*Present day*
"Evie! Evie! Evie!" Mal called out as she just jumped up on the older girl's bed startling her. "Mal!" Evie cried out as she just pushed the young girl down making Mal giggle as she got back up.
"Come on!" Mal exclaimed as she grabbed onto Evie's arm and pulled at her to get her up. "Mal I'm trying to get my beauty sleep," Evie told the small girl who giggled again. "That's silly," Mal told Evie as she kept pulling at her to get her up.
"Ugh Mal, why don't you bother other kids your age," Evie whined out to the young girl. Evie had another rough day of princess training the night before and just wanted to sleep it off. Evie had messed up her makeup which had resulted in a harsh punishment. Something that Evie was still trying to forget.
Not that Evie would ever tell Mal that. Despite the fact that Mal was their "leader" she was still a little girl and Evie had been trying her best to make sure of that.
Mal wasn't purely innocent of course not. No one on the Isle was purely innocent however they did try their best to shield her as much as they could. Their childhoods had already been ruined, but they had a chance to keep Mal's. Evie knew that eventually they wouldn't be able to once Maleficent would become more involved, but for now Mal was basically their responsibility.
"Cause they're boring! And besides I'm the leader you have to do what I say member!" Mal called out as she stood up as tall as her little body could reach and tried to look as tough as she could. Evie groaned as she knew that technically what Mal said was true. Maleficent ruled the isle and despite Mal being just a little girl Evie Jay and Carlos belonged to her. It was their job to follow Mal around and basically be her mini servants.
It was something Evie couldn't stand. She didn't mind Mal. Mal was just a little girl looking for attention and love. Something that she didn't get at home. Maleficent didn't love her child, it was obvious. She barely even glanced at her. She was just waiting around for Mal to get older. Evie would be lying if she said she didn't feel for the small girl, but she did hate being bossed around especially by a 4 year old child.
Evie especially didn't like being stuck babysitting all the time since technically that's what they were doing. Mal would go around and act like she's in charge, but in reality they would follow her around and basically be her 24/7 babysitters.
It was exhausting but at least it gave them protection as everyone knew that they were on Maleficent's side and not to mess with them. As long as the three of them stayed with Mal letting her play leader they would be fine. "Fine let's just go," Evie told the small girl who jumped up excitedly as she grabbed her spray can.
"This is gonna be so much fun! I mean let's go show them who's boss!" Mal exclaimed excitedly as she ran off with her spray can. Evie sighed as she knew what that was signal for. It meant that Mal wanted them to sing her favorite song that they had made up together. Mal would call it their theme song and told them that it would warn people they were coming.
Evie knew the real reason Mal liked it though. It was fun for the young girl and was the only time that Mal could actually be a real kid. Singing and dancing was usually forbidden on the Isle as it showed weakness and softness. This was different though as it was their "warning" to others.
They had first made up the song when Mal was just a baby. It had been hard trying to get her to sleep especially when Mal had been starving and hurt due to Maleficent getting angry again. They had tried everything to calm her and get her to sleep, but there was only so much they could do with what they had.
It was then that Evie had gotten an idea as she started to hum and make up her own makeshift song. When the others had seen what she was doing they decided to join in and before they knew it Mal was sleeping the best she could in the circumstances and a new song was born. It became almost like a routine after that. Evie would sing the song to Mal every night and depending on how the boys felt they would either join in or just watch.
