"Mal, you were destined to be one of us. You will never be accepted as Queen, but if you come to me, get me off this island we will rule side by side."
I jerk awake. It was just a dream but it still freaks me out a bit. When I look over, I see Evie still asleep in bed and let out a sigh of relief. I creep out of bed and out the room. I head towards the kitchen, knowing I wont be able to sleep for awhile. I jump when I see Ben there already. "What are you doing here?" I walk in and grab the cookie dough that I mixed the previous day.
"Couldn't sleep," he mumbles. "To much has happened today."
"Tell me about it. I had a nightmare, a different one then normal." I take of a bit of cookie dough and pop it into my mouth.
"What was it about?" My head starts to hurt.
"My real mom." The words she spoke in my dream start to soak in. "The people here have always been skeptical of me. Now even more so because I brought kids from the Isle here. They'll never accept me as Queen, especially when they find out I'm a villain kid." A tear slips down my face and I'm shocked. I haven't cried since I was six and skinned my knee. "My whole life has been a lie."
"I'm really sorry, Mal." A hand rests on my shoulder and I turn around to face him. "I don't really know who I am anymore. I was raised evil, but I'm supposed to be good?" He shakes his head slightly. "I'm confused too."
"Want some?" I ask, offering up a bit of cookie dough.
"What is it?" I almost laugh, but stop when I realize that the kids on the Isle most likely never got any sweets.
"It's cookie dough. It's really good, made it myself. Try some." When he puts it in his mouth his eyes light up and my face breaks out into a wide grin.
But the words continue to echo in my head. Maybe I am meant to be a villain. Maybe that's my destiny.
It's summer! I will have more time to update now, yay!
