👑Chapter 5: We Might Have To Tell Her👑
Third Person P.O.V.
It was finally nighttime in Auradon, meaning that everybody had to go to sleep. Audrey had taken Ella home and said she would see her the next day.
Ella took a bath and changed into a beautiful purple nightgown that reached till her calves and the sleeves covered her hands to where only her fingers were visible.
"Ready for bed, Ella?" Belle asked her daughter as she saw her finishing brushing her hair.
"Yes, Mommy." she replied as she hopped into her bed. Belle placed the blanket over her and tucked her in.
"Goodnight, Ella." she said as she was about to leave, but the little girl grabbed her hand.
"Can you sing that lullaby for me?" she asked.
"Sure, sweetie." Belle said as she laid down beside Ella and held her tiny, yet warm hand.
A/N: Play the video and imagine Belle singing that to Ella
After Belle finished singing, Ella was fast asleep with her stuffed Dalmation. Belle slowly got up and kissed her 'daughter's' forehead before leaving the room.
When she closed the door, she began walking until she got to the living room. She saw her husband and Ben there.
"Mom, Dad. We have to tell Ella sooner or later." Ben said.
"We have to tell her that she is really Cruella's child."
Belle and Beast looked at their son before looking at each other. They had to admit, Ben had a pretty good point. If they were to keep it a secret until she was older, it would just hurt her deeply that the people she thought were her family wasn't her real family and that a villain was her real parent.
It would hurt Ella that they kept it a secret without telling her and who knows what would happen in the future. Ella might go mad.
Or even worse, she might run away to the Isle of The Lost and would eventually become a villain.
"You're right, Ben. We have to tell her. Or else, she will be hurt and pained when she's older and I don't want her to become a villain." Belle said.
"It's just a risk we're willing to take." Beast said. "Well, I just hope that she still remains with us when she finds out " Ben said.
"Then, it's settled. We will tell her. But, only when she's ready to be told." Belle said.
Ben finally went up to his room and climbed into his bed, falling asleep instantly.
*Dream*
Ben and his parents were currently with a now 15-year-old Ella. She was very slim and had her hair straightened so that it was as straight as a board, but she still wore the same outfit she wore as a child, but a teenage version.
"What's going on?" she asked her parents and brother.
They all had called her to the living room so they could tell her the truth. They were afraid to tell her, but they knew that they had to since they couldn't keep a secret forever. "
Ella, we have something to tell you." Belle said as she held her husband's hand.
"Okay?" Ella said, confused. "What is it?"
"We've been keeping a secret from you" Beast said.
"Just tell me already, please. I'm already getting more confused." the young girl said.
Beast took a deep breath.
"Ella, we love you and all, but we have got to tell you this for your own good." he said. Belle took a deep breath as well.
"Ella, we aren't your real parents." she said. Ella stood there, frozen with her eyes wide.
She couldn't believe it. She wasn't her parent's daughter? That couldn't be true.
"That's not true, Mom." she said. Belle had tears in her eyes.
"Sorry, baby. But, it is true. I'm not your real mother and he's not your real father, and Ben isn't your real brother." Belle said.
Ella looked at Ben.
"Is this a joke. Benny? Please tell me it is." she said as she crossed her arms. Ben looked down, wanting to cry.
"It's not a joke. This is real." he said.
Ella couldn't believe what she had just heard. All her life, she was raised by people who weren't her real family.
She felt shock, and worse, she felt betrayed.
Betrayed by the ones she thought her her mother, father, and brother. Ella's eyes began to water as she dropped the glass of soda she had, the glass shattering in the process.
"Who are my parents then, huh?" Ella asked. Belle and Beast and Ben all exchanged looks and looked at her. "
Tell me!" Ella said, her voice starting into break.
"Cruella De Vil. She's your real mother. And that white-haired boy named Carlos is your real brother." Belle explained.
Suddenly, Ella exploded like a ticking time bomb.
"Why?! Why today?! All my life I have been living a lie! You had a long time to tell me and you decide to tell me now?! Now that you tell me, I don't even think that I belong to anyone! Worst of all, I feel betrayed by the three people I depended on so much!" Ella shouted, tears streaming down her face.
"Sweetie, calm down. We still love you. No matter what, you will always be a member of our family." Ben said as he tried to touch Ella's cheek, but she backed away from him.
"You do not love me! If you all really loved me, then you would've told me earlier! I can't believe this! I hope you're happy I finally learnt the truth, because I'm done with this! I'm leaving!" Ella said as she ran out the doors, Ben trying to catch up to her.
Ella ran and ran until she got to the limo.
Quickly, she got in and told the driver to take her to the Isle of The Lost. He thought she was crazy, but decided to go with it.
By the time Ben tried to catch up to her, he was too late. The limo wasn't there anymore.
Ella went to the Isle of The Lost and searched by the lady known as Cruella De Vil.
Eventually, with the help of some people, she found her.
Time Skip...
Two days it had been. Ben was worried about his little sister and Belle and Beast were devastated that their daughter had run off.
They didn't know where she was. They assumed she was with Audrey and her parents, but surprisingly, she wasn't.
Ben and his parents were currently figuring out a way to find the lost girl.
Suddenly, the doors opened and slammed into the wall. They saw a figure there. "Who are you?" they asked.
"Well, well. The royal family. More like the Beast family." the figure said as it came out, revealing a tall, muscular boy with jet-black hair, pale blue, almost white eyes, and pale skin who was wearing blue and black. He was definitely an Isle of The Lost child.
"I'm the son of Hades."
They noticed that he was holding a hand, fingers intertwined.
"There is a special someone here to see you." he said with a smirk.
What they saw made them gasp and tears form in their eyes.
It was Ella.
Only this time, she looked different.
She was now wearing a red leather jacket, black jeans, white boots, and white shirt. She had on red lipstick and had black and white smokey eyeshadow. Her black and white hair had been straightened and grown till her waist. She had an evil smirk on her face.
"Ella?" Belle asked.
"Sweetheart?" Beast asked.
"Little sister?" Ben asked.
"Shut up, traitors! This is all your fault! If you hadn't betrayed me, I would still be here in Auradon! Guess I was wrong. I love the Isle of The Lost. My mother has been great and not to mention, I have a bad boy that helped me be who I truly am." she said in a heartless, emotionless voice.
Belle broke down and Ben felt angry at himself. Beast, however, felt guilty.
The girl that they had raised to be a good person, was now a bad person. A villain. A child who was turned into a villain by her biological mother.
*End of Dream*
Ben woke up with a gasp, sweat all over his face. He breathed heavily before catching his breath. This was a dream.
A dream that had been created by his fear of what would happen if they told Ella the truth and if she became a villain.
Ben stayed up for a while, thinking that hopefully, she won't become what she was in his dream.
