Evie singing
Mal singing
Singing together
So Ben invited Evie, Jay and Carlos over from the isle 2 years ago. There hadn't been any incidents to speak of apart from a few small thefts (Jay), a magic mirror accused of being used to cheat (Evie) and a fear of dogs to get over (Carlos).
Today was family day at auradon prep and they couldn't wait!
Tonight everyone was going to perform in the first all-school family talent show! All week girls had been gossiping and giggling and guys had been showing off their skills for the big night. The real treat though was that the VKs that Ben had brought over from the isle would be performing first!
There had been whispers all week about who would perform and what they would do. Some thought that they would do dark magic or Jay would hypnotise people. Other, who weren't so biased, though they might tell them some stories from the isle or sing or something. They were half right.
That night Evie walked up to the stage... Alone
Confused muttering range through the hall as Evie raised the microphone to her lips. what was said next was never forgotten.
*****Evie's 3rd person POV*****
"Um...Hi!" She stated somewhat lamely, "Er, thank you all for coming and..." She cleared her throat. She could do this. She would do this. For Mal. "have a good evening!" Glancing around nervously, she cleared her though again. "Tonight I am going to sing a song I use to sing with my best friend from the isle." More mutterings, she could feel the sweat on her face and neck. "I ask you to please not be afraid of anything you see or hear...I..." She took a deep breath, she could do this. "Her name was Mallory. Though everyone called her Mal." People kept muttering, someone shouted 'Get on with it' from the crowd before being shushed.
She gave a forced smile in the direction of the voice before turning back to the front. "She died." Evie Stated, "3 years before we were invited to come here." Silence now filled the Hall. "She's still here in a way though.." She broke off as the fairy god-mother said: "Only in memories dear, its never good to look back on the past." She smiled like Evie was going to apologise for what she said. Evie however just tightened her grip on her Mic and raised her head. "You'll see." Was all she said before she began to sing.
A soft piano played in the back round as she sang;
I didn't know what you were going through
I thought that you were fine
Why did you have to hide?
Gasps rang out as a ghostly apparition appeared behind her. Evie didn't turn, not even when the apparition began to sing.
I didn't want to let you down
But the truth is out
It's tearing me apart, not listening to my heart
I really had to go
"Mal." Whispered Ben. The whisper was echoed all around the Hall. Evie wasn't wrong, Mal was still here.
And I would never stop you
Evie turned to Mal looking her right in the eyes
Even though it changed
Evie looked heartbroken as she sang;
Nothing has to change
the girl that was Mal looked into Evie's eyes.
And you can find me in the space between
Where two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach
'Cause you're a part of me so you can find me in the space between
You'll never be alone
No matter where you go
We can meet in the space between
Mal looked away and walked to the edge of the stage staring at something none of them could see.
And nothing can stay the same
It's growing pains
For the first time, people noticed the black eye, the scars on her cheeks disappearing into the tp of her jacket, and the dried blood on the side of her head. This must be how she had died. A blow to the head perhaps?
Be proud of all the scars
Evie walked up to Mal and even though she was a ghost they swore they saw her fingers make contact with her cheek just where her biggest scar was.
They make you who you are (oh, Woah)
I know you have to stay
Mal leaned into Evie as she sang the next line
But I'll never really leave you
Evie had tears running down her face now and she shook her head at her.
Nothing has to change even though it changed
And they launched into the chorus, turning hand clasped together as they faced to the filled hall
And you can find me in the space between
Where two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach
'Cause you're a part of me so you can find me in the space between
You'll never be alone
No matter where you go
We can meet in the space between
There are no words left to say
Evie holds Mal's hands as she sings
I know you gotta find your place
But this is not the end (no)
You're part of who I am
Even if we're worlds apart
You're still in my heart it will always be you and me, yeah
You can find me in the space between
Where two worlds come to meet
I'll never be out of reach (I'll never be out of reach) no
'Cause you're a part of me so you can find me in the space between
Mal and Evie lean their foreheads together and start to sing softer.
You'll never be alone
No matter where you go
We can meet in the space between, yeah
No matter where you go no matter where you go
They turn to the audience again and hold up their hands which are still holding each other. (Like it the film)
We can meet in the space between
Mal image faded away and Evie was left standing alone on the stage. "Thank-You" Was all she said as she walked from the stage, tears running down her cheeks.
