YOUR MAJESTY, SHE IS DEAD!"
"YOUR MAJESTY, SHE IS DEAD!"
"YOUR MAJESTY, SHE IS DEAD!"
Those words are repeated inside Ben's thoughts as he holds his son close to his heart. Soon, tears start to fall from his brown eyes as he rocks his distressed son back to sleep.
"Who would do this?' A fashionable woman in a blue dress whispers from across the waiting room.
No one could answer her question.
Instead, the thirty-by-forty walls of the waiting room had two villain kids and Ben's friends Jane and Jay's fiance. All are quiet as they wait for the fuzzy Prince to settle down after his restless night beside his deceased mother. Each one is sitting or standing across from the King and his descendant as the grandfather clock keeps ticking.
A blue-haired beauty named Evie, known as the daughter of the Evil Queen, stares forward with tears falling down her brown eyes.
On the right of the Hispanic woman is the last villain kid from Mal's crew, Jay, also known as the son of Jafar.
The Arabian man looks down as his long brown hair covers his face from silently crying in pain.
Both are distraught and are trying to wrap their heads around their recent discovery.
Last year, they lost their youngest member, Carlos, son of Cruella, due to an unknown illness, and now, their leader, Mal, passed away last night in her sleep. On Ben's right is an Asian woman in her blue warrior attire, and behind them is Jane.
Jane's gorgeous long brown hair bounces up and down behind her shoulders while she paces back and forth. To gather up strength, Ben closes his bloodshot eyes as he waits for the verdict on Mal's death.
"Your Highness?" A woman in a blue business suit whispers as a petite woman with a long wand enters the room.
"Wait! Prince Willian must be removed from the premises before you tell me anything," Ben declares as he opens his eyes and stands up from the three-seated green sofa.
The man in a casual blue shirt and navy blue jeans walks up to the female warrior beside him and orders, "Warrior Lonnie, please take care of our future King. Keep him safe, and don't allow anyone near him. If his life is in danger, you are the only one allowed to remove the heir from our home and escort him to our safe place. This mission was given to you when he was born. Will you risk your life for the Prince's safety?"
Lonnie waits for the Prince to be in her arms before vowing, "I will protect the heir with my life, your Highness."
Ben accepts the warrior's answer before watching Lonnie stand up with the now-asleep heir in her arms. She then bows down to show her respect.
Quickly, Lonnie walks to the opposite side of the room and exits the secret entrance.
Lonnie's high ponytail sways behind her as she takes the Prince out of the room. As everyone stares at her, no one notices a black cat entering the waiting room and waiting for them to start their private conversation.
Once Lonnie and his son are out of earshot, King Ben asks, "What have you found out?'
Fairy Godmother's tearful brown eyes stare in the King's direction with sadness as she declares to his witnesses, "According to the wand... Queen Maleficent was poison in her sleep."
Several gasps come to everyone as Jane starts firing questions on Ben's behalf.
"Did the wand show you did it?"
"What else could you find, mother?"
Fairy Godmother replies, "It is an unknown poison. It could be from any timeline. I have never seen this type of deadly weapon used before."
"Do you think it could be someone we know?" Evie asks while looking at the Fairy Godmother for answers.
"It could be, but it is uncertain?" Fairy Godmother replies before staring back at the King's direction.
Jay stands up and shouts, 'IT'S AUDREY! She is the only one we know that could hurt Mal."
"NO, it is not her!" Jane declares in a defensive tone before revealing. "Chad has told me that he received a letter claiming that she left after Ben and Mal's marriage ceremony."
"I don't believe a word from Chad's mouth," Jay declares.
Jane stands firm on her statement and shouts, "There is a letter, and I saw it! Chat still has it!"
"There is only one way to figure it out!" King Ben says before calling out his two most loyal guards. He then looks in Jane's direction. "For all of our sakes, I hope you are right, Jane!"
Jane nods in reassurance at his statement before seeing King Ben walking out of the room and into the night.
