Jane put the books in her arms at her feet. She started to sign with her hands. 

“I know a little that my mom taught me,” she said with her hands, “And don’t worry you’ll get used to it.” 

That surprised Jonas, and he perked up, smiling slightly as he signed back, hands shaking slightly but they always did when he wasn’t sewing.

“It’s just weird. So many new things, hard to adjust, especially since half of the people assume I’m wanting to fight or something as soon as they look at me.” Once he started signing them, the words just started and it was hard to stop.

Mal smirked letting out a deep sigh as her shoulders relaxed. “Well, my mother is still a small lizard and I don’t think she’s learning anything about love or goodness anytime soon to go back to normal. So I understand.” Sometimes she wasn’t even sure that she wanted her mother to go back to normal. Maleficent had spent so much time torturing her and using her as a puppet. She was own person now and she liked it. She didn’t want it to go away. 

“But still, no more misuse of magic. I only got Fairy Godmother to lift the ban as long as magic is used responsibly. You wouldn’t want to ruin it for you and everyone else, would you?” 

“Think you can do that to my mother then?” Anna asked bitterly, rubbing at her thigh out of habit, it being where her mother had made her last attempt to corrupt her with the mirror shard, that failed as usual, but the wound was still sore, even now weeks later.

“I’ll behave....but no promises about actually tripping or punching them if they try anything.” She knew she talked big with other isle kids, but would very likely not do anything unless they were actively hurting another, it still felt nice to say though.

Uma smiled brightly. “Good. And I don’t like the way some of the AKs treat us either. It’s not fair when most of you haven’t done anything wrong to them. But they were brought up with horror stories about us and our parents just like we were brought up with horror stories about them and their parents. Things like that, taught from birth…it’s hard to relearn it.”  

Sometimes even she felt a twinge of jealousy and distaste when she saw Ariel or her daughter. Even when she saw Mal and they were much better friends now. 

“I just...if it wasn’t for them...well for their parents,” Ash spat the word out lie it was sludge, “then Anna wouldn’t be covered in scars from her own mother, Jonas wouldn’t have nearly died and lost his voice. I...I know it’s not their fault, but their parents aren’t being punished for what they did to us, to them!” 

Ash was angry again, but she was trying to calm down, but it was hard, thinking about what the crew had gone through, what all the kids on the Isle had, and the sheer luxury that even the lowest kid in Auradon had compared to them.

Even now, with their fortunes changed for the first time, and Jonas, and Anna, and all the others, had food and medicine and such now, it was still hard to know that so much would have been better if not for those stupid adults.

Harry scoffed slighty. “I barely like the tutoring. I think joining all the princes and princess would just make learning ten times worse.” 

Still, he knew he would have to eventually. Uma was slowly talking him into it and he would do anything to make sure her betterment of the Isle plan panned out. 

“At least it would mean you’d be done with school sooner. That’s gotta mean something, yes? And then you’ll be able to help the others.” Anna pointed out with an amused expression as she spoke.

“Sometimes it’s best just not to know anything.” Blood dripped from his palm, but he no longer felt the overwhelming urge to rip her throat open. He let out a deep sigh. He had to get this under control. He just didn’t know how. 

“...You’re hungry. I can’t sense much from you, but I can’t tell why it’s effecting you so strongly?” Anna asked, confused, and her instincts are still, for lack of a better word, screaming to stay alert and be wary. All he felt like, with the little skill she had at reading aura, was a deep hunger, which worried her.

Open starter | Jonas

It always had frustrated him, even back when he could still speak to get his point across and didn't need it, but it now gnawed at him like hunger no longer did. Reading and writing still baffled him, even as it slowly got easier to at least write. Words still spun and shifted around in his head whenever he read though. It was obvious, as he sat there in the school library, that he was growing frustrated, hand running through his short hair very frequently as he tried to read the book in front of him that he'd been assigned to for English.

[fallofashesandsnow]

"At times. It's always good to know things after all. Especially about those around you." Anna responded, eyes watching him and seeing the grip of his hands.

@waystobewixed​

Harry looked away from her trying to resist the urge he so desperately wanted to give into. 

“I just…I like the quiet…” Which wasn’t a complete lie. 

Anna finished cleaning the wound out and wrapped the scarf around her leg and then stood, swaying a little, but she was quick to straighten up and ready to move.

“It’s late enough that it’s pretty quiet anywhere around here. Why the woods? Not as safe as the could be, obviously.” She asked as she tugged her jacket tighter around her. The cold didn’t truly bother her but she still hated it.

Harry was feeding in the forests near Auradon Prep when he smelled it. The scent of human blood. He may have been a villain, but didn’t enjoy his lust for human blood. Still he moved towards the scent and stopped behind a tree seeing someone sitting on the ground clutching their bleeding leg. 

“It’s late…you shouldn’t be out here…" 

“Not intended to, got lost and then tripped.” Anna admitted as she was carefully pulling the debris off the gouge in her leg, scarf already ready to tie around the wound.

“Harry, right? What are you doing out here anyway?” Anna asked, not bothered by the pain anyway, used to worse.

this dumb website is in need of some love, so reblog this if you like the person you reblogged it from!!!

Jonas…she had heard her mother mention the name. She wondered why he couldn’t talk, but she wasn’t about to pry or be insensitive. 

“Oh, you’re from the Isle?” 

Jonas nodded, the movement shifting the scarf he wore, the edge of the scar on his throat was visible as he did so.

“I am. It is different here, not used to the brightness of things.” He wrote and shrugged as he showed her the note.

“Learning standard sign is interesting, learning so few actually know it is disappointing.”

“Okay. But you should tell me or Fairy Godmother. Not try to encase them in ice.” Even though, a long time ago, Mal would have probably tried to curse anyone who talked bad about Evie, Jay or Carlos. Hell, she almost did several times. 

“Do you know how hard it is to thaw out people?” she joked. 

Anna crossed her arms over her chest, the light blue hoodie zipped up fully and scrunching up from the movement, the hood at the back of her neck pushing up slightly as she hunched her shoulders a little.

“She just talks to them, or just gives them detention, they keep doing it. I wasn’t going to freeze them entirely, just their legs, to make them fall and get them thinking before they do anything again.” she grumbled softly, chuckling a little at the joke.

“Intimately. My mother may not have had access to her magic, but there is a reason she is still locked away and fully removed from her magic. I was her favourite thing to torment, even if all she could manage was to make the winter colder and took great, perverse joy in trying to freeze me.” Anna grumbled, glad her mother wasn’t able to torment anyone anymore.

“Yes, they’re not nice to us, but things don’t change over night, Ash.” Uma put the trinket in her pocket. She had to remind herself to give it back later. 

“The more used to us the get, the less the taunting will stop. And stealing their things won’t help. Got it?” 

“I just hate it. I can deal with the shit they say to and about me, but they make fun of Jonas and Anna and others and I hate it.” Ash grumbled and sighed, hands fiddling with the fidget cube she’d been given. It was odd to be just given things that helped, not having to figure them out on her own or fight for them to be had, and the little cube often found it’s way into her hands even when not stressed.

“I got it. No more stealing, promise captain.”

[fallofashesandsnow]

@waystobewixed​

“Something for Uma, I assume.” Harry didn’t bother to look inside. Whatever was transpiring, Uma would tell him if he needed to know. 

“Since when do you run errands, ice princess?” 

“Since Ash asked me, and it kept me from icing someone for being an asshole.” Anna responded primly, sniffing slightly and turning slightly away from him.

“I’m not an ass, I just don’t take any shit. How are your tutoring sessions going, any word on joining full classes?”

[fallofashesandsnow]

@waystobewixed​

Jane took her books back reading his note carefully before giving him a sweet, nervous smile. 

“Thanks.” She slowly stood to her feet. “Don’t worry about it. I definitely should have been looking where I was going. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you around before. I’m Jane." 

“I wasn’t paying attention, it was my fault, I’m sorry.” Jonas apologized, script evening out a little as he had the notepad in his hand this time.

“I’m Jonas. Only joined classes recently. Nice to meet you.” he was still a little thrown off by the random nice people, used to curtness at most, or teasing or worse from others not part of Uma’s crew.

@waystobewixed​

Mal jumped out of the way just as she was almost hit with a blast of ice that she knew hadn’t been meant for her. When she looked to find the source, she saw an AK running away from a girl who looked more than a little pissed off. 

“Hey,” Mal called out to her, “I know it’s hard, but keep the magic in class, okay?” Mal herself had started teaching a class for the VKs with magical powers. They were hard to control when you had never felt it before thanks to the anti-magic barrier. She figured it would help them adjust. 

“They-!” Anna cut herself off, trying to reign in her anger and took deep breaths, eyes closing as she calmed down.

“They keep making fun of and insulting Ash and I can’t stand it. They kept saying horrid things and I couldn’t let them get away with it.” 

She knew better, magic reactions from anger wasn’t a good thing, but sometimes it was hard with the treatment some ak’s still gave those from the isle, especially Ash, who was weird even on the isle, but they knew her there, here people just saw her as more of a freak and Anna hated it.

[fallofashesandsnow]

@waystobewixed​

Things were better for Uma now. The Isle was free. She was on Mal and Ben’s council as the Isle representative. The VKs were integrating quite well into Auradon Prep…those that weren’t too afraid to go of course. But sometimes, there were AKs who took visits to the Isle without much knowledge of the place. Air go why she just had to steal an item she had just seen stolen from a wandering AK. 

“We don’t steal anymore, remember?” Uma said with a smile, but her tone was threatening. 

Ash sniffed and huffed but shoved her hands into her pockets before sighing and grumbling.

“They’re assholes, they were making fun on Jonas a few days ago, I figured it would be a good way to get back at them, not like they couldn’t get it replaced when they got back anyway.” Ash grumbled but she was chastised and nodded.

“I’ll leave them be, promise.”
