Everyone waited with baited breath as they watched a teary eyed Bree, all were waiting to hear her answer to Malice's question. Mal was beyond happy to be there for this moment, to see her twin brother propose to the love of his life. "Yes." Bree whispered, causing a disbelieving look to pass over Malice's face.
"Yes?" He asked the brunette, wanting to be sure he had heard her correctly.
"Yes." She repeated, nodding her head to him. Malice smiled as he slipped the ring onto Bree's finger and stood up. The brunette princess immediately pulled her fiancee in for a passionate kiss.
Cheers erupted from everyone present as Ben and Mal rushed towards their respective twins, hugging them once they were in reach. "Congratulations M." Mal congratulated her brother before her and Ben swapped. The purplette wrapped her arms around Bree while Ben and Malice hugged each other. "Welcome to the family Bree." She said to the brunette, a large smile plastered across her face. Mal was beyond happy she had been here to see her brother get engaged, she just hoped she would be there for the wedding.
Slipping her hand in her pocket she felt the familiar item that was there. The purplette took a step back from the group and watched as everyone else hugged her brother and Bree. It was strange. She hadn't been there for four years but it still felt like home. The purple haired woman was more confused than ever about what to do. So with one last look at her family she slipped out of the room and found herself instinctively heading to the one place in the castle she always found calming. Belle's library. She just hoped the woman wouldn't mind her being in there. Sure she had told the purplette she was welcome in the library whenever she wished but that had been before she had ran away.
Entering the familiar room Mal released a breath she wasn't aware she was even holding. She had a lot to think about and she needed to be alone for it. But unknown to Mal someone had seen her leave and had followed her. As Mal leaned against the door a loud knock sounded around the room, making the purplette jump in surprise. Carefully Mal took a few steps away from the door, not sure who would be knocking on it. Until she heard a very familiar voice on the other side. "Mal, please open the door." With a wave of her hand, the purplette opened the door to reveal Audrey. Smiling she stepped into the library, closing the door behind her. "What's wrong? You're not running away again are you?" She asked the purple haired young woman.
Mal couldn't help but sigh. Her and Audrey had been like sisters before she had disappeared, she even considered Aurora to be like a mother figure in her life. She she looked at the worry in Audrey's face, Ben's words came back into her mind and she immediately felt bad for leaving the way she did. They at least deserved a note explaining that she had to leave but was safe. "No, I'm not running away. I just don't know if I can stay." She admitted to the tanned brunette.
Sighing Audrey quickly stepped forward and embraced the young woman, an embrace mal immediately returned. The two women stood like that for a few minutes before Audrey spoke. "Mal" She started to say as she stepped out of the embrace, but instantly grasped both of the purplette's hands in her own. "We all love you no matter what. We don't care why you left, we all know you will have had your reasons but we don't want to lose you again. We were all lost without you. Malice, Ben, Bree, their parents, me and my mom especially. We're all here for you. I can't force you to stay but please don't cut us out of your life again. None of us could handle it if you did." She explained. With one last hug Audrey left Mal to her own thoughts.
Once the door was closed once more Mal slumped into the chair behind her. She instantly became lost in thought as stayed like that for a good few hours. She only snapped out of her thoughts when a knock echoed around the room. Assuming it was Audrey again Mal magicaly opened the foor, but was shocked by the sight of Ben, Bree, Malice, Belle and Adam. "Are you okay Mal?" Malice asked his twin sister.
Nodding Mal shook herself out of her shock before she spoke. "Yeah, but could you come in and close the door? I need to talk to you."
