Once again thank you to Descendantslover for you lovely review and also to redbfan90 for your review, it means a lot to me that you guys take out time to let me know your thoughts!
Armed with her most disarming smile and oversized black sunglasses, Evie prepared to exit the limo the way her mother had taught her to do anything- with style. She theatrically placed her booted foot on the ground, letting it linger alone outside so people could see the black, red and blue mixed skull design and let the chains decorating the heel catch the light. She placed the other foot out in the same manner, before reaching up and curling her manicured hand over the top of the door, letting everyone admire how her pale skin contrasted the sleek black door. With a lethal grace, she got out of the car, using her other hand to push her long dead-straight hair off her shoulder. She made a show of scanning the area, sending a wink at an attractive brunette she saw. She moved out of the way so Kyra could slink out, internally smirking when she saw the looks of fear on people's faces, which only deepened when Tynan flew out and rested on her leather covered shoulder. Pleased, she sauntered over to the line of villains' kids, sashaying her hips in a display of seductive power.
She pushed her way in between Jay and Carlos, resting her elbows on both their shoulders; careful that she didn't jostle Othello. Tynan had flown off to a tree so he could survey for any threats, while Kyra curled up at her feet, her muscular boy slightly pressing into Jay's foot due to her size. Jay turned to Evie with a raised eyebrow, but just shook his head almost fondly and left her to it. Carlos was more used to her touchy habits, and just left her leaning on him, despite the voice in his head screaming at him to run away in case the animal languidly laying next to her tried to hurt him.
"I'm so sorry I'm late, I just got really nervous about coming here this morning and Cinderella- sorry, Ella, had to calm me down before we left, I hope I didn't interrupt," she said smoothly, her voice expertly pitched and a slight, barely noticeable pout on her lips.
Ben audibly swallowed, his eyes wide as despite himself he drank in her beauty. The girl was magnetic, her beauty almost ethereal. Audrey quickly squeezed his hand, breaking him out of his trance. She looked at Evie and plastered on a fake smile, to which Evie just quirked an eyebrow in faux innocence, internally smirking when she felt Kyra and Tynan's dislike for the girl through their bond.
"No it is okay, we understand this must be overwhelming. We were just about to go on a tour, but before that I'm Ben-"
"Crown Prince Ben of Beudona, son of Queen Belle and King Adam. And I am his girlfriend," she stressed the word, giving Evie a warning glare decorated in sweet smiles."Crown Princess Audrey of Astoria, the Moors and Amyris," she said, making Mal practically crush Jay's hand when she said the Moors.
Evie just hummed, thoughtful, before a wicked gleam overtook her eyes. "Pardon me for my cluelessness, but isn't the Moors the kingdom of the Fae? With Pixie Hollow being in there as well? How can you rule a place you can't even access?" Evie asked, her expression sculptured into the picture of contriteness and Mal had to physically refrain herself from smirking.
Audrey seemed at a loss for what to say, so Ben quickly swooped in, not wanting another awkward moment like Audrey had with Mal. "Okay then, we should start the tour huh? Right this way everyone!" he said with false cheer, wrapping his arm around Audrey and leading them away.
The group of Villain Kids just watched them walk away, inwardly rolling their eyes at Ben's extremely unsubtle exit. Evie retracted her arms from the boys and sauntered to the front, Kyra following loyally. "Well she will be exhausting, " Evie said bluntly, drawing sniggers from the others.
"Evie? That was a rotten thing you just did," Mal said, the Isle equivalent of being impressed and thankful.
Evie shrugged, a vicious smirk crossing her red painted lips. "I don't like you, but I hate her more so for the time we are here, you guys have my loyalty." she said, cringing at the unfamiliar word on her lips. "We are stuck with these losers, and you 7 are at least bearable," she replied, inspecting her nails to feign disinterest.
"Temporary truce, all of us?" Mal inquired, looking around at everyone, who all nodded, repeating her statement.
"As much fun as this is, we should probably catch up to them so they don't think we are planning world domination or some shit," Uma said casually, her lips quirking upwards at the thought of worrying these prisses.
"Let 'em sweat," Harry added, holding her close to his side, the feeling of his long patched leather jacket against her skin making her smile.
The group smirked, relishing in the thoughts of their fear. Tynan sent Evie an image of him staying put so she told him it was okay, internally giggling when Othello flew off to join his fellow bird. The group slowly began sauntering after the couple, knowing that despite how much they hated it here, they were going to have a lot of fun messing with the stuck-up royals.
"And Doug here will give you your schedules and take you to your rooms," Ben said, stopping at the internal staircase, his arm still wrapped around Audrey's waist.
"Aw, ye leavin' us already, princey?" Harry mocked, a fake frown on his face.
Clearing his throat and trying not to let the pirate see he made him feel unease, Ben placed on his best royal smile. "I have some forms I need to take care of for my parents and Audrey needs to get to a student council meeting," Ben explained, his tone belaying apology.
"So that's what they call it here, huh?" Jay smirked, making Harry sicker with Gil joining once he understood the implication.
Clearing her throat and using all her royal decorum, Audrey gave them a smile that just looked a little strained. "It is regretful that we have to leave, but Ben and I shall come around later to see how you are faring, but until then we leave you in Doug's capable hands. Au Revoir," she said, gently leading Ben away, her heels clacking on the ground.
The group turned their disinterested expressions onto the sole guy before them, the boys practically quaking at the weight of all the kids' eyes on him. "Um okay so I have your schedules here and your room assignments," he stuttered, fiddling with the papers and trying his hardest not to drop them. "Um, unfortunately we couldn't get a room big enough for all you girls or all four of you guys so you are split up a bit, and- woah," he trailed off, his eyes widening as he saw Evie standing there, her torso encased in a dark blue velvet strappy crop top topped with ripped black lace and a studded cropped leather jacket finishing it off.
She put on her most flirtatious smile and strode over to him, putting extra sway in her hips. She reached up and stroked his bow tie, inwardly delighting in the nervous expression he got on his face at her actions. "I'm Evie, Evil Queen's daughter, pleasure to meet you, Doug," she charmed, smoothly taking off her sunglasses and facing him with the full power of her spellbinding eyes.
"I'm err, Doug. daughter, err I mean parent, err-" he fumbled, his mind replicating a tumbleweed as his thoughts all got caught together.
"I think you mean son, dude," Carlos interjected, rolling his eyes at how pathetic this kid was. He'd not last a minute on the Isle.
"Um yes, son of Dopey," he said, his mind tangled as he stared at her transfixed.
Evie just internally smirked, thinking of all the ways she could use his attraction. She bet she could get some useful information about the wand out of him if he acted like this just from her being in his personal space. Oh the possibilities. Her smirk manifested on her face when he spied the huge panther glaring at him, but he didn't comment, much to her disappointment.
"Can you show us to our rooms now?" Jana interrupted, feigning annoyance but secretly amused at how Evie was manipulating him without him even being aware.
"Right of course! Err girls or boys first?" he asked, deliberately not looking at Evie.
"I think," she purred, stroking his scrawny arm. "That you should take us to the boys rooms first, and maybe you can even point out yours? It would be so… nice to have someone to go to, someone that understands Auradon and all it's, pressures," she said, her hand never leaving his arm as she spoke, her tone crafted into the perfect seductive tone.
The others almost burst out laughing at his face. It was so red he looked more like a tomato than a living person. Despite not knowing her well, Uma and the others knew when she was manipulating others, and this was a stellar example of her working her magic. He stumbled out his words before nodding emphatically, racing off down the hall and completely forgetting that they had no idea where he was going. Evie just smirked and cackled, her eyes gleaming with mischief.
"I think you broke him," Gil said, blinking owlishly at the weird kid.
"Who cares? It's not like i'm interested in him, I'm interested in what he knows." she replied, rolling her eyes and delicately screwing up her face at the thought of her actually having an attraction to the guy.
"You sure? You seemed pretty cozy," Uma sniggered, crossing her arms over her cropped teal leather vest.
Evie's face turned into one of revulsion and she physically shuddered, not just at the thought of her being interested in Doug but at the thought of what her mother would do if she genuinely had an interest in the boy. There wouldn't be anywhere she could hide. She felt a thread of concern from Tynan so she sent a cloud of soothing emotion, immediately making him relax.
Before she could reply, Doug shuffled back in the room, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "I kinda forgot you had to follow me, so err shall we go?" he asked, keeping his eyes on the floor in case he looked at Evie and his mind turned to mush- again.
Evie just exchanged an amused smile with Jana before the blonde haired girl walked over to her, her long velvety skirt the colour of a lion's mane fanning out around her ankles. When she got to Evie she offered her arm to her which Evie took, and the pair strode off, Kyra never leaving Evie's side while the others brought up the rear .
Mal's lips curled in distaste as yet another person greeted the group as they walked down the hall. How the fuck were these people so happy and friendly? It left a bitter taste in her mouth and made her notorious temper flare. It was only Jay's hand wrapped around the curve of her back that stopped her from gorging someone's eyes out, and he knew it too, which was why he held her against his side in a vice grip.
"And here is Carlos's room," Doug said, standing next to the door as if he was someone important. It made Mal want to punch him for the upteenth time. "It's also err, my room," he choked out, his eyes swiftly brushing to Evie who school her features into a flirtatious smile.
Mal rolled her eyes at the display, the boy was just too pathetic. How did he not know that Evie was messing with him? She may not like the girl and saw her as a threat to her power but even she had to admit that Evie could do so much better. She wasn't called the Isle's fairest for nothing.
She just learnt against the wall and bent one knee, leaning against Jay's leather clad body purely because she could. She'd deny it with her dying breath but she missed him while she was away, the chipperness of Snow White and her husband was nauseating- she didn't blame Evie's mum for trying to carve out the girl's heart. The girl was intolerable.
"Not much longer and we can get away from him," Jay whispered in her ear, making her sigh in contentment.
"If Evie doesn't invite him to bed that is," she replied sardonically, making Jay snort.
"Babe I don't think you need to worry about that, pretty sure she'd rather shave off an eyebrow than touch him." The abusement in his tone was infectious and she snickered along with him, vividly imaging the vain girl sans an eyebrow.
"Okay so next is Gil's room. You are rooming with Prince," Mal snorted seeing how Evie perked up at that word, "Sampson, son of err, well it doesn't matter who he's the son of, he's great," he said, but Mal didn't miss the nervous glance he gave Jana.
The group just walked silently down the hall, the VKs and Kyra not even bothering to move for people to get past. It took forever for Mal but they came to a stop outside a door, passing Gil a key. The boy slightly limped- how did she miss that?- and opened the door, poking his head in before turning back to them.
"No prince here," he said, making Harry and Uma chuckle.
"He must be out with his friends, I'm sure you'll meet him later." Doug said before leading them forward down the hall to their next stop.
"Finally," Mal muttered when they came to a stop, slightly wondering as to which guy was living here.
"This is Harry and Jay's room," he said, making the two boys shoot each other disgusted looks.
The filed, in, their shoulders slamming on the doors as they fought each other to get in first. Uma rolled her eyes and stomped forward, pulling the both by their ears and pulling them back. "Pathetic," she drawled, striding in with Mal hot on her heels.
"Not bad, too much wood, but not awful," Uma said, looking around with Mal doing the same.
It was a far cry from their own tastes but wasn't disgusting. There were two steps leading up to the sleeping area, each side mirroring the other. Their beds were pushed right to the corners of the room, one of which Kyra made a beeline for and curled up in like she owned it, with a tall wardrobe at the foot of the bed. In between the beds were white french doors, leading out to the balcony. Pushed up against the dais the beds were on were bulky chest of draws, matching the wood that encased the builds. On the far side of the room was a door with a large circular table with a few chairs in the centre of that half of the eroom. On Harry's side, there was a massive TV with a sight circular dais they would stand on to play the games. Sure, the plaid curtains were disgusting and the amount of wood was just overwhelming, but overall it wasn't awful. Well, except for the ostentatious headboards with the school's logo embossed on it, that was bad and not in the complimentary way.
"No' bad," Harry whistled, looking around the room. Sure it needed a hammock or two and better colours but overall it would work, despite his poor choice of roommate.
"All the boys' rooms are like this, with a few minor differences," Doug said, still avoiding looking at Evie.
"I'm not looking forward to seeing the girls' rooms," Uma said, with Mal wholeheartedly agreeing.
"They are really pretty, I'm sure you'll like them," Doug said, not noticing the horrorstuck expressions on their faces. "Now come on, if we hurry we can make it to afternoon tea," he said, making the group's expressions turn quizzical, momentarily forgetting that was a custom there.
"After you," Evie teased, making the guy's face turn a blotchy red.
"I'm going to stay here guys," Carlos said nervously, eyeing Kyra who had made herself comfortable on Jay's bed.
"Same," Gil said, eyeing the carpet as if it would bite him.
"Evie, are you going to get your oversized house cat off Jay's bed?" Mal asked, only for the cat to snarl at her, pulling her ears back against her skull.
Evie snickered but gave the cat a stern look, making her practically sulk as she got off the bed. "It's okay baby, we can snuggle with Tynan together when we get to our room, okay my love?" Evie cooed, crouching down to nuzzle her nose.
Doug's face drained of colour at how she spoke so easily to the predator, but Evie paid him no mind. Instead she stood back up, her hand still stroking the head of her beautiful familiar. "Come on, I can feel Tynan getting panicky," she said, leaving the room to go back she came, following the bond to find out how to get out.
"This looks like Sleepy Beauty threw up in here," Jana said, screwing up her nose as she looked around her room.
True to his word, the room was pretty. There were two four poster beds in the room with a frilly pink canopy. The floors were hardwood and to the left of the far bed was a small alcove with windows covering the three walls, complete with a plush pink window seat with millions of cushions. Each side came complete with a white vanity, wardrobe and dresser and there was a door leading to their own bathroom. It was pretty, and Jana hated it, wanted to set it on fire or freeze the flowery curtains until they were brittle enough to break.
"Please tell me Eve is my roommate," Jana groaned, turning her glare onto the boy behind her.
"Um no sorry, your's is Jane," Jana groaned, running a hand through her light blonde hair, her finger snagging on a few of the braids she had added to it.
"And all of the rooms are like this?" she asked, getting a nod.
"This is disgusting, I don't need to see the other rooms, come find me when you girls need me," she said, glaring at the room as if it had personally offended her.
"Okay so, Uma and Mal you two a sharing a room," he didn't notice the fact both girls went slack jawed at that particular revelation, "and Evie, yours is Audrey." This time he did notice her murderous expression and was suddenly thankful for the magical blocking barrier on the school.
"Let's get this over with," Mal groaned and the group filed out of the room, to go find their own rings of hells- sorry, bedrooms.
Yay they are finally there! I really hope you guys enjoyed this because I had a lot of fun writing flirty Evie and angry Mal. Their non-Auradon personalities are so much fun. They are different here from the movies as their upbringing is a bit different. For example, the Evil Queen encouraged Evie's brains, but taught her to hide it and use it to manipulate behind the scenes. Mal's mother has cultivated her daughter's anger so she is more trigger happy. Gil's roommate will play a part in this later on, so keep an eye out for that!
Until next time,
