Away From Reality/ A Carlos DeVil Story/

Messed Up Wings

Carlos and I helped get Squeaky and Cora's bags into the truck and get them settled into the car. I looked around and scoffed, "I still can't believe you guys didn't have board games here!"

Carlos laughed, "You're still on that? After almost two years?"

"Yes!" I exclaimed, "This is a serious matter!"

"Come on Pay," Carlos grabbed my hand and pulled me into the car. I felt the car lurch forward as we drove through the barrier.

"It's Hades!" Evie exclaimed. "Stop the car. He's trying to escape!" We all turned around to look out the window, and Jay stopped the car. Everyone except the kids got out and watched Hades try to get through the barrier.

"I am a god!" Hades yelled. "I don't belong here!"

Jay, Ben and Carlos tried to charge but Hades hit them with his ember, knocking the three of them down. Mal and I shared a glance and nodded. Purple smoke surrounded Mal and gold dust for me, Mal turned into a dragon and I, a pixie. Hades' smile faded when he saw the dragon and I took that as the perfect time to use some magic. I started to fly over but Hades used his ember to hit Mal and I, unfortunately, was in the blast zone. The power hit me back and I changed back to normal, tumbling down onto the concrete bridge. "Payton!" Carlos called out to me.

I struggled to sit up, I was in so much pain. I finally gathered enough magic to blast the god, which knocked him down and the barrier shut. Carlos scrambled over to where I was sitting and helped me up, "You ok?"

I shook my head, "No," I sobbed, "Something happened. I got hit in my wing and I couldn't stop myself. It hurts, bad."

Mal turned back to her normal self and Evie helped her off the car, "Are you ok?"

"No. He was draining all my magic with that ember and I felt all of my powers slipping away." Mal cried.

"You're both safe, he's back where he belongs," Evie comforted us.

"Yeah for now," I sighed, I felt a jab of pain in my stomach and cried out.

"We should go," Jay told us.

"Yeah, ok." Mal said and we all got into the car and headed back to Auradon. When we got out of the limo we were greeted by Belle, Adam, dad, Tinkerbell, Fairy Godmother and a couple of our friends.

I struggled to get out of the car but I did with the help of Carlos. "I got you." He murmured.

Dad and Tink rushed forwards, "What happened?" Tinkerbell exclaimed. Carlos set me down on the platform in front of the school.

Before anyone could say anything, dad ran his hand down a strand of my hair, "Is this..." He started, some dust transferred onto his hand, "...Pixie dust?"

Tinkerbell looked at dad's hand, "How on earth did you get pixie dust?"

"Turned into a fairy," I groaned.

Dad just stared in disbelief at me, "You what?"

I suddenly turned back into fairy form. Dad looked at the light with wide eyes before looking at Tinkerbell. "Don't look at me, she's your daughter." She shrugged. Tinkerbell shrank and pulled me to the nearest table, dad watched from above.

Dad frowned, "What do you mean my wing has a hole in it?"

"Is she going to be okay?" Carlos asked, worried.

"Tink says that she can fix the wing, but she will be a little sore for a couple days." Dad told Carlos with a small smile.

After a few minutes, Tink and I went back to normal. "Ow." I glared at Tinkerbell.

"Did you want your wing fixed or not?"

"So..." Dad started, "When did you find out about this new..." He motioned to me.

"Cotillion. Mal turned into a dragon and I turned into a fairy." I sat down.

"I see." Dad nodded. "I don't know. I'll have to ask Felix when we get back." he shrugged.

"Are you leaving now?" I looked up at him.

Dad nodded, "I'll be back soon though. Now that we know where Felicity is and how to get her out, it will be a lot easier to go see Hook."

I nodded. "I better go to my dorm and get some rest." Carlos helped me up. "Bye Dad. Bye Tink, thanks for the help."

"Bye Payton." Tink smiled sadly and dad just waved.

"Let's go." I muttered to Carlos and started walking.
