Truth Or Fiction

Chapter Forty Four

Robin shook her head as she grabbed and unfurled her scroll. Things were really getting interesting, reading wise at least.

Mal raced back to her dorm room, determined to grab Maleficent's spell book and start working on that antidote.

"Even though it's not needed," Herkie pointed out.

"Yes well scroll-me doesn't know that," Malinda sighed and shook her head.

After that performance, she knew it was only a matter of time before her mom found out if she didn't already know.

"I'm pretty sure Aunt Persephone would have reached out to you if she already knew, Mal," Macaria said.

Gods, I'll be grounded until they find a way to kill a God. So basically forever, Mal thought as she entered her room.

Why?

"Busted," Uma chuckled with a small smirk.

"You don't know that's mom," Mal said. "It could be you, Uma."

"Still busted though Mali," Uma told her.

Mal nearly jumped out of her skin at hearing her brother's voice in her head. Even after sixteen years, she still wasn't used to the mind link.

"...we haven't used it for sixteen years cuz...because we definitely didn't use it as babies..."

Granted she only really started using the mind link when she was about thirteen so really it shouldn't be surprising that she wasn't used to it after only three years.

"Okay that makes more sense," Uma said, nodding her head slightly.

"You are so strange," Mal said, shaking her head. "Also, I meant to note this before but did more scrolls appear?"

"Yep," Ben sighed. "I've lost count of how many total there are at this point."

Hadie? What in dad's name are you doing?

Apparently finding out something that can get you grounded. I didn't know that was even possible.

"Hadie told me he thought that because I was in Auradon, mom and dad couldn't punish me," Malinda explained as she saw the questioning looks.

"Mom's still in Boreadon though," Hadie said. "...future me's an idiot."

So...why would mom and dad ground you until they found a way to kill a God?

...you're not going to let this drop are you?

Nope!

"Spoken like a true younger sibling!" Harriet said with a small chuckle.

"I feel like that's directed toward me somehow," Harry said as he looked over at her.

I hate you so much right now Hadie!

Love you too, sis. Now you gonna quit stalling and tell me or should I just tell mom that there's something she needs to talk to you about while she's in Boreadon?

"Ah blackmail, I've trained you well little Lord," Harry said with a smirk.

"Oh really?" Persephone asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I mean...bad Hadie? Never blackmail your sibling?"

Harriet snorted in amusement. "Oh yeah you sold that Harry."
