I do not own Descendants or its characters
11 days after coronation
Mal's point of view
I wake up feeling better than I thought I would after yesterdays events, I smile remembering Ben and what we did.
"What has you smiling like that?" I look up and see Mira standing in the door watching me.
" It's a fine morning isn't it?" I get up and walks outside, I pick up some dirt "Take this dirt in my hand, turn it into a flower band" it turns into a beautiful flower band with blue and purple flowers. I smile and place it on my head. I walk around the cottage and notice a little girl walking towards me, well towards the cottage. She suddenly looks at me, and I see the fear in her eyes, I walk slowly towards her. "It's okay, I will not hurt you." I pick some dirt up and makes a flower band for her "Here this is for you" I hold it out for her to take, she looks at it then carefully takes it in her hands.
"Thank you" I hear her whisper, I smile.
"You are very much welcome. Now can you tell me why you were on your way to the cottage?" She looks at me and I see that she is thinking about how to best answer me. "It is okay, if you are looking for someone then maybe I can help you find the person"
"But mommy and daddy says that I should not tell strangers where I'm going or why I'm going there" I nod listening to her
"I can understand why they would tell you that, and I only want to help you." I hear someone walking towards us; I look up and see Mira and Belle behind the little girl. "Mira, Belle, I met this sweet little girl and she is looking for someone, but he parents have wisely told her that she should not tell a stranger where she is going or why she is going there"
"Well, it is nice to know that she can listen to us sometimes" I look at Mira confused; the girl turns around and look at her
"Mommy!" she runs to her, Mira picks her up and hugs her
"Hey my little fairy. How was the trip with daddy?" she kisses her hair and looks at her "and where is daddy?" she looks around
"Daddy said that there were some men at the barrier, and he told me to go to you" the little girl looks at her mother "they were wearing armours mommy, and they had swords and bows and arrows" She lays her head on her mothers shoulder and I notice her shoulders shaking a little
"Mira?" I walk to Belle confused, she hugs me and holds me close to her.
"It is probably Aurora's men again, which means that queen Leah is mad at someone in our land" I stay in Belle's arms
"Or maybe they are looking for us" Belle squeezes me a little harder.
"Go back to the cottage and hide in the basement, no one knows that it is there. I showed Belle how to get into it while you were sleeping." Mira walks to us and puts a hand on my shoulder "We will protect you no matter what, now go" Belle pulls me towards the cottage. When we get back to it she opens a closet and looks at me.
"You have to say a spell to get in, Mira didn't say that it had to be a specific spell." She takes my hands "you just have to believe in yourself with this one" I nod and look at the dark space.
"Dark space be no more, open up the secret door" I look at it and see a door appearing "I did it Belle" I smile at her
"You did, now come on" she walks in, I follow her and the door disappears behind us. She leads me down some stairs and walks into a room where I see a bed with some blanket on it on the floor. "This is where we will have to hide when they come looking until you get control over your powers and can recreate the barrier, then we can return to Auradon in peace" I cannot help but laugh at what she just said "why are you laughing?"
"Do you actually believe that I can return?" I feel my eyes water "Adam and Fairy Godmother wants me to prove that I have no evil intentions. I already proved that at coronation" I let my tears fall and sit down on the bed.
"Mal, how do you know that" She sits next to me and takes my hands in hers.
"I went to Auradon yesterday, and I heard them in ben's room" I look at Belle "they are making him forget. I broke spell by kissing him. But when I left I had to put a spell on him to make him forget that I had been there" I start sobbing, Belle pulls me into her arms and I cry into her shoulder"
"Oh Mal, you should have told me yesterday that you had been there" she kisses my hair and holds me tight "I will go back and make them stop doing this to Ben" I pull back a little
" And do what? Convince the whole land that I didn't do anything, that it is one big lie from Adam?" I look at the ceiling as I hear what sound like feet walking on it. "I'm scared Belle" I feel my tears falling again "If they find me, I'll be send back to the isle. I cannot survive on the isle" I look at her and see her looking at me worriedly. She pulls me close to her again and runs her hand trough my hair and it makes me feel loved and protected.
"I'll never let you get send back to the isle. I promise, I'll always protect you Mal" she kisses my hair again and leans her head on my head. Suddenly everything is quiet upstairs; we both stay where we are, afraid that something horrible is going on. Suddenly we hear the little girl scream; I try to get up but Belle keeps holding me down "No, Mal you cannot go up there. They'll see you and take you and then you will not be able to help the Moors" I stop moving and looks at the ceiling. After what feels like hours, which was probably just minutes, the secret door opens.
"Belle, Mal hurry I need your help" I get up and run up the stairs to Mira. She runs to the main room in the house, I follow her and see an unconscious man on the floor; Belle stands behind me.
"Mira, what happened" I walk to him and notice that he is bleeding from his left side
"It was some of auroras soldiers that came. They stabbed him because they wouldn't believe him when he said that he did not know anything about Mal and if she was here" She looks at me with tears running down her cheeks. "Mal do something please, I do not have powerful enough magic to heal him, but you do. Please" I look at her and nod. I sit on the floor next to the man and put one hand on the floor and one over his wound.
"Make this wound hurt no more, fix it up so he can keep protecting the Moors" I look at the wound and see it closing. Mira leans down and kisses his cheek, his eyes open slowly and he looks around
"Mira, what happened" he sits up and touch his side. Mira looks at me which makes the man look my way "Who is she?" he looks at me a bit more "no, that's impossible" he moves his hand to touch my face, I move a little away then let him touch my cheek "how are you still this young?" I realise what he is talking about immediately
"I'm her daughter, Maleficent is my mom" he looks at me shocked then turns to Mira
"Did you know she had a daughter?" Mira shakes her head and takes his hand "I have niece?" He looks at me. "You're my niece" he keeps holding my cheek. I look at him confused then I turn to Belle
"'What?" I get up and walks to her, she opens her arms and pulls me into a hug "Mom never mentioned any siblings to me" I can feel my eyes getting wet
"She never said anything about sibling when she was imprisoned" she holds me tight "can you prove to us that you are Maleficent's brother?"
"I can" I look at him but stays in Belle's arms, as I feel protected here "You know how your mom, because of the Dragon blood, is able to turn into a dragon?" I nod and keep watching him "And you know how there is no one like her who is able to do that, because she is the last one in the bloodline?" I feel my tears falling and nods. The man gets up and walks outside, we follow him "watch this" then smoke surround him and he turns into a dragon. He lies down and places his head near us. I walk to him with tears still running down my cheeks and touch his head.
"You really are my uncle aren't you?" I look into his eyes and see a tears falling from them. He transforms back to human again and hugs me, I hug him back and cries into his shoulder "why have mom never told me about you?"
"Because she wanted to protect me" he pulls back a little and makes me look at him "now I'm curious as to why you are here, where your mom is, and if it is true that you kidnapped queen Belle" I cannot help but laugh
"I'm here because my wings and horns were coming and king Adam didn't think that Auradon would accept me with them. Mom is a lizard, she wanted to take control of Auradon, but I choose good and defeated her and then she turned into the size of love that she had in her, which turned out to be not a lot." I look at Belle "I didn't kidnap Belle"
"No you didn't, I left because I didn't agree with my husband about you future" She walks to me and touches my back. She looks at my uncle "I see Mal as my daughter, so when my husband said that he wanted to send her back to the isle I disagreed and took her here" she kisses my head "and I'm not leaving her before she has her powers under control"
"I see. By the way my name is Maverick" I look at him and whips my teas away "but everyone calls me Rick" he looks at me and smiles "and to you, my dear niece, I'm uncle Rick"
"But if you and Maleficent are related then why can't you fix the barrier?" I look at him and steps out of his arms.
"We do have rules here, and one of them is that the heir to the throne cannot just be with however they like. They have to find someone royal." He looks at Mira "I didn't follow that rule. I followed my heart" she walks to him and takes his hand "And it is one of the best decisions that I have ever made" he touches her cheek and kisses her forehead. I smile at them.
"Can I still choose who I want to be with?" They both look at me
"He has to be royal Mal, I'm sorry" I look at Belle and see her smile "why are you smiling like that?"
"She is in love with the king of Auradon" I feel my cheeks going red.
"I don't know if love is the right word Belle, I like him" She just shakes her head
"Sweetie, you just told me earlier that you broke a spell by kissing him" I hear a gasp and looks at Mira
"A true loves kiss" She smiles and claps her hands a little "Oh this is so sweet" she walks to me and hugs me, then she pulls back "when did you kiss him?" She looks at Belle.
"After the little accident yesterday she went to Auradon and saw Ben" Mira and Belle both smile and look at me.
"Wait, wait" Rick walks to me and puts his arm around my shoulders "how long have you known this boy?"
"The boy is 16 and a king. I have known him for approximately a month" I Look away from Rick not wanting to see his reaction.
"a little over a month, A MONTH!" I feel someone grab my arms and pull me away from Rick, I look up and see it is Belle. Rick turns his back to us and starts walking back and forth "You have known him a month and you went to see him yesterday, alone" He suddenly stops and walks to me, he moves my hair away from my shoulders and neck "YOU SLEPT WITH HIM!" Belle and Mira gasp; I feel tears forming in my eyes and look at the ground. "HE MARKED YOU!" he takes a deep breath and looks at Belle "Did your husband ever mark you".
"No he didn't" he starts walking around again.
"Maverick relax, she is scared" I see him stop in front of me. He takes my chin in his hand and makes me look at him. I see the anger in his eyes, but what I also notice is the worry.
"Mal, you have dragon blood in you." He takes a deep breath "Dragons tend to only need one time to become with child" I hear Belle gasp; I feel myself starting to panic
"No, that's not true" I let my tears fall "please, it is not true" He pulls me into his arms and I cry into his chest.
"We'll keep an eye on you for the next month and see if you are in fact pregnant and then if you are there is no use of magic for you because it can make you sick or worse" I look at him
"Then I have to fix the barrier now" I get out of his arms and starts walking towards the barrier. Someone grabs my arm and turns me around; I see that it is Mira
"You are not strong enough yet to do it Mal"
"I was strong enough to heal my uncle; I'm strong enough to fix the barrier" She lets go of my arm and I keep walking, I can hear them following me. I get to the edge of the Moors and looks at the barrier. I take a deep breath to calm my nerves "water, fire, earth and air help rebuild the barrier. Make it strong and make it thick, make it so that people are fit. Keep enemies out and let our people in. Protect us from harm and danger" I feel my magic leaving me and see the barrier changing colour to purple. I smile then fall to my knees. I see Mira, Rick and Belle running towards me, as my eyes close and everything goes black.
