Mel sat playing with TicTic, her baby dragon. TicTic was the first dragon her mother had trusted to take care of on her own and she wasn't going to disappoint her. It wasn't usually a good thing to disappoint her mother in the first place but Mel actually cared if she did this time.
Maleficent watched from the window of their palace in the enchanted woods. Mel was growing up that was a dismal fact. She didn't like that fact either.
She petted her dragon guardian, black Smoke, king of the black dragons. He nuzzled her and she smiled at him. "Ah smoke, she is growing up and I actually feel bad she doesn't have many friends. A girl needs someone by her side. I have my girls, Ursula and Cruella but she doesn't have anyone she'll talk to" maleficent said laying her head against smoke.
Smoke nuzzled her again. "I heard Cruella is sending her daughter to a summer camp maybe Mel would like that as well. I mean what would it hurt" Smoke said smiling. Maleficent thought about it and nodded. "I can always count on you Smoke" she said and headed out to talk to Mel.
TicTic looked up as Maleficent sat next to them. After petting the baby dragon she placed a hand on Mel's shoulder. "You know Cruella's daughter is going to summer camp, how would you like to join her?" Maleficent asked casually.
Looking at her mom, Mel sighed. "Is this a request or is this a your going but I'm playing nice thing" Mel said and blasted the nearest tree with a fire ball. Mel smiled. She always felt better after blasting something with a fireball. Maleficent smiled as well. Soon Mel will be able to breathe fire and become a dragon. They grow up so fast.
"It's a request my dear. I believe that you should though. Every queen needs her close friends to help her out of dire situations, even the evil ones" maleficent said smiling. Mel tilted her head and rolled her eyes. She didn't play well with others and most of the time that was because she didn't find anyone that was like her.
Most kids wanted to get away from their "bad" or "evil" parents but she embraced it. If her mother wanted to bend the rules all the power to her. If the so called "good guys" could do it for their "rules and ways" why couldn't they. Why was their idea of right and wrong the right way. Who died and made them the bearers of right and wrong? The goodie goodies made her feel sick inside.
"Fine mother, I'll go but only if you promise me none of those snot nose princesses will be there. They all think they so much better because they're the so called "good ones". I call bullshit. No one but the person making the choice can decide if its good or bad" Mel says huffing.
Maleficent smiled and pulled Mel in for a deep hug which got another grunt. "Tonight we celebrate with your favorite dinner, pizza with extra chicken and tomorrow we head to the the camp" Maleficent said and they headed back into the palace.
The next day Mel groaned as she got into the car that her mother bought last time they were in the real world. Mel hated it there. Having to leave TicTic and Smoke at home just felt wrong. The enchanted forest was their home and kingdom and she shouldn't have to face the "normals".
The trip there was as boring as Mel had thought. Her mom drove super slow. She was pretty sure that she saw a turtle pass them by. The thought made Mel laugh causing a smirk on her mothers face,
As they drove under the sign saying 'Welcome to the evilest of all camps' which caused Mel to make a long, drawn out moan. Maleficent laughed. She should've known that Cruella would pick a camp with such a gaudy slogan. She did like the name though 'DODC: Descendants of Darkness Camp' it just felt right.
Helping Mel get her bag out of the car maleficent looked at her teenage daughter. She was growing too fast but she was also so proud of Mel and hopefully by the end of this trip Mel will have found her own self confidence.
Maleficent hugged her daughter and handed a sheet of paper to her daughter. "Here is where I depart my dear daughter. Take care of yourself and I shall see you in two weeks" maleficent said proudly hugging Mel. Mel nodded and hugged her mom and was thankful when she got into the death machine and started home.
Mel looked at the note and it said
Name: Mel Dragonborn
Age: 15
Magic user/dragon/future queen
Cabin#666/ legions of doom
Mel groaned and headed to the stupid wooden tent. She went is and noticed there was space for five people and she was the first one there. She groaned and flipped down onto the furthest bed which was unnaturally comfortable. She closed her eyes and waited for the others.
