Chapter 2

2 days after coronation

Mal's Point of view

I wake up and looks around the room. This is not my room; I sit up a little to fast and feel the pain returning in my back "oh my god" I take a deep breath and tries to control the pain. The door to the room opens and someone walks in, but I cannot look at them, as the pain in my back is getting worse.

" Mal, sweetie it is okay" I recognize the voice and it is Belle's. I try to answer her but the pain prevents me from doing it. "Sweetie I need you to breath for me. In and out" I do as she says and slowly she lays me back down.

"Where am I? This is not my room" I look at her confused

"You are in the castle. And before you ask, no Ben does not know you are here" She moves me onto my side and holds something warm against my back. I feel my muscles relax. "Does it help with the pain?"

"Yes, thank you Belle." I close my eyes.

"I think we should have Fairy Godmother take a look at your back, maybe she knows what is going on and can help" I open my eyes and looks at her a little scared "sweetie, I only want you to get better" I nod. "I'll go and get her then" she kisses my forehead and looks at me worriedly. Then she gets up and leaves the room, closing the door behind her. I stay on my side, as my back does not hurt as much when I'm like this. I close my eyes and relax as much as I possibly can, but suddenly my head starts hurting really badly, I feel like someone is pressing on it from the inside. I start screaming, as the pain is too much. The door opens and I hear three people rushing in, but before I can react everything goes black.

Belle's point of view

"I'm telling you Fairy Godmother that something is really wrong with Mal, her back is hurting her and she was a little warm when I touched her forehead" I look at her worriedly "I'm scared that Maleficent might have done something to her"

"Oh, don't you worry dear. It is probably from a fall when she was fighting her mother, but I'll take a look and see if I have to bibbidi-bobbidi do something" I nod still having that uneasy feeling inside me. As we turn the corner we run straight into my husband. He looks at us confused.

" Fairy Godmother, I did not know that you were coming to visit us today" He looks at me.

"It is for an emergency your highness" Fairy Godmother says making Adam look at her. "I'm just here to check on something and then I'll leave again" she smiles and looks at me. I nod agreeing with her excuse. As Adam is about to respond we hear a scream.

"MAL!" I run to her room and open the door. Adam and Fairy Godmother follows me. I run to Mal's side "sweetie, what is it, what is hurting please, I cannot help you if you do not give me a sign or something" She points to her head "your head is hurting, okay. Fairy Godmother" I look at Fairy Godmother "can you please help me hold Mal?" She nods and walks to the bed she sits behind Mal and helps her stay on her side, as she runs her hand down Mal's back she gasps. I look at her "What is it" Adam steps forward as well, ready to hear what is going on with his son's girlfriend.

"I need to see her back" she starts moving Mal's shirt to see her back. Adam moves to Mal's back and helps Fairy Godmother hold her on her side. As she gets the shirt of, both her and Adam gasp.

"What is it?" I look at them. Adam keeps holding her but looks absolutely horrified.

"She is getting wings" I look at him and then at Mal, I feel her head where she mentioned it hurt and feels two small bumps in her hair.

"And horns" I look at Adam "Auradon will never accept this" I run my hand over her cheek and look at the girl in front of me who have been through so much in her life already "what are we going to do?"

"We could send her back to the isle" I look at my husband like he is insane "Belle we do not have any other choice. We'll tell Ben that she left because she decided that she did not feel right being here after all and that it was a lie she told at coronation."

" You cannot be serious" I stand up "she is sick, if you send her back to the isle she might die! Is that what you want?" I can feel the tears falling down my cheeks. "She is only 16 years old, she defeated her mother to save our kingdom, and you want to send her away?" He looks down and nods. "Fine, but I'm leaving with her, I'm not letting her go through this on her own!" He looks at me shocked

"Belle.." But he does not get the chance to say anymore as Mal moves onto her back and looks at him. "Mal.."

"Can I at least go to somewhere else than the isle?" she takes a deep breath "I'll be killed the moment I get there for being a traitor" She close her eyes and whisper "please" before falling asleep again. I look at my husband and he seems to have made up his mind about Mal leaving and there is no way to change his mind.

"I'll go pack my things, because I'm not letting her go alone" he looks down and nods. I leave the room and walks to my bedroom. I pack a bag with most of my less formal dresses and some shoes, then I grab pictures of Ben, Adam and me, I put them in the bag and looks around the room, I feel the tears coming again but whips them away and leaves the room. As I get back to Mal's room I see her sitting up in bed, I walk to her side and sits down. "Are you ready to go down to the car?" She nods and slowly stands up.

"Fairy Godmother gave me something to take most of the pain while we travel" I nod and kiss her hair.

"Let's go before anyone else discovers us" she nods and walks out with me. We get down to the garage and I go to my car putting my things in the trunk.

"Don't you have to say bye to Ben and Adam?" I close the trunk and looks at her.

"No, we'll be back when you are feeling better, so there is no need to make it seem like I'll be gone forever" I walk to her and helps her into the car then gets into the drivers seat and pulls out of the garage and drives of.

"Is it okay if I sleep for a while, the medication Fairy Godmother gave me have made me really sleepy" I smile at her

"You do not have to ask permission, go to sleep sweetie, I'll wake you up when we get there I promise" she smiles and close her eyes and only minutes later she is asleep. Now next stop is the Moors.
