Christine and Eleanor of Arendelle
Hello, it seems you don't know me very well. I'm Princess Eleanor, the 16 year old daughter of Hans and Elsa, the King and Queen of Arendelle. Of course, you all know that my maternal grandparents were killed in a storm at sea, and that my father tried to kill my mother and aunt after my mother lost control of her ice powers, which I inherited from her, and plunged Arendelle into an eternal winter. But several years later, my father regretted his mistake and proved to my mother that he reformed. So dad married mom and a year after, mom gave birth to me and my older twin brother Harold. However, two days later, guards from Auradon came to take my father and brother to the Isle of the Lost because Adam and Belle, the King and Queen of Auradon, didn't believe that my father had truly reformed. My mother cried every day for months. My Uncle Kristoff, Aunt Anna and Cousin Christine were happy and sad at the same time about the decision. To this day, I still miss my father and brother. Oh, you want to know about the Isle of the Lost? According to mom and Aunt Anna, it's tough living there. There's a magic barrier that keeps all the bad guys there, including my father and brother. There's no magic, no Wi-Fi, and no way out.
Anyway, Adam and Belle had only one child, a son named Ben. Ben and I have been the best of friends since we were a year old. One day, news from my mother AND a proclamation from Ben, who will soon be crowned king, would both change my life forever. How? You'll have to wait and see.
Eleanor's POV
I woke up one morning to my aunt shaking me awake. "Ellie, your mother has bad news."
I climbed out of bed, still in my nightgown, and ran to the throne room. "Mom, what's the matter?"
Elsa, my mother, stood up, knelt down to my level and cupped my cheek with her hand. "Eleanor, the Weselton Army destroyed Arendelle Academy."
"What?" I whispered. Arendelle Academy was my high school. I made a bunch of friends there. Hearing that it was destroyed brought tears of sadness to my eyes.
Arendelle and Weselton were previously trading partners. Weselton's Duke came to my mother's coronation and called her a sorceress. After Arendelle had been rid of the eternal winter, mom cut off trade with Weselton. It seemed the Duke of Weselton wanted revenge.
"Eleanor," Mom said. "If they attack us again, there will be war."
"Good idea." I agreed.
Just then, Aunt Anna came in with Christine. "Elsa, Belle's on the phone. She wants to talk to you."
Mom left the throne room to talk on the phone with Queen Belle while Aunt Anna remained with me and Christine. "Cousin, did you hear what mom said? Weselton destroyed Arendelle Academy!"
Christine and I hugged and cried for five minutes before we pulled away. "What are we going to do, Cousin Eleanor?" Christine asked.
Mom came back. "Girls, I have good news."
"Yes, mom/Aunt Elsa?" Christine and I asked at the same time.
"Queen Belle invited you two to go to Auradon Prep." Mom replied.
"A new school, huh?" Christine asked.
"Yeah." Mom replied. "And get this! It's better that Arendelle Academy. You girls get to stay in dorms!"
Christine and I whooped and high-fived.
"The limo will be here in an hour." Anna said. "Christine, go get dressed and pack your stuff."
"Ok, mom." Christine said before running off.
"You too, Eleanor." Mom said. "Oh, but before you do, I have something to give you. Mom reached under her throne and pulled out a pink box. "Your father wanted me to give it to you on your sixteenth birthday, but I forgot about it."
She handed me the box and in it was a shorter version of the blue snow queen dress mom would always wear, and a golden necklace with a snowflake charm.
"Mom, they're beautiful! Thank you!" I hugged my mother before she sent me off to change into the dress and necklace.
I came back down in the dress, necklace and a pair of white high heels with a jeweled butterfly on each of the soles.
"Eleanor, you look so beautiful. Your father would've loved to see you in it." Mom cried tears of joy.
Aunt Anna came back in with a now-dressed Christine. "Eleanor, I have a secret to tell you. The charm on your necklace glows when it senses love. If there are multiple people, the person the strongest glow points to is bound to be your true love."
"Thanks, Aunt Anna." I said. Just then, Gerda, one of the castle servants, came in. "Queen Elsa, Princess Anna, the limo's here."
Mom, Aunt Anna, Christine and I went outside, the citizens of Arendelle wishing us good luck.
Christine and I got in and the limo drove off. It wasn't a long ride to Auradon, because we've been there before.
Ben greeted us and took us to our dorms. I met my roommate, Celine Charming, daughter of Prince Kit Charming and Cinderella.
"Celine, do you have a twin brother like I do?" I asked.
"Yeah, his name's Chad. He can be a bully at times." Celine replied.
Christine's roommate was Lonnie, the daughter of Mulan and Shang.
I went to sleep that night, unaware that tomorrow, my life would change forever.
Christine's POV
The next morning, Eleanor walked out onto the castle's balcony and sang. "I wonder... I wonder... I wonder why each little bird has a someone to sing to... Sweet things to... A gay little love melody."
A butterfly landed on Eleanor's finger before flying away.
"I wonder... I wonder if my heart keeps singing, will my song go winging to someone....who'll find me... and bring back my love song to...me..."
Eleanor looked out at the Isle of the Lost longingly.
I stepped out next to her. "Hey, Eleanor. What's going on?" I noticed my cousin was in some kind of trance.
"It feels like... the Isle of the Lost is beckoning me; calling my name." My cousin replied.
"Maybe someone there heard your voice and wants to find you." I told her.
I suddenly heard Ben's parents speaking.
"How is it possible that you're going to be crowned king next month? You're just a baby." King Adam said.
"He's turning 16, dear." Queen Belle reminded her husband.
Eleanor and I walked back in from the balcony.
"Oh, Eleanor, Christine, just in time!" Ben greeted us. He then looked at his father. "Hey, paps."
"16?" King Adam repeated. "That's far too young to be crowned king. I didn't make a good decision till I was at least 42."
"You decided to marry me at 28." Queen Belle retorted.
"It was either you or a teapot." King Adam joked. Queen Belle gave her husband a bored expression. "I'm joking." He explained.
"Mom, dad, I've chosen my first official proclamation." Ben said. He gave my cousin a smile that said 'You're going to like it'.
King Adam and Queen Belle looked at Ben.
"I've decided that the children on the Isle of the Lost be given a chance... To live here in Auradon." Ben told his parents.
Ben's parents were shocked. Queen Belle dropped her jacket.
"Every time I look out to the island I feel like they've been abandoned." Ben explained.
"The children of our sworn enemies living among us?" King Adam questioned.
"We'll start out with a few at first; only the ones who need our help the most." Ben continued. "I've already chosen them."
"Have you?" King Adam asked.
"I gave you a second chance." Queen Belle told her husband. She turned to look at her son. "Who are their parents?"
"Cruella De Vil, Jafar, the Evil Queen... and Maleficent." Ben replied. "I've also chosen the son of Hans and Elsa to come here."
The tailor yelped at the mention of Maleficent's name. He got up and left.
"MALEFICENT?!" King Adam yelled. "She's the worst villain in the land! And Hans is just as bad! He tried to kill Eleanor's mother and aunt!"
"Dad," Ben started. "Just hear me out here-"
"I won't hear of it." King Adam said firmly. "They are guilty of unspeakable crimes!"
"Your Majesty, please! The son of Uncle Hans and Aunt Elsa is my cousin's TWIN BROTHER!" I pleaded, kneeling in front of King Adam.
"Christine's right." Ben said. "Their children are innocent. Don't you think they deserve a shot at a normal life? Dad..."
"I suppose the children are innocent." King Adam agreed. I got up and embraced my cousin.
"Well done, Ben." Queen Belle said. She then looked at me. "Christine, you're so brave."
"Thanks, Queen Belle." I replied.
Ben, Eleanor and I looked out at the Isle of the Lost. Soon, my cousin's life would change forever... And maybe mine would too.
