When worlds collide

The countdown comences

Mal's POV

I slowly wake up, confused, my head is pounding and I don't know why and then it all starts to come back to me, the date, and then.....and then I passed out......what the hell was that? What happened? I slowly sit up and nearly jump out of me skin, where the hell am I? This isn't anywhere in Auradon, I can tell, it looks nothing like anything I've ever seen before, I get out of this bed I'm in and and walk towards a mirror at the side of this room, I take one look in the mirror and almost scream my head off, I'm in some pink pyjamas and my hair.....it's......it's blonde?! What the hell is this, what's going on?! I can't even do this, I cannot think straight and then suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my head and fall to the floor clutching it, suddenly I hear a voice that I never thought I'd hear

"My darling Mal, do you have a headache? Oh dear" I look up and see her pacing a circle around me, she smirk as she says this and  I hear a soft cackle pas her lips but she's not done, she's never done

"Where am I? What did you do?!" I yell at her frustratedly, right now I just want Ben, I want to be in his arms, feel his touch, but I can't and I have the distinct feeling I never will again, that thought makes me want to cry but I hold back my tears because that's what she wants and I will not let her win

"Isn't it obvious, I want revenge, you caused me to turn into a lizard and lost me my place as the new leader of Auradon, you lost me the wand and now you will lose everything you hold dear, but not quickly, not easily I want to see you try your hardest to get back to them and realise that you can never beat me" the menace in her voice is disturbing to say the least

"And what if I won't play your stupid little games mother?" I slowly stand up, she will not win, I won't let her

"Then I'll kill that idiot prince of yours and all your stupid little friends starting with the evil queens daughter, Evie isn't it" a smug look is painted all over her face

She's found the spot and she knows it, my soft spot, that one place she can hit me and I'll fold, I care little for myself and my own well being but Ben and Evie and the others, I could never let anything happen to them, I would willingly die first, I'm sure that she's got something up her sleeves to hurt them anyway but until then I'm gonna have to follow her rules and play her games, there will be a way to beat her because she's too cocky to think I ever could, she sees my face fall,  then I suddenly feel another sharp pain in my head and my knees buckle underneath me dropping me back to the floor, yet again in front of her on my knees, completely at her mercy, but she doesn't want to kill me, not yet anyway, she'd rather torture me a little first

"Alright fine, whatever you want I'll do it, just leave them alone mother" I hate having to give in to her, that's what I've spent my life doing but I know it's the only way, at least for now

"Good girl" the spite is uncanny

"Now where am I?!" I start to get annoyed

""Oh this? Just somewhere, it's not important where seeing as you're never  going to get back, you're trapped here unless you can figure out how to get back, but you've never been very good at getting a task done have you? You have until the new moon to get back or you lose" she makes it sound like it's just a silly little game

"What does that mean? What happens if I lose?" I have the distinct feeling I already know but I'll ask anyway

"You're stuck here forever, your body that they have back in Auradon will be just that, a corpse and nothing more, he won't forget you, but he'll forget the good things, he'll only remember the bad things about you, he'll hate you, but he'll never be able to move on, they'll all forget, eventually, that you ever existed but they'll be left bitter and unhappy forever" she enjoyed that, the thought of me dead, I could see it all over her face

"And if I win?" Those words made her face turn very sour

"You won't, it's very simple" she tries to not loose her temper, she sounds a lot more malicious that way and she knows it

"But on the off chance I do?" I want to push her, I want her to snap, to show her hand, so I can know what I'm really up against but she's hard to play, she still hasn't cracked yet and I don't thinks he will for the moment

"Then you'll have your life back, for now, but I'm afraid to say you won't, you can always try though" she lets out another cackle

"Goodbye now, and remember until the new moon, let the timer commence" and with that she disappears

Suddenly I find myself coming out of my haze, I'm still in that room but now there are people here, two girls, they look just like me, well not me, but whatever my mother has cursed me to look like, my vision is still kind of blurry but I can see that they are  knelt down either side of me trying to talk to me, I can't make out what they're saying, my head is still pounding, I feel them help me up and sit me on the bed I got up out of and sit down beside me, I need to figure out what's going on and where I am but first I need to be able to see and hear properly, I can fee the headache subsiding and I'm pretty sure it'll be gone soon, then I can finally try and get some real answers, I hope......
