Dragon Love (Descendants story)

Until the Night Falls

As they finally arrived at Auradon prep, they were met with a bunch of sleeping students and staff members.

"They're asleep, everyone is," Mal frowned as Mila groaned in frustration.

"Ben still doesn't answer?" Evie asked the redhead, who sighed at the question.

"Nope, this is gonna sound weird but I hope he's just asleep like the rest."

"I can't reach Dizzy nor Doug," Evie sighed.

"Nor Lonnie, I think the signal is out," Jay added, as they all put their phones away, figuring they weren't useful at the moment.

Celia stared at the school building with big eyes, seeing it for the first time. "That's Auradon Prep?"

"Yeah," Carlos smiled at the younger girl. "And when everyone wakes up, you're gonna love it."

Mila sighed softly, trying to think of solutions when Gil tapped her shoulder. "Everything is so green, you guys have leaves on your trees!" He said, obviousy amazed at that fact.

Jay nodded slightly at Gil's enthousiasm. "It's still freaky."

"What are those colored things on the bushes?" Gil asked, pointing at flowers.

Jay stared at the boy with an unreadable expression. "Flowers..?"

"Flowers are pretty," Gil stated, looking around, eventually eating some sleeping girl's grapes.

"We don't have fresh fruit on the Isle, remember?" Uma huffed when she saw the others staring.

"Actually," Harry sighed slightly, taking his captain by her arm. "We do, we're still not used to it. But we do have fresh fruit,"

Uma looked weirded out at the fact, looking from Harry to Gil. "Since when?!"

"Since Mila came with the idea," Gil grinned, wrapping an arm around Mila's shoulders, dragging his knuckles over her scalp as a show of affection while the dragon girl tried to wiggle out of his grasp, groaning dramatically. "Gil, come on!"

Uma glanced at Harry, silently asking for confirmation, which Harry gave in the form of a slight nod.

As Harry wandered off, trying to steal from the sleeping people, Carlos grinned as he heard a familair voice. "Dude!"

The small dog was eating out of the palm of someone's hand, quite literally, as he looked at Carlos innocently. "What? It wasn't me, I swear," He began but quickly gave in, admitting he was eating everything.

"Dude, do you know what happened here?" Carlos asked as the others joined him around the dog.

"Yeah, Audrey showed up. She put everyone to sleep. And then she turned some of them into-"

"Guys," Evie's voice caught everyone's attention as they saw her standing next to a stone statue. "Hannah turned to stone," Evie frowned, recognizing the girl from the marching band.

"Alright, everybody, stay on their toes," Jay said cautiously.

Uma sighed as she looked around. "Look, since we're here, let's check the school."

Mal shook her head. "No, Audrey went straight for the crown, so I think it's safe to assume she'd go for Ben and his castle next," She said. "That's where we'll go."

"Says who?" Uma scoffed, challenging Mal's leadership.

Mal didn't back down, simply taking a step towards her life-long rival. "Says me."
