Our Once Upon A Time

Chapter 4

About 6 more months have passed, Harry is clingier than ever and I've tried to ask him why but he always ignores the question. I haven't stopped being at least a little mean to him though, its just my nature. Today was different though. I didn't get a visit from Harry, and I was worried. I don't know why. Normally I feel like this should be relaxing but now it's different. I was in my room for the majority of my day at this point all until I was honestly waiting for Harry to show up, all until I heard some talking, and a voice that was familiar but it wasn't dad's. I walked down the corridor to my dad's area and saw... Mal. She had tried to steal Dad's ember. I stood in the darkness as he explained that it wouldn't do what she wanted it to because she "wasn't enough Hades". I scoffed while staying hidden,

"You know who's more Hades?"

I said before walking out go the darkness to face Mal as she abruptly turned around to look at me, arms crossed and a smirk on my face,

"Hey Holly"

She said somewhat surprised,

"Hello Mal, is there a reason why you're trying to steal my other half there?"

"I need it to break a spell! It's been cast on Auradon and that ember is the only thing that can stop who did it!"

She said quite tense,

"Calm down damn, I'm sure it's not that bad..."

I said rolling my eyes,

"... you've always been the more dramatic one anyway, what kind of spell is it?"

"A sleeping spell, on all of Auradon. And the girl behind it is getting stronger by the second, she has moms scepter"

I paused and slowly looked back to actually lock eyes with her,

"How the hell did she get moms scepter?!"

I yelled, even I know how dangerous that thing is and wouldn't dare to underestimate it and I underestimate everything,

"She stole it. Please, I need to save my kingdom"

"Well, your kingdom was lame anyway. You can't work the ember... like I can."

An idea struck me,

"If you wanna one, take the ember, and two, save your precious little preppy princess paradise, you're gonna have to let me come"

I said leaning on the wall behind me smiling sinisterly,

"Why would I do that? You're probably more dangerous than Audrey!"

I broke out into laughter,

"Audrey? That's the bitches name? Wow. Also isn't it the point for me to be stronger than who you're up against?"

"You have a temper though"

"And you don't?"

"Girls girls, no fighting now"

Dad said walking over to us and putting a hand on both of our shoulders to try to keep us distanced just in case,

"I'll let you have the ember..."

My jaw dropped and I was seriously about to go off on his ass,

"... if you let Holly go with you, she's right. She can do almost everything that I can and if you're not gonna let me go then its gonna have to be her"

I laughed right in Mals face,

"I was right! Once a-fuckin-gain!"

She looked at me and contemplated,
