A couple weeks later family day rolled around which meant I got to see my parents, but that also meant making sure nothing... "Evil" happened with my friends around. I put on a lavender off the shoulder mini dress with the sunlilly embroidered on the skirt... with my dagger strapped to my thigh (better safe than sorry) I was walking out to the garden where the festivities took place when I peeked into the remedial goodness class to see Maleficent, Cruella D'ville, the Evil Queen, and Jafar on a tv screen with Mal, Evie, Jay and Carlos in front of it, I couldn't make out much but i did hear a lot of arguing. I eventually made it to the gardens... and hid in a tree, I was not about to partake in that musical number... felt like a fever dream. I came down from my hiding spot and met up with my parents
"Raina!"
My mother squealed as she squeezed me tightly
"Mom... crushing my ribs"
I squeak
"Hey kid"
My dad pats my shoulder
"Hi dad"
We spend some time catching up and then join the rest of the family for a game of croquet. I noticed Mal talking to queen leah... Audrey's grandmother
"Oh this can only go well"
I think
"Grammy, I don't think you want to be talking to this girl. Unless you feel like taking another hundred-year nap"
Audrey says to her grandmother
"Hey Raina, your turn"
My father taps me on the shoulder
"Uh, yeah pops, hold that thought"
I brush away his hand and keep an eye on Mal and queen Leah
"What? You! How are you here? And how have you stayed so young?"
Queen Leah yells
"Ah fuck"
I whisper, Ben walks over to Mal and Queen Leah
"Queen Leah, It's okay. Maleficent is still on the island. This is her daughter, Mal. Don't you remember my proclamation to give the new generation a chance?"
Ben tries to calm down Queen Leah and I'm walking over there and reaching for my dagger in case shit gets out of hand
"A chance to what, Ben? Destroy us? Come on. You remember, don't you? The poison apples. And the spells. Spells. My daughter... Was raised by fairies because of your mother's curse. So her first words, her first steps, I missed it all! You mustn't trust her"
Queen Leah rants while Mal and Ben stands stunned
"I'm so so..."
Mal tries to apologize, until Chad walks up
"Go away! Stay away from her!"
Chad yells
"Ok that's it"
I think
"Chad, I suggest you bud out before I do something I'm gonna regret"
I threaten
"Oh, of course your defending her, your practically one of them"
Chad says
"This isn't about me Chad, now fuck off"
I tell him, Chad started getting angry, he shifts his eyes to my hand that's now holding my dagger
"You're seriously gonna pull a knife on me? You're gonna stab me!? For a Villian!?"
He yells
"Don't do this, Chad"
Ben says trying to defuse the argument
"What? They were raised by their parents, Ben. What do you think villains teach their kids? Huh? Kindness? Fair play? No way, okay? Uh-uh. You stole another girl's boyfriend"
Chad interrupts, pointing at Mal
"Hey, hey!"
Now Ben's getting angry but Chad goes on
"Oh. You enjoy hurting people. And you, you're nothing but a gold digger and a cheater"
Chad says pointing to Jay and Evie. Evie reaches for her magic mirror
"Mirror, mirror, in my hand, who's the biggest jerk in the land?"
She yells as the mirror shows an image of Chad
"What? Come on!"
Chad yells confused, and then he starts getting physical trying to take Evie by the shoulders when Jay steps in
"Back off, Chad. All right? Back off!"
Jay orders, suddenly Evie pulls out a little perfume bottle from her purse and sprays it on chad knocking him out
"Chad! Chad? Chad! Evie did something to Chad!"
Audrey screams, I walk over to Jay now holding Evie by the arms
"Alright, now's your cue to leave"
I whisper while leading them away from the crowd
"I'll handle this you guys go"
Jay and the others leave and I walk over to chad's unconscious body, Audrey looks like she's on the verge of a break down and doug and Lonnie are shaking him trying to wake him up
"Get away from him!"
Audrey screams
"Chill the fuck out, he's not dead just unconcious"
I say aggravated, I place my hand on chad's forehead and allow the golden mist of healing magic come from my fingertips, a couple seconds later chad springs awake, Doug and Lonnie help him up and he gives me a weak but incredibly smug smile
"And now, so you don't get any ideas"
I punch Chad in the stomach and walk off to find Jay and the others. I eventually find them sitting at a bench quietly
"Hey"
I say softly
"Y'all alright?"
"Yeah... we're alright"
Mal replies somberly
"If it's any consolation... I punched chad"
I say trying to lighten the mood
"It's fine, Raina"
Jay says, suddenly my phone buzzes and It was someone regarding last minute coronation security
"Sorry, I gotta go... you know where to find me"
Today really couldn't have been worse could it?
