Chapter Fifteen: Long Live Evil
(part three)

     Evie paced, 'I'm good- No! I'm evil! No...' she couldn't figure herself out. Her mother wanted her to get revenge on Snow White with her daughter Star. But then again, all the villains wanted their kids to do that. And Evie couldn't do that until she figured herself out. "Evie stop stressing will ruin your skin!" she took a few breaths before exiting the bathroom. "Mirror mirror..." says her mother "Oh! Evie! You've got an eyelash out of place! Come here!" Evie obeyed, and sat in a chair across from her mom. "Mom?" she asked. "Yes dear?" she pressed the eyelash to the side. "What made you become evil?" Grimhilde stopped tweaking Evie's eyelash, "Why do you want to know?" Evie sighed, "Because I'm going through tough times I guess..."

     The Evil Queen plucked an eyebrow, Evie flinched. "Beauty is pain. As well as being us is pain... No one cared about us so we unleashed our villainy, not just me, but every other villain. Everyone has a backstory..." The Queen began "I know your still debating on whether to be good or not..." Evie looked up, "How did you know?" Grimhilde folded her hands on her lap, "Because your not me... and I realize that now... Your not me, and you need to make your own decisions and I should not force you to do anything..."

     Evie sat in shock, "What made you change your mind?" Grimhilde smiled sweetly, "By seeing how much you've grown up, and how bad of a mother I've been. After all of this went down, I guess it hit me. Everyone makes mistakes, and we shouldn't go crazy trying to get revenge! So from now on I'm going by Grimhilde, not the evil queen! And what about you, Evie? What do you decide?" Evie sat in silence, mostly from shock, "I choose good... and this time... I mean it."

     Ben looked absolutely sure that the seashell was the answer, but Beast and Belle weren't, "Are you positive, Ben?" asks Belle. "Yeah, we don't have enough time for a wild goose chase! We meet to know for certain that Uma's seashell can help us." Beast replied. Ben nods, "Trust me! We just need to find her. She might be in her dorm! I'll search there while dad asks around. Mom, you search the dining place and the meadow. Meet back here in 15 minutes!" They run their separate ways.

     Ben walked up the spiral stairs and up to Uma and Hannah's dorm room, he knocked. A few seconds later she opened the door, "What do you want?" Ben coughed, "Um... Well, I was wondering if you... uh..." he haven't thought of how exactly he was going to get the shell. He dug into his pocket and grabbed some blue dust Fairy Godmother gave him and blew it in her face, making her fall asleep.

     Ben caught Uma before she fell and set her gently on her bed, "Sorry..." he whispered in her ear. He looked through her shelf, there were spellbook and other things, but no shell. Ben looked back at Uma, something underneath the bed caught his attention, "Aha!" he lifted the bedskirt and picked up the purple shell. "Oh, great!" he smacked his forehead "Now I have to wait until she wakes up to ask her how to get Mal back!"

     It took another 7 minutes for Uma to come too, "Why did you do that!?" she exclaimed. "I apologize." Ben says softly "I need your help..." Uma sits up, "Why would I help you!?" Ben sighs, "Please?" There was a long pause. Finally, Uma just groans, "Fine. What can I help you with?" Ben lifts up the shell, "How can I get Mal back?" Uma folds her arms, "I'm not telling you!" Ben sighed again, "Please?" Another long pause. Uma grumbled, "Ugh! Fine!" Ben smiles a little, then quietly chuckles. "You have to steal a soul powerful enough to replace Mal's..." Ben shook his head and stood up, "No! There is no way I'm letting someone's soul be taken!" He walked to the door and almost left. "But!" Uma assures. Ben turns, "But what?" Uma grinned, "Or you could destroy it."

     Hannah collapsed to the ground, the egress had fully taken over her and was slowly sucking out her soul. Khristopher ran to Hannah's side, she was now on the ground. Eyes wide and white, her face pale, and her body twitching a little. Hannah struggled to speak, "Khris... W-wwhat's g-g-goonnaa hhhaaapppeenn to me?" Khris shook his head sadly, "The portal's going to feed off your soul for more power..."

     Hannah's eyes closed then opened many times, "I'm sorry..." Hannah whispered "I sh-sh-shooouullddn'tt hhhaaavvvvee sssttaarred..." she coughed "And I'm s-s-sorry that I-I said we cccoooullldd rrun away..." Hannah's head dropped in Khris's arms. "NO! NO!" He put his head on Hannah's "This is all my fault! Now your going to die for power! And I never even got to tell you!... That-that... I love you." a single tear dropped from his cheek onto Hannah's. She started breathing, "I love you too."

     Mal heard the door open, she quickly hid. It was Ben! He was grabbing some hiking supplies. Mal peered through the door crack of the closet door, and stared at Ben, 'I miss him...' she thought '...and I wish I could control myself! But I can't!' It was true, it was almost as if her mind and her heart were at war. Ben grabbed his drink, and took a few sips before pouring it into a water bottle. 'Uh oh!' Ben coughed at the taste and looked like he'd just sucked a lemon, "What's in this!?" Mal jumped out of the closet, "Don't drink anymore! I only put in two drops, but you can never be sure what'll happen!" Ben jumped, "Mal!? W-What are you doing here!?" Mal gulped, "It all started when I wanted to save my boyfriend..."

     Francis could not believe that Audrey was outside his dorm room, "What?" he asked impatiently. Audrey he's tired inside, "Can I come in?" Francis turned his head, "Ashton! Get out!" Ashton grunted and stood up, "Fine! Have fun!" he lowered his voice and whispered to Francis, "...but not too much fun!" Francis punched Ashton's shoulder. "Ouch!" Audrey stepped inside, "Nice place..." she lied. "Not really! Ashton's a slob, but let's just say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!" Francis replied, Audrey giggled. " Have a seat." he points to a black leather chair. Audrey thanks him and sits down. "So what do you want?" Francis asked. "I'm sorry..." Audrey says. "What?" "I'm sorry for judging you... And I've been just awful to you and so I was wondering if you want to go out again?" Francis cleared his ears to make sure he was hearing right, "Are you serious?!" Audrey nodded. "Well, in that case.... yes!"
