Riley

It was the night before my flight left back to Corona for the Thanksgiving holidays. Everyone was excited for the week long vacation as well as the autumn ball. Every year there are four balls celebrated for every season. Arendelle holds the winter ball, Belle and the Beast hold the spring ball, Eric and Ariel hold the summer ball and Cinderella and Prince Charming hold the autumn ball. Even though each kingdom holds special parties here and there, the season balls are the most popular.

My phone dinged, it was Carlos.

C: Hey

R: Hi

C: What’s up?

R: Packing, I’m leaving tomorrow

C: Oh yeah

R: Are you going home?

C: No, we’re only allowed to go home once for vacation.

R: Oh so your just going to hang around school

C: Yeah

R: I have to go, I need to sleep I’m flying out tomorrow

C: Bye, night

R: Good Night

I shut my phone off and finished shoving the rest of my clothes into my purple suitcase. I thought back to the night of the “Jakob” incident. Since Jakob didn’t see who punched him in the face, Carlos wasn’t punished. But Jakob seemed to get the hint and seemed to back off. I zipped the suitcase up and put it next to my bedroom door. I slipped on my pink and grey pajamas and slipped into my bed. I turned off my lamp and fell into a deep sleep.

Next Morning

I buttoned up my light brown winter coat with dark brown buttons. I looked at myself in the mirror. My makeup was on, my hair was tied into a low ponytail, and my brown hair fell to my lower back. Underneath my coat I was wearing a dark purple shirt with a black skirt and I was wearing my tall brown boots. I dragged my luggage and carry-on bag out the door, down the hallway and into the elevator. I shuffled through my carry-on bag. I had my room key, school ID, tiara, a book to read on the short flight home, my phone and wallet. The doors dinged open to reveal the dorm lobby. I shuffled out and walked under the gazebo walkway to get the main building lobby. I saw Anxelin waiting for me inside.

“Hey, did the car arrive?” I asked Anxelin when I walked up to him.

“Yeah, what took you so long?” He asked me as he guided me outside to the black SUV outside. The pick-up and drop-off area in front of the Beach House.  A man in a Corona guard uniform took my luggage as well as Anxelins put them in the trunk and then opened the door for both me and him. Another man in a Corona uniform was in the drivers seat. The other man jumped in the passenger seat and we continued on our way to the Rose Royal Airport. The airport was huge; it was a brilliant white with four terminals. Anxelin and I didn’t have to go through the airport. The car drove onto the runway over to a white jumbo jet with a purple tail wing with a golden sun on it. The car stopped by the stairs leading up to the jet. Anxelin got out first and I followed after him,

“Your majesties,” Our castle steward said bowing as we climbed up the stairs and into the cabin. The plane was huge, it wasn’t the giant family jet we took when the family went on long trips but this was our second biggest jet. It was filled with leather light brown furniture. The carpets were a dark brown and the walls were also a tan color.

Later

The flight was pretty quick it was only a half and hour. I threw one of the purple throw pillows on the couch where I was seated at Anxelin who was asleep on the easy chair across from me.

“Hey, get up we’re home.” I said, Anxelin snapped awake and threw the pillow back at me.

“Hello, yourself.” He said as we prepared for landing.

The plane landed and was taxiing on the runway of the Corona Royal Airport. A purple rug decorated with suns was laid out with my parents standing on the end. The plane docked and we were able to get off the plane. I ran down the stairs and hugged my mom. Her short-cropped hair tickled my face; I hugged my dad next while Anxelin greeted my mom. They both looked the same my mom’s hair never grew it was in the same straight brown bob. She was wearing a long light purple dress. My dad was wearing a black vest, white shirt, brown pants and a sash with a large golden sun in the top right corner.

“Hi guys! Was the trip all right?” My mom asked

“Yeah it was good,” Anxelin said. Our parents lead us to the waiting carriage that would take us back to the castle. The ride back to the castle was quiet mostly because we had to ride through the village and everyone was waving at us. When we rode up the left friendship ramp I saw my grandmother and grandfather. They brought both Anxelin and I into a group hug.

“It’s so great to see you two! You’ve grown since we saw you.” My grandmother said. Her long grey hair was tied into an intricate braid. Her golden tiara sat atop of the braids. My grandfather had a short dark grey beard and short dark grey hair. His golden crown sat on top of his head. They both were wearing dark blue outfits, my grandmother in a dark blue dress and my grandfather in a dark blue suit. The guards opened the double doors to the great hall where doors lead to various rooms in the castle.

“Now why don’t you and Anxelin get ready for dinner. It’s going to be formal we’re having guests over.” My mom said, as Anxelin and I headed up the stairs to our rooms.

“Who?” Anxelin asked

“Ben and his family.” My mom replied.

“Yes!” Anxelin rejoiced Ben was one of his best friends. I smiled our family was really close to Ben’s. Ben was like my second older brother, his other brother Marc was in my grade but I didn’t talk to him that much. The person who I was really close to was Isabelle, Ben’s younger sister who was only ten. I was like her older sister and she was like my younger sister.

“Do we have to wear our crowns?” Anxelin asked

“Yes, it’s a formal event.” My mom said. “Long dresses too Riley,” She added. Anxelin groaned and walked up the stairs as I scampered behind him.

“This night is going to be fun.” I said as Anxelin and I walked down the hallway to our bedrooms together.

“Yeah,” He said as we arrived at our bedroom doors. I opened my French doors decorated with silver crescent moons and Anxelin opened his decorated with bronze suns. Since I was the second child and born at night I was given the symbol of the moon. Anxelin however was the oldest and born during the day had the symbol of the sun but it was bronze instead of golden because my mother’s symbol was a golden sun.

“See you,” I said as I entered my room and shut the doors behind me. My room was rectangular shaped and the walls were painted a dark purple. My four-poster bed with light purple bedding was against the far wall of my room between two floors to ceiling eight-foot windows. My bathroom and closet doors were at the left wall and the doors surrounded also by floor to ceiling windows, that lead to my balcony were on the right wall. My bookshelves were against the walls closest to my door. My desk was placed next to my bookshelf on the right as well. A table with fresh flowers was placed in the center of my room while my white Chaise was placed near my balcony door against one of the windows. I sighed and walked into my closet even though my closet at school was nice mine was even better. The room was almost as big as my room. The walls were painted white with a touch of purple. Everything in my closet was color coordinated and organized. I had four sections in my closet and a space in the middle where they intersected. I named the sections north, south, east and west. In the north section I had my princess dresses and also my everyday dresses. In the south section I had my everyday shirts and some fancy ones as well. In the east section I had my skirts and pants, and in the west section I had my shoes, jewelry, and my vanity with my hair suplies and makeup. In the intersection I had some ottomans and couches where I could lay out my outfits. I walked over to my evening dresses and picked out a dark maroon dress. I put it on my ottoman and continued to pick some shoes, jewelry and a tiara. I picked up some tan wedges, and a diamond bracelet with matching earrings. I decided to wear my crescent moon necklace that I wore everyday and my traditional tiara. My tiara was similar to my mother’s but it was made of crystals. It had the three points on the top and had loops of crystal vines that lowered and lowered as it neared the ends. There was also a tiny crystal flower in the center of my tiara representing the flower that gave my mother her healing powers and also mine and Anxelins. I decided to take a long hot bath before the guests arrived.

I struggled to get my shoes on; the guests were to arrive in only ten minutes. I already had my makeup, dress, and jewelry on.

“Riley let’s go!” Anxelin said banging on my door.

“I’m coming!” I said running to get out the door. I threw open the doors and saw Anxelin standing there in a black suit, purple tie, black shoes and his gold crown with a dark blue jewel in the center. Anxelin and I walked down the stairs to wait for our guests to arrive. When Anxelin and I got to the first floor of the castle, our parents and grandparents were already there along with our castle steward. All of a sudden trumpets blared and the red front doors opened. The first to enter was Isabelle; she ran into the hall and tackled me to the ground in a big bear hug. She was wearing a light rose-colored dress with white lace and decorated with silk roses. She wore tiny pink heels with bows and her hair was curled and tied halfback with a white bow. Marc entered second in a brown suit and blue tie; his face was in a book but stopped momentarily to bow to my parents and grandparents before heading into the parlor to continue reading. Queen Belle and King Beast entered after Marc. Anxelin helped me up and we both bowed as they walked over to us and then over to our parents. Ben walked in last with someone walking beside him.

Evvie

“Why won’t she pick up her phone?” I asked aloud. I was sitting in the woods by the magic river. I was trying to text Mal who hadn’t answered me all day. Carlos was skipping stones along with Jay, they were seeing which one of them could get the farthest. It was the thanksgiving holiday and the villains had to stay on the school grounds well minus Mal who convinced that brat Ben to take her with him for a couple of days. So for the day it was just the three of us. Back home the four of us would hang out all the time because our parents were close friends.

“She’s probably just busy.” Jay said throwing a stone.

“Seven! Beat that puppy boy!” Jay said with a smirk on his face. Carlos picked up another stone.

“Evvie!” I heard someone snap behind me. I turned to see red smoke swirl around and take the form of my mother.

“Mom!” I said getting up off the ground.

“Eight! Eat your words snake boy…” Carlos’s insult trailed off as he turned to see my mother.

“Your majesty,” both Jay and Carlos said bowing.

“I want an update, it’s been two months since the last one. What have you been doing all this time?” My mother said, looking at me with a mixture of anger and curiosity.

“Just working and gathering information.” Carlos said quickly, all of a sudden the smoke changed taking the shape of Maleficent.

“Where is Mal? I need to talk to her. “ She said in her cold tone

“She’s out on a special assignment your going to have to talk to her yourself.” I said my mother and I had a frenemy relationship with Mal and Maleficent. My mom felt like she should be the head of the villains not Maleficent and I supported her.

“Tell me where she is.” Maleficent asked me,

“She’s…”

Mal

“Ben are your parents alright with me staying at your castle?” I asked him “You know because I’m sort of the daughter of Maleficent?”

“Why wouldn’t they be?” He said. Ben and I were taking a private car to Ben’s castle. Since Enchanted Academy was located in Ben’s kingdom we only had to take a car. Ben, his brother Marc and I were waiting for the car to pick us up at the front of the school.  Marc looked like a little version of Ben but more nerdy. He wore thick black glasses and always had his face in a different book everyday. All of a sudden a stretch limo pulled up decorated with Ben’s family crest. A guard came out of the front of the car, walked towards the end of the car and opened the door at the end of the car for us. Ben let me go in first and I climbed in. The seats were made of black leather, the windows were tinted, there was a snack bar on the right side, and a television in the gap that separates us from the drivers.

“Who are you?” I heard a small voice from the end of the limo. There was a little girl with dark blonde hair sitting in the seat closest to the TV. She had her hair in a ponytail with loose curls and a yellow ribbon. She wore a yellow sundress, with a white sweater and white flats.

“Izzy this is Mal, she’s going to stay with us for a few days.” Ben said climbing in after me. Ben sat down next to the girl and I sat next to Ben. Marc sat at the far end of the limo away from everyone else.

“Do mom and dad know?” Izzy asked looking me up and down. I must be a culture shock to her. I was wearing fishnet stockings, a black leather skirt, a purple tank top, purple combat boots and a black leather jacket. I also was wearing spike bracelets and my charm bracelet with a lone dragon charm. My hair was long and curly and in it’s normal purple color.

“Mal this is my little sister Isabelle.” Ben said to me

“Hi,” I said

“Why is your hair purple?” Isabelle asked me

“I..I”m not sure.” I said, “I was born with it.” I finally said after ten seconds of uncomfortable silence. Isabelle shrugged and continued babbling to Ben. I looked out the window and thought about the last couple of months. Ben and I started getting closer and closer but we understood that we could only be friends due to our parents being enemies. I continued spying on him and learned some of his darkest secrets. He was allergic to bees; he can’t stand the cold as well as other things. I convinced him to let me spend the holiday with him and his family for three days and then I had to stay at the school. Did I also mention I had to wear a tracking device? No? Well I have to wear an ankle bracelet just incase I run away.

“Mal!” I heard Ben yell, I snapped back into reality.

“Yeah” I said a little surprised,

“Izzy asked you a question.” He said

“Oh, sorry Izzy.” I apologized

“You can call me Isabelle.” She sassed,

“Sorry Isabelle, what was your question?” I asked her.

“Why are you dressed like that?” She asked.

“I like it,” I said simply.

“Oh, we’re home!” Isabelle screamed. Marc looked up momentarily but continued reading. The entrance had two columns made up of brown and grey stones with two lamps at the top and a long wall extended around the castle and it’s garden. The gates were made of black iron, and the pathway was made of light grey brick. Ben’s castle was huge it had multiple towers, the whole castle was made of white brick, the roof was red and blue and yellow banners decorated the front of the castle. I saw a woman in a long yellow dress with brown hair tied into a bun with a tiara on the top. There was also a man in a blue suit with a golden crown. He had short strawberry blonde hair and looked a little like Ben. The driver pulled up and Isabelle climbed over Ben and I to get out the car door. Ben shoved Marc out the door and let me go third. Isabelle and Marc were already talking to their parents but when Belle and Beast looked up at me their faces fell.

“Did your parents know I was coming?” I asked him

“Well no,” he said “But I’m the king and I can make my own rules.” He said confidently.

“Well I’m going to be king…after my coronation.” He said his voice trailing off. Ben explained to me that once he turned eighteen in June he would be crowned king and his father already stepped down from the throne. The parliament now ran the country for the time being.   

“Ben,” Belle asked, “Who is this?” She had a polite smile on her face.

“This is umm…” Ben trailed off

“I’m Mal,” I said. Ben grabbed my hand and led me into his castle. We walked through the large black wood front doors. The grand entrance was a long hallway made of dark wood with stain glass windows showing the classic story of Beauty and the Beast. The rugs were blood red decorated with miniature roses. We arrived at the friendship staircases leading to the upstairs.

“Your highness,” I heard a man say behind Ben and I.

“Jonathan,” Ben greeted him. Ben turned to me,

“Jonathan is our castle steward.” Ben said.

“What’s a castle steward?” I asked him.

“I forgot you grew up on the island. Castle stewards help around the castle and tell us our events and stuff.” He said

“Oh cool.” I said

“Jonathan can you please lead Mal to her room.” Ben said turning to Jonathan.

“I have to go talk to my parents, I’ll see you in a minute.” He said walking back down the hall.

“Follow me.” Jonathan said as he led me up the stairs to the third floor. When we reached the third floor I was practically out of breath. He led me down a long hallway, the hallway started at the top of the stairs and looped around the square room. The right side of the hallway opened up so someone could see downstairs staircase. Another staircase leads up to the fourth floor on the left side of the hallway. Jonathan led me to my room on the right side of the hallway.

“Ben is in the middle of the hallway, Marc is on the left side by the door over by the stairs, Isabelle is on the left side of the right hallway and you’re on the right side of the right hallway.” He said opening the door to my room for me.

“Thank you,” I said. Jonathan shut the door behind me. I looked around my room, It was dark blue, circular and floor to ceiling windows. In the left corner there was a door leading to a closet next to it was another door leading to a bathroom. There was a four-poster bed with white bedding in the corner of the room. There was also a reading corner, bookshelves, balcony with view of the gardens, and a sitting area with leather couches. I heard a knock at my door, Ben walked in dressed in a blue suit with bronze buttons and a white button down shirt.

“Why are you all dressed up?” I asked him.

“Change of plans.” He said walking over to me.

‘We’re supposed to have dinner with the Fizhurberts tonight and we all have to go, including you.” He said

“That’s great, except I don’t have anything to wear.” I stammered

“You can borrow this,” Belle said from the doorway. She was standing there in a fancy yellow dress with her hair in the same hairstyle as before. She was holding a simple yellow dress with crystals embroidered in the fabric. I walked over to her and took the dress; it was beautiful I had never worn anything like it.

“Thank you,” I said. Belle half smiled and walked out. Ben walked out too,

“We’re leaving in five minutes, I’ll see you downstairs.” He smiled and shut the door. I quickly put on the dress along with my chunky black wedges I packed. Thankfully the dress covered my feet, I wore the purple amulet my mother gave me for my thirteenth birthday. The amulet was a solid purple stone held up by a black chain. I also wore my black chain ring with another purple stone and my charm bracelet. I tied my hair up into a high ponytail as I walked out my bedroom door. As I reached the great hall I saw Jonathan who opened the front door for me.

“Thank you,” I said, as I was lead to the car that was going to take us to the Fitzherberts. My breath was taken away when I realized we weren’t taking a car, we were taking a jet.

The plane was huge; it was dark blue with a yellow tail. I was escorted up the stairs where Beast greeted me. He shook my hand and leaned down close to my ear.

“We know who you are, any funny business or if you hurt my son I will end you.” He whispered, I slowly nodded and took my seat.
