Loving You

Chapter 36

No ones P. O. V.
Hades and Ben left the Hideout making sure they were unseen. Maleficent had to have known that her daughter and friends had escaped by now, so it was expected to have her guards on the look out.

Ben and Hades made it to his lair heading inside, when Ben noticed the "beware of Dog sign" He stopped dead in his tracks.

"Don't worry its not real." Hades half yelled already half way into his cave. Ben sighed in relief. A three headed dog was the last thing he needed to worry about. He jogged up to his soon to be father-in-law.

Back in the Hideout
Once the boys left everyone kind of just went into their own little side conversations.

When Ben left however, Evie went to Mals side to somehow comfort her best friend.

"How are you feeling?" She asked Mal.

"I hurt." Mal said.

"Well how does it feel to know that you'll get to hold Juliet very soon?" Evie asked. Mal smiled to herself

"You know when I held Juliet for the first time, it felt as if everything in the world was okay. I saw Ben and I teaching her how to walk, swim, ride a horse. I saw our whole future, but then I came back from my dream cloud and realized that I'd be giving her away any minute. And when we got that call from Jay, I just saw that picture slowly starting to fade away. All I want is to hold her again, but I know I can't do that until my mother is gone for good." She said.

"You don't mean..." Evie starts to say.

"Killing her. Oh god no! More like use her own medicine against her. Put her into the sleeping curse most likely." She said.

"Smart. You know it's kinda funny how twenty four hours ago we were sitting down having tea and coffee and now we're bringing down the mistress of all evil again."

"Funny how things can change in an instant." Mal says.

"Were back!" Hades yells walking in holding up the ember.

"Let's do this." Mal says having Evie help her up.

The four Vks and Ben, being followed by the parents, made their way down the streets of the Isle, heading towards the square where they knew Maleficents guards would be.

They split up making sure to have another person with them. They decided to check out other booths and wait till she showed up.

"These are amazing. I didn't know there was so many great artist on the Isle." Ben said looking over to Mal as they started looking at the art booth.

"You wanna know something?" Mal asked him leading him to the back of the booth.

"What?"

"These are mine." She said stopping in the back where a lot of paintings were sitting. Ben was in love. He always loved her paintings. But something was different about these. The people in the paintings didn't have a faces, but the scenery looked oddly familiar. "There paintings of my dreams. Dreams I had of Auradon, and you. The faceless brown hair boy in my dreams was you. Kind of weird I know." She said.

"Not weird at all. I think there amazing. But what's even more  crazy is that you were the faceless purple headed girl in mine." He smiled at her.

"Seems as if we were always meant to be together." She said returning the smile.

"Told you." He said leaning in for a kiss.

"Shut up." She said leaning in.

"Make me." He says.

Then all of sudden a scream was heard throughout the entire square. They ran to middle where people were surrounding somethingor someone, and when they got closer they saw that it was Maleficent.

"Thought you could hide from me?!" She yelled at her daughter. Mal squeezed the ember in her pocket.

"Not really." Mal remarked.

"You'll regret everything you've done!" She said yelling. Green smoke crowded the entire square, and people ran leaving the the nine of them. Maleficent was suddenly a dragon trying to attack them.

"Get close to me." Mal yelled. She used the ember to block her mother's fire and when she flew back up in the air, Mal saw that as a chance to turn herself into a dragon. She gripped the ember while Purple smoke surrounded her turning her into a dragon. Maleficents face grew confused as she saw her daughter in dragon form. Mal shot the the ember at her mother, but maleficent quickly dodged it. She shot fire at Mal and got her wing, earning a loud roar from Mal, while she landed back on the ground in pain.

"Come on Mal!" Ben yelled.

"Blast her!" Her father yelled along with everyone else.

Maleficent landed in front of her daughter and gave her the green eyes, Mal returning the favor. While using it as a distraction Mal shot her with the Ember. Maleficent screamed in pain as she returned to her human form laying on the floor, with her scepter laying broken next to her. Mal returned to her human form running to her mother's side.

"Is she dead?" Evie asked. Mal put her two fingers to her neck to check for a pulse. It was beating.

"No. She's alive, just in a sleeping curse." Mal said.

"You think this is a big enough prison for her?" Mal asked Ben, as guards dragged Maleficent into a special made prison for her.

"I'm telling you there is no way she's getting out of there. She doesn't have powers, Fairy Godmother has magically locked every door, and there are guards surrounding the entire building. Plus she's in a sleeping curse. Relax Mal, she's not going anywhere. Okay?" He said rubbing the side of her arms.

"Okay."

"Now let's go get our daughter." He said.

"Yes please!" Mal cheered

The couple walked back into the castle where everyone was currently sitting in the living area admiring the baby resting in Hades arms. Mal ran to his side. Hades gently placed her into his daughters arms. Mal smiled down at her, when she felt Bens presence behind her. Juliet opened her eyes and smiled at her mommy and daddy. Mal gasped.

"She smiled." Mal said getting teary eyed.

"Just like her mommy." Ben said. A flash was seen and all eyes went to Belle.

"What, it was to cute not to take a picture of." She said defensively. Everyone laughed.

"So when's the wedding?" Evie asked all of a sudden. Mal and Ben looked at each other.

"Next month." They both said.
