Truth Or Fiction

Chapter Two

"Alright," Chip grinned as he untied the scroll and unfurled it. "Let's begin shall we?"

Hades looked over his shoulder at the bundle in Maleficent's arms, his soon to be ex-wife glaring at him as he prepared to walk out the door.

"Gods, calling Maleficent my ex anything sends shivers of disgust down my spine," Hades muttered. "We had to start with her?"

Leah sneered slightly at having the same thought as a villain of all people.

Mal, though, frowned as she realized just what was happening. Dad...dad was going to leave me with her? Just walk out on the both of us?

"So you are Maleficent's daughter after all! See Ben, I told you! Villains always lie!" Audrey exclaimed.

"Not even one line in and she's already at risk for getting hit with a fireball," Emir muttered to Akiho.

"Are you really surprised dude?"

Persephone sighed and looked over at the princess. "Princess Audrey, it would be best if you refrain from acting like you know anything about our family. Mal is the furthest thing from Maleficent's daughter that you could get."

Audrey glowered slightly but backed down. Still she seemed to wear an air of 'I was right', causing the boy next to her to roll his eyes.

"Please continue," Persephone told Chip, who was fighting the urge to roll his eyes as well.

"Go on!" She growled, her eyes glowing green. Had she been able to access her full power, Hades might have felt nervous for Mal. "Leave! But know this, if you go, you'll never see hide nor hair of Mal again!"

"She's really telling Uncle Hades what to do?" Uma snorted. "The Dragon's gone round the bend if that's the case."

"She wasn't exactly the sanest to begin with Uma," Harry chuckled.

"How exactly did she get pregnant though?" Akiho asked. "Considering she was stabbed in the stomach by Prince Phillip Sr.?"

"The less we think about Maleficent, the happier we all are," Mal stated.

Hades stilled, before turning to square off against his wife, towering over her smaller form. "I'm taking her with me," he told her, his voice low. "She's my daughter Maleficent. If you think I won't get my hands on her one way or another, you've forgotten what got me tossed on this hellscape of an Isle in the first place."

"Go Lord Hades!" Jay cheered. Estelle yipped softly as if to agree with what Jay had said.

Mal grinned. "Had me going there for a bit there dad."

"You honestly think I'd leave you in the Dragon's talons Mali?" Hades said with a small smile.

Neither father nor daughter noticed the look on the other Gods' faces. They definitely hadn't been expecting that from Hades. Though Zeus glowered slightly at the reminder of Hades' crime against him.

"She'll have powers you'll never understand," Maleficent told him. "I"m the only one who can explain them to her, even if she can never use them."

"Oh, so you'll be able to explain her godlike powers too or were you going to brush those under the rug? Maybe pretend like they were your Fae powers?"

"Yeah that does seem like something she'd do," Persephone muttered while rolling her eyes.

Maleficent rolled her eyes. "She won't know you exist nor will she have access to them while she's under the barrier so what's the point in explaining those?"
