After our little love fest, I decided to go back to sleep, because… why the hell not? It was a pretty normal, good sleep, until BAM! I'm in the black abyss again.
"AGAIN? SERIOUSLY?!" I yell into the blackness, more angry then afraid at the moment.
"I have my ways of getting through these stupid island barriers. It just took me a while." The voice says. Great. That stupid voice is back too.
"Ben defeated you! You're supposed to be gone." I say, the fear creeping into the place where my anger was moments ago.
"Defeated, didn't destroy. Have you ever seen a movie or read a book? The villain is never really destroyed." The voice laughs, and it feels like it's getting closer. I back up, but instead of just going further into the blackness, I hit a wall.
"There is no running now, sweetheart." The voice says, sickly sweet. It sounds feminine now, just like… The realization hits me. My eyes widen. "Mother?" I ask. She materializes in front of me, laughing maniacally.
"It took you long enough to guess." She sneers.
"You shrank. You were a lizard…"
"Oh come ON you stupid girl!" She slaps me with all of her strength, her nails scraping my skin, surely drawing blood. I shriek and press up against the wall harder. "All I did was teleport away and put a lizard in my place. Did you really think that a homemade spell and a staring contest could defeat me?"
"We were kind of hoping." I mutter, massaging my cheek with my hand. She takes a knife out of who knows where and cuts me to the bone. I squeak in pain.
"Well, as soon as your precious Ben touches you to see where that cut on your face came from, I will be able to take my mortal form, and take my revenge!" She cackles. She looks up and back at me. "In 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…" She disappears. I blink, and I can see the mortal world again.
My mother has paralyzed me, so all I can do is watch as she begins her reign of terror. My friends have all woken up, and are groggily realizing what is happening,
"Maleficent." Jay says, dumbfounded. My mother just laughs and cuts up his arm. He staggers back, holding the wound. Ben has realized what is happening, and he taken out his sword.
"How many times must we defeat you for you to get the message?" He shouts, taunting her. She roars in anger.
"THERE IS NO DEFEATING ME! THERE IS ONLY DELAYING THE INEVITABLE!" She yells, transforming into a dragon.
"There is, and we will do it!" Ben says, going in to stab her in the heart, but at the last minute throwing his sword to a waiting Carlos, who stabs her in the back. She hisses loudly. Evie is trying to contain the crowd that has started to gather, and out of the corner of my eye, I see Harlem. A ball of hatred rises in my stomach, but dissipates at how sad he looks. He just shakes his head and walks away. Meanwhile, Ben, Carlos and Jay are fighting my mother, who is sending flames in every direction.
"You are wasting your time. You cannot defeat the mistress of darkness!"She yells.
'THAT'S IT! EVIE, TOSS ME YOUR MIRROR!" Ben screams. Evie knows what he's thinking, and so do I.
Carlos turns to my wicked mother, who has tortured me for years. "The only way to defeat darkness is with light." He says, and Ben thrusts Evie's mirror into her face, which is now shining with the light of a thousand suns. And, with one final scream, my mother is defeated; she is now a pile of dust and broken dreams.
Hope you liked!
