Chapter 6: Tourney and Love Spells

The following Friday afternoon, Mal put a love spell on Ben prior to a tourney game. Diana was pretty excited, since she was getting to watch her son, Carlos, and her baby brother, Hadie, play.

Jason slid his arm over Diana's shoulder. Diana grinned at her twin. 'I'm surprised you didn't join the team,' she thought.

Jason pecked her cheek. 'Tourney's not my thing, the R.O.A.R. program kinda has my interest,' he admitted mentally. 'And after graduation, I might join the Auradon Armed Forces…'

Diana glared. "Jason, you want to help them? After they ripped me out of Mother's arms? Jason, they've kept our family apart," Diana was near tears. "Because of them, Jason, we haven't had Mother!"

Jason hugged his twin tightly. "My Diana, I want to be able to protect you and Maera and Carlos and Reya," he wiped her tears away. "You are a part of me and we'll see Mother again."

Diana nodded and pressed her head against Jason's shoulder. He slid his arms firmly around his twin. She touched his mind, carefully. When she was beaten by many of the other villains, Maleficent mentally tortured him—chaining him up and forcing him to watch helplessly as Diana was beaten and tortured, telling him he'd never save his twin. His pain had nearly destroyed both twins, but it ultimately brought them closer together. "What is R.O.A.R.?" Diana asked.

"The Royal Order of Auradon Regiment," Jason replied, kissing Diana's forehead.

Diana grinned. "Where's Reya?" He asked.

"Donna and Pythia both offered to watch her, they're a lot better than our Isle cousins," Diana murmured.

Jason grinned. "Maybe the four of us should start a club—the Children of Themyscira," he murmured.

Diana lightly punched his arm. "Jason," she murmured. "As fun as that would be, you and Carlos would be the only boys."

Jason's grin widened. "For now…" he countered.

"Jason, what did you do?" Diana crossed her arms over her chest, looking very unimpressed. Despite being shorter than her twin, Diana was the elder by two minutes, and as a result was unafraid to discipline him.

"I'm just saying if Anthony comes over and you sleep with him again," Jason began.

"Sleeping with Anthony is and was a one time thing," Diana hissed. "I wanted to lose my virginity to someone I trusted—which left me with either him or you, and I was not going to have sex with my twin brother, unlike one of our uncles. Reya was not part of the plan, but that doesn't mean I love her any less than her big brother. Anthony and I both agreed on that."

Jason nodded, immediately realizing Diana was referring to their Uncle Zeus who had slept with Aunt Demeter, one of his sisters, and was married to their Aunt Hera, who was another one of his sisters. He pressed his lips to her forehead. "Shall we, my princess?" He asked.

"We shall, my prince," Diana replied, smirking. Jason rolled his eyes. Diana enjoyed teasing Jason, for in addition to being one of the two princes of Tartarus, Jason was also prince of the Amazons.

Despite being Diana's children, Maera, Carlos, and Reya did not hold any royal titles like their mother, due to all three being illegitimate.

During the game, Diana and Jason continued their silent conversation. 'I told Tom and Bruce what happened to me,' Diana admitted.

Jason slid his hand into hers. 'If it makes you feel better for them to know,' he replied.

Diana shrugged. 'Jason, I don't know, I care for them but Reya, Carlos, and Maera have to be top priority for me, I'm confused and I don't know what to do,' Diana replied.

Jason pulled Diana closer, not saying a word.

The game ended, with Auradon Prep winning thanks to Jay, and Ben led a cheer. "M-A-L!" Diana snickered. "What kind of love spell was that, Little Dragon?" She hissed at her youngest sister.

Mal blushed. "R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S," Diana and Jason joined in, as Ben sang of his love for the half fairy.

"It's ridiculous, just ridiculous," Diana smirked at Mal.

Ben then asked Mal to the coronation and Mal accepted. Unable to resist teasing their youngest sister, Jason and Diana cheerfully sang, "Mal's got a boyfriend. Mal's got a boyfriend."

Mal glared at the twins. Diana glared back and ruffled the purplette's hair.

Then Audrey announced she was dating Chad. Diana grabbed Evie's arm. "Trust me, you can do much better than that jerk, E," Diana hissed. "Royal or not, your man's gotta treat you like the princess you are."

Evie nodded. "M, E, later we'll have a Devil's Daughters hang," Diana hissed.

Mal and Evie nodded.
