Evie P.O.V.

Silence. That's all there was as we walked to Fairy Godmother's office. The only sound that could be heard was the shuffling of feet and the sound of Gaston Jr.'s body being dragged across the floor. He still hadn't woken up yet. I turned to look at Lori. Her head was down and she seemed to be lost in thought. She and Scott were the only ones who knew what happened to Gaston. I wanted to know, so I decided to just ask Lori now. Plus, telling me alone would probably be better than having all eyes on her. I sometimes got a little flustered when talking in front of a crowd. It wasn't very often, but it happened. I am human after all.

"Lori?" I whispered quietly so I wouldn't attract the attention of the rest of the group. She lifted her head slightly to indicate that she was listening. I continued. "What exactly happened to Gaston Jr.?" Lori seemed to tense at the question, but I could tell that she was expecting it.

"He ran into a wall," She answered just as quietly as she glanced in my direction. I was shocked. Gaston Jr. ran into a wall? I knew he was dumb, but I didn't think that he was that dumb. (Just to clarify, if you have ran into a wall before, I'm not calling you dumb. I have ran into many walls myself.)

"Why would he run into a wall?" I asked more to myself. Although, it came out a little louder than I would have liked. No one seemed to hear me except for Amy. Even if she was closer to the front of the group, she had super sensitive fairy hearing. At least, I assume she did. Besides, I didn't think that Lori would know what was going on inside of Gaston's brain. But, if I had to take a guess… not much.

"I may or may not have used magic to create an illusion of myself at the end of the hall. When he ran towards it, he didn't stop and collided with the wall," She whispered. It was a peg lower in volume than her last response. I was surprised. Mainly by the fact that Lori was already starting to use magic. Yes, Mal and I had already started to use magic as well, but it was just a couple little spells here and there. I knew she was the daughter of Loki and all that, but how could she possibly be able to use magic so well already?

"Why would you do that?" I questioned instead.

She continued to stare at the ground. "He had shoved me against a wall and when I pushed him away, he got angry."

I was confused. If it were Mal, I would have understood why. Especially because he tried to do the same thing during the party. I had thought that the only reason that he had roped Lori in during that dance was because she was getting in his way. "Why would he shove you against a wall?"

"Let's just say that he thought he had the right to force me to do something just because he had done so in the past," Her answer was barely audible. I thought that I had heard her wrong. I couldn't help the small gasp that escaped from my lips.

"Oh, Lori. I am so sorry." I knew it wouldn't help anything. Her situation was similar to mine and Mal's. The only difference: Gaston Jr. got what he wanted.

I took Lori's hand in mine. She flinched a little at the sudden contact, but she didn't pull away. I took that as a good sign.

Mal P.O.V.

Walking to Fairy Godmother's office was a little awkward. I'm not going to lie. I was trying to stop doing that. Amy walked next to me. Ben was in front of us, and Audrey was by his side. Carlos and Jay were walking on either side of Gaston III. Scott and Freddie were behind them. Evie and Lori were all the way in the back. Gaston Jr. was being dragged by my magic behind them. No one had said anything once we had started walking. Usually I welcomed silence, but now, it was just annoying. I could hear Evie and Lori whispering in the back. I could have listened in if I really wanted to, but I decided against it. Instead, I turned to Amy. She had a blank expression on her face. I just couldn't imagine why she would have done what she did.

"So why did you do it?" I asked her. I kept my voice low. I didn't wat Ben or Audrey to hear.

"Do what?" Amy asked, trying to act innocent.

"It's pointless, Amy. You may be able to fool the others, but you know that you can't fool me. I'm your sister."

"Well you haven't been acting like one," Amy growled under her breath. I knew she was right. I felt badly.

"Look, Amy. I know that you're upset with me. Anyone can see that. I know what I did was wrong. I shouldn't have just left you like that. I am truly sorry," I figured that now was a good a time as any to apologize. Seeing as she couldn't exactly come up with an excuse and storm off like she had earlier.

Amy didn't respond. She kept her gaze on the floor as we walked. I knew that she wasn't going to accept my apology. Not now. After all, she couldn't make it easy for me, now could she? Hopefully she would in the near future because not being able to talk to my twin sister was killing me. I glanced back to see how everyone else was doing. I saw Evie and Lori holding hands. I smiled. I was glad that Evie was trying to befriend Lori. I was about to say something else to Amy when Ben and Audrey stopped walking.

"We're here," He announced simply as he knocked on the door. I heard Fairy Godmother's kind voice saying that the door was open. Ben opened the door and everyone entered.

"Oh dear. What happened to all of you?" Fairy Godmother questioned. Her usually calm voice was lace with concern. No one made an effort to answer. Audrey opened her mouth to speak, but all that came out was a croak. I saw Amy and Freddie try to stifle their laughter. Evie and Lori's eyes widened. Audrey looked as though she were about to start crying again. "Oh, Audrey. We need to get you fixed up. Why don't you head down to the nurse? I'll be their shortly." Audrey only nodded as she exited the room and headed towards the nurses office. "So, who wants to tell me what happened?" Fairy Godmother's voice was stern. She turned towards Ben expecting an answer.

"I actually don't really know what happened, Fairy Godmother. I had to attend to an official matter," He explained, apologetic. Fairy Godmother nodded her understanding before turning to the next person. Me. I internally groaned. I really didn't want to do this. If I told her what happened, I would be throwing Amy and Freddie under the bus. That wouldn't help our relationship at all.

I decided to not give away specifics. "Well, Audrey hair caught on fire, her words turned into croaks, and then there was a huge rainstorm inside of the ballroom." I made to no to look in Amy or Freddie's direction. I made sure to keep my eyes on the floor or on Fairy Godmother. She frowned slightly.

"That's all you know?" She asked, her tone disbelieving. I nodded.

"I was a little… preoccupied. I didn't really see what was going on."

"Preoccupied doing what?" Fairy Godmother inquired.

"She was busy swooning over Gaston Jr.," Freddie joked as she fanned herself exaggeratedly. I rolled my eyes. Ben seemed to tense. He didn't really think that's what happened, did he?

Lori and Evie scoffed. "That's one of the biggest lies I have ever heard," Evie stated as Fairy Godmother looked at her, expecting her to elaborate. She glanced in my direction. Silently asking how much information she could actually divulge. I shrugged. It was her decision. She sighed. "After Ben left, Gaston Jr. roped Mal into a dance. She tried to get away and Lori was trying to help her. Then he pushed Mal back into Lori, and they both fell." I was glad that she decided not to reveal the history behind the 'attack'. Ben held my hand in what I think was an apologetic way. I glanced over in his direction. He looked concerned and a little bit confused.

"Okay, we'll get to that in a minute. Who attacked Audrey?" Fairy Godmother asked once more. I looked back over to the two best friends just in time to see Amy glancing over in Scott's direction. I tilted my head to the side, slightly. Intent on knowing more about this.

"I did," Freddie finally spoke up.

"Uh-huh. And why did you do it?" Fairy Godmother questioned.

Freddie shrugged. "She had it coming," She muttered under her breath. I was glad that Audrey wasn't here for that.

"Okay, since that is settled, back to this Gaston issue. Where is he?"

Evie and Lori stepped out of the way to reveal an unconscious Gaston behind them. Fairy Godmother inhaled sharply. Before she could ask, Freddie took one step forward.

"Lori," She mentioned the name casually as everyone turned to face the teen in question. She paled slightly and Evie frowned.

"Lori, you did this to Gaston Jr.?" Fairy Godmother asked almost in disbelief as Lori nodded. "Why?" Lori wrung her hands, obviously dreading the question.

Gaston III, who had been surprisingly quiet, scoffed. "Does their need to be a reason for her to hurt my brother? She's just as crazy as her father! We're lucky he's not dead!" Evie growled.

"If you don't tell them, then I will," She said to Lori. I smiled once more. It was just like Evie to be the sister that you never had. Lori, reluctantly, gestured for Evie to explain.

"It was his fault," Evie stated flatly. Fairy Godmother gave her a questioning look, silently asking her to continue. "They had a past… relationship, after we left." She looked pointedly at me. My eyes widened as I understood what she meant. "He thought he could take advantage of that. Her actions were purely self-defense. Besides, she didn't even lay a hand on him! It's not her fault that he ran into a wall!" Once Evie finished I released Ben's hand and walked straight over to Lori. I wrapped her in a hug and whispered an apology that only she could hear. Carlos and Jay seemed to understand what Evie had meant and they sent their own apologetic looks in her direction. On my way back over to Ben, I couldn't help but notice how Amy glanced back over in Scott's direction. I internally squealed. I think my little sister has a crush on a certain feline friend of hers. She always did like cats.

"What do you mean she didn't lay a hand on him?" Fairy Godmother questioned.

"I used magic," Lori explained quietly as Fairy Godmother nodded her understanding.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand," Ben stated as we looked over at him. He was confused, so was Fairy Godmother. Of course an Auradonian wouldn't understand. It was an Isle thing.

************ "Violation of personal space," Lori offered as Ben gave her the same confusing look. She sighed. We both knew that there was only one thing that she could say for him to fully understand. "Rape." She said it quietly, just barely audible. Ben looked taken aback. He also looked angry. Lori's gaze fell to the floor. Freddie and Gaston III looked unaffected by the confession. Amy looked a little surprised. Scott looked annoyed and slightly angry as well. Evie, Carlos, and Jay looked upset, knowing it was partly our fault, but not really. He probably would have done it whether I slept with him or not. ************

"I see," Fairy Godmother replied, just as shocked as Ben, but she didn't seem angry. "Well, if that's all, then you children may be dismissed." We all nodded and headed towards the door, but Ben gently grabbed my hand. He wanted to talk to me. Oh, dear.

"Mal," He said softly. I didn't look him in the eyes. "Is there anything else that you need to tell us? Tell me?" I shook my head.

"There is nothing that I need to tell you."

"Okay, I know you'll tell me when you're ready," He stated as he rubbed my arms gently, ending that conversation. "I think today could have gone better."

"Ben," I sighed as I finally looked up. I could see the little crease on the bridge of his nose, meaning that he had something on his mind. I decided not to comment on it. "Things are getting out of hand. You have to admit it. They've been here for less than a day and we've already had a disaster. Not like a little harmless spell here or there. Audrey was SET ON FIRE."

"She's right, Ben," Fairy Godmother supported.

"I think everything is fine. Freddie admitted to hurting Audrey…"

"Ben, it wasn't just Freddie," I interrupted as he gave me a questioning look. "Amy was the one who set Audrey's hair on fire and started the storm. Freddie only caused her to croak." Ben nodded.

"I think we just need to give them some time," Ben concluded after a while.

"Where's your wand?" I asked Fairy Godmother.

"It's in the museum where it always is," Fairy Godmother responded, worry and confusion laced in her tone. "Why do you ask?"

"Because I believe that they plan on stealing it. I'm not sure about Lori, Amy, and Freddie, but definitely the boys," I explained. Both Ben and Fairy Godmother looked shocked.

"That is a serious accusation. Why would you think that, Mal?" Ben asked. I wanted to laugh at his ignorance, but thought better of it.

"When you introduce Jane as Fairy Godmother's daughter, they had this look in their eyes. I recognize that look. It was the same look that Jay, Evie, Carlos, and I had when we got here. Besides, Freddie's dad, Dr. Facilier wants nothing more than revenge. It's all he would talk about during school."

"School?" Fairy Godmother inquired.

"Yeah, he's the principal of Dragon Hall. The school on the Isle." Ben and Fairy Godmother nodded.

"Well, I'll make sure that it's safe. In the meantime, Mal, do you think you could help me with Audrey?" Fairy Godmother requested as I nodded. It's my sister's fault that Audrey needs fixing, so I guess it's my responsibility to be the one who fixes her. I just hoped that nothing like this would happen again.

Thank you all so much for being patient. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It was a bit longer than usual, so yeah. Thanks for reviewing, favoriting, or following this story. Thanks for just reading. Special thanks to pinksakura271 for allowing me to use her OC, Amy.

The next chapter might take a little while to come out because I am going to be busy with life next week. I have school orientation and I'm also going to be out of state, helping my sister move. I should hopefully be able to get a chapter out, but if I can't... oh well, I tried.
