The coronation came sooner than I wanted it to, after this, I would be returning home. I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, running my hands over the fabric of my dress. I was wearing an ice blue dress, the bodice decorated with snowflakes that fell over the slightly poofy skirt. The thin sleeves went across my arms, and a cape was added that was reminiscent of my mother's. My hair was done in an elaborate braid, gems weaved into the pale blonde strands and the whole thing falling over my shoulder. I pulled my skirt to make sure that my ice blue shoes were safely on. I arrived at the Coronation by Carriage, alongside Kayla and Aiden who were both wearing green. My eyes were downcast as we arrived at the Cathedral. The three of us stood in the main area, alongside other Royals such as Audrey and her family and Chad and his parents. King Beast and Queen Belle sat on their thrones with Fairy Godmother standing near them.
I greeted my Mother, Father and little brother who were standing near Mal. My Mother, Queen of Arendelle, as primed and poised as ever, dressed in her iconic blue dress. My Father on the other hand, was dressed in the Arndellian Soldier Uniform, many badges pinned to his jacket. My little brother stood in between them. Elias. My Father's pride and joy. He was a couple years younger than I was, but he'd been Castleschooled all his life, and then when he turned fourteen, Father started his training to become King, despite the fact they both knew I was to be crowned. I stood at the end of the line my family had made, next to Mal.
"Are you doing ok?" I asked softly, turning to the purple-ette. Mal jumped slightly, turning to me. "After Family Day, I mean. I meant to come see how you were going but Coronation prep was overwhelming."
"No, it's ok, thanks for asking." Mal replied. "I'm doing ok."
"Listen, Mal, I want you to know that you're not your mother. Whatever your Mother did, you are in no way responsible."
"Thanks Elira." Mal said with a small smile. I gave her a gentle one back, however, we turned when the fanfare started and the choir began to sing. Our eyes fell to Ben as he walked in through the large doors. He took his time walking down the aisle. When he reached us, Mal and I curtsied. Fairy Godmother gave Queen Belle a hug and bowed to King Beast. King Beast bent down so the Fairy Godmother could take his crown. Ben knelt down and the crown was placed on his head. King Beast then lifted the jar that was covering the want. Queen Belle took the wand and handed it to the Fairy Godmother who then stood in front of Ben.
"Do you solemnly swear to govern the people of Auradon, with justice and mercy, as long as you shall reign?" Fairy Godmother asked Ben.
"I do solemnly swear." Ben promised,
"Then it is my honour and my joy," Fairy Godmother tapped her wand on both of Ben's shoulders, "To bless our new King." The wand was ripped out of the Fairy's hand everyone gasped. I watched as the wand shot a spark out the window of the Cathedral. "Child what are you doing!" Fairy Godmother shouted at her daughter.
"If you won't make be beautiful I'll do it myself!" Jane cried, being thrown around by the wand. "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!"
"Oh Gods!" I exclaimed, backing up slightly.
"Take cover!" Beast roared, protecting Belle and Fairy Godmother. Mal ran out from beside me and wrestled the wand from Jane's hands.
"Careful Mal!" Belle warned. Mal managed to get the wand and held it out in front of her like a sword. Jane stared at her for a second before running into the crowd.
"Careful Mal!" Belle warned. Mal got it and held it in front of herself like a sword. Jane stared at her for a second before running into the crowd.
"Mal." Ben started. "Give me the wand."
"Stand back." Mal said as Evie, Carlos and Jay burst through the large doors and ran up behind Mal.
"Come on guys..." I muttered.
"It's ok." Ben tried.
"Ben I said stand back!" Mal shouted at him,
"I told you so!" Audrey stepped forward. Mal turned to her, wand in hand. Audrey jumped back into the arms of her parents. Mal turned back to Ben,
"Let's go." Carlos said.
"Revenge time." Jay added.
"You really want to do this?" Ben asked,
"We have no choice, Ben!" Mal cried, "Our parents-"
"Your parents made their choice. Now you make your's." He cut Mal off. Mal was silent for a moment, looking around the Cathedral. Her eyes found mine, and I pleaded with her to choose her own path.
"I think I want to be good." She said softly, lowering the wand slightly,
"You are good." Ben assured,
"How do you know that!" Mal shouted at him, lifting the wand again.
"Because... because I'm listening to my heart." Ben said. Mal paused for a moment.
"I-I want to listen to my heart to." Mal slowly lowered the wand as she turned to us, "And my heart is telling me that we are not our parents." She looked at Jay, "I mean stealing doesn't make you happy. Tourney and victory pizza with the team makes you happy." A 'whoop' was heard in the background as Mal turned to Carlos, "And you, scratching Dude's belly makes you happy, who would have thought." Mal turned to Evie. "And Evie, you do not have to play dumb to get a guy, you are so smart." Evie nodded. "And I don't want to take over the world with evil. It doesn't make me happy. I want to go to school. And be with Ben." Mal turned to him, holding up her hand with his ring on it that I had only just noticed. "Because Ben makes me really happy." Ben smiled. Mal turned back to us, lowering her arm, "Us being friends makes me really happy. And Elira does too." I smiled at them, "She's the only one who even bothered to care about us while we were here. Destroying things doesn't make me happy. I chose good guys." Mal put her hand out in a fist.
"I chose good." Jay said, adding his fist,
"I chose good." Evie smiled and put her fist in. We all looked at Carlos,
"So just to be clear, we don't have to be worried about how mad out parents will be?" Carlos asked, "Cause they're gonna be really, really mad."
"Your parents can't reach you here." Ben assured,
"Ok then, good." Carlos put his fist in. Mal looked back at Ben and indicated for him to come here. He slowly walked towards them.
"Elira." Evie said, turning to me, "Come on, join in."
"Are you sure?" I asked softly, taking a step forward.
"Of course."
"Elira." A voice snapped. I turned slightly and saw my father glaring at me. "Don't you dare take another step."
"No, Father." I said. "I will no longer live under your thumb." I then turned on my heel, my cape flying out slightly behind me as I made my way to my friends. I managed to fit in between Evie and Ben. I added my fist into the circle, Ben following suit. I was surprised when neither of them shivered at my touch. An explosion then echoed through the hall. A green smoke then flew through the window and landed in front of us. The smoke was revealed to be Maleficent.
"I'm back!!" She cackled.
