Hey everyone! Sorry for the wait, but I had a lot of homework to do. Hope this one is at least a bit better than the others. Hope you enjoy!

"Maleficent...?! But... But... How? I thought we got rid of her! Well... Mostly..." Said Carlos, trying not to panic, as all but those from Seabrook were almost doing already. "Well, she did only turn into a lizard... We didn't completely get rid of her..." Said Mal. "Besides. I said maybe. Not for sure, so please no panicking."

"Uh. I don't mean to interrupt, but.. um.. why is there a very dark purple and grey cloud...? That doesn't look natural..." Said Eliza, who, until right then, had been pretty quiet. "Ok... So... Carlos, ya know how I said 'no panicking' before? Well... I guess you can panic a tiny bit." Said Mal, staring at the dark cloud with wide eyes. "Nah. I want to, I'm terrified right now, but I don't think I can... If this a nightmare, then I'm stuck." Said Carlos, quite honestly hoping it was just a nightmare.

"Addy, this is a bit odd still. The day was perfectly normal, until we got here and now we're apparently dealing with someone named Maleficent, who is also apparently evil enough that she terrifies everyone in this place, wherever we are." Said Zed, looking around at the once full, now empty park. "Yeah... But I suppose almost every day has some kind of weird surprise. I've gotten sorta used to it." "True. Very true." Said Zed, shrugging.

Suddenly, something they did not want to happen happened. "Hellooooo! Did you miss me, Mal? You know I'm very disappointed in you. Don't think that even in my... Small, reptilian state I didn't see and hear everything." "Mom, how did you...?" Asked Mal.

"Shush, child. Being a tiny little lizard didn't shrink my evil. It didn't shrink my power. I was still Maleficent, Queen of the moors, mistress of evil, blah blah blah... Now I'm here to destroy Auradon, and don't try to stop me this time, I've gotten a bit stronger since last time." Said Maleficent, and with a cackle she disappeared in a cloud of smoke, leaving everyone coughing a bit with burning eyes.

"Great. Of course she's stronger." Said Jay. "Umm... Who exactly is Maleficent? I mean, I know she was that woman who just... Disappeared a few seconds ago, but why is she so evil and terrifying?" Asked Zed, curiously.

"Well... She wasn't that bad untill she wasn't invited to princess Aurora's christening ceremony thing, that's when she went evil. I don't really know much more, she never really talked about it. But I wish there was a way to change that. I used to love being the daughter of the Queen of the Isle, Queen of the moore, and mistress of evil, and looking forward to ruling after her, being crazy powerful and all that, but... Not so much anymore." Replied Mal, with a hint of sadness.

"Oh. Maybe there is a way to fix this?" Suggested Addison, hopefully. "I doubt it. She's pretty stubborn, and she probably won't listen. I don't think she wants to go back." Said Mal, shaking her head slightly.

Meanwhile, the werewolves were watching Carlos with interest. "He's not like the others. Something seems... Different. I'm not sure what." Said Willa. "Yeah. He seems to have a strong bond with that dog. Not a normal, everyday master-pet bond, it's more of a strong connection... I'm curious." Agreed Wyatt. Wynter nodded, eyeing Carlos.

As usual, please review! Sorry for the kinda crazy, squished-together look of the other chapters, I'm gonna try to work on that. Hope you like it, and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Hope y'all are wearing blue or green, if not I'm gonna have to pinch ya through the Internet. ;) :)
