Previously on Descendants.....
Queen Leah: "A chance to what, Ben? Destroy us? Come on. You remember, don't you? The poison apples. And the spells. Spells. My daughter... Was raised by fairies because of your mother's curse. So her first words, her first steps, I missed it all! You mustn't trust her"
Mal: "I'm so so...."
Chad: "Go away! Stay away from her"
Ben: "Don't do this Chad"
Chad: "What? They were raised by their parents, Ben. What do you think villains teach their kids? Huh? Kindness? Fair play? No way, okay? Uh-uh. You stole another girl's boyfriend"
Ben: "Hey, hey!"
Chad: "Oh. You enjoy hurting people. And you, you're nothing but a gold digger and a cheater"
Evie: "Mirror, mirror, in my hand, who's the biggest jerk in the land?"
Chad: "What? Come on!"
Jay: "Back off Chad! All right? Back off!"
Audrey: "Chad! Chad? Chad! Evie did something to Chad!"
Lonnie: "Wake up. Check if he's okay"
Evie: "Come on, Mal"
Ben: "Guys!"
Mal: "Jay!"
.....
Mal's pov
It was right after Family Day, and I could barely sleep. Today was an absolute disaster, it couldn't have been worse.
Queen Leah humiliated my friends and I, and no one but Ben defended us. Jane insulted us, Doug ditched us, and Lonnie didn't do anything but check her hair, and here I thought they liked us. Evie even used that spray on Chad and he nearly hit her. He definitely had it coming, but he's lucky Jay didn't kill him for raising his hand to Evie.
Why does things have to be so messed up?
Tomorrow was the coronation and I was worried because I was having doubts, we all were. If we failed....I didn't want to think about that.
Why did everything have to be so complicated? At least I had Ben, even though he was under a spell. Even after everything that happened today, he was still there for us. Maybe that was just the spell? Or maybe he actually believed in us.
Gross! What happened to me? I shouldn't be thinking like this. I'm evil, and the daughter of the mistress of evil. Why was I questioning everything I was ever raised to believe?
Ben. That was the only answer.
I looked over on my nightstand to see the small chocolate cupcake waiting in its bag. When the villains take over, I didn't want Ben to be in love with me, he's too good and didn't deserve anything bad happening to him.
"Mal I can hear you thinking from here. Are you thinking about tomorrow?" I looked over to my left, and noticed Evie looking right at me, I could see the slight frown on her face, no doubt she was thinking the same thing as me.
"I just...don't know what to do. It's not like we can tell our parents no, but with everything that happened today, there's a part of me that thinks maybe everyone deserves the villains taking over" I was pissed, Jane, Doug, and Lonnie befriended us and started to treat us like actual people, and yet they weren't there when we needed them.
"Yeah. Things seriously got out of hand, we probably should've seen that coming. I can't believe I did that to Chad, did you see the way everyone looked at us and how they all ran away? Doug looked so disappointed in me"
I actually liked Doug, he's probably one of the only boys who actually saw something in Evie, other than her looks. But he chose his side, the side with Chad and the others. I knew how hurt she was.
"What do we do tomorrow M?"
"I don't know. It's not like we will leave any friends behind when our parents take over. They all ran away" I laughed slightly
"Yeah" Evie says softly, the frown apparent in her voice
"I think I was ready to quit this whole mission, at least before today. Everything was going so well for us, now I just don't know what to do. I know we have to do this, but maybe if everyone could see what are parents are trying to make us do...they will see how much we don't want to steal anything"
I was surprised at myself. Did I actually say that out loud?
After everything that happened since leaving the Isle, I knew stealing the wand wasn't something I wanted to do. I wanted to stay with my friends and Ben.
I wish everyone could see that we have no choice.
Suddenly I felt a small burst of magic in my chest. My eyes flashed green for a moment before I felt it disappear. What was that? I didn't dwell on it for long because Evie started speaking again.
"I had a feeling that none of us wanted to do this, but hearing you admit it, is surprising" Evie responds
"But we don't have a choice, we have to steal the wand. It's the only way to make our parents proud" Our parents gave us a job, and we can't tell them no
"I know we do. We should go to sleep, it's a big day tomorrow" Evie said turning off her lamp
"Yeah. Goodnight E" I whispered and looked over towards her bed, she was wrapping her hair in a bun and placing a sleep mask over her eyes
"I just realized, this is the last night we are going to sleep in these beds. I think I'm going to miss them most of all" I told her trying to lighten the mood
"Go to sleep M" Evie tells me, and I could hear the amusement in her voice
Tomorrow was a big day, and I wasn't looking forward to it. I just hope Ben and the others understand why we have to do this, and I just hope one day he forgives me.
I closed my eyes and finally felt ready to take a deep sleep. Last night in Auradon and I was really going to miss it.
......
The sound of yelling woke me up, who could be yelling so early in the morning?
"Mal! Are you okay?" I finally opened my eyes to see Ben standing above me
"Ben? What are you doing in my room?"
"Um...you might want to look around" He said helping me stand up, I brushed off my clothes only to realize I was already dressed for the day in one of my usual leather outfits
What the hell?
I looked around to see a giant screen and a bunch of seats. We were a theater of some kind, but what surprised me more was all the people standing around me. I recognized most of them from family day, all the royal families.
"What is going on? Where are we?" I asked getting out of his arms
"You tell us, you're the one who enjoys doing magic spells around here. This is probably your fault" I hear Audrey say as she walks past Snow White and Prince Charming, as if this couldn't get any worse
"My fault? I just woke up here like everyone else. Sorry if this disrupted your beauty sleep, I know you need a lot of it" After yesterday, I was so done with her and her stuck up attitude
I heard some laughter around me, and a small smirk appeared on Ben's face, like he was trying not to laugh.
Where are my friends? I really hoped they were here too.
"Mal!" I heard Jay yell
I turned around to see my friends waiting over in the corner. I immediately walked away from Ben and went over to them and Evie gathered us all in a hug.
"Okay what is going on here? Why are we in a movie theater?" King Beast asked the room, but the only answer he got was the voices of everyone suggesting different answers, some mentioning my name
"This is making me nervous, I don't like being stuck in a room full of people who hate us" Evie said nervously, and Jay put his arm around her
"Don't worry Blue, it's going to be fine. Whoever put us here, clearly did this for a reason. We won't be stuck here" Carlos tried to cheer her up
"Yeah. This has to be magic of some kind, I just don't know what?" I told her wondering if there was even a spell for transporting large groups of people to movie theaters
"Everyone is staring at us. They think we had something to do with this" Carlos was looking past my shoulder, and we were definitely getting some angry looks
"We didn't do anything! As if we would willingly be stuck in a room with people who hate us! And Ben!" I yelled, ugh what happened to being the good guys?
Just then a light appeared, and words started to fill the screen. A few people jumped.
"Welcome to the movie Descendants. Today I will be showing you a movie about your fellow VK students and what life was really like for them living on the Isle and coming to Auradon. I ask you not to judge them harshly, for some things are not their fault. Please watch as we not only see their lives but how everyone else plays their part. Please look behind you and sit in your assigned seat" Ben finished reading and looked over towards us
"This is about us?" Evie asked not to anyone in particular
"Of course it is! As if things weren't bad enough" Jay yells throwing his hands on the air angrily
"Why would we want to learn about these kids, they were raised by the most evil people in the world. They are villains" I easily recognized that voice
"Mother please!" Aurora exclaimed
"They are not Queen Leah, and maybe whatever movie they are showing us will make you and everyone understand that. So how about we all just follow the rules and sit down" Ben expressed sternly, and I felt my heart flutter, he really does care about us
The seats in the theater each had a different name plate on them, luckily I sat next to Evie, Jay, and Carlos. We were the only ones sitting in the front row.
It seemed whoever put us here, wanted to keep us separate. Everyone else was sitting in the rows behind us, and I couldn't help but be relieved. I didn't want to sit by them either.
"Okay person who put us here, can we just start this already!" Jay said loudly in the room hoping something would happen, and luckily the movie screen started playing
I felt Evie grab my hand tightly, and I looked over to see the boys and Evie moving the arm rests so they could sit closer together, well as close as they could in their seats. They were nervous and so was I.
Suddenly I felt this warmth behind me and turned my head slightly to see Ben's hand on my shoulder. He leaned forward nervously and whispered "Whatever I see or find out, it doesn't change anything. I will still be here for you Mal"
I felt my cheeks turn instantly red, and I heard Evie start giggling. What is this boy doing to me?
Hopefully this will show....huh? Last night I wished everyone could see what we have been going through, and I can't help but think the universe listened to me and put us all in a room together.
Well time to find out.
