chapter one

Charleigh's POV

"Leigh, are you listening to me?" Ben asks me as I look up from the book that I'm reading as he's talking about how he wants to do his first proclamation as the soon to be King.Β 

"It's called multitasking." I say to him and he gives me a playful look. He knew that I wasn't paying attention and he knew that.

"Uh, okay. As I was saying. I hope my parents will agree with me." Ben finishes what he was saying.

The door opens and Lumiere walks into the bedroom, with a tape ruler of some sort as he was fitting Ben for his outfit for the coronation.

"Prince Ben. Princess Charleigh." Lumiere says as both of us smile at him as he starts measuring Ben. "Okay sire, stand on the stand."

Ben did as he was told and he stood on the stool as I continued reading my book. The door opened again and this time it was the King and Queen themselves. King Beast and Queen Belle.

"Hello, Charleigh dear." Belle says as we both hug each other and Beast smiles at me.

"Hello." I say and we both let go of our hug, and I quickly hug Beast and then I go back to my book.

"How is it possible that you're going to be crowned king next month?!" Beast says.

"He's turning sixteen dear." Belle says to her husband and he nods his head.

"16? That's far too young to be crowned King. I didn't make a good decision until I was at least 42." Beast says and Belle gives him a look as he smirks a little.

"Uh, you decided to marry me at 28." Belle says to her husband as Ben and I smile a little at their little disagreement.

Ben and I looked at each other and I gave him a nod as he knew what it meant, and he cleared his throat, gaining his parents attention and also mine.Β 

"Mom, Dad..." Ben says trailing off a little, and he went to walk off of the stool but Lumiere stops him and he steps back.

"Ah! Nn-nnh!" Lumiere scolds Ben and he backs up to where he was and he sighs before continuing what he was going to say to his parents.

"I've chosen my first official proclamation. I've decided that the children on the isle of the lost will be given a chance to live here in Auradon." Belle and Beast look shocked to hear this, as they weren't expecting this. "Every time I look out to the island. I feel like they've been abandoned."

"The children of our sworn enemies, living among us?" Beast asks, making sure he heard that correctly.

"We start out with a few at first, only the ones who need our help the most. I've already chosen them." Ben says as Beast looks more shocked.

"Have you?" Beast asks his son and he nods his head. Belle turns to her husband and puts her hand on his shoulder.

"I gave you a second chance. Who are their parents?" Belle asks her son and he looks at her.

"Cruella de Vil....Anastasia Tremaine....Drizella Tremaine....Jafar....Evil Queen....and Maleficent." Ben says going slow on telling them and when he got to Maleficent. Lumiere, Belle and Beast are shocked by what was said by Ben.

"Maleficent! She is the worst villain in the land!" Beast yells and I drop my book from his outburst. I was expecting that a little as he has a temper sometimes.

"Dad, just hear me out!" Ben exclaims to his father and I sink into the chair that I'm sitting in knowing what's happening.

"I won't hear of it. They are guilty of unspeakable crimes." Beast says reasoning with his son asΒ  I shake my head slightly.

"Dad, their children are innocent. Don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life? Dad?" Ben asks his father, trying to reason with him.

"I suppose their children are innocent." Beast says to Ben and Belle walks towards him before kissing his cheek and fixing his suit.

"Well done. Shall we?" Belle says as her and Ben walk out of the room, leaving Ben and I alone in the room once more.

"Got to say, that went better than I originally thought it would." I say to Ben and he nods his head at me as he agrees.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Ben says, looking out to the island as I put my book down and walk towards him.

"Hey, it's going to be okay." I reassure him and he doesn't say anything leaving me to ponder my thoughts. "Well I got to go, okay. I'll see you later."Β 

.....

isle of the lost

Analia was one of two children that Anastasia had given birth to, her brother is named Anthony and he's so spoiled it's not even funny. He's tall, elegant with dark brown hair swept off his forehead. He always looks as if he was wearing custom-tailoring. He tries to get the citizens of the Island to call him 'Lord Tremaine', but to no avail.

"You are a disgrace to this family!" Was the voice that Analia always wakes up hearing. Every. Single. Morning. But she's gotten used to it, then it usually comes with a harsh slap that makes her jolt out of bed.

"ANA!!!" Was the scream of her cousin Dizzy, and that made Analia fully get out of bed, and she quickly got dressed and ran downstairs, to see her grandmother slapping Dizzy across the face.

"Leave her alone!!" Analia ordered her grandmother and Dizzy ran to hide from her grandmother.

"I wasn't done with the brat!" Lady Tremaine shouts to Analia, as the girl glares at her grandmother for slapping her cousin, Analia is always protective of Dizzy.

"What did she do now?" Analia says to her grandmother with her arms crossed over her chest, as Dizzy puts her hand over her cheek where she got slapped.

Lady Tremaine grabbed a glass bottle and threw it at Analia for being in the way of Dizzy whom she wanted to finish slapping and abusing.

"NOO!!" Dizzy screams as their grandmother turns to her and Dizzy slowly backs away as Analia falls to the ground not seeing the glass bottle coming at her face.

"Get over here you brat!!" Lady Tremaine shouts as Dizzy runs out of Curl Up & Dye, and runs as far as her little legs will allow her to.

Unknowingly she accidentally collided with someone as she had fear in her eyes, and she looked up and it was Evie. She took a huge sigh of relief that it was Evie and not some stranger on the island.

"Evie! Grammy did it again." Dizzy tells the blue haired girl and the two of them run back to Curl Up & Dye catching the attention of the other VK's. Mal, Carlos and Jay, and the five of them got to the salon. Lady Tremaine had left, leaving Analia cleaning the glass as her right cheek was bleeding from the glass shards in her cheek.

"What happened?" Mal, Carlos, Jay and Evie ask the girl in unison, as they all stop to catch their breaths as the salon is on the other side of the island.

"At first Grammy was hitting me, and then Ana came in and tried to stop her, and then Grammy grabbed a glass bottle and threw it at Ana." Dizzy says as she still has fear written on her face, as she was scared to death of what happened to her cousin.

Before anyone can say anything to what Dizzy said, there was a noise of someone panicking and it meant one thing. Analia. The five of them ran to where the noise was and the person claimed the noise.

"Ana?" Was four voices that made the teenage girl jump as high as she possibly could as she turned around with her bloodied cheek clearly visible.

"Oh, Ana." Evie says as she finds some antibacterial stuff and cotton swabs, and goes to clean off Ana's wound on her cheek.

After Evie was done cleaning off the wound and Ana hissing as it stings, she finishes cleaning the mess from the glass bottle and the few drops of Ana's blood from the ground.

"It's okay, Ana." Evie and Carlos say to the girl as he nods her head at them, not knowing what was going to happen to them.
