This takes place at the same time as the previous three chapters x

Mal couldn't help but take a deep calming breath as the limo came to a stop. She hoped that Aurora and Philip would be there today but she had a feeling that it was just wishful thinking. She knew Leah would think of some way to get them out of the way and use her as a slave again. The half fairy slowly walked up to the large front door but before she could knock the same tall red hair, who's name Mal remembered was Emma, opened it and gestured her inside.

"Hello Mal, Queen Leah is waiting in the library for you." Emma said to the teen and Mal felt her heart sink a little at the confirmation she could once again be dealing with Queen Leah's outragous demands. The purple haired half fairy slipped Ben's ring off of her finger and into her jeans pocket, she didn't want Leah to see it today.

As the teen entered the library she couldn't contain her gasp as every book that should have been on the shelves was on the floor and the furniture was overturned. Mal never thought she would say this but she would prefer to be back on the Isle and hiding away from her mother then having to endure this. "Hello Mal." Leah sneered at the teen as she silently shoo'ed Emma out of the room. "I think you know what I want you to do here." She stated. The teen knew it wasn't a question but she nodded never-the-less. "Arrange them alphabetically, by title and since you left before I was finished with you last time when you're done here come to my office. I have something else I expect you to do." She told the purplette before heading out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

Sighing Mal looked arounf the library, surveying the damage. She couldn't believe someone could treat books like this but let's face it, it doesn't seem like Leah cares about anything but herself and her familys image. Mal crossed the room being careful not to step on the books that were littering the floor. The teen was extremely tempted to tell Ben about this but she just couldn't risk being sent back to the Isle by Leah.

So instead she sat on the floor in the centre of the room, since it was the only available space, and began working her way through the books. By the time she was half way through it was past lunch time and she had begun to get hungry but knew she couldn't risk stopping. As she stood to place some more books on the shelf Mal was surprised to find the door opening.

Placing the books in their rightful place on the bookshelf the purplette turned to find Emma smiling sadly at her, holding a large cup. "How are you doing Mal?" She asked the teen and Mal couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the red head. Mal watched as the red head closed the lobrary door behind her. "I know you are probably confused by this but if you need anything please let me know. This is hot chocolate. Princess Aurora asked that I make some for you. She's just had to go into another meeting but she said she definitely will see you the next time you come." She explained handling the purplette the mug.

"Thanks Emma." Mal said, gratefully taking the cup. The teen took a sip of the drink and couldn't help but smile at the taste. "This is lovely." She said. "But I should really get back to this." The teen told Emma, gesturing to the pile of books she still had to sort.

Nodding Emma smiled at the teen. "Of course. But please, if you need anything let me know." She said before leaving the library.

Taking another sip of her drink the teen moved to sit back in her spot on the floor. She may not enjoy the amount of work Leah was having her do but she had to admit that the library here had a great selection of books. There were loads of books here she wishes she had the time to sit and read but with Leah that just wouldn't be possible.

Mal had loved her drink but after she had finished it and had put all the books in their correct place she had stood to correct the furniture and went dizzy. The teen couldn't help but feel lightheaded. Also her magic was a little weaker then is usually felt, she could usually feel it pulsing around her but it wasn't as strong as usual right then. But she brushed it off as the fact that she hadn't had anything to eat all day. She had skipped breakfast to talk to her siblings before they all left and had obviously skipped lunch as well since she was having to tidy these books. Once she felt a little better Mal placed all the cushions back on the furniture the teen practically fell on the couch, completely exhausted. Mal laid on her back, her head on the arm of the couch and fell asleep instantly.

Not long after the teen had fallen asleep Aurora entered the library, having been told by Emma that the purplette was in there. She couldn't help but smile as she noticed the purple haired teen sleeping peacefully on the couch but she also knew the limo would be there soon to pick her up. "Mal?" She gently called out to the teen. "Mal!?" She called louder. The blonde princess' smile only got bigger as the purplette groaned in her sleep before rolling over to face the back of the couch.

Smiling she covered the sleeping teen with a blanket before stepping out into the hallway, walking straight into her mother. "Are you just going to leave that here over night!?" Leah shouted.

"Shh!" Aurora responded, closing the library door to. "Yes, Mal is staying the night. And don't speak about her in that manner mother." She snapped. The blonde was fed up with her mother constantly insulting Mal, the purplette had done nothing wrong to warrant this type of behaviour. "Now, excuse me I have to call Ben and Bree to let them know Mal won't be back until morning." She stated glaring slightly at her mother as she walked away.

Aurora couldn't help but roll her eyes at her mother's retreating form as she pulled her phone out of her pocket. As she looked at the time on her phone she decided a text message would be better, in case ben was in a meeting of his own.

To Ben: Hi Ben, just to let you know Mal has fallen asleep here and I can't wake her so she is going to stay here for the night. I will send her back in one of my own cars tomorrow morning.

Ben responded immediately.

From Ben: Hi Aurora, that is fine but in the morning myself and Bree will be coming to have a meeting with you about Mal. We are concerned about her and think you could help.

To Ben: Not a problem Ben. See you tomorrow.

The princess was worried about what Ben had said and didn't fully understand how they thought she could help since she's only met the teen once and the twins were there for that. But if she could help the purplette then she would.
