FG: "Well.. that went well"

Mal and Carlos were on the ground, Maleficent had passed out

Mal was worried: "She needs to eat"

Carlos was nodding

FG was touched by this, despite everything they wanted to take care of their mother

Carlos: "If she's too weak we can't send her until tomorrow"

Mal: "Or later"

FG thought: Uh so not really worried for her

Jane: "Let's go back in the Castle, we can let her eat something and sleep for a while. The King will send her back the normal way"

Evie and Jay: "They are here"

Ben sprinted out of the living room and reached the garden where Mal and Carlos were bend over a woman, Ben was too focused on Mal to care, he saw FG and Jane and they seemed fine

Mal seemed to feel his presence and looked up, she whispered: "Ben". She smiled, just seeing him made her feel better

Ben smiled too: "Mal" then his glaze fell to the woman and recognised Maleficent "What happened?"

Mal was about to explain but she freezed and said: "She isn't breathing" she seemed angry and worry at the same time

Carlos: "For the love of evil, Mother! For once in your life stop making our lives so hard" he was worry too

Mal kept shaking Maleficent: "Mother come on. It isn't funny"

Maleficent was very pale at this point and kind of blue

Mal: "MOM WAKE UP" she stopped acting like she didn't care

Evie, Jay, Adam and Belle had arrived and were surprised by Mal's tone

Carlos dropped the act a few moments after his sister: "Come on you can't die like this. You are the Mistress of Evil, and you wanna die looking so weak?"

Despite everything, Mal and Carlos somehow still cared for Maleficent because for all the evil she had done they were better then her, they cared

Maleficent opened her eyes, and breathed deeply: "What are you two doing?"

Mal and Carlos sighed in relief

Mal: "Mother you scared us"

Maleficent: "It is my purpose" she smiled wearily

FG was surprised to see the smile of the fairy, it was one of her oldest smiles, one that came from the days where she wasn't a monster: "Maleficent how do you feel?"

Maleficent looked at FG: "Well Annabel you did stole my magic, i felt better. But I'm not dead"

Carlos had gotten up and was looking the Isle, he didn't want to look at his mother

Mal: "Now that you had your fun, let's get you something to eat and then you can go back home" Mal's voice was back to normal, like nothing had happened

Adam: "You want to bring her inside my Castle?"

Mal, Carlos, FG and Jane looked at Adam

FG raised an eyebrow at the King: "She doesn't have her magic anymore, she could use force, like every other human, if she had any. She will eat something and then you can send her back to the Isle"

Adam: "I'm not sure it's a good idea"

Mal was getting pissed and she started to look a lot like Maleficent when she still had her powers: "You will feed my mother and you will do it quietly or do I need to remind you why we are here in the first place, if you had done your work Eddie would be alive"

Adam was taken aback: "What about the vow?"

Mal: "We promised you that we would try to forgive you and that we would not hurt you if you didn't hurt us"

Carlos looked menacing: "Also, we were raised by Maleficent and our father is Hades... we are villains, aren't we?"

Belle understood the situation, the kids were tired, they had almost killed their mother and Adam was acting out: "Bring your mother inside, in the living room. Ben will talk to Lumiere to arrange dinner. Go on kids"

The teens got inside the Castle after giving the King dirty looks

Ben stopped: "I thought for a moment that you would be understanding...but no matter how hard I try..."

Belle: "Ben go and talk to Lumiere, I'll scold your father" she was disappointed too

Ben left

Belle: "They are just kids"

Adam: "Sure, kids that are more powerful then any villain on the Isle"

Belle: "They aren't villains"

Adam: "How do you know that?"

Belle lost her control: "They risked their life for us! It's enough Adam! Those children got tortured, assaulted, killed because of us and you make them sound like they are some dark creatures... The only dark creature here is you"

Adam gasped and took a step back: "What?"

Belle was crying: "Look at the facts. Those kids almost killed their mother to protect their father and us, and you went there and the only thing that worried you was Maleficent being inside the Castle? Didn't you see how stressed they were? Maleficent was almost dead... didn't you see Carlos crying over what he thought was the body of his mother? But you were too worried about magic! Magic hurt you because you deserved it... I thought you had understand it.. but I was wrong.. go for a walk and come only when you see what you did"

Belle and FG left, FG wrapped an arm around Belle who was crying

Maleficent was lying on the couch, Mal and Carlos were watching her, Evie and Jay were talking about the King

Ben came in and looked at Mal: "I'm sorry for my father" he looked at Carlos "I really am"

Carlos smiled at him, a watery smile but one nonetheless

Mal: "It isn't your fault. I exaggerated... I was a little emotional"

Ben shook his head, then looked at Maleficent: "How is she?"

Mal: "Tired, but alive. The Lake took all her magic and energy. Jane is tired too" she tilted her head towards the girl who was sleeping on the armchair near the fire

Ben: "The dinner is arranged and my mother is scolding my father"

Mal and Carlos nodded, while Jay and Evie smiled

Belle entered the room with FG, she looked at the teens and an hiccup escaped her lips

FG: "Hey, it's okay. They don't hate you. You were right scolding Adam, he is stubborn. Maleficent is harmless now. It's over, now let's get something to eat, okay?"

Belle nodded and approached Mal and Carlos who had heard them: "I'm so sorry for my husband"

Carlos: "It's weird how you referred to him as a father and a husband when he is also a King... nobody seemed to apologise for his acting as a King..." he was angry with the King

Mal rolled her eyes at her brother: "You have nothing to apologise for Belle"

Belle smiled brightly, relieved: "Thank you, Mal. And you are kind of right, Carlos... I apologise for the way the King acted"

Carlos nodded

They waited for the dinner to be ready, then they went to the dining room and found Adam there

The vks looked at him, disappoint all over their faces, Ben was about to say something when Adam raised his hand to stop him

Adam: "I want to apologise for the way I acted. I realize now that I was wrong. I'm sorry"

The vks wouldn't say anything, they were looking at each other speaking silently

Belle looked at her husband and smiled a little to let him know that she forgave him, Ben and FG nodded

Jay: "I'm sorry too because we can't accept your apology right now. You disrespected us, again. We get the fear of Maleficent, some of us better then anyone but the way you talked to us.." he shook his head "Also, we would like to bring Maleficent back on the Isle"

The Royal Family and FG were silent

Jane: "I want to go there too"

FG looked at her daughter: "Why?"

Jane: "Mal and Carlos will bring Maleficent to the Evil Part, I would stay with Jay and Evie in the Reformed Part" she sighed "I want to see the consequences of your actions" she was looking at the adults "this way, everyone will know what you did"

FG scolded: "Child, show some respect"

Jane shooked her head: "I'm not talking about the King, I'm talking about all of you, all of those who decided that leaving children alone on an Isle full of villains was a good choice"

Adam looked at Jane for a second, he turned to the vks: "Well, i can understand why you don't accept my apology and I can arrange the.. let's call it 'visit' to the Isle. I will be coming too"

Carlos and Mal laughed, Maleficent joined them. Everyone except the trio was taken aback by that

Maleficent: "Do you have a death wish?"

Adam was confused

Mal: "Everyone hates you there. You wouldn't survived the first five minutes"

Adam: "But the Reformed Part.."

Evie: "They are good people, not saints"

Jay: "I know a couple of people that would welcome you" the King smiled a little "to make you suffer" this cancelled the smile on the King's face

Ben: "Maybe I could go"

Mal: "NO!"

Ben looked at Mal surprised: "Why?"

Mal: "Are you insane? You are his child" she pointed at Adam "they will hurt you even more. Have you ever heard of revenge?"

Carlos tried to calm his sister Vio

Mal turned to look at him and shook his head: "He isn't coming"

Carlos, Jay and Evie didn't seem against the idea of Ben going to the Isle, he saw it

Ben: "What do you think guys?"

The three vks looked at him

Evie: "They definitely hate you"

Jay: "Gaston for example..." he glanced quickly at Belle

Carlos: "And villains love a good revenge"

Evie: "On the other side you showed them that you care"

Jay: "The Reformed Part was very happy to see that you wanted to give us a chance"

Carlos: "I heard Ursula and Uma talking about you using your real name"

But Mal wasn't having any of it: "He. Isn't. Coming. It's too dangerous."

Maleficent added: "The Evil Part dreams about having the little Beast on the Isle since his birth. And you know it is not for good reasons"

Belle: "I think Mal is right. Ben you will stay here"

Ben: "I can protect myself"

Mal: "You know nothing about self defense against villains. They don't follow the rules. What do you know about a fight, Ben? Have you ever use a knife? Have you ever punch someone?"

Ben went silent

Mal: "Exactly"

Ben: "What about Jane?"

Evie answered him: "Nobody will hurt her. She would stay at our house. Jay and I will protect her. Plus, nobody in the Reformed Part actually hates FG"

Mal: "Then it's settled. Carlos and I will bring Maleficent to the Evil Part. Jay, Evie and Jane will stay in the Reformed Part. Then we will be coming back"

Heyyyyy
