A Million Thoughts...

Chapter 1

Mal's POV

Once upon a time, there lived a very lovely girl in a far off land blah, blah, blah. Fairytales are so boring and overrated. I just don't understand how anyone could possibly enjoy reading a story where you can predict every move the character makes. Oh I forgot to mention, I'm Mal, daughter of Maleficent, greatest villain to live. Except now she's a small lizard, but that's a long story. I used to live on the Isle of the Lost, that's the place where the Beast sent all the villains to live. But then his son, Ben, made his first royal proclamation and decided to let four villain's children live at Auradon. I was chosen along with my best friends Evie, Carlos, and Jay.

The only reason I say I hate fairytales is because now my life is one. I live in a gorgeous land, have the most handsome boyfriend, and everyone is obsessed with me. Ever since Ben and I started dating the paparazzi has been all over me, at school everyone wants to be my friend, and I can never do anything without everyone knowing my business. It's hard to believe that just three months ago everyone hated me and wanted me back on the Isle. Don't get me wrong I'm glad I'm at Auradon because I get to be with Ben, but I miss being wild and rambunctious with my friends on the Isle. I was the leader of the VK's back home and had control of all the territories. I was used to being popular, but not in a good way.

Growing up I had a tough life. Living up to my Mom's reputation was hard and everyone viewed me as her and not as my own person. The only person that could see for me was my best friend, Harry. Harry had it hard growing up, too because he always had to live up to his father's expectations. Being the son of Captain Hook and the daughter of Maleficent was hard and that made us closer. We were able to confide in each other and tell one another the true feelings we were having. The first time I met Harry was when I saw him trying to sneak his father's hook into his backpack for the first day of kindergarten, since then we've been best friends. However, no one would know because we were from two different villain groups. He was part of Uma, daughter of Ursula, band of pirates and I was the leader of the group she was always trying to fight. If we did want to meet and talk we would have to do early in the morning in our secret spot on top of Lady Tremaine's shop. As we grew older it was harder and harder to meet, but when we did I could feel myself falling for him. He was just so different from everyone on the Isle and someone I could be myself with. He treated me like an actual human being and I felt alive when I was around him and that was a bad thing.
