Mal stood staring at the black haired teen, who had stopped struggling against Evie's grip. The purplette wanted to believe her but she wasn't sure if she could. Before she could think any further Carla spoke. "Please, just let me explain." Carla begged the purple haired Queen. After sharing a look with the others Mal nodded to her, allowing her to continue. "Me and Eva had no idea what they were planning." She stated and Mal couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "We were forced off the Isle with our parents but when we got here, Malice over heard us talking about coming to find you and spelled us."
Shock crossed everyone's faces, except Mal's. It was just like her brother, taking peoples free will away from them. "He said we couldn't, that we had to help him with his plan if our parents failed. We wanted to warn you but because of the spell we couldn't say or do anything without his permission." Carla explained.
"So how are you here talking to us now?" Ben asked, passing Belle to Lonnie before moving to stand next to his wife. "Surely Malice wouldn't let you." He stated.
Sighing Carla looked between the King and Queen. "He removed the spell before he put us in the room with Audrey, Rosalie and Adam. He said something about the magic dome keeping the three of them in there would have cancelled the spell anyway." She explained. It was they she turned to Jay for the first time. "Audrey and Rosalie are okay, they miss you like mad but Eva is there looking after them."
Jay felt the tears gathering in his eyes at the mention of his wife and daughter. He hadn't even held his daughter yet and she was a week old already. He simply nodded to her before clearing his throat. "You said you knew what their plan was?" The long haired ex-theif asked, once he fully trusted his voice again.
Carla looked at the faces staring at her, unsure of how they would take the news. She was especially worried about Mal, Ben and Jay's reaction. "Yeah." She answered Jay's question. "He plans to wait until Belle is left alone and come back for her. He says he's found a way around her force field or something. Once he has her he plans to take them to the Isle and raise the three kids to be evil." The teen told them. Carla watched as fury took over all their faces.
"What about Audrey?" Ben asked, realizing that Carla hadn't mentioned her.
Carlos' twin couldn't look any of them in the eyes at this question. She suddenly found the floor very fascinating, something everyone noticed. "He said she wasn't important, so he plans to just leave her where they are now. He doesn't care about what happens to her." She muttered but they all heard what the black haired teen had said. Mal growled at this, it angered her to no end. She couldn't believe her brother would do this. "There's something else though." She stated and Mal immediately gave Carla her full attention. "Malice said he knew of a way to reverse the spell you cast on Maleficent and he was going to reverse it so she could have her revenge on you."
Ben immediately wrapped his arms around Mal as he noticed her starting to shake from anger and fear. "I'll have Fairy Godmother put a barrier around her cell, okay?" He whispered to his wife, who simply nodded to him but her eyes never left Carla's. She was looking for any hint of deception from the black haired teen. The purplette couldn't help but smile slightly when she didn't find anything. With a nod to Evie, Mal watched as Carla was let go and she and Carlos shared a hug.
As happy as Mal was that she was right and that Carla and Eva seemed to have some good in them, she knew they needed to act soon. She wasn't going to risk Malice being able to carry out his plan. "Can you tell me where they're hiding?" The purple haired Queen asked as she stepped closer to the black haired teen.
"Yeah, they're at Maleficent's castle in the Forbidden Mountains." She told the group and Mal's eyes widened.
"That's four days away in car!" She exclaimed, as she stepped forward so she was in front of the teen. That was when she noticed just how tired and run down Carla looked. "Tell me you didn't walk all this way!?" Mal asked and Carlos' eyes widened comically at this. Carla however simply shrugged but it was easy for the fairy to see that she was unsteady on her feet and completely exhausted. "Ben, can you and Carlos show Carla to one of the guest rooms while I get her something to eat?"
Ben moved towards his wife at her question and gently kissed her. "Of corse." He responded.
Once Ben and Carlos began to lead Carla upstairs mal turned to Evie and Jay. "I'll only be a few minutes. Look after Belle for me?" She asked her pseudo brother and sister.
Smiling they both nodded. "Of corse Mal." Evie responded. "Do you think we can trust her?" She asked the purplette. Mal simply smiled and nodded to the blunette before heading off to the kitchen. She knew they needed to work on a plan but they also needed to get Carla some food, heaven knows how long it took here to get here on foot.
