Evie looked around her before she ran from the cover of one alley to another. She was almost there. A few more minutes and she was staring at Hell Hall. Home of the infamous Cruella De Vil and past home of her son and Evie's friend Carlos De Vil.

Now if Evie were lucky the fur obsessed woman wouldn't be home, though she couldn't really say she had had much luck lately. The fact that she actually had to sneak into Hell Hall at all a good example of her bad luck recently. Checking one more time to make sure the coast was clear Evie ran across the street and to the back door. She opened it slowly and as quietly as she could possibly manage.

She tip toed in and closed the door behind her just as far so good. "You heard it sweetheart. EQ says Evie's back on the isle" and it looks like Evie's luck had just ran out. She sprinted down the hallway when she heard Cruella's voice coming closer to her. She ran around a corner and leaned against the wall, praying that Cruella would walk right past her.

Evie didn't dare to even breathe. Apparently someone was looking out for Evie because Cruella walked right past her still talking to the stuffed dog wrapped around her neck and was none the wiser that the very girl she was talking about was in her own home. As soon as she was out of ear shot Evie sighed in relief and continued back the way she came from and made her way too Cruella's closet. A.K.A Carlos's 'bedroom'. If it could be called that. The isle boy had a mattress in his mothers closet and, far too new of an addition, a pillow Evie had given him not long after they first met.

Evie couldn't help but shudder as she passed the first entrance to the closet. The one with the bear traps that had nearly taken her ankle off. She couldn't get far enough from that door.

out of the room, down the hall, two rights, a left, and there she was. She opened the door and slipped inside the small room. She couldn't help but sneer in disgust at what Carlos had to live with for so long. Evie had to focus though, she had to find the machine and get out.

She turned the place upside down but there was no sign of it anywhere. She looked around at the mess she had made and felt a little bit of satisfaction. Evie even ripped one of her fur coats just for the fun of it. She wasn't planning on being anywhere near here when she saw it but there was still a chance she would hear the shrieking from halfway across the island.

As amusing as that would be Evie was losing hope fast with no sign of the machine. She was about to give up and leave when she thought of something. Carlos wouldn't leave something that important in here where his mother could find it. He would leave it somewhere she would never go. Like the place the two of them had used it for the first time. With just a smidgen of hope left Evie left the house as quickly as she could and made her way around to the backyard to one particular tree.

She walked around the base of it until she got to the ladder. the bluenette climbed up and pulled herself into Carlos's tree house lab. Evie's face immediately lit up. Sitting there on the table right in front of her was the very machine she came looking for. She ran for the familiar machine and picked it up. She turned it around in her hand examining it.

It looked like it needed some work done on it. Nothing major but there was some damage from not only their adventure with it but just from sitting up in a tree house for so long. Evie had no doubt she could fix it herself in no time but she needed some tools for it. Luckily for her she knew just where to go and lucky for her they didn't open to the public for a few more hours. Evie, with the machine securely under her arm, slid down the ladder and made her way to Lady Tremaine's beauty salon 'Curl Up and Dye'.

She had a favor to ask Dizzy.

Evie had just turned the corner and began walking down the alley away from Hell Hall when an ear piercing shriek. Evie laughed evilly. It sounds Like Cruella just saw her coat closet.

Sometimes it was pretty good being bad.

Evie made her way through the isle like she owned it. She ran this place with the others before they left and now that she was back, for however long that ma be, she was going to remind the who was in charge. That's how this place works. That's how you survive here. Time let out her wicked side.

She walked between two people who were talking and pushed them aside and out of her way. 'You gotta not care' and as long as Evie got off this isle she didn't care what it took.

'Curl Up and Dye' came into her line of sight and she let herself in and looked around, spotting a certain glasses wearing villain kid. Without looking up from her work she spoke. "We open at midnight come back later."

"Aw, you can't even make an exception for me?" Evie asked fake hurt in her voice.

Dizzy looked up to see just who she was talking to. she squealed.

"Keep it down!" Lady Tremaine shouted from the top floor.

"Sorry grandmother!" Dizzy called back before she launched herself at Evie. "I thought you would have been gone by now! Where are Mal and the others?" she asked looking around for them. Evie smiled at the girl but flinched slightly at what she said, a pang of hurt hitting her.

"Well I was supposed to be gone but there was an... incident. The others should be back in Auradon by now but my mothers followers grabbed me just before I got in the limo we took to get here. I was going to the front so they didn't realize I wasn't inside and the boy driving didn't know I was going up there."

Dizzy looked at her in shock. "Evie I'm so sorry." Dizzy held on to her tighter. Dizzy knew just how much Evie hated it on the isle, Dizzy herself hated it almost as much.

Evie took a moment to compose herself before talking again. "It's okay. I have a plan to get back but I need to borrow some of your tools. I just need to be out of here before you open at midnight."

"Of course, whatever you need!" Drizella's daughter immediately agreed.

"And Dizzy, I promise, as soon as I get back I'm going to make sure I get you off this island too." they hugged once more, tears leaking from Dizzy's eyes. She wiped them away and lead Evie over to her work station where Evie set down Carlos's machine and looked at the tools around her. She had just under an hour to fix this thing. She had to get to work.

Thirty-eight minutes later Evie wiped at her brown and put down the screwdriver she had been using. "Done." Dizzy looked away from her own work, she had been making some more accessories, and at Evie.

"Does that mean you're leaving now?" she asked the older girl.

"Yeah but I'll see you again soon." Evie smiled and hugged Dizzy before picking up the machine and leaving the salon. Evie wasn't going to wait on the sideline anymore. As soon as she got back and saw Ben she would make sure to start getting these kids out of here.

It was just after midnight when Evie made it to the edge of the isle closest to Auradon. Now she just had to hope her plan worked accordingly. It would be hard and exhausting but she had the determination to swim back if that was what it took. She was just lucky that Ben had insisted they all learn ho to swim. After a couple mishaps in the beginning Evie found out she was a pretty good swimmer once she got the hang of it.

Evie set the machine up on it's side so it would blast the hole at a height she could reach and turned it to face the barrier.

She did one last check on all the wires before switching it on. It took a minute to gather energy an warm up. Unfortunately in that time Evie had gained a two man audience.

"Well, well, well."

"Well would you look who it is."

Evie spun around and came face to face with Gaston junior and Gaston the third.

"Looks like the little traitor's back."

"And she's all alone."

Before Evie could even think of what to do all three of them focused on the machine still sitting on the ground as it started to spark uncontrollably. That definitely did not happen last time. Suddenly the machine exploded into a million pieces and the blast it let off sent the three VK's flying back.

Evie groaned and looked up, the hole in the barrier was there but as she stood the two Gaston's blocked her path, not even noticing the big gaping hole in the magical shield around the isle. Just as thick headed and oblivious as their father.

"Now where do you think you're going?" one of them asked, Evie never bothered to learn which was which.

"Yeah what's the rush?" the other said as he made a grab for her arm. Evie avoided him but they kept coming closer to her.

"Get away from me!" she demanded. They ignored her request. "I said get back!" Evie threw her hands out in front of her and a blast of magic knocked the Gaston brothers back away from her. They looked at her in terror before running off.

Evie's eyes were wide and as she looked at her hands she realized she was shaking. Shaking her head and snapping herself out of it she stood and ran to the barrier as it was beginning to close again. She was farther back than she had planned due to being thrown back when the machine exploded and to her horror closed just in time for her to run into it.

"No!" she screamed. Her last chance to get herself off the Isle of the Lost was gone. She sunk down to her knees and banged on the barrier in anger. "No, no, no, no, no" tears were streaming down her face now. Then the reality of what just happened hit her. Not missing her chance to escape, she was very much aware of that already. She had just used magic.

She didn't even know she could do that but for the few seconds the hole was open magic was allowed onto the isle and she had used it. But why could she never use it before? Never even thought it possible. The only explanation she could come up with was either the explosion of the machine had something to do with it or her anger had unlocked magic she didn't know she had inside her.

The more she thought about it she realized that that may actually be the reason. She couldn't ever remember being quite that angry. She had gotten close to it before sure but this was a new level. She was so close to getting off this dumb rock and those two idiots ruined it. They kept her from getting back to her family.

Evie felt something stirring inside her now. The anti magic around the island prevented her from using it again but she could definitely feel it.

Now Evie started to panic again. She was doing that too much lately.
