Mal's POV
I had just gotten a call from an angry sounding Ben to come to the Council Room. Why wasn't I notified of this meeting earlier?
When I got there I opened the door and saw Ben standing fuming. "Ben what's up?? Calm down." I tell him. I walk up to him and touch his shoulder. I kiss him on the cheek. It calms him down a bit.
I look around trying to see what this was about. Audrey and Chad were there. I remembered they became King and Queen of the Kingdom of their heritage. The Charmings, Audrey, and Queen Leah look delighted. Everyone else is glaring at them. Former-Queen Aurora is specifally glaring at her mother, though.
"Um. Hello?? You guys called for me??" I awkwardly ask.
Former-Queen Leah smirked. "Yes. Can someone grab her?? We can't trust her yet." I was offended by that. I see Ben roll his eyes, but grab me anyways.
"Sorry Mal." He whispers in my ear.
I frown. "For what??"
"You'll see."
King Charming continues. "Mal. Since you did choose good, and we-" Most of the Council glared at him making him change his mind. "My family and Aurora's."
Queen Aurora fake coughed.
Cinderella glared at her. "Our family, Queen Leah, and Audrey think that ruling the Isle will be a... bad influence. So we want you to either step down or go back to the Isle."
I was angry, but kept it in. "Ben let go of me. I'm fine."
He reluncantly did. I now understand why Ben was so mad. I really did want to curse them or something, but I quickly regained my composure.
"Could you give me at least a month to make a decision?"
The Council looked baffled. "Mal, you don't have to do this. The rest of the Council disagrees with their decision." Ben told me. I shake my head.
"It's okay, Ben." But in reality I was scheming how to avoid either situation.
"No really. We won't let them to it." Queen Aurora sadly smiled.
"Enough of this!! Why do you people side with her.King Charming said like it was poison.
Ben grimaced. "Mal."
"Anyways, I suppose we can give you one month to decide. Until then you might want to start packing to return to the Isle."
I sigh and dismiss myself. "If that's it I'll be leaving."
I leave the Council room before they could answer. I didn't care if there was anything else. I just needed to return to my dorm and start thinking up a plan.
I decide to go visit my mother in her prison. I enter the building of the prison. I pass Uma who hisses when I pass.
"Hello Mother."
"I am not your mother anymore." Her words stung.
"I need your help... Maleficent."
"Why should I help you. You didn't help me when I needed it."
I roll my eyes sighing. This was officially the 'greatest' day of my life. "Fine. Bye." I leave.
I go to seek Evie's help. Then decide against it I couldn't bring her mood down. She had a date with Dough and was really excited about it. I was laying on my bed now and decide to take a walk.
"Taking one last walk before you go back to the Isle, Mal!?!" Audrey taunts. I ignore her. I sit by a shady tree pulling out my sketchbook. I flip through all of them. Some of them are from the Isle, but most of them were from Auradon. The face of Ben soaks up. I realize it was soaked by a tear. I close the sketchbook and wipe the tears that welled up my eyes.
"What's wrong, Mal?" I look up to see Lonnie.
"I-It's No-Nothing."
"Well it's not nothing if it's making Mal cry and stutter now is it??" Jay asks joining us. "C'mon Mal. You can trust us."
"If I tell you, then do you promise not to hurt anyone, Jay??"
He reluncantly nods.
"I hear Mal is upset about something??"
It was Carlos. I nod.
"Well the Council is making me either step down as Queen or go back to the Isle."
"Wait your a Queen??" Lonnie asks. I nod.
Jay answered for me. "She's the Queen of the Isle, didn't she tell you??"
"Nope."
"Well what are you going to do, Mal??"
"I don't know. I don't want to leave Auradon. And I don't want to step down either. Being the Queen of the Isle is a big part of me."
"We're not going to let you do that." Carlos declared.
"How?!"
"I think I've got an idea." We all turn to look where the voice comes from.
Evie?!! When'd you get here??"
"A bit after Carlos."
"Well what is it??"
"Well first I need to ask the Council a question."
