11.

WE SAT at a picnic table outside eating lunch. I sat beside Mal and she wasn't eating, none of us were. Now seeing how rude and negative people could be to someone who is from a different story, I wasn't sure I wanted to stay. Some of these people deserve to be kicked out of their fucking castles.

"Hey, guys." Ben greeted us, coming over and standing beside Jay. "How is everyone?... Yeah? Hey, listen. Forget about it. All right? It was nothing. Forget about it. Let it go." He stood behind Mal, hands on her shoulders. "Tomorrow, after the coronation, I promise everything will be okay."

Ben bent down and whispered to his girlfriend, who looked extremely sad, but didn't want to show it, though it showed. "I'll see you guys later."

"Listen, Evie, I wanna talk about earlier today. I just..." Doug began before Chad yelled.

"Doug."

"It's my fault, Doug. I'm so sorry."

"No, it's mine."

"Doug!"

"What?"

"Doug.." E sighed, sadly.

"Sorry, I can't." He apologized, going over and sitting with Charming.

"How long does she think that's gonna last?" Audrey asked Jane, clearly terrible at talking behind people's backs because she was right behind us. "Mal's just the bad girl infatuation."

"Yeah, I mean, he's never gonna make a villain a queen." Jane said right in her ear. They walked over back to their group, cackling like a bunch of bitches.

"That's it." I said under my breath, coming up with a quick spell to undo Jane's hair. I snapped my fingers and I heard shrieks behind us, along with loud laughing from Audrey. I stood up and Evie did as well. "Nice hair, Jane."

"Excuse me, who do you think you are?" Audrey questioned with her signature sass.

"Oh, no one. Just a person who can curse anyone I want into a beast... with no cure." I shrugged, smirking. I began pointing at the girls. "Eeny meeny miny..."

The girls' eyes widened and they all staggered away. I turned back around and saw that Mal had stood up, smiling evilly at me. "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. Let's grab that wand and blow this popsicle stand."

Carlos and Jay stood up and we left.

─── · .ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. · ───

Today was Ben's coronation, which meant the day we get to leave this place. I was still in a jumble if I wanted to leave or stay, but wherever they went, I went. I wore a green long silk dress and black heels with straps with my usual gold jewelry.

We watched up from the dais, I was in between E and Carlos, who was still holding Dude. The servants pulled open the large doors, unveiling the prince. We all bowed down when he passed us. Fairy Godmother took the former king's crown and placed it on Ben's. Adam lifted the lid off of the wand and Mal glanced at us, signalling that she was ready.

"Do you solemnly swear to govern the peoples of Auradon with justice and mercy as long as you shall reign?" Godmother questioned, wand in her hands.

"I do solemnly swear."

"Then it is my honour and my joy to bless our new king." She recited, and suddenly a hand took the wand making everyone gasp.

A strike of magic was shot out of the building and the ground shook shortly after, I had a feeling that that might have created a hole in the barrier.

"Child, what are you doing!?" I realized that it was Jane who stole the magic artifact.

"If you won't make me beautiful, I'll do it myself! Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" Jane shouted, waving it around with no control whatsoever.

"Take cover!" Adam yelled before Mal grabbed the wand out of her weak grasp.

"Be careful, Mal!" Belle yelled and she finally took it.

"Time to go." I whispered and we all ran.

─── · .ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. · ───

"Stand back. Ben, I said stand back!" Mal ordered.

"I told you so!" Audrey reminded everyone and she pointed it at her, making the girl scream and back up.

"Let's go!" Carlos yelled.

"Revenge time." Jay said in a kind of sing-song voice.

"You really want to do this?"

"We have no choice, Ben! Our parents-" Mal shouted.

"Your parents made their choice. Now, you make yours." Ben explained.

"..I think I want to be good." She confessed.

"You are good."

"How do you know that!?"

"Because..because I'm listening to my heart." He sighed, finding the quickest answer.

"I want to listen to my heart, too." She put down the wand. "And my heart is telling me that we are not our parents. I mean, stealing things doesn't make you happy. Tourney and victory pizza with the team, makes you happy. And you, scratching Dude's belly, makes you happy. Who would've thought? And Esme, reading or spending time with any of us makes you happy. And Evie, you do not have to play dumb to get a guy. You are so smart. And I don't want to take over the world with evil. It doesn't make me happy. I want to go to school..and be with Ben. Because Ben makes me really happy."

M turned around, holding up the hand with his ring on it. "Us being friends makes me really happy. Not destroying things. I choose good, you guys."

She stuck out a hand and slowly we all chose good, putting our hands together. Then a green cloud of smoke snaked through the hole in the roof, landing on the ground, revealing Maleficent. "I'm back!"

"It can't be. Go away, Mother."

"She's funny. Oh, I'm so..You're very funny..here. " The horned lady snorted. "Wand me. Chop-chop."

"No!" Ben yelled as Mal then decided to throw it to Fairy Godmother.

"Bibbidi-bobbidi-" She began waving it in circles.

"Boo." Maleficent finished then froze everyone except us six then walked over to Adam. "Sike. Excuse... Oh...In another time, in another time."

"Oh, my god." I gagged behind my hand.

She then took the wand from Fairy's hands. "Oh, oh, no. Someone needs to pluck their nose hairs. Where shall we begin? I know...Why don't we start by getting rid of this?" She suggested, the ring flying off her finger causing Mal to look at her blank hand sadly. "Perfect fit! Oh, excuse me. Pardon me. Excuse me, the horns, the horns! Oh.. falling in love is weak and ridiculous. It's not what you want."

"You don't know what I want! Mom, have you ever once asked me what I wanted? I'm not you." Mal cried.

"Well, obviously. I've had years and years and years of practice being evil. You'll get there." Maleficent rolled her eyes, scoffing.

"No, I will not. And I really wish you had never gotten there yourself. Love is not weak or ridiculous. It's actually really amazing!" Mal sniffled, smiling when she thought about love.

"I know one thing, young lady. You have no room for love in your life!" Maleficent shouted, pointing the wand.
