Authors Note: Hello everyone. I apologize for the long wait, I got caught up in work this summer and I just started my junior year of college so I haven't had time to right. Anyway, hopefully I'll be updating more now. Enjoy the chapter!

The next morning, everyone gathered around Evie so she could use her mirror to find out where Carlos was. They found him in his mother's fur store, being forced by Cruella to clean the furs repeatedly. He looked miserable. Mal and Evie shared a glance. Carlos had a rough life before the Isle, his mother used to verbally and physically abuse him and he was forced to sleep in a closet. Sometimes it was a miracle that he turned out to be such a well-rounded young boy. They decided that it was best if only two or three of them went to retrieve the young boy, so they wouldn't raise suspicion. Mal would go as the only magic user and so would Lonnie since the AK's still didn't entirely trust the VK's yet. Jay refused to be left behind as Carlos was his best friend so he went as well, plus it couldn't hurt to have some extra muscle. The three set out just before noon, arriving at their destination a few short hours later. They watched the store waiting for either Cruella to leave or for Carlos to be sent out. Luckily, Carlos was sent out first.

"Psst. Carlos." Mal whispered gesturing for the young boy to come over to them. When he spotted the group, Carlos's frown immediately turned upside down and he quickly made his way toward them. Deciding it would be best to not wait for darkness as there was no telling when Cruella would let Carlos go back outside the group made a break for it. They later watched Cruella's reaction to finding Carlos gone in the mirror, it was funny. Evie had immediately given the younger boy a hug, as had Ben and Jane. Jane had been the most forgiving of the VK's, as she now knew what it could feel like to live on the Isle and what it meant to feel guilty for her actions. Ben had never been mad at the VK's. Carlos greeted everyone in turn before realizing someone was missing.

"Where's Doug?" he asked. Mal shrugged before answering.

"We don't know. He is the only one that we haven't been able to find. We have tried asking the mirror, but it is like the mirror's signal is blocked." Mal said. At her revelation Carlos's eyes widened.

"That's not good." He said. Evie turned a questioning glance towards him. "The only way to block the magic mirror is with the magic mirror. So, that means if we can find the rest of the magic mirror we would find Doug, and I bet you can guess who has the rest of the magic mirror." He finished with a grimace.

"My mother." Evie said in a hushed whisper.

"And I bet you can guess who she is with." Carlos said.

"My mother." Mal said with a hint of fear in her voice. She quickly shook it off however and began to make plans. "That means we are going to have to face my mother before rescuing Doug, or possibly while rescuing Doug since we won't be able to find him. My mother is more than likely at Castle Beast so we will head there, if she isn't there someone is bound to be, good or evil I wouldn't know." Mal said. The others nodded and they began to plan their attack. They would wait at least a full day before attacking so that Mal could train Jane to use her magic a little bit better and Lonnie could teach those who don't know how to sword fight, the basics of sword fighting. Evie would make sure that everyone knew some basic first aid in case they were wounded in battle. Mal brought Jane just outside the cave to teach her some magic.

"Mal, thank you for being willing to teach me some magic. I wish my mother would have taught me some, then maybe I wouldn't have lost control of the wand." Jane said. Mal was about to reply when a voice spoke up from just outside the cave.

"That's going to change." It said. Mal and Jane whirled around at the voice.

"Mom!" Jane said as she rushed to hug her mother. Mal however held her back. How did Fairy Godmother escape from Maleficent? There was no way, Mal's mother would have let Fairy Godmother out of her sight.

"Mal, it's okay, it's my mom." Jane said, confused as to why Mal wouldn't let her go hug her mother.

"How do I know you are really Fairy Godmother?" Mal asked, not releasing her grip on Jane's arm.

"Why Mal dearie, I have my wand who else would I be." The woman claiming to be Fairy Godmother said.

"Cast a spell with the wand. Then I'll believe you." Mal said. A look of hesitation crossed the fairy's face before she nodded and raised the wand to cast a spell.

"Bippity Boppity Boo." She said as she waved the wand towards a tree, the sparks lighting up green. Mal's eyes widened as she cast her own spell over Jane and herself.

"A spell of safety here I cast, a word of might to hold me fast, shield before me and behind to right and left" Mal said just before the tree attacked them. Right before their eyes, the shape of Fairy Godmother melted away to reveal Maleficent cackling.

"I guess my little trick didn't work on you Mal. You're too clever for your own good. Did you really think that I didn't know what you were up to? Once Jafar told me about Jay going missing, I knew that you would be coming after Carlos next so I cast a tracking spell on him while he was sleeping. Now, come with me and I'll let the rest of your little friends go." Maleficent said. Mal thought about fighting back but realized that it was useless, she nodded. Mal turned to hug Jane, whispering in her ear before leaving.

"Tell Evie, Draco oculum observa et cave" Mal said before walking away. Jane nodded in shock at the lengths her friend was willing to go for her and her friends.

Draco oculum observa et cave roughly translates to Beware the Dragon's Eye
