As we turn off into a busy alleyway, the other VKs and I keep our eyes open. Scanning our surroundings like we used to. Ben, on the other hand, gazed around and smiled like he was in a dream. Before I can tell him to stop, I hear a shout from behind me. "Hey! Hey! Stop!" Evie's voice says. I turn to see two kids, caught stealing her purse. I run to her, standing beside her as she looks at the kids. "Just...take it." She says, handing it over as the kids run off. She gazes after them, sadness etched onto her face. My heart aches at the sight. Knowing Evie feels the same. Seeing kids, barely holding on as they steal for a living...compared to how we live now."C'mon, E. Let's go." I mumble, pulling her with me as we turn. I see the boys staring at us, watching...well, most of the boys. "Ugh, Ben." Evie says as she notices the same thing I do. Ben had wandered off without us...
We run after him, catching up to him as he smiles and goes to shake a random guy's hand, earning a growl in response. "Hey!" I say, glaring at the man, who backs off. "Ben, stop." Evie says, pulling him back as I glare at the man. "Why?" Ben asks, the innocence radiating off him. "This isn't a parade, it's the Isle." Evie says. "Keep your hands in your pockets unless you're stealing." Jay says. "You either slouch or strut," Carlos adds. "And never, ever smile." I add. "Okay, Than-"
"No!" Evie shouts. "No 'thank you's" and drop the 'please' too....just... chill." She says before smirking. "Let me tell you something you can really trust. Everybody's got a wicked side." She sings, walking around Ben. "I know you think that you could never be like us." She sings as we all look at Ben, nodding. "Watch and learn so you can get it right." We all walk to the middle of the area.
"You need to drag your feet, you need to nod your head." She sings as we drag our feet and nod our heads. "You need to lean back. Slip through the cracks." I sing. "You need to not care." Evie sings before Carlos steps in front of Ben. "Uh, you need to not stare." He says. "You need a whole lotta help. You need to not be yourself." Evie sings as Jay steals the King's wallet before he takes it back.
"You wanna be cool, let me show you how. Need to break the rules, I can show you how. And once you catch this feeling." The princess sings, running her hands down her body, looking back and winking at me as Jay, Carlos and I copy her. "Once you catch this feeling" We repeat. "You'll be chillin', chillin', whoa. Chillin' like a villain." We repeat as we walk down the alley to a different section with a fence, bin and random dude selling what are clearly trinkets and drugs. Ben, however, doesn't seem to notice and goes to the guy, taking something from him. I step forward, dragging him back.
"You draw attention when you act like that. Let us teach you how to disappear" I sing. Us VKs climb onto the fence, standing on it but crouching. "You look like you would lose a fight to an alley cat, you gotta be wrong to get it right round here." Evie sings, using her finger to entice Ben to get close to her before we screech like a cat, frightening Ben.
"You need to watch your back. You need to creep around." We sing, standing on the fence and stepping and dancing on it. "You need to slide real smooth" We sing before sliding along the fence and jumping off as Ben attempts to slide, kicking the bin and making a loud clanking sound. "Don't make a sound. And if you want it, take it. If you can't take it, break it." We sing, standing next to Ben. "If you care about your health."
"Seriously, you need to not be yourself." Evie says before we all sit on the fence, in the order of Carlos, Jay, Ben, Evie and me. "You wanna be cool. Let me show you how. Need to break the rules, I can show you how." We sing, dancing while sitting on the fence before Evie shimmies off and runs her hand down her body again, making my eyes glued to her body. "And once you catch this feeling." She sings as the rest of up follow. "Once you catch this feeling, you'll be chillin', chillin' whoa. Chillin' like a villain." We sing before reaching another alleyway.
