To say Mal was confused would be an understatement. Here she was in Castle Beauty with Belle, sat opposite Queen Leah and Princess Aurora. The purplette would have preferred to have Ben there with her but since he was away with Adam in Arrendelle she had asked Belle to come with her. "So..." Mal started, confused as to why she had been asked to come. "I don't mean to sound rude but may I ask why you invited me today?" The purplette asked the two royals opposite her.

"I simply wanted to get to know you a little better." Queen Leah told the purplette. Mal and Belle shared a shocked look with each other at this, neither had been expecting that. "I realized that I may have misjudged you because of what has happened in the past with your mother. I would like to get to know you for you, not by the reputation of your mother." The older woman said. "So what kind of hobbies do you have?"

Mal was skeptical but chose to humour the older woman, picking up her tea and taking a sip before answering the womans question. "Painting and reading mostly. I love a good book." The teen said and noticed Aurora smiling.

"I can see why you get along so well with Belle here." Aurora said, sharing a smile with Belle as she did. Mal couldn't help but smile a little shyly. She was sure there was some kind of ulterior motive behind this meeting but she was going to stick it out.

The afternoon passed by in much the same kind of way. Leah and Aurora would ask the teen questions and Mal would answer them best she could. Thankfully the conversation had stayed away from both Maleficent and the Isle of the Lost, for that Mal was extremely happy. She hated talking about those topics and only ever answered Ben's questions about it. The purplette hated the pity that she saw in others eyes when she spoke about the Isle or her childhood. So she just simply never spoke about it.

The teen was brought from her thoughts as she heard Belle clear her throat. "I'm afraid we need to leave now." She told Leah and Aurora, which made Mal feel quite a bit of relief. She'd had seven cups of tea during the afternoon and just wanted to curl up with a good book. "Myself and Mal had an appointment that we need to attend and we will be late if we don't leave now I'm afraid." she explained and Mal stood up next to Belle.

As the four said their goodbyes Mal couldn't help but shiver at the smile Leah gave to her. It reminded Mal of her mothers smirk she gave people on the Isle. It was very unsettling for the teen. But she brushed it off as she slowly followed Belle out of the castle and towards the limo but as they neared the car Mal had to grab Belle's arm. She went incredibly dizzy, to the point she almost fell over.

"You okay Mal?" The brunette mother asked. The purple haired half fairy nodded to the older woman but both of them knew it was a lie. Belle helped Mal into the car and them slipped in after her, noticing Mal was almost immediately asleep.

Belle kept glancing over at the slumbering teen as they headed back to Auradon, concern lacing her features. Concern which only grew as she noticed sweat gathering on the purplette's forehead. Checking the teens head Belle noticed she had a high temperature but also that her breathing was very shallow. On instinct the brunette checked Mal's pulse and found it was very faint, almost non-existant. "Go to the hospital." Belle ordered the driver, who simply nodded. "Mal, honey. Wake up." She said as she shook the teen. But Mal didn't stir, she didn't even flinch. As the brunette mother felt the car pick up speed she just prayed they got to the hospital in time. She didn't know what was wrong with Mal but she did know that it was serious.
