~two days later~

Mal's POV
I sighed, nervous and excited.
Today is the day we change soulmates.
But...this leads me to the question.
Harry or Ben?
Would Ben rather stay with Uma than me?
Would Harry go back to Uma and completely forget about me as they go back to the Isle?
Too many questions are running through my head.
The main one is: Harry or Ben?
I mean, I love them both to pieces but I don't know which is real love or brotherly love.
Or if they feel the same way.
I groaned, falling back onto my bed.
"Come on Mal, get up" Evie said excitingly "We have the soulmate thing"
"I know" I replied "Can't I just slee-"
"No!" Evie said "I can be with Doug again and you can be with Ben, everything will be normal again"
"Yeah" I muttered softly, sitting up "Everything will be fine"
Evie stopped dancing around the room and noticed my mood and sat next to me.
"Mal, are you worried about the change?" She asked.
I looked at her.
"No, no its just...I kinda have grown on Harry but there's Ben and my minds in a mess" I said, putting my fingers through my hair.
"You will just know...in your heart-"
"It's hard when your heartbeat literally changed!" I snapped standing up "I love both Harry and Ben but I don't know who to chose or they even like me back! I feel so stupid for feeling this and..."
I sighed, sitting back down on the bed.
"Maybe my mother was right, love is weak" I whispered.
"Mal, are you even listening yourself?" Evie asked "Love isn't weak, you're just confused and it's completely normal in love to feel that way...that was what it was like with me and Doug; remember when I thought I needed a prince and he was the one who supported me?"
I nodded.
"That's how I found out I loved Doug and I needed someone like him in my life" Evie said "It might be a different experience but...you'll know when the time comes"
Yeah, like I have so much time.
Like 30 minutes.
Even less than that.
"Stop stressing, you'll be fine" Evie said.
I rolled my eyes and heard the door open.
"It's time" Jane said.
I stood up and smiled nervously at her.
It's time.

"You okay Mal?" Jane asked as we walked to the royal family's private courtyard where the spell is taken place.
I looked at her surprised.
"Yes, I'm fine" I lied.
She continued to look at me.
"To be honest I'm nervous" I admitted.
"All of us are in a way" Jane said "For myself, I'm excited to be with Carlos again but it will be different between us"
I looked at her confused.
"Didn't my mother tell you? She's going to take away the curses from the VKs first" Jane said.
I widen my eyes and hugged Jane, making us stop walking.
"Oh my Goblins, really? Please tell me you're not-"
Jane laughed.
"I wouldn't lie about something like this" Jane said "My mother said that we'll do the curses first and then the soulmates. Originally it was going to be a week from now but I convinced her to do it now"
I grinned as I let go of her.
"Jane, I could kiss you right now!" I exclaimed.
"Please don't" Jane said but I noticed a blush appear on her cheeks.
I smiled.
"I won't but thank you!" I smiled "I can actually feel like I can get close to people now!"
Jane smiled sadly.
"It will all be over soon" she said "Come on, we are late and it looks like Evie went ahead"
I nodded and walked swiftly with Jane, almost jumping around.
I can't believe this is happening!
My curse going!
It almost brings the thought off of the soulmate thing.
Almost.
I am happy but nervous.
I can get closer to people now.
The only thing stopping them is because of my heritage.

"Mal!"
I looked at Jane and noticed we were already in the beautiful garden.
Everyone else was there, nervously waiting.
"I don't want to go back to CJ" I heard Freddie say "She's so mean and-"
I noticed Cj's sadden face, making me growl.
She put Freddie through all of this, she shouldn't be sad.
Anthony smiled flirtingly at Harriet, making her roll her eyes.
"When this type of stuff happens, you see the real truth" Harriet said.
And that's definitely true.

"Children!"
I cringed at the name.
I noticed Fairy Godmother with Adam and Belle walk through them hedge entrance.
"It is now time" Fairy Godmother said "Now is the time to relief the Isle children of their curses to be removed. This is also a sign of beginning of mending the relationship between Auradon and the Isle and try to help the people on the Isle get what they need"
I smiled brightly.
It's about time!
The Auradon people can finally get their heads out of their little world and actually recognise what's going on in the Isle.
"May I get the Isle children here to step forward" Fairy Godmother said.
Carlos, Evie, Anthony, CJ, Jay, Harriet, Harry, Gil, Freddie and myself stood forward.
"This spell will effect every Isle child, we have already sent the warning to the Isle about this" Fairy Godmother said "Are you ready?"
We all nodded.
"Now close your eyes" she instructed.
I closed my eyes.
I heard her mutter something and a surge of energy came into me.
I felt something get taken out of me.
"Okay, open your eyes"
I opened my eyes and smiled.
"How can we test-"
I walked to Jay, who asked the question and punched him in the arm.
No pain in mine!
"Owww" he muttered.
"It must have worked if I didn't feel your pain dumbass" I said.
Jay glared at me but said nothing.
"I...felt free" Carlos whispered and then hugged Jane "I feel FREE!"
"Woah, a little tight there" Jane barely said.
Carlos let go and blushed.
I bowed at Adam.
"Thank you" I said.
"You're welcome" he said "I can make a right to my wrong"
I nodded.
"And now the Soulmates" Fairy Godmother said "Please stand next to your current soulmate"

I walked slowly to Harry, who looked just as nervous as me.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Confused to be honest" he replied.
"Feelings?" I asked.
"How did you-"
"Same thing" I replied.
He sighed shakily.
"At lest we're on the same-"
"Quiet down, I will do the spell now!" FG said "Close your eyes"
We all closed our eyes but then I felt a sudden uneasiness.
A familiar dark aura.
I tried to yell but I got pulled away as I heard Belle scream.

Third POV

Everyone snapped their eyes open to see Mal has disappeared.
The funny feeling they had during the spell faded.
"Children" FG said "Mal has been taken by her mother"
Everyone widen her eyes.
"This will also effect your soulmates as Maleficent took her right in the middle of the spell, I believe your soulmates might not be normal again" FG said.
"That doesn't matter" Ben said "We need to find Mal-"
"Benny Boo!"
Everyone noticed that Alicia was standing behind a pillar, making Fairy Godmother pale.
She looked at Gil who was next to Belle the whole time.
"Mother?" Jane asked "Will Mal be okay? Will we be okay?"
"Mal is our main priority now, we need to find her before her mother breaks her" Adam said.
"Breaks her?" Evie asked, scared.
"Maleficent has that power over Mal, she can do it" Harry said.
"Well, this is going to be interesting" Fairy Godmother said "Really interesting"

Third POV- Secret hideout

Mal woke up, groaning to notice she was in chains on the ground.
Panic rose in her.
What is her mother going to do with her this time?
Maleficent walked in, smirking.
"Ah, my daughter, it's lovely to have you here!" Maleficent started.
Mal glared at her.
"Oh come on my pumpkin, you should have known this was coming" Maleficent said.
"Let me go!" Mal snapped "What do you want me for anyway?"
"What my soul purpose is for you" Maleficent said "Taking over Auradon"
"Never!" Mal yelled.
Maleficent walked around Mal.
"Mal, my dear Mal, Auradon has corrupted you" Maleficent said softly "Love is blinding you from what you truely want!"
"Love isn't blind mother!"
Maleficent smirked.
"We would have to changed that; won't we?" Maleficent said.
