Ignored by everyone but one

chapter 1

Welcome. This is my hood.

Not that anyone would know, I sorta just go under the radar to everyone but my 4 close friends and occasionally their parents.

Oh yes, I forgot to say, I'm Coda Jordan De Vil, daughter of Cruella.

Well, by blood.

She tends to forget I exist. If anything Jafar is more of a parent figure than Cruella, and that's only because I help stock his store. In other words, I steal for him.

Oh yes, my friends, siblings, partners in crime: Carlos - my actual brother, the favourite child, well as favourite as you can get from Cruella, Mal - daughter of Malificent, the leader of our group, Evie - the daughter of the Evil Queen, the fashionista of the group, and Jay. Son of Jafar, closest friend I've ever had, despite being 3 years older than me, we get each other, well we steal together and practically read each others brains when pickpocketing, stealing, or anything else really.

The Isle of the Lost. Where all the villains were banished. And the Villain kids are trapped. No escape. No way out. We learn to be bad, thats the way on the Isle. Be bad or else.

Or so we thought.

In the afternoon Malificent emerges from her castle, approaching our group, the core 5.

Me and the others share a look of confusion, it's rare she takes time out of her castle. "Stealing candy, Mal? I'm so disappointed." She drawled, I roll my eyes discreetly as Mal and her mother walk off and talk. I sigh and tuck my hair behind my ear and Evie and Carlos move closer to me and Jay, clearly as puzzled as us.

"Oh! I buried the lead!" She said loudly, jolting us back to looking at her, "You 5 have been chosen to attend a new school," me and Carlos share a look, "In Auradon." Malificent explains, Carlos, E and Jay turn to run but get stopped by Malificent's goons while I exchange a very confused look with Mal. "What?!" She snapped, as confused as all of us.

She then goes on about how she doesn't wanna go, I don't wanna spend my time with stuck up princesses but maybe people will pay attention to me there. I'm lost in thought when E tugs on my wrist, I look up and follow the others, Carlos bringing up the rear, looking slightly spooked.

I stand leaning on the table as Malificent explains she wants us to get the wand, I roll my eyes, of course she has an ulterior motive for letting us go. I see Jafar catch my eye roll and I quickly look down.

Malificent gives Mal a spell book and the Evil Queen gives E her magic mirror. Jafar then pulls me and Jay aside, "What did you score?" He asks, I empty my pocket. A valuable watch, some jems which add up to a decent amount, and some silk. He nods then looks at Jay, he empties out his pockets. Then together we take out the lamp from his pouch. Jafar seizes it and rubs it maniacally, me and Jay give a sigh, "Pop, we already tried." He says calmly, Jafar sighs and tosses back at my chest which I deftly catch and place on the counter.

Then the adults go on a rant about revenge. I sit on the table and run a hand through my knotty hair and I hear a car draw up outside and a car horn beep. "Let's get this party started!" Jay says and I laugh before following him out, picking up our bag on the way out.

I hop in the car after Carlos and end up sat between the two guys. What have I let myself in for?!

I help myself to a sour lolly and suck on it throughout the car journey, only stopping to brace ourselves to be driven into a sea.

Jay and Carlos start fighting over some blanket and while they are doing that, I take what Jay has stolen out of his pockets and examine them.

Eventually we pull up, Jay and Carlos fall out the door fighting over the blanket. I roll my eyes and follow them out. "Guys. We have an audience." I hiss, fixing a smile on my face.
