Chapter 21 Breaking Point

The place remained empty excluding Evie and Jay the two walked around worriedly.

"Wheres Carlos?"Jay asked looking around, there was confetti and balloons littering the floor.

"He probably got swept away with the crowd we need to help Mal" Evie stated rubbing her fingers through her blue hair.

"lets check if someone left a car or carpet behind" Jay suggested,Evie nodded the two ran out of the party area towards the garage.

*in the skies*

Mal struggled against Maleficent's grip as the dragon soared across the sky.

"LET ME GO MOTHER!" Mal repeatedly punched the tail, Maleficent threw her into the dirt before landing on the Cliffside. Mal struggled to stand, purple smoke swirled around Maleficent her form changing to a more humanoid appearance.

"Hello dearie I'm back hahaha yea thanks for turning me into a lizard" She chuckled sinisterly.

"LEAVE THIS LAND MOTHER !" Mal demanded, she acted confident but she was shaken to her core. Maleficent couldn't help the laugh that forced its way out.

"I'm sorry I know you're being serious but leave this land mother!? Seriously ahh sweetheart you're funny" the dark fairy mocked her daughter. Mal backed up slowly trying to stay strong in the face of danger.

"you truly are evil forcing me to sit in that crusty library ugh I was bored out of my skin and then you dragged me around flaunting your true love ugh" Maleficent said the last bit with disgust as she got closer to her daughter.

"true irony is sleeping beauty daughter the one who freed me" she admitted Mal eyes widen at this.

"AUDREY FREED YOU!?" she screamed enraged and shocked filling her.

"yup now you crossed the wrong lady Malsy time for your punishment" Maleficent said teasingly she quickly spun and shot a stream of green flames from her hands.

"WOW!" Mal jumped out of the way she turned to her mother who was summoning purple lightning with her scepter.

"hazardous blast coming down, inner strength protect me now" Mal chanted and rubbed her hands together she closed her eyes as a green nearly transparent energy dome covered her. The lightning repeatedly struck the barrier until it shattered.

"oh I see you've gotten better with your spells dear let's just see if you are strong enough to beat me" Maleficent smirked, her eyes glowing green pupils becoming narrow like a cat. Mal glared at her mother her own eyes glowing green as well but her pupils stay round.

"make haste and engulf my mother in nature's embrace" Mal chanted green sparkles shoot from her hand and hit the ground. The earth starts cracking and vines creep out of it they travel fast towards Maleficent.

"oh please don't waste a pathetic spell like that on me" Maleficent glared and spun her scepter waves of green flames emitting from her disintegrating the vines.

"black as night and hard as coal boulders crush my mother's soul" Mal chanted and green sparkles twirled over Maleficent's head forming huge rocks. Maleficent grips her scepter tightly a green aura forms around the rocks and start launching at Mal. The teenager screams and starts dodging each boulder.

"try but you will never win when you're blasted by some wind" Mal says as a bunch of wind hits Maleficent picking her up off the ground. The older woman growls a green aura covering her she thrust her arms forward making the wind cease. Mal summoned a fireball in her hand and threw it at her mother Maleficent caught the ball and crushes it until it was just smoke. She grew annoyed at her daughter's performance.

"NO HOLDING BACK" Maleficent screamed shooting a green energy blast, this struck Mal chest the impact sending her flying into the ground hard. She groaned in pain holding her chest, she struggled to catch her breath.

"There's the difference between you and me dear you're soft I'll do what needs to be done" She glared down at her daughter sphere on scepter glowing green.

"GET AWAY FROM MY GIRLFRIEND YOU WITCH!" Ben screamed flying in on the carpet. He drove the carpet right by Maleficent, he took this opportunity to smack the woman with his shield knocking her down. He stood on the carpet and pointed the sword at her glaring, he held his shield close to his chest.

"that was your last mistake Benny boy" Maleficent growled she snapped, Ben gasped as his blade crumbled into shot a stream of green fire from her hand and he blocks it with his shield. The flames continue hitting it melting the metal, he growled before throwing it at her. She telekinetically caught it and flung it away, the melting metal pierced a tree.

"BEN GET OUT OF HERE! NOW" Mal called out holding her wound.

"oh so you care about him" Maleficent smirked she twirls her scepter, Ben gasped a green aura surrounding him he started floating off the carpet.

"BEN! MOTHER STOP THIS PLEASE I'LL DO ANYTHING" Mal begged tears welling up in her eyes.

"YOU'RE WEAK I TOLD YOU LOVE IS WEAKNESS AND YOU TURNED AGAINST ME WELL MISSY YOU BURNED THE WRONG BRIDGE" Maleficent screamed enraged by her daughter, Ben looked down gulping if she let him go that'd be a very far fall.

"mother please I'm sorry" Maleficent looked at her crying daughter sympathetically.

"you truly love him huh?" She asked in a sad tone, Mal nodded tears streaming down her face she was able to prop herself up on her knees. Maleficent sighed and a smirk covered her features, Mal face went from hopeful to fearful.

"never tell your opponents you're weaknesses darling" She said as the green aura around Ben vanished. He screamed as he fell, he reached for the ledge but missed and plummeted towards the abyss.

"NO!" Mal shrieked watching her boyfriend fall. She turned seeing the darkest fairy laughing hard thunder booming. Mal couldn't help but remember the times her mother put her down telling her she's not evil enough how she'll never amount to anything. Than she remembered when she finally took her down at the coronation with Ben's encouragement. She let out a scream, the scream was filled with a variety of emotions despair,rage, pain and most of all hate. The scream echoed throughout the whole area Maleficent eyes widen seeing green flames twirl around Mal. The teenager was covered in green energy, she sensed the power seeping out of her daughter in waves. Mal roared black bat like wings growing from her back, Maleficent backed up shocked by this transformation. Mal stood up and walked towards her eyes glowing a bright green pupils narrowing.

"Now calm down I did you a favor he was only going to distract you from the goal being like me" Maleficent smiled Mal lunged at her taking off into the sky strong grip at Maleficent's collar.

"DIE!" Mal shrieked an explosion of green sends Maleficent blasting off into the sky. Mal crashed back onto the cliff side wings sinking into her back.

"Ben….." she weakly said crawling to the edge of the cliff and staring down into the abyss.

"nooooo" she cried tears falling down her face dropping off the cliff.

"MAL!" she hears someone scream her name she turns seeing Jay and Evie running towards her Evie falls to her knees and hugs her crying bestie.

Jay got on one knee and wrapped his arms around both of the girls. Mal cried into Evie shoulder.

"it'll be okay sweetie it'll be okay" Evie said trying to sooth her.

Jay and Evie glanced at each other knowing just how bad the situation was, Ben was dead this was a bad situation all around.

*in the woods*

"you think she's still out and about?" Audrey asked looking around.

"who cares you'll get your dad sword and vanquish her like he did a long time ago" Chad smiled at her Audrey nodded nervously.

"and we'll scare this one so bad they'll all go home" Audrey smirked at the unconscious boy, He had two black rings around both eyes and his black shirt was stained with blood. Audrey didn't notice Chad look of amusement, he stared at Carlos with such satisfaction at what he was going to do.
