Good to be Bad
Three days after meeting Zeus, have Elisia and Azira even so much as tried to be good?
No. The answer is no.
They kept on with their normal routine like nothing happened. And who can blame them? In the isle of the lost, there is no good. Just take it from Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay. Once they officially moved to the Auradon, people called them traitors and Uma took over Mal's turf, making it known that they were not welcome there again. They only welcomed Azira back because they all saw what happened during Cotillion and respected her for it. Azira has a reputation to uphold and she wasn't going to get rid of it just because of some ember.
And how was she going to prove that she can become good if she isn't in a place where she can show it to people who actually care? It makes no sense in her mind.
Anyway, Azira walked into the Castle of the Wicked and walked into her room once again. This time, she threw herself onto her bed, exhausted.
She was about to pass out right there if it wasn't for the knock on her door that came right after.
"Come in," she mumbled, her face buried into the pillow.
The door opened and there was Harison Westerguard. He had on a white vest with gold outlining and white pants. Harison smiled once he saw Azira's state.
"You look...rough," he said as he made it to her side. "Are you okay?"
Azira groaned. "No," she mumbled. "I'm tired. Was walking for about an hour today. How I hate not being able to teleport."
Harison chuckled. "I can tell you hate it," he said as he ran his finger through her hair. "I got word from Lewie that you and Elisia went to Olympus. How was it?"
Azira buried her head deeper into the pillow before she flopped her head to the side. "Make your guess," she said. "Elisia and I just went there to get lectured while Haidee got what she wanted like always. Zeus said that we have to earn our objects by changing our ways to good."
"And how-in the Isle of the Lost-can you do that?" Harison asked. "We're the children of Villains."
"I know, but he said 'iF sHe CaN bE gOoD tHeN yOu CaN tOo.'" Azira groaned. "Haidee is such a golden child."
Harison chuckled. "Well, we can't listen to everything our parents tell us, that's one thing Mal got right. The only thing."
Azira yawned. "I'm not trusting that purple snake again."
"Heh," Harison smiled. "I know."
They sat in silence for a moment until Harison heard snoring. He looked down at Azira to see that she was asleep. Harison chuckled before getting up and walking to the door.
"Evil dreams, darling."

1 month later:
From the north to the south
From the east to the west
Lost boys, lost girls
You all know you're the best
Azira groaned as she woke up to the excessive singing of Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos. Without even a word she knew what day it was.
VK day.
She and Elisia walked outside to see the core 4 singing and dancing with other VKs, all of them wanting to be picked to go to Auradon.
Harrison and Lewie came out soon after with confused looks on their faces.
"What is going on?" Harrison asked as he looked at the commotion.
Azira sighed. "VK day," she let out
"Oh," Harrison and Lewie said in unison as the girls made their way down to where the commotion was.
It's good to be bad, and we're proof of that
Used to be lost, now we're on the map
Used to steal stacks now we're giving back
Remember that
It's good to be bad
If you got pride, raise your Vs up high
Wave 'em wide
Side to side, feel the vibe
It's good to be bad
Azira and Elisia made it to Ursula's Chip Shop where they met up with Harry and Gil once again.
"Any sign of Uma on your end, Harry?" Azira asked as she and Elisia took a seat near the kitchen.
Harry shook his head. "Nothin' 'ere to report, Zia," Harry responded. "Anythin' on yer end?"
Azira shook her head. "Searched everywhere on the Isle and still nothing came up."
Harry sighed as Gil came from out of the kitchen. "Hey girls, what's up?"
Elisia shrugged. "Nothing much, Gil. though we saw Mal and the others while coming here."
"Mal?" Harry asked before he shook his head. "VK day ain't it?"
Azira nodded as Harry sat down beside her.
"Like I said, they aren't going to keep this up," Azira reminded them. "They'll bring about three to four kids to Snore-a-don, and just shut the whole thing down afterwards. You'll see."
Gil then looked at the three. "You know? I just thought of something," he said.
"What is it Gil?" Harry asked.
"Didn't Ben already want to bring new kids from the Isle to Auradon? Why did he set up a new day for them? What's different?"
The other three looked at each other before Azira shrugged.
"Who knows what those Auradon kids are up to."

After about ten minutes in Ursula's Chip Shop, she decided to make her way to Lady Tremaine's Parlor where she saw Dizzy pack her things.
"What are you doing?" Azira asked, making the young Tremaine girl turn to her, startled.
Dizzy then smiled widely. "Ooh they picked me! Evie picked me to go to Auradon!" she squealed. "We're leaving next week!"
"We?" Azira questioned.
"Me, Celia, and the Smee twins!"
"Ah," Azira winced as she looked around. She then walked to the tables where most of her supplies were. "Well that's...something."
"I know right!" Dizzy said, excitedly.
"Right," Azira repeated, though she wasn't as excited as her little friend.
She then heard a bell ring before she stood face to face with two of the four people she was not happy with seeing.
Azira looked at the two of them with a confused glance before she smirked.
"Carlos, Evie," she chuckled. "What a...joyous reunion it is."
Carlos scoffed. "Oh look, there's the liar," he said before stepping closer to her. "We're not here for you, so don't be so prideful."
Azira scoffed, putting a hand on her chest as she pretended to look offended. "The nerve," she said with a fake shocked expression. "I was just trying to be nice, but I guess some of us are just unlucky in that department, aren't we?"
Carlos growled at her as Evie pulled him away from Azira. "Carlos, please, this isn't the time," she whispered before looking at Azira. "It is nice to see you again, Azira, truthfully."
Azira raised her eyebrow as her expression softened, though partially. Evie had that effect on people, though some don't appreciate it. Unfortunately, Azira's been around Evie long enough for it to be like a curse that was put on her by the blue-haired girl and no matter how hard she tried, she could never get her to remove it.
Evie and Carlos walked to Dizzy and began talking to her about Auradon. Azira scoffed before walking out of the Parlor.
She was going to the Castle of the Wicked to get some much deserved sleep. As she was turning the corner, a chill went down her spine as the area suddenly got cooler.
For a place with no magic, there is no way this should be happening, and she had an idea for who it was.
She continued down the corner and stopped once she felt the area get unbearably cold. She glazed down the alley beside her.
She knew better not to go down a dark alleyway alone, every VK knew that, but she had to figure out where that chill was coming from and why he was doing it.
So she did, she walked down the alleyway and just continued on until the cold was just weakening her. Without her powers she had no way of warming herself or stopping the cold, so she was just defenseless.
After a moment, she finally decided to give up and turn back around, but she was surprised when a huge wall of ice shielded her from leaving. And to make matters worse, everyone left to save themselves, so she had no one.
So she was just there, left to wonder if this dumb decision will lead her to die of hypothermia. As the seconds passed, she kept getting weaker and her vision started to get blurry.
After about ten minutes, everything went black as she finally passed out.
.
.

It was like the whole world was spinning once Azira woke up, though she didn't know how she woke up.
Well, she didn't until she saw a fire pit in front of her. She also saw the two people she didn't want to see arguing in front of her a well. Jay and Eliott.
Yes, Eliott for some reason went along with them.
"What were you thinking taking that with you?" Jay yelled as Eliott backed further away from him, but the son of Jafar kept inching closer.
"It's not my fault," he said in defense of himself. "Well, it is partially my fault since I did bring it with me, but one of those thieves knocked it out of my hand and it malfunctioned."
Azira also noticed Mal, Evie, and Carlos there as well, watching them fight.
Mal sighed. "Lesson learned," she said to herself. "Never ask Haidee to make anything specifically for you ever again."
Eliott sighed before looking over to Azira, who was drifting in and out of consciousness.
"Oh! She's awake," he said smiling, this caused Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay, to look over to the daughter of Ares as well.
Azira was trying to get up, but was too weak so Jay and Evie had to help her up. Azira was very much lightheaded so she rested her head on Jay's shoulder, which he allowed.
"I knew it wasn't a good idea to leave after Eliott lost it," Evie said, shaking her head.
Eliott groaned. "I didn't lose it on purpose!"
"You didn't go back to find it either, now did you?" Jay countered, making the Son of Elsa silent.
"Guys, stop, please," Evie said. She then put a hand on Azira's arm, which was still freezing cold. "She's still cold, we're lucky we found her in time."
Azira shuddered as she was beginning to feel warmer, but it wasn't enough.
"Why did we even agree to help her?" Mal asked, earning a look from Evie. "just saying."
"Mal, quiet," Evie scolded. "She may have lied but who on the Isle hasn't? And she's still our friend, we have to help her."
Jay nodded. "Evie's right."
Azira was finally warm enough to speak clearly. "What...what happened?"
Jay sighed. "Haidee made Mr Snow and Ice here some Isle-proof gloves that he brought to the Isle to see if they would work here."
"He bumped into a thief and he dropped the gloves, causing it to malfunction and start snowing everywhere the glove could reach," Evie added
Eliott rubbed the back of his neck. "I ran to tell Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay what happened but it took me a bit too long to find the glove and when we did find it...we also found you."
Azira sighed. "H-how come you guys haven't gone back to Auradon yet?"
Mal shrugged. "We wanted to talk to the parents of the VKs we chose to let them know their kids have been chosen to go to Auradon."
"That's why Carlos and Evie were at Tremaine's Parlor," Azira muttered in realization.
Carlos said nothing but nodded.
The daughter of Ares soon sat up by herself, still holding onto Jay's shoulder.
Evie looked at Azira. "You can come with us if you want, Zira," she insisted. "We can-"
"I'm not going back, Evie," Azira said plainly. "I mean, after I had full control of what Uma did during the Cotillion, do you really think they'll let me back that quickly?"
The others looked at each other as she continued.
"Sure it was just a one time offense but you know they will never trust me again after that, and honestly, I am perfectly fine with that."
Azira sighed as she faced the fire in front of her.
"Azzy..." Azira refused to look at the blue-haired girl as she spoke. "You don't have to lead a life of bad. You can still have a chance to be good. Please."
Azira sighed. "I'm sorry, Evie," she whispered. "But this is my life now. These are my people and I can't give that up."
Carlos sighed before getting up and walking out of the room. Mal soon followed after. Only Jay, Eliott, Azira, and Evie remained.
Eliott walked towards Azira, her eyes landed on him as they stared at each other.
Eliott sighed. "I know you don't want to hear this from me, but give it a chance? Please."
Azira blinked for a moment before she sighed. "You know my answer, and I know that you, of all people on Auradon, don't want me there."
Eliott opened his mouth to say something else but Jay stopped him as the two walked out of the room, leaving only Azira and Evie.
Evie then looked at Azira who was staring intently at the flames in front of her. She put a hand on her shoulder.
"Just..." the blue haired girl sighed. "Just think about it okay? And plus, Arin has been asking about you. He asked us to come and check on you once we made it to the Isle."
Azira sighed but said nothing. Evie just smiled before hugging her friend, who didn't return the gesture. Azira then watched as Evie walked out of the room to the other VKs and Eliott.
Azira took a deep breath and let it out just as quickly.
"I really hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the ass later on."
