Ben wanted to hug Mal, but he knew that Maleficent would have understood that he cared for her and that Mal had lied

So he just smiled to all the vks, shook their hands and hugged Jane

Then they were gone

FG was crying a little, his father was trying to reassure that Jane would be okay

Belle seemed to notice that he was holding back and approached him

Belle: "She is going to be okay"

Ben: "Of course"

Belle: "And she will come back to you"

Ben simply nodded

Belle: "If you think about it, it's the Isle we should worry about. She is a force to reckon with"

Ben smiled a little

Belle: "That's my sweet boy. Everything is going to be okay." she put her arm around his shoulders "Why don't we go inside? Let's go to the library"

Ben followed his mother and tried to distract himself

Maleficent was already starting to plot some way to escape

Mal: "Mother it's enough! Carlos and I are going to bring you home and then we'll go back to Auradon. And we won't kill anyone"

There were two guards with them, they were trying to look relaxed with no result, but Mal couldn't blame them

Carlos: "I now regret not letting you in the Moors"

Evie and Jay were happy to go back and see their parents. Jane was worried and curious

Jane: "We won't have our magic there, right?"

Mal: "No, you won't"

At this Jane looked confused

Jane: "You will?"

Mal nodded

Jane: "How?"

Mal: "I'll tell you once this is over"

Jane nodded, understanding that Mal didn't want Maleficent to know

A few minutes later the limousine stopped and they all got out

Mal: "Finally"

She couldn't wait any longer to get out of the car, her Mother was being her usual insufferable self

Once they were inside the dome, the vks took a deep breath

Jane was looking around like she couldn't believe what she was seeing

Jane: "What is this smell?"

All the vks and Maleficent: "Rotten food"

Maleficent was starting to look paler by minutes

Mal and Carlos knew that it was the Reformed Part affecting her, they told the driver to go back to Auradon

Mal: "All right guys, it's time to divide and conquer"

Evie smiled at her friend: "Good luck and come back soon"

Jay patted Mal's head and Carlos's back

Jane smiled sadly: "Good luck"

Mal, Carlos, and Maleficent started to walk towards a narrow lane and disappeared

Evie: "Let's go"

With that, they started to go in the opposite direction the others had gone

Evie was pointing houses and alleys to Jane, telling stories when they got near a small house

Jay and Evie said at the same time: "Home sweet home"

They were about to knock when the door was open with a force that could have easily unhinge it

A man that looked like an older version of Jay, was standing there, he was a little taller then Jay, black hair and brown eyes, he was tanned

Jane understood who he was a second after he captured Jay and Evie in a bear hug

Jafar let his kids go: "What are you two doing here?"

Evie: "We will explain once inside"

Jafar then seem to notice her presence, it took him a few seconds to recognize her

Jafar: "You brought FG's daughter on the Isle? Are you insane?"

Jay: "If you let us come in we will explain everything"

Jafar nodded and let them in

A female voice: "Jafar, honey, who did you let in?"

The voice got closer and there it was one of the most beautiful women Jane had ever seen, tall, brown hair, black eyes, and fair skin

Grimhilde captured her kids in a bear hug, just like her husband had done a few minutes before, but in a more delicate way

Grimhilde: "Did the King sent you back?" she was worried

Jane couldn't help but compare the stories she had heard all her life and what she was seeing now: two parents like any other, like her mother, normal people. Nothing like the tales that she had learned by memory

Grimhilde noticed her and reacted weirdly, for a second she seemed to retire in her mind and asked with an empty voice: "Annabel?"

Evie: "No, mom. She is FG's daughter, Jane."

Grimhilde seem to return to herself and smiled: "Of course" then she turned to Evie and Jay "did you kidnap her? What is she doing here?"

Jafar: "Why don't we all sit down and drink something? This way Evie and Jay can explain everything"

They sat down and Evie started to tell her parents what had to happen

Maleficent: "I hate the Reformed Part"

Carlos rolled his eyes at the same time Mal did

Mal: "You already told us that, Mother... like a 100 times"

They were walking for hours, they had stopped for half an hour because Maleficent had passed out. The Reformed Part was doing its best to make her sick

Carlos: "We are almost there, Mother. I can feel the electricity, can't you?"

Maleficent nodded

Grimhilde: "Wow... that's an interesting story alright"

Jafar: "And you came here only to see how we live?"

Jane nodded

Jafar laughed a little: "You are a brave little girl"

Jay: "So what's new here?"

Jafar: "You already know what Maleficent has done, Uma was furious. She is at the Castle now, we haven't heard from her since yesterday"

Grimhilde: "I hope Mal and Carlos are okay. The Evil Part was ready for war. Luckily the other Parts felt it and now any evil person that step in them with evil intentions is k.o. in minutes"

Evie nodded

Jane: "Can we go outside? I would like to see more"

Grimhilde was looking at her, sadness in her eyes: "You look so much like her"

A voice interrupted, it was like a whisper

Jafar: "What's that?"

Evie: "I guess FG wants to see you, Jane. Pick up the mirror"

Jane took the mirror out of her bag and there it was her mother, looking very worried

FG: "Jane! Are you okay?"

Jane laughed a little: "Mom I'm fine. We arrived at Evie and Jay's home hours ago"

FG: "Oh okay. Is Grimhilde with you?"

Jane nodded and put the mirror on the table to let her mother see Grimhilde, that was now paler than a ghost

FG: "Grimhilde"

Grimhilde was tense: "Annabel"

FG: "You look even more beautiful then I remember"

A tear rolled down Grimhilde's face, but she smiled

Grimhilde: "So do you"

FG: "Your kids are very kind and smart, just like you were. You did a great job. Jafar, you too"

Jafar was near Grimhilde, trying to give his wife comfort: "Thank you, Annabel. Your daughter is one special girl to come here to see how we live"

FG: "She truly is. Jane?"

Jane turned the mirror to herself: "I'm here"

FG: "Jane dear, behave, and don't do anything reckless, all right?"

Jane nodded

FG: "Well. I'll see you tonight"

Carlos: "Finally"

Mal: "Home rotten home"

Maleficent sighed in relief and took the last few steps to enter in the Evil Part

Carlos and Mal looked at each other and then followed her

The trio felt the electricity immediately, Maleficent looked way better

Mal: "Nice. Now let's get you home"

Maleficent: "There is the Castle"

Mal: "Yeah I know"

They resumed the trip

It was late in the afternoon and they weren't even halfway through

Mal: "We would be already there if you could speed up a little Mother"

Maleficent: "Don't you disrespect me or..."

Mal: "Or what?" she laughed "You can't hurt us anymore."

The cuffs that kept Maleficent tied were still on, Mal was getting tired, she was using her magic for the mirror and the cuffs, but she couldn't not fight with Maleficent

Carlos: "Shhh, someone is coming"

They hide under a porch and kept silence

Carlos looked at Mal, they had a few enemies who would be very happy to know that they were back, but with Maleficent under their supervision, they couldn't fight anyone

They let a few minutes pass, they heard someone approaching

Three people, they were outnumbered. Mal knew they were in real danger only when they heard who had approached their hideout

Gaston: "I know what I heard"

A male voice: "They are in Auradon, it's impossible"

Gaston: "Is it? They could be back" someone was punched "And don't you ever insinuate that I'm wrong"

Maleficent: "He knows the verb insinuate"

She was whispering, she too had a few enemies that would be happy to take advantage now that she was weak, one of them: Gaston

Mal and Carlos smiled at her comment

The other man: "Let's go back to the saloon"

Gaston: "All right, let's go"

The trio heard the three men go away but waited a little more to be sure then Carlos got out of his hiding to check

Carlos: "They are gone" still whispering

Mal nodded and got out, followed by Maleficent

Maleficent: "Let's hurry" she started walking faster now

Jane: "They are safe, aren't they?"

Evie was relaxed like she had never seen her, in the minute they had got out of the car Jay and Evie had relaxed. Jay couldn't stop smiling, Evie was even more cheerful. Jane was wondering if she looked like them when she was in Auradon, but she knew the answer. No. With people like Audrey around she couldn't truly relax. Here on the other hand, if you didn't breath it wasn't so bad.

Grimhilde had stayed in the house while Jafar, Jay, and Evie had guided her in a tourist trip through their "block" and its surroundings; it wasn't too dirty, the kids that were walking around seemed happy

Once they had reached the market though... she couldn't help but miss Auradon, at the same time she couldn't help but hate Auradon

The smell was awful and the sight was worse

From what Jafar told her the Evil Part was far worse, that didn't help Jane

But she made a promise to herself, she would go back to Auradon and tell everything to Ben who would make it right

Evie: "No, they aren't. But I'm sure that they are being careful. They will be okay" she didn't sound so sure about the last sentence but Jane didn't ask

Jay: "Jane are you ready for a real Isle's meal?"

Jane: "Yes, I'm very hungry" she was about to say 'starving' but she had remembered where she was just in time, Evie and Jay surely noticed but didn't say anything about it

Jay: "Lucky you" he laughed "Mom made her special meal just for you"

Jane: "Oh, but she didn't have to"

Jay: "Don't worry. She is happy"

Jafar called them, dinner was ready

When Jane sat down and looked at her plate, she understood the behavior of the vks during their first dinner in Auradon. However she didn't say anything, she simply looked at Jay and Evie and they understood

They ate their dinner, Grimhilde asked her about her mother, Evie and Jay told their parents everything about Auradon, Jafar seemed particularly proud of Jay, Carlos, and Mal for joining the Tourney team, while Grimhilde asked Evie about the school and the various subjects

Jane thought this was a normal family dinner

Jafar and Jay started to clear the table while Evie closed every window and the door, Grimhilde was upstairs

Jane was standing there looking at the family routine

Grimhilde came down: "I organized a little the room"

Evie nodded and then yawned

Grimhilde: "My little princess is tired?"

Evie smiled: "Very. It has been a stressful couple of days"

Grimhilde nodded

They stayed up for a while and then Evie led her to the room they would share

Evie: "Here is the room. We used to sleep here in four, with Carlos and Mal"

Jane: "There is no bed"

Evie smiled: "No, no bed. But we have a nest. It's formed by old clothes or blankets..."

Jane sighed: "I'm so deeply sorry Evie"

Evie: "I know. But it's not your fault"

Jane: "It doesn't help... Your normal dinner is like a third of what my normal dinner has been all my life, you don't have beds..." she shook her head and the tears she was holding back started to roll down her face "How can someone do something like this and called himself a good person?"

Evie got near her and hugged her: "I don't know, Jane. But you are different from them. You came here to see it for yourself. You haven't complained about anything. And you are taking responsibility for something you didn't do and couldn't stop... You are a good person"
