CHAPTER TWO (of frozen heart)
Living on the Isle was for sure a big change for Elisa. The Isle of the Lost was completely different than Auradon. While in Auradon it was all smiley and colorful, on the Isle of the Lost it was dreary and dull. Everything was gray, gloomy, and just plain dark. She didn't think she would ever get used to it. The place was like a prison, almost. Everyone was trapped in here. They didn't have any hope to escape this place, especially Elisa.
It was hard to get used to living on the Isle. Everyone knew who she was, or at least knew her name, and everyone also had the same thought: "What is the daughter of Elsa and Jack Frost doing here?" or "What is she doing here with us? She doesn't belong here. She should be living with the royals in Auradon."
Of course, there was some that were happy to have a new addition to the Isle and who took her in under their wing. She became fast friends with Carlos De Vil, Evie Queen, Mal daughter of Maleficent and Jay son of Jafar. They welcomed her into their little group and Elisa was happy that she had friends that were willing to look after her, especially since her powers weren't working.
Honestly, she felt relieved her powers didn't work here. On the Isle magic didn't work. But on the Isle she was able to just be herself and not worry about losing control of her powers and hurting someone. It was like a weight was off her shoulders. Sure, her life was completely different now, but at least she wasn't afraid to lose control anymore and she was able to be herself. Her life on the Isle was completely different than her life in Auradon, but she honestly warmed up to the fact she's living on the Isle. She was surprised to admit she didn't mind staying there and was happy that she had her four best friends by her side.

"Stealing candy from a baby Mal? I'm so disappointed." Maleficent said, clearly in fake disappointment.
"It was from a baby." Mal grinned.
Maleficent smirks. "That's my nasty little girl."
She takes the lollipop from Mal, putting it in her armpit for a few seconds before she handed it to one of her goons. "Give it back to the dreadful creature."
"Mom." Mal whined.
"It's the deeds, Mal, that was the difference between mean and truly evil." Maleficent explained, saying the last part in a sing-song voice while she waved at the child's mother.
"When I was your age, I was-" Maleficent started.
"Cursing entire kingdoms." Mal and Maleficent both said, but Mal had more of an annoyed look on her face.
"You! Walk with me." Maleficent pointed at Mal. Maleficent threw an arm around Mal's shoulder and guided her a few feet away from where her friends stood.
"So, you think by the look of her face, is it good news or bad news?" Elisa asked as she looked at her friends.
"It looks complicated." Carlos mumbled as he and the others tried to listen in on what Maleficent was talking with Mal about, but they didn't get much luck.
"Oh! I got news!" Maleficent shouted suddenly turning around to face the others.
"Bury the lead." She instructed her goons and they went to stand behind Elisa, Evie, Carlos and Jay.
"You five have been chosen to go to a different school....in Auradon!" Maleficent dramatically said to them.
Evie, Carlos, and Jay started to run away, but the knuckleheads caught them. Elisa was frozen at hearing the name Auradon. She forgot all about Auradon...Well, she didn't exactly forget about all of it. She tried to forget it. She tried to forget how they didn't want her and didn't accept her. Auradon was suppose to be a place of accepting, well that was the opposite of what they did. She still wears the ring that Ben gave her all those months ago and the necklace that her family gave to her.
Soon she was packed and the five of them were heading towards the limo that was waiting outside. Carlos was the first to get in, then Jay, Evie, Mal, and then Elisa. Once the door was shut, Jay, Carlos, and Elisa started digging into the candy that was in the limo. Elisa forgot how good this stuff was.
"Guys, look!" Evie suddenly exclaimed while she points in front of her. The other four looks at what she was pointing at and their eyes widen.
"It's a trap!!" Carlos yelled.
They all huddled up together and screamed. Elisa was the only one acting like normal since she knew what this was. "It's just magic."
Once they were all calm, Carlos nodded as he glanced back out the window. "R-Right, yeah. Just magic no biggie."
The limo pulls up in front of the school they were welcome signs and posters everywhere and they even had the band playing as the limo drove up.
Looking over her shoulder whenever she heard arguing, she realized that Carlos and Jay were fighting over...A towel. Of all things they could fight over, they fought over a towel. Sometimes she wondered why she was friends with them. When the door was open, that resulted into the boys falling out and onto the ground.
"Why do you want it? You got everything else!" Carlos shouted as he tried getting it out of Jay's grasp.
"Because you want it!" Jay yelled back at him, tugging back on the towel.
Evie flips her hair over her shoulder as she gracefully stepped out of the car. She walks over the two boys as Mal and Elisa followed her. Elisa looks around the place, thinking it looked the exact same. She furrows her eyebrows at seeing the marching band, thinking that they went a little over the top for their arrival. She glances back at Mal when she speaks.
"Guys," Mal hisses. "We have an audience."
Jay and Carlos look up and then quickly stood up as the Fairy Godmother walked forward, standing in front of the five. "Leave it like you found it," She said in a sing-song voice with a smile. "And by that I mean just leave it."
Jay and Carlos threw the towel and other stuff they had somehow gotten back into the limo then turned to face the front.
"I'm Auradon's headmistress, Fairy Godmother." She introduced herself with a kind smile on her face.
"The Fairy Godmother?" Mal questions, suddenly intrigued. "As in Bipppity-Boppity-Boo?"
"Bippity-Boppity you know it." Fairy Godmother said as she looked over at Elisa and smiles. "It's wonderful to see you again, dear."
Elisa just nods, pursing her lips in a tight line. She's surprised Fairy Godmother talked to her, but decided not to say anything. Mal forces a smile. "You know, I always wondered what it felt like for Cinderella when you just appeared out of nowhere. With that sparkly wand, and warm smile, and sparkly wand."
Elisa couldn't help but role her eyes. 'Smooth Mal. Like that wasn't obvious at all.' She sarcastically thought.
Fairy Godmother just smiles. "Awe, well that was in the past. And as I always say, 'Don't focus on the past, or you'll miss the future.'" She told them while making hand motions.
Ben smiles at them, his gaze lingering on Elisa a bit longer than normal. His smile widen at noticing the ring that he gave her all those months ago was still on her finger then he quickly looked away before Elisa saw him looking. He looks at each of them with a smile. "Hello everybody. My name is Ben-"
"Prince Benjamin, soon to be king!" Audrey interrupted.
Elisa definitely did not miss her one bit. She watches Evie step forward and she smiles a bit. "You had me at 'prince'. My mom's a queen which makes me a princess." Evie smiled while doing a curtsy.
"The evil queen has no royal status here, and neither do you." Audrey snarked.
Elisa sent a glare her way, feeling her powers strengthen inside her. She wanted to make Audrey an icicle so bad right now.
Ben chuckles nervously. "And this is Audrey-"
"His girlfriend!" Audrey interrupted.
Elisa felt her heart start to shatter into pieces. Why was she surprised? She didn't expect Ben to wait for her for who knows how many years and he probably doesn't even like her. Well, he definitely doesn't like her now that he is with Audrey. Why Audrey of all people? Doesn't he remember that she was one of the reasons she was sent to the Isle?
Audrey smiles at Ben, grabbing a hold of his hand as Fairy Godmother placed her hands on the couples hands.
"Ben and Audrey are going to show you all around," She stated and with that she left leaving Ben, Audrey and the other five standing there. Ben then walked up to them and started shaking each of their hands.
"It is so, so great to finally meet you." Ben told them.
Jay punched him in the shoulder whenever he went to shake his hand. He went on to shake Mal's hand, but she gent him a glare and refused so he moved on to Carlos. After shaking Carlos' hand he moved on to Elisa.
Once they grabbed onto each others hands, it was like time has stopped. It was as if they were the only ones standing there. It was obvious that they were staring at each other longer than normal. Elisa quickly realized this and pulled her hand away. Ben nervously smiled at her before he stepped back beside Audrey and Fairy Godmother.
"This is a momentous occasion. One that I hope will go down in history. As the day that our two peoples begin to heal." Ben smiled.
"Or this could be the day where you show five people the bathrooms are at." Elisa remarked sarcastically even though she knew this place like the back of her hand.
"A little bit over the top?" Ben asked, a smile on his face.
Elisa nods and she replies with, "Oh, yeah. It was way more than a little bit."
"So, much for my first impression then." Ben sighed and the two shared a laugh.
"Oh, wait a minute, you're Elisa! Yeah, I remember you, you're the one that almost froze Auradon!" Audrey said to Elisa with a fake smile on her face.
Elisa balled her hands into fists until she felt a comforting hand on her shoulder. She looked over she saw it was Evie who sent her a small smile which calmed her down enough to take a deep breath.
"Yeah, well, the past is in the past." She said, sending a fake smile back at Audrey.
Audrey let out a small fake laugh before she looks over at Mal. "Oh. Hey, you're Maleficent's daughter aren't you? Yeah, I totally don't blame you for your mother trying to kill my mother and stuff."
Mal looks at her with a bored expression. "My mothers Aurora, Sleeping-" Audrey continued, but Mal interrupted her.
"Beauty. Yeah, I heard the name."
"And I totally do not blame you for your grandparents inviting everyone in the whole world to their stupid christening." Mal sarcastically added.
"Water under the bridge?" Audrey asked.
Mal forces a smile. "Totes." They both shared an incredibly fake laugh that made Elisa cringe.
"Okay then, how about a tour yeah?" Ben quickly suggested before things got worse.
The five of them followed Ben and Audrey to the statue of King Adam that was in the middle of the area when suddenly a boy ran over to them, stopping when he was out of breath.
Ben looks over at him and chuckles. "Hey, Parker. What happened?"
Parker stands up and laughs a bit. "Well, I may or may not have got a bucket of flour and hooked it over the door so when Ryder walked into the room he would get covered in it." He explains, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. He glances behind him to make sure Ryder wasn't behind him. "But I forgot Ryder kinda has a bit of a temper when people pulled pranks on him." He looks back at the others with a nervous smile. "Now he's chasing me with a frying pan and I really don't wanna get hit with one of those. I heard they hurt."
"Why is he chasing you with a frying pan?" Mal asked, raising her eyebrows at him.
Parker looks over at her with surprise, not realizing that there were new people there until thee then. He then shrugs his shoulders. "He's the son of Rapunzel and Eugene." He replied bluntly.
"Oh, um, Parker, you remember my proclamation about bringing the VKs over and give them a chance at a normal life." Ben told him.
Parker smiles friendly at the group, his face lighting up when he saw Elisa. "Lisa! So glad you're back!"
A small smile tugs on Elisa's lips, happy that Parker remembered her. "Yeah, I'm back."
"Parker is the son of Peter Pan." Audrey spoke up with a smile on her lips.
"The one that can fly and has pixie dust?" Mal questioned.
Parker nods. "Only the fairies have pixie dust, but yes."
"Parker, come back here!"
The eight of them looks over to see a blonde haired boy running towards them, who was covered in flour.
"Wow, you really went all out. I like it." Mal commented with a smirk on her face and Parker smiled proudly.
The boy finally caught up to the group, glaring at Parker. He angrily points at Parker and then gestures to himself. "You did this!"
Shaking his head, Parker smiles innocently. "I did no such thing."
"Boys, we have guests." Audrey said in a sing-song voice trying to get them to calm down and act polite. "Behave."
The blonde haired boy looks over at the five realizing they were there and a embarrassed expression formed on his face. "Sorry." Ryder apologetically smiles at them. "Um, I'm Ryder, son of Rapunzel and Eugene. It's nice to meet you guys." He introduces himself and then glares at Parker. "And I really wish we would've met on better circumstances."
"Well," Audrey glares at him and Phoenix. "We were kind of in the middle of a tour here before you boys ruined it."
Ryder rolls his eyes. "Right, sorry, your highness." He sarcastically said, dramatically bowing. He smirked a bit when Audrey gasped and then sent him glare. He grabbed Parker's arm and started dragging him back to the dorms.
"Maybe we will see you guys later!" Parker waved at the five new students as he left with Ryder.
Once they were out of sight Ben turned to face the five of them with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry about that interruption. They usually aren't like that." Ben sheepishly smiles. "Sometimes they don't see eye to eye which is probably bad that they are roommates, but I'm sure you guys will grow to love them."
Elisa elbowed Mal at the last part, seeing the look she had on her face when Phoenix around. She had a feeling that Mal was starting to like Phoenix. Mal glared at her and stepped away. They continued on with the tour and soon went inside of the building that the dorms were in.
"Doug! Come over here!" Ben called over, noticing his friend was walking down the stairs.
Doug walks over to them and nervously looked at the VKs as Ben starts to talk. "This is Doug. He will be showing you your class schedules and show you the rest of the dorms. I'll see you later, okay? And if there is anything you need, feel free to-"
"Ask Doug." Audrey smiled before walking away and dragged Ben with her.
Doug smiles at the VKs. "Hi, guys. I'm Doug, Dopey's son. As in Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy and..." He started to list off the seven dwarfs, but he forgot the last one when he saw Evie.
Evie steps forward, smiling at Doug. "Evie. Evil Queen's Daughter."
Doug nods, his lips curling upwards a bit. "Okay. So about your classes I, uh, put in the requirements already. History of Woodsmen and Pirates, Safety Rules for the Internet," He glances over his shoulder realizing that Mal had walked over to them and was looking at the schedules he had. "And, uh, Remedial Goodness 101."
"That's a new one." Elisa mumbled.
Mal rolls her eyes. "Doesn't surprise me." She looks over at her friends. "Come on, guys, let's go find our dorms."
Elisa walks one way while her friends walks the other way. She was pretty sure she remembered where the dorms were at and she knew that they weren't going the right way so she didn't bother following them.
"Oh, uh, yeah, you're dorms are that way, guys." Doug spoke, pointing in the direction Elisa was at.
She stopped at the bottom of the stairs, looking over at her friends with a smirk, who were looking at with confusion. They looked at Elisa and then quickly walked down the stairs to go to the stairs she was on.
Doug then tries to list the seven dwarfs again. "Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy, and..."
"Sneezy." Carlos finished Doug's list as he walked past him.
