Mal's POV

"Who else knows about the crown and the scepter?" Evie asked.

"No one. We just found out not long ago and after what happened with Hades it'd only scare people more. And we've gotten new security measures as well." Mal answered, she couldn't help but drift off. She wasn't quite sure what'd they'd do about the isle but she knew one thing they were not going to give up on those kids she couldn't do it.

Her brows knitted in concern, "Will this delay our bringing over more VKs?"

Mal sighed and she felt defeated. She didn't know what to do. Ben had talked about how it was difficult learning to become king once or twice before and he wasn't kidding she thought he was but now being in his position she was lost. All she had was her determination but how was that going to help her come to a decision? She wished she had all the answers. She felt clueless and a bit hopeless at the moment as her forehead creased together due to the stress of the situation she had hoped talking to Evie would help and perhaps give her some ideas but so far she had nothing.

"They want to close the barrier for good."

Evie's eyes widened, her voice was wobbly as she spoke, "But you said no."

Mal put her a hand on Evie's shoulder and gave her a reassuring squeeze, "Of course E! Ben and I would never do that; they'll have to force us to close the barrier before we ever consider doing that." Mal could tell Evie was worried heck even she is worried too. But there wasn't much they could do until they came to an agreement in the next 3 days. After the argument they'd decided they would meet once again in 3 days but until then they were to all regroup and once they met again Mal was hoping it would be much less tense than their previous argument.

"Good, I'm glad someone is sticking up for the VK's!" The corner of Mal's lip quirked up.

"But that begs the question, the four of us are living the dream here, and we finally get to share that. I mean, what could be more important than that?" Evie asked.

"Exactly! That's why Ben and I don't want to close the barrier. I-I understand that people are scared and I know we'll do anything for them but I can't help but think of those kids I mean...I can't just leave them, you know?"

"I know. I think perhaps they think it'll bring more security or peace of mind."

"Is that what they're thinking?"

"I think so."

"M, were they seriously thinking that no one will ever go in and out of the Isle ever again? What, we never get to go back and see our parents? And what about these kids? We promised them that they could go back and visit whenever they wanted."

"Yeah, I know. And that's why I will fight for them!" Mal said determination lit in her eyes. Evie beamed. She looked proud of Mal for her progress of how far she's come.

"M, I'm so glad that you are going to be queen. You'll be a part of these conversations, you will stand up for the VKs. Thank you for telling me. And you'll be a great queen."

"Thanks E, that means a lot to hear from you." Mal leaned forward and gave her friend a quick hug. She pulled away and Evie replied with, "Of course that's what friends are for!"
