Two (Wicked) Hearts as One

Banished

Chapter 6: Banished

Evie's POV:

It's been five days in prison, and I just want to get out already. I've been practicing some spells when no one was looking to keep myself entertained.

"You really have to stop using your powers E. If someone sees and/or hears, we'll be in big trouble," Jay told me.

"Like we aren't in trouble already," I rolled my eyes.

"I'm serious. If someone catches you, we'll be sent back to the Isle for good, and the plan will fail. You know your mom will hate if you fail," at those words, I stopped. I could not go back to the Isle again.

We sat in silence for a while before a guard came down. Jay quickly put the cuffs back on my wrists so that we don't look suspicious. "Stand up you two!" he ordered harshly. We followed his instructions. He yelled for us to come to the door, which he was unlocking. I knew what was going to happen next.

I looked over at Jay and mouthed "Isle". He nodded, showing me that he also knew what was going to next. I resisted the urge to fight off the guard once he removed my handcuffs. We were led into a limo that drove us back to our home. I secretly got in contact with my mother and explained what happened. She was a bit annoyed, but she knew I'd get us off the island in no time.

We arrived on the Isle in about 30-45 minutes. When we stepped out, the villains were highly confused on why we were there, but they knew we must've done something horrible. A brave handful of them stayed and watched, but most ran off in fear.

I watched as the limo drove over the bridge, and I saw the barrier close once again, trapping us on this dreaded island. I looked around for the Queen of Hearts, for I knew that she was in control while my mother was away. I didn't find her, but I did find her daughter, Hallie.

"Come on Jay," I told him, and we walked over to Hallie.

"What brings you two back here? We all saw that stunt you guys pulled at the coronation. They're just too easy to convince, huh?" she smirked.

"You bet. Mal and Carlos were serious, but they've just gone soft. We don't need them in our plan anyway. You see, we don't need Mal's magic," I explained, "since I have my own. It's more powerful than Mal's."

"Seriously?" I could tell she was surprised.

Jay cut in. "It's true. You really should see her."

"When we break off this island, maybe we'll take you with us," I said. "Anyway, I need to talk to your mom."

"Come with me. Our house is right this way," Hallie gestured and we followed her to the home of the Queen of Hearts.

"Mother!" Hallie yelled. "Evie and Jay are here! They'd like to speak with you!"

The Red Queen came downstairs. I saw the look of surprise on her face when she saw that her daughter was serious that we were back on the island. "Hello. What brings you two rotten souls here?" she asked.

"Banished again. We're breaking out in a few days, but we need to wait a little so we're unsuspected," Jay explained.

"What did you two do now?" Hallie's mother asked.

"Well, we stole Fairy Godmother's wand, threatened the king, and then took over Auradon. That last part didn't last, since of course we were arrested. But Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella de Vil are all in Auradon waiting for us," I explained. "Then we will reclaim the kingdom. They still have the wand."

"I must say, I'm quite impressed with you two. So, why are you here again?" the Queen of Hearts asked.

"Right. I want control of the Isle until I leave, and I know you're in charge with my mother gone," I said. "And I won't take no for an answer."

"Okay, okay. Fine, the Isle is yours until you two get out of here," she told me, afraid of what I'd do if she refused.

"Good," I smirked. "Let's go guys. We don't want to be late for school," the four of us laughed.

"Us, be late? Never in a million years," Jay commented in a sarcastic tone. We laughed even harder. Yes, my mom says laughing give you wrinkles, but she doesn't know what she's talking about. Frowning and scowling constantly does, not laughing.

"I think we should still get going now, just to let everyone know that the two evilest VKs are back in town," Hallie said with a smirk, knowing how the others will react.

"She has a point," Jay said, looking at me.

"True, true. And besides, who says we were going to go to class anyway?" I told my boyfriend.

"No one! Come on, let's get there. I'm sure you two need a break from Prep schools," Hallie said.

"Ummm yeah. Tourney is cool I guess, but Auradon has too many rules that takes the fun out of it. Plus, everyone there is too... well good. They need to find a dark side," Jay explained, and I agreed with him one hundred percent.

We headed off to Dragon Hall, the only school on the Isle. We were already late, but that didn't even matter at this school. In fact, we were encouraged to be late. We ditch sometimes, but the villains need to know that the Wicked Duo is back in town. So, we started off towards Dr. Facilier's office.

Jay just opened the door and we walked inside. No one knocks on the Isle, especially not in the school.

"Well, well, well, what brings you two here?" our principal greeted us.

"Banished," was Jay's reply.

"You two must've done something really bad to get sent back to this prison."

"Yeah, yeah. The point is, we're gonna be back in town for at least a few days," Jay got right to the point. Very rarely would you hear someone say "going to" or "want to". It's usually "gonna" and "wanna."

With that, all three of us left Dr. Facilier's office and went to Selfishness 101, aka "Selfies" class, taught by Mother Gothel. The three students sitting in the front and center of the class hurried out of their seats to make room for the three evilest children.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here," Gothel said as we walked in the room. "Where are the other two?"

I rolled my eyes. "Auradon," I said bitterly. I still couldn't believe that two of my closest friends gave up evil for that goody-goody country.

"Oh wow. And to think that we were all afraid of Mal, whether we admitted it or not. How could anything persuade her to change just like that? We all thought you four planned that coronation stunt, not just the two of you. I guess we all know who's really evil now, don't we?" Mother Gothel questioned, even though we knew she wasn't looking for an answer. "Very well. You two are welcome to join the class. Or don't. I couldn't care less," the whole class laughed at this. To be fair, not many kids showed up anyway.

Maybe being banished again won't be so bad. We won't be here for long anyway. I have to keep my mind on our mission to take over Auradon.
