Chapter 9
Isla's POV
It was finally Coronation Day. The whole group was feeling the pressure. If we fail our parents will never forgive us. Evie had put her heart and soul into our outfits, you could really tell they were beautiful. My dress, was a strapless purple mermaid tail with black lace running over it. There was a black bow wrapped around my waist. Thankfully Evie had let have my hair down and it well covered the scar on my back, though she did insist that I let her make it wavy. Since it was a special occasion I let Evie put a little bit of makeup on me. I had to admit I looked pretty. Mal was stressing out. I mean she was going to be in the front row and as Ben's girlfriend all eyes would be on her.
When Ben came to pick her up his jaw hit the floor and we couldn't fault him she looked beautiful. Mal left with Ben to await the carriages, not forgetting to bring the anti-love potion. Evie and I waited for Jay and Carlos', who finally asked Evie out she of course said yes, to come pick us up. When they did they had pretty similar reactions to Ben's.
"My lady." Jay says, taking my hand softly kissing the back of it. "You look gorgeous Seashell."
"And you look very handsome, My Jay." I tell him possessively. Jay laughs slightly before leaning down to capture my lips.
"Ahem." Evie coughed from next to Carlos. Looking up we both saw them looking at us with amused expressions. "I hate to kill the mood but we do need to get going. We don't want to miss the carriages."
I pouted a little before nodding. We left the room and made it to where the carriages were going to be picking the school up. Ben and Mal were already so far ahead of us because as future King everyone wanted a glimpse of him.
The carriages held for at a time which was good for us. But then again I don't think any of the other kids would willingly get in a carriage with us, especially after me de-spelling Jane's hair.
"Jay." I whisper into his ear. "I'm scared. I don't want to do this anymore." I admit to him silently.
"I know. I don't want to either but we have to. You know what'll happen to us if we don't." Jay whispered back. "I promise no matter what, no matter how hard our parent's try to pull us apart I will always be by your side." Jay vowed clutching my hand tightly.
"Anywhere, anytime, count me in." I recite gripping his hand back just as hard.
"I love you." We say and lean closer to each other, pulling warmth and comfort from the other. I look across the carriage and notice Carlos and Evie in a similar position. I don't think Jay and I are the only ones who don't want to do this anymore.
Before long we reach the castle grounds. Jay and Carlos hop out first and hold hands out for Evie and me. Stepping out of the carriages we were ushered into the building by a man in a yellow suit. They guided us to the balcony where the rest of school and a few others were waiting. Evie spotted Mal before the rest of us did. She looked nervous but at the same time there was look of minor relief in her eyes. I wonder what that's about. Before long the choir started to sing. It sounded like they were trying to open the gates of heaven. The two heavy doors on the other side of the hall opened loudly revealing Ben in his usual royal blue suit. There was something different about Ben. It was almost as if he was… glowing.
He was looking straight ahead not looking at anyone, well no-one but Mal who he winked at.
"Dear people, we are gathered here today to witness the coronation of the new King." The Fairy Godmother's voice echoed throughout the whole hall.
Mal looked up at us again and appeared to be looking over each of us. Evie made a subtle grabbing motion but it was clear from the look on her face that she didn't want to do this.
Mal nodded slightly before facing the front again. Just in time to see Ben wearing his father's crown.
The Fairy Godmother raised her wand, but before Mal could do anything, a hand shot out and snatched the wand from Fairy Godmothers grasp. Lightning flashed and green bolts were shooting out everywhere.
Jane had done it. She had stolen her mother's wand.
Everyone backed away from her, screaming in fear and some in outrage. All except Mal, who stared at the girl in absolute shock.
"Child what are you doing?!" Fairy Godmother called out to her only child in horror.
"If you won't make me pretty I'll do it myself!" She screeched out struggling to gain control of the wand. "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!" Jane tried, but the wand wouldn't submit to its new holder.
Mal shot forward and reached for the wand.
"Be careful Mal!" Belle called out to her son's new girlfriend.
Jane fought Mal for control of the wand before letting go and staring at it with a horrified expression. Evie gave us the signal that it was time. Running down from the balcony we saw Mal holding the wand with a defensive expression.
"I said stay back Ben!" She yelled at him as he tried to take the wand from her. His eyes widened before he backed up slowly.
"I told you!" Audrey cried from her spot with a smug expression, causing Mal to round on her and Audrey to shrink back in fear of the purple haired fairie.
"Let's go, Mal." Carlos urged.
"Revenge time." Jay reminded her. Mal turned her head to look but never moved the wand from where it was pointing..
"Mal, you don't have to do this." Ben called.
"Ben you have no idea." Mal pleaded. "Our parents-"
"Made their choice. You don't have to do this." Ben reminded her.
Mal took a deep shuddering breath. "I think I want to be good."
"You are good." Ben told her stepping forward.
"How do you know that?!" Mal yells raising the wand again.
"Because I'm listening to my heart." Ben says softly, he never backed away.
"I want to listen to my heart too." Mal says after short silence. Relief floods through me. Is this it?
Mal turns to us wand in one hand. "And my heart is telling me we are not our parents." She turns to look at Jay. "I mean, stealing doesn't make you happy. Tourney and victory pizza with the team does. And Isla makes you really happy." Jay smiles and wraps an arm around my waist.
She turns to look at Carlos, "And you, rubbing Dude's belly makes you happy. Who would have guessed?" Mal giggled before looking at Evie tears filling both their eyes.
"Evie you do not have to play dumb to get a guy. You are so smart and we both know Carlos likes you just like you are." She tells her and Evie gives a watery laugh.
Mal turned to look at me last. " Isla, you were not born for the Isle. You've never been more happy than you are here. You have your family right here." Mal says and I smile and feel tears well in my eyes.
" I don't want to take over the world with evil. I want to go to school and be with Ben." She says before turning to face him. "Because Ben makes me really happy." Mal lifts her hand and turns back to us showing us a gold ring. "Us being friends makes me really happy. I choose good you guys." Mal says putting her fist out. For a second nothing happens and her face falls.
"I choose good." Jay says hitting her fist with his own.
"I choose good." I say a split second after and my fist joins their's.
"Good." Evie says. Her fist joins the mix.
"So just to be clear, we don't have to be worried about how mad our parents are gonna be?" Carlos asked and we all laughed. It wasn't funny at all but in a way it was. " 'Cause they're gonna be really mad."
"Your parents can't reach you here." Ben said with a smile.
"Okay then," Carlos said with a smile and his fist joined the circle. "Good."
Mal urged Ben over and the second his fist completed the circle, thunder crashed. Green smoke filled the room and tentacles emerged from the hole in the ceiling. The smoke cleared revealing Maleficent with an evil smirk and the figure emerged with the rest of the tentacles. It was my mother.
"We're back!" Maleficent called with a cackle.
"Go away you two." Mal said with annoyance.
"You're funny." Maleficent cackled but the effect was ruined by her snorting. "Isn't she funny Ursy? Here wand me. Chop chop." The Mistress of Evil commanded her daughter.
Mal looked like she was about to hand her the wand but then she threw it to Fairy Godmother. "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-"
"Boo!" Maleficent mocked and raised her scepter freezing everyone but us.
"Psych." Maleficent and mother cackled. My Mother walked up to the former King Beast "Oh in another time."she said looking him up and down. Maleficent strolled up to Fairy Godmother and snatched the wand out of her hand. "Oh someone needs to trim their nose hairs." She said childishly.
"Where shall we begin Ursy?" Maleficent asked. Mother pondered for a second, "Some jewelry needs to be removed I believe."
"Oh yes good idea." She said before waving the wand and Mal's ring flew onto the wand. "Perfect fit." She moved under Fairy Godmother's arms.
"Falling in love is weak." Maleficent said knocking Ben's crown askew.
"And ridiculous. It's not what you want." Mother said looking at Jay and me disapprovingly. I glare at her and stand in front of Jay slightly, ignoring his attempts to move me back.
"How would you know what I want?" I snarl at her.
"Mom have you every asked me what I want? I'm not you." Mal cried.
"Well obviously I've had many, many years of practice. You'll get there." Maleficent said waving her hand.
"No I will not." Mal denied. "And I really wish you never went there yourself."
"Love is not weak or ridiculous. It's really amazing." I say joining Mal as a united front.
"I think we know one thing for sure. You children have no room for love in your lives." Maleficent snapped pointing the wand at us. Mal looked at me and I knew what she meant.
"And now we command wand to our hands." We chanted together. Immediately I could feel the struggle of magic but Mal and my magic was stronger and the wand flew into our outstretched hands.
"It worked!" I gasped.
"I hardly think so." Mother said walking over to Maleficent. "Quite frankly I find all this tedious and very immature."
"Give me the wand. Give me the wand!" Maleficent cried out, quite childishly.
"Hold on guys." Carlos spoke up. "Maybe good really is more powerful than evil."
"Oh please as if." Mother cackled.
"It already defeated you once didn't it." I snap at her.
Maleficent raise her staff bu then Carlos sent Dude to her and he attacked The Mistress of Evil. "Oh dog breath. Get off of me." She cried dropping him to the floor. Jay ran up to Maleficent and tried to pull her scepter but she held strong. She smirked and stroked his arm. "Gaston should be jealous." She said before knocking him down to the floor.
"Enough!" Maleficent shrieked and before any of could help Jay green smoke once again surrounded her. Mother's tentacles started to flicker. When the smoke cleared Maleficent was gone and in her place was a dragon. She stared at Jay and began blasting at him with her fire.
"Jay run!" I shouted at him and he did but Maleficant flew in front of him and blocked him. I ran over to help him but mother's tentecales blocked my path.
"It's just us now girly. I told you what would happen next time I saw you. But first I want my necklace back." Mother cackled flicking out her tentacles which I managed to dodge.
"Never! You won't have any use for it back on the Isle!" I shout at her while dodging her tentacles which are coming with more rage.
"You dare defy your mother!?" She shrieks and one latches onto my ribs and starts squeezing.
"No I defy Ursula! My mother is dead!" I yell at her and she screams in rage. She squeezing tighter now I can't feel my lungs. I was struggling as hard as I could but it was almost futile.
"Evil's power is good as none when stands before five hearts as one!" I hear Mal's voice from across the hall.
"Evil's power is good as none when stands before five hearts as one" I chant with the others.
"You will pay for this! Twenty-four pain filled hours. Here I call upon my powers!" Ursula screams and suddenly I can breath. Falling to the ground, I suck in lungfuls of air.
"Isla!" Jay calls running over to help me stand up.
"Where are they?" I ask gasping.
"Look." Mal says pointing and I see a tiny purple thing. It looked like a lizard. looking down at my feet I see a tiny sea slug.
"What did we do?" I ask, just as Fairy Godmother unfreezes and walks over.
"No,no. Your mother's did that." She said approaching the slug and the lizard. "They shrank down to the amount of love they had in their hearts. That's why their so itty bitty." Hah knew she had no love.
"Are they gonna be like that forever?" Mal asked.
"Well forever is a long time. But you all learned to love. So could they."
"I believe this belongs to you." Mal says handing Fairy Godmother her wand back.
"And I believe this," Fairy Godmother said before giving Mal back her ring. "Belongs to you." She stood smiling. "You have all earned yourself an 'A' in goodness class." She said and we all cheered. "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo." Fairy Godmother said waving her hands and everything unfroze.
Ben let out a mighty roar and rushed over to where we stood, only to be stopped by Mal who placed her hands on his chest. "Hey it's okay. We kinda got this all wrapped up." Mal said and Ben smiled before pulling her close.
Ben sighed and looked around. "Next time I save you, okay?"
"There isn't gonna be a next time." Mal said before she moved Ben's crown so it sat crooked. Looking around I noticed Fairy Godmother reprimanding Jane.
"Mal." I say and point slightly to the two of them. Mal followed where I was look and nodded. Turning to Ben. "I'll be right back."
"I love you, but you are on a major time out." Fairy Godmother said as we approached.
"Don't be too hard on Jane." I say to the headmistress.
"Yeah, we were the ones to put all that crazy stuff in her head. But it was mostly my idea." Mal admitted. "You are beautiful." She adds turning to Jane.
"Inside and out." I tell her with a smile. "Your mom got that right."
"I guess I did get pretty lucky in the mother department." Jane said with a smile.
"You really did."
Fairy Godmother led her daughter away and Audrey approached Mal. The two shared a long look before Audrey gave a small curtsy which Mal returned. I looked back to the crowd and saw Ariel and Melody. Ariel gave me a smile and mouthed 'You did well.' and Melody gave me a wave which I returned.
"Hey!" Mal called out to the servant covering our mother's in the Beast's spell jar. "Be careful. Their our mothers." Mal added making us all laugh.
Jay gathered the five of us in a group hug. "Let's get this party started!"
"Oh ey oh ehh!" We all sung out.
Ben's coronation celebration began with a bang. Literally there were fireworks going off.

It was perfect. Carlos and Evie were dancing together, looking just as in love as we all knew they were. Ben and Mal were at the top of the castle dancing in their own little world and I was dancing with Jay showing all the ladies who thought they had a chance that they really didn't.
The lights were flashing. The music was blaring.
Jay pulled me close and looked into my eyes before pressing his lips to mine. Pulling back he gave me a smile before picking me up and spinning me around. Tonight was perfect. So perfect none of us remembered Ursula's last words.
Line Break
Mal POV
"Oh we were having so much fun I almost forgot. You didn't think was the end of our story? Did you?"
