The Unexpected

Chapter 9: Council of Villains

Heidi's POV

"Come on love wake up." I hear the sound of Harry's voice say as I open my eyes to see him and Henry kneeling over me, "What happened?" I ask sitting up slowly and I notice that Harry and I are not the only ones here, "What is everyone doing here?" I ask while Harry helps me back to my feet with one hand and uses his other hand to secure Henry in his arms. "It would seem that we all have been summoned before the council of villains." I sigh as I look around the dark and extremely cold strange room to see that it looked the inside of a deserted throne room but what catches my eye is the high arching ring of ten podiums each with its own cushioned chairs that encircle the room high above,

"I don't remember this place on the Isle." I say trying to figure out where I am exactly. "That is because this used to be the underground home of Sienna, only know the remaining villains on the Isle have turned into some kind of underground palace for the mysterious council." Uma says with an acid and pissed off tone in her voice. "Welcome visitors from Auradon." Says a voice from above us and as we all look up we see that all ten members of the council have finally arrived. "Allow us to proceed with roll call." Say the annoying voice of Claude Frollo.

"Gaston JR the son of Gaston." JR says as he smiles down at us and winks at Evie. "Harrison the son of Prince Hans." Harrison says slightly bowing, "Ura son of Ursula." Ura smiles a vicious smile down at his sister. "Quinn the daughter of Queen of Hearts." Quinn looks down at all of us with righteous eyes. "Gavin Gothel the son of Mother Gothel." Gavin just scoffs as he sits back down in his chair. "Hayden the daughter of Hades." My eyes lock with Hayden and the look between us tell both us that we are done with each other just yet.

"Claudine Frollo the daughter of Claude Frollo." Nodding her head to someone before sitting back down. "Anthony Tremaine the son of Anastasia Tremaine." He bows before sitting back down. "Savannah the daughter of Scar." Savannah says in a lazy voice as she lounges in her chair like she already bored. Finally someone stands up from the chair in the front of the room and when this person stands up all of start getting the feeling that coming back to Isle was a huge mistake. "I am Chris the son of The Chernabog and high ruler over this council." As Chris looks at each one of us I start getting the feeling that he hasn't forgotten about what happened last time any of us saw him.

"Hello members of the council of villains, you all know who all of us are, but I am curious about why you had us brought here under such methods?" Mal asks standing in front of us as she eyes each member of the council especially Chris. "You have our apologizes Queen Mal, we only wish to keep the location of our frozen fortress a secret from those who wish us ill will." Chris hisses with a murderous smile on his face. "What business does Auradon have here on the Isle of Villains?" Growls Savannah and this sets off a chain of questions and some accusations.

"We don't want Auradon interfering with isle affairs any longer!" Yells Quinn as she slams her hands onto arms of her chair, "We demand that Isle be treated as part of the any other kingdom in Auradon!" Yells Harrison as I start having flashbacks of all the council meetings that I attend in Auradon. "ENOUGH!" Roars Chris and just like that the room goes so quite that you could hear a pin drop. "Now we will all have our chance to express our grievousness with Queen Mal, but one at a time." Chris takes a deep breath and even from where I am standing I can see his eyes start glowing that dangerous and evil yellow.

"Now Queen Mal, what brings you to our little kingdom?" Chris asks in the nicest way possible and anyone can care how hard Chris is trying to keep his composer. "We are here on behalf of King Benjamin, he sent us here as a relief mission to make sure that the Isle isn't planning a revolt or anything that would upset the balance of peace." Chris look around at the other members of the council as they all murmur and talk in a hush tone. 

"The isle of Villains have no intention on disrupting anything, now that the barrier has been destroyed the only thing our residents wish to do is live out our lives in peace." Harry and I look at each other both with the same look of not believing a single word that comes out of the mouth of any villain, because everyone on the Isle then and now always has the same goal of rewriting history and creating a false reality in favor of the villain always winning instead of the heroes. 

"An interloper has appeared in Auradon, I am just wondering if any resident of this Isle had anything to do with that?" I ask staring a hole through Chris as he stares a hole right back at me. "I did give you four warning before I sentenced here, and from what my ravens whisper in my ear it would seem that all my predictions have come true so far." I nod my head because I will give the devil his due.

"Did anyone from the isle have anything to do with the Interloper?" I ask again as I feel my hair start to flame up. "I am afraid that I can only speak for myself, and with that said I can honestly say that I know nothing of this Interloper, but I will look into it for you." Mal nods her head but unfortunately as I look around room at the rest of members I know that this council meeting is far from over.
