Carlos hurriedly read the next chapter as everyone was terrified at this point, especially Ben who was holding Mal for dear life.

She only saw Ben's face of horror, when suddenly someone grabbed her from behind. Mal, turned around to saw her mother, who was still stabbed was dragging her towards the very edge. She could see her mother, has a wicked smile on her face.

"I'm gonna kill that witch, how dare she does this to my daughter" Persephone said with a growl while hades wholeheartedly agreed, his hair was on fire while his face was pale, which showacased that he was extremely livid with Maleficent and really scared for his daughter.

She, stopped at the edge and turned to face mal.
"Pumpkin, as I said it ends with you or me, so you're the one whose gonna die" she said and cackled evilly.

Ben was literally growling, he just wanted to rip that witch into shreds for hurting his wife, but the fear that he felt clouded his mind, and instead of feeling murderous he felt extremely scared.

Mal took a last glance at her family who were screaming for her. A last glance at her husband. Her soulmate. Then she made up her mind.
"Sorry, mother. But Let's end this... Together" she yelled, and while maleficent pushed her off, she grabbed her mother's hand, and both of them started to fall from the edge to the ground below. They started to fall to their death. Mal, could hear, Ben screaming loudly, but she didn't cared. She was about to sacrifice herself for Auradon. The last thing mal, noticed before her vision went black, was her mother lying next to her, and both of them were surrounded by a pool of blood. She thought. This was the end of her reign.

There was pin drop silence in the group as everyone finally caught upto what really happened. The silence was broken by Ben's anguish filled screams who broke down while holding his wife. Everyone was crying as they realised what happened.
It took them a long time, before Carlos could again start reading. He started to read in a broken voice.

The moment Ben saw his beautiful wife, standing on the edge, and his mother in law was about to push her, from the edge. He started running faster alongside screaming. He, saw that mal took a glance at him and mouthed I love you. It was not a romantic gesture. It was more like her last words. As he realised this, his heart started beating faster. He, saw mal pushed both herself and her mother, from the edge to the ground below. He screamed the loudest. "MAL!!" Followed by hades's scream for his daughter.

No one said anything as everyone was horrified by the sudden turn of events.

As, he arrived at the edge, he looked below, only to see, his beautiful wife and her mother who can be called as monster, both  lying on the ground in a pool of blood. Ben was never this terrified before. He screamed, and told/ordered fairy godmother to teleport them to his wife. Upon reaching near mal, he started running towards her, and cradled her in his warm hands. Her hands were cold, she was covered in blood, and cuts and wounds. His mother in law was dead, but he didn't cared about her. No body did. She was evil. And she was the one who was destroyed for her evil deeds. But mal didn't deserved it.

"I'll make sure this will never happen, I can't see my family this broken" thought mal

He placed his large hand on her soft face, and started shaking her
"Mal, honey?! Ma--lly, ho-nne-y. Pls-s wake up, honey. Mal! Mal!?" He shouted but he got no response from her.
He started crying right then and there. Followed by the sobs of the others.
"Benjamin let me see" blue fairy told him and used her wand to see if she was alive or not.
"She is a very strong girl. She is alive, but barely. We have to take her back to Auradon. There we can find ways to save her" she explained while hades and ben sighed of relief.
"So, what will we do with her?" Jay said while pointing towards maleficent.
"I can use my magic, and have a tree grow from where she lay dead." FG explained.
"Do it. She don't deserve any respect, but she still is Mal's mother. So we can do this for her" Ben said while Evie and others nodded.

"Honestly future us what are you even doing?" Mal said while the others agreed.

Using magic, FG made a black bat orchid tree grow from the place, maleficent was laying. This was only for a memorial. To remind them, of a evil fairy, who tried to kill her own daughter.

Ben, stand up with mal in his hands, and now it's time for them to heard to Auradon, to save his true love.

Ben hugged mal and buried his face in her shoulder, to worried about the future events.
"Everything will be okay, Benny" Mal whispered while her husband sniffled.

But there was one question that was circling in the cour fours head, as they worried to death for their sister. "will she make it?"

"That's the end of the chapter" Carlos said in the silence. He passed the book to Belle who wanted to read again.
