Mal's PoV
I don't know how much longer I can keep myself alive. I am bleeding out severely, and there of course is nothing here, so I have nothing to stop the bleeding or the pain. I tried to get up again, but I was just knocked down again, the blade then came back again and cut my neck, and broke my other arm. I was cold-sweating and my purple hair is plastered to my forehead. I close my eyes, but when I open them, I don't find the infinite blackness, I see a group of people around me, and am in Ben's arms. I scream, trying to get their attention, and I see them looking at me before my eyes slide closed again. I utter out, not sure that they can hear me, but I figure that it's worth a try. "He's in my head h-help me" And then I black out again.
It's so dark in her head, and I can't figure out why. I thought that the fairy godmother said that the darkness was gone. I guess that's she was wrong about that, because here is proof. I continue to walk with my sword drawn, until I see Mal on the ground, unconscious.
"Mal! Okay, okay. I will get you out of here." I pick her up and am about to drink the potion that will get us out, when I hear a voice.
" You're efforts are in vain, even if you do get her out, she will never be truly free…" As he was monolouging, I pull out my sword with the power to defeat it, and run at the form it has taken, slashing it in the back. The figure screams and staggers back. "Ahhh, you caught me monolouging! Stupid mistake o-on my p-p-part." He stutters. As he is talking, I hit him again and realize his weakness: conversation. When he is talking, his guard is down. As I think this, I see the perfect opportunity to finish him. I hit him on the neck, and with a cackle and a flash of light, he disappears.
I pick Mal up again, and drink the potion. In a flash we are back in the palace, and I'm holding her unconscious body. "Ben! Is she going to be okay?" My mother asks worriedly.
"I sure hope so. I think I defeated whatever did this to her, but I need to get her into bed." I run up the stairs to Mal's room, and put her under the covers and kiss her on the forehead. "Feel better, princess."

Mal's PoV
I feel so groggy, and I can't bring myself to open my eyes. I hear voices and decide to listen to the conversation. Ben's voice is the first one I hear.
"When is she going to wake up? Is she even ever going to? The Fairy godmother's magic can't wake her up, and I –I don't know what I would do without her." Man. How long have I been out?
"She will wake up. Don't worry about it! She has to. Right Evie?" I think that was Jay.
"I don't know." Evie says sadly. Then, I hear their footsteps receding, and then I'm alone again. I think on this for a bit, and then I fall asleep.
*The next day*
I wake up again to a warm presence next to me, and a hand in mine. I am almost sure that this is Ben. I squeeze the hand hard, but not too hard. The person shoots up in the bed and I feel their eyes on me. I crack my eyes open, and meet Ben's beautiful bright, brown eyes."Mal! You're awake! Guys get in here she's awake!" All of my friends rush in, and I smile at them.
"Mal! We were so scared! Don't EVER do that again!" Evie says while hugging me.
"I won't"
(A/N And that's the end of the chapter! I hope you liked it, and I will start a new story too . But don't worry this one isn't ending any time soon.)
