The nice thing about having a family so big? You could generally lean on anyone when you needed things. Or, in this case, when you needed something specific, there was at least one person you could count on. Riley had needed to use the little girls room, and this dress was so poofy that she feared the fabric would either fall into the toilet without her knowing, or swallow her whole in the process. So finding Lena on her way to the bathroom, she was thankful that her cousin didn’t even bat an eye when Riley asked her to help her hold her dress. And it would make for a fun story sometime down the line, that was for sure. Now the two girls had arrived back at the ball, and Riley was busy looking for her date that she didn’t even know who Lena was referencing until she followed her gaze. The youngest Fitzherbert was still surprised to see Beatrice Fae and Mitchell Roux here together, but she didn’t know either of them that well to question it.

As Lena spoke of bigger and better things for Triss, and started negatively speaking about her ex, who just so happened to be Luca’s older brother, Riley found herself confused and curious. What was Lena talking about? Her cousin was one of the most open minded people she has ever met, and Riley would never had suspected that Lena was pro-Isle. “Wait, what’s going on?” She asked, turning her full attention to Lena and softly taking her hand, giving it a squeeze to let her know she was here for her. “Hey, Lena, what happened?” She grew serious in a matter of seconds. Riley tried to be kind and optimistic but when it came to her family she would probably kill for them if need be. Looking around the room, Riley saw a table off to the side with no one there and pulled Lena with her so they could sit down. “Tell me everything.”

All Aleena could muster in that moment was to shuffle behind Riley as she allowed the other girl to pull her towards the closest empty table that was enough out of anyone’s way so as to not draw attention to themselves. A server with a tray full of champagne flutes waltzed by them, and swiftly did she pull one of the glasses for herself before she ultimately settled down beside Riley. Raising the glass to her lips, she pulled a rather large gulp of the drink to ease the nerves thrumming right underneath the surface before she finally locked eyes with her cousin. “You know Sterling?” Even saying his name caused her heart to jump to her throat, as if uttering his name three times out loud would summon him from whatever ditch he hopefully would’ve fallen into by now. She drew in a sharp breath, tucking a piece of stray hair behind her ear. “We ran into each other at the Duckling a while ago.” 

“He was a dick to me right from the jump and you know how I get, Riles -- I wasn’t going to let him get away with that shit, but maybe I shouldn’t have said something, or maybe I should have just--” Her words slipped past her lips faster than her mind could formulate the sentences, forcing herself to stop to center herself once more. “He threatened me. And then he got right in my face and told me if I ever thought of telling anyone about our encounter that he’d say I was lying. That he’d spin everything I said so I could look like I’m just some other bigoted royal and he the victim.” 

The glass she held in her hand frosted as she spoke, and she set it down on the table before it shattered under the weight of her magic. “That wasn’t the worst part, though. The worst part is that when I looked into his eyes, I saw... I saw nothing, Riley. There was nothing behind his eyes. And now when I sleep, all I can see are his eyes.” She clenched her hands in her lap and said, “I don’t think he’s above doing what he has to do to get out on top. And I don’t think he cares who he hurts to get there. He’s worse than Hans because at least Hans is an isle away. Here, there’s nothing to stop him from getting his way. From doing what his dad couldn’t do.”

ARIA: I have a very important question for you.

ARIA: Would you please do me the honor of coming to Seaside before break ends so I can SEE MY BEST FRIEND?

ALEENA: i have only one request.

ALEENA: if, and only if, you promise to take me to the water park and ride on each and every waterslide with me.

[aleenaandersen]

Fmk: Vaughn, Callum & Baron

F: Baron. May have even thought about it once or twice. Sue me. He’s cute. 

M: Vaughn. Vaughn’s pretty near and dear to me. He’s kind and he’s, like, way too good for me, but I don’t know… it’d be nice, I think – um, within the context of the game, of course. 

K: Callum. Listen… I adore Callum. I love him. I like even the bouts of silence he falls into sometimes when he’s brooding over something or another. But I’d never fuck him, and if I were to marry him, it’d be way more of, like, a platonic companionship than anything, so for the sake of the game, uh… RIP, bud. We still on for beignets?

[aleenaandersen]

What was your family's reaction when you first got powers?

My mom sort of freaked, but in the really intense, quiet way she does, where it’s all in the eyes. I don’t think she ever thought her powers would be something she’d pass onto me. My cousins all thought it was cool - Fjord said something about it being rad or tight or whatever the hell he says since he was the one with me when they first showed up while trying to break my fall. Finn probably thought it was the coolest out of everyone, though. He’s always been way more into magic than all of us combined. I knew my powers were cool and all, but I don’t know… seeing him get so excited about them made me more excited. Even now, when I’m struggling with keeping it in control, he kind of always knows what to say to make me feel.. normal. If I didn’t love him so much, I’d want to freeze his ass for being so annoyingly wise all the time. 

[aleenaandersen]

Fmk: one of the Christensens, one of the Nautilus', or one of the Thana's (name which)

F: Manu Nautilus. Here’s hoping he’s better at it than his pool game. 

M: Cori Thana. I’d make her Spotify playlists, and she’d judge my music taste, but I’d take it because she’s cute. 

K: Sterling Christensen. Rot. 

[aleenaandersen]

[aleenaandersen]

Aleena huffed as lithe arms fell to her sides, her white-blonde hair falling into her face that she pushed back indignantly as Finn stood opposite her. Their disappearance from the castle hadn’t come as a shock to anyone that morning, not even when they were in the wee hours, as their mothers had unfortunately found out many years ago. They’d take their leave as the sun rose and would come back sometime as it set behind the horizon with endless tales of the adventures they’d embark on. Even now, seemingly past such childish tendencies, they still would find even just an afternoon away from others so they could go past the limits of Arendelle and deeper into the forest, where Lena felt more at home than she ever did pent up on their castle’s grounds. 

While Finn was a welcomed distraction from what she bore on her shoulders, it didn’t exactly shake every last lingering thought that was nagging away at the forefront of her mind. Still, he tried more than most would to help her understand her powers and was patient beyond his years, and for that, she appreciated him more than she’d ever say aloud, but just now, she was losing sight of the point of it all. “Finn, it’s no use,” Aleena said defeatedly, staring down at her frosty-tipped hands. “I’m just never going to be able to control it. I’m never going to be like my mom.”

Keeping their distance with one another was probably among one of the better decisions that the Christensens and Aleena had made, but their unspoken agreement had crumbled into nothing when Sterling had overstepped that night at the Duckling, forcing her to confront the fact that the very family that wished hers harm were walking among her, were attending her school, were charming her family. The Christensens invaded what appeared to be every facet of her life, and the winter solstice ball was no exception. Sterling wasn’t anywhere to be seen, but she had noticed the others sometime after she arrived. 

She had no intention of talking to any of them if they were half as bad as their eldest brother, but as fate would have it, Lena had come across Kaela as she made her way into the restroom to touch up her makeup. For a moment, she had half a mind to turn on her heel and leave right then, but her stubbornness forced her to stand her ground, pushing her way inside until she stood to her right, her eyes focusing on her reflection in the mirror. No way in hell was she going to let another one of Hans’ spawn scare her away. “The ball’s beautiful, isn’t it?” she said as she pulled the lipstick from her pocket and uncapped the top. With a twist of the tube, Lena brought it to her lips, dabbing the deep red color gently. She kept her tone friendly, light, even if her next words were anything but. “Kind of a shame none of you deserve to enjoy it, though.”

Aleena’s eyes darted across the crowds of people in attendance when she first arrived. If Sterling was present, she wanted to make it a point to be at opposite sides of the ballroom from him at any given moment because she wouldn’t know what he’d say or do if they came face to face again; the last thing she wanted from the night was to have him ruin it by even so much as looking in her general direction. Try as she did to appear at ease, she didn’t fully relax until she had spotted Triss -- and the noticeable absence of Sterling on her arm. Weren’t they together? Wasn’t King Mitch with someone else? Her brain worked to connect the dots without knowing any of the context, but at the end, she deduced Triss must’ve merely noticed the monster that crawled into her bed and left him before he could drag her down with him. 

“Good for her,” she said aloud, taking a sip of her drink as she watched the couple from afar, with Riley at her side. “She deserved better than that asshole she was with,” she told her, “He’s the reason they put people like them on that island. Where they can’t hurt people.” Perhaps it was the champagne that caused her to be so blunt with her words, bordering on malicious, which was out of character for her -- or perhaps it was the lingering fear of their encounter that made her say what she did, that made her mean every word of it. “Riley,” Aleena said softly, shifting her gaze to look to her younger cousin, “I, um... I haven’t been able to sleep well lately. Because of--” She took a deep breath to settle the sickly feeling in the pit of her stomach. “Because something happened.”

Anyone who was anyone within Auradon City was expected to make an appearance at the Winter Solstice Ball. Regal events that required prim and formal attire weren’t necessarily anything Aleena ever bothered to attend if she could help it, but there was no way she’d miss tonight if it meant she could spend it alongside her friends before they embarked on their winter breaks and were separated by land and sea. And if she were to endure the night, it surely wouldn’t be on her own, which was why she had convinced Callum to come as her date -- platonically, of course, much to the chagrin of their mothers. If not at her side, she knew he’d likely find the loneliest corner in all of the ball to awkwardly stand in, so she kept him rather close, the two standing to the side of the ballroom in order to watch others dance for a moment. 

Their presence hadn’t gone unnoticed, however, garnering bewildered looks from some party-goers who couldn’t believe he was the one who had donned the skirt and she the suit. It was a kilt, of course, but it was all the same in the eyes of those who were so rigidly stuck in the ways of such antiquated gender roles. It didn’t take long for Lena to notice, and when she did, she made it a point to stare just as pointedly back until people would eventually scramble in embarrassment and pretend as if something caught their attention elsewhere. Gods, people were stupid. After a while, though, it was far more amusing than daunting, and she nudged Callum with her elbow as she said, “How about we take a shot every time someone gawks?” Aleena said it in jest, of course -- unless...

ALEENA: same question with you, fi, and the rest of the scooby gang.

vaughndarling‌:

Feeling Aleena shift on top of him didn’t do anything to calm his nerves but he did stop speaking. Forcing his eyes to focus on her as she spoke. His hands moved to settle against the sides of her thighs. Seeing as they didn’t have many other places to rest. “Oh… yeah that makes sense.” he breathed out as he willed himself to not think about their current position. It was the last thing he needed, he instead focused on her words and the lights. “I mean I bet a shoot from this position would be interesting, true up view.” His brow tilted a bit as she continued on with her train of thought. Shifting up on to his elbows Vaughn watched as Lena used her magic. 

The lights seemed to shine even more majestically with the help of the girl’s magic. As they shined they only future illuminated the beauty that was currently sitting on him. His eyes were fixed on her smile and the way that she seemed to light up as much as the string in her hands. “It’s beautiful,” slipped from his lips. He definitely wasn’t just talking about the lights but he’d already blurted that out once he figured he should cover quickly. “It so cool, what you can do just with putting your mind to it. Now, this would make an amazing shoot..” slipped from his lips quietly as he offered her a warm smile. “You’re kind of amazing you know that?” 

As quickly as the sweet words left his lips, so did the lights dim in her hands, her smile dwindling into a thin line, trying hard not to appear as outwardly defeated as she felt inside. Her powers seldom liked to work with her, so it hadn’t surprised her when they’d inevitably go out, but she hoped for even a moment longer to bask in the radiant glow she had created all on her own. “You think so?” she said, though she had a hard time believing it in that moment, shifting herself off of him to sit beside him, sighing under her breath. “You’re kind.” Too kind, perhaps, but she wouldn’t utter that part aloud. After all, there was little wrong with someone so kind in the world, not when fear and hatred ran so rampant. 

“I’d probably have to practice a little more if you wanted to get it on camera,” she said as she began to try to pull the lights from around Vaughn in order to free him from the mess she had accidentally made. “I’m not like my mom, who can just do it all like...” Aleena’s free hand moved in graceful, elegant motions the way Elsa’s would when she conjured something made of snow and ice out of thin air, the very movements she tried to mimic on her own in her attempt to have some semblance of knowing how it all worked, on knowing how to control it. 

It never worked how she hoped it would. 

With a nonchalant shrug, she shouldered the disappointment and pushed it afar for the time being, having no need to reel Vaughn into the pity she brought onto herself when there were more pressing issues at hand -- like detangling all these damn lights. “Hold still for a moment,” Lena muttered to keep him put as she carefully moved around the strings from his shoulders, past his head. She worked quietly for a moment, lost in what she was doing, but all silence ceased when she pulled the last string of lights from around him and announced, “Ta-da! You’re free! Now, go, leave while you still can. I’ll be here, trying to untangle these sons of bitches until I die, but remember me fondly, aye?”

At this point, he could sense the fear radiating off her, fueling that desire for power of another that he’d forgotten he needed so badly. Sterling had been fairly tame, especially with his relationship with Beatrice progressing so far, flying under the radar and gaining respect of royals left and right. But when it came to Aleena, he knew off the bat that she wouldn’t buy it even if he served it to her on a platinum crested platter. So why even try when he could have some fun with her? Most of the time when people brought up his father, he faked innocence, pulling the agreement card that his father was in fact a monster, that he was miserable on the Isle, that he was so, so grateful to have a chance to better his life and start over. Beatrice had eaten it up, as had other royals he told the sob story to. But that was the point:

It was all a load of crap.

Hans had always favored him, treated him with respect, raised him to be strong and powerful to make a new name for their disgraced family that once had some respect to their name. While his father may have been deemed devious, Sterling was probably worse. He learned from his father’s foolish mistakes, Hans was impatient and reckless, much like the younger siblings Luca and Clara. He didn’t think things through, he rushed it and fucked up majorly which was what got them to the isle. He was careless. Sterling was patient, tactical, everything he did had a reasoning to it. Right now, however, he was just having a bit of harmless fun to shake up a headstrong princess. “Wow, I didn’t know bumping into a little princess in a packed bar was a crime around here…must not have taught me that when I got here, your majesty.” He said smoothly, brow raising a bit as he kept that devious snarl on his lips, the topic of his father bringing a low, hollowed out laugh from the depth of his strong chest, “Ah, yes, the whole father situation. A real shame, maybe in another life, we could’ve been….close.” But then she pushed him back, he felt the icy burn from her finger tips, but it only ignited his adrenaline. “Aw, now you’re breaking my heart here. Snap judgements, I should’ve expected as much. What, your mother’s ice cold heart make you that much of a judgemental bitch?” He snapped back, low enough for only her to hear as his head fell to the side, surveying her before laughing again under his breath, “Predictable, all of you, so predictable.”

The way he said, “your majesty,” mocked her, plainly, and the wicked flicker in his eyes didn’t deter once, causing every hair on her arms to stand on end as his gaze stayed firmly planted on hers. It was like a car wreck; no matter how much she wished to look away from him, she couldn’t, frozen to her spot, figuratively speaking, with no words she could conjure in that moment to defend herself, no amount of will strong enough to swallow back the ball that formed in her throat. It wasn’t until he used her mother’s name that she found her voice again, fueled by the surge of anger that raced through her. "You don’t talk about my mother,” she spat, “you have no right. Not you or any of your fucking family.” Drag Aleena’s name as much as he wanted, but there was no way he’d even come close to touching Elsa or her name. Not over her dead body. “You shouldn’t be here. You don’t belong here.” And when she said that, she didn’t mean the Snuggly Duckling. She meant the whole damn country. He was better off elsewhere, preferably under a rock, or in a ditch, where he’d wither away into nothing. “You may have everyone fooled, but I see you,” she said, her pride forcing her to step closer to him. “I see you. And I’m going to make sure everyone else does, too.”
