The next morning Elisa stood in a lounge room with Ben, his parents and Fairy Godmother. "I think we all know why we're here." Adam starts. "The people are in a panic about Hades. He almost got out.."
"Who knows what he would've done if he had escaped?" Belle added worriedly.
"We can't risk having another villain on the loose." Adam frowns. "Every time we open the barrier, we're exposed to danger. Maleficent, Uma, Hades."
When Ben's phone suddenly buzzed, he excused himself and stepped to the side to check it. Elisa wasn't sure what to do. She stood there, unsure what to do or say. She chewed on her nails, her nerves getting the best of her.
Ben turns back to the others. "Maleficient's scepter and the queen's crown have been stolen."
Fairy Godmother gasps in horror. "Uma?" Adam immediately guessed.
"You don't know that, dad." Ben told him.
"When the people hear this, they will never want to leave their houses." Belle realizes. "What do we tell them? Elisa?" She asked, glancing over at the blonde. Elisa looked up from the floor, meeting Belle's worried eyes. "What do we do? How do we keep evil out of Auradon?"
Elisa takes a deep breath, gathering her thoughts as everyone waited for her response. She knew this was a pivotal moment, not just for their safety, but for the trust and unity of Auradon. "I'm afraid we have to close the barrier...For good." She finally spoke, her voice shaking slightly. She hated the idea of her friends and the kids never seeing their family again, but as soon to be Queen of Auradon she needed to do what was right and safest for Auradon.
Ben and the others all look at her with surprise, but also with worry and understanding.
"Close the barrier? But what about the kids?" Ben asks, his eyes filled with concern. "Henry...Dizzy, they won't get to see their families. And the others. We can't take away their chance of a future. Of a better life. They deserve that."
"I know they do, Ben. And I hate the idea of having to take that away from them. But we need to think about the safety of Auradon. Of everyone. I can't risk putting them in danger." Elisa sighs sadly, frowning and taking his hands in hers. "Ben, I don't like this anymore than you do, but we need to keep the people safe. We can't let villains into Auradon. They can't be trusted. You saw what happened with Hades. And with Uma still out there..."
Ben shook his head, pulling away with a hurt and disappointed look. He stepped back, his jaw clenched. He couldn't believe she was agreeing to close the barrier. To not let all the other kids have a chance at a better life. Not only would his friends not see their parents again, but so many kids would be trapped on the Isle forever. It wasn't fair.
"Elisa, I can't believe you." He frowned.
"Ben..." She frowns, following after him. "I hate this too, I hate Henry and the other kids and our friends won't be able to see their families again, but you have to think of the safety of Auradon." She said softly, reaching up to cup his face with both hands. "Please understand that. We can't risk any more villains getting out. As King and Queen, we need to make hard decisions like this sometimes. We need to protect Auradon."
