Descendants Fan Fiction – Mal's Haunted Past

Mal P.O.V.

After the tour was completed, Ben had asked Evie, Jay, and Carlos to show the new VKs to their dorm rooms.

"Actually, before you all go, one of the girls should go see Fairy Godmother about finding a dorm," Ben stated nervously. I could tell that he meant Freddie, but he just didn't want to say so. "You see we only planned for two girls, not three." The three girls looked around at each other before one of them stepped forward. She surprised everyone when she did.

"I'll go," Lori stated as Amy wore a shocked expression on her face. "Which way to Fairy Godmother's office?" Ben pointed down the corridor to the left. She started walking when Scott spoke up.

"Did I just hear you correctly, are you actually volunteering to move out of your dorm so Amy and Freddie can share a room?" Scott had an incredulous look plastered on his face as she stopped in her tracks.

"Why is that so hard to believe?" Her words were a little quiet. She kept looking straight ahead and didn't even turn to look at him. I could tell that she wasn't in the mood to talk to Scott.

"It just doesn't seem like something you would do." She was quiet for a minute before she twirled around to look Scott in the eyes. I could see that they held a great deal of pain. I looked over at Evie. She had noticed it as well, but no one else seemed to. I just couldn't figure out if that pain was physical or emotional.

"Then you don't know me at all," Lori looked as if she was about to cry as Amy scoffed. Before anyone could say anything else on the matter, she quickly turned back around and speed walked down the hall.

"I guess that settles that then," Ben let out a nervous chuckle. "Well, I'll see you all later. If you have any questions you know where to find your partner, me, any of the others, or even Fairy Godmother," Ben stated as the group dispersed. I started walking with Evie, but Ben gently grabbed my hand and pulled me aside.

"Yes?" I asked, but I already knew what he was going to say.

"Why didn't you tell me that Amy was your sister? Your twin sister?" He questioned as he pulled me into a hug.

"I don't know, Ben."

"So, you lied to me when you told me that you were an only child?" He quizzed.

"I'm sorry about that. I really am. But, I was trying to protect my sister," I apologized for lying, but I didn't regret it. I knew that Ben could see that and that he understood.

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened between you two anyway?" I looked him in the eyes. I guess now is a good a time as any to tell him the truth. Maybe not the whole truth, but at least a part of it.

"We used to be really close, but we got into a big fight before I left for Auradon. I didn't try to fix things before I left, and me leaving only made the situation worse," I explained as I buried my face into his chest.

"Okay. What about Lori and Scott?" I turned my head slightly so I could talk.

"Well, they have been friends for as long as I can remember. Lori had been staying with Scott and his father after Loki had been captured and imprisoned back in Asguard. Thor thought that it would be best if she remained here in Auradon. They started dating about a year ago. I don't know why they are on bad terms now," I enlightened.

"Wow. So what's the deal with Scott's dad, Scar?" Ben inquired as I looked up at him. I must have looked confused because he continued. "Well, Lori cut me off before I could say his name and Scott growled at her for doing so. I figured she was just trying to distract me, so I didn't push the subject any further."

"Oh. Scott doesn't like to talk about his father. He gets super angry if you do. Lori was probably just trying to help. Scott was probably just annoyed at her for doing so. He considers himself to be independent." I had noticed what Lori had done, but I didn't know that Ben had noticed it too. That was one of the reasons I loved him so much. He genuinely cared for everyone, even if he didn't know them. Plus, he paid very close attention to every detail. "So what is the deal with this party?"

Ben looked down at me. "How did you find out about that?"

"I overheard Doug tell Evie about it before he took off," I stated as if it were obvious.

"How did you manage to do that?" Ben asked curiously. "I was standing right next to them and I couldn't hear anything."

"Well, you don't have super sensitive half fairy hearing like I do."

"Ah, so it's a fairy thing," Ben called out as if it were the most important revelation of the century. We shared a laugh and I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before we headed our separate ways. Ben went to Fairy Godmother's office to make sure that everything with Lori was going smoothly. I went to meet up with Evie. She was with Amy and Freddie in their dorm room. Which, coincidently, was right next to ours. I decided that I should try to apologize to Amy. It would be best if I did it now, so we could enjoy our time together and I could show her everything that I enjoyed in Auradon. On my way there, I thought about what I wanted to say to her.


Evie P.O.V.

I was sitting with Amy and Freddie in their dorm room. Mal had texted me a few minutes ago saying that she was on her way.

"So, what's going on between you and that dwarf?" Freddie asked as she tried to break the silence.

"His name is Doug, and we are really good friends," I informed as Freddie nodded along.

"Come on! You can't be serious!" Freddie scoffed as I gave her a confused look. "You like him a lot. He likes you a lot. Why aren't you two together already?!"

"Does Mal love King Ben?" Amy blurted out before I could say anything. I could tell that she had been thinking about it a lot.

I was a little surprised by the question, so it took me a minute before I actually answered it. "Of course she does. She wouldn't turn Maleficent into a lizard for just anybody," I was joking with that last statement, but the others didn't find it very funny. "Tough crowd." I mumbled under my breath.

"Does King Ben love Mal?" She continued with her questions.

"Yes, he does. He loves her very much. Why are you asking?" Before Amy could answer, there was a knock at the door. "That's probably just Mal." I got up to answer it. When I opened the door, I was surprised to see that it wasn't Mal, but Gaston Jr. My heart began to pound in my chest. I hoped that he couldn't hear it.

"What about Mal?" He asked slyly.

"She isn't here," I stated coldly.

"That's too bad, I really wanted to see her." He leaned against the door frame as he tried to be cool. It wasn't working. At least, not on me. I heard a sigh coming from behind me. I turned around and saw Amy staring at him as if he were some kind of movie star or something. I rolled my eyes. Mal was right to be worried.

"Look, Gaston Jr., if that is the only reason why you came by, then you better just go. And if you try to speak to Mal ever again, I will make sure that you regret it. Same goes to your brother. I want you both to stay away from us," I spat out before pushing him back and slamming the door in his face. I leaned up against the closed door and closed my eyes. I took a few deep breaths. My heart was racing. On the outside, I was as cool as a cucumber, but on the inside, I had been terrified. One thing that I had learned on the Isle that certainly came in handy was to never show your true emotions, especially in front of the enemy. Of course, I made a few exceptions to that rule.

"What was that about?" Freddie asked.

"Isn't he just the cutest?" Amy stated, still in some kind of trance, before I could answer Freddie. I was getting a little annoyed that she kept on cutting me off.

"Uh, Amy. Are you okay?" Freddie asked the pink haired fairy as she finally snapped back to reality.

"Yeah. I'm all good. Why do you ask?"

"Because you went all ga ga when Gaston Jr. showed up," I explained as Freddie and I shared a look. Before Amy could explain herself, there was another knock at the door. I growled.

"I swear, if it's you Gaston, I will…" I started yelling as I opened the door. "Mal!" I squealed with delight as I hugged her.

"Is everything alright, E? What's going on?" She wore a concerned look.

"Nothing I can't handle. What's going on with you?"

"I just wanted to speak with Amy," She said as she looked over my shoulder and in the direction of her twin sister.

"Well, it's going to have to wait," Amy huffed as she stood up.

"Why is that?" Mal questioned her slightly younger sister.

"Freddie and I promised our friends that we would meet up with them once we got settled," She grabbed Freddie by her arm and started to drag her towards the door. Freddie nearly fell over as she was pulled off of her chair. She tried her best to keep up with Amy, but she was still being dragged behind. We both knew that she wasn't being honest, but we chose to just let her be.

"Sorry, Mal! I guess that talk will have to wait!" Freddie called out for Amy as she was hauled down the hallway by her best friend. "Can you lock the door on your way out?"

Mal and I shrugged at each other and decided that we should meet up with the others as well. We may as well help them to finish decorating for the party. Since Mal was partnered with Freddie, she was given a spare key to their room, so she locked the door behind us. We strolled down to the ballroom to help with party planning. I was hoping that this party would go off without a hitch.
