Mal could barely look at Doug as he led her to an old run down boat that was surrounded by water. Once they were both on the boat, Doug placed iron chains on Mal's wrists, She seethed in pain for Iron burns fairies. She glared at the boy whom Evie had fallen in love with "Doug, why are you doing this, what about Evie!" A chuckle was heard from behind her and it sent a chill up her spine, her eyes flashing green and her teeth clenched.

"Evil Queen…"

"The one and only Mal, and please Evil Queen is so… Evil.. please call me Grimhilde"

"Like I would ever call you anything, I thought I destroyed you." Mal growled "and what have you done to Doug."

Grimhilde chuckled and walked in front of the purple haired fairy "Patience Child, soon everything will be answered. But for now you will stay shackled so that you cannot use any of your magic or escape."

"I want to know your plan! Tell Me NOW!" Mal yelled as the iron around her wrists burned her skin. "You are nothing but an old ugly witch!" Mal fell backwards as Grimhilde slapped her hard across the face before grabbing her by the hair and dragging her over to a chair. She placed the girl in the chair and tied her feet and wrists to it, snapping her fingers the chair immediately flew into the air suspended by a chain. Mal's eyes shot wide open when she realized which way the chair was headed, she struggled with all her might but each time she did the iron burned her skin even more. Mal screamed as the chair and her were placed into the water, her mind panicked as she was dunked into the cold murky water. Her head went under the water where she was held for what seemed like forever, She could feel her lungs wanting to burst as she ran out of air. She was sure she was going to drown until the chair was pulled out and slammed onto the cold wooden floor of the boat, Mal coughed and gasped for air while Grimhilde stood there with a smirk upon her face "say something insulting again my dear, and the consequences will not be pretty." She snapped her fingers again and suddenly the haze in Doug's eyes dispersed causing him to fall to the ground.

Grimhilde walked out of the room locking the door behind her with a smirk on her face, Doug opened his eyes and saw Mal chained up and panicked.

"oh my god Mal!"

"Get the hell away from me! You did this and after everything Evie did for you!" Mal screamed pushing herself away as she coughed up water.

"Mal, you don't understand..I wasn't myself the woman thought she could get to Evie through me but I wouldn't help. Mal, I'm sorry please you have got to believe me!" Doug looked around grabbing a key that had fallen on the ground and unlocked the shackles on Mal but keeping her feet bound. Mal looked at her wrists which were raw and red and looked back up at Doug,

"What is she planning…"

"I honestly don't know, she just had sent me to get you against my will."

Mal nodded and sighed "then we need to keep up the act."

"Wait, what?"

"I need to protect my friend, and so I need to keep fighting against this evil witch if it means protecting Evie."

"But Mal, all she wants is Evie.. you can't possibly keep fighting forever!"

"I sure as hell have to try Doug, and in the meantime you need to keep acting like her minion. Do as she says and everything will be alright, I swear." Mal said hugging the boy tightly "now get lost!" she said winking, as Doug put the iron shackles back on her he winced at the scream that emitted from Mal's mouth.

A few hours later the door was unlocked and Grimhilde came walking in with a huge grin on her face. She pulled out a mirror from behind her back and walked over to Mal "Mirror Mirror in my hand, where is my daughter in the land." a Blue haze appeared before showing Evie, she was sitting at the table with Snow and was picking at her food.

"Evie, you must eat. You haven't eaten in days."

"I'm not hungry…"

"well at least try to-"

"I said I'm not Hungry! Get off my back already!" Evie yelled throwing her plate against the wall and storming upstairs.

Mal looked away from the mirror, her best friend's anger broke her heart as she cleared her throat as to not cry.

"It would appear my little girl is quite angry, it is only a matter of time before she becomes angry enough to destroy Auradon."

"Evie will never do that you crazy old witch!" Mal shouted loudly.

Grimhilde glared at the girl and forced her to finish watching the scene unfold before their eyes.

Evie sat alone on her bed, her fists clenched as tears ran down her cheeks. The room was dimly lit as Evie held something tightly in her hand, Grimhilde commanded her mirror zoom in closer and as it did Mal gasped as Evie crumpled the photo from the holiday Ball.

"Whatever your doing to her stop it, do whatever you want to me just leave her alone"

"Oh dear child, I am not doing anything to her. My magic cannot reach her as she is protected by Snow White. Grimhilde said mockingly as she scrunched her nose, Mal shook her head and kept watching her best friend. The door to Evie's room opened slightly and soon Ben,Carlos and Jay were there all three of the boys walked over to her and sat down.

"Evie, we are going to find them." Ben said hugging Evie closely

"Yea, E.. Snow and Aurora and FG are doing everything they can."

"Well they aren't doing enough!" Evie yelled tossing the crumpled photo to the floor, her dazzling brown eyes were now dead as she turned off any emotion she had. Her heart was shattered and nothing was going to fix it until her boyfriend and best friend were back home safely.

"You should go, I want to be alone… Unless you boys have anything of value to say." Evie said coldly.

The boys looked at one another and then at Evie with sad eyes, Ben placed a hand on Evie's knee

"Evie, we aren't going anywhere.. please stop pushing us away. We all care about Mal and Doug and we want them safe." Ben explained calmly

"Why don't we go look for Mal and Doug ourselves." Jay chimed in.

Evie looked at her friends as tears welled up in her eyes once again, " are going to help?"

"Thats what friends do Evie, they help each other and in times of need friends are there for you when you need them the most. And right now, our friend needs us to help her get her boyfriend and best friend back. We aren't going anywhere." Ben said smiling as Evie launched herself into his arms sobbing "thank you." she whispered.

The image in the mirror faded as Grimhilde smirked evilly, "well, it would appear we ave quite the problem.." she chuckled and turned to Mal kneeling in front of her face "your friends seem to think they are here to rescue you, but instead they are bringing my daughter right to me!"

"They are not bringing Evie to you, they are helping rescue Doug and I!" Mal barked, "you think your winning but once these shackles are off of me, you are going to wish you were never born!" Grimhilde merely stood up and looked over at the three people who had just walked in, "You know what you must do." The three bowed and walked away quickly as Mal stood still she had to keep fighting, but for how long until Evie was safe… Grimhilde grabbed Mal's shackles causing her to wince as she was thrown back in the room she was in before. "As long as it takes…. For Evie." she whispered to herself, she just had to find a way out of these shackles.
