Across my memory | Ben Beast

chapter three - revenge

          "Come on, you red headed freaks! There's news!" She exclaimed, causing the Madame scoff and roll her eyes, fixing her dress.

"The five of you have been chosen to go to a different school... in Auradon."

With the mention of the place the VKs except Ana tried to make a run for it, before they were held by the three knuckleheads.

Ana stood there in shock, could she finally meet the guy with hazel-green eyes-

"What!" Mal shouted. "I'm not going to some boarding school filled to the brim with prissy pink princesses!"

Evie's eyes lit up at the thought. "And perfect princes!" Mal gave her look and groaned in disgust.

Seeing the look on one of her best friend's face, Ana placed a hand on the blue haired girl's arm.

"I can't wait till you find your prince, Eve." She told her quietly, while Jay said something about uniforms.

Evie smiled gratefully and released a quiet giggle. Lacing her arm with the red head, they listened to Carlos' concern about dogs being allowed in Auradon.

"-Mom said they're rabid pack animals, who eat boys who don't behave."

Ana tried not to let her pity show, she could relate with the boy, since her mother was the same.

"Yeah, Mom we're not going!"

Maleficent scoffed. "Oh, you thinking small, Pumpkin." She waved her arm in the air. "It's all about world domination!"

She licked her yellow slowly decaying teeth, slowly, making Ana scrunch her nose in disgust.

"Knuckleheads!"

While her friends were following Maleficent, Ana was dragged by her mother to the pawnshop.

Ana looked at her mother as the women looked at the different jewelry inside the dirty glass shelves.

She picked up an emerald earring holding it up next to her ear.

"Does this bring out my eyes, peach?"

Ana looked between the piece of jewelry and her mother's eyes.

Her mother's eyes were a darker shade of green that you could hardly see from her fake lashes.

She couldn't see why men fall victim to her schemes.

"Or is this one better? It brings out my lips better, no?"

Her mother brought out another piece of earring but it was completely identical to the one she's holding before.

Same shade, Same shape, Same earring

Ana smiled tightly, choosing to just pick one. "Uhm, I guess that one looks better..." She said, referring to the second one.

The woman glared at her, eyes turning even more colder. "You guess?"

Ana realising her mistake, bit her lip softly. "Apologies, mother." She said hastily. "I meant, that one looks marvelous on you."

"Good, I knew I taught you well."

That was the stuff Madame Medusa taught her, her whole life.

How to pluck your brows, how to achieve a flawless makeup look, how to dress up properly, and by properly it meant wearing sexy clothes.

To her mother, beauty is everything.

The woman taught her daughter how to look good, feel good and use it to your advantage.

"Mom, I'm-"

"You are going and that is final." Madame Medusa looked at her daughter seriously.

She thought of an excuse. "But, how about the shop? Who is going to-"

Her mother laughed, reaching into the glass case, pulling out a shiny diamond bracelet.

"Well, there's me of course!"

Ana tried not to look at her mother with wide eyes.

It has been a long time since the woman willingly watched over her pawnshop, since she spent most of her time painting her nails, going to the salon, talking to men, more specifically, Gaston.

Even though the man was years younger than her, he had no problem charming his way through her mother's undies.

Ana scrunched her nose in disgust, remembering when she accidentally walked in her mother and Gaston, doing... something.

She shuddered in disgust at the memory.

"You, my darling, will be worming your way into a rich man's pants, even better a prince."

Her mother grinned explaining her plans of wanting Analise to be the perfect trophy wife, living a life of luxury.

While she stood there, trying not to bolt to the door, running as far as she could away from the crazy lady she called mother.

She was just 15!

And her mother expects her to just whore herself away to some rich man, live in his mansion, and be the perfect trophy wife.

Ana chuckled nervously. "Uhm, Mom? Do I really have to do all that?"

At the question, her mother glared at her, gripping her auburn hair. "You dare question me, child?"

"N-No!"

"If not you, then who else?" Her mother exclaimed. "Who is going to free me from this wretched island?!"

She gripped Ana's hair tighter, balling a bunch of hair in her fists. She grabbed her daughter's face, digging her long manicured nails into her cheeks.

"You will do as I say, you hear me, Analise?!"

Ana gulped, trying not to let her eyes water from the pain, she nodded hastily, wishing her mother to just stop.

"Yes, mother."

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-

The mother and daughter walked into the villain's lair just in time to see all of her friends and their parents gathered around.

"What is wrong with you all?!"

Maleficent yelled in frustration, before walking down the stairs, dragging Mal after her. "People used to cower at the mention of our names!"

Ana stifled a laugh seeing Maleficent holding her hands up, shaking them for the second time. She turned her head to her right to see Evie doing the same.

"For 20 years, I have searched for a way off this island. For 20 years, they have robbed us from our revenge- revenge on Snow white and her horrible little men-"

"Ow!" Evil Queen looked at Maleficent with a frown.

"-Revenge on Aladdin and his bloated genie!"

"I will-" Jafar held up a spoon, in anger as Jay held him back.

"Revenge on that stupid little girl and her pesky little mice!"

Her mother grumbled, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"Revenge on every sneaky Dalmatian that escaped your clutches." Maleficent said to Cruella.

"Oh- But they didn't get the baby..." The women said, squeaking the little dalmatian on her coat. "-They didn't get- They didn't get the baby!" She laughed psychotically.

Ana and her friends looked at Cruella disturbed, except for Carlos who looked a little scared.

"And I, Maleficent!" She yelled, overdramatically. "The evilest of them all..." She grabbed EQ's mirror, looking at her self. "I will finally have my revenge on Sleeping Beauty and her relentless little prince."

"Villains!" Maleficent called out as the others said yes. "Our day has come."
