Chapter Text

Life on the isle wasn't easy for any kid. However, Y/N Sparrow, daughter of Captain Jack Sparrow, recognized that her father wasn't like most parents. Even though he let her go play with the Hook kids or any other VK, he still taught her the importance of the pirate life. A life that could save you in more ways than one.

One night you were with Mr. Gibbs. The both of you had just left the Jolly Roger after doing some trading with Captain Hook. While you were there, you noticed that Harry was nowhere to be found. You just shrugged to yourself as you followed Mr. Gibbs back to the Black Pearl.

It wasn't until you were halfway back that you heard faint crying and gasping coming from an alleyway. Both you and Mr. Gibbs looked at each other before walking towards the noise. You suddenly gasped at the sight of Harry sitting on the ground with a knife in his hand. Easily you could see his tears on his face as well as the blood coming from his wrist.

"Poseidon's beard", Mr. Gibbs murmured as he rushed to Harry's side. But Harry started to panic when Mr. Gibbs tried to apply pressure to the self inflicted wound."Nae. Nae! I have'ta be rid of it. If I want me hook, I have'ta be rid of me hand!", Harry started to cry. "Hush now, boy!", Mr. Gibbs said as he continued to help Harry.

"Harry, look at me", you said as you sat on the other side of Harry. "Y/N", he sighed as he looked at you. "Why would you do something so horrific to yourself?", you quietly asked. "To-to get me father's approval", he confessed. Mr. Gibbs shook his head at Harry's answer. "Harry, you know that you don't need his approval. The only approval you need is the approval of your soulmate", you softly said to him. "Aye, you're right. I've been so blinded by wanting to be accepted by me father that I forgot about that one promised to me", Harry said as he looked down at the ground.

"There ya go. Just keep that on for a couple of days", Mr. Gibbs said as he finished wrapping up Harry's wrist. "Thank ye, Mr. Gibbs", Harry murmured as he looked at the bandage. Mr. Gibbs nodded as he stood up and then helped Harry Stand up as well. "Thank ye as well, Y/N", Harry said as you stood up next. "Of course. What are friends for?", you said as you gave him a simple smile. Harry then nodded and started to walk towards the newly acquired ship that was owned by Uma.

"That boy was definitely given a bad hand. No father should ever do what his father does. That's another thing that I respect about your father, Y/N. He gives out fair judgment", Mr. Gibbs said as he watched Harry walk away. "Aye, Mr. Gibbs. Aye", you said in agreement.

///////////

A couple of week later, you awoke and got ready to do your normal chores. However, you were taken aback at the sight of the mark of your soulmate. You gingerly traced the hook that was on the inside of your left wrist. Automatically you knew that it had to be Harry who was your soulmate. How did you know? Well, Harriet already found hers and CJ was still too young.

With a small smile on your face, you left your room to go do your chores before going to talk to Harry. Your dad and Mr. Gibbs both raised an eyebrow at you as you happily and quickly did you chores. They eventually looked at each other and shrugged before doing their own work.

A couple of hours later, you were basically skipping off the Black Pearl. Your father gave you a cautious look as you went towards Uma's ship. As you took the alleyway that was closest to her ship, you could hear Harry and others talking. Immediately your smile got bigger at the sound of Harry's voice.

"Betcha can't wait to find out who your soulmate is Harry", Gil innocently said as he coiled up some rope. "Me? Nae. Just like Uma, I din nae need a soulmate. I'm good on me own", Harry said as he straightened his tri-horn hat. Harry's words made you stop at the end of the alleyway. "Not me, Harry", Gil said with a smile as he looked at his mark. "I can't wait to meet my bluebird", he continued to say. "Soulmates are overrated. When I meet mine, I will easily reject em", Harry then said.

Hearing what Harry just said, you felt like your heart had been ripped into two. You quickly looked over to his bandaged wrist to see part of a sparrow peeking out. He knew that you were soulmates, but he didn't want you. After releasing a deep sigh, you turned around and headed back to the Black Pearl.

"Hey, isn't that Y/N?", Gil suddenly asked as he saw you walk away. With a panicked look, Harry turned to see your retreating form. He gulped down air, fearing what you had possibly heard. "I din nae know. Why would she come to Uma's ship anyway?", Harry quickly replied. Gil just shrugged and went back to work. Meanwhile, Harry quickly tried to find something to do.

////////////

About a month had passed sine you found out that Harry was your soulmate. During that time, you proceeded as usual. Doing your chores and learn whatever your dad had to teach you. Sure, normally you would go hang out with the other villain kids, but you stopped. You were too scared that Harry would reject you in front of everyone.

One night, you dreamed that you were walking through a large field full of flowers. You looked around, completely confused as to why you were there and not on the isle. Suddenly, you heard your name being called. You spun around to see a woman about five foot nine with long blonde hair waving at you. As you got closer, you could tell that she was dressed in Greek clothing with a pink flowery headdress.

"Y/N! It is so good to finally meet you!", the woman exclaimed as she immediately wrapped you up in a tight hug. "Um, thank you?", you awkwardly said as you patted the woman's back. "Oh! Where are my manners!", the woman said as she pulled back. "I am Persephone, the Goddess of Spring", she finally said. Your eyes widened at the fact that you were standing before a goddess. "Now come. We have some things to discuss", Persephone said as she pulled you towards a bench under a tree.

"So, I have a bit of a project that I need your help with", Persephone started to say. This made you furrow your brow. "In three years, there's going to be a program to let seven villain kids transfer to Auradon Prep", she continued to say. Immediately your eyebrows shot up. "Now I will be doing things on my end. I will make sure that every villain kid has a sponsor to help them. However, you will be their representative at board meetings. Also, you will be righting wrongs against those who should not be on the isle", Persephone then said with a determined look.

Immediately you knew who she was talking about. Her son, Hade, had been taken from her when he was just a baby. Hell, technically none of the villain kids deserved to be on the isle. Especially your dad, in your opinion. He was trying to right the wrongs of others. But those others were people in powerful seats. However, with Persephone's help, you could help your dad.

"How am I supposed to do this?", you finally asked. Persephone gave you a smile before reaching behind her. She then turned back to you and presented four large books. "These are the laws of Auradon. This will help you right the wrongs", she answered. "Ok", you sighed as you looked at the books. "Don't worry, Y/N. You will not be alone in this. I promise", Persephone said before she disappeared before you.

Completely overwhelmed with what had just happened, you closed your eyes and let out a deep sigh. However, when you opened them, you were staring at the ceiling in your room. Completely in shock, you sat up. "What? How?", you asked yourself. But as you were about to convince yourself that it was just a dream, you saw the books on your desk.

"Ok... Ok... Ok...", you quietly said. Knowing what you had to do for the next three years, you nodded to yourself before going back to sleep.

Chapter Text

The every morning, you told your father everything. That included what happened with Harry. He was quiet as he paced back and forth in his quarters. All you did was watch him until he stopped right in front of you and placed his hands on your shoulders.

"Here is what I think, my treasure. First of all, forget about all the Harry stuff for now. That boy will eventually get his head out of his ass. Second, clearly the goddess Persephone knows what needs to be done. Also, she knows that you will be the most level headed of all the VK's. So, for the next couple of years, we need to get you ready for your part", Captain Jack Sparrow said with a determined look. You simply nodded in agreement. "This means that training will be more intense. You will have little to no time with the other VK's. Do you understand?", Jack continued to say. "Yes, father. I understand. I need to do this. I need to right the wrongs against so many of us", you replied with your head held high.

So, for the next three years, your dad personally taught you everything. Everything from running a ship, swordsmanship, general education and the law books that were gifted to you. Sure, your friendship started to wain. But with the goal before you, you would deal with growing those friendships back later.

////////////

"Y/N... Y/N... It's time to wake up, my treasure", your dad's voice said before you actually blinked open your eyes. "Dad?", you inquired. "Today is the day", he replied with a sad smile as he moved his fingers through your hair. That really woke you up. Today was the day that you would leave the isle and start working with Persephone. "Is it bad that I'm scared?", you quietly asked as you sat up in bed. Jack's smile widened, "No. It just means that you are aware of the situation and the possibilities attached to it. But knowing you, you will prevail. I have faith that you will."

Once your dad left, you got up from your well worn bed to get dressed. Luckily the night before you had packed everything up. After washing your face and brushing your hair, you put in a few small braids throughout your hair while the rest was let down. You then put on a pair of barely ripped black jeans before putting on a navy blue colored skirt that had dark red patches on the left side. Next was a beige shirt that once was white. On top of that was a navy blue vest that you personally sowed dark red embroidery on.

"Five minutes", your dad said through the door as he knocked on it. "Got it", you replied.

Quickly you grabbed your dark red bandana and wrapped it around your head. But then your pulled two small braids through one of the holes so that they hung by your face. You twirled around and picked up your black jacket that had a red sparrow and crossbones with the skull looking at the bird. Finally, you put on your black boots and black tricorn hat that had brass buckles and a couple red feathers in it.

"Now that is a pirate", your dad said from your door. You spun around to face him. "However, you are missing a couple of things", Jack continued to say. "What things?", you asked with a frown. Jack then pulled out his old compass. "This will show you the things that you want most in the world. It has led me to many treasures. That includes friends and your mother", he answered as he placed it in your hand. You looked at it with wide eyes before placing it inside of your jacket.

"Now this... This you are to give to your mother when you see her", Jack then said as he pulled out a small box. You gently took it and opened it to see a beautifully kept necklace with a white opal seashell pendant with a small sparrow on it. "I was going to give that to her on the day that we were brought here. She would be so proud of you", he murmured as you gently closed the box. "I only hope that I make you just as proud", you whispered as you put the necklace away. Jack then gently took a hold of your face in his hands to make you look at him. "You do, treasure. Every single day, you make me so proud to be your father", Jack said softly.

///////////

With everything ready to go, you followed your father off of the Black Pearl. Of course you hugged everybody first before leaving. But you noticed that Mr. Gibbs followed both you and your dad. The three of you were about to go down the alleyway that went to the isle center when Barbossa suddenly stopped you.

"Ah! Hector! Come to give your wishes to Y/N?", Jack said as he crossed his arms across his chest. "In a way", Barbossa softly said before turning to you. "I have a simple request of ye, Y/N", he continued to say. You waited patiently as he pulled out a small box and handed it you. "Please give this to my daughter. Her name is Corina Smith", Barbossa then said. "Of course", you said as you took the box and put it away. Barbossa then nodded to the three of you before going back to his ship where his son, Davy, was waiting for him.

With that interaction over with, you all continued on your way. When you got about halfway to the isle center, you saw both Harry and Gil dancing. You quickly ran up and joined them. Meanwhile the core four were also dancing and singing on their way to the isle center.

"Call me a schemer, call me a freak. How can you say that? I'm just unique", you sang as you danced in sync with Harry and Gil. "What, me a traitor? Ain't got your back? Are we not friends? What's up with that?", Gil sang. "So I'm a misfit. So I'm a flirt. I broke your heart, I made you hurt", Harry then sang. The three of you continued to sing and dance until you joined up with the core four.

"I'm rotten to the (core), I'm rotten to the, I'm rotten to the core", you all sang in unison. Once the dancing and singing stopped, the core four turned to face you, Harry and Gil.

"What the hell are you doing here?", Mal demanded as she crossed her arms. "Yeah, shouldn't you be gutting fish somewhere under the docks?", Jay said with a smirk. You merely raised an eyebrow at both of them as Harry cracked his knuckles and Gil looked around the center. "Now, now, now. Is that anyway to welcome your fellow VK's?", Maleficent asked from behind her daughter. "Besides, they're going with you", she continued to say. "Excuse me? Going where?", Mal asked as she turned to face her mother. "To Auradon Prep, of course!", Maleficent said with a big smile. "No!" "Nope!", Jay and Carlos said as they tried to run away, but were caught by their parents. "You don't have a say! You're going! We've already pack your belongings", Maleficent said as she stared down at the core four. This caused them to groan as you continued to look indifferent and Harry smirking at their suffering.

"Oh, look! Your ride is here!", Maleficent cheered as a limo pulled up in front of you. All the parents put the kids bags into the trunk before saying any last words. Slowly the VK's entered the limo. You gave your dad one last look before following Gil into the limo. "You better bring me that wand or don't bother coming back at all!", Maleficent hissed to Mal before Mal could enter the limo.

Once all seven VK's got situated, they all let out big sighs.

Chapter Text

So... There you were sitting in between Gil and Harry. Jay and Carlos were on the other side of Gil as Evie and Mal sat beside Harry. Everything was going fine for the first few minutes until Carlos spoke up.

"Um, guys? Are we going to drive off of the bridge?", he asked. The other six VK's turned and looked out the window. Immediately you all started to freak out as there was no road ahead of the limo. Jay and Carlos bear hugged each other as Evie and Mal embraced themselves. You? Well, you became the center of a Harry and Gil sandwich.Harry had his arms wrapped around you as you did with him. But Gil had reached around you both. Before you it, Harry was actually kissing you. Completely caught off guard, you just looked at him with wide eyes. Luckily, no one else had their eyes opened. Harry quickly pulled back and just looked at you. Personally, you were too stunned to say anything.

"Hey, we didn't die", Jay murmured as he opened his eyes. Everyone else opened their eyes to see a road that wasn't there before. "Huh", Carlos said. "Get off of me!", Jay then grunted as he pushed Carlos off of him. Evie and Mal hesitantly let go of each other. Meanwhile, you quickly removed your arms from around Harry while Gil let go of both of you.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, the wall opposite of you opened up to reveal a variety of what had to be snacks. Everyone was too scared to move. But very slowly, you scooted closer to the food in front of you. Tentatively, you picked up what looked like a chocolate disk and bit into. Your eyes immediately widened at the taste of not only chocolate but peanut butter.

"What is it?", Gil innocently asked as he looked intently at the disk in your hand. You turned towards Gil and shoved the rest into his mouth. In an instant, his eyes bulged before looking back and forth at you and the chocolate. While, this is happening, Mal reached over and grabbed one as well and split it with Evie. Both girls had the same reaction as Gil. The other three VK's waited  to see what would happen.

They quickly had to react as the four of you reached out and started to grab whatever was in front of you. The core four just started to shove things into their mouths as you, Harry and Gil put your new treasures in your backpacks for later.

About forty five minutes later, you noticed a very large building in the distance. The core four were busy doing their own thing, Jay and Carlos were fighting while Evie and Mal fussed over appearances. So, you hit both Harry and Gil on the leg to get their attention. They both looked where you were looking and leaned to look out the window to see more of Auradon Prep.

Once the limo pulled up to the entrance of Auradon Prep, you saw a very large group waiting for you and the others. The driver got out and went to open the back door. Jay and Carlos immediately fell on the ground as they had been leaning against it. Gil then proceeded to get out with both you and Harry following him. Lastly, Mal and Evie tried to elegantly present themselves. This made you, Harry and Gil roll your eyes.

"Hello! Welcome to Auradon Prep! We are so happy that you accepted our invitation!", a woman with brown hair said with enthusiasm. "I am Fairy Godmother", she then gestured towards herself. "THE Fairy Godmother?", Mal sweetly asked. Lord you were going to be sick. "Bibbidi bobbidi you know it", the Fairy Godmother responded. "Oh god", you groaned under your breath as Mal and Evie smiled at each other.

"Any who", the Fairy Godmother then sang. "This is Prince, soon to be king, Ben", she continued to say. "Hi! Um, I mean Hello. Welcome to Auradon. I am so pleased that you accepted my invitation to come to Auradon Prep", Ben said as he stepped up next to the Fairy Godmother. He then looked at all seven VK's but continued to look directly at Mal, who seemed to be enamored by him. "Hi", Ben then said softly to Mal. "Hi", she repeated.

The other six VK's closely watched the interaction between Mal and Ben. Was it possible that they were soulmates? If they were, that would be very interesting.

"Ahem", Fairy Godmother suddenly said causing both Ben and Mal to snap out of their staring contest. "Right, Right, anyway... Doug!", Ben said as he gestured towards a guy about his height with glasses standing behind him. "Doug will show you to your rooms. Otherwise, we will see you at dinner", Ben said before bowing to everyone and walking off with a couple of people.

"Uh hi, like Ben Said, I'm Doug. Dopey's son", Doug nervously said as he stepped forward with a clipboard. "Hi", Evie suddenly said, causing Doug to look right at her. "H-Hi", he said softly. The two of them stared at each other for a couple of minutes until Jay said something. "Yo dude! Our rooms?", he said. "Right! Um, this way", Doug said as he looked away from Evie.

Doug then took the seven of you to the dorm. He first showed where Mal and Evie would be staying, and then Jay and Carlos. After a couple of turns, Doug walked you, Harry and Gil down a hallway.

"Ok, so! This hallway is literally in the middle of the dorm. Harry and Gil on the guys side. Y/N on the girls", Doug said as he pointed to the only two rooms in the hallway, standing across from each other. "I hope you don't mind", Doug then said with a worried look. "Nae! We're used ta being with each other. Ye know, bein pirates an all", Harry said as he slung his arms around yours and Gil's shoulders. "Riiight. Well, enjoy! I'll came by later to pick you up for dinner", Doug said before leaving the three of you.

You then removed Harry's arm from your shoulder, for some reason he pouted at this, so that you could go into your room. Whatever you were expecting, this wasn't it. Your jaw dropped at the massive room in front of you. The first part that held not only your what had to be a queen size bed, but a couch and chairs in front of a fireplace, had to be the size of your dad's quarters on the Pearl. The top part of the walls were painted a beautiful Aegean Sea blue while the bottom part was wood paneling.

"This is insane", you said to yourself as you walked further into the room. You then noticed that the bed sheets were dark red, as were the curtains and cushions on the couch and chairs. As you got to the middle of the room, you saw two doors. One led to a large bathroom and the other led to a walk-in closet. "I never had a closet", you murmured. However, it was what was above the bathroom and closet that really caught your attention.

To the left of the bathroom door was a set of stairs that led to a loft. Once you got to the top, you saw a computer desk to your left with everything that you would need. Then right in front of you was a huge circular window that looked out towards the sea. But to your right were a couple of bookshelves and bean bags. You figured that this was where you were expected to do homework and studying.

"I could get use to this", you said as you sat down on the swivel chair at your computer desk.

A couple of hours later, Doug knocked on your door. You had already unpacked your bag and backpack as well as hung your jacket and hat on the coat rack by the door. So, when he came, you were definitely ready to eat.

"Hey, Doug!", you said as you exited your room. "Ahem", Doug cleared his throat. You raised an eyebrow at him in question.  "You might want to leave that here", he continued to say as he pointed towards your sword. You looked down to see that you had indeed forgotten to put your weapon away. "Sorry! Sometimes I forget that I have it on me", you said as you hung up on the coat rack.

You then proceeded to follow Doug as he got the other six VK's. Pretty much everyone was looking around trying to take in everything around them. Well... except Evie and Doug, who bashfully would sneak looks at each other. Everything was going well until you reached the front yard of the dorm where a statue of King Beast stood.

Suddenly the human statue changed into a hideous beast. All seven VK's screamed at the action. However, Carlos jumped into Jay's arms. Mal and Evie hid behind Doug. Meanwhile, Harry grabbed his hook and placed both you and Gil behind him.

"Oh, sorry! I should've warned you about that", Doug sheepishly said. All seven of the VK's looked at him wide eyed. "His majesty wanted a statue to remind him and everyone of his origins. It changes every hour", Doug then explained. Every VK released a deep breath in relief before continuing to follow Doug to the cafeteria.

"So... This is the cafeteria", Doug said as you all entered the large building. "This is where you will be having breakfast, lunch and dinner. However, Mrs. Potts always has snacks available whenever", he continued to say. "Otherwise, we have whatever you want. Hamburgers, hotdogs, lo mein, pot stickers, souffle, tacos, whatever", Doug said as he pointed to the different stations. "Um, what about payment?", you timidly asked. "Oh! Don't worry about that! Feel free to get whatever", Doug said as he gestured from the VK's to the food.

All seven VK's hesitantly stepped towards the first food station. It was evident that they were new as the other students walked around them just grabbing whatever they wanted. But luckily for Mal and Evie, they both had Doug and the soon to be king Ben come to their rescue to help them out. However, that left you with the four boys, who looked to you for help. Luckily someone came to your rescue.

"Hello dears! What can I get for you?", a sweet voice said from behind you. Turning around, you saw a short woman with white hair standing behind the station. "Um... well... we're not used to this type of set up", you timidly confessed. "Oh, don't you worry dears! We will be more than happy to help you! By the way, my name is Mrs. Potts", Mrs. Potts said with a smile. She then turned and waved to a couple other women. After she explained what was going on, the other women went straight for the boys.

"Mm mm mm mm mm. Look at this! Just skin and bone", a darker skinned woman said as she looked at Jay and Carlos. "We need to put some meat on y'all bones", she continued to say. "We're not skin and bones. It's muscle", Jay argued, trying to look tough. "Yeah, muscle", Carlos tried to confirm. "Uh-huh. Well, Mama Eudora is going to make sure you eat good", Eudora said as she wrapped an arm around each boy and led them to the southern food station.

Harry snorted at the interaction and slapped Gil's arm. Gil chuckled. even though he didn't know why.

"What is so funny, leanabh?", the other woman asked as she looked at Harry and Gil. "You're Scottish!", Harry exclaimed happily. "Tha. However, your manners need some work. I'm going to take a guess and say that your mum's not around", she continued to say. "Chaneil. Me mom was a mermaid, but died shortly after me little sis was born", Harry explained. "Yeah... As for my mom. Well... let's just say that my dad beat her one too many times", Gil said. "Och, ye poor leanaban. Come now. I'm Queen Elinor and I will help you" Elinor said as she also wrapped an arm around Harry and Gil.

"Now, what about you dearie?", Mrs. Potts asked. "What about me?", you replied. "What would you like for dinner?", Mrs. Potts then asked. You thought about it for a minute before answering. "Anything but seafood. That's pretty much the only thing available on the isle. Maybe occasionally chicken", you answered. "Of course dear", Mrs. Potts said before leading you to the other stations.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Argh... I don't think that I could eat another bite", Carlos groaned as he pushed away his third plate. "Surprisingly enough, I agree with you", Jay said as he leaned back in his chair. "Not that I'm complaining, but do they expect us to eat like that at every meal?", Mal asked. "I don't think so", you mumbled.

"Time for dessert", Mrs. Potts sang as she placed down a plate that had some sort of pastry on it. You don't know how because all of you were completely full, but the sweet smell of sugar and something else got the VK's attention. "What is it?", Evie quietly asked. With a beaming smile, Mrs. Potts proudly said, "My award winning cinnamon rolls!"

All the VK's looked wide eyed at the treat before them. Since no one moved, you decided to be the one to try the rolled pastry with what had to be frosting on them. As soon as you grabbed one, the other followed suit. Harry was the first one to take a bite of his. Everyone watched cautiously as his eyes widened. You opened your mouth to ask him a question when he turned and shoved your cinnamon roll into your mouth. Your our eyes widened at the delicious sweet taste.

"Oh my god", you groaned softly as you looked at Harry, who was nodding at you. The other five then dug into their own desserts. "Ok... ok... I've died and gone to heaven", Carlos moaned before taking another bite. The other three core four nodded in agreement.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, just a couple of things to tell you before I go to my room", Doug said to the VK's. The eight of you were standing in the foyer of the dorm building. "Ok, so... we do have curfew. Sunday night thru Thursday night, you have to be in your room by nine. Friday and Saturday night, you have until midnight to be in your room", Doug continued to say.

You raised an eyebrow at this. But then you saw the 'really' looks on everybody else's face. Well, except Gil.

"When it is curfew, the knights at the end of the hallways", Doug then said as he pointed throughout the foyer. The VK's looked to see various suits of armor standing at the entrances of each hallway. "Will be aware of anyone leaving their room and fairy godmother will be notified", Doug continued to say with a 'what can you do' look. "Otherwise, have a good night", he finally said before leaving the VK's on their own.

The VK's then looked at each other before going to their new rooms.

Chapter Text

About an hour until curfew, there was a knock on your door. You opened it slightly out of habit, but were surprised to see the other six VK's waiting at your door.

"Uh... What's up?", you asked with a raised eyebrow. "We're going to go get the wand", Evie softly said. "Then we're going back to the isle", Jay then said. Your raised eyebrow soon joined your face in a deadpan look. "Yeah, no. I have other plans", you responded before you tried to close your door. That's right, tried. "Come on, lass. We need all the help we can get", Harry said as he placed his foot to stop the door from closing.

For a moment, you looked down at the boot in your doorway. You then looked up at Harry unimpressed.

"It doesn't matter if I help you or not. You guys won't be able to get the wand. Now if you will please excuse me, I want to enjoy my first night here", you calmly said to the other VK's. "Leave her. She's just going to read those stupid books of hers. She's useless anyway", Mal then said as she started to turn away. All the guys started to turn to follow Mal. Meanwhile, Evie looked back at you with an unsure look.

"At least I don't have a parent to please. He's already proud of me!", you said loud enough to make the other five VK's stop in their tracks. "By the way, I'm not useless. Those 'books' are going to help us. Just let me know when you need my help", you then said before closing your door.

~~~~~~~~~~~

About forty five minutes later, you could hear Harry and Gil come back. You could easy hear Harry complaining about Jay and how stupid he was. Shaking your head and chuckling, you continued to read one of the books from the bookshelf. However, your peace was soon interrupted.

"Well, lass, you were...", Harry started to say as he and Gil walked into your room without knocking. You sighed and looked over to the other two pirates. Both Harry and Gil stood in the doorway with their jaws dropped. "By all means, come in", you said sarcastically. Harry stepped forward as Gil closed the door.

"How come ye room is different from ours?", Harry asked as he passed you from where you sat on the couch. "I don't know. I thought that they were all the same", you answered before placing a bookmark in the book. You then placed the book on the coffee table before standing up and watch the guys explore your room. "Dude, your room is so much cooler than ours", Gil said in awe as he looked into the bathroom. "Um, thank you?", you replied. "Your welcome!", Gil said with a beaming smile.

"Gil, come look at this!", Harry called from the loft. Both you and Gil went up the stairs to join Harry. "Ye can see the sea from 'ere", Harry continued to say as he looked out the large circular window. "Wow", Gil said in agreement. "Yep, and if you look to the far right, you can see the isle", you said nonchalantly. Both guys immediately looked to the right and 'what?!' in unison.

"Anyway... I'm guessing that things didn't go according to plan", you said as you sat down on the computer chair. Harry actually growled and harshly turned away from the window. "Yeah, you can say that. Jay set off the alarm that secured the wand", Gil said cautiously as he looked at Harry. You immediately snorted at this. "Leave it ta that idiot ta ruin things. Now we have'ta go ta school", Harry grumbled. A"it wouldn't be so bad. We still have each other", Gil said to calm down Harry. "He's right. We do", you confirmed as you watched Harry stop in front of the bookcases.

"So, what books have ye been readin?", Harry asked as he went and picked up one of your books. "Probably nothing interesting to you", you answered as you watched Harry's reaction finding out that it was a law book. "ye been readin law books this entire time?", Harry then asked with a confused look on his face. "Yep", you simply replied. "Really? Why?", Gil asked as he walked to go stand next to Harry to Look at the book for himself. "To help get those innocent off of the isle", you calmly answered. Harry closed the law book and went to stand in front of you. You could tell that he wanted to be intimidating, but it didn't really affect you. You know, soulmates and all.

"How are ye planning ta do that, lass?", Harry asked as he leaned towards you. "Simple. Play by their rules", you said with a smirk. "What?", Gil asked with a confused look. "It might take a while, but I promise that things will change. Because no one, even the King, can't disobey the law", you said as you looked in between Harry and Gil. Harry narrowed his eyes at you. "All those that are innocent?", he asked. "Yes, Harry. That includes Harriett and CJ. They will be able to get off the isle and join you", you calmly confirmed. "I'm holding you to that", he said before turning and walked down the stairs.

"Wait up, Harry!", Gil said as he rushed to catch up with Harry. "Goodnight, Y/N!", he then called before following Harry out of your room.

You let out a deep sigh and shook your head once the door was closed. Honestly, you didn't get why Harry acted like he did with you. But it could've been because you two had been friends for a few years before finding out that he was your soulmate. Shaking that thought out of your head, you stood up and went to go get ready for bed.

Chapter Text

The next morning, you were woken up by the sound of a cannon. A non-stop cannon. You quickly rolled over to the side of the bed where the sound was coming from. As soon as you hit what you thought was a box with a button, the cannon fire stopped. Groaning, you slowly got up and stretched until your back popped and cracked.

"I guess that's my new alarm", you groaned as you got up to get ready for the day.

Once you were done with your morning routine, you headed for the closet. You pulled out a brand new pair of black jeans. But you wound up doing a double take because you swore that all the clothes you put away were ripped or used. That's when you really looked at your stuff. it was all brand new, or at least looked like it. All the frayed edges or rips were gone. You seriously had no idea what to think as you continued to get dressed.

"Not bad", you murmured to yourself as you looked at your reflection in the full length mirror. On top of the black jeans, you wore a dark red skirt that had thick gold thread x's on the left side. Then with a very white blouse was a dark blue vest with outlines of birds made out of red thread. Meanwhile, you had half of your hair braided back and tied together when the rest just hung down along with the usual two small braids hanging by your face.

Suddenly there was a knock at your door. With a furrowed brow, you went to go see who it was.

"Oh! Hey, guys!" you said as you saw that it was Gil and Harry. "Hey, Y/N! You ready for today?", Gil asked with a beaming smile. "Uh... yep!", you answered as you grabbed your backpack. "Man, I can't wait to see if they have those things at breakfast", Gil continued to say as the three walked down the hall. "What things?", you inquired. "Those bread things", Gil replied. "Oh, cinnamon rolls", you commented. "Yeah! Cinnamon rolls! Man, I love cinnamon rolls", Gil laughed.

It was then that you realized that Harry was awfully quiet. You looked over your shoulder to see a very sleepy Harry slugging around. Deciding that you needed answers, you slowed down until you were walking next to Harry.

"Hey, you ok?", you asked Harry as you nudged his arm. "Nae... Gil kept me up most of the night with his snorin", Harry grumbled. "Sorry. It must be rough having a roommate", you grimaced. "Aye. Was used to having me own room on Uma's ship. Otherwise, must be nice not having a roommate", Harry commented as he side eyed you. "I'm actually used to it. I had my own room on the Pearl. Dad made sure of it", you said as the three of you joined the core four. "Hmm", Harry mumbled as you all went to the cafeteria.

/////////////////////

After a delicious breakfast (Gil was very excited about the cinnamon rolls), it was time for school. First period, you found out that you shared Math with Harry and Mal. 'Great', you thought as you sat next to the window. Of course, it got worse because Harry wad flirting with the other girls. Their giggles made you gag.

Luckily second period was Chemistry, and you had class with Evie. The only bad thing was that Chad Charming was basically charming Evie in front of her soulmate, Doug. Poor Doug just looked devastated. You honestly felt for him since you were going through kinda the same thing with your soulmate.

"Ever feel like after you found your soulmate that anything is possible, but then some... some... prick has to take them away?", Doug silently asked you as you both watched Evie and Chad. "More than you know, Doug. More than you know", you mumbled as you scribbled in your notebook.

Third period was English, where you joined up with Mal, Gil and Carlos. You seriously thought that you would be pulling out your hair as the class read Lord of the Flies. Meanwhile, Gil and Carlos seemed confused by the material while Mal looked bored. All four of you were very thankful when the bell rang to dismiss you.

However, you were surprised to see Mal walk with you to four period Economics. You simply raised an eyebrow at her, but she just rolled her eyes in response. Deciding to let it go, you went and sat next to one of the people who had welcomed you guys to Auradon Prep.

Upon closer inspection, you realized that it was Prince Phillip's and Princess Aurora's daughter, Audrey. You honestly weren't surprised to see her there as she seemed to be glued to King Ben's side. However, you were caught off guard when you saw a small glimpse of her soul mark that was covered by a bracelet. It wasn't King Ben's mark or any royalty mark. it looked to be a pirate mark. 'Interesting', you thought as the teacher started the class.

Luckily, lunch was after fourth period, and you were starving. So, there you sat with the other six VK's about to bite into your panini. Lifting it up, you got a good look at the chicken, mozzarella, tomato and pesto that was calling your name. Of course, once you took a bite and closed your eyes at the deliciousness, Harry reached over and stole a fry from your plate. He giggled as he tossed it into his mouth, but Gil hit him on the arm.

"Wha?", Harry asked, looking at Gil dumbfoundingly. "Dude, not cool", Gil answered as he shook his head. "Wha eva", Harry said as he rolled his eyes as he went back to his lunch.

After lunch, Harry and Jay followed you to fifth period Art. Obviously, all three of you were surprised to see Rapunzel as you art teacher. She then surprised all of you by giving you each a bear crushing hug.

"Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!", Rapunzel said as she stepped back from you guys. "I am so excited to meet you! Every one of you!", she continued to say. Harry, Jay and yourself just looked at each other before looking back at Rapunzel. "Please find a seat, and make yourselves comfortable", she then said. All three of you then went to go find available seats. Luckily, you found a table in the back that had three seats for you.

"Hi! Welcome to Auradon! Oh, and Auradon Prep!", a teenage boy with brown shoulder length hair said once you all sat at the table. "Um... thank you?", Jay said with a raised eyebrow. "I'm Max! Well, it's actually Maximus. My parents named me after a horse. But to be fair, the horse is pretty badass", Max replied enthusiastically. "Ye parents named ye after a horse?", Harry questioned. "Yeah, my mom's Rapunzel and my dad's Eugene", Max explained. "Oh", you, Harry and Jay said in unison.

"Hello, everyone! I hope that you are all having a whimsical day today!", Rapunzel started to say to the class. "Today I want you to paint what you are feeling today. Or draw if that makes you more comfortable. Then I want you to write a little summary as to why. A the end of class, we will place them on the back wall for everyone to look at until next week. Enjoy!", she explained to the class before letting the students get paints or pencils to do the assignment.

So there you were, using watercolors to paint what some would think were squiggly lines. But to you, it was the wind. Open and free. No restrictions. Nothing could hold it back. Once you were done, you took a moment to look at the shades of blue, pink, orange and purple. You felt like a strange weight had been lifted from your shoulders. Looking up, you weren't surprised to see Harry's and Jay's work.

Harry's was all black except for a red hook that he made into a question mark. When he looked up at you, all you did was raise an eyebrow while he shrugged. You both then looked over at Jay's work.

Jay had taken a black pencil and written confused in bold letters on a stark white piece of paper. When you looked up at Jay's face, you could easily tell that he felt somewhat defeated. But looking back at Harry, you could see a look of understanding on his face. They clearly didn't know what to make of everything.

Not long after the class had placed their work on the wall, Rapunzel looked at every single piece. You honestly felt kind of scared of what she might think of yours and the guys work. But luckily the bell went off after she read the last paper.

"Harry? Jay? Can you please see me before heading to your next class?", Rapunzel gently asked. The two boys warily looked at each other before gathering their stuff and walked over to Rapunzel when the bell suddenly rang. You just kinda watched them as you gathered your belongings. It was only maybe twenty seconds before Rapunzel hugged both boys and let them go to their lest class. As they walked up to you, they just shrugged as you all walked out of the classroom.

Chapter Text

Sixth period (luckily the last period) was Goodness class with fairy Godmother. By some means all the boys were on one side of desks while the girls were on the other. The Core Four were sitting in the second row of the three rows of seats. Gil and Harry were sitting directing behind Jay and Carlos as Y/N sat directly behind Mal.

"Good afternoon, students! I hope that you all have been having a fantastic day today!", Fairy Godmother excitingly said as she walked down the center of the desks. Most of the VK's just grumbled, but Gil was the only one who answered with enthusiasm. "It's been great! Oh, and the food!", Gil said with an ear to ear smile. "Tone it down, mate", Harry then murmured to Gil. "Oh, sorry", Gil replied, still wearing the smile. "That is more than alright, Gil", Fairy Godmother said with her own smile. "We all want you to feel welcomed and at home. Even at the academy", she continued to say.

Class had been going on for about twenty minutes, with Mal pretty much answering all the questions, when a girl with shoulder length dark hair wearing a light blue dress walked in. She looked pretty nervous as she stopped right in front of Fairy Godmother.

"Everyone, this is my daughter, Jane", Fairy Godmother said as she signed whatever paperwork Jane had her sign. "By all means, ignore me", Jane softly said as she nervously looked at the VK's. That was until her eyes landed on Gil. "Bluebird", Gil suddenly said in awe. Jane just stood there next to her with slightly wide eyes as she murmured, "Oh deer". Gil very quickly removed his bandana to reveal his dirty blonde shaggy haircut, causing Jane to blush at the gesture of him trying to be respectful to her. Fairy Godmother then patted Jane on as she was done signing the paperwork. Jane slowly walked back down the center aisle and was about to pass Gil when he knelt beside his chair and produced a two toned white and red rose. This definitely made you raised an eyebrow at this gesture. "Thankful", Jane said softly as she gently took the rose. "Anything for you, milady", Gil replied with a beaming smile. Jane's blush deepened before she left the classroom. 

The rest of the class seemed to have gone by quickly as the VK's really weren't paying attention to Fairy Godmother. If anything, they were more interested in Gil and his dreamy far off look. But the last bell of the day seemed to knock them back in reality and quickly began to gather their stuff to get out of the building.

As you walked out of the school with the rest of the VK's, Ben jogged over to your group.

"Hey, guys! I hope that your first day wasn't too bad", Ben said as he looked at everyone with a big smile. A majority of the VK's just shrugged in response. "Well, hey, I just wanted to let you guys, and girls, know that there are after school programs if you want join", he continued to say. "Like what?", Carlos asked. "Well, for the guys, specifically, Tourney is Monday thru Wednesday. Games are on Friday. R.O.A.R. is on Monday and Wednesday. Otherwise, there's cooking, modeling, book club, my mom actually leads that", Ben said with a sense of pride. "There's a lot! Oh! There's also sailing! That happens on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday", Ben finished saying.

Jay and Gil then actually went with Ben to go check out the Tourney program. Harry and Carlos both looked at each other and shrugged before going to check out R.O.A.R.. While Evie and Mal were trying to figure out what they wanted to do, you easily slipped away. Why? Because you already had a plan to execute.

You quickly went to go find a classmate from math. Henry Turner. You had spotted him walking off with a girl who had long brown curly hair. Unfortunately, Ben had delayed you. But you went in the direction that they went. After what had to be about a twenty minute walk, you found yourself standing in front of a beautiful brick early colonial house with two chimney stacks.

"Well... I guess this is it", you murmured to yourself as you stepped up to the front door. You hesitated for a second as your hand hovered in front of the door. But knowing that your father wanted you to do, you swallowed your nervousness and knocked. Almost immediately, you heard movement on the other side of the door. It quickly opened to reveal your classmate that you followed.

"Can I help you?", Henry asked with a questionable look on his face. "Your Henry Turner, correct?", you asked in return. "Yes?", he replied slowly. "Hi... I was hoping to", you started to nervously say. "Henry! Who's at the door?", a woman suddenly said behind Henry. But before he could answer, a woman who you had presumed to be the Pirate King Elizabeth Turner showed up. This made you quickly remove your own bandana in respect. "Oh! Hello! Are you a friend of Henry's?", she kindly asked. Both you and Henry just stood there kind of stunned.

"Ah, no! I mean, Mrs. Pirate King Turner. Or Mrs. Turner, I actually came to see your husband. Mr. Turner", you began to nervously sputtered out. "My husband?", Elizabeth asked with a raised eyebrow. "Yes, ma'am. My father told me to seek him out to further my training", you started to explain. "Your father?", Elizabeth questioned. "Yes, your majesty, ma'am. My name is Y/N Sparrow. My father-", you continued to say. "Is Jack! Of course! Of course! Come in! Come in!", Elizabeth exclaimed as she then grabbed your arm and pulled you into the house.

As Elizabeth escorted you through the house, you noticed the girl that you saw walk with Henry sitting in what had to be the living room.

"That's Carina, she's Henry's soulmate. Honestly, I'm so happy to have another woman in the house. Not to mention, she really keeps Henry level headed", Elizabeth said as you walked through the kitchen to the backdoor. "Anyway, Will's shop is in the back. I'm one hundred percent positive that he will be so happy to meet you", Elizabeth continued to say as you both walked out of the house and towards a wood and stone building.

"Will! Darling! We have a guest!", Elizabeth shouted as you both entered the noisy building. "What?", Will Turner said as he stopped hammering on what he was working on and turned to look at his wife. But that was when he saw and noticed you. Elizabeth motioned towards you, "This is Y/N-". "Sparrow", Will said in an awe like manner. "Hello, sir", you awkwardly said as you gave a little wave. "Well, Ill let you two be. I'll be in the house if you need anything", Elizabeth then said with a small smile before returning to the house.

"So... How can I help you?", Will asked as he placed his tools down. "Well, um, back on the isle, my dad trained me in swordsmanship. But now that I'm here as part of the VK program, he said to seek you out to hopefully continue that training", you explained nervously. "Me? Really?", Will replied. "Apparently you of all people he has fought, impressed him the most. 'An exceptional pirate with great blade tactics', he would say", you commented. "Then it would be my genuine pleasure to help you continue in your training", Will said with a small smile.

"When would you like to meet up then?", Will then asked. "Oh, um...", you said completely unsure. "Henry has sailing on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. I don't know if you wanted to do that program as well", Will said as you paused. "I actually was. So... maybe Monday and Wednesday if that works", you answered. "That works for me as well. So, how about we go on a head and get started", Will replied. You eagerly nodded and placed your bag by the door.

For the next forty minutes, Will showed you all the swords that he made. Once you had chosen which blade you wanted to work with, since your sword was in your room, you and Will 'fought' for him to get s sense of where you were in your training.

"Well done. Your father has taught you well", Will finally said after some time. "Thank you. I'm sure that he would also say that", you replied. Will just nodded ans smiled, "Let us stop for today. Then we will pick up on Wednesday." You nodded back in agreement. "Thank you, by the way. Both my father and I appreciate it", you said as you placed your bag on your shoulder. "It's not a problem", Will said as he placed the swords back in their places.

On your way back to the dorms, you were passing the R.O.A.R. practice building. Suddenly the front doors opened and the sound of giggling filled the air. You turned your head to see Harry have his arms on top of two girls shoulders, one on either side of him. This made you stop in your tracks.

"You were amazing, Harry!", a blonde girl said as she openly admired Harry. "You really were! It's like you were made for R.O.A.R.!", a brunette commented with a beaming smile. "It's no wonder you easily got in!", the blonde then said. "Wha canna say? I am vera skilled with a sword", Harry boasted as the three of them walked towards you.

"Your soulmate is so lucky, Harry", the brunette sighed. "Yeah, they really are", the blonde said as she pouted. "If only that was the case", Harry pitifully sighed. You raised an eyebrow at his theatrics. "What do you mean?", the blonde asked. "Alas, I haven'a soulmate. I am alone. Cursed to always be alone", he continued his pitiful rant. This, of course, caused your heart to hurt. "Oh, Harry!", both girls said in unison.

At that point, you had heard enough. Looking back at the path that would lead you to the dorms, you continued to walk back. What you didn't notice was that Harry had finally noticed you. For a few seconds, he had the decency to look ashamed at what he had just said.

Chapter Text

After what you had heard what Harry had said, you didn't feel like eating. So instead of meeting up with everyone, you just stayed in your room. However, you were caught off guard when you heard a sudden knock at your door.

"Hey Y/N, we kind of noticed that you weren't at dinner. So, I brought you some pizza since you most likely haven't eaten since lunch", Evie started to say as soon as you opened the door. "Oh, uh... yeah, thanks", you responded as you took the plate. "Do you want to come in?", you then asked as you gestured towards you room. "Sure, thanks", Evie softly said before entering.

"Make yourself at home", you said as you shut the door. "Oh, wow! Your room is amazing", Evie said in awe as she looked around the room. "Thanks", you replied with a small smile. "It really suits you", Evie then commented as she took a seat on the couch. You simply nodded in agreement as you also looked about the room.

As you quietly ate the pizza that Evie brought, you could tell that she wanted to talk to you about something as she fidgeted on the couch.

"Alright, spill it! I know you want to say something", you said after swallowing the last bite of pizza. "What?! I don't know what you mean. I don't...", Evie started to say until you raised an eyebrow at her. "Ok... In like an hour, Mal's going to cook up some cookies for Ben to eat", she sheepishly said. "Ben? As in King Ben? As in Mal's soulmate, Ben?", you questioned. "Yes", she mumbled. "I'll go with you guys, but not for the reason you think", you said as you placed your plate on the coffee table. "Really?! That's great!", Evie then cheerfully said. You simply rolled your eyes at the enthusiasm.

"Anyway... Speaking about soulmates. When are you to give yours the time of day?", you suddenly asked. Evie immediately stared at you with wide eyes and her mouth agape. "I don't have a soulmate!", she exclaimed. You raised an eyebrow at her. "I don't! Besides... I have Chad", she said before looking away in shame.

You easily reached over and took a hols of her wrist. She tried to pull it back but you held firm. You then lowered her sleeve to reveal the purple hat on her wrist.

"You don't realize it...", you started to murmur. "But you are incredibly lucky to have a soulmate that worships the ground that you walk on", you continued to say. "Really?", Evie whispered. "Really", you replied as you pulled out your phone. You then opened the pictures and started to show her pictures of Doug admiring Evie. "He really is like a puppy dog. He hangs on every word that you say like it's a prayer", you said. Evie smiled at the pictures, but quickly dropped it. 

"But what about my mom? She's depending on me", she suddenly said with a look of worry. "Screw your mom! Is she here to tell you what to do?", you responded. "No", she murmured. "Does she have a soulmate?", you then asked. "No", Evie answered. "Then she has no clue what you are going through. Believe it or not, you are free to live your life how you want, Evie", you said reassuringly. Evie thought to herself for a minute before responding. "You're right. After everything, I do deserve to be with someone who cares about me", she finally said. You gave her hand a squeeze and said, "That you do."

///////////

An hour later, you were walking with Evie to meet up with the others. Everyone except Gil and Evie gave you a confused look as you entered the kitchen.

"I'm surprised to see ye here, lass. Figured ye would be buried in ye books", Harry murmured next to you. "Clearly you forgot that I'm a pirate, Harry", you started to reply. "I like to keep people on their toes", you finished saying before walking over to Mal and Evie.

All four guys then chilled around the kitchen as the girls got the ingredients together to make the cookies for Ben. But right when Mal started to make the dough, you stopped her.

"Look, I know the reason that you want to do this. I know that you want to free the other VK's. Trust me, so do I. But I also know that your mother is pressuring you", you started to say to her. Mal just looked at you with wide eyes. "But I know deep down you think and know that she shouldn't be free", you continued to say. "How?", she quietly asked. "I've watched your relationship for quite awhile. Besides, we all see what she puts you through", you answered as you saw tears gather in her eyes.

"Then what do you suggest to get them off? To save those who did nothing wrong because we already tried the other night, and failed. This... magic... seems to be the only answer", Mal then argued as she gestured to the ingredients in front of her. "You know those books that I've been reading for like forever?", you then asked. Mal nodded. "They're law books. That is how we get them off the isle. We play by their rules and overturn the counsel. Will it take time? Yes. But I am confident that with your soulmate's help, we can do it", you explained.

"How do you know that Ben is my soulmate?", Mal asked with wide eyes. You gently took Mal's wrist and undid her leather bracelet to reveal a blue and gold crown. "Just like how Doug looks at Evie, he looks at you like you're a goddess", you answered. However, before you could say anything else, Mulan's daughter Lonnie popped into the kitchen.

"Hey, guys! What's up?!", Lonnie said with a beaming smile. "No-Nothing much. Just watching Mal make cookies", Jay suddenly said as he jumped down from his spot on the counter. "Really?!". Lonnie asked with bright eyes as she looked at Jay. "Yeah", he sighed.

As Lonnie and Jay were interacting, the rest of the VK's just watched them. Evie, Mal and Y/N quickly looked at each other and nodded in understanding about what was going on.

"Well... Don't forget the chocolate chips. Those are the best part of the cookies. Or any cookie, really", Lonnie commented while still looking at Jay. "Chocolate. Yeah. That makes sense", Jay murmured as he looked at Lonnie in awe. Lonnie and Jay continued to look at each for about a minute before Carlos interrupted them.

 "We'll make sure that there's chocolate chips", Carlos said, feeling a bit uncomfortable. Everyone but Lonnie glared at him. "What?!", he then squeaked. "I should get going anyway. I'll see you guys later", Lonnie said as she started to walk backwards towards the door. Jay looked back towards her and waved at her as she waved 'bye' to him.

"Nice one, pup", Harry said once Lonnie left the kitchen. "What?", Carlos asked. "Dude, clearly they were having a soulmate moment", Gil answered. "Oh", Carlos said, looking embarrassed. This caused you to roll your eyes before turning back to Mal.

"Look, we obviously don't know each other that well. But please trust me on this. Use the power of the soul bond instead of magic. That is how you will get the results you want", you calmly said. Mal looked uncertain and then looked over at Evie who nodded in agreement. Mal let out a sigh and looked down and the ingredients before her. "Ok", she whispered. "You won't regret it", you commented with a small smile.
