Four year old Mal was standing on a stool, scribbling on the walls, while hearing her mother screaming. She was a little frightened, but she mostly shrugged it off. Her mother would scream at people in a daily basis. However, she hadn't screamed that loud since her father had been around. She snapped her neck to the door when she heard another sound: a baby crying. Her mother had a baby in the house for some reason. Mal hopped off of the stool and pulled on it with all of her might, but the cries were already fading by the time she reached the door. Then, the door opened, revealing the Evil Queen.
"Well, well, well, looks like somebody's being nosy," the Evil Queen said. "Your mother would probably want to see you now." The Evil Queen led Mal to her mother's bedroom. Given the fact that where the Maleficent herself was sitting upright on the bed.
Mal climbed up onto her mother's bed. "Mommy! Why was there a baby crying, did you curse it?"
Maleficent smiled. For a moment she was proud of her daughter, hoping that one day, she would become evil like her. For a moment. "No Mal, I can't curse anyone on this dreaded Isle. It was just a baby some mortal dropped off on our doorstep. But it won't be bothering us again. "
I know that I've been trying to announce my upcoming stories, but this time I thought it might be nice to surprise you. This story will be an AU, but it will follow the Canon up to Descendants 2, so Under the Sea, the upcoming book, Escape from the Isle of the Lost, and Descendants 3 won't be included.
