It didn't take long before the 4 of them reached the tall stoned brick castle. Just looking at the building sent shivers down the spines of the older three. Without saying anything the three teens slowly glanced over at each other seeming to be having their own silent conversation.They didn't have to say it out loud; they knew something big was about to go down as soon as they stepped foot in that tall messy building. It was rare that all 4 of them would ever be called in at the same time.
Not to mention the fact that Maleficent seemed very adamant about the fact that they were going to Auradon. Their Isle ruler absolutely despised Auradon and all of its citizens. The only thing she ever talked about was escaping from their prison and making them all suffer at her expense.
The way she would laugh with her sinister evil laugh and watch as they all bowed down to her begging for mercy that was never going to come. Evie shuddered at the thought. She didn't exactly like Auradon either for what they had done.
Shoving a bunch of villains onto an Island and providing them with nothing, not even real food was honestly evil in itself. Sending them all away and throwing away the key not even caring to check up on them. There was no way that Auradon didn't know what they were doing. They were very much aware and not doing a single thing to stop it.
A trash filled, germ infested, waste land filled to the brim with villains lurking around every corner ready to pounce on the next innocent, doe eyed, unsuspecting child. It was always the children that suffered, rarely the adults.
Oh how many sleepless nights Evie would have her eyes locked on the small purple haired child sleeping next to her refusing to take her eyes off of her. The only few times she wouldn't would be when she was too weak or sick herself and just couldn't keep herself up. Mal usually slept in Evie's bed with her though which did help too.
The small girl claimed it was because she wanted to be there to protect her but Evie knew the real reason Mal wanted to stay in her bed. Mal didn't want to sleep alone because she was scared even if she would never admit that out loud.
Evie didn't blame her though she would be lying if she said she didn't also get scared being alone and she was a teenager. Evie also just felt better knowing Mal was right by her side.
The way she would just lay there almost every night listening for the sounds of Mal's tiny chest rising and falling making sure it didn't suddenly stop within the night. Evie could still remember that dreadful night that it did. That night would forever haunt her.
*About a month ago*
"Evie! Evie! Evie!" Mal cried out weakly from the bed. Desperate to get the older girl's attention. She needed Evie right now. Her small body felt like it was on fire and everything around her felt like it was spinning. She didn't like it. She wanted Evie. She needed Evie.
Before Mal could cry out again Evie was already by her side kneeling down to be at her level. Her face full of concern. "Mal I'm here. What's wrong?" Evie asked her in her gentle voice trying her best to figure out what was causing Mal to cry out like she had been.
Instead of answering her though Mal just reached up with her small arms. The tears immediately made their way down her pale face. Mal not even trying to conceal them.
Evie could feel her heart immediately drop at the sight. Something was wrong, something was very wrong right now. Mal never acted this way. She was sobbing and not holding back either. Mal always tried her best to hold back her tears.
Despite just being a little girl Mal had it drilled in her small head that crying was vulnerability and she was to never show vulnerability or weakness.
