We Wear The Mask

Meeting the Dragon

Summary:

Hey Descendants,

Got another chapter for you today. Just want to start this with a simple reminder... We are writers, we don't always, or even usually agree with what our characters do and say. In this chapter a character uses variations of a certain word. We cringed at writing it, but felt it was the best representation of her character. We do not condon calling anyone this name, or any variation of it. Please don't flame us for writing a character that is represented with all her ignorances and flaws intact.

With that out of the way, please enjoy the chapter :)

Notes:

Hi again,

So what did you guys think about Mal and T's first meeting? Did it go the way you guys were expecting? Did you guys like our version of Mal? It took us a while to nail out what her personality would be like on our isle. Let us know what you think.

Don't forget to leave us your thoughts or some encouragement. We got a lot of writing done yesterday, so I'll be posting another chapter tomorrow!

Much appreciation and love!

Yep, another month goes by...

This was getting ridiculous.

Jay growls in frustration. He'd seen the little shit swing by over ten times this week. So ridiculous! It had been three months since the damn well thing. He was over being worried, and beyond curiosity at this point.

T would show up and stand in the same spot. He'd start pacing. It would go on forever! Then he'd start to head to the hangout (Jay didn't even question how T knew about the hangout at this point) before bitching out. Then came the running in the other direction, as if Maleficent herself had manifested in front of him. It had comical the first few times... But now?

It was just ridiculous.

T was being so... Ridiculous. Dumb! Stupid! Obvious! And Ridiculous.

Jay rolls his shoulders. Well, not this time. Mal was demanding a meeting with T, and this was probably the best situation he could hope for. Before he can talk himself out of it, he slinks around the corner.

"Sup T?" He asks coolly as he corners the other kid. "Been a long time."

T freezes in awkward silence for several beats. "Has it?"

"Oh yeah." Jay grins mischievously. "But I've seen you skirting around here like you're looking for someone... Or are you spying for Uma and her crew now?" He grimaces, that had started off as a taunt, but now that the thought was there... Mal was surely having the same thought too. He didn't need that kind of extra pressure right now.

T frowns. "No. I was just..." He pauses. "I uh... Hyades has just been with you four a lot."

"She is starting to do that again..." Jay nods as he continues to stare at T, waiting for a real answer.

" Well... I did knock her down a well." T blinked, as if that explained everything.

"Uh huh..." After a moment Jay sighs. "You know she's grateful." He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. No, the problem wasn't her going into the well, it was the fact that she couldn't control her fire when she was emotional, and Hyades was just an emotional kind of person.

"Ah." T nods. "I wasn't sure."

Jay shrugs. "Then why are you avoiding us, and hanging out with Uma's gang?"
