*A couple of hours later*

*Evie's POV*


After leaving Ben and Mal's suite Carlos and Jay left to go to ROAR practice I decided that I would go and work on Mal's wedding dress. Since Mal has returned I had been able to reclaim my sewing room at Auradon Castle; as even though Uma tried to get me to be her royal dresser. But apparently as I was 'disobedient', 'lazy' and lacking the vision for Uma as I hadn't made her one single dress she 'discarded' me. But this didn't matter to me; what mattered to me was finding Mal and bringing her back home - and I was glad at the fact that she was back where she belonged.

When I sat in my office I glanced at the Taylor's dummy with Mal's wedding dress on it and I couldn't help but smile at it. It hadn't taken me long to make her dress; and there were still some finishing touches to do as I wanted to make it more Isle chic. However I didn't want to do anything without Mal's say so. So with this thought in mind I quickly picked up my sketch pad and sketched her dress with the additional changes. I smiled at the sketch and decided that I wanted to show Mal; yes I know that she went for a nap - but that was over an hour and a half ago. So I eagerly stood up and quickly left the room; eager to see what my sister thought about the changes to her wedding dress.


After knocking Ben and Mal's bedroom door a handful of times I slowly opened the door; and my face dropped when I looked over to their bed to see that the bed looked like it hadn't even been slept in.

"MAL!" I called out and my breathing started to quicken at the fact that she hadn't answered me.

"MAL WHERE ARE YOU?" I shouted and I gasped and started to feel my body start to shake as my stomach to flutter. She can't have left us again! I quickly ran into the bathroom to see that she wasn't there. I needed to find her! So with this in mind I quickly left Ben and Mal's suite hoping that she was with Ben as I knew that they had planned to spend the afternoon together - so this is where she surely must be.

"Oh hey Evie" Ben grinned as I walked into his offered. "Family time over?" He smiled as he placed a folder and pen down onto his desk.

"Yeah" I nodded. "It finished quite a while ago actually" I advised.

"Right?" He questioned slowly in confusion. "So where's Mal?" He asked as his face dropped and I could tell that he was scared in case Mal had left again. Something that I wouldn't tell Mal is that I saw how badly this situation had actually affected Ben. I had held him when we both silently cried over the fact that we didn't know where Mal was and we didn't know if we were any closer to finding her. The moment she rang me to ask me for help to say that I was relieved was an understatement! Mal was my sister, my best friend and my confident and I had felt completely lost without her. Yes it had been the core four who came to Auradon together and we had all built a family bond; but I couldn't really have girl talk with Carlos or Jay. And when I saw that she was heavily pregnant I fully understood why she had done what she had done; and I accepted this.

"That is what I was just about to ask you" I stated.

"What?" Ben said slowly as he stood up. "When was the last time you saw her?" He muttered.

'A couple of hours ago" I answered. "She went into your bedroom saying that she needed a nap" I added.

"Oh no!" He exclaimed. "Please tell me that she hasn't gone!" He cried as his voice broke as he quickly walked around his desk and towards me. I hoped the same thing; Mal couldn't leave us again! It would kill us all to lose not only her but Edward again! However I couldn't find her; and just like last time she hadn't gave any hint that anything was wrong - and I hoped to Lucifer that we were about to be proven wrong!
