A Flickering Flame (A Descendants Story)

Epilogue

~6 months later~

"Aren't you excited Mal?" Evie exclaimed.

"I feel like I'm going to puke" I said "And that's not just the dress"

"It's natural to feel that way Mal, knowing Ben he's feeling the same way" Belle said, comfortingly.

Things have changed since I woke up in the hospital bed.

Ben and I developed a stronger kingdom which provides for the 'good' and 'evil', the conditions slowly improving on the Isle.

Hades and Zeus has finally started talking to each other.

The bond between Ben and his parents are back to normal, the bond between his parents and me slowly getting there too.

Now its Ben and I's wedding, the time when I will be crowned Queen of Auradon. 

I'm so worried.

"Relax Mal, take deep breaths" Audrey said.

Audrey, Evie, Uma and Jane are my bridesmaids while Carlos, Jay, Chad and Harry are Ben's groomsman. My mother and Belle are with me while my father and Adam are with Ben.

"Is it too late to back out?" I suggested.

"Mal!" everyone exclaimed as I looked down nervously.

"What if he says no?" I asked out loud "What if I'm doing this all for nothing"

"You're not doing this all for nothing Mal, look what he's done for you in the past!" Jane said, making me look up.

"But will I be the queen Auradon deserves?" I asked.

"Mal" Belle said, making me turn to her "You would make the perfect queen. You have aspects of both of the words which means you and Ben can work together to fix it. I admit the barrier idea wasn't the best however it let the villains understand their actions and created the world you live in now..."

"We couldn't have been more proud of you" Maleficent said "Even if its not an evil plan"

I sighed, putting my hand against my forehead.

"Don't ruin the makeup!" Audrey exclaimed "It took me forever to do"

I laughed, looking up sheepishly as I removed the hand.

"Sorry Audrey" I said.

"You look so beautiful"

I turned around to see my father with tears in his eyes.

"I never thought I would actually be sane enough to see this day" my father said, tears going down his face.

I felt my own tears start.

"Father, stop it! You're going to make me cry!" I exclaimed as I went over to hug him.

"Sorry, I don't want your pretty makeup to be ruined" Hades said.

"It already took convincing to put it on her" Audrey said bitterly.

"Tell me about it" Evie exclaimed.

I giggled.

"That's our cue to leave" My mother said, making me turn to her "Good luck"

I nodded, smiling as Belle and her left the room.

"Are you ready Mal?" my father asked.

I took a deep breath.
