Chapter 6: Making it in Time?
Third Person POV-
They card ride was incredible long, or at least that's what it felt like for both Mal and Ben. They both sat in silence looking out the window with Mal looking out the widow and playing with Aden's hair, who had fallen asleep just 20 minutes prior, and Ben anxiously tapping his fingers against his leg while looking at his feet. That was until Mal broke the silence. "Ben, what is the plan?" "What plan? We already went over everything." "No, we didn't. We didn't tell everybody who we were supposed to visit. We didn't tell FG and we didn't tell the press." "Right. Well I am sure Jane filled FG in on it. And we can deal with the press later. As far as the kingdoms I can get lumiere to let them know." "Okay." "Mal are you still worried about turning into your mother?" "Aren't all the Vks?" She asked being snappy. "Mal. That's not what I meant." "I know. I mean of course I am. Ben I am so scared. What if I scare the kids?" "You won't. You know why?" "Why?" "Because you have love in your heart, and you don't have magic anymore. And remember good is stronger than evil?" Ben asked scooting over towards Mal and wrapping her in his arms. "Yeah I guess. And if you are worried then just think about everybody you love." "I hope it works." "I know you. It will you wot willing turn into your mother." "Your right." "Of course I am. Now why do t we try and get some sleep and pass the time of this immensely long car ride?" "We can try. Goodnight Ben." "Goodnight Mal. And no matter what happens I'll always love you." "I love you too. And same here. Even if I am evil some part of me will always love you." "You aren't going to be evil." With that Ben kissed Mal's head and then drifted off. Well more like closed his eyes and rested. Cause let face it. There was no way either of them was actually going to sleep.
Mal's POV-
We 'woke' up two hours later to the car stopping. We get out but we ask the drive to wait here with the car running and to watch Aden because he was still asleep. As we looked around we realize we were a block away from the house and then I see everyone Jane and Jay walking towards us. They both look ready to do anything necessary for the girl to be safe just like Ben and I. We quietly nod at each other and then we walk around the block to see the castle guards around the house wait for the okay to bring the plan to action. Ben and I walk towards the door and knock. I try and look pleasant and happy when I could be more of a liar. When the door swings open I start. "Hi Mr. Labar, we wanted to ask you something. I was going to continue but then I saw something- it was another image of Julia she's back in the bathroom. She's about to go through with it. And her thoughts we that she didn't want to go but se couldn't handle it any longer I tried using my magic but then I remember I don't have any. So I push past him and run towards the bathroom which took a minute to find because I had never been to this house before. But when I did I heard soft crying and immediately opened the door and saw her there with one wrist sliced. She looked at me like a deer caught in head lights. I run to her and grab the blade and throw it across the hall and then I grab her and just hold her while she sobs. I was getting her to calm down but then He walks in. "Umm? What are you doing in my bathroom with my daughter? And why is her wrist bleeding?" She walks toward her ad I feel her tense. I look at him and stand up. And give her to Ben but then I see her look afraid of him. And Ben sees it too. So he tells her he won't do anything as that he was just going to show he to a nice girl in the living room. She looks at me almost asking if she should. And I nod so she goes. "Now why are you here?" He asks looking annoyed. "Aden. He was taken to the hospital last night." Then he looks scared but tries to play it off. I continue. "You know he had an interesting story for me. And he was under the impression he was not to touch me or even talk to me. Care to explain why?" I said try to calm down. Heck there was no calm for me. What I meant was trying not to kill him. Mal your queen now you can't. It would make the kids more afraid of you, I remind myself. "You know I am not quite sure. You know kids and their imagination." He said looking directly at me. Why does he look familiar? Those eyes just look like I've seen them. "Yes. But then he told me something about little Julia and how she wasn't hurt like he was because she was going to have a baby soon?" "He must have misheard me. Julia isn't going to have a baby until she is married. It was my wife who was going to have a baby soon." "Well my mistake but why exactly did I see Julia in here cutting her wrists?" "I am not sure but I will talk to her immediately." "No you won't. You will no longer be seeing either of those kids. In fact you better hope that when I am done talking with the council that you can still breath." "What are you going to use your magic on me. A subject of your kingdom? I mean doesn't the council already not like you?" There he is! The jerk I imagined. "No, because I just gave up all of my magic so I could heal all the injuries that you gave to your son. Your worse that my mother and she was the most evil of them all." "Then you haven't met my father." He's an villain kid. That's why he looks familiar. "And who is he?" "We'll you've met me before, so how i repeat a sentence to you to jog your memory?" "I don't have all day." "Come on Malificent. How about we go and i show you how a real man is supposed to make you scream." He said smiling and walking closer. Scar! His father is scar. After all the animals were turned to humans Scar married a pirate and they had a kid. "Damien." "Hi Malificent. It's great to see you again. I still stand by my offer. I mean Ben is king does he really have time to have fun?" Trust me he does. "That is none of your concern." I said playing to his game. I have a plan. "But it can be." He said smirking and walking around me in a circle playing with my hair. "Why would someone like you want me?" I said pretending to go along with it. "I've always had a thing for purple and rebellious. That is exactly what you are. And you are incredible hot." "Oh really?" "Yes. And you just have this look about you where no matter what you can look innocent it just makes me want to punish you for being a bad bad girl." "Just like you did your daughter?" "I even dyed her hair purple a few times. And guess what she had that same innocent look about her. I can just picture her as your daughter." "And who's the father?" I said pretending to flirt. "It's a mystery." He said leaning in to kiss me. "Well how about I tell you my fantasy? You would go to jail for a life time or maybe being sent to the isle again or just a personal little place where Fairy god mother puts a force field around it so you can never touch a girl again. And then me and Ben take your kids in and show them a real family. Oh and I do this." I said kicking him in manhood. I was about to walk out and tell the guards to go ahead but then he grabs my leg and slip and fall and hit my head. Then he try's to get on top of me. "You know feisty only makes me want you more." "Is that so?" "That's what made me want Julia. She kept begging me and trying to run, she knew how to make me want it." "And guess what?" I said leaning toward his face almost like I was going to kiss him
"What?" He said about to kiss me. "If you touch that little girl again so help me you better hope you can remember your name." I said rolling over where I was in him. "You don't have your magic sweetheart." He said trying to flip us over again. "Well then you should know this. The isle had no magic and they still feared me. So lets just say even if I did I wouldn't use it. I would want to take care of it the old fashioned way." I leaned close to his face and then said, "have a good time in jail. Just wait till the guards find out what you did to a little girl. Cause guess what? Most of them have daughters and then the rest are just decent guys." With that I got up and walked out. I pointed to the guard and went outside. I saw Jane with Julia. Then I saw Ben with Jay but he didn't see me. So I took this as a time to go and breath. I walked to the backyard and started pacing. I was deep in thought and my body felt like it was on fire. But then I head something. "Mal?" I thought it was going to be Ben but it was Jay. I look up at him and see that he still looks ready to kill. "Is she okay?" "Jane says she won't know until she gets her to Lonnie's and she doesn't know which is worse mental or physical health." "Oh." "Are you okay?" "What about me? It's about them. I didn't go through what they did." "Maybe but you definitely went though stuff. And I mean i know you. I could practically hear you trying to calm yourself down. It got to you." "Of course it did. It got to Ben too it got to all of us." "Mal what's really going on?" "It was Damien. And every time he talked something inside of me wanted me to just kill him. I almost couldn't stop it Jay. I almost turned into my mother." I said letting the tears fall that I had been trying to hold back. "And we both know that couldn't have happened." He said sitting down. "Do we Jay?" "Yes. Answer this. When he talked about what happened did you want to rip his throat out?" "Yes. That's my point." "But did you want to to do it for fun? Or because you wanted him to feel just a little bit of the pain he put the kids through?" "It wasn't just a little. I wanted way worse for him" "what was going through your head when he started flirting with you?" "How he probably did it to Julia right before and how he probably enjoyed her crying." "And what did you think when that went through your head?" "How I wanted to feed him to the sharks over at Uma's bay. Jay what does this have to so with anything?" "One more question. What did you think about when he tried to say you didn't have any magic and you could do anything to him?" "I wanted to show him right then and there that my magic wouldn't have made it anymore painful then what I was going to do to him for what he did to his kids." "Then there you go." "What?" "You weren't turning into your mother, you were becoming a mama bear. And you didn't purposely want to hurt him you just wanted him to feel what his kids felt." "No I actually wanted to purposely make him fall off a cliff and say oops." "But only because you care about those kids." "I do. Hey Jay what happened to us?" "We realized there was more to life then being evil like our parents. Oh and we came to Aurdon and met the loves of our life's. so that happened too. You having second thoughts?" "No never I wouldn't change it for a thing." "Good Cause neither would I." Then I leaned my head on his shoulder. And I just sat there and tried to relax. "You know i missed this. Ever since the wedding and you starting to teach tourney to the kids we hardly all see each other." "Me too. But life happens to a reason and plus we are always there for one another when we need them." "Yeah. But sometimes I wish it would just slow down. It's all going so fast and we are all headed in different directions. It's hard." "Yeah. But how about this, after you get the kids situated and calm we talk to the others and come up with a time every few weeks where we get together and just catch up and do something fun? Just the four of us." "That sounds great." "Yeah. Now come on. I think we should head to Lonnie's. and I think Bens about to kill the wife." I laughed and got up give a hug and telling him thanks and how much I needed this. Then we walked across the yard back to the front yard and we see Ben looking at Julia from afar who is watching everything go down and then she looks over at Jane who is trying to get Ben not to kill the wife. I tell Jay to go make sure they got him in the car. Then I head over. I tell Jane she should head back to Julia and see if she'll talk. Then I wrap my arm around Bens trying to get him to calm down. He sees me and relaxes but just a little bit. "Oh great the queen of everything who stole my man" she said. Who even is she? "Excuse me? I never purposely did anything h just had an obsession with me. And even so I would never pursue." Right because you with the king for the power." You have got to be kidding me. "Pardon?" "I mean you already have magic you just have make sure you can rule the kingdom. "I don't have magic. I gave it up helping your son who is was quite injured and he was so injured he gender up int the ER. And lets get this straight. If i did have my magic still. Your husband nor would you be able to breath at the current moment." I said smiling. "Ah! Is that a threat?" Nothing if the sort. "No, it was more of a promise. But I mean I can dream. As soon as I deal with all the problems you caused your kids." "Why not do foster care? Is it for the act?" "Quite not. Lets just say even though I was raised by the most evil villain I still know love. Clearly something that is foreign to." "Love please it doesn't exist. My parents didn't have it for me or each other. My husband doesn't have it for me and I don't have it do my kids." "I am sorry that has happened to you. But you couldn't be more wrong. Love does exist it's what made me good."
I said looking up at Ben. "Now if you' excuse us. I am going to go are that Julia is okay and let her see her brother." With that guards came and took her away. Then I let go of Ben and and went to Julia. I asked her if she was okay. She said she was doing better but was kind of dizzy. I think it's from the lack of food in her system as well as the lost of blood from earlier. I tell her we are going to go check it out and grab something to eat. She just nodds. And then I ask her if she wants the see Aden. Which she instantly agrees too. I say give me a minute to grab Ben and then we will go. I go as get Ben then I tell Jay and Jane I will see them over there. Ben and I walk to Julia and Julia walks closer to me holding on to me and I lead her to the car. I open the door to see Aden eating the rest of his chips and talking the ear off of the driver. He sees me and smiles and jumps to me which I catch. Which puts Julia behind him. "Mama! Your back! I woke up scared, I couldn't do you. But the nice guy up front said that you would be back with a surprise and that I should surprise you by eating the rest of my lunch so i did. I even ate some of my chocolate bar daddy got me." "That's great baby! And it was a great surprise. Now are you ready for your surprise?" he shook his head and said yes. "Okay. Turn around." He did and the he said, "sissy!" And squirmed out of my arms to get to her. Which he did and practically tackled her in a hug. "You know I used to do that to Jay and Carlos whenever I saw them." I whispered to Ben while we watched them. "How come I don't get the greeting?" "Because you get something else." "And what's that?" "Usually a kiss, but most of the time if you are gone for a while something much better." I said looking at him. "I guess I better go away and come back huh?" "I mean you could. Or you could wait until tomorrow when get the kids to bed in the castle and just see." "You mean I have to want that long?" "I. Promise it will pass by fast." "If it doesn't you have to make it up to me" "I'll have to think of something." "Speaking of the kids what about their rooms?" "Moms working on them. She said that she is just going to just design on room for them to share for a few months they when they are feeling up to it and belter we Candice them their own rooms." "Your mom is a smart lady." "Yeah I figured that out when she told that if I couldn't get you out of my head and it hurt when you were away that I loved you. And when I asked what to do, you know what she said?" "What was that?" "She said the only way to stop it was marry you." "That was a good idea." "Probably the best I've ever heard besides mine of bring you here if course" "of course. Now lets get them to Lonnie's." "lets."
Third Person POV-
And with that they grabbed the kids am put them in the limo. With both of them wanting Mal. She decided to let Julia have her and for Aden to go sit with Ben. So she told Aden that daddy was feeling lonely and needed a hug and he was the only one who could help him. So he went to Ben. They arrived at Lonnie's with both of the kids asleep. They decided to not wake them and carry them. Mal had Aden and Ben had Julia. Ben being very careful not to touch her where it could set her off d she woke. Then he walked into Lonnie's and sat her down on a bed. And kissed her head and promised her that no one would ever hurt her again. The same with Mal. Then Lonnie got to work. She started with Julia because of her open wrist. She told Ben to step so she and Mal could get her clean and change her. And he obliged. So they got her under dressed Lonnie looked at a few things treated them and then asked Mal to help her bath her, which she did. Then they got her dressed making sure to get a clean fresh and new pair of underwear for her than putting on a comfy pair of pajamas. Then Lonnie wrapped her wound and told Mal to change it every night. And then she check Aden. But there was much to check because Mal had healed him. So mainly just cleaned and change him. When they were both dressed she told them that on top of vitamins, Julia would need to take antibiotics and some pain killers when requested, and Aden would need some cough syrup because he was coming down with a cold. They said they would see to it. And then they put them in the limo and headed home but not before grabbing something to eat for everyone. They even got some ice cream. About 10 minutes after they for the food Julia woke up to find she had been change and her hair was washed. She smelled like coconut and green apple. And she loved it. Sh yawned to let them know she woke up and they offered her some food which she took. Only eating half of it because her stomach had grown accustom to only eating small portions. But she eat all of her ice cream. She even had some of Mal. Along the way, Mal got to know her asked her about herself without being to personal. Ben would ask small question but stay quiet most of the time other than laugh and some f the things she would say. He didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.
