Author's Note: So I have have a request for what kinds of stories you would like to read and I was quite intrigued by this request sent to me by Dreamer447. I know on one of my other stories people have requested for other POV and I will do my best to incorporate it in this one also but it will still feature a lot of Mal's POV. x

Mal's POV.

I was up in mine and Evie's room exercising my magic, like I had started doing daily while Evie was out. What I wasn't expecting was a knock at the door. I looked at it puzzled as though it would actually tell me who was there but as another knock sounded I got up and opened the door. I was surprised to find a timid looking Jane there.

"Jane!" I exclaimed, rather shocked she would come here. I mean it's only been a few weeks since the coronation and she had only just been ungrounded. I would have thought she would have gone to see her friends not the person that is the reason she is grounded in the first place. "Come in." I said as I gestured her in with my hand.

Nervously she walked by me and looked around my room. As I closed the door I noticed she turned to face me. "So, what's up?" I asked. Not really understanding why she would come to see me.

"Erm... Would you be able to change my hair back?" She asked me. "I rather liked it long." Jane stated. I was honestly a little shocked. Shouting, yelling and accusing I would of expected but for her to ask me to change her hair back like I hadn't been the reason she had been grounded was just weird.

"Sure." I said, before racking my brain. I smiled when I remembered the spell I needed. "Beware, forswear, replace the old with new hair." I chanted. I flicked my finger left, right, up then down with Jane's hair following each movement until I motioned for her to lift her head up. Her hair grew longer and curled a little. I smiled as it was a little different then the first time but still suited her.

Jane moved to look in the mirror and beamed at me. "Thanks, Mal. I love it." She told me. My smile grew at this. It was my first time using my magic for something good and it felt amazing. Sure I had done other good deeds but this is the first that involved magic. She quickly hugged me and left and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face.

I closed the door and turned back back to face the centre of the room. I had every intention of finishing off my homework and such when I felt my magic flare up inside me. I tried to stop the feeling growing but before I could react I had unconsciously conjured a purple fireball in my hand. I couldn't stop the gasp as I noticed it. But no matter what I tried I couldn't get rid of it.

Before I knew what I was doing I flicked my hand, throwing the fireball onto the rug in the middle of our room effectively lighting it an fire. It was then I seemed to snap out of my trance. I ran into the adjoining bathroom and filled the bucket in there with some water before running back into the room and throwing the water on the fire.

Thankfully the water extinguished it before it could grow and set the fire alarm off. But I couldn't work out why it had happened. I really wish Ben was here. He would know what to do or what to say to calm me down. I immediately started worrying it had something to do with my mother and lowered myself to the floor as I started to cry. I didn't even notice the cloud of purple smoke gather in the room in front of me. I just buried my head in my hands and started to cry. Maybe I am turning out like my mom.

"Mal?" I heard Ben gently call to me. "Are you okay?" He asked. I honestly thought I was imagining it until I heard him take a few steps towards me. I wiped my eyes and looked up, sure enough there her was with a confused but caring expression all over his face.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him, hating the way my voice was cracking from crying. I hadn't heard the door go.

"Well I was hoping you could tell me. I was in my study working when a purple magic cloud surrounded me." He explained as he came to sit next to me. "Next thing I know I'm here and your crying." He said. What the hell was happening to my magic. I had performed the spell on Jane's hair just fine but after that it was like I had no control for a few minutes. Then I summon Ben here without realising it. What on earth!?

"I don't know what's happening with my magic, Ben." I admitted to him. I knew if I could talk to anyone without them looking at me like I was evil it would be Ben. I sat there with Ben's arms around my shoulders comfortingly, and explained what had happened. Starting with Jane's hair and ending with me crying and wishing he was here.

"I really don't know what to say Mal. Maybe it's an emotional thing?" Ben suggested and I have to admit it's possible. "I mean you have admitted yourself that you've felt a little unbalanced emotionally since my coronation. Maybe it's that." He explained. I knew it was an idea but I still couldn't shake the feeling that this had something to do with Maleficent, my mother. It just had her written all over it.

Nodding to him I let a few more tears fall down my face I didn't even care if I looked weak right now. I was honestly scared of that happening again. I mean what if I'm not alone next time and someone gets hurt. I couldn't bare to hurt someone I care about. "Give it a bit of time Mal. It'll probably die down soon." Ben told me but I wasn't convinced. Something in the back of my head told me this was going to become a major issue. "But think you could send me back to the castle?" He asked me. I chuckled a little as I nodded.

I was about to wave my hand and transport him back when he stopped me. "Just remember I'm here if you need me, okay." He said and my smile got a little bigger at this. He really did care.

"I know." I told him. "Now go do your boring king-ly stuff." I joked, casuing him to laugh as I waved my hand and sent him back to the castle. At least I hoped I'd sent him to the castle. With my magic I'm not a hundred percent sure where I had sent him. Seconds later I felt my phone vobrate in my pocket. Pulling it out I found a text from Ben.

From Ben: Safely back at castle now. Love you x

I smiled before texting back a quick 'love you too x' and placing my phone back in my pocket. Ben must have known I would worry which is sweet and a little weird. I'm not used to having someone know me so well or care enough to let me know they were safe. Knowing I had control over my magic once more hope filled my chest that maybe it would only be a temporary thing.
