I was literally the only person in the classroom.

What, does no one care about dragons?, I thought.

Suddenly there was a blur of purple and flash of green.

Mal- the Mal- as in Lady Maleficent Bertha Faery-walked into the room and took a seat next to me

She immediately gaped in shock, emerald eyes bulging at me.

"Oh, my...," Mal gasped, clutching my pale shoulders. 

"Maleficent," she cursed, "I thought I was the only one."

I stared blankly, blinking in utter confusion.

"In the class, you mean? You...," I recoiled in pain. "You don't want me here?"

My head is spinning so fast that I can't breathe. Oh my GOD, I'm in Auradon, sitting next to the Mal, and Maleficent, did I just make enemies with her on the same that I made friends with Uma?!

Mal gave a reassuring smile.

"Of course not," she said, "In fact, your being here changes everything."

I rolled my eyes, still oblivious and not making sense of the situation. "It certainly did for me," I said with a bare hint of sarcasm.

"No, for both of us."

Her flashing emerald eyes seared into the depths of my soul, glittering with urgency and...tears.

With a shallow intake of breath, Mal raised her arm.

My blood buckled, my jaw dropped, and a sharp chill raced down my spine. 

I raised my own trembling arm to show the mark I'd had since the moment I was born, the mark that for ages I'd thought of as a birthmark.

Mal had the exact same mark, in the exact same place.
