Mal was asleep and resting for about a week.
Ben and everyone had came visiting her numerous times.
Hoping that the next time they came, she would be awake.
Ben came the most, snuggling next to her or constantly giving her kisses.
He thought maybe a true love's kiss would work, but it didn't.
However, it may have helped with something else.
Throughout the whole week, Mal did not have one single nightmare or flashback of torture.
She had only dreams.
Dreams of her and her friends and especially Ben.
Most of the time, the gang would come in and see her smiling in her recovering sleep.
It did warm them up a little.
Yet they constantly waited for her to wake up.
By the end of the week, everyone's wish came true.
Mal was just dreaming about swimming naked with Ben in the huge Auradon ocean, kissing him under the sea.
But in the midst of it, she woke up.
Her eyes slowly began to open.
Her entire body was still in casts and still hurt.
She could not move, but she could hear something.
Or someone, right next to her.
Whoever it was, they were reading.
She began to listen carefully.
"I know you're not thirsty. That's bullshit, stop lying!" said the voice. "Lie the fuck down my darling, and sleep."
Mal recognized the voice as Mad Maddy's, and she also knew what she was reading.
And she attempted to hold back laughter.
She pretended to still be asleep as she read to listen more.
"The wind whispers soft through the grass, hun. The field mice-they make not a peep," Maddy read. "It's been 38 minutes already. Jesus Christ, what the fuck? Go…"
Maddy stopped.
She smiled as she saw Mal desperately holding back laughter.
"Or should I say, its been a week already. Jesus Christ, what the fuck? Mal's awake!" she said.
Mal just laughed out loud and Maddy too.
Mal then moved up a little, and felt pain from everywhere.
"Ow! Ow! Ow…" she whimpered.
"Settle down Mally," said Maddy.
Mal smiled again at Maddy.
"I can't believe you actually were reading that," she laughed.
"Your mother always refused to read that to us when we had sleepovers," said Maddy. "So now I'm reading it to you. One of your favorite books."
Mal smiled as Maddy put the book, Go the Fuck to Sleep, down.
"It's really been a week?" asked Mal.
"Afraid so," said Maddy. "Everyone's been visiting you though."
"How's Ben?" asked Mal.
"Worried and lonely," said Maddy. "And jealous when he sees either Evie and Carlos, Doug and Jane, Chad and Audrey, Lonnie and Jay, or any…"
"Whoa wait!" yelled Mal almost hitting her bad spots again. "When did those happen!?"
"Apparently as they were heading to rescue you," said Maddy. "They told me all what happened."
"Wow," said Mal. "Evie and Carlos. Wow."
"Want me to go get them?" asked Maddy.
"Hell! Get everyone!" said Mal.
"My pleasure," said Maddy. "By the way, I am truly loving Auradon."
"Well you deserve it," said Mal. "You tried to save me."
"Tried to?" asked Maddy as she got up. "I did!"
"Not the first time," laughed Mal.
Maddy just laughed as she walked out to get everyone.
Mal sighed and stared out the window at Auradon.
"It's so good to be home," she said.
Mal was busy eating some food beside her, waiting for everyone to come.
Pretty soon she heard voices.
She smiled happily, but that changed when she heard the voices more clearly.
"Get out of my way!" yelled one voice. "I demand to see her!"
"You are not permitted to see her!" yelled another voice.
"She is my fucking daughter!" yelled the first voice. "Out of my way minion!"
Mal gasped.
"D…daughter!?" she yelled.
The curtains burst open, and Mal was staring directly at none other than her own mother.
Maleficent.
"MOM!?" yelled Mal.
She sat up and once again fell back in pain again.
"My Mal!" Maleficent cried out. "My little baby!"
She ran up to Mal and kneeled down beside her bed.
"My god," she said. "Look at what those monsters did to you."
"Mom?" asked Mal. "How did you escape?"
"I tricked the guards into thinking my remote control's batteries were dead," said Maleficent. "I had to escape! I had to see you!"
Mal just stared at her mother crying.
She was actually crying, and she never saw her cry.
"Your highness," said Fairy Godmother, who was the other voice with Maleficent. "Shall I send her back?"
"No wait," said Mal. "Give us a few minutes."
"I swear," said Maleficent. "I'll go right back in my cage. Besides, I want to make a proper escape from here one day."
Fairy Godmother sighed, but then nodded and headed out to stand guard just in case.
"I never knew those kids would do such a thing like this," said Maleficent. "And to my own daughter! I mean did they even know who's daughter they were torturing?"
"They didn't care," said Mal. "They only wanted to make me suffer for being supposedly a traitor to evil."
"Those little savages," growled Maleficent. "If I ever get back home I will make all of them suffer."
She then stared back at Mal and began cry.
"My little girl," she said. "I'm so sorry this happened!"
"It's not your fault," said Mal.
"I'm the one who sent you here to Auradon," said Maleficent. "If you never became good then…"
"Mom!" yelled Mal. "Sending me, Evie, Carlos, and Jay here was the best thing you ever did!"
Maleficent stared at her.
"I like being good mom," said Mal. "It makes me feel good. It makes me feel happy. It helped me fall in love with Ben."
"But…" said Maleficent.
"I'm sorry mom if this isn't what you wanted," she said. "But it's the life I want. And because of everyone saving me, I get to continue it."
Maleficent was silent for a moment.
"So this is what you really want?" she asked.
Mal nodded.
"Then I suppose I can't stop you," she said. "You are a big girl now. After all you were almost killed."
"Don't remind me," said Mal.
"But do you realize if this is what you chose, I may get out one day and you will have to fight me," said Maleficent. "Is that what you want?"
"I will fight you again," said Mal.
She then smiled.
"But I won't kill you," she said.
Maleficent just stared, and then broke into tears while laughing.
"Oh my Mal!" she cried.
She bent down and hugged and kissed her.
"I love you so much…" she cried.
"Mom…" Mal said, beginning to cry now.
Maleficent hugged Mal while Mal put her good arm around her, hugging her back.
Meanwhile, the gang had just arrived, and saw what was going on.
They stayed back as they watch the mother and daughter hug one another tightly.
It almost made them want to cry to.
For no one had ever seen Maleficent cry as well.
