Charlotte Cheshire: Adopted By The King And Queen

Chapter 22

~~ Time skip of two and a half years. Charlotte is now nine and a half and has matured since we last saw her. She still want's to go back to the Isle, but she doesn't go to extreme lengths to get there. Not when there's a secret door that won't stop calling her at least once a month! :3 ~~

Charlotte's POV

I wandered the halls of Auradon Prep with Alanna and Ellie, who started two years ago. "Charlotte, why do you keep coming here when you still have three years until you should start?" Allie (That's the nickname I gave her) asked me when we reached their lockers. "Because it's better than hanging around with Carla and Jake all day whilst everyone is either here or doing their jobs," I replied, leaning on the locker. El smiled at me, "True. But Isn't Carla starting Auradon Prep next year? You can't leave Jake alone, he's the same age as you and would need a friend!" I rolled my eyes. "But he can hang out with Jaz and Jack Jr. like always," I told her (Jack Jr. is the son of Jack Sparrow btw). The bell suddenly rang and I sighed as I hugged my friend's goodbye. They promised to see me after class, and I nodded before wandering the now empty halls.

"And why is my daughter roaming the halls of the school she doesn't even attend yet?" I heard Dad's voice ask me. I turned and smiled at him, running to give him a hug. "Hey, dad. I was actually talking with Alanna and Ellie before they left for class, so now I'm just bored." I told him. He smiled and picked me up and we walked to his office. He's become the school's Principal, and FG just does "Remedial Goodness 101" and Cooking classes now. He shut his door and I went over to one of the desk chairs before spinning myself on it like crazy. "Definitely a wonderlander." He smiled, sitting at his desk. I smiled at him and stopped spinning to look at what he was doing. "What are you looking at those for?" I asked, recognising all the names there. Hailey Hades, Hannah Hearts, George Gothel, Sarah and Sasha Smee, Freya Frollo, and Sophia Stabbington. Lukas Scar was there too, but his file was separate from the rest. "Dad, why do you have these!?" I asked him again, snatching Hannah's record.

Hannah and I were always close on the Isle. I promised her that on her thirteenth birthday, we would go to Wonderland and find our parents, and I still keep that promise. The girl still has four years to go, but I can take her when I'm old enough. "Charlotte, give them back. If you must know, I'm thinking of bringing them to Auradon to show them a better life. Hannah and the younger ones would be staying with families near here, and Freya, Sophie, Hailey and Lukas would either be starting the school or going to a family too." He told me, taking Hannah's file. Hailey and Lukas would be old enough to be in their first and second years by now, but Sophie and Freya would have to wait another year each to start. "Dad, if you bring Hailey and Lukas here, I am never coming to Auradon Prep until I'm old enough to attend! They'd just bully me like Ally and Maddie do. Blake and Will aren't around to do it, but I know they would if they were! You can't be serious, can you!?" I exclaimed, tears of anger forming in my eyes. 

Dad sighed and nodded, "Yes, I am serious. They're going to be here next week, and I've already picked families for them all to go to. And before you ask, Hailey and Lukas will be going with Jaz's family." I looked at him in shock and then anger. Groaning angrily, I left his office and ran home, not wanting to see anyone at that precise moment. "He can't be serious about this! He knows what Hailey and Lukas were like towards me on the Isle! And it'll just be ten times worse if they befriend Ally and Maddie!" I told myself as I locked my bedroom door and sat with my back against it. My thoughts were distracted when I heard the familiar voice that haunted me every month. "Charlotte, you don't belong here. Just come back to the Isle! The door will help you with that." It told me, sounding awfully like my real Mum. I shook my head and replied, "No. You did this two and a half years ago, and look where that got me! No, I'm not going back to the Isle just yet. Uma still hates me, so I wouldn't have anywhere to go anyway!"
