Mal was currently stood in her room giving her appearance a once over. Belle had gone with Ella to pick out some new outfits and the purplette had decided to take a trip to Auradon and see how things went. She couldn't take Belle if people hated her for leaving the way she did. With a deep breath Mal felt the familiar pull of transportation as she took herself to the centre of Auradon.

As the purple smoke cleared she realized she had transported herself outside of Auradon Prep. She couldn't help but smile as she noticed that nothing had changed but she was confused as to why she was here. She was supposed to have transported herself to Ben. But that was when she realized she had originally thought of Ben but her thoughts transferred to Malice, her twin brother. It was then she noticed the front doors open and a familiar head of blonde and purple hair was seen.

The purple haired woman was debating on whether or not she should get his attention, but the choice was taken out of her hands when Malice looked up. "Mal!?" He exclaimed in shock as he walked over to his sister.

"Hi, Malice." She responded, already feeling tears building in her eyes.

Seconds later the purplette found herself in the familiar embrace of her brother. She couldn't stop the tears from falling down her face if she tried but Mal wasn't sure if they were happy tears or not. She was beyond happy to be back with her twin after four years but she also knew it was going to hurt if she left and didn't come back. She was beginning to regret her decision to come back for a day.

"God, Mal. Where have you been? I've been worried sick." He told her and she could hear the tears in his eyes but he refused to let her go. The purplette felt bad for all the stress she had caused him but her elaving was what was best for her. She just hoped he would understand.

Mal was finally able to step back out of her brothers embrace and sure enough there were tears in his eyes. But she wasn't ready to stop the contact they had going so she grasped both his hands in her own, locking her gaze onto his. "I'm really sorry." She apologized to him. The purplette knew her brother deserved an explanation, she just prayed he would forgive her. "I just had to get away. Too much had gone on and leaving was best for me. I would have told you but you would have tried to convince me to stay and I just couldn't. I had to leave." She explained and was surprised when an understanding look came over his face.

A barely audible sigh passed Malice's lips and a sad smile spread across his face. "I understand." He told her, shocking her. "I don't like the fact you left without leaving a note or at least letting us all know you were okay, but if you leaving was the best thing for you then I can't hold it against you." Malice said. "Does you being here mean you're coming home?"

"I don't know Malice, it's complicated." She told him and she immediately noticed the confused look on his face. "It's not just me I have to think about anymore." Mal admitted.

To say Malice was shocked would be an understatement. "I'm an uncle?" He asked, his voice quiet and soft as he spoke. It was almost like he thought if he said it too loud then it would turn out not to be true. A large smile broke out on his face as Mal nodded to him. "Niece or nephew?"

As Mal looked at the happy look on his face she couldn't help but smile herself. "A three year old niece." She stated as she pulled her phone out of her pocket. The purple haired woman loaded a picture of her daughter before turning her phone so her brother could see it. "Her name is Isabelle Evelyn, but she prefers being called Belle." Mal told her twin who was smiling fondly at the picture on the screen. It was one of Bree and Belle that she had taken a the other day.

The look of love on Malice's face said a thousand words to Mal. "Could you send me that? I have the same number as before." He asked and taking her phone back she nodded and sent him it immediately. He smiled as he saved the photo to his own phone before setting it as his screensaver. "Do you have to rush off or can you stay for a while?" He asked his sister, not ready for his twin to leave again just yet.

Smiling Mal responded "No I can stay for a while. Let's go see the others." With that the two linked arms and began the short walk to Castle Beast, Mal just hoped everyone would have a similar reaction to Mal and not be angry with her.
