I walked through an eerie and thick fog that curled around me as I glanced around nervously. Even though I wanted to, I didn't bother call to see if anyone else was there with me and despite my fear, the mist was both comforting and strangely soothing. It felt like a protective shield or a soft blanket of clouds protecting me from the dangerous world, making me feel like nothing could possibly happen to me. I walked on until a strange shadow soon caught my eye and footsteps ringing loudly in my ears. I halted and whipped around, my green eyes flitting around quickly. "Hello?"

Silence replaced an answer and the steps as I called and this alarmed me. I frowned at the odd change and cautiously stepped forward towards where I had heard the sound. I tensed as I felt water suddenly crash against my feet, the cold liquid making me shiver. Water in the middle of nowhere? Weird, I muttered silently to myself.

I stayed as still as possible, simply staring at the dark water in confusion and only confusion. As I stared, the once small waves strengthened immensely and the water level rose at an unimaginable rate. My arms were lifted to try to stay dry but, without warning, a powerful wave sent me flying into deeper waters, the strong forces of water keeping me underwater and preventing me from breathing.

I opened my mouth to scream for help but instead water began streaming into my mouth and down my throat, forcing me to choke up any oxygen I had left inside of me and let as much water on as possible. I knew I was a goner as my vision became blurrier and blurrier as the surface disappeared from my view and I was soon surrounded in pure darkness.

Suddenly, a familiar, growling voice snarled in my ear. "This is what will happen if you betray us, Malerie."

I yelped as someone shook me awake, my eyes flying open and my hand quickly holding onto my throat as gently as I possiblely could. I felt a hand grasping onto my shoulder as I coughed and tried to take in long, gasping breaths for a few seconds before I stopped. I set my hand down on the bed and began to take in ragged and deep breaths. "Malerie, are you okay?"

I turned around the to see a worried Dizzy. I steadied my breathing, looking away. "I'm fine."

"You sure?", She asked. "You were coughing or choking in your sleep. It's really hard to ignore if you think about it."

"Yes, I'm sure," I answered, getting off of my bed.

Dizzy sighed, giving up. "Okay. I'm just making sure. We don't want you to die, now do we?"

I shrugged at her and checked the schedule and the time before grabbing my necklace. Did you hear me, Uma? Are you worried for me?

I put it on and turned to her. "Why do you care if I'm okay or not?"

"You liv with me now," she pointed out. "So we kinda have to care of each other now, right?"

"Nah."

She frowned, but shrugged as she sat down on the bed. "I have a feeling that you'll always be known as the Isle girl, Maybe just the kid from the isle with that attitude."

I shrugged. "So what, Dizzy?"

"Wouldn't you rather fit in here in Auradon, Malerie?", she asked, fixing her cat-eye glasses.

"I don't know," I answered, playing with my hair. "I honestly don't really care."

Dizzy nodded and we stayed quiet like this as I wondered why it always ended like this. "Also, do you have nickname? Your name feels too long."

"Oh I have tons," I answered, straightening myself. " Some are longer some are shorter."

"Like what."

"Like Mini Mal, Mallie, Little Maleficent, Maleficent's second daughter, Mal, Snapdragon, wreck, weakling and tons of other ones I don't want to mention. I technically hate all of these except maybe Snapdragon. Also, don't call me Mallie or Mini Mal. I only allow one person in the entire world to call me that."

Dizzy silently mouthed what I had listed before looking up at me. "Snapdragon? That makes no sense."

"It's because I can be snappy at times and my mother can turn into a dragon and I'm her daughter... So, yeah..." I explained, looking off to the side.

She nodded. "Who called you a wreck qnd a weakling?"

"Guess. If you've lived on the isle you should at least guess."

She paused to think. "...Uma's crew?"

I shook my head. "Random people?"

"Nada."

"Another Villian Kid on the isle?"

"Nuh-uh."

"You?"

No!", I hissed. "Why would I call myself those awful names?"

"Hmm... Good point... Maleficent?"

I fell silent at the mention of her name and nodded. Dizzy frowned and leaned towards me. "That's awful! I'm so sorry, Malerie."

I held up my hand when I spotted her leaning towards me as if she was gonna hug me. "I had lived with it for ten years. I know how tow to deal with and lucky for me, I guess, she's in Mal's dorm room trapped inside a large tank as a lizard."

"Okay..." She leaned back.

"Hey, who's this person who can call you Mallie and Mini Mal?"

"Not your problem," I answered simply.

"What if it is," she asked, smirking at me. "What if I need to kmow in order for you to live?"

"But you don't," I pointed out. "So, I'm not gonna tell you."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please, please, please?"

"Never."

"Pleassssssseeeee?"

I shook my head and gently shoved her to the side. "You're getting nothing."

She huffed like a child, the ten-year old glaring at me in a playful way. I ignored it and grabbed the dragon charm Mal had given me years back. I took my necklace off and clipped the charm in the middle of the six seashells. I held it up to look at it, sunlight making it glitter despite it being rusty. "That's pretty! Where'd you get it?", Dizzy asked, staring at the necklace.

"I got it whete I got it."

"Are you some kind of mystery that everyone has to figuore out to understand you?", she asked. "'Cause your answers don't always tell me what I need or answer my questions. They're always..."

"Indirect?"

"Exactly," she agreed, grabbing her ribbons and began to tie her hair up into her usual pig tails.

"Well, maybe I am and maybe I'm not," I said. "And you ask too many questoons."

Dizzy gasped in mock anger. "I do not!" She paused and smirked. "Mallie."

"Don't call me that, Dozzy," I groaned.

"Fine," she huffed, looking up at the analog clock on the wall. "Class is in five minutes."

"Since when did you, a ten-year old, learn how to read a clock?", I asked.

"I'm not dumb!", she snapped. "Do you annoy everyone?"

"Depends," I answered, walking towards the door. "Is it fun to annoy them and who are they?"

Dizzy sighed and followed, walking in front of me before I could go anywhere. "If you have another one of those dreams like the one you have tonight, I'll be there to save you from choking to death, Okay?"

I looked off to the side. Will you always?

I glanced at Dizzy and then sighed. "Okay."
