One Shots

The Demigod [Descendants]

(This of course was written before knowing about Mal and Hades)

They introduced Jay, Evie, Carlos, and Mal; but their's one maniacal legacy that they left out. Nicki, the daughter of Hades. She a demigod with no mother or fatherly love, she though was given the gift of nightmares and the influence of madness. She travels with them to Auradon to attend Auradon Prep.

They come out of the limo in a tumble with a band and a whole welcoming committee that Nicki is disgusted by. Carlos and Jay are fighting over the items from the Limo. Mal then hisses at the both of them as the Fairy Godmother approaches them and Nicki becomes more interested in the gunk under her painted nails. They welcome them and then the girl named Audrey gets very possessive over the Beast Prince. Mal pesters about the wand but gets no where. Nicki looks up when the boy kindly shakes her hand and she wants to pull it away immediately hating formalities. Mal and the Prince experience a moment.

"Some of us really do need to use the bathroom." Nicki says scowling at Audrey and Ben.

"Of course. This way." And so Benjamin leads them through the castle like preparatory academy. Nicki takes it in as the others act similarly. Then Nicki spots the son of Hercules, Harrison. His charming smile that seems to be on every Prince's face, but then there is a devilish stare meant for Nicki. He jumps from the balcony above them in the open hall, with his hands planted on his hips. His dark hair brushing his eye brows.

"You my Silver Fox must be Nicki." He smiles taking her hand about to kiss the top of her hand. Nicki pulls it away and slaps him.

"You Harrison, are my enemy." Nicki frowns, trying to get over his smile.

"Not anymore sweet heart, we're on the same side now." Harrison grins.

"Don't make me slap you again you half wit." Nicki raises her brow with a scowl.

"Harsh." Harrison winks at her.

"Can we get to our rooms Prince Beast." Nicki says crossing her arms.

"Of course, this way." Ben says even putting his hand in the middle of Nicki's back and pushes her forward. She doesn't bother to notice the physical contact.

"Here it is, the girl's suite. Nicki's bed, Mal's, and Evie's; we tried to adapt it the best we could." They stare at beautiful lavish beds. Nicki's has a blue and silver framed bed with a nightmarish comforter, and a half dozen pillows.

"Thanks Beasty, I like the new digs." Nicki slaps him on the back and jumps onto the bed.

"It's Ben actually."

"Yeah whatever Beasty." Nicki kicks off her spiky combat boots onto the floor. Ben leaves with the other two boys to show them their Suite across the hall.

"What was that Nicki?!" Mal says giving her the stink eye.

"What, I was nice, or ish anyway. I'm not part of your little crusade for the wand. My Daddy is a King in Hell, I don't yearn for his approval like you sorry saps do. This is my ticket out because baby Beast is expressing sympathy and diplomacy. I'm the abandoned child of a god." Nicki smiles ripping off her muddy yellow stained socks.

"We aren't seeking for approval!" Evie defends.

"Whatever. I'm going to explore without you losers." Nicki takes off barefoot shedding her hefty patchy black leather jacket showing off her glittering silver tunic and snake skin skinny pants with alligator skin suspenders flapping at her sides.

She slides down the banisters and goes into the courtyard gardens roaming through the forest of flowers, a growth of life. Nicki smells the sweet perfumes that warft around, the beauty ambushing her.

"I knew you had a soft side." She hears Harrison behind her.

"Only away from the brat pack." Nicki evily smirks picking a tulip, twirling it between her fingers.

"Of course. Like you aren't the worst one, Demigod of Nightmare's and madness. Like you don't have a secret agenda to hatch to reek havoc on Auradon." Harrison says walking slow intimidating steps around her.

"Your right. I'm planning to make your life hell. I am planning on driving you crazy." Nicki says her words slow now walking around Harrison, dragging the tulip around his shoulders.

"You've accomplished that." He laughs.

"Details, details my little demi-demigod." Nicki continues down the gardens.

"What else do you have up your sleeve little Silver Fox?"

"Nicknames. Such as little Prince, Hair brain, and more." Harrison chuckles.

"Well Ben was right. You are all innocent." Nicki knows she should find it insulting; but in truth it gives her a warm feeling inside. That she's capable of good things. Nicki has always felt she's sheltered herself from the isle. She's put up her guard of curiosity about the outside world from the beginning. Her love of earthly life. The plants they were managing to grow on the Isle were hard and gamey, here everything is colorful and full of everything one should never take for granted.

"So you going to give me a tour of your world Curly?" Nicki says as Harrison threads the young tulip behind her ear.

"Why not." His shoulders jerk and together they tour the gardens and the woods.

Nicki comes back to the suite with her game face. Her face straight, even though on the inside she's screaming with excitement. Harrison showed her so many wonderful things that were never around on the isle. He opened her eyes wider than she thought they could be opened. But on the outside she doesn't show it.

The room is empty though. No Evie, and no Mal. She crosses the hall to find no Carlos or Jay either. So Nicki finds a night gown in her drawer and after dressing into that she slips under her warm little covers and falls easily to sleep with the blessings of Hypnos and Nyx.

Sadly the cycle of sleep is interrupted by Mal and Evie and the male duo tumble in. Nicki curses to herself in Greek as she pulls the comforter over her head as the pack loudly discusses what they were doing.

"We were so close." Evie wines.

"We almost got caught!" Mal growls.

"I swear if you guys don't go to bed right now I will infect your dreams with vicious nightmares." Nicki's voice rumbles as she pushes her comforter away surprising the four. Carlos retreats with fright hiding behind Jay seeing her eyes burn with Hell's fire.

They silently retreat, Carlos shutting off the light of the room before closing the door. Mal and Evie don't say one more word and Nicki returns to her happy dreams of her and Harrison exploring a maze of towering gardens.
