•. PARTY .• ACT II CHAPTER XIII ( Madelyn )
"WHOELSEKNOWS about the crown and the sceptre?" Evie asks sitting down on a chair while Madelyn leans against a table.
"No one," Breatehestly replied Mal. During the summer the three had gotten awfully close, and Ben had even complained to the blond several times that she had stolen his fiancée from him more times than he could count.
"I mean think about it, people are scared enough as it is. We have to employ these entirely new security measures. We have Ani to help with that, but still."
The demi-god softly smiled at the mention of her older brother as she shifted positions.
"Will this delay you guys bringing over more vks?" The future queen looked at the blond, "We're talking about closing the barrier for good."
"Shit."
"But you said no?" Evie asked that while Mads studied Mal's expression. She was not telling them something, but the girl decided not to push it, for now.
"I mean the four of us are living the dream here, and we finally get to share that. What could be more important than that?"
"Yeah," Mal agreed, while the blond was deep in her thoughts. If it means that they are closing the barrier, then it also means that she won't see the pirate again. Not that she wanted to, but every time she would go back to the conversation with her aunt the only person she could think of was him.
But Harry Hook was not her soulmate. Maybe Madelyn wasn't sure about that fact, but she decided to remain ignorant.
"Well, maybe some security, or maybe some peace of mind for everyone in Auradon." The blond shook her head after she listened to her friend, "If the barrier gets closed, then people will go back to their old ways. Thinking that the Villain Kids are just as bad as their parents, they're never going to be fully okay with the idea of any more vks coming here. Ever."
Evie nodded her head along, "Are they seriously thinking that no one will ever go in or out of the Isle again? What, we never get to go back and see our parents again?" The demi-god stiffened at the thought of not seeing her mom or dad again.
Madelyn looked up. "But, what about the kids?" Evie's brows knitted as she continued, "We promised them that they could go back to visit the isle whenever they wanted."
"Yeah, I know." The future Queen sighed, trying so hard to stay strong, as tears built up in her eyes.
Evie stood up from her chair grabbing one of Mal's hands, "M, I am so glad that you are going to be the Queen. You will be a part of these conversations, you will stand up for the vks."
Madelyn approached the two, "Yeah, someone has to and I'm glad that it's you."
"Thank you for telling us," Evie went to hug her best friend, Mads joining the hug too. The three stayed like that for a while.
MADELYNWASLAYING on the warm, towel-covered pavement. She was wearing a scarlet bikini to match her red streaks of hair, a white suncap, and her favorite pair of black sunglasses. She was taking in the warmth, while Taylor Swift blasted from her earbuds. It was Jane's birthday party, but before the real party got started, she decided to get a tan.
After a good forty minutes, she decided to jump in the water, earbuds still in place making her not hear a thing. She made a mental note to thank Mal for making them waterproof.
Unknowingly, she jumped in the water just in time before Audrey's pink smoke could reach her. She heard someone jump in the water just right after her. Madelyn swam to see Jane, who jumped in with her clothes.
She was about to go up to get some air and ask why Jane was with her clothes on, but the latter girl quickly pulled her back into the water before she could.
After a few more seconds, Jane finally let go of her friend's arm and both of them breathed out.
"What was that about?" Madelyn asked as she fixed her hair up. She darted her eyes around, noticing that suddenly everyone was not moving, the eyes of the blond widened, "Are they...?"
The birthday girl quickly shook her head, "No, no I think Audrey put a sleeping spell on them."
"Audrey?!" The dark haired girl nodded. "Like Ben's ex, Audrey? The perfect, pink, princess, Audrey?" The other girl rolled her eyes, "Yes!"
"Huh, so Percy owes me twenty five bucks." Jane looked at her friend with a clearly judging look. "What? I knew that she had to snap someday, just saying."
Finally, the girls reached the shore, and the blond looked around. Her friends were in deep sleep and that made her worry, "You said she had the sceptre?" Her friend nodded and Mads began to think.
There isn't anything more powerful than the sceptre, except her uncle's Amber. The very same uncle who was now in the Isle of the Lost. There was no way that Hades would be released from his imprisonment, and knowing that the only people excluding him who can use it are his direct descendants did not help. But in the end, it's not like he had children, so that meant that they were fucked.
The blond signed as she dialed her phone, calling the king. Ben finally answered as Mads held her phone with one hand, while drying her blond with scarlet streaks hair with the other. "Hey, Mads. I'm on my way to the party, my meeting ran long."
"Yeah, I'm afraid, the party is paused."
"What, why?" Mads could hear the confusion in Ben's voice, so she handed her phone to Jane, she knew better what happened than her.
As she heard the birthday girl talk to her best friend she decided to dress up, pulling out her red, mini denim skirt, with built-in shorts that Madelyn could never thank Evie enough for. Next, she put on her white off-sleeve shirt and her black Converse.
