Ursula's Daughter

Mistakes

"Let's get this prissy princess taken care of already." Morgan commented as everyone walked away from the Cottage. "What do you say Cuz?"

"You know, someday, you're gonna have to tell me how you guys all teamed up." ben commented.

"Actually, Mal and Sophia promised to let all the kids off the Isle once this is over." Evie explained. I paused in my steps, letting everyone walk in front of me.

"River?" Uma muttered when she saw me.

"Guys." I called softly. Everyone stopped and turned to me. "I...I lied to you all." I looked away in shame, "The Kids that are left on the Isle...they won't be coming off it."

"What do you mean?" Jay asked.

"The program is shut down." Mal said. "And the barrier will be closed for good."

"You knew about this?" Evie questioned.

"For Auradon's safety."

"Wait a minute." Morgan said as they stepped towards me, "We're here in Auradon trying to save your precious citizens, and all your backs, for a lie? I knew it was a mistake to try and trust you again. You've always looked out for just yourself, and your family. Apparently, I'm still not part of it."

"And you, King Benny." Harry spoke loudly, gesturing to Ben with his hook. "You're probably just gonna throw us all back inside, eh?" Celia then walked towards me.

"You know what?" She asked rhetorically, her voice shaking. "I always looked up to you, though you were so brave. But you're nothing but a spineless polyp. You were too scared to tell me that we were never gonna see Dad again."

"Starfish..." I trailed off. Celia then reached out, ripping Mum's talisman off my neck. "Celia!" She then ran up to Mal and snatched the Ember from Mal's hand, throwing it into a pool of water.

"Celia! No!" Mal exclaimed. Celia then ran off. I watched her go sadly Mum's talisman tight in her grip. "Regain your might and ignite!" Mal shouted. "Morgan, Uma, can you help me?" She asked.

"No." Morgan stated. "Not after what Sophia did to us." I could feel a couple of pairs of eyes on me.

"Let's go find Gill and leave 'em all to rot." Uma added. I held back tears as Uma left alongside Harry and Morgan. I turned my back on them, my heart unable to take the pain.

"Evie..." I muttered as she slowly approached, "I am so sorry. I-I thought that...I thought that if I told you what was gonna happen I was gonna lose one of my best friends. I had to do something to protect Auradon."

"Closing the barrier was your idea?" Evie asked hollowly.

"I did it so that we could keep our lives here in Auradon. For the life we have now."

"For our life?! What about the kids that we left behind on that island?! The kids that we promised. We were their only hope. I thought you were gonna stand up for the VK's. You as well." Evie turned to Mal for a second before her gaze turned back to me. "But instead you lied to them." Tears started to form in my eyes and spill down my cheeks, "You lied to Jay. And you lied to Carlos. You lied to me. You lied to your own sisters! And look at what they did!" Evie pointed the way that Celia, Uma, Harry and Morgan left by. "We're your family." Evie then turned away.

"Evie, please." I begged, "We had no choice!" There was then a crack of lightning and suddenly, in the places our friends once stood, were stone statues. "No." I sobbed.

Sophia -

Here we are alone, and we deserve it

Our friends have turned to stone
