Mal's POV

I looked down at our hands connected. I didn't really know how to strat this conversation or why exactly did I decide to have this conversation...

I know Ben will be really angry when he find out and that thought makes me feel... i don't really how to express it in words... It's a pit in my stomach and a cold in my feet that makes me no want to have this conversation... When I am with Ben everything seems different. Well maybe it's because it truly is... Ben makes me feel things that I have never felt, everything is so new and I am not ready to let go of this feeling... I have a sense that when he finds out everything that is going to happen.

Ben feels my hesitation and squeezes my hand once again.

"I know this must be hard for you, Mal. I am not here to judge you! I just want to know the events that led to last night. I need to know... Because I am sure that was not what you wanted to do..."

I nod and sigh, getting ready for what is about to happen. Who would thins... Mal the daughter of Maleficent, nervous about a conversation with a boy...

"Well, okay. So as you must imagine, growing up with my mom wasn't a piece of cake... She was the mistress of evil and expected me to be the next one. But deep down I didn't really want to be like her, but I wanted to make her proud... She would get so mad at me when I wasn't like she wanted... I have lost count of the nights I had to spend outside or without eating anything... It was hard... And when you hear your whole life that bad is the right thing to do, it kind of gets under your skin... Since she had the fame of one of the evilest vilians, my life was a bit better than some of the kids around the Isle of the Lost... People would be so scared that they would give up their belongings in prol of their life. But anyway, life on the island is very hard... Supplies are very scarce and ehat existis is rather dirty or rotten... People steal all the time and it kind of is normal...

So having this said, everyone there hopes for a better life. Not a fairytale life but a normal one. With normal parents and a regular dailyroutine. Most villains plan ways to get revenge for what happened to them and kids are educated to feel the same way.

When we were chosen to come here, we were not happy at all. No one wanted to live in princes and princesses world, full of pink and happiness... But my mother forced us. She said that if we eidn't go we would be grounded for the rest of our lives, and believe me she would make our lives miserable.

She saw our stay here as a way of getting the revenge she wanted. So she gave us a mission. We were suppose to come here and get the wand, this way all the villains would get what they wanted.

So we came here. Firstly, Evie, Jay and Carlos were so happy with having everything they were never able to have that they didn't care about the plan, but once I reminded them that we had to prove ourselves to our parents, we were all in. We found out the wand was in a Museum so we went there. It was easy to pass by the guard using some spells but Jay ruined it when he touched the wand. So were forced to stay longer.

Our next plan was to get Jane to show us the wand but it was harder then we thought.

I was starting to get frustrated because I wanted to show my mom taht I could like her, that was as good as she is...

Then, Doug told Evie that it was going to be used at your Coronation and after you comfirmed, I... I..."

Ben didn't stop me at any time, we was listening to quietly, not judging as he promised. But when it came to the part I knew was going to hurt him, I had to stop to prepare for it.

"I understand. You decided that you would get the wand at my Coronation and then everything happened."

"No..." I say shaking my head. "That's not all. When you comfirmed that the wand would be there, you also said that only you, your grilfriend and your parents would be on the front. So... I decided that you needed a new girlfriend and ai needed to become your girlfriend to be able to be next to the wand. That is why I gave you the love cookie..."

Ben's POV

When Mal said that she only gave me the love cookie to get the wand, I felt devastated... It had all been a lie... She never like me... Well, it's not like she ever said she did... Maybe the others were right... Maybe Mal was only evil like her mother.

I let go of her hand and get up, looking shocked at her. She had an appologetic look in her face and if I didn't know her, I would think she was on the verge of crying.

"It was only a lie... You used me... I was only a mean for you to get what you wanted! You are exactly like your mom, Mal! You don't care about anyone except for yourself!" I started screaming looking angry at her. She got up as well, crossing her arms

"Did you not hear a word of I just told you... My mom..."

"Your mom didn't force you to play with my feelings... It was your choice... Now you have to live with the consequences... I can't stand to look at your face right now..." I said, tears forming in my eyes and ran out of there.

I can't believe she did that to me... Playing with my feeling like that... I told her that I loved her and she... She used that in her favour to make her parents take over the world...

I ran to my bedroom, being asked by many people if I waso aky but I would ignore them or tell them to leave me alone.

It was not how I would act around people, especially now that I am the aking but my heart just got broken.

By now, my cheek were already stained with tears. I just wanted to get to my room and think. Alone.

I get there and shut the door behind me. I threw myself to the bed and looked at the ceiling...

Mal... Why...?

A/N: hey! I'm back! Athah sorry for taking so long. hope you like it!
