Can we change it? (Prequel To It Ends With You Or Me)

part 17

Lonnie started reading the next chapter.

Mal woke up after nearly 30 minutes while the others sighed in relief.

All the audience also sighed in relief.

"Mal, why do you always put your life at stake?" Ben asked holding her extra tightly to him.

"Yeah, why? We alsi want to know" Ben stated while the others nodded.

"Because it's my duty as the queen of Auradon" she said .

"I'm the king of Auradon, so it's my duty too" Ben said to his wife.

"But I'm the king and I also have responsibilities" he tried to tell her but she didn't listen to his words.

"Stubborn girl" Ben said and kissed her head.

"So, anyone wanna take a tour of moors?" Mal asked the others.

"Is it safe ?" Belle asked.

While the others nodded Ben was still sceptical.
"Are you sure?" Ben asked still concerned about his wife. Mal nodded.
So after 10 minutes they started walking and sight seeing around the moor lands.
"The place is still the same, except for that dark gloomy castle over there" aurora pointed out.

"Yeah, I guess. It never changes" mal muttered remembering her visits to moors.

"It was later made by my mother, she would always bring me here for my punishments" mal said with a little shudder towards the end. Ben noticed it and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"You're okay" he whispered while reassuring her.

"I know" mal said and hugged him tight.

Mal nodded and again they started sight seeing.
They met many moorish creatures on their way. The children specially enjoyed their company.

"Yeah, you guys will enjoy the moorish people" Audrey said.

As they were taking rest after sometime, mal decided that she have to talk with the tree gaurds.
"You all wait here, I'm gonna talk with the tree gaurds about something" she said and went off towards two of the tree gaurds who were following them.
"Listen, I need your help. You see, my mother will come to moors very soon. I know you all love me, but you have to do this thing for me. When she will come here, you'll take me as hostage, and act like you're following my mother's order, and will bring me to her. I know she will torture me, and then I'll act like I have died. Then you'll take me from there to the hideout towards my family" she said. The tree gaurds were a little hesitant to attack mal but still nodded.

"Mal?!" Ben said in warning.
"You'll tell us about the plan in future, and we'll help you" Ben continued, while leaving no room for argument.

Mal's actual plan was to make maleficent think that she had killed her own daughter and then attack her with the others.

Mal nodded, and thought that it's a good plan.

She didn't wanted to let the others know about the Mal, so she kept quiet from them.

"I hate when you keep us in the dark" Audrey and Evie said worried for their friend

Upon being asked about her conversation, she told them that it was about security and safety.

"Don't lie to us, Mally" Persephone said while hades agreed.

Mal was determined that this fight will bring end to her mother's terror reign.

"This was a short chapter, so who will read the next one?" Lonnie asked

"Can I read, aunt Lonnie" Douglas said.
"Sure" Lonnie replied and passed him the book to continue the reading.
