The Heart of Thief ~ Jay Love Story (Disney Descendants)

7 ~ The Mysterious Girl

In the Isle of the Lost:

Hannah's POV

I ran right back home after what happened with those three villains. I panted when I finally got inside and of course dad heard me coming back. He hurried to me.

"What happened?" he asked his voice full of worry.

"It was nothing", I tried to hide my feelings and act like nothing happened. You could say that's what we do in my family, however, dad always saw through it.

"And where's the bread? Something have happened... tell me honey, please", dad said to me softly.

"Okay, okay..." I said and took a seat from our living room. Dad sat next to me ready to hear what I was going to say.

~~~~~~

"Oh my god!", he was really upset after I told him about Uma and her gang, "I'll find them and tell how to behave towards my daughter..."

"Stop dad. Don't do anything! Would you really like to risk my chance to get to go Auradon because of that?" I said tired of this conversation and went to my room. I locked the door so he couldn't come in.

"Lock your windows too!" dad yelled, "They could try that way if they followed you!" he was clearly frustrated with my "childish behavior".

"But they didn't. I heard what they said after my leaving!" I yelled back, "And please, I need to be alone now!"

"Sorry, I'll go!" he said and went away. I sighed in relief. He gave up pretty fast this time.

I sat on my bed bored once again. At least I had a little adventure today and that made me feel even more bored in my room. Maybe I could sew little bit... No way! It wouldn't be any fun without Evie helping me or telling me her opinions about my works...

About four years before present day in the Isle of the Lost:

Hannah's flashback:

I was in the town. I had to buy some food from market (fruits or something like that I couldn't remember). I had to be quick and unnoticeable. Dad said that when I left home. But it wasn't the first time I was out of our home, no, I had been here with dad. We practiced with him many times how to act normal in here. He taught me the most important things - no one would recognize me, dad had said that too. I had become very good when it comes to acting like a normal girl. But right at that moment, when I was there alone, I was actually nothing but scared.

I had to calm down. I had a knife with me... nothing would happen... I decided to take a shortcut from a little alley. There's much safer in there. Or so I thought. Suddenly someone smashed into me. I lost my balance for a few seconds, fell on the ground and dropped my robe in that accident. Then I saw the girl who just ran into me.

"Oh my gosh!", the girl said, "Where did you get those clothes?"

I looked at my white skirt and elegant magenta jersey as I lifted myself up from the ground, "Oh..." then I realized that my identity was in danger and said to her, "Follow me."

Luckily the girl was on my age so she didn't know that I could be bad for her. Actually, she was even naiver than 12-year-olds usually were - especially for a 12-year-old from the Isle. I took her in our home. Dad wasn't home so I had to handle this alone.

"Wow, you live in a very fancy house", she was really impressed. She sat into the armchair and I sat in front of her. There wasn't any risk she would run away so I didn't tie her up.

"So, do you have any guesses of who I am?" I asked her.

"No... I have never seen you before", she answered and let out a nervous laugh.

"Good. Now you have to go. And if you tell anyone you have seen me and this house, I'm not afraid to use this", I showed my knife to her.

She gasped. "But I thought you would show me your clothes... I have been always interested in fashion... And I thought we might, maybe... be friends!" she almost yelled at me. Her last sentence stopped me.

"You wanna be m-my friend?" I looked at her light brown eyes with my green ones.

She nodded shyly, "I'm Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen", she said to me.

"I'm Hannah, daughter of prince Hans and princess Anna", I introduced myself. Evie gasped again but I still knew that in any case, I had a friend.

The flashback ends.

~~~~~~

I smiled at the memory. We were so young... So much had happened after that moment when we met for the first time. I missed her as I missed Jay too... and the others of course. I really hoped dad would get me in. I couldn't wait to see those four again!

Suddenly I heard knocking from my balcony's window. I winced and almost fell out of my bed. I walked to the window and saw that there was Gil out there. I opened the door and stepped out to the balcony.

"Hi", he said and smirked at me.

"What are you doing in here? How did you even know where I live?" I started to panic.

"Take it easy. I'm not gonna harm you. Nor will I tell Uma where this place is", he said slowly. I sighed when he continued, "I thought you were only myth."

"Well, that's nothing new..." I said, "You know, sometimes I just hope that I could be normal..."

"I can only imagine... you're not a villain like others in here. Oh, you have a royal status too! Why do you even live in here?" he stared at me.

"So true, I'm not a hero, not a villain... I'm nothing", I turned my head away so he couldn't see the tears which formed to my eyes. "And about my family, my mom is unable to take care of me so my dad will carry for me until I'll turn 18. But I might go to the Auradon next week", I told him.

"Really? Good luck then!" he didn't seem to notice how sad I felt. He just smiled at me and scooted closer crabbing my hand. I gasped and pushed him away.

"Oh, I'm so sorry", Gil seemed guilty, "You have boyfriend... He's gonna beat me, right?"

"I'm sure he will... But you're lucky because he's not in the Isle", I looked at my feet knowing I'd said too much.

He paused for a moment and just looked at me smiling knowingly, "He's Jay, isn't he?"
