I don't own Descendants, just the ocs

The limo pulled to a stop. Elle popped the door open and slid out, glad to be out of the limo's confinements. She was not, however, prepared for what awaited her when she took her first step on Auradon soil. There was a huge crowd, gawking at the villain kids like they were oddities in a zoo and a marching band. A marching band, seriously? Elle cringed. She also looked for someone who could make it all stop.

In front of the crowd were three people Elle recognized from the TV, Fairy Godmother, Prince Ben, and a princess that might have been dating the prince, Elle wasn't sure, she didn't pay that much attention, but she thought her name might have been Abigail, daughter of Aroura, who was actually Briar Rose, ugh, Elle hated keeping people straight, like why should she care about their gossip.

"Beasty boy, do you mind?" Uma asked, pulling even more attention to the small group. The future king signaled for the marching band to stop. Oh, thank god.

"Beasty boy? He has a name you know. It's Ben, Crown Prince Ben." The princess next to Prince Ben snapped.

"I know. I just don't care." Uma replied. Elle shook her head before clearing her throat.

"Perhaps we're getting off on the wrong foot. We're just a little overwhelmed with such a large greeting." Elle spoke formally. It was what she did when all she wanted to do was distance herself from the conversation. It also didn't hurt to be diplomatic in this situation.

This time it was Fairy Godmother who signaled something, the dispersement of the crowd, leaving only herself, Prince Ben, the princess, and the villain kids. It sounded to Elle like the start of a bedtime story, she just hoped it didn't have a bad ending. Fairy Godmother turned back to the kids from the Isle. She smiled which Elle honestly shouldn't have found as frightening as she did. "Hello dears, I am Fairy Godmother, headmistress here at Auradon Prep." And she was so cringey and happy. "Here you will have a curfew of midnight with the library closing at eleven and are expected to follow the rules." She said that like they weren't expected to follow the rules on the Isle, they were the rules were just a different sort, the Isle rules were basically just opposite Auradon rules. "You've already been signed up for your basic required classes and remedial goodness, taught by yours truly."

"What does a fairy know about goodness?" Harry asked.

Fairy Godmother stared at Harry, as if amazed and shocked he'd ask such a thing. "Fairies are beings born of goodness and light." She said indignantly.

"Really? Maleficent's a fairy. Elle's mum is a fairy." Harry pointed out. Elle didn't think now was the time to point out. She really didn't think her mom was one of the fae, but she might have been, she and Elle never really talked about where the Enchantress's magic had come from.

Fairy Godmother huffed, turned on her heel, and bustled away. Oh, this was not good, not good at all. Fairy Godmother was going to be guarded around them now. Now how the hell were they supposed to steal the wand? Elle wasn't completely convinced it was locked away in the museum like Uma said.

Prince Ben stepped forward looking surprisingly calm for someone whose entire plan was collapsing down around his ears. "I hope this will be the start to mending the relationship between our two lands." He said in the voice of a king addressing his people as he shook each of their hands.

"The only way to mend the relationship between the Isle and Auradon is to bring the barrier down." Uma answered.

Ben frowned. "I can't do that. The villains are there for a reason." He replied.

"And their children are just left to rot."

The princess, who Elle still wasn't sure of a name for apparently got tired of Uma's and the prince's back and forth because she grabbed him by the arm and dragged him away, forcing Elle, Uma, Harry, and Gil to follow. Ben kept talking, about Auradon and his plan for the villain kids, to eventually bring all of them over. It was an interesting plan, but Elle felt that his core premise was flawed.

The group stopped in front of a statue of the king. Prince Ben clapped his hands and the statue morphed to a statue of a beast. All four of the villain kids moved a step closer together, preparing to fight, to defend. Ben didn't miss the motion and neither did the princess. "Don't worry, only Bennyboo can change the statue." Based off the nasty look she shot Elle, Elle was ninety percent certain there was a double meaning directed at her.

"Couldn't anyone change it with magic?" Gil asked.

"Magic is basically retired here." Ben answered. Well that didn't make any sense to Elle. On the Isle people didn't use magic because they didn't have a choice. How the hell could the people in Auradon just give that up?

"That's right, we're just regular people whose royal blood happens to go back generations." The princess chirped. Oh, dear gods, if she kept that up and Elle might just consider violence. Elle, at least according to Isle standards was a pacifist. Elle thought that was the wrong word. After all she would defend herself and had been dragged into plenty of scrapes because of her friends, she just never struck first, it wasn't in her nature.

Finally, they reached the entrance hall of the school. It was there Prince Ben and the princess went a different way, though the prince had said something about leaving them in the capable hands of Kuzco who had appeared at the top of the staircase when the group had entered.

Kuzco was taller than the girls with longish dark hair and disinterested eyes. He wore a red sweater, jeans, and white sneakers. "Yay me, I get to show the new kids around." Kuzco said sarcastically. Elle laughed, she didn't think people in Auradon even knew what sarcasm was let alone knew how to use it.

"Ah, don't fret, all you have to do is point us in the direction of our dorms and we'll do the rest." Elle assured.

"And face Ben's wrath because I let you get lost and ruined his trial run? No thank you." Kuzco replied.

"Wrath? He's a teddy bear." Uma protested.

"Well that's certainly one description for him." Kuzco yielded. Kuzco led them up a flight of stairs and down different corridors until he finally stopped in front of a dark wood door. "This is the boys' room." He said. Elle froze. They were being separated by gender? That meant Elle and Uma were sharing a room.

Out of the four of them Uma and Elle were the least close. Elle was only around Uma really because of Gil and Harry. "You'll be fine." Gil assured Elle with a smile. Why did his smile always make Elle feel better?

Uma, Kuzco, and Elle left the boys to unpack with the promise to meet up later. Kuzco led the girls to their room and told them how to get ahold of him if they needed any help. Uma shut the door behind the door and scowled at the inadequate lock. "Who keeps these crappy old-fashioned locks?" She demanded. It was the kind of lock that everyone on the Isle knew how to pick.

Elle frowned at the lock. It was nothing like her locks at home, then again while everyone on the Isle locked their doors Elle took it to the extreme. "Maybe this is the chance to practice our magic then." Elle suggested. She was a little worried about using magic, but she had to. To get rid of the irritation of not using it and finally having it at her fingertips. Elle turned to the door and wiggled her fingers. In her head, she was thinking about all the locks in her room. She took those thoughts and the magic inside her and pushed them out through her fingertips, aiming them at the door. She jumped back with a yelp when gold sparks shot from her fingertips and hit the door. A multitude of locks appeared. "It works." Elle said in amazement, shooting a smile at Uma.

Uma took this information in stride. She closed her eyes and dipped into her own pool of untapped magic and thought of all the things that would make the icky princess perfect dorm feel more like home. The golden shell necklace she wore, her mother's which she had tracked down and Gil had helped her put back together, glowed.

The sheer pink curtains turned into heavy blackout curtains and every pastel in the room was replaced by its darker counterpart. Uma opened her eyes, not quite satisfied with her work, but it would do for now, especially because they weren't staying.

Elle smiled and dropped her bag on the floor next to the bed she'd claimed and then flopped on the bed. It was so comfy. "Don't get too comfortable. Once we get the wand we're gone. Ben thinks he can change us, but we're not going to give him that chance." Uma declared.

And Elle's bad feeling was back again.
