Mallory The Sleeping Beauty Part 2
Previously on Descendants:
"So, Mal," Ben asked his daughter. "are you all packed for your first day at Auradon Prep?"
"Almost, Father," the almost 15-year-old Princess Mallory said. "I just need to grab my book of sheet music for the keyboard as well as my electric keyboard."
"It hurts to let my baby go!" Queen Mallory sobbed bitterly, hugging Princess Mallory.
"Mother! I'm hardly a baby anymore! I'll be 15-years-old next week!" Princess Mallory said to the queen.
"You'll always be my baby, Mal." Queen Mal said to her daughter.
"I know," Princess Mal said to Queen Mal, her green eyes welling up with tears. "I'm just going to miss you and Father over my 15th birthday!"
"I know," Ben said to Mallory. "but Mother and I have to go to Northern Wei to sign a treaty."
"I wish I wasn't royalty." Princess Mal sighed.
Queen Mal sat next to her daughter on her daughter's bed, "Being royal can be hard at times, I should know." she said.
Princess Mallory moved a lock of her curly honey-brown hair away from her eyes, "You... know how I feel, Mom?" she asked.
"Indeed I do, Starshine." Queen Mal said to Princess Mal.
Justin: Every time I think I'm closer to the heart;
Of what it means to know just who I am;
I think I've finally found a better place to start;
But no one ever seems to understand;
I need to try to get to where you are;
Could it be you're not that far;
You're the voice I hear inside my head;
The reason that I'm singin';
I need to find you;
I gotta find you;
You're the missing piece I need;
The song inside of me;
I need to find you;
I gotta find you;
Been feeling lost, can't find the words to say;
Spending all my time stuck in yesterday;
Where you are is where I wanna be;
Oh next to you... you next to me;
Oh! I need to find you;
You're the voice I hear inside my head;
The reason that I'm singin';
I need to find you;
I gotta find you;
You're the missing piece I need;
The song inside of me;
I need to find you;
I gotta find you.
"Are you all set to go to Auradon Prep, Justin?" Freddie asked.
"Yes, Mom, I am." Justin answered.
"I heard the song you were singing just now," Freddie observed. "did you write it, Justin?"
"Yes I did, Mom," Justin answered. "it's for the girl from my dream."
Mal: I've always been the kind of girl;
That hid my face;
So afraid to tell the world;
What I've got to say;
But I have this dream;
Right inside of me;
I'm gonna let it show it's time;
To let you know;
It's to let you know;
This is real;
This is me;
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now;
Gonna let the light;
Shine on me;
Now I've found who I am;
There's no way to hold it in;
No more hiding who I wanna be;
This is me.
A teenage girl with dark blue hair and dark brown eyes heard the song and entered the dorm bedroom with her luggage in hand.
"Hi, you must be my new roomie," Mal said. "I'm Princess Mallory Floriane, Mal to my friends, if I had any, who are you?"
"My name is Daniella, Ella to my friends," Daniella said to Mal. "by the way, are you related to King Benjamin Florian, Queen Mallory formerly Maleficent Bertha, King Adam, and Queen Belle?"
"My mother, my father, and my paternal grandparents respectively, I am also Maleficent's, the witch who cursed Queen Audrey's mother when she was born... well, I'm not proud of this... but I am her as well as Hades's granddaughter on my mom's side." Mallory sighed.
"It's rough being a grandchild of a villain, believe me," Daniella said to Mallory. "by the way, did you write that song you were singing?"
"Yes, I did." Mallory answered Daniella.
"Cool! Is there any more to it?" Daniella asked Mallory.
"I'm... working on it, it's a work in progress." Mallory confessed.
"You're so good at playing music and singing," Daniella said. "you should join me in the school band as well as try out for the school's chorus, if I could sing like you, maybe I'd try out for the chorus."
"Thanks, Ella," Mallory said. "I think I will try out for the band and the chorus."
"Anytime, Mal." Daniella said.
Now on Descendants:
The next day at Auradon Prep, Mallory was on her way to her first class of the day when she ran into the Hook twins.
"Well, well, well," Aurora said. "look who it is, James! Little Miss Spawn of Evil!"
"We had better be careful, Aurora," James added. "Maleficent Junior here might put a curse on us!"
Mallory felt a knot in her stomach, "I need to see Headmistress Jane! Please excuse me." she said to the Hook twins.
Over on the tourney field, Justin couldn't keep his head in the game.
"Justin! Hey! Justin," Julian shouted. "are you all right?"
"It's that voice," Justin answered Julian. "I can't get it out of my head."
"Voice? What voice?" Julian asked Justin.
"It's a mystery, Julian," Justin answered. "I don't know."
After seeing Headmistress Jane about the intense knot in her stomach, Mallory decided that the time had come to rest in her dormitory bedroom.
Instead of lying on her bed, Mallory decided to sit down at her keyboard.
When Daniella showed up.
"Do you have more of your song for me?" Daniella asked the Princess of Auradon.
"You bet I do!" Mallory answered Daniella.
"Well, sing it!" Daniella said to Mallory.
Mallory cleared her throat and began to sing the lyrics as she played the song's melody on her keyboard.
Mallory: Do you know what it's like;
To feel so in the dark;
To dream about a life;
Where you're the shining star;
Even though it seems;
Like it's too far away;
I have to believe in myself;
It's the only way;
This is real;
This is me;
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now;
Gonna let the light;
Shine on me;
Now I've found who I am;
There's no way to hold it in;
No more hiding who I wanna be;
This is me.
"That was excellent, Mal!" Daniella exclaimed.
"It was?" the Princess of Auradon asked Daniella.
"Of course it was!" Daniella said to Mallory.
In Auradon Prep's fine dining hall at supper that night, Carlistle noticed that Mallory had a far off look in her eyes.
"Mal? Mal? Hello, is anybody home in there?" Carlistle asked, snapping his fingers.
"Must... go... something... is... pulling... me..." Mallory said, she sounded like she was in a trance.
Mallory rose up from the table and walked out of the room.
"Mallory? Mallory?" Julian asked.
"Julian! We should just leave Mal be! There is no use in racing after her!" Daniella reminded.
"But still... I think we should follow her." Julian said to Daniella.
Daniella, Carlistle, and Julian jumped up from the table they were sitting at in order to follow the Princess of Auradon.
Carlistle, Daniella, and Julian raced out into Auradon City.
"Mallory went into the museum!" Daniella observed.
"Why'd she go in there anyway?" Julian asked.
"I'm going to get my mom," Carlistle announced. "perhaps she'll know what to do, you keep following Mal."
Carlistle turned to go back to Auradon Prep for help, but Daniella stopped him in his tracks.
"Wait! Carlistle! We don't have time!" Daniella warned.
"Ella's right, Carlistle," Julian agreed. "this is a do or die situation! We've got to follow Mallory!"
Meanwhile, Princess Mallory was entranced and heading for her maternal grandmother's spinning wheel.
Carlistle, Daniella, and Julian went into the museum after Mallory.
"Have you any idea where Mallory could be, Carlistle?" Daniella asked.
"Oh my gosh! Mad Maddy!" Carlistle exclaimed.
"Oh no! Where's Mallory?" Julian exclaimed.
"We shouldn't have left her alone! Mal!" Daniella exclaimed.
Mallory was still spelled by her maternal grandmother's spinning wheel.
"Touch the spindle! Touch it I say!" Mad Maddy commanded Mallory.
"No! Mal! Don't touch anything!" Julian, Carlistle, and Daniella called in terrified unison.
Daniella, Julian, and Carlistle continued to race after Mallory.
The princess pricked her finger on the spindle and fell to the museum's floor in a deep siesta.
"You fools, you thought you were a match for me," Maddy shouted. "well! Here's your precious Princess Mallory!"
Maddy stepped aside revealing the sleeping Mallory.
"Mal!" Carlistle, Julian, and Daniella exclaimed.
Maddy disappeared from the museum.
"Oh, poor Mallory," Daniella sobbed bitterly. "I will never forgive myself!"
"It's not all your fault." Julian said to Daniella, also sobbing.
"Julian and I are to blame as well!" Carlistle sobbed, tears streaming down in pails.
Coming up in chapter 6: Mallory The Sleeping Beauty Part 3:
"Poor Ben and Mal." Jay said, sighing sadly.
"They will be heartbroken when they find out about their baby girl." Lonnie said in agreement.
"They won't find out that easily." Carlos said.
"They won't?" Evie asked.
"What are you saying?" Doug asked Carlos.
"I am going to put everyone in the United States of Auradon to sleep," Jane said, just before Carlos even got the chance to speak. "that is... until Mallory awakens."
"Do you think it will work?" Jay asked Jane.
"It's got to work." Jane answered Jay.
"I trust you." Carlos said to Jane.
"I guess I should get started then." Jane said, sighing sadly.
