"Oh my god! Mal, are you okay!? Where's Ben!? Malice please tell me my brother is okay!" Bree ranted at Mal, Amy and Malice.
As Amy helped Mal into a nearby chair Malice walked over to the worried brunette. He could see she was extremely stressed but he had refused to let her go and help, he didn't want her getting hurt. "He's okay. Jay and Henry are helping him up the stairs." He told the princess. Shocking all the other VK's in the room Malice pulled Bree into a hug.
It was then that Ben came in the door with Jay and Henry, who sat him on the chair next to Mal. Bree immediately went over to her brother, pulling him into a hug which made the prince groan a little. "Sorry, sorry." The brunette apologized to her brother. Slowly all the other VK's walked into the room and Amy, who was still angry at what had happened, stood when she noticed their entire group was there.
"Okay, new rule." Amy stated and immediately all eyes turned to her. Everyone knew Mal and Malice ruled the group but they all knew Amy could be a force to be reckoned with and listened to her when she had something to say. "No one, and I mean no one, leaves this hideout in a group of less then four. Not after what just happened." She stated and everyone agreed. Sure they would have to tell the Auradon Kids in the morning but that didn't matter at the moment.
As everyone nodded Uma stepped forward. "Why? What the hell happened to you all?" She asked.
"Scarlett and her gang." Malice stated. "They ambushed Ben and Mal. They knew Mal wasn't at her strongest and exploited it. It was Scarlett, Scott and Shane. We were lucky this time but they won't underestimate us next time. There will be more of them at the next attack." The blonde/purple haired teen explained and everyone agreed once again. They couldn't risk being caught unaware and on their own. "Also we need to make sure the Auradon kids aren't recognized, Ben and Bree especially." He said.
"There's a problem with that." Ben stated, causing all eyes to turn to him. "One of the lads who was there recognized me. He looked younger then the other two but I can't be sure." The prince told them.
Malice and Amy groaned at his words. "Damn it." The blonde/purple haired teen said. "If Scott knows then the entire Isle will soon know. And possibly worst of all Maleficent will find out." All the VK's cringed at that. They had seen how ruthless the fairy had been with Mal, they couldn't stand the thought of what she could to to the royal twins. "I think we all know what a disaster it would be if she found out, we need to keep that from happening." He stated and everyone else immediately nodded. It wasn't long before Mal and Ben had been moved to their beds so they were more comfortable and not long after that Jay, Amy and Henry turned in as well. This just left Malice and Bree sat up.
The pair sat in a comfortable silence until Bree decided to break the ice. "So, do you have any hobbies?" The brunette asked. She really wanted to get to know the teen, she didn't know why but she felt sort of connected to him. Bree had always been naturally curious but she felt like she had to know about this teen, and she had to know if he felt the sparks that shot through her when he had hugged her.
"Not really." Malice said. No one but his sisters knew of his love for music and composing and for now he wanted to keep it that way. He wanted to tell the brunette princess but he couldn't just yet, not until he knew what the sparks that he had felt were. He had a good idea but he wanted to be sure.
"Really!? None at all?" Bree asked, shocked that he had no hobbies. She watched as Malice shook his head before standing and choosing a book from the shelf. The brunette noticed most of them were magical books, filled with spells and such, but she didn't really expect anything else in the hideout of Maleficent's triplets. Carefully she pulled one of the books off the shelf and returned to her seat near Malice.
Opening the book she couldn't help but think of Malice, Mal and Amy. They all seemed so close and as happy as they could be when their mother was pure evil and they were living on the Isle. She tried to focus on her book but she found her thoughts were consumed by the teen next to her. Until she came to a part of the book that took her interest.
The meeting of True Loves. In some cases of true loves meeting there have been certain effects recorded. Their thoughts are consumed by each other and they find themselves wanted to tell the other one things they would never usually tell people. They also find themselves wanting to know about the other person, even if they are complete strangers. But in the case of a powerful true love when they touch (Shake hands, hug, ect...) they feel something similar to electrical sparks emanating from where they are touching the other person. Although this is rare it has been recorded a few times.
Bree couldn't quite believe what she was reading. Quickly she placed the book on the couch and stood from her seat. "I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight." She stated. The brunette left the room, knowing she wouldn't sleep but she needed some time to digest what she had read away from Malice. The blonde/purple haired teen was shocked by the sudden change in the brunette and with a confused face he picked up the book and read the page she had left it open on. His eyes widened as he read the section Bree had.
"Well, that explains a lot." Malice muttered to himself as he sat there, rereading the same section. At least now he had a few answers but now he didn't know what to do with the information. "Maybe Mal and Amy can help me out." He muttered before placing the book back where it belongs.
