XXXII: I'm going

*chapter inspired by (Scarletraven13) cause she's the best. Go read her book 👹*

Priscilla halted in the doorway, eyes narrowing at the sight of Carlos and Jay hurriedly packing their bags "Going somewhere?" she asked, her tone laced with confusion

Carlos, caught off guard, jumped up at the sound of her voice "Priscilla!" he exclaimed, a mix of surprise and guilt etched on his face "Carlos!" She mocked his surprised expression

As she stood in the doorway, still perplexed, she gestured to the item in her hand, "I came to return this" She raised the item for both of them to see, she slowly puts the item on the table beside the door "but you're obviously busy.."

Her gaze shifted between the two boys as she sought an explanation for the sudden flurry of activity "So, spill it. What's with the packing?" she inquired, a hint of suspicion coloring her words, her eyes squinting at the two

Jay, attempting to play it cool, started "You know... just guy stuff.." Priscilla nodded her head at his words and pursed her lips before smacking her lips "Right..." She drags the words, her eyes goes between the guys once again "What exactly are you up to?" she asked, a wry smile playing on her lips

Undeterred by Jay's attempt at deception, she turned her attention to Carlos, her expression growing more serious "Alright, Carlos, spill the truth. What's going on?" she demanded, her arms crossed over her chest

Carlos hesitated, exchanging a glance with Jay "We're going to the isle.." he admitted, Priscilla's eyes widened in disbelief "The Isle? Are you guys crazy?" she questioned, stepping further into the room

"Mal returned to the isle" Carlos began explaining the reason for their impromptu journey "We're guessing that she and Ben had a argument or something for her to go back" Priscilla, now with hands on her hips, listened intently, her eyebrows furrowed

"And who's all in on this grand adventure?" she asked, suspicion evident in her voice. Carlos hesitated once again, "Oh, you know... Me, Jay, Evie...and Ben" Priscilla shook her head, clearly miffed that she wasn't informed earlier. Her eyes widening at the mention of Ben

"Ben? Wait a minute. Hold on. When were you planning to tell me about this?" she demanded, a mix of frustration and disappointment coloring her tone. Carlos, realizing his lapse, mumbled about leaving a note

Priscilla sighed, rubbing her forehead in exasperation. "A note? Seriously?" she remarked, looking around the room as if searching for an explanation. Determination flashed in her eyes as she turned back to the boys. "Well, I'm not letting you go without me"

Carlos immediately shook his head, emphasizing the dangers of the Isle. "No! No, It's too risky, and you don't know your way around," he argued. Priscilla, with a raised eyebrow, fired back, "And suddenly, Ben does?" She maintained a stern glare, unwavering in her decision

Jay attempted to interject, suggesting Priscilla could be useful. Carlos shut him down with a firm "shut up," redirecting his attention to Priscilla. "You're not going," he declared

Priscilla, with her glare intact, asserted, "Then you're not going without me" Carlos faltered, attempting to reason once more "I have backup, and I know the way," he insisted

With a sarcastic grin, Priscilla replied, "Great, then you can be my guide." She knew she had him cornered, and Carlos, reluctantly, gave in with a defeated "fine, fine" He eyed her clothing attired "But you're going to have to change"

As Priscilla agreed to change, a determined smile played on her lips "I already have something in mind," she said with a bit of excitement before sharply turning around and leaving the boys dorm with a skip

The anticipation lingered as Carlos and Jay waited by the limo for Evie, Ben, and Priscilla to make their way down. Soon enough Evie came out from the door and lead Ben with her down the steps to the limo where the other two boys were. Both Ben and Evie coming out in blue isle of the lost outfits

Ben had gold studs, beast claw slashes and Blue beanie and Evie has red and gold gems. Carlos wore his spike studded white, Black, and red leather jacket and red shirts with black boots with Black fingerless gloves. Jay put on his Red and Blue pants and sleeveless Yellow, Red and Blue leather jacket with his iconic beanie. Priscilla's figure was still not on sight making the four wait even longer

As the minutes ticked by, Jay couldn't help but inquire about Priscilla's whereabouts. He turned to Evie, "Where's Cilla?"

"She's on the way" Evie assured them that Priscilla was on her way, she looked down at her phone and nodded in confirmation

Impatience crept over Ben, who began tapping his feet. Suddenly heels hitting the ground was heard making everyone tense thinking that they were gonna get caught by fairy godmother or someone else. Relief washed over everyone as Priscilla descended the steps, her unique outfit drawing attention

Priscilla didn't went to Evie for she could make her outfit for the isle like Ben had. Priscilla was wearing an off the shoulder white shirt, long sleeved that dropped over her hands. The shirt was under a Dark red corset zipped at the bottom as it was tied up, up top. She wore a leather black pants with Black combat boots

Evie, ever the fashion enthusiast, clapped her hands, declaring everyone present. Before they headed to the limo, she playfully adjusted Ben's beanie, earning eye rolls from the other boys and a smile from Priscilla

Carlos couldn't help but gaze at Priscilla, who met his stare with a raised eyebrow. Priscilla eyes slowly turned to Carlos seeing him looking at her. "What?" She asked with a shoulder shrug. She was still upset with the boy, she crossed her arms "Nothing" he quickly dismissed it. The group piled into the limo, Priscilla seating herself between Evie and Carlos, subtly leaning away from him. Carlos, noticing the distance, leaned closer to her ear.

Using a specific nickname, "I'm sorry, Bijou," Carlos apologized sincerely using a specific nickname. Priscilla, intrigued by the unexpected French term, maintained her composure. "I'm just upset with Mal and I just didn't want you to get hurt in the isle" Carlos explained his concerns

"I get it" Priscilla said, acknowledged his sentiments, turning to face him fully. Their eyes locked once they met. Priscilla asserted, "I may be shorter, but trust me, I'm anything but helpless."

"And I know my ways with swords and arrows, so" A chuckle escaped her lips as she also confidently mentioned her skills with swords and arrows

Carlos, intrigued, seized the opportunity "Arrow?" His eyes sparked in interest "Do you now?" He asked in a whisper tone, tilting his head. Priscilla watched his eyes flicker between her eyes and lips before their moment was simply interrupted by the limo ventured towards the Isle of the Lost, setting the stage for the unfolding adventure. Priscilla turned to Evie and saw the girl looking Priscilla with a specific look that the girl immediately knew what it meant. Priscilla subtly shook her head at her

Evie sighed and stopped giving the look to Priscilla, turning her full body to the girl "By the way," She started, scanning her full outfit "I love your outfit, I need to know where did you get it"

Priscilla turned her body to Evie, now interested in the conversation Evie had started "I actually just got this. I was planning to do more practice on shooting arrow soon but this came up" Priscilla talked excitedly touching the ends of her sleeves. Carlos watched as Priscilla eyes brighten in excitement, he slowly smiled to himself seeing her all happy

"Well, you've got to show me where you got it!"
"Oh, absolutely!"

Ben looked at the two in disbelief as they continued to talk about Priscilla's outfit "We are on the way to bring back the girl I love from one of the most dangerous places there are and they're talking about clothing...?" Commented Ben, shaking his head at the two girls

Carlos chuckled at his statement. Priscilla turned her head at the King "Oh please, Florian. You're the one that made your Girlfriend feel horrible and chased her away to the isle" Priscilla turn back at Evie. Ben looked at her with an incredulous look "Oh, you wanna talk about relationships, Briar?"

Priscilla slightly turn her head towards him as he continued, "Let's talk about your time with Chad"

"Chad" Priscilla let out a mocking laugh "Chad is a player and he played me like he does with every girl in the whole school. I was young and I fell for it"

"Okay, that's enough" Evie spoke at the two Auradonians, the two stayed quiet. Priscilla tilted her heard and glared at Ben. The boy crossed his arms and leaned back on his seat, Priscilla then rolled her eyes flipping her hair out of her shoulder. She looked towards where the candies are and reached forward to get one
