{THIRD PERSON POV}
The group is in Audrey's dorm while Audrey is laying in her bed, looking lifeless. George and Evie sat on either side of Audrey's bed while Mal sat next to Evie as the others found a place around the room.
"She's slipping away," Evie said, worriedly as she looked at Audrey. George dropped his head before sharing a look with Mal and Evie.
"There's only one person in the world who might be able to do something about this, and that's Hades," George told the group.
"Hades?" Anthony asked George in disbelief as George looked at him, "He wouldn't do it. I wouldn't risk it."
"Actually, he might do it for me," Mal told Anthony, "He's my father." The group exchanged shocked looks.
"Okay," Ben exhaled, nervously, "Well, I'll have to send guards to get him."
"Maybe we can hitch a ride," Uma cuts in, referring to her and Max, as the group looks at her.
"The Isle is our home. Someone needs to be there to protect it," Max told the group.
"Well then, you will need your first mate," Harry smiled as he came up behind Uma and Max and wrapped his arm around their shoulders.
"The Isle will be in very good hands," Mal told the three with a smile as they smiled back.
"Can Celia and I go, too?" Theodore asked Mal and George as he and Celia stood up and walked over to the others as the group looked at them.
"We wish we could be in both places," Celia added as her brother rubbed her shoulder.
George looked down sadly before standing up and looking at Uma and Max, "I really think that Evie was right and... I do think that we could've been friends," George told the two with a smile as they smiled back, "And me and Mal are really sorry that we lied to all of you guys. You deserved so much better than that."
"You both were just trying to do the right thing," Jay assured George and Mal.
"Yeah," Uma nodded.
George turned to Evie as Evie stood up, "I get it," Evie told George, softly causing George and Mal to smile.

The next morning Anthony, George, Mal, Ben, Ben and Anthony's parents, Queen Leah, and Fairy Godmother were all in Audrey's dorm. They all were waiting for the guards to arrive with Hades. Beast was pacing, back and forth in the room, Fairy Godmother and Queen Leah sat next to Audrey on both sides of the bed, Belle was standing next to Fairy Godmother, George, Mal, Anthony and Ben stood next to each other at the foot of the bed. All of a sudden, there was a knock at the door and Beast opened it. He moved over to the side as the guards led Hades into the room as Mal took a deep breath before walking over to stand in front of Hades, with George behind her.
"Thank you for coming," George told the god of the underworld, softly.
"Didn't have much of a choice," Hades said, sarcastically, referring to the guards that surrounded him.
"Can you wake her?" Ben asked Hades as he took a step forward as Hades looked at him.
"Since when do heroes care about villains?" Hades asked, raising his eyebrows.
"She's..." Anthony started as he, Ben, George, and Mal glanced at Audrey.
"One of your own," Hades finished, knowingly as Mal, George, Anthony and Ben looked back at him, "Right," Hades scoffed, "When you guys try to destroy the world... it's an error in judgment but when it's one of us... lock them up and throw away the key," Hades turned to Beast, "Right, Beast?"
Hades sighed as he held up his hands causing George and Mal to step back, "Yeah, I'm gonna need to use my hands," Hades reminded them as they all looked at Ben who nodded his head. The guards quickly unlocked his handcuffs causing Hades to shack out his hands before holding a hand towards Mal and giving her a look. Mal hesitantly put the ember in his hand which caused him to close his eyes and let its magic flow through his body as his hair lit up on fire, "Haven't lost my touch," Hades told Mal, grinning as he looked down at his ember. He started walking towards the bed but Beast was in his way. Hades growled at Beast which caused Beast to growl back louder.
"Dad!" Mal cuts in, causing both men to stop. Hades shrugged before walking over to the bed with Mal, Ben Anthony and George following him as Belle walked over to her husband. Hades stood at the foot of the bed, in front of Audrey. Hades started to wave his arms around Audrey as the room lit up blue. Everyone gasped in shock after the third time as Audrey shot up from the bed and opened her eyes.
"Audrey!" Queen Leah exclaimed as she stood up to help Audrey while everyone else looked at Hades in shock.
"Tell me it was all a bad dream," Audrey whispered to Mal and Ben.
"I wish I could," Ben told Audrey, sadly, "But it's over now," Ben continued as Hades scoffed.
"I'm sorry," Audrey told Mal and George, softly as she crawled to the edge of the bed, sitting in front of George and Mal, "I wanted to hurt you both. I wanted to hurt all of you."
Mal stepped forward and grabbed one of Audrey's hands, "We have owed you an apology for..."
"A very long time now," George finished, softly as Audrey softly smiled at him.
"And so have we," Ben and Anthony added as they both stepped up behind George and Mal causing Audrey to look up to them with a soft smile.
"And, perhaps, I have owed you one too," Queen Leah told Mal with a soft smile before giving Mal a curtsy as Mal gave one back.
Beast gestured to the guards, who stepped forward and grabbed Hades.
"Oh, yeah," Hades said before the guards handcuffed him and escorted him out the room. Mal paused before following them into the hallway.
The rest all stayed in the room, in the silence before Ben went out of the room and the rest followed, now it was just Anthony, Audrey and George in the room.
George sighed, heavily, "Well, that was intense..." Anthony and Audrey laughed as Anthony sat down with Audrey on her bed.
Anthony hugged Audrey real tight, "I'm so glad you're okay, Lee-bear," Anthony said with a smirk, causing Audrey to gasp in fake offense, lightly punching Anthony's shoulder, "Ooh, you got me," Anthony said, pretending it hurt, causing Audrey to laugh.
"Sorry, Annie-boo," Audrey said before the two laughed as George chuckled at the sight of two. They're okay, everything is okay, now.
