Because of the switch, it looked as if Mal was stomping around and throwing an angry vibe to the other students. In other words, it looked a bit normal for the villain girl to be like this. If only the students of Auradon Prep knew the truth...
Audrey was pissed. She was pissed the hell off. She was more angry than her grandparents were at Maleficent for taking their only baby away for sixteen years of their lives. And trust Audrey, that is a BIG thing that her family will eternally be angry for. So this, the news Audrey had heard from Ben, had her head spinning like a demonic demon taking over her body.
Mal arrived into the school, still a wreck from this morning's incident, and hurried over to Audrey's locker and opened it. She felt her body still shaking and the goosebumps on her skin haven't gone away. "I just need to get through today without seeing Audrey—"
"HEY! YOU! DRAGON!" Audrey yelled in the empty hallway, minus the other teenage girl standing in there. "Virgin giving away dragon!"
"Ya know," Mal played a nervous laugh. "It's actually fire breathing dragon."
"Oh good you admit you are a DRAGON!" Audrey yelled, hands on her hips. "I HAVE DEMAND TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU!"
Mal felt her body shake more. She was on the verge of tears now. Audrey stomped over in her boots and came directly face with Mal. "I heard what happened!"
"Audrey—"
"Don't you DARE even 'Audrey' me right now, Maleficent!" Audrey yelled, now calling Mal by her mothers name. Okay, technically her name, but not exactly. "What you did is the worse thing you or your mother could ever do combined."
"I know, I know! I'm sorry!" Mal said, feeling tears in her eyes. "I swear, I didn't meant it. I was so drunk that I thought I was with Ben—"
"Oh and you think THAT makes it better?" Audrey asked her, still angry. "Say that you did. You still slept with someone outside of marriage, you slept with MY secret boyfriend, you stole MY boyfriend...again in a way, you gave away MY virginity...does Maleficent translate to: I love to ruin things!?"
"Audrey, please forgive me." Mal said. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I did that to you and Aziz, I know how you feel about it."
"You've humiliated me and you've humiliated Aziz, and humiliated both of our families!" Audrey stated. "I'm surprised my head isn't chopped off yet! I'm now the school slut, thank you! I wanted to get it on with someone last night but at least I had the decency to not do anything because I knew I was not in my own body! You are just complete island trash!"
"Please don't say that, please," Mal begged, close to crying.
"Is that a mark on my cheek!?"Audrey noticed the red hand color mark on her cheek.
"Um, yes..." Mal said, covering it with her hand. "Your grandpa slapped me."
"Which one?" Audrey asked. "It doesn't matter which one, but I'm curious."
"Uh...Leah's husband. Steven?"
"Grandpa Stefan? Oh perfect!" Audrey whined and rolled her eyes. "He looks all humble but he's literally as angry as my grandma can be. What did you do!?"
"I sort...sorta...threw something and nearly hit Leah." Mal admitted. Audrey's face turned dark red. "Audrey?" Mal whispered.
"YOU. THREW. SOMETHING. AT. MY. GRANDMOTHER!?" She roared at the top of her lungs, cracking a nearby window. "AND GOT SLAPPED FOR IT? OH MY FREAKING GOSH, MALEFICENT! I SWEAR, I COULD JUST PUT MY HANDS AROUND YOUR NECK AND CHOKE THE HELL OUT OF YOU UNTIL YOU ARE AS BLUE AS EVIE'S BLUE HAIR!"
"I only flipped because...uh...they said they were going..."
"Going to what!?"
Mal said it all very rapidly, Audrey almost missed it, "They were so angry at me, as you, for doing that stuff and being drunk and embarrassing the family and not acting like yourself as they normally know you as that they threatened to send me and or you to military school!"
Audrey stared blankly at this girl. This girl who had her looks, but the soul of evil, darkness. This girl who had done all of this and yet, the only bad thing she's done was have the dragon's magic taken from her. That was IT! Audrey nearly lost it.
"Life. Ruiner."
"Wh-what?"
"Life. Ruiner!"She punctuated the words clearly. "You. Ruin. My. Life. For. The. Last. Fucking. Time!" She said through her teeth.
Well crap, Audrey swore! Mal knew she had just made Audrey angry. "Audrey—"
"Shut up." Audrey said.
"But—"
"Shut up."
"Audrey
"Audrey—"
"Shut up." Audrey said.
"But—"
"I SAID TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Audrey yelled again. "HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO HAVE TO REPEAT THAT TO A STUPID, UGLY, WORTHLESS PIECE OF ISLAND TRASH WHO IS A WASTE OF PERFECT OXYGREN IN PERFECT AURADON!"
Mal was sobbing now. "I'm so sorry, Audrey, I didn't meant too! Look, we can switch back and then explain to everyone about Lonnie's psychotic great grandmother—"
"No." Audrey said, simply.
Everything between the two went silent. Mal's jaw to the ground.
"No?" She asked in disbelief. Perhaps she just heard inaccurately.
"No." Audrey said again, arms crossed over her body. She sniffed and turned her head; essentially appearing like her snooty-like self. "We are not switching back."
Mal's jaw was still to the ground. "Wh-wh-what!? Why!?"
Audrey rolled her eyes and stated the facts to the dragon. " We are not switching back, ever. You've ruined my life so much that you can just keep it. I like being in this body. I can deal with your mother because once I get the magic back, I just say the spell and she will never bother me. My grandparents are going to send me to military school and mother and father are not going to be happy when they come back. You've ruined my existence, you can take if you life ruiner!"
"But Aziz!"
"He'll just find another princess." Audrey said.
"You're going back to Ben?"
"Huh! AS if!" Audrey rolled her eyes. "Like I'd go back to that moron who thought it was an extraordinary idea to invite the dragon child of my family's worse enemy in the entire freaking universe!"
Mal was still sobbing, harder now. "NO! I want my friends back! PLEASE!" She nearly fell to her knees.
"Audrey is friends with Evie, Jay and Carlos. Just not the child of Maleficent!"
"No, it's not the same!" Mal cried. "Please, Audrey, PLEASE!"
"No. I have to go now." Audrey said. "Bye-bye, Princess Audrey." She said and walked away.
Mal fell to her knees, begging for Audrey to come back. "PLEASE! Audrey! Please!" She sobbed, feeling her body hunch forward in pain. Her sobbing was louder and she hyperventilated violently. "AUDREY! PLEASE!"
But Audrey didn't come back. Ever.
Mal was alone, in this body that she was not suppose to be in. Ever. Mal pulled out her phone and dialed a specific number.
"Li residence, this is—"
"Kuan-yin." Mal said, hoping that just saying the great grandmother name would help.
Silence, just shuffling, then an older woman's voice. "Nǐ hǎo."
"This is Mal!" Mal yelled, trying to keep her voice clear.
Silence. "Nǐ hǎo." She said again.
"Look, Audrey and I switched! The cookies at the party!" Mal yelled. No response. "SWITCH US BACK, PLEASE!"
"You switch." She said, still with her accent, but simple English words that Mal understood clearly.
"Yes, no, yes...no...YOU SWITCH!" She yelled into the phone.
"You switch."
"I NO SWITCH! YOU SWITCH US BACK, YOU ANCIENT WITCH!"
"You switch!" The woman yelled, then hung up the phone.
Mal sobbed. She stood up and ran into the kitchen, happy nobody was there, and began to throw things. She hoped it would help calm her, but it just made a mess. Mal saw Audrey's reflection in a shiny pan in the kitchen. "I. HATE. YOU!" Mal yelled. She opened the drawer and said, "I'm gonna wreck your life now, brat!" She pulled out a pair of small scissors and began to cut Audrey's hair. Long pieces, short pieces, badly cut angles, just anything to wreck this hair.
Mal thought it would make her feel better, but it didn't She slid down and laid on the floor, sobbing, and doing something she thought she'd never do. But Audrey had done it and it might of helped her. Mal opened her legs apart and re-opened the cuts on Audrey's thighs, letting the blood ooze from her body.
Her new, damaged, body.
Oh rotten apples, this is not good. This is not good at all.
Nǐ hǎo: Hello.
