Chapter two: Meadows and flowers.

Titania was completely tired. She has been traveling for months occasionally calling Evie to see how Jay is doing. Sure she might leave him for almost killing her but that doesn't mean a part of her still thinks he is innocent. Maybe she wasn't the good best friend? Maybe she didn't take the right action to prevent him from Mal's gang. Who knows. For now she knows Evie is not horrible as her mind states. Evie says Aurodon is the perfect place to turn over a new leaf. Now and then she asks to join but Titania politely declines every time. She cant be good when evil is eating her from inside.

Titania traveled the world the past year. Seeing all the worlds seas. Seeing that Triton is not the only 'king' of the sea. Some Kings have more vast oceans than him. More powerful than him. If her mother married one of the kings it would have been much easier. She can fool them and gain the crown. Kill the king and blame it on a group of servants. Titanias brain is full of tactics on how to grain a crown. These tactics have been in her mind all these years but it only grew a lot within the past year. As she grew older she felt more and more magnetized towards the crown. Its powers. The feeling of being on the top. Owning everything in the land. Humiliating the kings family. She wanted to do all of them.

Titania knows the difference between right and wrong. She knows her thoughts are completely wrong but she feels like it's more in the gray area. It is downright wrong but at the same time she deserves power. Who is more fit to rule than her? She has learned anything and everything about a monarchy. How to deal with it, the costs, the people. She isn't a complete fool like her mother, thinking she could be a queen right of the bat.

Titania made her last stop of her adventures at the Lost library. After this she will be setting of to see the pacific ocean and make the prince Cozart fall in love with her. The rest will be history. To do this she needs the potions locked inside the lost library. If he doesn't fall in love with her she could literally make him fall in love with her. Its basically the same thing. Just. Like. That. Her mothers dreams will be in her hands and she can finally be adored. Feared. Be a queen. Her mother did atleast something right, leaving her most valuable potions with her daughter.

Walking into the library was meeting an old friend. The friend haven't changed at all. Maybe grew a bit older. But you have completely change. Your thoughts and actions are different. You used to talk to them everyday and was completely interested in their stories. But now its just skimming the pages trying to find the right books to use. Not interested about the new shell they found in the beach or a pretty flower. All you want is collect her weaknesses and use it to raise your status. Titania felt doing this was wrong. Her mind was blaring with the siren noises but chose to ignore it.

The books became more dustier than the year before. Light hitting the library making dust look like snow. This used to be her happy place. After finding those potions it would become nothing. It would become something she would want to avoid for the rest of her life. The innocent little girl immersed in fairytales will be finally getting the fairytale she always wanted. A prince. A dream come true. All for one little price. Having a fake life.

Her eyes wondering through the books. Each story flashing through her brain. Each hero, princess, villain all was clearly seen in her mind. "Goodbye." She quietly whispered. This will be the last time she sees her friends but a peculiar voice interrupted her goodbyes.

"Titania? Is that you?" Titania turned around to see Jay. He was covered in dirt from head to toe and had probably grown taller and more older. "You look nice. Back for the books?"

"Not really. They are useless. I'm here for some potions. I need to… regrow a dead coral." The lies only grew. Titania just stood there waiting for Jay to answer.

"I didn't know you cared about the planet. I checked your potions out. Nothing there makes dead corals regrow. Though there are some love, death, fungus ones." Jay shrugged.

"You messed with my stuff?"

"Not really. Just cheacked them out. You know finding new things is in my blood."

"Ofcourse. Who knows you better than me right?" Titania says sarcastically.

"Titania-"

"Stop it Jay. You've hurt me. That's all that is to this friendship we used to call. Now excuse me while I plan to take over a kingdom." Titania pushed Jay aside and tried to find where the potions were hidden. She would ask Jay if he wasn't so annoying.

As usual Jay always wanted his point to be taken across. He took Titanias hand to give at least one chance to listen to what he has to say. She agreed only if he tells her where the potions are.

"Look I'm sorry. I have been quiet… 'horrible' towards you these past years. Humiliating you. The scars. Everything. A year ago me realize that I changed. I wasn't the sweet kid who wanted to show you the bright side of the world. Instead I showed you the dark side. Also Its not like I joined the gang because I wanted to. I'm not Jay the son of Jafar. I'm me now. I'm Jay the….. I don't know.. son of Jay?" Jay gave a nervous laugh.

"Jay the son of Jay." Titania giggled. "What do you mean you actually didn't want to join?"

"Well… To protect you, I had to do something.."

Jay ran around the dark alleyways trying to find Titanias house. He recently found a stone that could be used as paint if they mix it with water. He knew Titania loved to paint but she couldn't afford the complete pricey paint sets and she wouldn't dare use the ones he steals. Finally they can paint green meadows with sunny skies Titania always dreamed about. He was completely excited to see her reaction.

Before he turned the corner he stopped in his tracks. He was very shy infront of people so he doesn't have friends. But he knows who to be friends with and who to avoid because of Titania. Mal was one of them and she was on a pedestal instructing her two minions on another plan.

"Titania is our toy. But what do we do to toys we don't need?"

"Burn them!" Evie yelled.

"That's right Evie. Titania has become no use to our amusement. Her reactions are the same. We need to take this to the next level!"

"Can I skin her?" Carlos asked. "Mommy would really likes lavender skin."

"You can do whatever you want with her dead corpse. But if Carlos wants her skin we can't burn her alive. It wont be lavender anymore." Mal took a moment to think. "We can stab her. Sure there would be some blood but I'm pretty sure some water can help clean it off."

Jay stood silent. They are going to murder her. He needs to stop it.

"Wait! Please don't kill her!"

"Whats in it to you chump?" Evie asked annoyed.

"So she could die on her own and that precious skin would rot in a dump?" Carlos asked. "Its rare. It would be nice to see behind a glass box. We shouldn't waste it."

"Shut up Carlos. State your name and who is your parent." Mal steps towards Jay.

"Jay the son of Jafar!" He says proudly.

"You are a guy? With that voice and hair you could beat snow white. Oh wait. You aren't white and my mom is the fairest of them all. Sorry not sorry." Evie laughed. Followed by Mals. Carlos just looked angry.

"We are killing her!" He shouted. "You can do nothing about that! I'm finally going to make my mom happy and you are not going to be in my way!"

"Shut your mouth Carlos. If he is so desperate to save her, I want you to join us." Mal smiled. Her signature wicked smile and purple her distinguishes her as the leader.

"Wh-at? So we are not getting a dead corpse?" Carlos exclaimed.

"How many times does Mal have to repeat to get it in your head? Her words are final. Which is sad. I wanted to peel those nails of her skin. I could glue them onto mine. I know, beauty is such a pain. To others."Evie laughed at her own joke.

"Evie is right again. Carlos keep up. Jay need someone like you in our gang. I have been observing you since you came here. Your stealing skills are better than any of us. If you join us, in return we will spare her life. As Evie said. My words are final." Mal held out her hand. "What do you think? Jay the son of Jafar?"

"I…" If he joins this, it would totally ruin the bond between him and Titania. But it will save her life. He didn't really need to think about it. Ofcourse he wants to save her. No matter what. "I accept. As long as this doesn't change who I am, I am fine with it."

"You… Why do you have to be good Jay?" Titania asked. "Why cant you be evil? Why couldn't you let them kill me? The world would have been a lot better." She hated herself for wanting the crown. But she needs something to make her forget her past. All this time she was blinded by the crown to know that she hated herself for doing it. Seeing Jay be good triggered who she really was.

"Am I hearing things right? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"Maybe? Who knows. Why are our reunions like this? I thought we could just hug and be friends. But can black and white be friends. Can you be friends with a monster?"

"As long as the monster is you, I'm fine with it."

"Smooth. Jay you are being the best you can be. I am not. Not at the moment anyways. I need to do my shit so I can feel happy."

"You know you wont feel emotions once you are dead."

"Not dying. I'm going to go and marry Prince Cozart of the Pacific Ocean. Kill the king and be the queen there. I will live to the full potential of happiness I can gain. I'm hoping I would be happy."

"Titania. You are so naïve." Jay chuckled. "In the end, every lie would be revealed and you will be in the full potential of sadness and guilt life could give you. I don't want you to be in that position. I want you to be happy. Not in a way that the world will turn upside down with the wrong move."

"As long as I feel a second of happiness. One second. I'm fine with it." Titania said firmly.

"Then let me show you what happiness is." Jay took her hand started to pull her to the other end of the library.

"What are you doing Jay?" Titania asked as they stopped in front of the back door.

"I'm showing you what happiness is. Now open the door."

Titania hesitantly opened the door. Her eyes widened as she saw what was outside.

"The meadow we drew. The pink flowers… The tree.." She looked back at Jay astonished.

"Only half of is done. They yellow flowers wont bloom till next week. This is why I am a bit dirty. Come. I also made a swing!" He pulled her along the small garden full of pink and occasional red flowers.

Titania felt actual happiness. Every little argument was nothing compared to what he has done right now. He wasted his time to find happiness for her. "Thank you. Thank you so much Jay." She says tearing up a bit.

"Thank me after the swing ride. You might fall because no one really tested it yet." They walked towards the tree. Vines wrapped around the swing making it look like a fairytale. She felt like a princess.

"Look I might not be a prince but this is the best I can do. So, do you forgive me?" Jay asks while slowly pushing her high up in the sky.

"I do. Now join me Jay! We can be birds soaring through the sky!" Titania giggled. "I'm the queen of this jungle!"

"I thought you were a bird." Jay asks joining her.

"Birds can be queens Jay. Birds can be queens."

Yes this was quite quick. Tell me a ship name for these guys. Tay? JaTi? Jitania? I'm horrible at this. Thank you for reading this. I might write more of these two in the future but for now school starting soon so I cant. Bye.
