Evie checked herself once more as she stood next to-whatever his name was waiting for the servant to open the door. Lifting up her mirror more, she ran another hair down the side of her hair to ensure that all flyaways were caught and tamed.
"You may enter now."
Evie made sure to walk in first ignoring the boy as he thanked the help. 'If all works out I might have to settle for him. God, I hope he isn't always this pathetic.' Evie felt her eyes grow in wonder at the decorations of the formal dining room, ignoring completely as the boy appeared beside her. "This is beautiful. When I get my own castle I will definitely ask for Queen Belle's interior decorator."
"Aunt Belle does all of this herself with Uncle Adam being forced to move it whenever she thinks something doesn't fit." the boy chuckled out.
"Smart woman. A man should always make sure his Queen is happy. Now where is everyone?"
" Beware, forswear makes me as noticeable as my purple hair ."
Complete utter fear was the only thing Evie could feel as she locked eyes with those dark brown eyes. Part of her had known growing up that she was always afraid of Carlos but she never allowed herself to dwell upon it. Why because Carlos was always her friend through the rain, snow hell even fire that happened on the Isle. It was always easier to be afraid of Jay or Mal because they scared people even those who didn't know them.
Carlos was different.
Carlos De Vil had a different level of anger in him that not even Maleficent dared to touch on a bad day. The boy seemed so sweet, innocent and weak but Carlos wanted that. He wanted to see so small in the world because if he let the real version of himself out it would have a different effect on everything.
Carefully Evie took a step back only to run into a body. Glancing upwards she locked with the boy who had brought her here, the one who set her up.
"Did I not mention we had extra company?"
Carlos made sure to smile sweetly at the fear in Evie's eyes. "Mal make her sit like the good girl she is."
"With please. To be fair, to be true, follow only the commands I give you. Now sit the fuck down."

Carlos looked every part of the next royal consort as he sat beside an empty chair, his hand seeming to rest upon something but Audrey saw nothing there. The son of Cruella De Vil sat at the beginning of the dining table together with several empty chairs alongside the table but none of that mattered to her. Though she could not fully shake the feelings that she was surrounded.
Audrey was more focused on the smug look on Carlos' face. 'How dare he sit in her seat. Looking so fucking smug in her face, her face! She was Princess Audria 'Audrey' Rose, daughter of the fucking THE Sleeping Beauty Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip Rose! She was above him in every aspect and yet the fucking mutt had the nerve to look at her as if she was less!'
"Didn't your parents ever teach you it's rude to stare. Take a seat."
"Didn't your demented mother teach you that dogs don't sit at the table."
"No…she was too busy skinning them. Have some manners, why don't you, Audrey. Sit."
Audrey scoffed at the mutt. 'He thought he was going to damn something from her. As if.' "I'll wait for Belle and Adam."
"That's Queen Belle and King Adam to you."
"Funny I guess you haven't you heard. I'm going to be the Queen of Auradon and the first thing I am going to do is send you & those pathetic freaks right back to where you belong. So enjoy this because this is the last time you will ever be allowed this type of luxury again. I'll make sure to tell Ben bye for you when they drag you out like the trash you are." Audrey made sure she smiled sweetly at the end of her sentence but for some reason Carlos seemed to relax more as she spoke. Her eyes did note that his hand seemed to be squeezing air from beside him.
"And what makes you going to be Queen?"
"Because I am. You see here, you might have been able to pull some magical freakish shit to make Ben think he loves you, make him ignore me, make him think that you're his happily ever after and I'll even give you a B plus for effort; but let me clean something up for you. I am Princess Audria fucking Rose daughter of Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip, my happily ever after is written in books. Why? Because I will be getting happily ever after and I will only accept the best, which is Ben. You are a second, no wrong, third class pathetic son of a crazy demented bitch with no father. You don't get happily ever afters not while I'm still living."
"Ahh so that's why you did all this. Teaming up with Evie & Lonnie to ruin my relationship with Ben and Jay with Chad because you think we don't deserve happily ever afters."
"Oh please. I could care less about the petty thief. He can keep Chad, he is a fucking idiot anyway. I didn't make Lonnie do anything she didn't want to do and if she happens to take the fall that's just a minor inconvenience."
"What about Doug? Evie kissed Al in front of him. Was that just a minor inconvenience to you also?"
"Haha please. That girl is desperate to be a princess. She'll kiss a frog with it promised her a crown. Besides Doug getting his feelings hurt was an added bonus if you think about it. The son of a dwarf with a future King even if it is just Agrabah, that is lowering the standard why too low."
"So why do it? Why cause all this because we're lowering the standards?" Carlos demanded but Audrey was already smiling as if she had won it all.
Audrey chuckled, "Is this supposed to be you confronting me? You? Don't make me laugh. Now, this was cute and all but I have better things to do." Audrey made sure to give Carlos a last look as she made her way to the door. Yanking on the handle the girl paused as the door seemed to remain unmoving. "What the fuck? Open this door." Audrey announced, trying to get whoever was on the other side to pull the door open for her. Taking a step back, the girl stared at the door feeling her eye start to twitch as another moment passed and it stayed closed. Turning on her heel Audrey glared at Carlos who was still sitting at the same seat waiting. "Open this fucking door right now or I will hurt you."
"Ohh I'm so scared. What are you going to do, throw a nail filer at me?"
Audrey didn't waste any time as she came back slamming her hands down onto the table ignoring the way it seemed someone jumped near her. "You do not want to test me right now De Vil."
"But I do."
"I will fuck you up."
"Do it." Carlos made sure to lean forward as he spoke those words. His eyes wide filled with lowkey excitement almost as if he was daring her. Taking a deep breath Audrey raised herself back up, she was princess and arguing like this with a peasant was below her.
"You want to know why I did all this."
"I'm pretty sure I know why but if you want to explain, the floor is yours."
"Fine. I didn't actually plan any of this originally, however I don't mind taking the credit."
"Then who did? Plan all of this?"
"Your good friend. Evie Grimhilde."
BCDV*JCC*BCDV*JCC
Evie wanted to scream.
How could Audrey be so fucking ignorant to not notice them. She knew Mal had turned everyone invisible, but the girl had to know something was up, especially with Carlos being the only one at the table in front of her. Could she not tell it was all a trap or was she just that fucking stupid.
She tried to move but she couldn't fight the spell Mal laid on her. Besides even if she did get the chance to move where could she go with Al, Chad and Tarik (apparently that was the fucking boy's name) all sitting near here watching her. Maybe she could-
"I hope you know once all this is over even if the Florians think Audrey manipulated you and Lonnie that won't save you. Even if you get on your knees and beg for another chance that won't save you either. I am going to personally deliver you back to the Isle even if I have to drag you by your fucking hair." Evie flinched. Turning her head slowly she realized it was Doug who had just spoken the words to her with a blank look.
She had forgotten all about Doug until he had cut off her thoughts. The girl opened her mouth only for no words to come out. Doug wasn't even looking for a response, he was the one who suggested the spell to stop the girl from speaking just, in case she tried to warn Audrey. "I tried to understand your point of view, I really did but then you lost your mind. First, you turned your back on our friends because of your own selfish desire. Second, you partner up with two girls who you know are jealous and desperate to ruin my friends' happiness. Then lastly, you kissed my Al. I'm not a violent man but if you ever try that again I will smack the blue out of your hair."
"If I don't first."
"Doug. Alhaadi." Queen Belle warned from her position across from Carlos. Evie felt herself breathe a sigh of relief only to stiffen up as she found the Queen's eyes upon her. "You'll get a chance after we handle Audrey first."

"Evie came to us about everything once you and Jay revealed your relationships. She particularly gave us everything we needed along with suggestions."
"You and Ben broke up way before we got together. Hell Chad didn't like Lonnie, he was pressured into it so why encourage her?"
"Lonnie is a good girl but she is weak, okay. I might not like her as a friend, but not everyone is a friend, some people are just steppingstones. Lonnie is one of them. Her chasing after Chad would have gone either way. She could have pressured him to get back with her after getting Jay thrown out or Chad would have completely turned his back on him after Jay got thrown out."
"So either way Chad would have tied down to her making her loyal to you because you helped get them back together or making him desperate so the only person he would rely on would be Ben. And if you made Ben get back with you then Chad would start to rely on you too."
"Exactly. Stepstone."
"How were you going to get Ben back? He dumped you."
"I know. Belle doesn't, beside Ben's a teenage boy and a beast. He has urges. I'm a girl, his first girlfriend and the longest relationship he's ever had who would be better to comfort him when gets his urges then me."
Carlos let his face faked confusion before realization. Audrey smiled more brightly at the look, "You were going to fake being pregnant. Making Queen Belle and King Adam arrange a marriage between you and Ben."
"It would be horrible if the news found out that Ben, the future King of Auradon had a baby with his former girlfriend and was not willingly to step up to the responsibility. Who knows how that would affect the royal family."
"And with Ben tied to you now. You could suffer a miscarriage or even get pregnant for real this time."
"Smart puppy."
"What's to stop me from telling everyone? Queen Belle? Ben?"
"You broke up with Ben because you are insecure which means you and Jay have been hiding from Ben & Chad. Suddenly popping back up on his life isn't going to do anything without raising suspicions. Even if you and Mal go to the Belle, I doubt she's going to believe two people who have hurt her son either by breaking his heart or using magic on him to control it. I grew up with Ben. The Florians have particularly raised me like I was their own, now who is willing to betray family. Beside who would Belle believe more a princess or a villain."
"You're right. Let's ask her."
" Beware, forswear makes me as noticeable as my purple hair."
BCDV*JCC*BCDV*JCC
There weren't many things that caught Audrey off guard but watching everyone appear from nowhere, made her take a full step back. Her eyes scanned all the faces from Mal with her bright green eyes, Ben's sneer to Chad's bold glare, Lonnie's embarrassed face before settling upon Queen Belle's blank stare.
Audrey knew at that moment she was done. There was no logical or magical way for her to get around her confession just now by any means. She had no more plans, tricks or lies to tell.
She was done for it every way possible.
Straightening up Audrey made sure to keep her posture perfect. If she was going to go out, she would go out like the princess she is. Turning her head to Carlos, "You planned this?"
"No. I did." Queen Belle announced. King Adam moved immediately, giving his wife his hand as he helped her to stand from her position beside Carlos. Audrey felt her mouth dry up as Queen Belle moved gracefully to stand before her with an empty look upon her face. "I will admit you had me fooled for a moment then you slipped up. While yes, I might not know enough about my son, but I do know you, Audrey. A girl like you would never get pregnant by accident. You have been planning to be Queen your whole life and a child this quickly would ruin that, something you would never allow to happen even accidentally."
"If you knew I was lying, why go through all this? Punish me?"
"I wanted to see the look on your face when you realized you had lost. Guards!"
Audrey didn't have time to move as the royal guards came rushing into the dining room grabbing her arms immediately. Audrey began to struggle, trying to wiggle out before attempting to bite one of the arms of the men only to have her hair gripped yanking her face forward. "Let go of me! I am Princess Audrey Rose! Let go of me right fucking now!"
"Do not forget Evie and Lonnie too." Queen Belle ordered quickly. Mal had taken her spell off of Evie the moment Queen Belle had stood up, however the daughter of the Evil Queen was too frozen at the scene to notice until the guards yanked her from her seat. Lonnie didn't bother fighting standing up with the guard who grabbed her arm pulling her towards the doors. "Take them to their rooms until it's time for the boat."
"What? Wait!"
"Wait! No! I cannot go back!"
"Are you sending us to the isle?"
Belle moved to take back her seat only pausing to stare at Lonnie who whispered her words almost on the verge of tears. Maybe before Belle would have felt something but now all she felt was disgust. "Yes. You three plotted to ruin both Ben and Chad's lives simply because you felt that you thought you knew better. There are consequences to your actions, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Now get them out of our sights. I doubt any of us would be able to enjoy our dinner with their presents." with those words Queen Belle waved the girls off ignoring the shrieks, screams and pleads.
Once she settled into her chair, Queen Belle waved her hand as the food began to arrive filling the table. "Now let's eat."
King Adam moved first, filling his plate completely unphased at his wife's boss woman moment. Ben, Al, Jane and Chad along with the rest of the Charmings filling their own plates. As the food began to shift around did the rest of the table slowly join in, Mal sending looks at Jane who waved her off as a normal everyday occurrence. Chad had taken it upon himself to make Jay's plate, settling the food in front of his partner as his parents and the Florians began chatting about future plans. Doug was poking Tarik trying to convince the other boy to give him the roll off his plate despite having not touched his own. Al was simply watching but lowkey giving Tarik an annoyed look to just give up the roll.
Carlos still felt like he was waiting for the other shoe to drop. For a few minutes, all he could do was sit there and look around. "That's it? Audrey, Evie and Lonnie are gone just like that?"
"For now, yes. Auradon is a democracy not a dictatorship so they will be given a trial before receiving any punishment. We also have to inform the Li's and Rose's about this before it becomes public news."
"Public?"
Ben must have heard the waver in Carlos's voice as he reached over grabbing both of his baby's small hands in his own hands. "Baby I am the future King and you if you still wish to be, you will be my husband sitting on the throne next to mine. Audrey, Evie and Lonnie tried to ruin that, since I cannot touch them physically, I'm going to ruin them publicly until they beg to go to the Isle."
"With me!" Chad added.
"I don't care as long as I get to watch the blue haired demon cry." Al pointed out.
"You're willing to do all this for me?"
"I love you Carlos De Vil. I am willing to do anything for you."
"Okayy so if this gets any mushier, I'm going to puke-oww Jane."
"Sorry about her."
Carlos laughed leaning against Ben's shoulder, "I love you too."
"Good because you're kinda stuck with me now."
