I got this prompt back in September by Guest. It's been a long time since I've started this but I have finally finished it. I hope you like it Guest. Please read and review. Becky is my OC. This was its own story but I deleted it and added it to my one shot collection. I don't own Descendants.
Since Cotillion it's been hard for Mal, not about being King Ben's girlfriend, that was over, but more turning into a dragon. Everyone in Auradon was shocked when they found out that Mal had the ability to turn into a dragon just like her mother, Maleficent. Mal turns into a dragon to protect someone or a group of people, and ever since her protective instincts have been going haywire. From Evie pricking her finger on a needle to Becky falling down, Mal wanted to turn into a dragon. She can't tell Ben, or any of her friends, they would worry all about it. She can't tell an adult, they would most likely worry too. She can't keep it to herself, that happened last time and she went back to the Isle. It seemed like Mal's answer was hidden in a haystack. Mal went on with this for a few days.
Mal was feeding the lizard of Maleficent, when she heard a knock at her door. "Come in," Mal said.
"Hi Mal." Becky greeted, tear stains on her face.
"Becky what's wrong?" Mal worried. Her eyes started to glow green and purple smoke began to form around Mal.
"Mal!" Becky clapped her hands. "Mal, I'm fine, I just was playing with Jay and Carlos and I got knocked over and I scraped my knee." The magic around Mal disappeared. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Mal lied.
"Mal what's wrong and please don't lie to me?" repeated Becky.
"You're right I'm not fine, I've wanted to turn into a dragon about a million times since Cotillion for every small thing. I can't tell Ben or any of my friends or any adult because then it would only get worse." Mal ranted.
"You told me." Becky laughed.
"What?" Mal asked, confused.
"Which means two things," Becky goes on. "Either, you really needed to tell someone this and it just came out without you thinking, or I'm not your friend, which if that is true, then that's really sad because I see you as one of my friends. Anyways none of that matters because I'm going to help you." Mal, still very confused, quickly told the young princess that it would not be necessary. Becky, though, would not take no for an answer. "Mal, you said it yourself that you need help and I'm the only one that knows that you have this problem, so let me help you. Plus I like dragons. I asked Mommy and Daddy if I could have a pet dragon and all I got was a stuffed animal one."
Mal sighed. "You're right. I guess you can help, but you can't tell anybody about this."
"I promise." Becky promised. The next time that Becky was at Auradon Prep the two met in Mal's dorm room. "Okay Mal, your first lesson is how to calm down. Your going to sit here and close your eyes and just breathe in and out." Mal followed the instructions and ten minutes later Mal opened her eyes and looked over at Becky.
"I thought you were doing this with me?" Mal asked Becky, who was playing with toys.
"I am three years old I can't sit still and be quiet for long." Becky explained. "The teachers at school make us do this and it's not as long as you did it."
"Okay, what now?" Mal questioned.
"Nothing, the lesson is over." Becky answered.
"What?" Mal said. But Becky didn't reply, all she did was pick up her toys and leave the room. Becky told Mrs. Potts what happened with Jay and Carlos, and the next Tuesday that Becky went to school with Ben, Mrs. Potts insisted that Becky took three bandages with her, just in case. Becky didn't plan on playing with the boys though, she planed on helping Mal. Around one in the afternoon Becky came to Mal's dorm room with a one of the bandages on. When she got there and Mal saw her, Mal immediately started to worry. The glowing green eyes and purple smoke started to appear.
"Mal, you have to remember that you have to remain calm. If I come in hurt you have to breath and calm down before asking me what's wrong." Becky reminded.
"Yeah, okay." Mal said.
"And I'm fine." Becky assured before leaving. On Thursday Becky went beck to Auradon Prep. Again around one o'clock, Becky went to Mal's room to see her, with another bandage. This time only the teens eyes glowed green.
"You're doing better. Just remember to calm down." Becky told Mal.
"Bye, Becky," Mal waved as Becky left once again.
On the Tuesday Becky was playing with the boys and fell, scraping her knee. It really hurt but she lied to Jay and Carlos that she was fine. She was late for Mal's next lesson anyway. Arriving with the last bandage on her knee, Becky was actually crying and in pain this time. Mal, on the other hand, went through everything calm and collected. There was no sign of worry at all.
"Congratulations Mal, you have passed. You didn't want to turn into a dragon this time." Becky congratulated.
"You're right," Mal realized. "Thanks Becky for all your help."
"You're welcome," Becky said.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Mal inquired, wiping some tears from Becky's face.
"Yep, I'm fine," Becky responded. Mal and Becky walked out of the dorm room together. Mal came out happier than she ever has sines Cotillion, she finally has her protective and dragon instincts under control.
