HI My Lovelies! Hope you All had a Wonderful Thanksgiving, This year I had alot to be grateful for including all of you!
This story takes place a few months after the Events of Where is Evie, During Christmas Time! I figured I should have a mild story since the last one was a tad intense. Please Remember to Leave Reviews, Favorite, Follow, and Share with your friends!
Now without Further Ado, I give you Christmas in Auradon.
It was December 25thon the Isle of the Lost, the six year old daughter of the fearsome Maleficent came running into the bargain castle where she lived. She kicked off her shoes and took off the thin jacket she wore most days, "Mommy, I'm home from Jay's house!" Mal ran through the house until she found her mother pouring a vial of green liquid into some spoiled milk. Mal walked over to her mom as she handed her the cup "how is my nasty little girl" Maleficent asked with a sneer on her face causing Mal to smirk "I spray painted buildings with Jay!" she said proudly. Maleficent shook her head "you call that evil? When I was your age I was already learning magic and instilling fear into all, Perhaps you are weak like your human father." Mal lowered her head and took a sip of the milk forgetting all about the vial, she felt the tears fill her eyes. "Crying is for the weak child, now go to your room!" Maleficent commanded pointing to the stairs leading upstairs, Mal tilted her head "But what about Christmas?" she asked curiously only to recieve a dirty look from her mother "Christmas? HA, Like anyone would take the time to give you anything , stop acting like a spoiled brat." Mal nodded sadly and ran upstairs to her room leaving the now empty cup on the counter. Mal laid on the bed and sniffled sadly as her mind became blurry of all things Merry and Bright.
Mal was shaken out of her thoughts as Ben walked over to her placing a cup of Hot chocolate on stand beside the window they were sitting at, Ben kissed Mal's cheek and smiled
"How are you feeling" Ben asked, It had only been about three months since Evie went missing and Evil Queen was defeated.
"I'm alright I guess, have you heard from Evie today?" Mal said as she sipped the warm drink slowly.
"Yes I have Mal, she will be here as well as everyone else for the Christmas party" Ben reassured Mal especially recently, now that she was living in Aurora's Castle she was a little jumpy. Audrey had been sent to stay with Flora,Fauna and Merry Weather for the Holidays working off her wrong doings while Chad had been sent to work in the mines for the holidays with the seven dwarves. Everything was as it should be and now it was soon to be Christmas and it was in Mal's Honor, Ben hoped it would all go as planned. Ben snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at his girlfriend "Do you want to go outside? It's snowing and we could go on a sleigh ride." Ben asked hopeful that she would say okay. Mal sighed and stood up walking over to her bed and shaking her head "No thanks Ben but thanks" she smiled and sat down. "Mal, this is our first Christmas together why aren't you more excited?" Ben asked curiously he hadn't received an answer and after a few minutes her walked over to Mal kissing her cheek "I will be back tonight alright?" Mal smiled and nodded "yes see you tonight Ben"
Ben walked out of the doors and opened his phone swiping until her found the number for someone who would know all about Mal's dislike for the holidays.
"Evie, it's Ben are you busy?
"Hey Ben, no I'm not busy just resting until Mal's party later I can't wait!"
"yea, thats what I wanted to talk to you about" Ben cleared his throat not sure how to say what he was thinking.
"oh no, is Mal okay? is she sick! I will be right there!"
"no no Evie, Mal is fine she's not sick or at least I don't think she is….. It's just Mal doesn't seem very excited about Christmastime, it's like she has no knowledge of the holiday at all. I was hoping you knew anything about this?"
There was a long pause and then a sigh from the other end, Ben felt butterflies in his stomach fearing the worst he was about to speak up when Evie answered
"Ben, there's uh something you need to know about Mal, Jay, Carlos and I will come over in a little bit to talk. In the meantime try not to make such a big fuss about the holidays, I gotta go Ben see you later"
"Bye Evie." Ben hung up the phone and sighed now he really needed some answers, He turned around and headed back inside the castle to wait for his friends. An hour later Carlos, Jay and Evie walked into Aurora's Castle and sat down with Ben looking at him carefully. "Hey Ben" Carlos and Jay said as they sat down on two comfy chairs, Evie got up and hugged him tightly before taking a seat beside him.
"Ben, there is something wrong with Mal, you're right about that…" Evie said with a quick glance to the other two VK's
"Well what is it, why does she not care about Christmastime?" Ben asked anxiously looking between Evie and the boys. Carlos looked at Ben "It's not that she doesn't care about Christmas….." he said before looking to Evie for help. "Ben Mal doesn't remember anything about Christmas thats why she doesn't seem to care." Evie said quietly taking Ben's hand in her's and giving it a gentle squeeze "When we were younger Maleficent came to my… M... Evil Queen" Evie stuttered out, Ever since the day she was taken and almost killed she had not been able to call Evil Queen Mother, she sighed when Ben placed his hand on Evie's. Evie smiled and continued "Evil Queen gave Maleficent a Vial, I overheard the conversation as I was reapplying my blush. They said Mal would drink this and never remember anything from Christmastime" Evie spoke and glanced up at Ben who looked upset
"so you mean to tell me, that Maleficent Cursed her own daughter, but why?"
"to take away the joy and happiness she found in the holiday, Winter and Christmas are Mal's Favorite time of year and Maleficent hated it." Jay spoke up.
"Well we have to fix this!" Ben exclaimed jumping up from the chair he was sitting on.
"Ben, We've tried every year for nine years, nothing works." Carlos said looking up at Ben then at Evie whose face changed form a frown to a big smile "What are you thinking Evie?" Carlos asked curiously
"I think I know how to actually fix Mal, but it will take everyone of us." Evie said smiling at Ben and the boys, "We are going to bring the joy and happiness of Christmas back to Mal with Enchanted Presents, each of us will choose a special gift and we will have Jane enchant the items to bring the memories out!" Evie exclaimed clapping her hands together.
"Evie You're a Genius!" Ben said with a grin on his face hugging her gently
"the only thing is we will have to do it by the time of the party tonight" Carlos chimed in.
"Then we don't have time to waste! Lets go!" Evie spoke and led the group out of the castle to help their friend love Christmas once again.
