Descendants

9

The week goes by in a flash and finally its family day in Auradon. Everyone dresses nicely and is up at almost dawn to finish the preparations for the day.

The parents begin arriving at eleven and by one in the afternoon they've all arrived except of course the villains.

Mal is in a foul mood. They've spent the last week planning the wand robbery and yesterday they finished the details. Victoria on the other hand is happy, she's very excited for today. When they reach the grounds where the tables and food are set up she leaves them.

"Tori over here!" Daniel calls to her when he sees her

"Hey Daniel" Victoria smiles warmly at him

"You look beautiful" he says eyeing her red dress that goes to her knees, she has her usual shoes on and purple necklace with a pretty stone in the middle. Her hair is down and curled

"You clean up nicely yourself" she winks at him, he's dressed in a dark green suite with a black shirt. He mock twirls and she laughs

"I told you I'd introduce you to my parents" he says and grabs her hand and leads her to where a couple are standing near the appetizers

"They should've told me to make them" the woman says looking in disapproval at the food before her "the biscuits are stale and the cream needs salt"

"Sweetheart not everyone is such an amazing chef like you" the man chuckles and kisses her cheek

"Mom, dad" Daniel stands tall and puffs out his chest, Victoria smoothed her dress and fixes her hair. The couple turns around and smiles at their son

"Daniel" the woman smiles and hugs him

"Son" the man shakes his hand

"This is Victoria" Daniel introduces

"Your girl?" The man smirks

"Naveen!" The woman smacks his arm

"With all due respect King Naveen," Victoria smiles "I'm no ones girl" the man laughs

"My apologies" he smiles and bows his head in apology

"Dad" Daniel whines

"Victoria what a pretty name" the woman says

"Thank you queen Tiana" Victoria bows to her

"I didn't quite catch your last name" she says kindly

"Facilier" Victoria smiles

"I told you about her remember?" Daniel says "Victoria Facilier my friend?"

"Ah yes dear I remember" Tiana smiles warmly

"How is your father?" Naveen asks

"Trapped on an island with the rest of the villains" Victoria smiles "he's fine" Naveen and Tiana laughs nervously and Daniel tries his best not to smile

"Yes of course" Naveen chuckles awkwardly "I'm sorry"

"I accept your apology" Victoria nods her head Tiana steps forward and leans down to whisper in her ear

"I'm sorry about your mother" she whispers, Victoria tenses her hands all into fists at her sides "I know it doesn't change anything but... I fought against that act I thought it was barbaric but sadly I lost. You have friends here I hope you know that" Tiana pulls away smiling sadly at her.

Victoria blinks away her tears and hears the students sing to the parents, she uses the distraction to turn around and wipe her eyes. She turns back with a genuine smile on her lips

"It does make a difference" Victoria says "now I know that you're not all to blame" she gives the queen a quick hug which surprises her but Tiana quickly returns it and hugs her tightly

"I have to go" Victoria smiles and joins her friends

"Tori everything okay?" Daniel asks walking beside her his face filled with worry

"Fine" she smiles and grabs his hand and leans into him "its all good" she gives him a kiss on the lips and smiles "everything's clearer" Daniel beams and holds her close to him.

"Hey Victoria" Ben greets her when they approach Mal and the others

"Hey where are you going?" Victoria asks

"We're gonna play cricket with my parents come join us" he smiles

"Gladly" she smiles Evie winks at her when she sees her hand with Daniels Victoria blushes slightly. They're playing cricket and having a really good time when a woman approaches Mal.

Jay notices and tells the others who turn and stay alert watching Mal and the woman talk. When Audrey steps in they start walking towards Mal, Ben realices it and walks with them

"You!" The woman screams causing Mal to jump back "how did you escape?! You haven't aged a day"

"No queen Diana" Ben steps in "it's not Maleficent she's still on the island, this is her daughter Mal due to the program I made" the queen shakes her head shaking from anger

"I missed everything!" She shouts at Mal "my daughters first word! Her first steps! Everything!"

"So did my mother, and Jays" Victoria says but those who hear her ignore her

"And her no good daughter will probably be the same" Audrey says "I say we send them back already"

"Listen here Audrey" Mal hisses her eyes flash green, Chad steps in front of her and pushes Mal back Jay steps in and Evie takes out a knock out perfume that was for the driver tomorrow and shoots two poofs in front of Chad who wobbles and faints immediately. Audrey yells in surprise and everyone begins to gather

"What did you do you little..." Audrey snarls but Victoria opens her mouth and sings a few words that immobilize her

"Careful Audrey" Victoria purrs "if the song ends so do you" she sings a few more words and Audrey falls to her knees gasping for breath. A hand on her shoulder makes her stop. Audrey coughs and takes deep breaths

"You're all monsters" she wheezes "like your parents"

"I won't deny that Audrey" Victoria snarls "but do you know where the real monsters are? They're right behind you" Audrey looks behind her to the kings and queens of the fairy tails

"You're crazy" Lonnie says frightened "these are our parents"

"They're the real villains of you ask me" Evie hisses "what did it matter if Maleficent went to a party, if Jafar wanted to get out from under all the oppression of the sultan, if Cruella had a pet, if my mother wanted to be beautiful?!"

"Our parents weren't born monsters, they were made" Jay spits "by you. All of you" everyone is so startled by their outbursts that they're silent. They all turn and leave, Daniel stays beside Victoria and goes with her.
