Mal stepped forward. "I'm so –"
But Chad cut her off before she could continue. "Don't! Stay away from her!"
Mal released Ben's hand as he stepped partially in front of her and narrowed his eyes at Chad. "Don't do this, Chad."
"What? They were raised by their parents, Ben. What do you think villains teach their kids? Huh? Kindness? Fair-play? No way, okay? Uh-uh. You stole another girl's boyfriend." He addressed Mal and no one noticed her backing up slowly and run away.
"Hey! Hey!" Ben interjected, trying to somewhat protect his girlfriend.
"Oh. You enjoy hurting people." Now, he was talking to an angered Jay. "And you, you're nothing but a gold digger and a cheater." Evie didn't like being called that so much.
"Mirror, mirror, in my hand, who's the biggest jerk in the land?" she asked her mirror.
Chad swiped at her hand and dragged her down a little. "What? Come on!"
"Back off, Chad! All right? Back off!" Jay would protect his 'sister' from everyone, even a prince.
Evie sprayed some of the mist that she had gotten from Mal in Chad's face. While everyone was checking to see if he was okay, the three villain kids ran away, not even noticing that their ring leader wasn't with them.
Ben, who was equally pissed at Chad and worried about the villain kids yelled after them. He was the first to realize that Mal was missing. He spun in a circle looking for his girlfriend, but found no trace of her. He turned to his parents and King Adam made it very clear that he blamed Ben for the incident.
His 'friends' scrambled off to do whatever it was they did and he was left in the middle of the croquet field without any of his friends, family, or his girlfriend. He sighed and walked over to a picnic table and sat down. Benjamin wasn't even king yet and already he was finding it far more stressful than he'd hoped. Now, where would Mal have gone….
{Mal}
She ran. Mal didn't know where she was going, only that her feet seemed to know the way better than her mind did. Her surroundings slowly started to look familiar and she found herself at the lake. Mal scrambled her way to the other side of the lake where Ben had jumped off the rock a few days ago. She smiled at the memory before the day's events caught up with her.
Somehow, Mal found she was lying, curled at the lip of the cliff. She was only half-conscious and barely registered the fall from the cliff.
The iciness of the water woke her up real quick. She flailed her arms around in the water, but it was no use. Sometime during her height, it had started to rain, gradually picking up more and more speed. Now, it was a raging storm and she seemed to be just beside its eye – or so she assumed – it was the least calm part of the storm. Whoosh! Ping!Ping!Ping! Whoop!
Mal's head sunk below the water and hit a rock. Darkness crept over her vision. Everything was getting darker and darker and colder and colder. Everything was just...disappearing. And she accepted the darkness and the calm as if it were a gift.
[Hi, so I know that this chapter is kind of short compared to most of my other stories' chapters, but I think that is just how this story is going to be. I hope to not give up on any of my stories, but my head is just bursting with ideas that I don't exactly know how to put into words all the time. I hope you liked!]
