I'm A Big Bad Tiger

Mal's Plan II

We are in Jay and Carlos's dorm. We are working on another plan to get the wand. This one is more well thought out.

"Okay, we all know what this looks like. So it'll be up on the dais under the Beast's spell jar, and we'll be coming in from here. I will be in the very front. You all will be up in the balcony. Okay. Carlos?" Mal looks at Carlos.

"Okay, so I'll find our limo, so we can break the barrier, and, uh, get back on the island with the wand." Carlos sighs.

"Perfect. Evie?"

"Yeah?"

Mal gives Evie a perfume bottle. "You will use this to take out the driver. Two sprays and he'll be out like a light."

"Okay." Evie doesn't break any emotion. That's not our Evie.

"Shay." Mal looks at me.

"I know. Me and Jay will be carrying him into a bush. No dead weight needed." I look at Jay. We all walk away from the table. All except Mal. She's looking through her spell book. Me and Evie talk to her.

"M?" Evie looks at her book. "You want to break Ben's love spell?" I gasp.

"Yeah. You know, for after. I don't...I've just been thinking, you know, when the villains finally do invade Auradon, and begin to loot and kick everyone out of their castles and imprison their leaders and destroy all that is good and beautiful, Ben still being in love with me just seems a little extra...cruel."

"M?" Evie hugs her.

"We are cruel though." I walk away.

"We don't have to get the wand. Our parents can't reach us from here." Carlos looks at me. I'm sitting on Jay's bed with him. He has his arm wrapped around my waist as I lay my head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat. He rubs my back slowly while his other arm is stroking my hair. He kisses my Afro and he lays his head on mine.

"I know, but...we're evil and I want to show my mother that I'm able to do complicated tasks." Mal sighs.

"I don't want papa to yell at me again." I whisper. Jay shushes me. "I don't want to do this. I don't want to see him ever again or here that chant ever again. I want my mama and Sam to be with me. I don't want to steal the wand and be evil."

"We have to, baby girl." Jay stops running my back. I bury my face deeper into his chest.

"It doesn't make sense." I tell myself. "Jay, will you still love me after this?"

"Forever." He kisses my forehead gently.

"She say, "do you love me?" I tell her, "only partly". I only love my bed and my mom, I'm sorry." Carlos says. I look at him in disgust. "Gods Plan by Drake."

"Of course." Mal let's a smile creep onto her face.

"Blood siblings." I whisper. Jay looks at me.

"That's insanity." He smirks.

"More like barbaric." I smile.

"Blood siblings are sacred." Jay strokes my Afro again.

"Why are you guys talking about blood siblings?" Evie asks us.

"I don't know. I only said blood siblings." I look at Evie.

"Blood siblings? What are those?" Mal asks.

"When people cut their hands and hold hands to symbolise friendship and loyalty." I explain. "A lot of people do it. Sandra and Zabella made me cut their palms once in case the knife had cancer." Everyone looks at me. "They're not smart."

"C-can...can we do that?" Mal asks.

"Give a knife cancer?" I question.

"No."

"Get cancer from a knife?"

"No. Become blood siblings."

"How?" Evie asks.

"Here." I pull out a penknife from my Afro. "I never leave home without it in case it gets cancer." I laugh. Jay and Carlos laugh as well.

"We'll have to cut ourselves multiple times." Mal stands up.

"We'll be fine." I say. We sit in a circle and we share our blood. Evie is the last one to do it with Jay and she hands the knife to me. I put it back in my Afro.

"That was...nice." Mal smiles. "Now, back to plotting." She sits down at the table. Me and Jay go back to his bed and we cuddle again.

"I don't want to do this." I look at my cut palm.

"We have to. For our own safety, angel-cake." Jay laces his hand in mine.

"When we take over Auradon, at least we can stay here for forever." Evie places a hand on Mal's shoulder.

"But we won't see our friends. No Doug, Time, Coach Jenkins, Lonnie...they'll be gone." I look at my bracelet.

"Do it for your old man...well, tiger." Carlos looks at me. I sigh and don't say anything.

"The reverse spell is really easy." Mal closes her book.

"I need to make sure I give my dad the trophy." Jay spits on his trophy to clean it. Ah, the good old days of spitting contests. Harry Hook is the best spitter around. I may or may not have had a few competitions with him. I've beat him once. Once! That was the last time I spat.

"One sec." I spit into the bin.

"No one spits like Shayla." Carlos smirks.

"Does anyone remember the song we created a few months ago about Gaston and Shayla got everyone at Dragon Hall into it?" Evie ask. We all nod.

"No one's vain like Gaston, causes pain like Gaston, no one falls to his death in the rain like Gaston." We all chant.

"I remember "that thick raven hair, those tightly fitted clothes, what are these unholy desires? No one turns other men gay like Gaston" because it was a classic." I giggle.

"It was sort of a mashup of Hell Fire and Gaston." Mal sits on top of the table.

"No one's thick like Gaston, moves those hips like Gaston, no one makes an old priest want some dick like Gaston." Carlos laughs. We all sit in silence. "Is anyone excited for Family Fun Day?"

"I'm sort of excited. A day without school and the time we look fashionable." Evie smiles.

"I don't know." Mal sits next to me on the edge of the bed.

"Not really." Jay mumbles. I stay silent.

"It will be hard to see everyone with their parents and us standing together, looking at our parents' enemies." Mal sighs.

"I haven't even seen my step-sister yet." Evie plays with her hair.

"Snow White?" Carlos asks.

"Yep. I wonder if Snow White had a child." Evie hums Rotten To The Core.

"It's hard staying away from Jade and my Aunt Nassira." Jay looks sad. Jade was his childhood best mate. "Babe?" He squeezes me tightly.

"No comment." I breathe out.

"I'm going to the kitchen." Mal walks out.

"I'm going to bed." Evie also walks out.

"I'll see you two tomorrow." I kiss Jay and I walk out. I walk to my dorm slowly. I don't want to take over Auradon. I want to be a normal teenager. Despite my history, you know, me being adopted and my mama and brother dying, I want to spend time with my friends, I want to cheer, I want to go on dates with my boyfriend, I want to spend the rest of my life with my blood siblings.

I climb into my bed and I sleep.
