Evie's Point of View
Walking towards the Fairy Godmother's office, Evie sighed. She wanted nothing more than to sink into Mal, but instead she held her hand tightly and held a stoic look. She was tired of crying. She wanted to see something done about this gross injustice. Not because it happened to her, but because she knew they had more than likely done it to other girls. At that thought, she flinched, but felt a reassuring squeeze on her hand from Mal.
Mal's Point of View
Mal noticed Evie flinched and felt her eyes turn green with anger, but instead of acting on it, she gave Evie's hand a reassuring squeeze as they walked to the Fairy Godmother's office.
It took what felt like hours. But the rotten four had already arrived. Mal was just about to knock on the door when she saw Evie raise her fist to knock, but stood perfectly still.
Evie's Point of View
"I-I can't do this," said Evie.
"Of course you can," replied Jay, giving Evie's shoulder a reassuring squeeze. At this unexpected touch, Evie flinched and coiled into Mal.
The purple-haired girl looked sternly at Jay, but calmed down when she noticed that Jay looked surprised. They had always been like brothers and sisters, and the fact that Jay's calming touch had messed with Evie…well that had to hurt him.
Jay's Point of View
"I'm sorry, Evie, I know we're all weird about touch sometimes and with everything that happened recently, I know you must be extra sensitive. You're still like a sister to me," Jay said.
"It's okay…" Evie responded, her voice muffled because her face was still inside Mal's shoulders, "But can we just leave?"
At this, Carlos, Jay, and Mal sighed, and were going to leave, but as they were about to walk away, they heard the Godmother's door open.
Fairy Godmother's Point of View
The Fairy Godmother was just about to leave to go eat supper when she ran into Mal, Carlos, Jay, and Evie as she was walking out of her office.
"Oh, what a lovely surprise!" she exclaimed, but upon seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, she asked, "Is there anything I can do for you four?"
"We were just going to supper," said Mal.
"Wait…", said Evie, "we can tell her."
The Fairy Godmother noticed the squeeze Mal gave Evie's hand as if she was brave for doing this.
"Well, come on in, girls and boys."
Evie's Point of View
They all followed Fairy Godmother into her office, which actually looked more like a therapist's office than anything. They had thought it would be purple and glamorous, but it had a big couch with three chairs, a desk and a chair for the Godmother to sit in. It was very clean with a couple of file cabinets. But there was nothing major in the room. This was a shock to the four, but it made Evie feel more at ease.
"Come, sit down wherever you like," the Fairy Godmother said.
They all sat down, Mal and Evie on the couch and Jay and Carlos on the two extra chairs.
"What's going on?" The Godmother questioned.
"Something happened," said Evie, "something terrible happened."
"Oh, was this on the Isle?"
"No, it happened here!" Mal exclaimed angrily.
"Mal, it's okay," said Evie.
At this, Mal looked at Evie questionably but after a few moments, she nodded and calmed down.
"What ever do you mean?" asked the Fairy Godmother
"I…I was raped." Said Evie.
"Wait…what? When?"
"It happened about a month ago at Chad's party, Doug did it...I was drinking and Ben recorded it and I don't want to go into detail but it's on Ben's camera and he threatened to post it if I told anyone."
At this, the Fairy Godmother sighed, "I'm so sorry that happened to you, sweetie. We will have to get the authorities involved and the case may take a while, especially since a member of royalty is one of the accused. But don't think I don't take this seriously. I'm going to call the authorities. You all may be dismissed, but don't be surprised if the authorities come to talk to you soon."
At this, Evie sighed, and gave the Godmother a grateful look.
The Fairy Godmother's Point of View
Upon dismissing the four kids, the Godmother sighed and immediately called the authorities. She then went to Ben's room and demanded he give up his camera along with any form of technology. She also expelled him until further notice pending investigation.
"What? This is so unfair!" cried Ben.
"I don't want to hear it," replied the Fairy Godmother, "Pack your things. I'm calling your parents and explaining the situation. You know what you did."
"Evie's lying" Ben exclaimed.
"If she's lying, how did you know she's who this is about?"
Ben shook his head and packed his stuff.
"Good riddance," thought Fairy Godmother. Ben had always given her a bad feeling, but she was never able to say anything with him being the king and queen's son. After this, she went to Doug's room and demanded all of his technology as well. She also expelled him pending further investigation by the Auradon police.
"This is bullshit," said Doug.
"Language," The Fairy Godmother warned, "I don't care if you think it's bullshit or not. You're expelled pending further investigation. I don't want to hear it."
Evie's Point of View
Jay and Carlos had just dropped Mal and Evie off at their room. And Mal decided to hop in the shower when suddenly, Evie heard a knock at the door. After weighing her options and figuring it was probably one of the boys, she decided to open it.
It was a shock when she saw Doug who grabbed her arm so hard she just knew there was going to be a bruise. Not only that, he had grabbed her where a cut that had just started healing was, and she felt her skin get hot. He whispered into her ear,"I am going to END you for this." And then he pushed her onto her bed and punched her in the stomach, got on top of her, and choked her so hard he left finger marks on her neck. Luckily, she bit him so hard he winced, got up and left, but not before giving her a look that meant she knew she was in trouble.
She winced in pain as she tried to sit up on her and screamed, "MAL!"
Mal's Point of View
Mal was in the shower just about to shave her legs when she heard Evie scream. She immediately turned the water off, wrapped a towel around her, and ran to their room. She ran to Evie's bed, where Evie had a desolate look in her eyes. Upon further examination, she noticed finger like bruises on her neck and blood seeping through her white long-sleeved shirt.
"Oh, Evie, what happened?" she questioned. But Evie just stared blankly.
"I'm gonna put my pajamas on real quick and then we are going to fix you up, okay?" Mal said. Again, there was no response. Evie just looked straight ahead.
Mal sighed, and hurriedly put purple shorts with a tank top on. Then, she hurried over to Evie, and started to take her shirt off, but as she did so, she noticed an extremely red, fist shaped mark on her stomach. At this, she flinched as it gave her flashbacks to her own childhood.
"Evie, I'm going to take your shirt off, okay? So I can look at your arm. Is that okay?" Mal asked.
There was still no response, but Evie did manage to lift her arms so it would be easier for Mal to take her shirt off. Seeing the marks on her neck, arm, and stomach, Mal felt sick to her stomach. However, she had to keep a level head.
"I'm going to get a bandaid where that cut was opened. It doesn't look too bad, but we are going to take you to the nurse in the morning okay? So we can see if that looks any better, alright?"
Again, there was no response, but Mal knew Evie heard her. After bandaging her open wound, giving her some pain killers, and putting pajamas on her, Mal laid down next to Evie in her bed. Soon, Evie had drifted off to sleep. Mal saw how peaceful she looked but knew deep inside, things weren't peaceful at all.
However, Mal also knew things were going to be okay, one day, no matter what that cost.
