*Ben's POV*
I walked into my office and the others followed me; I didn't know what to make of what had just happened with Mal. I just hoped that Evie, Jay, Carlos or the Fairy Godmother could explain so I could try and understand.
"Will someone tell me what has just happened?" I asked after Carlos closed the door behind us all.
"Well it is heading in the right direction?" Fairy Godmother advised nervously.
"How is that in the right direction? If Evie goes anyway near Mal she'll kill her" I exclaimed. I was actually shocked to see Mal react to her sister the way; and the fact that I now had to make sure that they were kept apart so Mal couldn't hurt Evie was very unsettling for me.
"It shows that her memory is coming back" Jay advised.
"Yes" Evie nodded with a meek smile. "Mal is starting to remember things; and until she's calmed down I won't go anywhere near her" she added as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Yes, I think that this is wise" Fairy Godmother nodded.
"Does this mean she will start remembering me too?" I asked hopefully.
"I don't know Ben" she replied sadly. "It has taken a while for Mal to get this far" she reminded us all. "I know that you miss Mal; and the things that Mal is saying to you is hurting you. But you need to be patient with her" she finished.
"I know" I sighed. "I just miss her so much" I said sadly. I wanted my Mal back; and I missed her a lot! The Mal that was currently asleep in her room wasn't the Mal that I fell in love with - but my heart was telling me that she would come back to me. It just hurt me the fact that she could act so cold and distant with me - it was like she was a whole different person.
"I know Ben" Carlos said sadly.
"We all do" Jay added.
"Yes Mal is gunning for me at the minute; but the fact that she remembered is a good sign. We need to concentrate on that" Evie interjected and I threw her a sympathetic look.
"What did she even remember anyway?" I asked and I watched as Evie looked down nervously to the ground.
"Me and Mal got into a fight on the Isle-" she started as she slowly looked up at me. "This was before we were friends" she added before she bit down on her bottom lip which told me that I probably wasn't going to like to hear this particular story.
"Ok" I prompted.
"And I had her pinned down with a knife against her neck" she admitted.
"What?" I asked in shock. How Mal was currently acting with Evie was one thing but actually hearing about them like this was knocking me completely. When and if Mal's memory ever comes back I think we would need to talk more about this.
"That is how things are on the Isle Ben" Evie shrugged.
"So you cut her?" I asked in disbelief.
"Mildly yes" she confessed and I watched as the guilt started to build up in her eyes. "Even though she was goading me I couldn't do it; and she scoffed at me when I threw the knife to the side" she continued to explain. "I tried to run away from her and we got into another fight; one of which she won" she finished as she winced.
"I see" I noted as I looked out of the window in my office. I really didn't know how to feel about what Evie had just told me; but it only made me start to hope even harder that Mal would start remembering me and what we have. So we could get through this situation together; and I could help her through this.
