Mal jumped forward and snatched the wand from Jane. With the wand out of her hand, she froze then looked at Mal before running away into the crowd. Priscilla eyes followed the girl in blue before turning around to see Mal standing uncertainly with the wand clenched tightly in both hands, holding it out and away from her body
Ben was the one to approach her, one hand reaching out to her while the other was to keep his parents back "Mal?" He called, gently but firmly "Give me the wand"
"Stand back!" She warned, the large doors were pushed open and the two other isle of the lost students came running, Carlos turned to look at Priscilla before slowly walked to the his group of friends.
Priscilla head turned to him as he walked, "Carlos?" She called out quietly. The boy didn't give a glance back. He couldn't look at her, he just couldn't.
"It's okay," Promised the newly king
"Ben, I said stand back!" Mal warned again, her voice louder "I told you so!" Audrey called out
"Audrey!" Priscilla gasped pushing her sister back as Mal turned to face her with the wand and the people moved back, shrieking. When Priscilla looked forwards again, Carlos has yet looked at her but was looking at Mal
"Let's go!" He ushered
"Revenge time.." Jay's voice was low but she still heard him. Revenge?, thought Priscilla to herself
"You really want to do this?" Ben asked Mal, Mal looked as if she was on the edge of crying, her hands shaking
"We have no choice, Ben!" She pleaded "Our parents–"
"Your parents made their choice," He said cutting her off. He lowered his hand "Now you make yours"
The silence was deafening as Mal hesitated, the entire cathedral was holding their breaths. Priscilla thought for sure the sound of her heart pounding was enough to echo within as she stared openly at the four, at Carlos in particular. Her heart was physically ached as she looked at him. Tears were falling down her cheeks
Even after everything. She thought he was making progress at school, the environment, with dude and Rouge, the tourney team, even with her
Carlos dared to glance at her, she could see that he was clenching his fist. She dared to take a few steps forward. She knows that he cared. About his friends, about her
"I think.." Mal's voice came "I think I want to be good.."
Ben was quick to assure her, "You are good"
"How do you know that?" She cried, desperate to understand "Because.." He trailed off "Because I'm listening to my heart"
Mal was quiet, trying to wrap her head around Ben's words. The princess saw the tension leave her shoulders "I want to listen to my heart too" There was another before she turned to face her friends "And my heart is telling me that we are not our parents"
Mal looked at Jay, Beginning to smile "I mean, stealing things doesn't make you happy" She reasoned "Tourney and victory pizza with the team makes you happy" Her words and a yell from a tourney member made Jay let out a smile. Then she turned to Carlos
"And you, scratching Dude's belly makes you happy. Who would've thought?" The purplenette glanced over to the girl in Blue and her smile grew "And being with Priscilla makes you very happy"
Looks like she knew all this time.
At the mention of her name, Carlos mood lifted and smiled at Mal, happily guilty. She then turned to Evie, who already had tears down her cheek "And Evie.. you do not have to play dumb to get a guy. You are so smart"
Mal let a breath "And I don't want to take over the world with Evil. It doesn't make me happy" She sniffed, her eyes filled with tears "I want to go to school and be with Ben... Because Ben makes me really happy" She lifted her hand showing the ring Ben had giving her as she turned to the boy
Ben looked up from the ground looking relieved
"Us being friends make me really happy" Dhe continued, turning back to the three "Not destroying things"
Mal let out a deep breath out and held out her feet
"I choose good, you guys"
Through the heavy pause, Jay brought his fist up to hers "I choose good too"
"I choose good" Evie fist meet theirs, agreeing breathily. All left is Carlos.
"So, just to be clear" Started Carlos "We don't have to worry about how mad our parents are going to be? Because they're gonna be really, really mad" This made the group laugh
Ben stepped forward "Your parents can't reach you here"
At his words, Carlos looked at Priscilla and smiled. Keeping the eye contact, he brought his fist to meet with the others fists
"Okay, then good"
The suffering silence had now lifted and everyone beginning to smile. Priscilla could still feel the tears rolling down, as she wiped them away she let out a chuckle. The tears were not happy tears. Mal nodded towards Ben to join them and an applause broke out when his fist met the VKs. It was nice to finally to take a breathe
But of course the happy moment had to be ruined. There was an explosion making everyone duck their head down. Covering her head, she took a peek and saw green smoke coming down. Everyone shuffled back as the smoke swirled around the room before landing in front of the VKs. The green smoke then cleared within a moment to reveal the horned Villain. Dressed entirely in black, a tall scepter in their right hand. Maleficent
"I'm baack!" Maleficent voice sung
Everyone expression was turned yet again to fear. Fairy godmother was gaping openly, Belle was holding onto Ben's arm, and Priscilla's eyes widen in fright, seeing her family enemy. The beam of magic from Jane took the wand must've struck the barrier, enough for the Mistress of Evil to break herself free
"Go away, mother," Sighed Mal
"She's funny!" Crackled the girl's mother. The villain continued to laugh and let out a snort, "I'm so–you're very funny. Here"
Her laughter fell instantly as she sternly looked at her daughter "Wand me. Chop chop"
"No!" Yelled Ben
Fairy godmother tried to cast a spell once Mal tossed the wand to her, but Maleficent beat her to it. Everyone in crowd vision went black as they froze. All but the Villains
