Small Malments
'Even though she tried to hurt me , even after the years of being told I wasn't good enough she is still my mother and I want her here.'
The Library
"So if this curse is going to change you into your mother then why isn't it her?" The King asked as he , the queen , Ben , and I sat in the beasts study. The four of us each going through spell books in order to find what curse may have been casted. Ben and I have barely spoken about anything else but the curse. No words about how I told him that I loved him or about the kiss we shared at Evie's wedding.
"Her magic isn't strong enough. Not many lizards are able to perform four body consumption spells , or even just one. Plus there is no way she could have cast it before the coronation. The Isle has no magic and this curse seems to take time to start to take effect. My mother didn't have time. Plus I would like to think that my mother wouldn't want to kill me in order for her to be free." I trail off at the end. Maybe I am just in denial , maybe it is her . Maybe she still has some of her magic.
"What about ways to reverse it. Surely there has been something you thought of." Belle suggested and I nodded silently.
"There are two ways we think. One is to have me take a memory erase potion and the other is to get rid of Evie's baby before she has it. " I pause as Ben looks at me heartbroken.
"Neither we want to do but if we can't find the exact curse or the person who cast it then I will take the potion and I will forget my time off the Isle and hopefully that will void my part of the curse. "
"Because if you forget me then you will forget about being in love with me and then the first part would be untriggered , right?" Ben asked and I nodded again.
"But if we find out who or what curse they performed then we could stop it. " Belle concluded.
"This curse sounds similar to a spell I heard of years ago when I was younger before I turned into a beast. A sea witch once performed it on a girl in a village not to far from here. If I remember correctly the girl first had thoughts of the witch followed by she started to turn color and have the appearance of the witch and finally the actual witch completely took over the girls body. " The king shut the book he was searching through causing the three of us to look at him,
"Evie was talking about that curse. Wasn't the girls curse triggered by a shell or something she found on the beach. Also wasn't that almost two hundred years ago. I doubt she is still alive to cast it. Plus why would she do it and how could she avoid being sent to the Isle." I rambled continuously and stopped once Ben took a hold of my hand.
All of this was overwhelming. The fate of my life and those who lived in Auradon were in my hands. I needed to find a solution and soon because we only have five months until the baby is born and if Jay and Carlos complete their tasks then we will lose and everything we know will be gone. I want to cry but I can't right now , I need to remain strong in this time. If I am going to defeat this then I need to focus on what is most important.
"Dear wasn't she executed a long time ago . During her second transition , remember." Belle pushed and the King patted her hand and Ben jumped up and kissed me gently on the lips before running over to a book shelf.
"I know the curse. I know where I've heard about it. " Ben screams climbing the ladder and getting a book .
I don't know why the curse made me want to leave my prince besides to make me more like my mother. I know that no matter what my head says that my heart truly does love him and I am going to love him until this curse consumes me or I die . Whichever comes first.
"Mal do you remember when we went away for the day to visit Chad? Do you remember the necklace his girlfriend Sara gave you?"
Will update today.
