Ben and the vks had gone down for breakfast

Jay had apologized to Ben, but the future King had told him that there was nothing to apologize for

Carlos and Mal were deep in thought

They seemed to be talking through their eyes, they were seated one in front of the other, thinking about the Isle, their mothers, their father, they had to come up with a plan

Carlos frowned, Mal shook her head, he nodded and she huffed. Nobody understood what had upset her

Belle and Adam joined them, the moment they saw Jay they started apologizing but after a few awkward moments Jay got up and went to shook hands with the Rulers

FG and Jane were announced by Lumiere, they entered the dining room

Once they had settled down to eat, slowly they all looked at Carlos and Mal who were still talking silently

Belle: "Sorry but.. what are they doing?" she was whispering, afraid to interrupt the connection

Evie smiled: "They are talking.. they can read each other minds, I suppose the subject, in this case, is their father" her smile faltered at the end of her sentence

Jane: "What are we going to do?"

But something interrupted them

Lumiere was at the door of the dining room, he seemed upset and angry: "Sorry to interrupt you, your Majesties. But we have some uninvited guests" he looked at the vks worriedly "Queen Aurora and Queen Leah would like to speak to you" he glanced at Adam and Belle now

The Royal family was speechless, they all turned to Mal at the same time, but said girl wasn't even listening, she was still "talking" to her brother

FG also surprised said worriedly: "If you let them wait they will come here"

Belle nodded

Adam: "Okay, Lumiere lead them in my study"

Lumiere nodded and left

Ben: "What are you going to do?" he was worried

Adam: "No idea, son. You stay here, finish breakfast and go somewhere else" he looked intently at Ben

Belle shook her head and smiled: "They probably want to talk about what happened yesterday at school... FG" the headmistress looked at her Queen "you should come with us and explained to them that Audrey isn't in danger" she rolled her eyes "Queen Leah will probably throw a tantrum again.."

FG: "That's fine with me" she looked at her daughter "Stay with Ben and be good" she looked at Mal, who seemed to hear her somehow and turned "Mal prepare yourself for Aurora and Leah"

Mal was shocked: "Leah is here?"

FG and Belle looked at her concerned, then the Queen asked: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Carlos also looked shocked: "Leah as in Queen Leah?"

FG nodded

Carlos and Mal wore identical expressions and said at the same time: "Queen Leah as in the wife of Stefan? The one that hates our mother? That Leah?"

FG nodded again

The others were trying not to laugh, the twins behaviour was very comical

Carlos and Mal seemed both afraid, they looked at each other, then they got up

Mal: "Maybe we should go"

Carlos: "Yeah.. we... should ehm... we have homework to do and stuff"

Mal was nodding "Yep, stuff"

Ben looked unimpressed and amused: "You got stuff to do?" they nodded "You two realize that FG is the headmistress, who closed the school temporarily which mean you don't have homework or stuff to do, right?"

Mal looked annoyed: "We don't tell you everything we have to do, you know"

Carlos: "Exactly, we have a life that doesn't concern you"

Ben raised an eyebrow: "Really?"

Mal looked at him and then huffed: "Fine, we don't. But I won't be talking to Leah anytime soon, nor will my brother"

Belle: "Why?"

Mal laughed: "She hates our mother. She will be mad at us if she finds out about what we are"

Belle: "We won't tell her"

Mal: "In any case, I don't trust that woman near me or Carlos, so it's a no. We will stay here"

FG: "I just thought that maybe, since you know more about your mother and magic than anyone else here, you could..."

Mal: "We won't"

It was clear to anyone that Mal wasn't going to change her mind anytime soon, FG stared at her, then she nodded and left with Adam and Belle

Carlos: "Well.. let's go somewhere they won't find us"

Mal shook her head: "They won't come here, let's get back to Hades"

Carlos nodded, he was really worried

They sat again and started talking again

Jane: "It seems like we aren't part of the conversation"

Evie smiled at her: "They know the Isle more than anyone, also they are the only two people that escaped Maleficent and are still alive to tell it"

Jay nodded

Ben: "Yeah but I'd like to know"

Jay: "Why?"

Ben: "So I'm prepared for what I'll see"

Jay and Evie started laughing

Ben looked at Jane who simply shrugged

Evie: "You think that you will come with us?"

Ben simply smiled: "Well yeah... I mean.." he looked at Mal

Evie: "No, you won't come with us"

Jay seemed to think about it: "You probably would be safe in the Reformed Part but we are still talking about villains, I don't trust them enough to bring you there"

Ben: "You can't go without me" he sounded like a child

Mal seemed to hear him: "What has gotten you so upset, Benny Boo?"

Ben pouted in her direction and she smiled at him

Jay: "Your Prince thinks that he can come with us, home" he was trying to mess with Ben, Mal wasn't smiling anymore

Ben got up: "I'm coming with you. That's final"

Mal smirked, she got up and approached Ben

Mal: "No" she tilted her head on one side

Ben: "You can't control me" he was trying very hard to not look at her lips but it was impossible

Mal smiled: "Are you sure?" she made her eyes glow

Ben huffed

Mal: "You won't come Ben because you would put yourself in danger. Not only that, but you would also be a liability, I would be worried about you and wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else" she was being serious and honest with him. He had to understand

Ben: "But I want to come"

Mal: "This isn't a trip. We are talking about a bunch of angry villains that would love to torture you and ultimately kill you..." she was angry "You can't come back. Evie and Jay may not be able to come back. I'm not risking my family for a childish boy who didn't know where to stand"

Then it seemed like she was struck by a lightning

Ben looked at her and then at Carlos, he seemed fine

Evie had seen her friend's face: "What is it?"

Mal shivered

Carlos: "Jane, what is going on with you?"

Evie looked at Jane, she had the same expression of Mal: "Both of you sit down"

The girls sat, Mal took Jane's hand and sighed. Their eyes were glowing and their hair was floating

Evie, Jay, and Ben looked at Carlos

Carlos seemed okay: "I told you my magic is more dormant. Maleficent always said that it was probably because Cruella had no magic whatsoever" then he had to sit down because he almost fell over

His magic was more dormant but it was there nonetheless

Meanwhile in the King's study

Adam and Belle were sitting in front of Queen Aurora and Queen Leah, FG was there too

Adam: "To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit, Aurora?"

Aurora smiled: "My apologies, Adam. When Audrey told us about what happened my mother thought this was the only way... we could have called you, at least, to announce our visit but apparently, we had to rush here" she clearly hadn't thought it necessary going to the Castle

Leah: "When Audrey told me about what that wretched child did, I knew we had to come here"

Belle: "Wretched child? I'm sorry to tell you I don't know who you are talking about"

Leah: "Maleficent's daughter, of course"

Aurora: "Mother! Stop it. I already told you that Mal didn't do anything. It was magic who screamed, nobody tried to hurt Audrey"

Adam, Belle, and FG were surprised, to say the least

FG: "You know that magic can scream?"

Aurora smiled a little embarrassed now: "Well.. you know Maleficent basically raised me, she taught me about Magic and how it works"

FG: "You aren't here for the same reason your mother is"

Aurora shook her head: "I want to meet her. Mal. I need to meet Mal"

Adam saw Leah's tantrum coming before she could even process what her daughter had said and intervened: "We'll talk to Mal about it. For now, though, she made it clear that she doesn't want to see you"

Belle: "Dear, Adam..." she shook her head and turned to Aurora who seemed a little offended, "she said that she didn't want to meet one of you specifically" she glanced at Leah

Leah: "How dare she!"

Aurora nodded: "Yeah I can see why... could you tell her that I'd like to talk to her and that I won't attack her?"

Belle nodded: "Of course we can, she is in the dining room right now. I'll go and see what she thinks"

FG looked outside the window for a second, her magic reacted one moment later and she fainted

Adam: "Oh my Goodness, Fairy Godmother!"

They all rushed to the headmistress, even Leah seemed worried

FG, Mal, and Jane opened their eyes at the same moment

FG waked up, she was lying down: "What happened?"

Mal: "My mother happened" she sounded dull

FG looked around and saw that she was on a bed

Carlos seemed distraught, Jane looked exhausted and Mal was paler than ever

FG: "What is going on? Jane, darling are you alright?"

Jane seemed at a loss of words

Mal answered for her: "I think the fact that all four of us didn't use magic for quite a long time lead to this situation"

FG: "What situation?"

Mal: "My mother tried to escape using Carlos and I.. apparently she isn't that crazy and she had a plan C.." she sighed "seeing how close Jane was to me when this happened I guess she reached over to Jane, your daughter who shares her magic with you..."

FG: "Did she escape?"

Mal: "No.. the problem is... I'm afraid she is getting stronger... I came up with a plan, you won't like it though"

FG: "Will it end her forever?"

Mal nodded

FG: "Well I guess I'll go back to be a fairy then"

Mal and Carlos sighed and said together: "Thank Zeus"

Ben seemed confused but for once Jane knew the answer

Jane: "My mother is a fairy, she never stopped being one. The thing is that when the war happened she chose your parents' side, meaning that she picked good. We faires aren't good or evil, we live following other laws that human can't understand"

FG: "What's the plan?"

Mal: "We have to end her.. to kill her"

Here you have a chapter, kind of dark I guess
