Chap. 7. Reflection before the stars ...

During the rest of the afternoon, the boys decided to create a love potion to use it on Ben, so that he fell madly in love with Mal, making her stand beside him and especially the Fairy Godmother in his coronation, and that way, steal the magic wand. Simple, but the only problem would be that apart from that it would be very rare for the future ruler of Auradon to start dating anything else with a girl from the Island of the Lost, she would also be the current girlfriend of the aforementioned, Audrey. Since the day they all arrived in Auradon, she has been very territorial and possessive with Ben. But taking that aside, to solve the first problem mentioned, Jay gave a brilliant idea. Being already an official player of the Tourney team of Auradon High School, the "Fighting Knights", in the afternoon the coach explained that tomorrow they would play against the rival team of Auradon High School, the "Forest Falcons", all the students would be present to support them, which they decided that right there, Ben would have to have already taken or eaten the love potion, and in front of the whole school, declare his love to Mal. And as Evie said "There is nothing much more romantic, than Forbidden love and confess it in front of everyone¨.

Now during the night, everyone was in the kitchen of the school, preparing the Love Spell, there were several recipes, but it would be very strange if they were given in the form of a drink or bottle, so they decided to do it in the form of a cookie.

"I still think it's a terrible idea ..." Arawn said a little annoying to everyone, especially Mal. For him, it was very strange, since, even if it was only temporary, he didn't understand why Mal volunteered.

¨And I already told you that it's the only way to get that wand. I'm not going to let my mother down¨, Mal replied without turning to see him, since he was concentrating on reading the cookie recipe well.

¨Well ... if you are looking for a desperate boyfriend, Zevon is already waiting for you on the Island¨, I speak with Arawn mockery, which earned a lot of laughs from everyone. Although Mal saw him angry, then she shook her head and reread the spell book.

¨Ok ... ok, he says we need a tear and I don't cry¨, says Mal, while he kept reading and at the same time, he mixed the ingredients in a bowl.

¨Cut some onions?¨, Carlos suggests to everyone, while grabbing an onion.

¨No, he says we need a tear of human sadness. This recipe is one of the most demanding, so we must follow it exactly as it says¨, says Mal while shaking his head.

¨Any tear is a tear, no matter how it goes¨, said Jay without giving importance to the matter.

¨That is not true Jay, an emotional tear has better nutrients and is more effective than any one¨, says Evie, while passing other ingredients to Mal. Which won a surprised and impressed looks from everyone.

"Yes, you read ..." Mal said as he smiled at her.

¨Yes, I knew¨,Jay said as he laughed, but Carlos laughs and hits his arm.

¨Well ... so I think we should generate that tear ...¨, Arawn spoke as he approached a kitchen cabinet, while everyone watched him.

¨And how do you suggest it?¨, Mal asked.

¨Easy. Carlos, do you like the pulgoso?¨, Arawn asked while he was back to everyone.

¨I ... yes, the truth is that yes ... and his name is Chico¨, Carlos replied, a little annoying and at the same time confused.

¨Well then ... I hope you grabbed enough love to cry and at the same time not so much not to miss him ...¨,I speak almost from ultra grave Arawn.

When Arawn turned around, everyone saw that he gave a small sinister smile and had a knife in one of his hands ... the intentions were more than clear.

Quickly, Carlos hugged Chico protectively and quickly shook his head, while his face reflected dread. But when Arawn started laughing a little, it caused Mal, Evie and Jay to join the laughter.

While Mal was laughing, he thought how to provoke the tear of sadness, since, although Arawn's idea was good, he knew he was joking ... after all, if someone finds the dog's body, obviously everyone in Auradon would point them out and that way, you can no longer get the wand.

He also thought about how his magical powers returned when they crossed the barrier,on the Island there was no magic, not even a small spark, but once they entered Auradon, she felt like a great energy of magical power entered her. It was so incredible that you couldn't describe it with words. After all, she was half Fairy and half Goddess, and that made her magical powers extremely powerful and overwhelming. And he thought that the same thing happened with Arawn, he must have a great magical power, since it is almost completely magical, because his father is ...

Mal's thoughts were interrupted when the kitchen door opened, where Lonni entered.

"There you are, Mal! I've been looking for you everywhere!" Lonnie spoke happily, as she approached everyone. Arawn quickly drops the knife, and covers the spell book

¨All the girls want you to fix their hair¨, Lonnie said to Mal. Which won a look of astonishment from the aforementioned.

¨Hey, why didn't you tell us that you were a hairdresser? If you later decide to paint your hair, you will undoubtedly take the work of Dizzy's family away¨, Arawn spoke mockingly and sarcastically, which made him Jay and Carlos laugh. Mal gave them a look of annoyance, especially Arawn, but then turned to Lonnie again.

"Midnight snack huh?", Lonnie asked noticing the mixture.

¨What are they doing?¨.

¨Nothing special, just cookies¨, Mal answered the question.

Lonnie then dipped his finger in the dough, and everyone started telling him no. But his finger, already reached his mouth. Everyone was attentive to what he would do, but Lonnie looked confused.

¨What?, I'm not going to immerse him twice, if that's what worries you¨, Lonnie answered as she looked at everyone.

¨Don't you feel strange?¨, Mal asked worriedly that Lonnie discovered the spell, and revealed them.

"Do you feel like releasing a sudden impulse?" Evie questioned.

¨As if something was missing¨, Carlos also said that secretly, he hid the knife that Arawn had taken from the aforementioned. I knew it was just a joke, but better safe than sorry.

Lonnie continued to look at all the confused boys. Jay then used his flirtatious tactics that obviously failed with her.

"He needs sparks," Lonnie said finally as she headed for the refrigerator.

"Chips?" Jay asked confused, but everyone sighed in relief that she didn't detect the ingredients of the Love spell.

¨What do you mean by Sparks?¨, Mal asked.

"Yes, chocolate chips, the most important food group," Lonnie explained to everyone, while bringing a small bowl of chocolate chips. Everyone watched with interest as Lonnie spilled chocolate chips into the largest bowl full of dough and other materials they were making for the spell.

¨Wait, did your mothers never make cookies with chocolate chips?¨, Lonnie questioned everyone, which earned him confused looks and amazement.

¨As when you feel sad and fresh out of the oven with a large glass of milk and she makes you laugh and whispers, I love you¨, Lonnie explained in greater detail.

As soon as she explained, the room became deadly silent. All were open-mouthed, the girls' faces reflected a face of confusion and sadness. Jay and Carlos tried to hide their sadness better.

But Arawn reflected annoyance, even rage, as Lonnie explained how obviously a mother does for her son here in Auradon.

¨Do not you realize that while some have to settle for garbage to eat and know how to survive on the Island, others while they are given food on a silver platter?¨, Arawn thought angrily.

¨Why do you look at me like that?¨, Lonnie asked confused.

¨It is very different from where we are and all the things you just said do not happen on the Island¨, said Arawn firmly, since he realized that the others affected his words a little.

"Yes, I know, but I thought that even villains loved their children," said Lonnie, without thinking of his words. Since he barely mentioned them, Mal, Jay and Carlos looked down. Evie rested one of his hands on Mal's shoulder, as a form of comfort. While Arawn had to put up with saying things not so holy to Lonnie. Obviously villains don't love their children ... well, almost everyone. Since there were some villains who do show some kind of love or love for their children. Clear examples would be; Smee, Dr. Facilier, the Evil Queen, and a few others. But the vast majority of villains only see their children as their future begets and heirs to follow in their footsteps or also see them as mere servants.

Lonnie, realizing how his words affected most young people, was taken aback to discover what life was like for them. His sadness was so great, that even a tear of sadness came out, which began to slide down his cheek.

Mal noticed the tear, which quickly puts a tear in a bowl.

¨Yes, what a great annoyance, but we have to put them in the oven, so thank you very much¨, said Mal, as he began to take Lonnie out of the kitchen.

¨Have bad dreams¨.

¨Good evening!¨, Lonnie replied once recovered from the commotion, and then left the kitchen.

Once it came out. Mal began to order everyone to prepare the cookies. But while they began to bake the cookies, Arawn was thinking about what Lonnie said, what a mother or father does for her son ... and she thought it was stupid. He supposed that the only thing parents did for their actions was to make them weak and more vulnerable to the true horrors of the world. The real world was not a fairy tale as everyone thought it is.

After a few minutes, the cookies were ready, and everyone decided it was time to go to sleep, although it was more Jay who suggested it, since he wanted to be well rested for tomorrow's game. Carlos also suggested to play his game again. Mal just wanted to go to sleep, to implement his plan. While Evie already wanted to leave the kitchen, to finish Chad's duties ...

¨Evie, you are really doing the task to that moron, it is more than obvious that he only uses you¨, Arawn said with his arms crossed, which earned Evie an annoyed look.

¨Chad isn't using me, he just has other duties¨, Evie said as she let out a dreamy sigh when she thought of Chad.

"Other duties? What other duties?" Arawn questioned as he raised an eyebrow.

¨Stuff related to school¨.

¨What is not a school-related task?¨, Arawn questioned somewhat annoyingly, Evie did not answer him and started walking towards his bedroom, and that everyone else had already left.

Arawn stood alone in the hallway watching Evie while shaking her head, she was definitely lost with the moron, he thought.

When Arawn started walking to the room he shared with Jay and Carlos. I see how a window of the school's facilities was open and without knowing why, he went to close it, but when he was about to close it, I contemplate something that left him more than shocked, something that he could not help but contemplate with more admiration. That something was nothing more and nothing less than the stars that shone in the sky. Some may be thinking that it was absurd, but for someone who always lives where you could only see a few gray clouds that formed the barrier at night, and now observe them, see them ... if anyone could leave more than amazed .

Arawn not knowing what else to do, turning all two of the hallway so that no one else saw him, left the window and once outside, climbed what was the roof of the school and right on the roof, adjusting his hood and relaxed , lay down on the roof.

Arawn was relaxed contemplating the stars, and as he watched them, he began to dive into his thoughts.

POV. Arawn ...

The people of Auradon… they are nothing more and nothing less than some complete naive and ignorant idiots… I think it would have been better for me to give my place to Uma, or to Harry, or CJ, or Freddie, or Celia, or someone else "- he thought he with annoyance, and then dive back into his thoughts.

Although something is going well ... my thoughts of the people of Auradon if they are right ... they only think of themselves and think they are perfect before everyone ... especially they think they are superior to those who live on the Island of the Lost ... just not We care.

Everyone speaks that we are a threat to the good of other people, but Beast and Bella did not contemplate that not everyone who lives on the Island is evil, since there are some villains who really did not deserve their banishment; Smee, LeFou, Horacio, Gaspar, King of Hearts, Wiggins, the Baker and many more did not deserve it, especially the last one, since, apparently, falling in love with a "villain", that makes you evil ... also Did children really threaten people? Children?

Ah ... their ignorance makes them not see that there is also evil within them; laziness, arrogance, lust, greed, anger, gluttony, envy ... are undoubtedly the most evil or dark qualities that exist, and the people of Auradon also employ them, especially the children of the most important princes and princesses ... Je , it seems that his King ¨Bestia¨, forgot what it felt like to be alone, forgotten, rejected, discriminated against by all….

So the final question is, for anyone ... who are the real wicked? Those who live on the Island of the Lost or who keep them locked up against their will?

Yes, I know, what a great irony ...

End of the POV. From Arawn.

¨Ah ... there is no good and there is no evil, there is no hero and no villain. There is only the neutral point between both sides. There has to be a balance for both of them to exist, one cannot live without the other ...¨, Arawn spoke loudly while looking at the stars.

¨Wow ... you knew words¨, Arawn jumped to hear a voice almost behind him. When he got up, he noticed that Rose was there, the aforementioned watched him in amazement.

"You ..." Arawn said as he remembered her, he also realized that Rose now had brown leggings.

¨Je, sorry to scare you Arawn, but I realized that you were lying on the roof, and I decided to greet you¨, she replied with a smile.

¨And how…

¨… I saw you? When he realized that he didn't speak to her¨, Rose cleared her throat.

¨Well, see you¨, said goodbye to him, as he went to a certain part of the roof, more specific to the forest ...

"Hey, the bedrooms are on the other side," Arawn said seriously, pointing to the other direction.

¨Je, who said I was going to sleep?, A guest star will play in my favorite place and I'll go see her, will you accompany me?¨, Rose asked as she smiled at him, which earned a surprised look at Arawn.

¨But ... what is not supposed to be out during the night ?¨.

¨Yes ... but I won't miss it for anything¨, she replied as she shrugged, which Arawn raised her eyebrow.

"Have fun ..." Arawn replied as he walked to the window where he came from.

¨Come with me, or is a young villain a chicken?¨, Rose mocked, which caused Arawn to turn annoying.

"Where are we going?", Arawn said through clenched arms, while Rose smiled at him.
