prompt- davina gets her powers but doesn't know how to control them
Growing up, Davina showed no sign of getting powers. Her eyes never flashed green and she never asked her parents about spells or potions. That was a relief to Mal, who wanted her child to have no ties to Malificient. However, that all changed when Davina was thirteen.
She was at school, walking down the halls to her next class with Kennedy. The two were talking about a new movie and everything was normal. Until Cassie opened her big mouth. Cassie was the school bully and made it her life goal to torment Kennedy and Davina. For the most part, the two girls were able to ignore her. But today, Cassie took it too far.
"Look who it is. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum," Cassie said, blocking Kennedy and Davina's path with her group of minions.
"Get out of the way Cassie," Davina said, rolling her eyes.
"Why would I listen to you Davina? You're just a little spoiled brat," Cassie said, trying to sound intimidating.
"Please, Davina has more class in her pinkie then you have in your whole body," Kennedy said.
"Really Ken? We all know you'll never be as smart as your parents," Cassie said, causing Kennedy to flinch.
"Hey, not cool," Davina said, taking a step forward.
"Woah, watch out guys. Davina's channeling her grandma. I still don't know why they allow you two to attend here. Who knows? Maybe you'll betray us and kill us. After all, evil is in your DNA," Cassie said with a smirk on her face. That struck a nerve in Davina. She knew who her grandmother was, but she hated talking about her. She knew her mom wasn't bad but she hated when people brought it up.
Davina didn't know what happened next. She could feel all the anger building up inside of her and she couldn't keep it inside. Cassie deserved to pay for that. She felt her eyes burn and her hand rising up from the side of her body. The next thing she knew, Cassie was flying across the hall and banging into some lockers. The kids around them gasped in shock and backed away in terror.
"You little witch!" Cassie shouted, but Davina barely heard her. She barely recognized anything. Her powers were taking full control of her and she didn't know how to stop them.
"Your the witch here Cassandra. You act like you own these halls but guess what, you don't! If you mess with anyone again, I'll make sure you feel more pain than just being slammed into lockers," Davina threatened, her voice deeper then usual. Fire began to brew in her hands and Cassie looked petrified. Then, it all went away. It's like Davina stepped out of a trance. The fire vanished, but her eyes still burned. She looked around and saw the destruction she caused.
"D, you alright?" Kennedy asked, walking up and putting her hand on Davina's shoulder. Davina shook it off and backed two feet away.
"Don't come near me," she said, scared of what she could do to her friend. She looked at Cassie and said "I'm so sorry." That's the last thing she said before Davina fled the school.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"What happened to her? Why is there a problem?" Mal questioned as her and Ben walked into the school. The principal had called the two of them and told them that there was a problem with Davina at school and they were needed immediatly.
"I'm sure we'll find out in a minute Mal," Ben said, acting calm on the outside. On the inside, he was in full out panic mode as well. When the two entered the main office, they spotted Evie and Doug comforting a crying Kennedy. That didn't help their nerves.
"Mr. and Mrs. Adams, thank goodness your here. We have a problem," the principal said, motioning for the two to sit down. She showed them the tape of what happened in the hallway. "We heard the crash and when we arrived, Davina was gone. We talked to Kennedy and she told us that Cassie was being rude to them. She said something insulting and then Davina entered some trance of sorts. She wasn't herself and she sent Cassie across the room and then threatened her. Kennedy told us that she tried to approach her but Davina was terrified of hurting someone else so she ran. Do you have any idea what could have caused this outburst?"
"Oh no, her powers must have come in. When someone gets there powers, they usually have a burst of power right away. They can't control it and one emotion usually controls it. They can't control their actions and when they snap out of it, they still have minimal control over the powers," Ben said, having done some research after Davina was born so he could be ready for this day.
"We have to find her Ben," Mal said, looking at Ben with worry. She hadn't gone through a power burst but she had heard of them. She knew how Davina must feel at that moment though. She felt scared, afraid of herself. She felt like a monster and that thought broke Mal's heart.
"Please do. And have her take a few days off to get her powers under control. There will be no consequences for what's occurred today," the principal said, leading the two out. The couple practically ran to their car.
"Alright, where would she go?" Ben asked as he pulled the car out of the parking lot.
"She wouldn't go back to the palace. She must think she's some monster so she wouldn't go near a whole lot of people," Mal said, tears forming in her eyes at the thought of her daughter being afraid of her own shadow.
"I think I know where she might go," Ben said, taking a sudden right turn. After driving for a few minutes, Mal knew where they were. They were going to the stone gazebo at the Enchanted Lake. The family had claimed it as their own secret spot and Davina always went there if she wanted some quiet time. If she would be anywhere, that would be the spot. When the two arrived, they sat in the car for a minute, thinking of what to say.
"I don't know what to say to her," Mal whispered as the two sat in silence.
"We'll figure it out, we're her parents. We know her better than anyone," Ben said, taking Mal's hand in his. When they first found out they were pregnant, Mal was worried. She wasn't sure if she could be a mom and Ben told her that they'd figure it out as they go. They're still doing that now. The two got out of the car, walking towards the stone gazebo. As they grew closer, they could hear someone crying.
Davina sat on the edge of the gazebo, holding her head in her hands. Tears were streaming down her face and ugly sobs were being released from her mouth. She couldn't believe what had just happened. She was so mad at Cassie and then the red took over. She knew what she was doing but she couldn't stop it. Davina couldn't believe she'd hurt someone.
"Davina?" Mal said as her and Ben approached their daughter. Davina turned and saw her parents walking towards her. When Davina had originally fled the school, she didn't want to see anyone she cared about in fear of hurting them. But when she saw her parents, the fear of hurting them was overpowered with the need for her parents love and guidance.
"Mom," Davina said, wrapping her arms around her mother when she reached her. "I'm s-so sorry about t-today. I d-don't know w-what happened."
"It's alright, we'll figure it out," Mal said, holding her daughter as Ben held Davina on the other side. They'd figure it out. Together.
I hope you guys liked that. The ending isn't my favorite thing but I hope it wasn't too bad. I'll hopefully have another update soon. Next time, it's a father daughter dance.
