Chapter 6

Hey everybody, sorry this is a bit later than usual, don't worry, I'm still here. Sorry this chapter is short. Only two more chapters until completion! Have fun reading, nerds.

When the light had disappeared, Doug's body was thrown across on the floor. Uma and Maleficent had tried to escape, only to be stopped by guards and the Fairy Godmother. The guards had grabbed them, forcing them to exit the building,.

Evie was immediately at Doug's side, crying, Mal dropped to her side. She looked over his body, "He's still breathing, there's still a chance." She grabbed his wrist, feeling the magic pulse through his body, "We have to work fast, let's move him." Jay and Ben hoisted Doug's body up, trying to be quick and careful, Evie running alongside with them.

They ran to the infirmary, Fairy Godmother ready to analyze the situation. Jay and Ben placed his body on a bed, and then Fairy Godmother shooed everyone out the door. They all sat down, the events still fresh in their minds.

Jay in disbelief said, "So he never really was working for the other side." Ben turned towards Dizzy, who was blowing her nose, "He said you played an important role, what did that mean?" Evie looked up at Dizzy, feeling Mal's hand on her back.

Dizzy wiped a tear away, "D said he was getting too close to Evie. He knew that- that Uma and Maleficent were coming soon, a-and he didn't want her to get hurt." Mal looked up at Dizzy, "That's why you brought me to the courtyard. So then I could accuse him of being bad, and that Evie would be the one to break things off." Dizzy nodded, and Evie sobbed at hearing this, Mal gave her a hug.

The door opened, revealing Fairy Godmother, the teens up and asking her a million questions. She gestured for them to quiet down, "Douglas' condition has stabilized for now, Uma had a protection barrier on the necklace. It technically should have killed him, but it appears that his body is fighting against the spell."

Carlos asked, "So there's still a chance for him? What about true love's kiss?" She sighed, "If his body can win this battle, he may awaken. Unfortunately, that means it is his battle, only he can wake himself up." Their moods were brought down, worry filling their hearts.

Fairy Godmother continued on, "I must be going, those two are going to be hearing a lot from me. You all may enter the room. King Ben, we will be on standby for your ruling." Ben nodded, "Thank you. I will be there as soon as possible." She nodded, and made her way out, knowing the teens needed to be alone.

They entered the room, seeing Doug lying down in a hospital bed, a heart monitor attached to his arm. Evie sat down in the chair next to his bed, holding his hand. The boy was pale and sweaty, despite it being cool in the room.

The group of friends looked at one another, a silent message being passed across. Mal put a hand on Evie's shoulder, "We'll be here anytime you call us. We'll be sure to visit you constantly."

Evie gave her a tight smile, her thank you being given quietly. Mal nodded at the group, signaling for them to leave them alone. Evie watched as they all left, then paying her attention back to the boy in front of her.

His hair was flattened against his head, a look she hadn't seen in a while. Doug had various cuts from falling on top of broken glass, one on his cheekbone underneath his eye. He was sweating, in which she found a hand towel and wiped the moisture off, never letting go of his other hand.

She held onto it tightly, "Doug, you need to wake up." She cried, "Why did you have to do that? You said you were in idiot for loving me, but couldn't you have been an idiot for a little bit longer?"

Her voice cracked, "Please come back, I don't care if you come back as Doug or D, just wake up. I have so many things to say. There's so much we didn't get to do. I never- I never got to tell you that I loved you back." There was silence, Doug's heartbeat the only thing present.

Evie was still sitting by Doug's side, not moving an inch since yesterday. Mal was sad that Evie was feeling that way, standing at the doorway watching her. She knocked on the door, "Evie, I brought you a muffin."

The girl had looked up at her best friend with sad eyes, "I'm not hungry." Mal shoved the muffin into her hands, "Eat it, before I shove it down your throat." Evie peeled the wrapper off, picking at the food, but never actually eating it.

Mal sighed, "Evie, you need to keep up your strength. If he's fighting, then you should too." Evie's eyebrows scrunched together, "He wouldn't be in that war if it wasn't for me." The purple haired girl tore a piece of the muffin, placing it in Evie's hand, "Band nerd chose to fight, meaning he has a good chance of winning."

Evie looked into her eyes, "You really think so M?" She nodded, "He may not be the strongest in general, but when it comes to you, he'll make it." Evie looked back at the sleeping Doug, seeing his eyebrow twitched. It was as if he could sense her looking at him.

The corner of Mal's lips went up, "See, he knows you're there. A kiss may not work, but love will bring him back." Evie looked back at Mal, "Thank you." She nodded, "Anytime. Now eat your muffin." Evie gave a small smile, biting carefully into the food, her heart full of hope.

Still haven't completely decided if I want to write a one-shot series, but I'm leaning towards actually doing it. Send me prompts! Comment, I love feedback. Till' tomorrow, friends.
