn't anywhere near my face. "I'm plotting."
"Well it's not very attractive," Evie says turning away from me as she goes back to eating her candy.
"Oh, these," Carlos shouts grabbing everyone's attention as he slaps Jay's arm and he chews slowly as if he couldn't believe what he was tasting. "It's salty like nuts, but sweet like I don't know what."
Jay furrowed his eyebrows confused by the description says, "Let me see." He opens his mouth a little expecting Carlos to feed him the other half of the candy. Carlos, taking him literally 'he can be so dumb at times,' opens his mouth showing Jay the half chewed candy he was eating. Jay gave him a look of disgust and shoves him a little as he takes the candy out of Carlos' hand shoving it in his own mouth. From the change in his expression, I could tell that what ever that candy was it was both the boys favorites.
I roll my eyes as I find a remote in the back seat with a large button on it. Pressing it I watch as the boys take more of the salty nut like candy as Evie shouted, "Look!"
All our heads snap towards where Evie was looking. They were approaching the edge of the island, about to go under the arch of the broken bridge. There was no line, no road, nothing. We were about to plummet right into the ocean. 'Oh god none of us know how to swim' I thought, a new rush of panic kicking in.
"It's a trap!" Carlos yelled. 'This must have been the king and queen of Auradon's plan all along, to kill off any type of new threats to Auradon.' I thought, as I ducked down not wanting to see my demise.
The four of us screamed, huddling together, fearing that this would be it, our demise was upon us. Jay wrapped his arm around Carlos pulling him close to his body as his arm went around Evie reaching for me while I gripped his arm with one hand the other clutching Evie's knee. We all shut our eyes letting out a scream as a bright light flashed.
As the bright light faded we stopped our screaming and slowly opened our eyes. We weren't on the isle of the lost anymore, but we weren't dead either. Fully opening my eyes I looked out the window noticed that we were driving on a yellow road above the ocean. Evie was looking up above as if she expected heavens gate to be in front of her. Carlos and Jay were still holding on, Carlos practically latching onto Jay's shoulder and the arm wrapped around his neck. Slowly we started to unbundle ourselves from each other's death grips.
"What just happened?" Carlos asked trying to make sense of the situation. Looking utterly confused. Which is not a good look for the genius.
We all looked at the back window the limo was driving a long a semi-transparent bridge that was shining so brightly it could only have been magic. I have a little laugh as everyone hearts started to settle back down.
"It must be magic!" Evie said excitedly a smile on her face and her eyes glazed over from unshed tears of joy or terror I wasn't sure.
I turned towards the driver, tapping the remote I had in my hand against the seat, "Hey! Did this little remote open up the magic barrier?"
"No," The driver said matter-of-factly. He held up a different remote and said, "This one opens the magic barrier. That one opens my garage." He reached up and began to press a button above the rear-view mirror, he looked right at me says, "And this one…" he presses the button and the window separating the driver and us started to close. I smiled at him as the window closed all the way.
I let out a laugh as I leaned back in my seat, "Okay, nasty. I like that guy."
The road to the coast of Auradon wasn't long; the road to Auradon Prep however was unbearable. We were all starting to get antsy well except Evie who had finished eating her candy as was checking her mirror every five second clearly not happy that her tongue was blue. 'If its this far to the island how are we going to steal the wand and get back there with out getting caught its not like we know how to use the stupid thing.' I thought, reading one of the brochures about Auradon prep.
Carlos had gone back to the candy while Jay started to disconnect all the valuable electronics in the limo trying to grab as many as he can. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the thief, but than a habit was a habit, but a survival instinct was even worse to try and break. Scanning the brochure I noticed that they offered a few course in magic. 'Hmm I doubt they would let a villain take a magic course. Far to paranoid for that, but maybe I can steal some books and teach myself.' I thought, already scheming. Before any of us were aware we were pulling up to Auradon Prep. Evie shrieked with joy touching up her makeup as Jay started to put as many electronics in his pocket, while Carlos tried to eat even more candy.
I stared out the window the whole school must have been here to greet us. There were flags, signs, and even a marching band. I wrinkled my nose at just how over the top this all was. 'Uhh they all look so prissy' I thought, with disgust.
When the driver stopped the limo I took a moment to scan the school. "Pretty big welcome right" Evie says her voice a tad higher than it should be. It was obvious she was slightly nervous.
"To big" I muttered.
Apparently while we were scanning our new surrounds we had given the driver enough time to get out and open the door. While Evie and I were busy judging the school Carlos had been arguing with Jay over a blue towel they both wanted. Evie and I could only roll our eyes at their behavior knowing that Carlos would lose, but doing nothing to help. But since they were both tugging for it, Carlos was putting most of his weight on the door behind him trying to get some leverage. So, when the driver opened it, Carlos went tumbling out.
As Carlos was on the ground, still tugging for the towel, Jay climbed out with everything he grabbed which like a good thief was basically everything that was in the limo. He put one foot on Carlos' chest trying to make him let go of the towel. We knew he wouldn't hurt Carlos to bad, just pin him untill he admitted defeat.
" OH! AH!OW! STOP!" Carlos whined from the floor as I tried to step out of the limo with Jay still in the way "You got everything else! Why do you want whatever this is?" Carlos yelled, struggling from under his foot. The marching band had stopped playing and by now Evie and I were both out of the limo. Evie walked a few feet from the scrapping boys doing her little princess spin with a smile on her face.
"Because. You. Want it," Jay said between tugs as he tries to carry the TV. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Jay only tries to take what Carlos wants because that way when Carlos gets really angry at him, Jay just has to give him the thing that he stole from Carlos as a gift. Carlos wanting whatever it was that Jay stole first would instantly forgive him. It is exactly how this goes, but I wasn't sure if either of the boys realized it yet.
"No!" Carlos yelled, pulling harder. 'Always so stubborn' I thought, as more 'OW' and 'Give it to me' were heard.
Being used to this Evie and I just ignored them, knowing that it would end as soon as Carlos let go, and stepped around the two. Carlos and Jay were both oblivious to the fact everyone was staring at them.
"Give it to me."
"No! Ow!"
"Let go!"
Carlos continued to struggle pulling the towel and trying to pry Jay's foot off his chest at the same time. We weren't bothered by it until an adult and two teens started to walk through the marching band, well more like the marching band parted for them. Recognizing the lady wearing a blue dress with a giant pink bow on the front from the brochure as Fairy Godmother I knew I had to put an end to this. Standing in front of the two as if I could shield them I tried to get them to stop. Wanting nothing more than to snarl and flash my green eyes knowing that would get them to stop in an instant, but probably freak everyone else here. 'Have to try and make a good first impression' I thought, giving a harsh whisper of "Guys. Guys. Guys!"
Carlos looked up and he stopped pulling, Jay wondering what would cause his friend from giving up did the same.
"We have an audience," I snapped through my teeth trying to force a smile on my face. Looking behind me I noticed Jay had his charming smile on too, trying to cover up the fact he stole most of the stuff in the limo by saying, "Just cleaning up."
Jay glanced down at Carlos and dropped the towel along with his smile telling him under his breath to "Get up." He yanked Carlos up by his hand; Carlos stumbled back from the force, bundling the towel up in his arms so Jay couldn't take it while looking at the lady before them trying to smile.
"Leave it like you found it," She said in a cheery sing-song voice. Then she held out her hands, telling them she wasn't joking, "And by that I mean just leave it."
Jay glared at her already knowing he didn't like this lady, then the driver who had a smug grin on his face as he was still standing by the door. Jay reluctantly threw in the various things he stole, but not the things in his jacket or pockets. He snatched the towel from Carlos who gave it up willingly and threw that back in the limo to. The driver closed the door.
I wasn't sure what to do next, but Jay apparently had that covered. "Hello, foxy." He says walking away from the group to take a step towards a pretty girl behind Fairy Godmother. I couldn't help but glance over at Carlos, grinning at Jay being Jay no matter where he was. Carlos smiled back, but it seemed a bit. 'Probably upset about the great grand entrance they gave' I thought, focusing back on Jay when he started speaking.
"The name's Jay," Jay said flashing his best smile at the girl. She just looked at him and laughed not a nervous one, more like a in your dreams laugh. It made me tense for a moment, because I knew Jay could tell the same thing. He hid his confusion well, but his smile slightly dropped. Fairy Godmother leaned in front of the girl, causing Jay's line of vision to be on her instead.
"Welcome, to Auradon Prep," She said smiling.
Jay's smile completely faded. He knew his time for flirting was over, or maybe he realized he was just saved from a rejection. He turned around and went back to his place standing behind me again.
"I'm Fairy Godmother," The lady introduced herself, "Headmistress."
I perk up at that, 'I knew it.' "The fairy godmother?" I say gushing over her title. A little bit of sucking up never did any harm "As in bibbidi bobbidi boo?"
"Bibbidi bobbidi, you know it," Fairy Godmother said, clearly enjoying being praised, than again who didn't.
"Yeah, I always wondered what it felt like for Cinderella when you just appeared out of nowhere!" I said, getting a little choked up to show how impressed I was with her. I could tell the blonde hair boy was eating it up, but the girl although she didn't know our plan she wasn't buying it. "With that sparkly wand and warm smile" Fairy godmother practically cooed at that "and that sparkly wand."
"That was a long time ago," Fairy Godmother told her pride in her voice, "And as I always say, 'don't focus on the past or you'll miss the future!" She said making large hand gestures. I try not to let my best smile falter. 'Hard to have a future when people judge you on your past' I thought, biting my tongue.
The two teens behind her then stepped around her to greet us. "It's so good to finally meet you all," the boy said, "I'm Ben." He was tall not at tall as Jay or as muscular, but he seemed fit. His blonde hair was brushed and styles not a hair out of place, his smile white, and his eyes shining. Clothes pressed and tidy. I wanted to hurl just looking at him
"Prince Benjamin, soon to be king," the girl beside him corrected clearly more excited with the title than anything.
Evie immediately stepped towards him, "You had me at prince. My mom's a queen, which makes me a princess," Evie said curtsying her eyes dazed as she smiled. The boy gave her a small smile looking down as if embarrassed.
"The Evil Queen has no royal status here," the girl beside Ben told Evie bluntly with a smile, "And neither do you." She says, a bite in her tone a smile still in place. Evie's smile disappears and I can feel the whole group tense already knowing that this girl was on our hate list. Evie stepped back towards us, glaring at the girl as well. 'Oh you are in so much trouble.' I thought, not even feeling slightly sorry for the hell that girl was going to get.
"Uh, this is Audrey," Ben introduced her trying to break the heavy tension. No doubt looking at our faces as his friend bashed on Evie.
"Princess Audrey," she corrected again, her finger out and pointed. Then she grabbed Ben's hand and added, "His girlfriend. Right Benny-Boo?" 'Uhh gag me with a spoon' I thought, the feeling to hurl coming back ten times stronger.
Ben smiled and nodded, but looked uncomfortable. 'What a king?' I thought, laughing in my head 'can't even stand up to his girlfriend.' I thought, watching as Audrey had both of their hands together.
Fairy Godmother leaned over their joined hands and said to us, "Ben and Audrey are gonna show you all around, and I'll see you tomorrow." She paused for a second "The doors of wisdom are never shut!" She said pushing Ben and Audrey's hands up enthusiastically. I felt Jay step forward expecting a burst of violence and Carlos taking a step towards me, suppressing my instinct to fight I placed my hand in front of them both before they could do anything to stupid. Doubting that the Fairy Godmother knew better than to make such sudden moves. Feeling the boys calmed down I placed my hands on my hips, hoping no one had caught our little movements. The Fairy Godmother who had no idea the danger she was in says seriously, "But the library hours are from eight to eleven and as you may have heard, I have a little thing about curfews." She says smiling at us and then walked away, the marching band following after her.
We hadn't been standing at Auradon Prep for very long, but god I already hated it. I could already picture all the things that could go wrong here. 'Find the wand, cause some trouble here and there especially on that prissy princess over there and than call it a week' I thought, watching awkwardly as it was suddenly just us and the two royal preps. 'Breath we can do this…hopefully.'
