Rotten Flower: A Disney Descendants Story

No tears for the Wicked

"What's with the outfit?" Gothel asked her daughter as she adjusted her seat, wanting to have the perfect view on the tv for the coronation.

Lilith put her hands on her hips, a grin on her face. "Mother, it's coronation day. Today is the day they'll get the wand and we get to wreck all of Auradon. Don't first impressions matter, considering we could rule Corona?" She asked simply, grabbing one of the creaky dinner table chairs. Putting the chair down next to her mother, Lilith turned the tv on before sitting down.

Gothel looked at her daughter with a raised eyebrow. "Very well. If they pull it of, that is."

"Good things come to those who wait, wasn't it?" Lilith smiled, masking her own nerves perfectly.

Months have passed since the five villain childeren left the Isle of the Lost. While Lilith, being left behind, had struggled with the ups and downs and being alone, something happened earlier this week that completely restored her faith in her friends.

Maleficent had called Gothel, Jafar, Cruella and the Evil Queen to her home for a video call, which could only mean one thing.

Lilith couldn't hide her excitement at the thought of getting to see her sister and friends again. Brushing some hair out of her face, she caught herself adjusting her clothing. Not that she thinks her friends would be impressed or anything, but she didn't want to look like this was just another ordinary day for her either.

Giving Maleficent directions how to turn the laptop on, Lilith grinned widely when she saw five familair faces appear on the screen, huddled around a person that could only be the Fairy Godmother.

"Evie!" EQ screeched immediately. "It's mommy! Oh, look how beautiful!"

Lilith let out a soft sigh as she saw her friends' smile at their parents. She nudged Cruella a bit to the side so her friends could see her as well. "Hey guys! Ginny, how you've been?"

"Lilith!" To the older sister's delight, Ginny's face split into a grin. "How are things back home?"

"Eh, same as always. Strange to not fall asleep to your snoring tho," Lilith smirked as Ginny playfully glared at her while their friends chuckled.

But the teenager got a rude shove as Cruella got close to the screen. "Who's the old bat?"

Mal smiled slightly, crossing her arms over her chest. "This is Fairy Godmother."

"Huh, still doing tricks with eggplants?" Maleficent asked, barely containing her laughter.

"I turned a pumpkin into a beautiful carriage!" FG protested, making the villains laugh. Lilith laughed along with them until she noticed her friends looking upset at the jokes.

As FG muttered how they were mice, she stepped out of frame as the five vk's stepped forward.

"Hi, mom." Mal waved, her smile falling as soon as Maleficent gasped.

The villain's eyes widened as her daughter stepped forward. "Mal! I m-m-miss you." She managed to bring out with some encouragement from the other villains.

"You children are never far from our thoughts." Jafar added with an actually genuine looking smile.

Maleficent gave the other villain the stink eye before turning back to her daughter. "How long must mommy wait to see you?"

"Um, there's a big coronation coming up. I think sometime probably after... that."

"Oh, when?" Lilith asked, tilting her head slightly, trying not to let her excitement shine trough too much.
