Mal
I can't believe my eyes. It was the last person I expected to see.
"Hello sister." Rumple said.
"What in Auradon is going on Rumple!?" I asked. "I thought you were dead."
"Looks like you thought wrong."
"Why are you hurting Percy and Annabeth?"
"Because being evil is so much fun. To be honest, I'm actually surprised that you chose to be good. Speaking as though you're name is the same as mother's and you're my twin. Turn back evil."
"Don't do it Mal. This could just as easily be an illusion." Carlos said behind me.
"You know, everyone on the Isle thinks that you were killed by a goblin. They killed Shmebulack." I said, changing topic.
That took Rumple off guard.
"They killed Shmebulack?" Rumple asked.
"Yeah. He pleaded guilty in a jury by Mom. Are you working for her?"
"I was forced to Mally. She said that I could fix you."
"Rumple, I don't need fixing. If you fell in love, then you would understand."
"Sara Winifred."
"Snow White's daughter?"
"I have a crush on her. I've been living in Auradon for a couple of years, but I've never told her how I feel about her."
"Rumple, please join our side. We want to fight against mother. If you don't do it for us, do it for Shmebulack."
"Sorry, I can't. When we meet again on the battlefield, I won't be as kind." And with that Rumple left.
"You can't ignore the light anymore than I can. It'll call to you eventually." I called to him.
"But I can try." And then he left.
After a while, Percy said "Who was that?"
"Rumpelstiltskin, my twin brother."
"Seriously?" Carlos asked.
"My mom was going through a faze. She named us after famous villains."
"Okay then. Hey, it's 5:02, Mal, try to use your new power." Carlos said.
"I'll try." I called up my energy and felt the ground come up from under me. I looked and saw that I was giving off a small pink glow. I looked down to see that I was 20 feet above the ground. I also saw that I was wearing a green skirt with a pink tank top and ballet slippers that made me think of a butterfly when I saw it. I looked up and saw Carlos looking at me. Since when was his head so big?
"Remarkable!" He boomed.
"Hey, quite down! You don't have to talk so loudly!" I screamed.
"Sorry, I've never had a tiny friend."
"Wait, what?" I looked down again and saw huge feet.
"I'm tiny!"
"Not tiny, you're a fairy!" Percy screamed.
"Ah!" I screamed.
"Try getting bigger!" Annabeth said.
I thought about getting bigger and felt myself get bigger. When I fell down, Carlos caught me.
"Walk around a little bit. I texted the others to look for a pink light. Since you don't know how to make the glow or your wings disappear yet, this can work to our advantage." Carlos said.
I trudged off into the woods and started walking.
"What's that pink light?" Someone asked. They came into my glow and I saw Leo, Calypso, Piper, Frank, Jason, and Hazel.
"Mal, is that you?" Piper asked.
"Yeah. New power did this." I said, motioning to my wings and my body.
"Oh. Um, not sure how to handle this. We just heard screams and started running. Then they stopped and we slowed down. Then we saw your glow and kinda freaked." Jason said.
"To be honest, I'm not sure how to handle it either. I'll take you back to the site and look around for my friends."
"And the DHIs. They're helping in the search for the fair Princess Mal." Frank said, bowing down to me.
"Okay. Come on." I said, walking away. The demigods followed my glow, asking me questions.
"So this is your new power?" Hazel asked.
"Yeah."
"Who was being attacked?" Calypso asked.
"Percy and Annabeth."
"Who was attacking them?" Leo added.
"Rumpelstiltskin, my twin brother."
"Rumpelstiltskin, really?" Calypso asked.
"My mother was going through a fase, okay?"
"Okay. We there yet?"
"Yeah. Annabeth, I found your friends. I'm going to find everyone else." I said, walking away.
"Okay." Annabeth called.
I walked for what seemed like forever until I thought, Duh! I can use my teleportation power. I thought of Ben and saw him looking for both me and Carlos.
I teleported to Ben.
"Wow Mal. Didn't expect the pink. It looks good on you. I'm just glad that you're okay. Not a scratch, right?"
"No Ben, I don't have a scratch. Who all is looking for me?"
"Nick, Nekoda, Caleb, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Audrey, Jane, Chad, Doug, FG, Lonnie, Finn, Charlene, Amanda, Jess, Willa, Maybeck, Philby, Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Frank, Hazel, Leo, Calypso, some kid named Nico, and some girl named Reyna."
"Carlos found me, and sent me to find everyone else because of my glow. So far, I've found Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Calypso, Piper, Jason, Hazel, and Frank."
"Let's find our friends." Ben said.
I made my eyes go neon green. I realized I was seeing things from a person I didn't know's point of view.
"Nico, let's hurry. You to Gleason. Those werewolves might catch up to us." The girl said, which must be Reyna.
"We're coming!" The boy, Nico, said.
I teleported us while Ben was holding my hand.
"Ow! Teleporting hurts!" Ben said. The three people looked at us.
"Are you Mal?" Reyna asked.
"Yeah. Come on. Everyone hold hands." I instructed.
"Why? I would rather fight the wolves." Gleason, or at least who I assumed was Gleason said.
"If you want to live, you stupid satyr, then hold either Nico or Reyna's hand and hold on. This is going to hurt and may get bumpy." I said, which made Gleason back up a bit.
Nico took my hand, then he took Gleason's, who took Reyna's. Just as a wolf was about to attack, I teleported us to safety.
"You weren't wrong. That did hurt." Gleason said once we arrived at our destination.
"Annabeth, four more on your way. Going to go find the others." I yelled.
"Roger that little sis!" Percy yelled back.
Before Ben could complain, I got a read on Nick, which wasn't hard because he was a pretty easy target, then teleported.
Nick was sitting in a tree, watching the wooded area. I tapped on him and he screamed "Jesus Mal! Don't sneak up on me like that! God, you scared me!"
"Did you, Caleb, and Kody split up?"
"Yeah." Nick watched as my eyes went neon green again as I got a read on Kody. I grabbed Nick's arm and teleported us to Kody.
"KODY!" I yelled. She immediately turned around and saw me. She ran up as I got a read on Caleb. I grabbed her arm and we teleported to Caleb.
"CALEB!" I yelled. He ran up to us, me grabbing his leg with my foot, and teleported us to the camp.
"Anna, Percy, three more on the way!" I yelled as Nick, Kody, and Caleb started complaining.
"Okay!" They both yelled, but Annabeth added "And don't call me Anna!" I got a read on Finn, then teleported.
"Finn, call the Keepers to attention and get them to hold hands. I'll take care of the rest." I said.
"Keepers, hold hands. Why, I have no idea, just do it." Finn said as the Keepers held hands. Finn grabbed Amanda's as I grabbed shoulder. I teleported us to the camp.
"Annabeth, Percy, seven more coming your way!" I yelled.
"Alrighty!" Percy said.
Once I got a read on Evie, I saw something that scared me. I saw Evie and Doug making out behind a tree while Jay, Audrey, Chad, Lonnie, Jane, and FG were looking for them.
I teleported to where FG was standing.
"Mal, is that you?" Audrey asked.
"Audrey, how many people do you know that will wear pink and green together?" I asked.
"Yeah. It's her." Jay said as I walked to Evie and Doug's make out tree.
"Evie, Doug, I know you two are behind there. Come out now with your hands up and no one gets torched."
Evie and Doug walked out, almost making FG attack them, but Chad managed to hold her back with a little help from Jane.
"We will deal with this later you two." FG said. "How did you know they were behind there any Mal?"
"I saw things when I looked inside of Evie's mind. Horrible, horrible things." I said, looking at Evie. "You owe me big time. Same goes for you Doug."
I looked at everyone else. "Okay everyone, let's hold hands and teleport. Sorry if this hurts." I said as everyone grabbed hands and FG grabbed mine. I teleported us to the camp. Everyone besides Evie, Audrey, and Jane doubled over, groaning with pain.
"Annabeth, Percy, seven kids and one adult, coming your way!" I yelled.
"Okay!" They both yelled.
"Hey Mal, can we talk?" Carlos asked.
"Sure. What's up?"
"You remember that Rumple said that he was being forced to help your mother?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Well I have a theory about why."
"Shoot."
"So I remember him saying that he has a crush on Doug's cousin, Sara Winifred. So I did some research, and found out that she went missing the same day Ben went missing. So I think that you mother kidnapped Sara so that she can black mail Rumple into doing her dirty work. If that's true, then we just have to figure out where she's hiding Sara."
"Carlos, have I ever told you that you're a genius?" I said.
"No, but you just did."
"Now all we have to do is figure out how to find out where Maleficent is hiding. You look for unauthorized areas, and I'll ask the Keepers." I said, walking away.
Carlos caught my wrist. "If you don't want to glow, try thinking about not having your wings."
"Okay." I thought about when I didn't have wings and my glow vanished.
"Thanks. Meet up in about two hours. Meet right here." I said.
"Okay." Carlos said, getting out his phone.
Then I remembered that, oh yeah, I can just go to the belly of the beast and see where my mother is hiding Sara Winifred. I thought about mother and saw where she was hiding. The Haunted Mansion. I can't believe I'm doing this. I silently thought as I turned into a fairy, shrunk, and started flying towards the Haunted Mansion.
