The Queen and Her King

Fool

Third Person

Uma was confused at Brielle's kind behavior, but to look more convincing put her hands on Brielle's shoulders in return for a second with a giggle. Then Uma stepped away from Brielle, giving her a warm smile too,

"Thank you for understanding, I hope we can be friends"

Uma said to Brielle who was plastering on a dangerous grin,

"Totes!"

She exclaimed. With that, Uma turned away from her with a nod and went back to Ben,

"See Mal? You knew it all along. We were never meant to be together, that's why you never told me you loved me!"

Ben said with a happy grin as if he was happy Mal hadn't said "I love you" yet. Ben then took Uma's hand and brought her closer, bringing an arm around her waist and beginning to dance. The music started and the two stepped back and forth, doing an occasional slow spin. Brielle put both hands out to Harry and Mal and backed up, a signal for them to back up too. Brielle then turned to Mal once they were farther away from the odd dancing couple and put both hands on her shoulders and quietly directed the next moves as Evie supportively rubbed her crying friends back,

"Listen to me and listen to me good. You shall do everything I say as I say it and will not waiver from what I say unless it is a true emergency, understood?"

Harry longingly sighed at Brielle, as he truly admires her independent and strong nature. Harry just loves that she can hold her own, she doesn't need him, she chooses to have him around and while some might find that agitating, Harry finds it extremely attractive. Mal's teary eyes widened some at Brielle's directness, but nodded nonetheless,

"Good, I have my own bidding with that girl so I shall do that first. I'll prove to you and everyone here that Ben's spelled. Out of all people, it should be me because I know him the best, then I'll take my own shots at Uma because she's royally gotten on my nerves, then you'll have to break the spell that's holding Ben in a mental prison. To break the spell all you have to do is talk to him, talk to him in the most loving way you can muster. Tell him to come to you, tell him to listen to the sound of your voice, etc. Then to snap him out of it, Mal you're gonna have to kiss him. If you haven't already, congrats today's the day sweetheart"

Mal's eyes widened even more as she got shaky,

"H-How do you know all of this?"

Brielle sighed and glanced back to Ben for a second,

"Because Uma spelled Harry before we got here, tried to hook me by controlling his body. It was messed up, but he's obviously back now and that's the formula I used so no need to try to discover a new way when time permits us to only use what we have"

The rest of the VKs had gathered around to hear Brielle's planning, Harry standing behind her and slightly towards the front to just shield her from Uma if need be. Lonnie and Jane casually joined the conversation as well. All the VK's eyes had widened at the mention of Harry being spelled, wanting to ask a million questions but knowing they don't have the time to. Lonnie supportively whispered to Mal,

"We're all with you Mal"

Mal nodded some and smiled at all of her loyal friends around her. Brielle took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second,

"Mal, you have to do the full plan or else my brother and your lover are done, finished, over, good as gone, alright?"

She said, snapping her intense eyes open at Mal who quickly nodded,
