Descent into Madness: A love story

Lavender

Maleficent woke up in her dorm, memories of the day before hitting her. Hades bandaging her wounds, her friends caring about her, hades beating up Stefan and bringing her books so they could find a way to bring back her wings. Falling asleep on Hades shoulder, he must have picked her up and tucked her in. If she were honest, she didn't think her friends would've been so caring.

She made up her mind and decided to go to the hospital this day, after school ended. She got ready for the day and then left with her scepter to go meet up with her friends before school.

She saw her friends, trying to find something or someone, looking around suspiciously.

„What are you doing?" Maleficent asked into the group.

„Hades doesn't want to tell what he did to Stefan yesterday and said we'd find out tomorrow." Morgie had explained.

„Yeah, we all had different plans for getting you some revenge, and my uncle over there is being all secretive." Uliana added, giving her uncle a glare.

„Oh, you did?" Maleficent asked, at a loss for words. Her friends nodded in confirmation.
„Darlings, he is here." James said, pointing in the direction of Stefan. They all turned to look in the direction that Hook pointed towards.

There was Stefan limping away. He's probably on his way to the school nurse.

His eye was dark blue, his nose broken, and he had some burns on his arm, shoulder, and face. None of this explained why he was limping, though.

„Damn, Hades, I'm glad you found him first." Hook answered; this was definitely better than hooking him.

„Hey, why is he limping?" Morgie asked, probably the only one to notice that.

„I shot another fireball at his legs," he clarified, before looking at Maleficent, her smaller frame closest to him. „If you're unable to walk properly, then he's going to be too."

He said it like it was to be expected, like it was the obvious choice to do so. Probably was for him.

They saw Stefan looking in their direction, lying his eyes at Maleficent and rushing away as fast as he could without injuring himself.

„What aren't you telling us, Hades?" Uliana asked, eyeing him suspiciously. „Why is he rushing away?"

„Maybe it's just my godly strength that he's scared of?" the god replied. His answer, though, didn't satisfy the young sea witch. „I just warned him about the consequences of coming near her again."

„You're insane." Maleficent said in disbelief, shook her head, and left to go to class.

„Wait." Hades called out, running up to her as they shared the class.

„Do you think Maleficent knows about his feelings for her?" Morgie asked, his friends walking to class together.

„Hell no, for someone who knows so much, she definitely doesn't know when someone has feelings for her." Hook replied to his boyfriend. „Hades flirted with her before Stefan came over on the first day, and she didn't get it."

„She understood Latin, but doesn't understand that Hades is crushing on her." Uliana said, shaking her head. This was going to take a long time.

„I say it takes them well over a year to actually get together." James said, gesturing around dramatically.

„I think it's going to be next summer that they'll get together." Morgie added.

„Nah, I'll say it's going to be faster, maybe half a year. 10 Dollars?" Uli set her bet; the others agreed.
