It took long enough, but Mal managed to recover from the video Flash made her watch.
Her mind was still melting, but she could think much clearer again.
She just couldn't take it anymore.
She didn't want death, nor to even escape.
She didn't care that everywhere around her hurt unbearably.
She couldn't feel her legs, she was still dripping with blood and lashed, cut, clawed, and scraped everywhere, and so much more.
But all she really wanted right now, was to try and sleep.
She put her head down and attempted to fall asleep.
But then suddenly, the door opened up.
"What!?" whined Mal. "Not now! You guys just left!"
"I'm not everyone," said one voice. "It's just me."
Mal opened her eyes.
"I know that voice!" she gasped.
"Been a while hasn't it Mally?" asked the voice.
The figure came into Mal's view, and she was shocked to see whom it was.
It was Madison Mim, or Mad Maddy.
She was not only the daughter of Madam Mim, but she was Mal's childhood "friend."
They were never truly friends, but their parents were because of their love for turning into dragons.
Mal remembered playing mean jokes on Maddy, like shaving all her doll's hair and putting lye in her hair too.
Many people called them twins, and Mal hated that.
She had so many reasons to hate her and want to torture her.
And now most likely she wanted to torture her alone like Yuki did.
"Well then," sighed Mal. "Get it over with Maddy. You have all the reason to hate me."
"You're right," said Maddy. "I do have a reason to hate you."
Maddy held her hand up and Mal closed her eyes.
"Well actually I did," said Maddy.
"What?" asked Mal.
She opened her eyes as Maddy threw a spell into Mal.
She expected excruciating pain, but she didn't.
She felt something else in her entire body.
The pain everywhere disappeared.
She could feel her legs again.
"What the?" asked Mal. "What are you…"
"What does it look like?" said Maddy pulling out a knife. "I'm getting you out of this hell and off this island! That was a numbing spell and a powerful one. Yet it won't last long."
"What!?" yelled Mal.
"Shhh!" shushed Maddy. "Not so loud!"
"Sorry!" said Mal as Maddy cut all her binds.
Mal slowly stood up and found herself able to stand.
Maddy quickly made a robe appear in her hand and gave it to Mal and she put it on.
"Why Maddy?" asked Mal. "Why are you doing this?"
"Because I can't take this," said Maddy. "I can't stand these…monsters…doing this to you. You were my best friend once, and I can't take this anymore."
"Maddy…" said Mal almost crying.
This time it was tears of joy.
"I will get you out of here," said Maddy. "The limo will be unprotected and I can easily get you home to Auradon."
"Thank you Maddy!" cried Mal.
"But just promise me one thing," said Maddy. "Please let me come back to Auradon."
"Doing this for me?" asked Mal. "Fuck yes!"
Maddy smiled and they both hugged.
"Now come! Quickly!" she yelled.
Mal nodded and they both dashed out of the room towards their escape.
Maddy and Mal crept down the hallways, avoiding any of the children walking by.
"What do you guys do on break?" asked Mal. "And where are we even?"
"The sewers," said Maddy. "And during break, we discuss how we're going to torture you or why we hate you."
"Friendly," said Mal.
They crept past more children, and then they came across goblins.
"What!?" Mal yelled quietly. "You guys have goblins!?"
"Just in case any of the parents come," said Maddy.
"What!?" yelled Mal. "Your parents don't know any of you are doing this?"
"Afraid not," said Maddy. "The goblins are here to distract or hold them off."
"Why?" asked Mal as they continued to sneak past everyone. "Why not just kill me now?"
"Our boss wouldn't allow it," said Maddy.
"Boss?" asked Mal. "I thought Desmond and Felicia are running this!"
"No they are leading the tortures," said Maddy. "But there's someone else running this."
"I don't want to even know who it is," said Mal. "Just get me out of here!"
"Well here we go," said Maddy. "Look!"
Mal looked and they saw a ladder.
"Your freedom awaits you!" said Maddy. "And much quicker than expected."
They both ran for it, but then disaster struck.
Mal and Maddy skidded to a stop as the ladder suddenly disappeared.
"What!?" yelled Mal.
"No!" yelled Maddy. "An illusion spell!?"
"Of course," said a voice.
They both turned and found themselves surrounded by goblins with Desmond and Felicia.
Maddy began to throw spells at goblins and they were blasted back.
She was about to throw one at Desmond when Felicia stopped her.
Desmond then lifted Mal into the air.
"First let's remove this spell," said Desmond.
He snapped his fingers and Mal felt every bit of pain her body again.
She yelled out loudly.
"NO!" yelled Maddy. "Stop!"
Felicia shook her head sadly and walked up to Maddy.
"Maddy, Maddy, Maddy," she sighed. "Mad, Mad Maddy."
Maddy growled at Felicia.
"I expected you to be one of the best torturers," said Felicia. "You hated Mal the most and had a perfect torture planned too."
She then frowned.
"But yet you betray all of us," she said. "You are yet another traitor to all evil."
She then sarcastically gasped.
"What will the boss think?" she gasped.
"Fuck you! And fuck the boss!" yelled Maddy.
"You need to be punished," said Felicia. "And you will be."
"NO PLEASE!" yelled Mal. "Don't torture her! I beg you!"
"Oh we won't torture her," said Desmond. "At least not physically."
"What?" asked Mal.
"Just you two wait," said Desmond.
He looked at Mal.
"And you, back in your cage," he said.
He snapped his fingers and Mal was back in her room tied to her chair.
She looked around at where she was.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" she screamed.
She was right back in hell, and she was so close to escape.
Now her only hope was Ben, and hopefully Maddy if she could escape.
Wow! So someone did request that I make one child help Mal, and the truth is whomever you are, I had this idea long before you suggested it. And now we find out there is someone else leading this. That person will be the main antagonist of this whole story. The question is who. Any ideas? Any guesses? If not stay tuned!
See you next update! Review please dearies!
