"Maddy!" Harry bellowed, rushing to Uma's side and staring up at the statue of his girlfriend in pure horror.

Her hand was outstretched towards Celia, who was looking at Audrey in fear, and her mouth was open in shock. Eyes wide and frozen.

Uma stumbled backwards into his arms as she stared at her best friend. Raising her hand to her mouth, Uma couldn't help but feel guilty. Maddy was stone because Uma hadn't stayed to help her. She had left Maddy behind and now Maddy was gone. Wind blowing back her hair, Uma looked up to the sky and found that Mal had turned into a dragon and was attempting to take Audrey down with her Dragon powers.

Pulling Hades' ember out of her shell, Uma realised that it was glowing once more. Launching it into the sky, she was relieved when Mal caught it in her claws.

"I'm right here, Mal. I'm right here." Uma called up to her, reassuring the girl that she could do this. They could do it together. As a team, they would take down Audrey and free the VKs.

"I'm right here, girl! I'm right here. Come on, Mal!"

After a few tense minutes, Hades' ember worked and Audrey was defeated. Collapsing at the foot of Maddy's statue. Transforming back into human, Mal pulled Celia into a tight hug before trying to rouse Audrey from her slumber. However, Audrey wouldn't wake.

Staring down at the ember in her hand, Mal remembered her father's words.

'It won't do for you everything it does for me.'

Mal had been willing to take her chances because she had been foolish to think it would only mean that she wouldn't be able to use it for life and death. She hadn't realised it meant Audrey would be sacrificed to undo the magic. Peering over the edge of the tower, she noticed they had been joined by Evie, Carlos, Jay, Ben and Doug. They had been unfrozen.

Turning to face her sister for help, Mal frowned when she noticed that Maddy was still made of stone. Maybe, because she had been frozen last, it would take her a little longer to return to normal.

Turning into her dragon form, Mal grabbed the three girls and flew them back down to the ground. Maddy didn't turn back.

5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes had passed and Maddy had yet to return from stone.

"Why isn't she turning back?" Harry demanded, staring at his girlfriend with fear. "Mal, turn her back."

"I can't Harry." Mal whispered, tears pooling in her eyes when she realised this was permanent. "I don't know how to. The ember should've changed her back and it didn't."

"No, no, no. No! Maddy, come on. Come back to me, beautiful. Come back to me." Harry begged.

Tears pooled in his eyes as he looked at the girl he loved with all his heart. He did not make it this far just to lose her now. They didn't cross multiple obstacles just to be torn apart by magic gone wrong.
