"There's a change in the air. Mother, from Auradon?"
The wind grew still as the little enchantress twirled her mother's once wand.
"The child of one of those effected by one you did wrong... And so close to Auradon... Perhaps the Beast's son? Or is it something to do with Gaston's child. Did he even- oh wait. I heard he was a womanizer."
The wind kicked up slightly, shaking the leaves as though laughing at the girl's words.
The girl scowled and kicked a clump of dirt, continuing on her self imposed journey to Auradon Prep.
The school of Prince Ben. The school filled with the children of heroes. Not that it impressed her. Sure the school was rumored to be huge, but there was also a rumor floating around in the magical areas of the kingdoms far and wide that magic practices were dying out in Auradon. Case and point, the little rumor of The Fairy God Mother not teaching her own child how to use her magic.
Granted, she had heard Fairy God Mother had married a human man, and half fae did have some difficulties with their magic the first few times, but she was still magical. Certainly she had to have some magic, right?
Freddie rubbed her arm, irritated by all the pricking they had done to her skin. It felt tender to the touch and rubbed her sleeves the wrong way. Her face was contorted into an irritated scowl. She didn't know why they had to prick her. And they had no right to hold her down.
At least they didn't treat her roommate any differently. In fact, Carlos had been especially panicky. He was currently keeping his eyes on the door, waiting for any indication that the men outside were gone. Freddie couldn't exactly blame him. Her dad gave her up young, a little your year old and even handed her some "unsellable" bangles she wore. Carlos wasn't so lucky. Every child under the Isle knew of Cruella. Her violent temper when she caught any of the older children above for bartering, the bruises, the cuts...
Her obsessions.
She had kept Carlos till he was about seven. He never left the under of the Isle. He was too scared of her finding him after he had run away. He had been dirty, bloody, and practically mute for a year or so. Until Mal had taken him under her wing.
Actually, given his current obsession with the door, it would probably make sense he was going to try and escape to search for Mal. Damn. She wished she had been roomed with Jay or Evie. Out of the four, those two were the far easiest to deal with. Jay just had his cousin Jade. Evie was a rare no relation child.
"You think they're gone?" Carlos spoke softly, his eyes briefly darting back between Freddie and the door.
"Psh... Maybe. Look, calm down Carlos. I doubt they're doing anything bad to Mal. Heck, I'm sure she's the one given them hell."
Carlos gave a forced grin then the door began to make noise and open. To their relief, it was a more that familiar face. Though her skin seemed paler and her eyes, dark rimmed, she seemed to be rather well off.
"Mal!"
"Hey Carlos," she said with a wild yet tired grin, "What? No hug for your big sister?"
With that, the two arguably deadliest siblings on the Isle embraced.
Ursa remained silent as the men checked over his body. He didn't like the prodding. But he assumed that when they were done, he would be able to soak again. Being out of the water was effecting his skin, making it itch. Besides, he was a listener. More so than his brother. He was hoping to glean information from the people about just what has happening to all of them. Considering they had all been attacked in their home and yet, nothing seemed too terrible. Then again, he was all alone, without any sign of other Isle children around.
But considering his and his brother's abnormal appearance, he was certain the worst would occur to them, with whatever these people wanted with them.
As it was, he was sure it had something to do with the swirling feeling in his stomach. Since waking on the Isle, he felt, weak, sore and yet an exhilaration of energy welling up from inside. Something was trying to escape. He let out a moan in discomfort and grabbed his abdomen. His legs were trashing and coiling around objects.
"Is he alright?" King Adam questioned nervously. The doctor responsible for the two sea brothers nodded his head.
"He and his brother should see Fairy Godmother. They do seem to be, Ursula's sons. She had quite powerful magic. My guess, is that with the tampering of magic on the Isle, and their quick release, one of them seems to have a deep root in magic. Who knows how many of the children have magic. We'll have to watch them over the next few weeks. The last thing we need is a magic compromised immune system."
"Magic Comprimi- How would that even be possible?"
"Their magic attacks their unassisted immune system. Given that it was forced dormant inside their bodies for an extended period of time, and has only now been allowed to express itself, it doesn't know where to go."
"Is that what's happening to him?" the King asked watching Ursa grow paler.
"I believe so. But his brother isn't having the same reaction so I can't be sure without someone with a deeper understanding in magic. Like Fairy Godmother or Triton-"
"You know we can't have Triton here," King Adam spoke quickly.
"Of course my Lord. But if I may be so bold? There are rumors you invited his granddaughter to Auradon Prep."
"I did. But she is apart of King Eric's Kingdom."
"Right."
"I will give Fairy Godmother a call. I will let you know when she should be arriving."
"Yes my king."
Writers block sucks.
So this is all I currently have.
Eh, let me know what you guys think.
