Mal's POV
I stay sobbing in Ben's arms for what it seems like hours before I eventually allow him to pull me into his arms and carry me back to our bedroom where we lie on the bed together. I try to quieten down, I cannot allow Emma to see me like this. She'll know something's up and I cannot let her find out… Even though with how things are going I am sure they'll find out soon enough.
"They were dead. I was sure they were dead Ben." I whisper when I've finally found the words to speak. "You always said you had a bad feeling about it. I should've listened to you Mal. I am so so sorry." Ben whispers quietly. "No it's fine. I thought I was just being paranoid." I whimper. "Do you think it was your mother? She double crossed you maybe?" Ben asks gently. "Probably. I don't know! I saw the building go up in flames Ben. They were supposed to die in that building! The future we saw was stopped." I groan. "That future still may never happen." Ben attempts to comfort me. "Ben we built the future. By trying to prevent it we made it and we're going to drive Emma into the arms of Captain Hook's son and lose Caffrey to darkness!" I weep. "Mal, Mal. Emma wouldn't do anything like that. You know she has no interest in dating. However when the day comes…" Ben growls beastly. "You'd be the over protective father?" I smirk through my tears. "No one hurts my little girl." Ben snaps. "Can't we put a stop to all this?" I whisper. "It would look to suspicious and its Caffrey's decision. Only he can take back his decision, we may have been able to do something but Caffrey decided to get things organised properly and now they are probably planning their arrival." Ben reminds me. I groan and bury my face deep into him. "They are going to want revenge." I whisper. "You don't know that…"
"Yes I do! Caffrey didn't know who they're parents were. Captain Hook and Hades must have died in that house fire, probably his wife as well." I babble. Yet before Ben can say anything a loud resounding thud lands on our balcony.
"What the hell was that!" Ben is the first to react, grabbing his sword from the wardrobe, whilst I summon my magic as we both step carefully onto the balcony...
"Diaval!" I cry as he makes his appearance. "Mal, Ben. How lovely to see you both again. Is everything alright. I thought you were in distress." He looks to me worriedly. "Sixteen years. Sixteen years and nothing! Who the hell are you really!" I snap, a little harsher than I had intended. "You can trust me Mal. I promise." He says quietly. "How can I trust someone I don't even know?" I reply. "It's not important who I am right now. What's more important is what I've witnessed and I don't know of your going to believe me. The son of Captain Hook is still alive as is the daughter of Hades."
"Yeah we know." Ben cuts him off. "I only put the pieces together when the school on the Isle went up in flames." Diaval informs us. "Ohh god Ben!" I bury my face into him. "It's ok. They, they wouldn't try anything like that here." He strokes my hair gently. "What's wrong?" Diaval asks us both. I look up to Ben who sighs as we prepare to tell the tale from the beginning.
Medea's POV
Killian, Joe, Elena and I could only laugh as we watched the school go up in flames, however we were not laughing the next day when they realised it was the work of Madam Mim's potions which immediately pointed them in our direction. However we were also commended for what we did and it has been one of the wickedest accomplishments yet since the main troublemakers left. The villains turned heroes, who are not as heroic as they'd like to think! I think to myself, thinking of what happened with Killian and I, yet I know that one day soon I will get my revenge and I'll destroy Auradon.
"Seems as if we have a couple of months of school." Elena laughs, tossing her ginger hair to the side. "Brilliant." Joe murmurs, leaning back against me. I look across at Killian who is looking off into the distance. "Earth to Killian. Earth to, ohh for gods sake!" I toss a rock at him. "Bloody hell Medea!" He looks at me with frustration. "We should have another party." Joe suggests. "NO!" We all yell, still not entirely over the last one. "Next week maybe." Elena sighs. "Next year more likely." Killian mutters. "Should we go and do something?" Joe asks curiously. "Like what?" I look down at him. "Make yourselves present in the castle immediately." Says Maleficent from behind us.
The four of us run back to the castle, seeing who can get their fastest of course. Killian's in the lead. Killian's always in the lead and I'm closely following. I have mixed feelings for Maleficent. I hate her because she set the fire and killed my father but she did save us and has been our guardian ever since and taught me magic and how to control it as Maleficent doesn't have any magic as it was taken from her by her daughter, the person I really hate and want dead. The Queen Of Auradon. Killian and I both seek her death and would be quite satisfied if we took her husband The King Of Auradon down with her.
We all assemble in the throne room to hear what Maleficent has to say. Killian sits down on the steps as Elena's mother The Wicked Witch Of The West and Joe's mother Madam Mim enter the room. "You stupid worthless boy. You are not worthy of magic you little swine." Madam Mim cackles whilst slapping Joe across the face. "I thought it was brilliantly wicked of you." The Wicked Witch Of The West smiles in our defence, whilst combing out her daughters hair. "Wicked always wins remember." She smirks. Maleficent moves into the centre of the room. She has changed a lot from sixteen years ago. With having no magic, long blonde hair has grown down through her horns and she always uses a stick to walk with. It's really me and The Wicked Witch Of The West who have all the power around here, magically anyway. The most influential person here would probably be Killian as everyone loves Killian. I love him to as he's practically my brother and to be honest the only family I truly have.
Maleficent stands in the middle of the room, brandishing a scroll.
"By orders straight from Prince Caffrey Of Auradon. The daughter of The Wicked Witch Of The West, the son of Madam Mim, Medea and Killian are here by accepted into the school of Auradon Prep. You will be departing in four weeks." She smiles at us all and all hell breaks lose. "What the bloody hell? I didn't blow up the school here for no reason you know. I am not going to Auradon bloody Prep. I'm eighteen, almost nineteen I finish school in like nine months!" Killian yells angrily. "Not to stir things up but the level we teach at here is what they are learning when they are sixteen. When you go you will have to go with the younger ones." The Wicked Witch Of The West informs me. "Kill me now. Just kill me now." Killian slams his hook into the banister. "Kill me with you." Joe pleads. I say nothing and just fold my arms as Elena starts to complain with the others. "SILENCE!" Madam Mim yells. "Killian, Medea. I would like a word." Maleficent smiles at us both. Killian glowers at her but follows me across anyway. "I am not going to the place where the woman who helped cause the death of my father and mother are." Killian snarls. Maleficent smiles. "Ohh but Killian that's exactly why you should go. I am relying on you pair now. I have a plan that I've been working on for the last sixteen years. Wanna hear it?"
Elena and Joe join us as Maleficent lays out her plan. "I would not send you there if it were not necessary as I lost my daughter last time something like this happened and you all know what she went on to do and become. Well as you also know they had two children. Caffrey and I forgot the other one's name."
"Yeah we know! Killian and Medea nearly died because of them!" Joe snarls in our defence. "Well the reason behind why me and Mal did what we did was because of one thing. Darkness. She witnessed a future where her two children were engulfed by darkness. You are going to make that vision come true. Killian, I would like you to lead the four of you. Find the daughter and work with her. Medea, you focus on the son. His magic is out of control. Teach him a few tricks." Maleficent smiles and Killian and I. "I am still not bloody going!" Killian snarls. "Killian we have to." I sigh. "Medea." Joe groans. "No we do. We've been wanting our revenge for sixteen years. We are not going to let the opportunity go to waste. We're in, even Killian and Joe." I look at them both. "I'm gonna get a drink." Joe mutters. "Take me with you!" Killian follows him out. Maleficent coils her arm around my waist. "You're what my daughter should have been. She failed me Medea but you are powerful, evil like me in so many ways and I know you won't mess it up." She smiles at me. "I won't let you down Maleficent. Auradon better look out as their little world is about to come crashing down."
Emma's POV
Four weeks later it is almost the day the villain kids will be arriving. Tomorrow in fact. I will go down with my brother and his crowd as that is what is expected of me but I doubt I'll be allowed to say much, I never am. The only good thing that's happened in the last four weeks is that Liv and Caffrey broke up. I wasn't surprised as they do this ever so often and get back together after a few months but I am a little pleased as my brother, as mean as he can be, can do better than Liv. I just know it.
After quite a stressful school day from which I left in tears from the comments made by the students and own brother I head to fore fill my duties I set myself. I've been doing work in the Auradon hospitals every week on alternate days, the others days I go to the orphanage, which is where I am off to right now.
"Princess Emma!" All the little kids squeal as I enter the building, all scrambling to get to me. I hug as many as I can. At least these kids love me. None of them hate me, In fact they love me and I love them. I love what I do here as it makes me feel good about myself. Today we are painting and I set everything out for them and walk around, talking to each one individually, commenting on their brilliant artwork. One little girl, one of my favourites. Zara immediately calls me over. I kneel down so I am at her height. "Wow, that's amazing, what is it meant to be?" I ask gently. "You and me, your happy." She explains. "I'm always happy." I smile sadly. "Your always crying." She sighs. "Well sometimes being a princess can be difficult. It's hard work to be a princess." I whisper, she wraps her arms around my neck, tightly. "I wish I could make all your tears go away." She whispers back. "You do already. You all do." I say honestly as the others move away from from their paintings, hugging me also. This is my absolute favourite place to be in the world as it gives me hope that I can be happy, despite that no one seems to like me out of here and I wish that one day people will accept me and maybe I could become the queen and that I'll find one person who I can trust and love completely, even though I know that all this is an impossibility and only in my dreams.
