It was a peaceful morning without any trouble as everyone were going with their daily lives. Mal walked into the forest in a hurry and kept looking back to see no one following her to her relief. She looked around seeing nothing out of the ordinary until she smelled smoke close by. Walking carefully Mal searched for the smell to find Livia sitting on her knees in front of a tiny alter with candles, herbs, crystals, and what surprised her was the feather in the center beginning to hover. Livia had her eyes closed and doing some meditating focusing her on her energy not anything distract her. "What's going on, Mal?" Said Livia opening her eyes. Mal walked over to her carefully seeing the feather float down and sat down next to her. "I just needed to get away from the paparazzi." Said Mal. "I know they are a pain in the butt. They just want a story to make a quick buck to get what Auradon wanted to hear." Said Livia fixing Mal's blonde purple ombre hair. "I know and it's bad enough that I need to be the perfect girlfriend but have to be Auradon material." Said Mal. "You're a perfect match for Ben by just being you. I told you many times that you don't need to change for anyone." Said Livia. "Easy for you to say. They don't go into your personal space throw every question that you know about. Sometimes my inner dragon wants to get out. You know." Said Mal looking at her. "Okay how about we have another Girl's Day to calm you down and forget everything." Said Livia. "I would but got classes and have to attend interviews with Ben." Said Mal as Livia grabbed a tiny pouch putting in her crystals. "What are you doing?" Said Mal looking at her. "I'm giving you a few crystals to help you relief the stress. This has Rose Quartz, Lepidolite, and Amethyst. Carry it in your purse or put in your room." Said Livia placing it in her hands.
Mal held onto it for a moment then looked at Livia putting her stuff in the box. "Maybe I can stop by tonight at your suite." Said Mal feeling Livia rub her back. "Let me walk with you to find Ben in case the paparazzi invade your space." Said Livia helping her stand up. Mal dusted the dirt off her skirt and walked with Livia. "Anything from August?" Said Mal. "He's still in New Orleans learning from Mama Odie's great granddaughter on new things." Said Livia. "Oh almost forgot. Evie wants you at her cottage for a fitting on your dress for the cotillion." Said Mal. "That's three months away." Said Livia. "You gave the name Queen of Fashion and is sticking to it." Said Mal. "But I'm no one special like everyone here. I'm the freak of nature. The woman who's crazier than Mad Madame Mom." Said Livia. "You're nothing like that." Said Mal. "The press have a say in it." Said Livia seeing Ben walking out with Jane. "Go on." Said Livia. "Thanks. See you tonight." Said Mal walking towards Ben and Jane. Livia smiled at them then got blinded by the cameras and immediately surrounded by the press. "Is it true that you almost married a Killer?" Said a man holding a recorder to her face. "No comment. Move. Hey!" Said Livia pushing away from her. "Did you abandoned Jason or did you kill him?" Said a woman. "Id never do that to my son. Get out of my way!" Said Livia getting mad. "So did you murder your son in cold blood?" Said the same woman until Ben stepped in front of them. "Everyone please leave. All you're doing is upsetting her." Said Ben as Livia shoved the press aside walking to the dorms towards her suite.
She was to focused to see Carlos talking to her. "Livia? Whats wrong?" Said Carlos waving his hand in front of her face. "What? Oh sorry Carlos. Did you need something?" Said Livia looking at him. "Its kinda embarrassing but i need some advice. Can we talk in your suite?" Said Carlos gesturing her door. She nodded and let him in setting her box down on her alter before having a seat facing him. "Whats going on?" Said Livia. "How do you tell someone you like them?" Said Carlos. "You just go for it and tell them. But if your shy just do a simple gesture like asking them to hang out with you somewhere special." Said Livia. "And worked for you before." Said Carlos. "Yeah. My other boyfriends in high school were either shy or confident. They took to simple places or spot that didnt seem like a date until they tell me the reason as of why it was just us." Said Livia. "But what if she doesn't like me back?" Said Carlos. "What kind of girl doesnt like a smart, kind, and adorable animal lover? I know Jane will be happy to be with you." Said Livia. "Did Jason eavesdrop again?" Said Carlos looking around for him. "No because i see the puppy look you give to Jane when she isnt looking." Said Livia. "Its that obvious huh?" Said Carlos. "Only those who have a sharp eyes." Said Livia. "You need anything else?" She asked. "Oh yeah. If youre planning to go on the Isle. I got Fury a rope to chew on. I had a huge bone for him but dude stole that." Said Carlos taking it out of his backpack. "He'll love it." Said Livia taking from him. "I should get going. Thanks Livia." Saod Carlos walking out.
After a few hours past with night reaching its peak Livia sat on the living area watching a movie until the news popped up making her groan. "In todays gossip in Auradon. We have sources say that Jason who is the son Livia has died. Its unknown for the cause of death but the fingers are pointed to his own mother. Heres a photo of Livia in the forest with what looks like a shrine of Jason surrounded by roses and white candles. We have heard stories of what she can do but is she really a good person that we can trust. What other secrets is she hiding? How do we know if we're ever safe with her?" Said a newswoman as Livia shut the tv off. She grabbed a few things for Mal in a basket walking to her shared dorm knocking on the door to see Evie. "Oh Hi Livia. Im glad your here." Said Evie. "Actually i need to go. Im just here to give Mal a few things for her Me Time. You know." Said Livia handing her the basket. "Oh but can it wait because i . . ." "No it cant. Im sorry but something happened which you'll know sooner or later. Night Evie." Said Livia walking back to her suite to pack what she needed. She went out to the docks looking around for any security before climbing on the boat. Her phone with messages from August to the Vks to Fairy Godmother which she all ignored. Upon reaching the spot she found Livia got off and let the boat drive itself back to Auradon. She looked at the barrier and walked through it while covering her face with her hoodie heading to her bus. As she did so two boys watched her disappear in the alley and looked at each other. "Should we tell Uma that Livia is back?" Said the dirty blonde pirate. "Sounds like a good plan. But lets find out how and why she came back." Said the brown haired pirate with a red coat and a hook. "Harry and Gil stalking the killer mom." Said the blonde. "Let get going before she locks up." Said Harry dragging Gil to follow Livia.
