3rd POV:

It was parents day. A few selected students were singing with prince Ben talking. He was introducing the parents to everyone and even the food.

"Ma cherie Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now, we invite you to relax, let us pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents - Your dinner!" Sylvia watched with the others start to sing and dance.

Everyone gave a round of applause for the performance as the villains and they were met with some skeptical glances before some actually walked up to her.

"Remember guys. Be polite and kind. Do not hog the chocolate. And if Ben introduces you to his parents, smile and be nice. Be prepared for them to be hesitant." Mal nods and Sylvia walks to the others, seeing them try to devour the chocolate fountain.

"Other people want to use the fountain to you jerks!" She hits the backs of their heads before looking up to see Jackie standing with a chocolate covered cherry. She smiles and takes a little bite, smiling at him.

"Come on, meet my mom and dad." She gulped lightly before grabbing a few more cherries before following him. She was nervous, but when she saw a guy with dreadlocks and a cocky smile, she slowly started to relax because of how much they looked alike.

---------------------------------------------------

The event was going fine. She had made a good impression with Jackie's parents and now everyone was playing croaky. That is until everything went to shit when Queen Leah thought that Mal was Maleficent and Audrey got in a fight. When the purple haired girl tried to apologize, Chad wouldn't let her.

"Their parents, Ben. What do you think villains teach their kids? Huh? Kindness? Fair play? No way, okay? Uh-uh. You stole another girl's boyfriend." Mal looked down embarrassed. "Oh. You enjoy hurting people. And you, you're nothing but a gold digger and a cheater." Sylvia got angry. The VK was about to do something they would regret. She stepped in.

"You tried to use Evie's smarts for your own gain. You charmed her into doing your homework because you were too lazy to do it yourself. And after all the crap her mother placed in her head, it's a process to get it out, She's working hard, actually studying, proving she's not just a pretty face!" Chad was taken back by her authoritative voice.

"Jay doesn't like hurting people, he likes the adrenaline rush and the fact he's able to get all the bent up anger out he's been keeping in for so long. Getting hurt is part of the sport, have you gone through the sport without causing some kind of injury to someone else?" He was silent and looked down.

"Mal can't help whop Ben fell in love with. He fell for her and truth be told, it looked as if Audrey was almost forcing the love a little bit. And Carlos. I am so proud of Carlos for getting over his fear of dogs and being better than his mom for actually keeping one as a pet!" She exclaimed loudly, not caring who stares.

"We were here for a second chance, we were chosen for a second chance. You think we would waste it and ruin it over petty stuff like that?" She scoffed and looked back to her friends, patting their shoulders.

"What about you?" She looked back to Audrey who was standing in her space. She was a few inches taller than the perfect sized princess, but she had a false scary face on. "What is your problem?" The red and black haired girl shook her head and crossed her arms, looking at the brunette.

"I am a freak. Born of a spider villain and a woman who never loved me. And I was found abandoned and sent to the isle because the trouble and destruction I could cause. In fact... I was found... By..." She looks down and shakes her head. "It doesn't matter."

"NO! Go on! We want to hear it!" Sylvia cracked her neck and looked to King Beast and Queen Belle. She took out a necklace that was hidden around her neck, showing off the same imprint as Ben's ring. Belle instantly recognized it and took it from her hand. She looked at the red and black haired girl in shock.

"I was just bald back then, I was a baby. I was found by King Beast and Queen Belle but, they couldn't keep me. I was only, a year old and I ended up destroying the nursery and they feared for their son. I was only in their custody for what, a month? Maybe two?" Belle wiped a tear from her eye. Everyone was in complete shock.

"We each had rough lives, some more than others. We were given a chance. I won't let them waste it on anything." She smiles and walks over to her friends,

"You're playing the victim." She looked over to the little princess who was getting angrier. "You might have been found on Auradon. You might have had a rough childhood, but my grandmother never saw my mother." She pushed Sylvia's shoulders and knocked her back a few feet. "You're all the same. Dismembered freaks with evil intentions, I mean, look at you." Her sarong was ripped off and it exposed her spider tattoo and a part of her diamond scar.

"My grandmother had to suffer for years without her daughter. missed memorable moments." Audrey slapped her across the face. "She missed her childhood." Another slap. "All you villains are the same." Slap after slap, she kept getting angrier and angrier.

Suddenly, her face became very spider-like, the second pair of eyes on top of her original, two sets of gold pupils, the whites of her eyes blacked out. She grew large spider fangs. "All you nasty little villains with your disgusting looking powers should have just stayed on the island where you belonged!'

Audrey shoved her so hard, she fell back on the horderve table and Sylvia screamed lightly as the table collapsed. She was covered in cake, frosting, and sauce. Face, arms, and legs covered in scratch marks from the utensils and her head was bleeding from the fall. But when her friends came to help her, everyone was in shock to see a blade sticking out of her side. Her ivory dress was stained crimson, her hand trembling from the pain as she tried to stop the bleeding.

"Somebody get a doctor!" Queen Belle yelled as Mal and the other kids ran to their friend to try to assist her. Blood pooled around her as she started to lose her focus, Audrey covered her mouth before trying to run, only to have the guards grab her arms and keep her in place.

"Come on; Sylvia, stay with me!" Jackie said, holding her face. Her eyelids fluttered, she was trying to keep them open. It was a lot harder than you would think.
