Bella is the daughter of Queen Belle and King Beast, and the little sister of soon-to-be King Ben. Bella was beyond excited about the kids of the Isle of the Lost coming to live in Auradon, but she never expected to fall for one of them.

*Carlos' P.O.V*
I wandered around campus with Dude thinking about what just happened in Remedial Goodness class. And no, I'm not talking about the disaster that was talking to our parents via video chat. I'm talking about the fact that Bella tried to kiss me. I know, we just spoke to our parents for the first time since we arrived here in Auradon and I'm thinking about a girl, pathetic, right?
I wanted Bella to kiss me. Boy, did I want her to kiss me. I wanted her to kiss me so bad, but I couldn't let her, not when she didn't really want to, that's not how I want our first kiss to go. I regretted giving Bella the love potion the second she bit into the cookie, but by that time it was too late. Now, she's all over me and acting like she's in love with me and I feel terrible.
God, what is wrong with me? I'm supposed to be a villain, I'm supposed to be mean and nasty and have no conscience and yet, here I am, fantasising about the perfect first kiss with this perfect girl that I seem to be falling for and feeling bad about putting her under a spell because I'm too insecure and afraid that she won't ever feel the same way about me on her own.
Get a grip, Carlos.
The next day, I tried to avoid Bella. I didn't have much luck with that in Remedial Goodness and just like before, she was all over me. In any other situation, I would've loved it and I probably would've been blushing like mad whenever she kissed me on the cheek, but I couldn't focus on anything but the guilt that settled in the pit of my stomach and made me feel slightly nauseous. Thankfully, I made a run for it after Remedial Goodness and didn't see her again that day.
That evening, Mal and Evie came into mine and Jay's room so we could talk about the coronation and the plan that we would have to put into action in less than a week. I was nervous, terrified even, to say the least, as we all were. I didn't even want to go through with this stupid plan, I didn't want to steal that stupid wand and set our parents free just so they could invade Auradon and ruin everything. There was no doubt in my mind that they would try to destroy Bella's family, what with her parents being king and queen and with Ben being crowned king this week. I just can't bare the thought of anything happening to her and it being all our faults, all my fault.
"Okay, so we all know what this looks like," Mal began, pointing to the drawing of Fairy Godmother's wand. We were all sat around the table in our room, with papers and maps and stuff spread out so we could plan in detail, "So we'll be up on the dais, under the beast's spell jar, and we'll be coming in from here. I will be up at the very front, and you will all be up on the balcony. Carlos?" The purple haired girl looked at me expectantly and so did Evie and Jay.
"Okay, so, I'll find our limo so we can break the barrier and, uh, get back on the island with the wand." I explained.
"Perfect," Mal said before taking out a perfume bottle and presenting it to Evie, "Evie, you will use this to take out the driver. Two sprays and he will be out like a light."
"Okay." Evie nodded.
Once we were finished planning, Jay went and sat on his bed while Mal, Evie and I stayed at the table.
"Mal?" I began and she looked at me curiously.
"Yeah?"
I took a deep breath before shakily asking, "Could you... Is there any way to... Um, I think..."
"Spit it out, Carlos." She snapped, being more irritable than usual due to the circumstances.
"I want to reverse Bella's love spell." I finally admitted, my palms sweating with nerves as I waited for Mal to notice the guilt on my face and tell me that villains aren't supposed to feel bad.
Instead, she surprised both me and Evie, and Jay who was listening from his bed, by saying, "I'm sorry, Carlos, but you'll have to wait until I figure out how to make a reversal potion for Ben." We all turned to look at her in shock.
"You wanna break Ben's love spell?" Evie asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, you know...for after," Mal shrugged, "I've just been thinking, you know, when the villains finally do invade Auradon and begin to loot, and kick everyone out of their castles, and imprison their leaders, and destroy all that is good and beautiful, Ben still being in love with me just seems a little extra...cruel." She looked like she was on the verge of tears by the time she finished talking, which none of us expected. Mal never cries.
"M..." Evie trailed off sadly but Mal didn't reply, she just got up and walked out of the room.
Maybe I'm not the only one who's let their guard down a little since arriving in Auradon.
