10 days after coronation
Evie's point of view
It has been seven days since Mal kidnapped Belle and disappeared. In the beginning I kept telling myself that she had not done it, but now I don't know what to think anymore. The worst part is that people have been really horrible towards me and only me, not even Jay or Carlos, just me. They all believe that I had something to do with it as well; only four people believe that I didn't and that's Jay, Carlos, Ben and Doug. I try to stay in my room as much as possible and only leave to go to classes and nothing else. Right now I'm in my room looking out the window, it is warm outside and people are out enjoying the sun but not me I'm in here where it is safe to be. Suddenly there is a knock on the door I look at it. "Who is it?"
"It's Ben" I walk to the door and unlock it and let him in.
"What do you want Ben" I sit down on my bed and looks at Mal's bed
"I wanted to check on you" he sits next to me "see how you were doing"
"How do you think I'm doing? Everyone believes that I had something to do with it just because I'm her best friend. People are horrible Ben, they come knocking on my door in the middle of the night and calls me a traitor" I feel tears running down my cheeks "I don't feel safe anymore, I've even started thinking about going back to the isle" I put my head in my hands and cries. I feel Ben moving close and putting his arms around me
"I'm so sorry Evie, I know you had nothing to do with it" There is a knock on the door. I feel Ben getting of the bed. I hear the door open and close. I look up and see Doug, Carlos and Jay. Doug walks to me and sits down; he puts his arms around me and holds me close.
"I just want to feel safe again, and not have to look over my shoulder every time I leave my room" I lay down with my head on Doug's lap and keep crying. I look at Mal's bed again when something under it catches my eyes. I get up and walks to her bed I kneel down and pulls out what caught my eye, I gasp when I see that it is her spell book.
"Is that what I think it is" Ben and Carlos walks to me and looks at the book. I look at Ben.
"She would never leave her spell book behind Ben" he takes it from my hand and starts looking through it "What are you doing Ben? You cannot just look through it like that" I try to take it from him but Carlos puts his arms around me and holds my arms to my sides. "Carlos, what the hell" I try to get out of his arms.
"The last spell she found interesting was the anti love potion" Ben keeps looking through the book, I watch him. "There is no spell about kidnapping somebody" He looks at me.
"Which means that she didn't do it" I look at Carlos whom is still holding me "Carlos let go of me" He holds me even tighter than before.
"Just because there is no spell doesn't mean that she didn't do it" I look at Jay shocked
"Jay" it comes out in a whisper "please, you know Mal would never do that" He looks at the ground my tears start falling again. "She's my sister, she's your sister" He looks at me and I see anger in his eyes.
"If she was our sister she wouldn't have put all of us in harms way by disappearing like this! Wake up Evie, she is still Evil" I look at the older boy that I have seen as my older brother for a long time now. I get out of Carlos's arms and walks to Jay. I slap him hard on his cheek then runs out the room.
"Evie, wait!" I hear two people running after me, I run faster and find an empty classroom; I hurry in and close the door behind me locking it. "Evie please open the door"
"Go away Ben, I want to be alone, please" someone takes the doorknob and tries to open the door.
"Evie, please. Princess, open up, we just want to make sure you're okay" I let my tears fall and opens the door to see Doug and Ben both looking at me worriedly. Doug takes a step forward and pulls me into his chest "I know you are mad at Jay, but he is just worried about how people are towards you at the moment" I hide in his chest
"He feels bad about what he said to you" I look at Ben and I can feel the anger in me
" He feels bad? Oh well then I guess it is okay. Of course it is not okay, I cannot believe that he is doubting Mal" I look at the ground "Ben if I told you that I might know a way to see Mal and prove that your mom is not with her because she is being forced, what would you say?" I look at him
" I would tell you to show me right this moment" I nod and take out my magic mirror.
"I'm not sure it will work, and I do not know why I have not done it before now" I look at the mirror "mirror mirror in my hand, show me my sister Mal" Doug looks over my shoulder and Ben stands in front of me looking at the mirror. The mirror clears and we see Mal laying on a couch we hear voices
Mirror conversation:
"She should be waking up soon Belle, and hopefully she'll feel better and not be in pain"
"She's been sleeping for 7 days, I'm just worried" Belle moves into the frame and puts a wet towel against her forehead. Mal's eyes open slowly
"Belle"
"I'm right here sweetie" Belle touches Mal's cheek
"Is it over now?" Belle nods and smiles "so no more pain"
"No sweetie, no more pain. Your wings are beautiful and your horns are lighter than your moms was"
"That could be because Mal's magic is light where her mom's were dark" A new person steps into the frame and sits on the floor near Mal's head "But it is over now Mal, now the training begins"
Mirror conversation ends
The image disappear from the mirror, I look at Ben "you need to go to your dad and tell him that there will be any war against anyone who is helping Mal, because she is not hiding your mom. I think it is your mom that is hiding her." Ben look at me then shakes his head. He takes my hand and starts pulling me with him "Ben where are we going" he pulls me through the school and people turn to look at us, that's when I see Lonnie, Jay, Audrey, Chad, Jane and Carlos.
"He probably found out that she is in on this whole kidnapping thing" I hear someone whisper. I think Ben heard it as well as he stops and turns towards our group of friends
"WHO SAID THAT?! AS YOUR KING I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO SAID THAT!" We all look at Ben shocked, he has never raised his voice like this and he has never used that fact that he is king to get information before. Audrey steps forward
"I'm sorry Ben, but everyone believes it and the way that you are pulling Evie along it seems like she has done something wrong" Ben takes some deep breaths then he takes my hand and starts pulling me along again, but someone grabs my other hand stopping Ben. I look who grabbed my hand and see that it is Jay.
"Ben where are you taking my sister?" I keep looking at Jay
"I'm taking her to the castle as we need to speak to my father" Jay looks me in the eyes asking if I'm okay. I nod and he lets go of my hand. I let Ben lead me out to a car that is waiting and gets in. "I need you to help me convince my father that Mal is innocent, and if we need to we have to use the mirror to see them both again" I nod and looks out the window. After some time we pull up to the castle. Ben gets out of the car and holds his hand out for me, I take it and let him lead me into the castle.
"DAD!"
"IN MY OFFICE BEN" Ben once again leads me to his fathers office, we walk in and see the Fairy Godmother is there as well, his father looks at us. "I see you're not alone Ben" I look at Ben and see the irritation in his eyes
"I see you aren't either dad, but it is a good thing because what I have to say is important." His dad looks at Fairy Godmother then at Ben. He nods at Ben telling him to go on. "We have seen Mal and mom. Dad Mal is innocent she didn't kidnap mom; she isn't hiding her. It is the other way around actually; mom is hiding Mal because her wings and horns have come out. Dad they are beautiful, you should see them; they are so light compared to her mothers that were dark." I smile at Ben as I hear him talk about Mal in such a positive way.
"Did you see where they were?" I look at Fairy Godmother and shake my head. "How did you see them then?" I look at Ben and he nods
"Through my magic mirror Fairy Godmother" She walks to me, I look at her confused
"Can I see the mirror, please?" I take the mirror out of my pocket and hands it to her "thank you very much, at school we do not allow magical objects and you know that, so I'll keep this." She walks back to the former king and stands behind him.
"You cannot do that, you cannot just take my things from me." I try to run to her but Ben stops me, I look at him.
"I'll get it back for you, I promise" I nod and take a deep breath.
"I think it would be best to send Evie away for a while, I've heard the rumours at school and they think the most horrible things about her involvement in all this" Fairy Godmother is talking to the former king and he looks deep in thought "it is for her own protection Adam" He nods agreeing with her.
"You cannot do this, what the hell. You cannot send me away from my family" I look at Ben and he is looking at his dad shocked "Ben do something"
"Dad you cannot make this decision, I'm the king now meaning that it is my word that counts." I look at him thankfully. "And I don't think that Evie should leave"
"You may be king Ben, but I'm her guardian. And I'm saying that she is leaving, it is for her own safety" He stands up and walks to me "I don't want anything to happen to you Evie, and I certainly do not want anything to happen to my son. Fairy Godmother, do what you have to do" Fairy Godmother walks to Ben who is watching her confused, she takes a small bottle and sprays some of it content in his face. He blinks a couple of times then looks at me and his dad
"Evie I thought you didn't leave your room, and what are we doing her" I look at him shocked; Fairy Godmother leads him out of the room before I can say anything to him. I turn to Adam.
"What are you doing, he is the king you cannot do this to him. He is your son" I feel my eyes getting wet.
"I'm sorry Evie, but I cannot allow Mal back. Our people will be afraid of her; afraid that she is Maleficent the second." He puts his hands on my shoulders "I'm only protecting my people. I know Belle left with Mal to hide her somewhere. Exactly where they are, I don't know, but when they are ready they'll return. Until then I'm sending you away to another castle of ours where you cannot use magical objects or any magic at all because the castle has been spelled that way. I'm only doing this to protect you from everything that will go down from now on" I let my tears fall "I'm so sorry Evie" He Pulls me into his chest and hugs me, which surprises me at first, but then I hug him back and cries into his chest. Once I calm down, he leads me out of his office and towards the front door, we get to the car and I turn to him.
"Please keep an eye on Ben, I think the beast in him is trying to get out" He nods and hugs me one more time "And tell him that I'll be back, I just need a break" He pulls back a little and nods again, with a small smile on his lips.
"Take care Evie, once this is over I'll send my guards for you I promise" I nod and get in the car. As it drives away from the castle I start crying again. What am I going to do now. I end up crying myself to sleep in the car.
