Evie started reading the next chapter.

"mal you are one of the keys but you didn't tell me" Ben asked hurt flashing his eyes.

"I already told you the reason" mal said while Ben kissed her cheek.

"I didn't told you, because we all were sworn to secrecy, by blue fairy, if this secret was revealed, it could had bring harm upon you all" she explained while the others nodded and ben gave her a small peck on her lips.

"We understand" jay said while the others nodded

"So,now, we know that my mother is here, so there is only one thing we have to do, is to defeat her" mal said while the others nodded.

"Yeah, comes comes the real part, where we start planning" Harry said and cracked his knuckles dramatically

All the others followed mal to the hideout, but before entering mal winked at a tree gaurd, to tell him, that their plan will begin soon.
Half of the day passed, by discussing about strategies, and around the late afternoon, mal suddenly started feeling, drizzy.
She took it as the sign of her mother entering the border of moors.

"It's beginning" uma said while the kids looked a little scared at the idea of fighting.

Meanwhile with maleficent,
Upon entering her castle, she ordered all the moorian creatures to meet her. Upon the meeting, she ordered them to bring her daughter to her. The tree gaurd being one of the attendants, quickly made his way with another towards the hideout. Now, it was their plan to fake capture Mal, and bring her to maleficent, so she could fake her death to her.

"I hate the plan" Audrey said while Ben agreed with her

At the start of the evening, the tree gaurds suddenly barged into the hideout in search of mal.

Mal,upon seeing the tree gaurds knew that this was the start of their plan.
She took a sword and started to fake fight with them, with jay and ben following, while one of the tree gaurds holded the others, the one who was fighting mal, took her hold by her hand, and dragged her out. Mal, could hear Ben screaming for her, but she didn't gave him attention.

"I hate you" Ben muttered playfully to mal while she mock pouted.

Meanwhile with others.
"Mal!" Ben screamed, but to no avail as the gate was closed from outside. He started to cry for his wife, because he could do anything. He held his crying children to him.
"Blue fairy, please let us see mal" hades requested and she nodded.

"Good Idea" Ben said while "bad idea" mal said at the same time.
She knew her mother was gonna torture her, but she didn't wanted them to witness it.

Meanwhile back with mal, she was presented infront of maleficent who gave her a sinister smile, and an evil laugh.
"Hello Mother" mal said.
"Now mal, you'll tell me where the others are, or you'll face my special punishment."her mother told her.

"Ill kill her" hades saud while Persephone nodded. She sta
"Sorry, dear old mother, but No. You can kill me if you want, but no" Mal's voice boomed.

"Mal, do you have a death wish or something?" Hadie muttered.

After a moment of silence, maleficent laughed.
"Well them, that can be arranged. Diaval, put her in the iron cage, till she gives you answer, while you two gaurds will gaurd her. And my dear, diaval, you can come with me here, we can watch it together" she said and laughed.

The hall was silence.
"The iron cage?" Mal said looking horrified. So many flashbacks came to her mind. Her 5th birthday, trapped under the iron cage. The burns. Her 10th birthday. 13th and so on.

And then the dam burst, as the hall roared
"I'm gonna fucking kill this woman" Ben growled menacingly while hades nodded furiously in agreement.
It took them about half an hour to calm down.

Mal's eyes widened because this was going to be a long evenings for her.

Evie stopped reading, and stood up to give mal a huge hug.

Evie passed the book to belle again, who started Reading.
