Chapter 9

Ben's POV

Okay, I didn't really expect Maleficent to wait that long to come out of the cell but you know I've never ever been disappointed, in my entire life, so yeah, I knew that she was coming once Mal looked at me and screamed. She had such fear in her eyes, it was scary and it was different from the coronation, fairy-god mother didn't have her wand.

So now I stand frozen watching the scene play before my eyes. When Maleficent marched into the room that Mal was freaking out it, she was pacing and her hands were shaking. Once her mother walked into the room she stopped pacing, looked up at the wall in front of her and her hand balled into fists and rested at her side, knuckles white from the attempt to keep them from shaking. I was talking quietly to Fairy-God Mother who was probably equally freaked out but she was calm. She had said that we had fought Maleficent before and we had won 2 times. She reassured me that all was going to be fine.

My parents were alerted when one of the guards, too panicked to stay in the room, was instructed to find them by Fairy-God Mother. When Mal stopped pacing I looked up and I saw Maleficent opposite of her. Maleficent has her eyes on me though, not her daughter. "No, leave him alone," She orders.

"I don't think that you are in the position to demand things of me Mal. I instructed you task and you didn't carry it out. I told what would happen if you didn't complete your job," She replies calmly, scarily calm and she steps towards me. Mal threw herself in front of her mother.

"No! You, you are an evil person! We gave you a chance! A chance to be good, to love, to be happy! Why, why can't you try to accept that? You don't have to live destroying everything that is beautiful. Look what it's done to the island. No fertile land because you all destroying and burned the soil. Look around mother, it is so beautiful here, nobody lives with destruction, people are happy, to be around others, to help! Sure these people may need to have a little more fun at times, and they could have a little dosage of selfishness but they are good people! You can't imprison them just because you are a power crazed lunatic that uses and threatens her own daughter to get what she wants and will never rightfully deserve. That crown," She points to the crown atop me head, "belongs to Ben, he is rightful king, and he does a fine job at it, but you, you will corrupt the world. You will bend people's will just because you want to. I don't know why you are like this, if it's because you weren't invited to a party, then that's immature and you need to let your anger go and move on! Why do you need to take your anger out on innocent people?" She asks.

Maleficent actually seems to listen to her daughter, to hear her out. She is silent for a moment before her lip curls up into a sneer, "What a beautiful speech. I think you're right, I shouldn't take my anger out on innocent people. They did nothing to me, they will not be in the path of my destruction," She says. For a moment Mal's eyes look hopeful before Maleficent douses that light sooner than it came.

"They will stay here," Maleficent gestures around her, "The seven dwarfs and their children, Sno-, wait no EQ has defiantly been wanting to see her. Aladdin can be executed soon but Jafar want to 'speak' with Jasmine. Hmmm, King Beast and Bell locked us all up they will be locked but trust me, not for long. Oh and King Ben, you are supposed to be dead. What to do with you? Well I think that you are going to die anyway but it can be with your loved ones, excluding Mal who will watch, per our deal. Aurora and her insufferable king must go, and so shall their whole family. Everyone else will be locked up here, excluding Mal's 'friends' per our deal," She decides. Mal's eyes fall and she looks her mother in the eye and both of their irises swirl green and it looks as if a bond of magic holds Mal there.

"You cannot imprison them or kill them!" She cries, "You have the ability to love, somewhere deep down in you, I know you do. You used to love me, remember? When you sang me to sleep, of course it was telling me to be evil like you, but it was love, I couldn't see it then because I didn't know what love was, but I do now, because someone I care about taught me, he showed me how to love someone. Endlessly, until the end of time," She pleads.

"Their," is all Maleficent says.

"What?" Mal asks, confused.

"He showed you how to love someone endlessly, but only to the end of their time, which is now," She snickers.

Mal shakes her head and stumbles backwards and she trips, but I catch her before she falls. I look at her mother, rage boiling in me. The evil of this person is unbearable, she hurt her daughter so much that she couldn't take it. I look down at Mal, the green in her eyes vanishing. Her eyes are glassy from tears. "I'm so sorry Ben. I'm so sorry" She whispers, tears rolling down her face. I set Mal, gently on the ground before returning my attention to the villain at hand. I walk towards her but before I could do anything my parents burst through the door, Fairy-God Mother's wand in hand. I was almost hopeful had it not been for Mal screaming no and grabbing the Magic Wand and running out the door. I was running after her even before her mother was.
