3 days after coronation

Ben's point of view

Since coronation things have been crazy, there have been so many meetings and appointments that I have not had any time to see Mal. I spoke to Evie the other day and she said Mal was tired after everything that happened at my coronation, and I can understand that because she had to use more magic than she have ever done before. However, I'm still worried about her, as I haven't heard from her at all the last couple of days. I walk to her room and knocks on the door, after a few seconds the door is opened by Evie.

"Ben, what are you doing here?" she says and I can see in her eyes that she is not being mean but that she is confused.

"I'm here to see Mal?" I try to look around her "To see if she is feeling better"

"She is not here Ben, I thought she was at the castle. There was a note from her 2 days ago that she had gone to the castle because she wasn't feeling well and could get the best help there." I'm so confused right now. Has Mal been at the castle without me knowing it? "You didn't know that she was at the castle?" I shake my head no.

"I have to go" I turn and walk away from their room

"Ben, wait" I turn and see Evie running towards me "I'm coming with you. I just have this feeling that something is really wrong" I nod and we both start walking again. We get to the front of the school where a car is waiting; my driver is holding the door open for me

" Take us to the castle, please" I get in and Evie follows behind me. My driver closes the door and gets into the drivers seat and starts driving. I look at Evie, who is looking outside; I can feel how worried she is about Mal so I take her hand, which makes her look at me "She is hopefully okay now and is enjoying people taking care of her, which is why she hasn't gone back to your room" She nods and looks outside again, I sigh and looks out my window. Before I know it we are at the castle and I get out before my driver has time to actually stop the car. I walk to the door and open it, I look behind me and see Evie following close behind me. I look around the front room "Mom!" I start running up the stairs towards the library "Dad!" as I run past my dad's office the door opens. I stop and see my dad standing in the door "Dad, is Mal here? She left a note in her room that claimed she was here, but I haven't seen her" I feel a hand on my shoulder; I look and see that it is Evie. My dad looks at the ground.

"Why don't you come in and sit down, both of you" He turns and walks into his office. I look at Evie and see that she seems just as confused as I feel. I put my hand on her back and leads her into the office. We both sit down and look at my dad

"Dad, what is going on?"

"The day after coronation your mom had mal brought here, she was in pain and didn't feel well" Why the hell wasn't I informed about this, Evie said she was just sick. I look at Evie and see the look in her eyes, she doesn't understand what my dad means. "Yesterday Mal woke up and the pain was worse than ever. Your mom went to get Fairy Godmother and I ran into them in the hall. Mal started screaming because of the pain, that was when I found out that she was here" he stops speaking and looks out the window.

"And then what happened?"

" Well I" He looks at me "I left to grab some things as did Fairy Godmother and when we returned your mom and Mal were gone. There was no note or anything. We believe that Mal might have been faking her pain to be able to take your mother." I hear a gasp next to me and look at Evie. I notice the tears running down her cheeks

"Mal would never do that" she looks at me "Ben, you cannot believe this lie that your dad is telling"

"You're calling me a liar? Well then explain where my wife is!" he stands up making his chair fall over behind him "You were probably a part of the plan all along pretending that Mal was in pain"

"Why would I do that, I do not want to go back to the isle. Here we have fresh food and clean water, why would I want to risk that?" She starts crying into her hands and whispers "what have you done Mal?" I put my hand on her knee.

"I thought she wanted to change" I look at my dad " I guess I was wrong" I get up then helps Evie stand up and walk with her to the door. I stop and look at my dad. "I want all guards to go and look for mom." He nods "And if any country is helping Mal, we declare war" He looks at me shocked. I lead Evie out of the room and to the car " Let's get you back to school Evie" she nods and lets me lead her to the car. We get in and as we drive back to school I let her cry on my shoulder. "I'll make sure that no one doubts you, Jay or Carlos's innocence in all this. I promise" She keeps crying, I kiss her hair and let her. When we get back to the school I lead her to her room and tells her to get some sleep, then I walk to my own room and lays down on my bed slowly falling asleep.

Adam's Point of view

I sit down and look out the window in my office as Ben and Evie leave my office. Why did he believe so easily that Mal would do such a horrible thing, I thought he loved her. And now he is ready to declare war against whoever is helping Mal, meaning his own mom.

"Did he believe you" I look and see Fairy Godmother behind me.

"I think he did" I look out the window again "why do I feel so bad telling him this lie?"

"It was the right thing to do Adam. It is better that he is mad at Mal than you." She walks towards the door

"Fairy Godmother?" she turns and looks at me "this is a secret that is never supposed to leave these four walls, okay?" She nods and leaves. I look at the photos on my desk; there is one of belle and me on our wedding day. "Please come home soon"

Mal's point of view (same day)

I woke up as the car stopped, I look out the window and see that we are near a forest but there is a barrier stopping us from going any further. I look at Belle "Where are we?"

"We are at the borders to the Moors" I look at her shocked, she look at me "Yes the very same kingdom that your mother ruled back when she was free" she smiles and gets out of the car, I follow her. "But I'm afraid that the barrier won't let me in, but I hope it will let you in" she looks at me. I step towards the barrier and take a step through it; I turn and look at Belle.

"Have you tried?" She shakes her head; I walk back to her and take her hand "You trust me, right" She nods and let me lead her to the barrier, I step through again and looks at her over my shoulder. "Now your hand is in the Moors, it is just missing the rest of you" she takes a deep breath and walks through the barrier.

"Humans aren't supposed to be able to go through the barrier like this" she looks around "Which means it must be weakened"

"That is because our leader cannot do her job properly" I turn around and see a fairy behind me, she looks at me "you look familiar, do I know you?" Before I have a chance to answer belle does it.

"She's Maleficents daughter, the true heir of this kingdom "Belle touch my back and I let out a scream, Belle gasps "I'm so sorry mal, I forgot" I fall to my knees and tries to take some deep breaths. Belle sits on her knees next to me.

"What is wrong with her" the fairy sits in front of me and moves a hand over my back without touching it.

"Her wings are growing and so is her horns" Belle touches my forehead "They started growing the day after she defeated her mother. I thought she was just ill, but she was in so much pain that I had Fairy Godmother check on her" I look at Belle and sniffs, I had not realized that I was crying "oh sweetie, everything will be okay I promise"

"And they sent you out here to drop her of because you all thought that we could help?" the fairy makes me look at her "You are even more beautiful than your mother was at this age" She smiles a little, I sniff

"They didn't sent me here they wanted me to go back to the isle because they didn't think I would be accepted because of the wings and horns" I look at Belle "Belle left her family and went with me because she thought it was the wrong thing to do to sent me to the isle." Belle touches my cheek lightly. The Fairy smiles at us.

"You have a connection, which is stronger than what I have seen in a long time" The fairy stands up "we'll help you and teach you how to control this side of you." She helps me stand up. Then she looks at Belle "And you are welcome to stay here with her until she is back to her normal and happy self"

"Thank you" Belle smiles then looks towards the car "is there anyway that we can hide the car, so Aurora won't see it when she visits next time?" The Fairy looks around.

"I'll take care of it" she takes out a wand "are there anything in it that you need?" Belle nods and takes our bags out of it. Then the fairy moves her wand and the car turns into a toy car, small enough to put in you pocket. "There you go, now she won't see it, if she shows up that is" she moves her wand again and the bags starts flying "lets go" She starts walking, I look at Belle and follows the fairy.

"What do you mean, if she shows up?" Belle puts her arm around me to help me keep my balance.

"Last time Aurora was here was 1 year ago. She doesn't care about us, which is why the barrier is as weak as it is" I look at her shocked, I look at Belle and see anger in her eyes. "But it is fine, when Mal is feeling better and have more control over this part of her she can step into her rule as our leader here and help us with the barrier"

"I will gladly do that. I promise, just please help me, this pain is horrible" I stop walking and touched my head. Belle squeezes my side.

"I will help you, I promise" I look at the Fairy "my name is Mira by the way" She stops in front of a small cottage "come on in" she walks inside, we follow her quietly. Once inside we look around "You can lay down on the couch over there" she points and Belle helps me over to it and helps me lay down. Mira comes over with a wet towel and hands it to Belle. "I think the best I can do to help you is make you sleep most of the time, that way the pain won't be as bad and when you really wake up in a weeks time your wings and horns will be out, I promise" I nod and she touches my head with her hand. I feel my eyes getting heavy and suddenly everything is black.

Belle's Point of view

"And you are sure this will help?" I look at Mira. She nods and walks to the small kitchen in the cottage and gets a small container out. She comes back to male and opens the container.

"It will help and with this growth potion her wings and horns will be fully out in a week." She applies some to Mal's head and back then she stands up and walks back to the kitchen to wash her hands. "Now we just have to wait" I nod and looks back at Mal, I sit on the floor and touches her cheek.

"Please be okay in a week Mal" I stay there watching over her for the next seven days.
