After getting over the shock of finding out Mal had been kidnapped Adam had quickly called Fairy Godmother and asked for her magical assistance to help find who took the girl. Mal had very quickly captured their hearts and become a member of their family. To think anything had or was going to happen to her just made the trio mad and upset. The headmistress had quickly agreed to help and arrived next to the family seconds later, wand in hand. But as she walked over to the tree the teen had been waiting behind she became confused. Fairy Godmother couldn't use magic to find out who had taken the toddler. Now she had to break that news to the distraught family behind her.
As she turned she wasn't given a chance to speak. "So? Anything? Do you know who took her?" Ben asked.
Regretfully, Fairy Godmother shook her head. "I'm afraid not." The older woman hated the way the trio's faces fell. "But I can tell you who is cloaking the guy with magic." She told the family in front of her. That bit of information peaked their interest but the older woman really didn't know how this would go down.
"Who is it?" Adam practically growled out.
"Erm..." The Headmistress stammered. Seeing the questioning look on the families faces she reluctantly carried on speaking. "They're being cloaked by... Maleficent." The gasp that came from Belle wasn't easily missed.
"Why would Maleficent want to kidnap Mal?" Ben asked the three adults surrounding him. He just couldn't understand why after neglecting her the first time around she would go to this trouble to take her.
"Oh my god!" The former Queen exclaimed, causing all eyes to turn towards her. "Adam, she wouldn't try and turn Mal evil while she's young and vulnerable would she?"
The former King couldn't stop the growl that emitted from his throat. "I think that sounds exactly like something Maleficent would do." He stated. He had always hated Maleficent but taking Mal like this, she just made it personal.
"We need to find her. Fast." Belle stated, with an anger and ferocity no one had heard from the usually kind, caring former Queen before. Both Adam and Fairy Godmother nodded to her. They were worried what her reaction would be of they didn't agree to be honest and they didn't want to find out. "Is there nothing you can do?" The former Queen asked the older fairy in front of her.
"I'll see what I can do." Fairy Godmother stated, turning away from the family. She had to find something. They were all worried about the small girl that had wormed her way into their hearts. If she was being honest the fairy agreed with Adam's statement. It sounds exactly like something the mistress of evil would do. Everybody just hoped they could find the girl before anything happened to her. None of them would forgive themselves of maleficent hurt the toddler in any way.
Mal began to wake up in a dark room. The boy who had taken her had left her in a small pile on the floor of a dark, cold, unfamiliar room. As her eye lids fluttered open the young girl struggled to make out anything she recognised or any shapes at all for that matter. As she fully came around she started crying. She wanted to be back with the nice family who she had been living with. She wanted to play in the park with Ben, to play with the older couple.
As she fully came around the small toddler sat up and looked around. She had no idea where she was, no idea how to get out and no idea how to find anyone. She curled into a tight ball, flinching as she heard a loud bang coming from near by. She looked around the room and noticed there was a large door in the opposite wall, as it swung open. Mal shuffled further away from the door and she watched a dark figure walk into the room.
The small girl slowly lifted her head and saw the figure she had been having nightmares about. The woman with horns coming from her head. The woman who told her she would take her away from the people the little girl loved. She had followed through on her promise and the young girl couldn't help but cry at the thought she might not see them again.
"Mal! Stop crying this instant." Maleficent ordered the girl. This only made the purple haired toddler cry harder. Maleficent despised the fact that even now the girl was still disobeying her. She quickly wanted over to the crying toddler and slapped the girl across the face. Mal was so stunned by the unexpected blow that she briefly stopped crying.
But as the pain hit her and the shock eased off Mal began crying again. "I want to go home!" She cried out. Maleficent simply sighed at having to go through this again. She hated it the first time but hopefully this time she could knock it out of the girl sooner.
"This is your home now, Mal. With me, your mother." The mistress of evil of evil told the distraught girl. That information only made the toddler cry harder. All the girl wanted was to be home, safe and warm, with people who care about her.
"I want Benny!" Mal screamed.
Maleficent was quickly loosing patience with the crying toddler. "You won't see him again. Ever." She said to the girl in front of her. Mal was struggling to breath she was crying so hard. The evil fairy was growing tired of the girls constant crying, so she simply sighed and stormed out of the room. Slamming the door and making the girl flinch as she did so.
Mal couldn't help but think of all the people she missed as she held her hand to the side of her face. As the pain on her cheek grew worse the young girl wished she was with Benny and his family, with Evie or even the nice older lady. But even though thinking of them sent her to the older lady the last time the young girl couldn't control her magic yet. Nor was she aware that Maleficent had placed a force field around the room preventing the girl from using any magic. Accidental or not.
The young girl just wished someone would find her soon and take her away from the horrible woman from her nightmare and she would be able to leave this dark, cold and wet room.
