Cinder Burns: A Descendants Story

Elle Charming

Elle Charming's eyes fluttered open as she slowly lifted her head from Hayden's shoulder. She hadn't even realize she had fallen asleep.
"What time is it?..." she whispered looking around before she glanced over at the still sleeping Hayden.
She smiled softly remembering how he said he had trouble sleeping so it probably was best not to wake him. A small squeak however grabbed her attention as she turned her head see the rat she had met when Hayden was keeping her trapped in a cell.

"What is it little friend?" She whispered softly hoping not to wake Hayden. The rat continued to squeak rapidly causing Hayden to stir. Elle's eyes widen at the news as she covered her mouth. No it can't be. There was no way!

"Tell your rat it ruined my first good dream" Hayden muttered.

"Hayden, there's someone else on the Isle"

"There's millions of someone elses doesn't mean we have to wake up"

"No Hayden..."

That got Hayden's attention. Elle flinched picking the rat and holding it. Hayden's eyes turned the dark yellow Elle still didn't like seeing as he smirked and stood up.
"Well, we better go greet them"
"Hayden wait."
Elle reaches over grabbing his wrist as worry grew in her chest. She feared the worst was coming and she just had the best moment of her life yesterday.
"We need to think this through first..."
Elle flinched as Hayden pulled his wrist away from her walking away.
"I've been thinking this through for years Elle I'm not waiting anymore"
Elle frowned as her rat friend tried to comfort her. 'I can't leave him alone to face them' she thought as she stood up and ran after the boy who she realized had stolen her heart.
