《Watch and Learn》Chapter 2
Advertisement
The screen lit up softly as a reaction to the Blue Fairy's wand while at the same time, the lights dimmed as to allow for a more suitable and relaxing viewing atmosphere.
That's not to say everyone was relaxed. Both the kids from the Isle and the people of Auradon tensed up, expecting the other to attack now that their visibility was lessened.
A voice from the screen drew their attention back to the film they had been brought to watch.
"Mal, is that your voice?" Evie whispered. Mal nodded, unsure as to why she was narrating this film. Ben, though, seemed to perk up at the sound of his girlfriend's voice.
Though they hid it well, a few of the citizens of Auradon chuckled at the line. However, it wouldn't do to be seen laughing at something a villain had said.
"Wait, you didn't have a honeymoon?" Ben asked, turning to his parents in shock.
"We had one later," Belle told him, shooting a loving look at her husband. "We needed to set up the kingdom first and iron out any of the bugs. Then we took a tour of the kingdom."
"Your mother longed for an adventure," Beast added on. "Though, let's get back to watching."
"Hey! We're interesting!" Audrey exclaimed, irate about the insult.
"And not all the side characters were booted off, if so my dad would be on the Isle!" Doug pointed out.
"Yeah about that," Evie turned to him, a small glare on her face, "he helped murder my mom and yet Dopey's considered a hero. My mom only puts Snow White in an enchanted sleep and she gets sentenced to the Isle of the Lost."
"She tried to have the huntsman kill her!" Ferdinand exclaimed.
"Wait until the movie is over, then you may have your debate," the Blue Fairy quickly intervened before the conversation grew too heated to control.
Several of the teens gasped upon hearing that there was no wi-fi on the Isle. Mal couldn't help but roll her eyes. If that upset them, they wouldn't last an actual day on the Isle.
"Oh Benny-boo, you look so regal!" Audrey squealed while Mal covered her face so no one would see her smirk. It wouldn't do to make enemies in a place you couldn't escape.

"Benny-boo?" Belle asked, raising an eyebrow. "Tell me Ben, does Mal have any pet names for you?"
"Nah, she mainly just calls me that if she's teasing me," Ben told her, shooting a small smile toward Mal.
"Great, ruin my rep with your parents Benny-boo!" Mal called over to him.
"See?"
Belle couldn't help but smile at their antics. Clearly there had to be something about this girl that they just weren't seeing. If she was all villainous, her sweet boy with a heart of gold wouldn't be dating her.
Ben flushed as Chad and the other guys on the Tourney team laughed. Thankfully, he noticed Jay was one who did not. Maybe he was just trying to not draw attention to himself but no matter the reason, Ben was thankful.
"Uh, didn't you marry Belle when you were 28?" Prince Charming asked.
The look on Belle's face told all who looked at it that she still was not happy about that little 'joke'.
"I think you're going to drive him crazy with all that moving around," Mal said with a chuckle.
"Yeah, I'm kinda antsy when I have an idea," Ben told her with a sheepish smile.
Mal looked over at Ben in shock. She thought this had been part of her mother's plan—that Maleficent still had some pull over in Auradon to allow them the chance to leave the Isle. But knowing it was Ben's plan somehow made what they were planning to do all the more worse.
"Honestly, they should feel like that," Audrey scoffed. "They're villains."
"They're children," Lonnie snapped back. "They're our age Audrey. Tell me, what world shattering act of good have you done lately? Broken any curses?"
Audrey gasped but didn't react in any way. Lonnie sighed as none of the kids from the Isle met her eye. She knew she had a lot to make up for since she was one of the ones who didn't speak up for them when Queen Leah was making her scene.
"We don't need your help," Jay scoffed and Carlos rolled his eyes.
Ben frowned at the slight flinch Carlos gave at the mention of his mother. Even though the children were villains, they shouldn't flinch at the sound of their parents. Right?

Jay couldn't help but frown as Aladdin wrapped an arm around Emir as if to protect the boy from his father. Or himself. So much for the team being a family huh?
Evie ducked her head to avoid looking over at Snow White and her prince. She didn't want to see the glares again.
"Why thank you your highness," Mal smirked. "I'll pass your complement to my mother."
Ben couldn't help but notice that the smirk didn't quite reach Mal's eyes.
"Yeah I mean the so-called heroes certainly have a little grey in their system," Jay muttered to Mal. "I mean, say what you want about my thieving, at least I never pretended to be a prince like Aladdin did. You take that away, we're exactly the same."
"Guess that doesn't matter to the lovely royals of Auradon," Mal scoffed.
"Mal," Evie shook her head in amusement.
"What? I had to make sure Shrimpy and Hook didn't make their way back into our territory," Mal smirked.
"Who's Shrimpy?" a small raven haired girl spoke up and the two girls paused, as if realizing there were other people who could hear them.
"Uma," Mal said after a few minutes. "Daughter of Ursula."
"Oh," the raven hair girl said and looked over at an older red-haired woman who Mal assumed was her mother. Meanwhile, King Beast looked shocked at the state of the Isle. It hadn't been that bad when they set it up!
Ben looked over at Mal, unsure of what to say. Did that still make her glad or did she see there was a different path? He just wished he would ask her without all these people hearing it.
"Why not?" someone asked. A few people looked over at them in shock, including Jay.
"Cause he steals everything that's not nailed down," Carlos told them, smirking as he ducked Jay's headlock.
"Oh the poor thing," Snow whispered. She would have thought that Grimhilde would have shown some love and compassion to her own daughter.
Aladdin couldn't help but wince at that—knowing what it was like to be judged by those around you based solely on your background. But still, they were the kids of villains. You had to be careful.
"You girls have some lovely voices," Fairy Godmother commented. Evie beamed while Mal seemed to brush off the complement.
"You know, they're not really hurting anyone," Mulan whispered to her husband. "They're just normal teens."
"True, but remember who their parents are," Shang whispered back. "We have to be careful."
Mal wouldn't admit it but she was thankful that non of the kids from 'bore-adon', as she used to call it, had actually called her a schemer or a freak. Though that might have been due to Ben's glare at his ex-girlfriend.
"They should have known better," Evie giggled, talking about the couple who got their tea pot taken from them. "If it's not bolted down, it's yours for the taking Jay."
"Hey, they get their stuff back," Jay shrugged. "They just have to go to my dad."
"Our monthly amusement as the guys who were left would compete over who would get your attention next," Mal chuckled. Doug couldn't help but frown—would that happen to him if he pursued a relationship with Evie?
"Mal!" Evie flushed. "You know that happened to all the decent looking girls on the Isle. We had to mess with them to avoid them messing with us. Well, except for you. No one dared to mess with you."
"You mean no one messed with my mother," Mal said with a frown but then shook her head, as if remembering where she was.
"Impossible with this crowd," Carlos muttered to Jay.
"Oh my," Belle gasped at the number of villains dancing with the four of them. That was a much larger population than she had expected.
A few citizens of Auradon began muttering to themselves about how the children weren't doing anything particularly evil. In fact, a couple of them pointed out that they had engaged in musical numbers in their youth.
"Well, that was interesting to say the least," Belle commented, a small smile on her face as she braced herself for the next scene. Her husband, though, was still shocked at how far the Isle had fallen. When they had created it, it was fine. Granted a little run down but nothing as bad as they'd seen.
"Are you ready to continue?" the Blue Fairy asked.
"Might as well," Mal shrugged.

The Shattered Circle
Aleyr Frostborn has survived a hundred prophecies of her defeat, breaking each one by slaying the champions of light sent to kill her. Amongst the forces of good, her very name is a curse, and with good reason. Beyond her own evil, it is said that so long as she lives, the reign of the Godslayer himself will last: the lich king who the terrified masses call the King in Black. While the kingdoms and empires that surround the blighted lands of the undead lands struggle to survive and beat back the tide of evil, the machinations of the Eternal Kingdom's dark court barely contain the bitter struggles for power between the forces that have made it what it is. With one foretold hero brutally snuffed out, another will inevitably arise. For Aleyr, the cycle only further embitters her towards the gods of good and all those who serve them. But the truth is that her downfall might be something much closer to home than their prophecies, those last dregs of mortality beating inside her own chest. With a thoughtless intersection between cruelty and mercy, she begins a chain of events that threatens to tear the Eternal Kingdom and her own loyalties into shreds. After all, many things can be broken, not just prophecies.
