Author's Note: TW Child Abuse

On The Screen
  A fourteen year old Evie is sitting on a chair looking at a mirror with a makeup brush in hand. There were tears on her face as she tried to wipe them away. Not wanting to mess up her makeup more. She had just gotten hit with a hair brush for messing up her makeup while she was out causing trouble with her gang. Her mom had just finished punishing her and expected her to have her makeup done right as soon as she got back from terrorizing the people of the isle and trying to show up Maleficent.

Her mom was still bitter about Maleficent being considered the "queen" of the isle and was always trying to prove that she was better than her and deserved the title "Queen Of The Isle." Evie didn't really see the point her mom may be horrible and cruel, but she was nowhere near as evil as the "Mistress Of Evil" herself.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the scream "Evie" from her mom. Evie began to panic as she had been deep in thought and wasn't concentrating on her makeup. She began to quickly fix her makeup knowing that if her mom saw she hadn't been working on her makeup she was sure to get hit again. The young girl froze when she felt a hand grip her arm with the makeup brush in it.

  "EVIE I TOLD YOU TO FIX YOUR MAKEUP! YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO GET A PRINCE IF YOU DON'T START LISTENING TO ME!" her mother screamed at her as she twisted Evie's arm with a strong grip. Evie began to cry from the pain. "WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT CRYING! PRINCESSES DON'T CRY! A PRINCE IS NEVER GOING TO WANT A WORTHLESS CRYBABY WHO CRIES OVER EVERYTHING!" the Evil Queen screamed at her daughter furiously as she grabbed the hair brush from earlier and began to beat her with it.

She then stopped and put a hand on her stomach "I hope this new baby is better than you and will actually listen to me," she told the young girl. As Evie just continued to sob from the pain of both the physical and mental abuse. Her mom had hooked up with her father again, so that she could bring in a replacement for Evie as she felt that Evie would never be good enough for a prince. Her mom constantly reminded her of this ever since she found out that she was going to be having a better "heir" as she liked to call it.

                                                         Screen Pauses

Everyone in the room including Evie all stared at the paused screen in shock. Forgetting about the harsh things they saw as they could only focus on the fact that the Evil Queen supposedly had a second kid that no one knew about.

"Why are you shocked Evie you should have known that already," Audrey asked Evie confused as to why she didn't seem to remember her mom even being pregnant. "I don't remember that at all. The only thing I remember from that day was getting beat for messing up my makeup," Evie told the others sadly but still in shock.

"Huh that's weird I don't remember your mom ever being pregnant either," Jay told Evie confused. "yeah me neither," Carlos said. Mal couldn't help but stare at the paused screen deep in thought while the others discussed the Evil Queen's "secret baby."

She couldn't help, but feel that she had a connection to whatever this secret was, but that made no sense as she didn't meet Evie or the others for at least another year. Yet something about it made her feel that she was connected to it. Her deep thoughts were interrupted by Lonnie.

  "I wonder if something happened to it," Lonnie said trying to come up with a reason as to why none of the Vks seemed to remember Evie's mom being pregnant.

"I hope not," Evie said not wanting for her baby sister or brother to have been harmed. She really hoped that Lonnie was wrong and that the baby was just fine.

"Maybe we should just hit play and see what happens next. It might tell us what happened to the baby and why none of you guys remember The Evil Queen even being pregnant," Jane said nervously as she was curious about what happened, but was afraid of how the others would react to her suggestion.

"I think you're right Jane let's just hit play. I'm sure all of our questions will be answered in the video," Ben said also curious about what happened.

Everyone watched in anticipation as the screen went from paused to moving again. Everyone was curious and anxiously awaiting for what happened next especially with the baby.
