Rotten To The Core

Our Time Has Come

CHAPTER 2

They followed Maleficent back to where all their parents are staying. Ellie, Mal, Jay, Evie, and Carlos all stood in front of Maleficent as she filed her nails.

"You will go. You will find the fairy godmother and you will bring me back her magic wand. Easy peasy," Maleficent says as she finally looks at them.

"What's in it for us?" Mal asks as Evie and Ellie share a look of annoyance. Of course they were going to be used as per usual.

"Matching thrones. Hers-and-hers crowns," Maleficent answers her with a smirk.

"I think she meant us," Ellie says as she rolls her eyes and Mal nods in agreement. Maleficent throws the nail filer as she stands before motioning Mal towards her.

"It's all about you and me, baby," Maleficent says as Mal steps forward. "Do you enjoy watching innocent people suffer?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, who doesn't..." Mal answers not wanting to disappoint her mom.

"Well, then get me the wand and you and I can see all that and so much more. And with that wand and my scepter, I will be able to bend both good and evil to my will!" Maleficent explains causing Ellie to let out a sigh. That's all it ever was with their parents. Evil.

"Our will," The Evil Queen corrects Maleficent causing Cruela to agree with her.

"Our will, our will," Maleficent corrects before getting Mal's attention back on her. "And if you refuse, you're grounded for the rest of your life, missy."

"What... mom..." Mal goes to argue but Maleficent quickly uses her green eyes. Mal tries to fight back with her own green eyes but she fails. "Fine. Whatever."

"I win," Maleficent cheers.

"Evie, Ellie," The Evil Queen calls from where she is sitting. Evie and Ellie quickly make their way over to her.

"My little evil-ettes in training, you both just find yourself a prince with a big castle and a mother-in-law wing," The Evil Queen tells them.

"And lots and lots of mirrors!" Evie and The Evil Queen say at the same time before Evie laughs. Ellie rolls her eyes at her sister and mother since she felt differently. Ellie no doubt knew she was gorgeous because it runs in the family but she didn't get anything out of flaunting it.

"No laughing or rolling your eyes. Wrinkles," The Evil Queen orders.

"Oh, well, they're not taking my Carlos, because I'd miss him too much," Cruela says causing Carlos to look at her in hope.

"Really, mom?" Carlos asks seeing if she actually cares.

"Yes. Who would touch up my roots, fluff my fur, and scrape the bunions off my feet?" Cruela answers causing Ellie to roll her eyes. They were only ever used by the people who were supposed to love them.

"Yeah, maybe a new school wouldn't be the worst thing," Carlos says in defeat.

"Oh, Carlos, they have dogs in Auradon," Cruela says trying to get her way.

"Oh, no! I'm not going!" Carlos quickly says in fear. Maleficent lets out a grunt of annoyance.

"Well, Jay isn't going either," Jafar says as he turns away from what he was cooking. "I need him to stock the shelves in my store." Jafar turns to Jay before taking him to the side.

"Evie's not going anywhere until we get rid of this unibrow, hmm?" The Evil Queen says causing Evie to gasp and touch her eyebrows.

"What is wrong with you all?" Maleficent says finally having enough. "People used to cower at the mention of our names! For 20 years, I have searched for a way off this island. For 20 years, they have robbed us from our revenge..." Maleficent starts walking around to each villain. "revenge on Snow White and her horrible little men. Revenge on Aladdin and his bloated genie!"

"I will..." Jafar starts causing Jay to hold him back.

"Revenge on every sneaky dalmatian that escaped your clutches," Maleficent continues causing Carlos to hide behind Cruela.

"Oh, but they didn't get baby. They didn't get the baby!" Cruela cheers as she makes the puppy on her coat squeak.

"And I, Maleficent... The evilest of them all, I will finally have my revenge on sleeping beauty and her relentless little prince," Maleficent continues as she sits in The Evil Queen's lap. "Villains!"

"Yes?" Jafar and Cruela both ask.

"Our day has come," Maleficent says with a smirk. "E.Q., give them the magic mirror." Maleficent gets up and stands beside the Evil Queen.

"This is your magic mirror?" Ellie asks as the Evil Queen hands her and Evie each a small piece.

"Yeah, well, it ain't what it used to be, but then again, neither are we!" The Evil Queen says causing her and Maleficent to laugh. "It will help you find things."

"Like a prince?" Evie and Ellie ask at the same time as they look at the mirror shards.

"Like my waistline," The Evil Queen jokes.

"Like the magic wand! Hello!" Maleficent corrects. "My spell book. My book. I need my... that book." Cruela then points to the refrigerator. "Oh, ah! The safe. The safe. Queen, help me! I never can figure this thing out."

"Voila" The Evil Queen says as she easily opens it.

"My spell... come, darling. Come. Oh... ooh! Oh, Oh," Maleficent says making Mal walk over to her. "There she is. It doesn't work here, but it will in Auradon. Remember? When we were spreading evil and ruining lives."

"Like it was yesterday," The Evil Queen agrees.

"And now you will be making your own memories by doing exactly as I tell you," Maleficent tells Mal before they hear a door close outside. "Door." There is then a car horn.

"Let's get this party started!" Jay says as they all start getting their things together.

"Carlos! Come," Cruela orders before they walk downstairs.

"Who is the fairest of them all?" The Evil Queen asks Evie and Ellie.

"Us," Evie and Ellie answer causing the Evil Queen to gasp. "You."

"Yes! Let's go," The Evil Queen says before they also go downstairs.

"Now, recite our mantra," Jafar orders.

"There's no team in "I"," Jay says quickly.

"Oh, run along. You're making me tear up," Jafar says before they also go downstairs. Ellie watches as Carlos quickly throws his bag in the trunk before ducking into the car. Ellie and Evie then get in followed by Jay and Mal.

"Bring home the gold!" Jafar calls.

"Bring home a puppy," Cruela calls.

"Bring home a prince or two," The Evil Queen calls as the limo drives away.
