So I have decided to write this idea while I work out what I am doing with one of my other stories and since another story only has about four chapters left. I have had this idea for a while but only recently decided to write it. TRIGGER WARNING! This chapter will briefly hint at rape (Nothing in any detail or graphic)! I hope you guys enjoy it x
Far away from Auradon city, in the small village of Andalasia a young, purple haired woman sat in her back yard. Mal had recently turned 22. In fact four years ago today was the day she decided to leave Auradon for good. She was currently lounging on a deck chair and she couldn't help but let her mind wander to this very day four years ago, when her life changed forever.
Mal had woken up early from yet another nightmare. It was bad enough she'd had to live through what had happened but now the flashbacks and nightmares had started everytime she saw him, which considering she went to the same school was everyday. Each morning she had woken from her nightmare around 5am and couldn't get the feel of him off of her. Mal was sure that everytime she took a step forward in her relationship with Ben something was waiting to knock her five steps back. For example six weeks ago on her birthday, Mal and Ben had decided to take their relationship to the next step and be intimate but a few days later he had snuck into her room while Evie was out and assaulted her. Now she could hardly stand to let Ben near her in that way.
The purple haired teen didn't know who she could trust anymore. She had thought Auradon was supposed to be safe and full of heroes, clearly that wasn't the case. As Mal woke fully that morning she found herself jumping out of bed and running to the en-suite bathroom, barely getting to the toilet before she threw up the contents of her stomach. She silently thanked her lucky stars that Evie had stayed with the boys last night, she didn't want her sister to know she was ill.
After god knows how long throwing up Mal finally stopped. Slowly she raised from the floor and after quickly rinsing her mouth out she crawled back into bed. The purple haired teen turned so she was facing the wall her bed was next to but her eyes ell on her calendar she immediately noticed she was late. She knew none of the stores were open to by a test and she couldn't go to the school nurse. If she went there Fairy Godmother would know and she would tell Ben and of she was she didn't know who the father was. It could be Ben or it could be the other guy, she couldn't even bare to think o his name.
She quickly rolled out of bed and gathered Evie's magic mirror from the blunette's bedisde cabinet. Thankfully after they had chosen good at Ben's coronation the mirror had been charmed to work for any of the four VK's. It came in handy for times like this. Holding it in front of her Mal said, "Mirror, mirror, if you will, show me why I feel so ill." It wasn't the best spell or rhyme in the world but she was stressed, worried and felt sick once more.
She couldn't cantain her gasp as the mirror showed her a positive pregnancy test with '5-6 weeks pregnant' written underneath. She couldn't believe this. She knew now she had two options keep the baby or get rid of it. It didn't take her long for her to made a decision, a few minutes in fact. She couldn't tell Ben what had happened a few days after her birthday but she couldn't tell Ben he was the father when she knew he might not be either. She had to go to the hospital and get rid of the baby, it was really her only option.
Not long after the mirror told her she was pregnant, Mal was dressed in a pair of her black jeans and one of Evie's dark blue tops. It was one she hadn't worn for months and she wouldn't miss. The teen would have worn one of her own but she was the only person in Auradon who wore that particular shade of purple where as Evie's blue was almost identical to the blue Ben and Adam usually wore and would blend in better. She waved her hand over her face, silently casting a glamour on herself.
Checking herself in the mirror she saw her hair had lengthened and was now blonde, her skin had a slight tan to it and her lips had a natural red tint. In fact the only thing that hadn't changed was the color of her eyes, they were still a bright green. Mal just hoped the disguise would fool the people at the hospital. Notwanted to risk anyone seein gher leave in her disguise she transported herself to the alley next to the hopsital.
Walking as calmly and casually as she could she entered the hospital and walked up to the reception. "Hi, how can I help you?" The brunette receptionist asked the nervous teen.
Taking a deep breath she orced her voice to remain calm. "I would like to confirm my pregnancy and have an abortion should the need arise." She stated and the receptionist gave her a shocked look, clearly not used to having a teen come in with such a request.
"Of course." The brunette stated. After a quick minute typing on the computer in front of her she lifted her head to look at Mal, smiling gently at her. "We have a doctor free in room five. Just go through that door over there and it will be on your right." She said pointing to the door behind the teen.
Following the insturctions Mal headed throught the door and soon found herself in a small white room. After a couple of minutes Mal's attention was drawn to the door as a red head in a white coat entered the room, pulling a strange looking machine behind her. "Good morning. My name is Dr Harrison." She introduced herself, walking towards Mal and holding her hand out.
Cautiously Mal took the offered hand. "Hi, I'm Kelly." She said, having thought of a different name on her way in here so she was ready for the question.
The doctor nodded to the 'blonde'. "So I undertsand you're here to comfirn and if necessary terminate your pregnancy?" The red headed woman asked and Mal nodded to her in response. "Okay. Well I will have to perform an ultrasound to see how far along you are first. Then we can talk about the saest way to go forward I you still wish to terminate the pregnancy." Once more Mal nodded before laying down on the bed. "If you could lift your shirt for me. This gel will also be quite cold."
Nodding Mal followed the instrustions, lifting her shirt but even though she was prepared for the gel she still flinched as it was squeezed onto her stomach. Mal vaguely heard the doctor apologise for how cold the gel was but she wasn't really paying attention. She just wanted the yes or no answer she was waiting for and then this nightmare would be over one way or another. She felt the 'wand' being pressed into her stomach and a few switches being flicked on the machine.
"Okay you look to be around 5 to 6 weeks." Dr Harrison told her. But a loud thumping sound filled the room drawing Mal's attention.
Mal looked towards the red head with a confused expression on her face. "What is that noise?"
Smiling the woman turned back to her. "That is the baby's heartbeat. It sound perfectly normal for it's age. I see no reason why we can not continue and terminate this pregnancy if that is still what you want to do?" She asked, noticing the tears in Mal's eyes. The teen instantly shook her head, she knew the minute she heard the heartbeat she couldn't do through with this. She couldn't abort her baby. Without another word she cleaned her stomach and ran from the hospital, transporting herself back to her shared dorm room before finally lifting her glamour charm.
Looking around she knew the best thing or her and the baby was to pack her things and leave, so thats what she did.
Mal was brought from her memories by a loud "Mommy!" Shaking her head to rid herself from her thoughts and quickly wiping her eyes, she turned to face the one person who meant the world to her and she would do anything for. Her daughter.
Author's Note: So I know this is basically a memory chapter but it is necessary to the story. I hope you guys like this chapter. Please review and let me know what you think x
