The King and His Queen (Book 2)

Back Again

(7 years ago)

"Come on Uma let's go trash this place over here." Mal said. 

"Okay just Mal be careful." Uma said as Mal past by Hades's layer. 

"Uh!" Mal put her hands on her head in pain. 

Then slowly started closing her eyes, then passed out.

"Mal! Mal wake up!" Uma was yelling to her and shaking her.

(A year later)

"Mal stay away from there. You know what happens." Uma warned her.

"Don't tell me what to do Uma! And I'll be fine." Mal replied walking past the layer.

Uma looked away and when she looked back Mal was laying on the ground passed out again. 

(Present time)

"Make room! Make room!" A nurse was yelling while other nurses were pushing Mal on a bed. 

Ben, Evie, Jay, and Carlos were running right behind. 

"Ben..?" They heard Mal say weakly.

Ben ran up to her. "I'm here Mal." He took her hand. 

Ben let go of it as they pushed the doors opened and brought her into the emergency room.

A few hours later they were all waiting in the waiting room. 

"You can come in now." The doctor told them. 

Ben got up so fast and was the first one in there.

"Hey beautiful." He said walking to her.

"Hey Ben." Mal replied back still weak.

"How you feeling?" Ben asked sitting beside her.

"A little bit better. Sorry I ruined the party." Mal told him.

"What? You didn't ruin anything. I'm just happy you're okay." Ben said taking her hand.

"Hey M." Evie said as her, Jay, and Carlos walked in.

"Hey guys." Mal smiled at them.

"Should we wait till you two are done?" Evie asked. 

"No. It's fine." Ben stood up and let go of Mal to let Evie sit. 

Minutes later Uma and Harry came in. 

"Hey we heard Mal's okay." Uma said walking towards her.

"Yeah I'm good." Mal nodded smiling at them.

"Uma you think we can talk to you?" Ben asked pulling her and Evie out to the hall.

"What's up?" Uma asked looking at them both.

"You used to be really good friends with Mal on the isle right?" Ben checked.

"Like six years ago." Uma answered. "Why?"

"Well I asked Evie and Carlos and Jay if this every happened to Mal on the isle when they become friends and they all said no. So I was wondering if anything like this happened to her when you were friends." Ben explained.

"Well kind of, but it's crazy. When we were friends on the isle and when we past Hades's layer Mal always got light headed and passed out.

"So you're saying Hades was doing this to her?" Ben wondered.

"I don't think it's Hades. Hades actually has a son named, Harvey. And Harvey has a bunch of people down there with him. He wants someone unlock the gates and let them out, but no one does." Uma told them.
