Daughter Of Insanity

Truth Gummie

Mal's POV

Just a kiss. That's all E said. It can't mean anything to him, can it?

Evie saw Ben kiss that Gotham freak when she first arrived. Just the thought of it makes me want to murder someone.  But, alas, I've got a good girl act to keep up. Ughhhhhhhh,  these six months have been torture!

I start to daydream a little as I make a truth gummie for Carlos. He wants to be able to talk to Jane, but I'm not sure this is how to do it. Says the one who love spelled the freaking king just for some dumb wand! "M," Evie made me jump as she appeared in the kitchen. "What, Evie? I'm a bit busy." I replied, snapping from my daydream and looking back in my spellbook. "Ben's still messaging and calling that Harmony girl. He's planning to meet up with her to 'check in'." She told me, looking at my book then back at me.

"He what?" I asked, jealousy lacing my words. Check in. Still talking to her. Am I not good enough or something!? I yell in my head. "Mal? Hello, earth to Maleficent?" Evie waved a hand in my face and I looked at her with bright green, jealous eyes. "Woah, M, calm down!" She said worriedly, grabbing my hands and looking at me. "Calm down." She repeated calmly.

After a few moments of staring at each other, I managed to calm down and finish the spell for Carlos. "I still think you should give that book to Fairy Godmother." Evie said as I cleared everything up. I looked at her and answered, "E, I need this book. You know hoe much of a mess I am without it."
"True."
"So is this conversation over?"
"I guess."
"Good." I walked past her and headed for Carlos' dorm, the truth gummie in a box in my hand.

As I walked, I was followed by a few reporters. Ignoring them, I started singing a song I'd heard once or twice on the Isle.
"Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love’s a game, want to play?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors, lie
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space baby
And I'll write your name."

The reporters seemed impressed by my singing skills and a few more swarmed. I started running and managed to get into Carlos' room untouched. Locking the door, I walked further into the room, not really acknowledging Carlos for a moment. The TV in his room was on and it showed a recent interview of me, which pissed me off more than I already was. "Ugh!" I exclaimed, grabbing the remote and hitting the 'off' button furiously. Once it FINALLY went black, I turned to see Carlos looking rather concerned.

I sighed and he laughed, "Whoa. Easy, girl." which made me glare at him. "What? You think this is so easy?! You don't have people taking a photo of you every single time you open
your mouth to say boo!" I facepalmed, "I mean, it's not that I could even say, 'Boo,' but, you know what I-- I'm sorry." He seemed to accept my apology and I calmed down a little, looking over at his old VK outfit. "Carlos, don't you ever miss screaming at people and just making them run away from you?" He shook his head and answered, "You're thinking of my mother, and I was usually on the other end of that. So, not really. No. Oh, hey! Did you bring it?"

Just as I nodded and went to give Carlos the truth gummie, Chad walked in. He argued with Carlos for a while before finally leaving, putting the key he had 3D printed on the table. I had zoned out by this point. "Mal?" Carlos waved a hand in my face and I looked at him, "Hmm?"
"My potion?"
"Hmm. Yeah. Um..." I handed him the tin with the gummie inside.
"So, this thing will make me say what I really feel to Jane?"
"Yeah. I mean, this is a truth gummie, so take it or leave it."
"Perfect."
"Hold on, though. Are you sure that you want to be taking this? Because this is gonna make you say the truth all the time, no matter what, and the only reason that I'm asking is because I know that if I took this right now, I would get myself sent back to the Isle.
Which, it's not that that sounds super unappealing, but, you know..." I rambled.

Carlos just nodded, "Yeah. I'll take my chances, I guess." He opened the tin and held the gummie in his hand. "Okay," I breathed. Just then, Dude ate the gummie. "Ohh! Bad dog!" We both scolded the dog. A small gold shimmer appeared around him snd Dude shook his head as she SPOKE, "Man, that thing was nasty! And you-- you just got to man up. And while you're at it, scratch my butt."

Shocked and dazed, I looked at Carlos and said bluntly, "You heard him. Scratch his butt," as I walked away. The last thing I heard before being swarmed by more reporters was Carlos yelling, "Mal. You're just gonna
leave me with him?"

I wonder what Ben is doing right now?
