(Not) My Mothers Daughter

♥️Chapter Two♥️

     After getting over the initial shock, I go to pack my bag. I have no idea why I, of all people, am going to Auradon or why they would want villain kids off the isle. However, I'm going to take the win. I'll finally be somewhere other than my room.

     I grab the only bag I have which isn't very big but I also don't have very much stuff. I started packing basically everything in my room because I'd rather be safe than sorry. I carefully wrap my jewelry box in some clothes so it doesn't get damaged.

     Once I'm done packing I walk back down to my mother. It completely takes me by surprise when I see tears in her eyes. I don't think I've seen her cry in my entire life. I slowly walk up to her because no matter what she is my mother.

    Once she sees me she wipes her tears as if I didn't see her crying about two seconds ago. As much as I wanted to move past it I wanted to know what she's crying about.

    "Mother, I saw you crying. Are you okay?"

     She wipes her tears again as if that's going to fix it. "I'm sorry dear, I'm just going to miss you. I know you probably hate me for keeping you locked up here, but I just wanted you to be safe. Now you're leaving and I may never see you again."

    Great, now I'm the one crying. I quickly wipe my eyes and hug my mother. "Why didn't you just tell me that?" I say into her shoulder as I cry slightly.

    "I was scared you wouldn't understand" I hear her say.  Of course I would understand at least better than her just saying 'because I said so.' But I don't say anything, instead I just continue to hug her. I never really hated her, she's my mother.

    Now I'm realizing she never hated me. I always thought she kept me hidden out of hatred and disappointment but turns out it was safety and love.

    Once we are both done hugging and crying she softly wipes my tears. She also tells me she has something for me before I go. I wait for whatever she is going to pull out. She comes back with a deck of cards. I look at her confused, what does a deck of cards have to do with anything?

    My mother looks at the cards as if she's sad to part with them but hands them to me anyway. "These will help guide you on your path. I can't teach you how to use them, but trust me that they will help."

    I look at the cards in my hand and then back at my mother. So I have no idea how to use these, but I just have to trust they will help. I throw them in my bag and make a mental note to figure out how they work.

    Mother and I notice that it's almost time for me to go. I grab my bag and walk towards the door with my mother by my side. Once I get to the door I realize this is the first time I will ever go outside. I look to my mom for some sort of support or maybe permission and she simply nods her head and smiles.

    Taking a deep breath I turn the handle to lead to my new life. I take my first step outside and breathe in the fresh air. It's not the most clean or best smelling but it's better than the muggy air of my room. With the brightest smile on my face me and my mom keep walking arm in arm.

    As we get closer I see a limo, a bit dramatic for one person but I won't complain. I throw my bag in the trunk and give my mother one last hug. As I pull away I see four other kids and their parents walking up. I look at my mom confused as to why there's more people here. She quickly explains I wasn't the only one picked.

    Suddenly her talking to Maleficent makes much more sense as I see her and her daughter walk up. The same daughter with bright purple hair. Along with her is the rest of her group and their parents. They seem just as confused as I am, maybe a little more considering I at least know they exist.

    The purple haired girl walks up to me "Who are you and why are you here?"

    Her demanding tone scares me for a second but I stand my ground "My name is Raina Heart and I was told to be here. Who are you?"

    The leader with purple hair seems shocked at first and then smiles proudly. "None of your business, we were told to be here." I can immediately tell she's the leader of the group.

    "Then I guess we are going together" I say in the strongest voice I can muster. Mal gives me a long stare that says 'don't you dare try anything.' As the rest of the kids pack into the limo I give my mom one more hug. As I let go I realize this is not only my first time outside but my first time without my mother.

    As I go to get in the limo I give my mom one last look. As I get in I see the four kids from before and I can't help but be a little nervous. I've never interacted with anyone close to my age. I get in and find the spot furthest away from the group.

    I just stare out the window not really knowing what to do. The two boys are already fighting and the girls are talking about something I can't really hear.
   
     I get broken out of my thoughts by a girl's voice. "I'm Evie" Evie quickly realizes the rest of the group isn't going to introduce themselves. "The boy with white hair is Carlos, the one fighting him is Jay, and this is Mal." Mal elbows Evie in the side as if she's mad at her for being nice to me.

    I can't really blame her. No one knows me and it's not really the isle style to trust immediately. I know I have to keep my guard up, but Evie seems nice enough.

    "Who's your parent?" Carlos says with his mouth full.

     "The Queen of Hearts" I say proudly.

    The group looks shocked. I don't blame them, no one knows I exist or that my mother had a kid at all. Mal looks skeptical but she doesn't say anything.

    Evie is the only one to speak up "I didn't know she had a kid."

      "Yeah no one does. I've never been allowed outside." I say in a kind of embarrassed voice.

    As the group was about to react we felt the limo start moving towards the barrier. Everyone starts screaming that we are going to die, but since I'm in the back I can't even tell what's happening. Maybe this whole thing was a trap
