Haalooo and welcome back to LKTV! I'm surprised you're still reading. And very happy that you do so, so thanks! :D

I don't really know what to write here other than to thank you for your support... so uh, let's just jump into the fic! (There may be a tad bit of violence in this)

Last chapter, on LKTV...

"Can you tell me about you and your friend's past?" Audrey asked, as Ben choked on his food. I exclaimed "Woah, slow down there beasty" jokingly as Ben kept coughing. When Ben finally stopped, I said "Sure, I'll start with Evie's I guess"

Chapter 3 [The Past and the Library incident]

Carlo's POV

Evie's past

"Evie had the easiest of them all. She didn't have to go through as much hard work as me and Jay did. Everyday, all she had to do, was wake up, look beautiful, and go to school

The evil queen didn't really know how to cook, so she just let Evie eat whatever she wanted, and somehow Evie didn't get fat lucky for her. Her mother used to tell her every day, as long as she knew how to cook and look beautiful, she'd score a prince, but obviously that was wrong. The worst thing that's ever happened to her, is that some bullies pranked her.

They dumped a bottle of red hair dye on her when she entered one of her classes. It made he so angry she somehow turned her magic mirror into a magic portal into the Nowhere Swamp, where you could get lost forever." I shivered as I talked while eating a chocolate covered pineapple. "I'm never gonna finish this..." I said. Ben then says "Don't worry, we have all day!" happily watching me eat.

Audrey then asked me to continue, and I did.

"She literally sent everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who laughed, giggled, smiled or grinned at her hair. Jay would've been sent there if I hadn't clasped my hand on his mouth.

The hair dye lasted for three days, so the population in and around Dragon Halls were significantly decreased. Can you imagine, looking at a girl whose hair used to be blue, now red? You would laugh or smile and it would be hard to contain. All those poor villains and villain kids, all sent to the Nowhere Swamp. They still haven't been found, to this day." Audrey and Ben gasped.

"Except for Captain Hook's son, he returned with a missing eye , one lost hand, one broken foot, and broken ribs. Me, Mal and Jay were horrified. You can just imagine what happened to the rest of the VKs and Vs in the swamp" I added and continued, "Thankfully, we found one last bottle of her favorite hair dye, Mysterious Midnight Blue and gave it to her, which made her happy and stop her mirror rampage" I finished.

I looked once more onto my mountain of food, now Audrey was taking some fruits and eating it without noticing. Ben then says "Well now I know not to mess with her hair" with a little teeny bit of fear. "Next up is Mal" I said.

Mal's Past

"Mal may be the daughter of Maleficent, but she was treated as if she was the princess of a queen, probably cuz' no one dares to make her or her mother angry. Mal didn't really care much about the other villain kids, other than the three of us cuz' we were all childhood friends." I said while eating the pancakes from my tray, now that I look at it, it looks like I ate through a quarter of the food on it.

"I became friend with Mal when she saved me from a group of bullies. She turned them all into a bunch of toads, after that day me and Mal became close friends. Closer than anyone could ever be with Mal" I said still having the memory fresh in my mind.

"The only thing Mal really hated, was when she's hungry and there's no food around. She'd go on a food raid and curse every living creature in her way. There was this one time Mal was really, really hungry and she couldn't find food around so she went to the cafeteria to get some back food in Dragon Hall" I said laughing and continued "Then some idiots decided to stand in her way. Guess what she did".

Audrey asked, "What did she do?".

I answered, "She cursed every single one of them. Some permanently turned into toads, statues, some turned into lizards. The rest, she cursed them with insanity and temporary body parts dismemberment" I saw Ben shiver, then continued "By temporary, I meant 2 months". Then I saw Ben and Audrey gulped.

"I almost became one of her victims when I calmed her down and brought her some food" I said to them. Then added "Mal may not look like it, but she's an eater. She would eat a lot of food if she had the opportunity to." I laughed while the two royal kids just smiled.

Then I added "The worst curse she inflicted on them was Insanity. The poor villain kids cried, ran around in terror, seeing and hearing things others don't. They saw what no human should ever see, heard what could basically make them go actually crazy. Thankfully the curse only lasted for about 25 minutes. Nobody dared to go near Mal, well except for you know, Me, Jay and Evie" before moving on to Jay.

Jay's Past

"Out of all four of us, Jay places third place on my easiest life list" I said to them. Then I continued "All Jay had to do to get food in his house is steal things and give them to his father. His father would then sell those things and get money. Jay would get food afterwards."

Audrey asked when I started chewing down on the sandwich included on my tray "How did you and Jay met?". I exclaimed "Wow, this sandwich is so much better than the wormy ones we had back on the isle!". Audrey and Ben gasped at my exclamation. Then I answered Audrey's question "I don't remember to be honest. I've been friends with Jay for so long now I don't even remember how we met.

"Jay was a charmer, lots of girls would flock to him during Valentines day, the only day our parents would let us show signs of love. But he had his eyes set on Mal, I don't know if they're still together now thought. Jay was an amazing wrestler, and a cunning and fast thief" I said before finishing my sandwich and reaching for what I didn't realize was the last sandwich, and last bit of food on my tray. I was too focused on Jay's past.

"Did Jay do anything bad in the past, other than stealing?" asked Ben. I said "Well... Not really but..." then I continued "There was this one time Jay tried to steal Maleficent's staff. Of course, he failed. She was gonna turn him into a hamster for 2 weeks as a punishment, but I stepped in and asked to be turned instead, for personal reason of course". Audrey asked when I finished my sentence, "You asked to be transformed instead of Jay even though you did no wrong?" I answered "Yes" as I smiled, then Audrey said "Would you do that for me? Or Ben?".

There was a moment of silence.

Then I broke it by saying, "Of course I would". When I looked at Ben, I saw him blushing, not knowing why, I smiled at him. I got ready to take my tray to the basin where you put all your dirty trays, until Ben stopped me and asked "Aren't you gonna tell about your past?".

Audrey backed him up saying "Yeah, we want to know about your past too"

Initially I was hesitant, but I gave in and told them about my past.

My Past

I couldn't tell them about my past. It was too much, even for me.

I only said "The only reason I was alive before the invitation, was because of the presence of Mal, Evie and Jay. My supporters, my only supporters" I added, eyes getting teary every second. I can tell Audrey was getting teary and Ben blinked his tears, I told them "I was so happy I could escape from that life, and start a new one here, even when I'm not really invited, or wanted". Ben then said to me as he draped his arm over my shoulder "Oh you killjoy, don't be so down! I'm always here for you" and then gave me a smile that could make witches melt.

Audrey wiped away her tears, then tells me in a commanding tone "Don't you ever be sad in front of me or Ben! Auradon is a place of happiness, magicalness and good". I smiled at her, feeling as if the void in my heart has been filled with two new peoples who wanted me in their life.

I exclaimed "Wow, I can't believe I finished my food. I'm going to the library". I said to them before leaving. Ben and Audrey finished up their food and also left.

I went to the library, took out a random book and sat on a corner where no one would see me. I thought to myself, 'maybe being good isn't so bad... maybe I shouldn't give Ben the cookies...' I started reading the book, later realizing it was a book on making decisions.

I read halfway through, when I felt two hands grab my shoulders and yell "Boo!" into my ears. The fact that it was a bit dark and I was alone made it way scarier. I shrieked and fell off my chair. When I leaned up, I saw Ben clutching his stomach laughing.

"Are you trying to kill me, again?!" I yelled at him. He laughed at me, when his laughing fit finally died down, he said to me "I'm sorry, here, let me help you up" reaching his hand out. I gave him a pouty face and said "No!"

"Oh come on, don't give me a pouty face, give me a happy face and take my hand!" he stated. I just sat on the floor with crossing my arms. "No, it's your fault I'm down here anyway."

"Carlos, if you don't take my hands right now, then there will be..." it took him a few seconds to finish the sentence. "... consequences." I said in a childish voice, "No!"

There was a moment of silence. Ben warned me again, "Carlos..." but I just sat on the ground not listening to him, acting really childish. A few seconds later, I felt myself being picked up from my waist, it was Ben who picked me up. He gently set me down on my seat, but I was still pouting so I didn't really bother to look at him. He took the seat next to me, and I turned around to look at him.

For a few seconds, I stared into the Prince's Emerald Green eyes, filled with warmth... I though his eyes were filled with the energy of niceness swimming around... that sounds about right. I uncrossed my arms and just stared at him, taking in all his features. My anger was quickly replaced by love. He asked "What book are you reading?" before picking it up and reading the title.

Ben's POV

The title of the book Carlos was reading was '10 things to consider before making a big decision', that was a long title. I asked the pouting white-haired boy "You making a big decision?", then he answered "Kinda".

I asked "What is it?". He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it later. Then he answers "Nothing.." before letting out a sigh of disappointment. I put my hands on Carlos' hand, feeling the warmth of his kindness. Carlos looked up at me and I melted into his brown eyes. They stared at each other for a few secs, before Carlos decided to get up and bolt.

I questioned myself, 'what did I do wrong?'

Back to Carlos' POV

I can't believe I almost let my feelings surface! Almost. I laid down on my bed thinking about what happened in the library, but my thoughts were quickly replaced by another thought, the upcoming Tourney game.

The games were on Wednesday, which is only 2 days away. I am extremely nervous, I'm up against the son of Charming's team, Chad. They targeted me last time, and they managed to almost get me rejected by the coach. 'I hope my training with Ben wasn't completely wasted...' I thought to myself before drifting off to sleep.

No #cliffhanger for you guys today. :)

Alright so that was a short chapter, mainly focused on the 'past' of the villains. (Maybe not the entire past, just some bits)

Once again, thank you for reading. If I made any mistake, please point it out in a review. Thanks.
