The first thing Aaron did when he woke up was shoot towards the bathroom. You see as rumor had it, Evie had taken a liking to Chad, whether she knew it or not. Aaron had to remind her who was in charge, who she belonged to. Because yes, she belonged to him just like Mal belonged to Ryder, Jay belonged to Ella and Carlos belonged to Jazzy. They were the ones who were running the show; without them the Vk's would have no power. They wouldn't even know who they were. After he was showered and dressed, he was out the door in three minutes, "See you later Ryder." The boy who was sitting on his bed lacing up his boot nodded knowing where he was going already.

He found Evie in the hall and stopped her, "Hi, what did you wanna talk about?" she asked. He had told her while they were making the cookies last night that he needed to talk to her.

"Gossip travels faster in Auradon than the Isle love," she bit her lip. She already knew what was coming and braced herself for the yelling and the spells thrown in her direction, that would be safer than whatever he could do with the dagger at his hip.  He circled her like she was his prey, "word around the place is you might have a thing with Chad," he gripped her shoulders tight and whispered in her ear.

She would never admit it but Aaron scared Evie. The reason didn't matter all that mattered was how she trembled under his grasp. She tried to control her shaking, but because of her powers she was the worst at concealing her feelings and while she could keep herself under her well-trained control, she wasn't perfect. Aaron could still feel it like an earthquake at his fingertips. His sharp glanced turned deadly. "N-no it's not like that I swear," she stuttered.

"Then what is it like, love?" he gritted his teeth. 

She racked her brain and came up with a well-organized excuse, "I was just trying to get information from him."

"Then why were you doing his homework?" he circled back around and grabbed her chin forcing her to meet his gaze, one full of lust, bloodlust, barely kept at bay bubbling under the surface. She wanted anything then for that gaze to be for her, because he would follow through.

She calmed her breathing so there would be no tremble in her words, "I had to get him to trust me."

Aaron shook his head; Evie couldn't tell if he was calm or not. Evie knew Aaron didn't like her, not really, he loved her as a friend and partner, but not in a romantic sense. He was a king by birth, and she needed a throne, just like her mom said. "You are mine; I am your key to power. You can finally be a queen just like you always wanted," he almost sounded sweet. His grip on her chin slacked and his hand moved to her cheek caressing it gently, a motion that Evie instinctually leaned into. "Everything I do is for you, love. Don't make me waste my time, remember what I always say."

"Time is the most precious thing in the world, it's the one thing we can never steal back."

"Good," he praised bringing her into his chest and running his hand through her hair. He may not have liked her, but he faked it pretty well. It was only because of her powers that she could even tell. 

She hummed and looked up at him, "can I keep him as my plaything though. He's pretty," She gave him the baby doll eyes that he has never bene able to refuse.

"That can be arranged," She squealed in delight. "But at a later date right now we must focus on getting the wand. We can't be distracted; without it you are no more a queen then Mal is right now."

Later Ella was trying to get in some target practice before they spelled Ben in case, she needed to lay him out flat. She was hitting every bullseye at least twice. As she loses another arrow, Jay comes up, "Nice shot."

Ella spun around letting a beautiful grin cover her cheeks, she looked relieved for once. She didn't ever really relax, and she only did around Jay as she was comfortable around him. She knew their relationship was a bit toxic, but it had to be. You didn't survive on the isle otherwise. just about everything she was doing was so he could be the king he was always meant to be, everything else was for the others. But he was her main focus after Ryder. She leaned into him, "What's up."
