chapter 12

Hope pov

Today was the day of coronation and it was the day we were gonna steal the wand and make our parents proud of us but if I was being honest part of me didn't want to.

Part of me wanted to stay in auradon forever and be with Ben and my friends. I wondered if the others felt the same way.

Either way the show must go on

(Hope's coronation outfit)

Hades pov

The day had finally arrived that hope would steal the wand and set me free

Me and the other villains were all gathered around the TV watching the coronation unfold

At last, here we are, broadcasting live from the coronation where Prince Benjamin will soon be crowned king! I'm Snow White, bringing you up to the second coverage of who's the fairest of them all. Snow White said as EQ made a face

"I'm snow white." Who are you kidding? She's definitely had work done. EQ said

Oh, Fairy Godmother is looking radiant. But what is happening with Jane's hair? And there is Fairy Godmother's wand. Snow White said as I looked at the wand with great interest.

I want that wand! I said

Do you? Hadn't heard. cruella said

Oh, and here comes Ben now. Snow White said

Hope pov

Don't be nervous. All you have to do is sit there and look beautiful. No problem there. Ben said as we rode in the carriage together

Thank you. I said

Hope, Will you wear my ring? Ben asked

Um... not now. I think it would probably just fall right off of me. I have something for you. I said handing in the brownie I made with the anti-love spell in it

For me? Ben asked

Yeah. It's just for later, you know, when you need strength. Some carbs to keep up your energy. I said

Always thinking. But I can't wait. Ben said opening the box and putting the brownie in his mouth in one bite

No! I said as he chewed

Mm. Mm... Mm! This is really good. Ben said

Uh, do you...i started to say

Hope? Ben asked

Do you feel ok? I asked

You bet Ben said

Would you say that you're still in... that... that you have very strong feelings for me? I asked

I'm not sure. I mean, let's give the anti-love potion a few minutes to take effect. Ben said

Yeah... Okay. What? What? You knew? I asked nervous

That you spelled me? Yeah. Yeah, I knew. Ben said

I'm... I can explain myself. I said

No, look, It's fine. I mean, you had a crush on me. I was with Athena. You didn't trust that it could happen on its own. Am I right? Ben said

Yes. You're so right. So, then, how long have you known? I said going along with it

Since our first date. Your spell washed away in the Enchanted Lake. Ben said

So then what? You've just been... Faking it since then? I asked

I haven't been faking anything. Ben said

Hades pov

Well, If it isn't...EQ said as we saw hope sitting next to the prince all dressed up

My daughter. Looking like some kind of...Princess! I said

Well I wasn't to surprised. Hope is technically a princess of the underworld since I was king

Now, let's see who this beauty is wearing. Evie. Snow White said as EQ got all excited

Evie! That's my dau... evie! EQ said

Someone named Evie designed her gown. Snow White said

That's my daughter! EQ said proudly

Oh, wow. She sewed a dress. Meanwhile, my girl duped a prince, and she's this close to grabbing the magic wand. I said

Bitter, party of one. Bitter, party of one. EQ said

It's happening, people! It's happening! I say, gird your loins! Gird your loins! Villains, our revenge begins today. I said

Hope pov

About the other day, I just...i said once we met Ben's parents at the door of the church

I told Ben this wasn't going to be easy. Beast said

You also taught me that a king has to believe in himself. Even when it isn't easy. Ben said

I did? I... how very wise of me. beast said

Ben, we are very proud of you. You keep listening to your heart. belle said

Thanks, mom. Ben said with a smile

You're gonna make a fine king. beast said

Wish me luck Ben said as I smiled at him

Hades pov

Don't blow it, kiddo. I said watching the screen

Do you solemnly swear to govern the peoples of Auradon with justice and mercy as long as you shall reign? fairy godmother asked the young prince

Oh, grab the thing already! I said getting quite annoyed

I do solemnly swear. Ben said

Then it is my honor and my joy to bless our new king. fairy godmother said as I saw who I thought was hope grab the wand

Yes! I said as I felt the barrier shake and come down long enough for me to use my ember to excape

Hope pov

Child, what are you doing?! fairy godmother said looking at Jane who had grabbed the wand

If you won't make me beautiful, I'll do it myself! Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Jane said as the magic was out of control

Take cover beast said as I went over to where Jane was

Careful, Hope! Belle said as I took the wand out her hand

Hope, give me the wand. Ben said

Stand back. I said

It's okay. Ben said

Ben, I said stand back! I said

I told you so! Barbie Athena said

Don't start with me Malibu Barbie I said as my friends come over to me

Hope you don't have to do this Annabeth said

Yeah I do. I said

No you don't Ben said

We have no choice, Ben! Our parents...i said

Your parents made their choice. Now you make yours. Ben said as I looked at him

I think I want to be good. I said

You are good. Ben said taking a step towards me

How do you know that? I asked

Because... Because I'm listening to my heart. Ben said

I want to listen to my heart, too. And my heart is telling me that we are not our parents. I mean, stealing things doesn't make you happy. Tourney and victory pizza with the team makes you happy. I said looking at Jay

Yeah Jay said

And you, scratching dude's belly makes you happy. Who would've thought? I said as Carlos held dude

And Evie... You do not have to play dumb to get a guy. You are so smart. I said as Evie smiled

And I don't want to take over the world with evil. It doesn't make me happy. I want to go to school. And be with Ben. Because Ben makes me really happy. Us being friends makes me really happy. Not destroying things. And hanging out with my cousins Annabeth and Percy makes me happy too. I choose good, you guys I said as Annabeth and Percy came over

I choose good too Jay said

So do I. Evie said

So, just to be clear, we don't have to be worried about how really mad our parents will be? Because they're gonna be really, really mad. Carlos said

Your parents can't reach you here. Ben said

Okay, then. Good. Carlos said as we smiled at each other

Suddenly the room became dark and the candles turned into a blue flame

Oh no I said

I'm back! the voice that I knew all to well said

Dad.
