Chapter fourteen

" That was weird." Maleficent thought.

" There's something fishy going on with Malice..." added Maleficent.

" I gotta keep an eye on her." Maleficent decided.

(the next morning....)

Maleficent woke up early, as she prepared for the big day, she thought more about her second daughter.

" I don't get it.. Why did she just lashed out on me?" Maleficent asked herself.

" It's not like her at all." added Maleficent.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

" What is it?!" Maleficent asked in annoyance.

" Mom, it's me! What's for breakfast?" Mal asked.

" Why don't you go check the fridge, dear?" Maleficent asked.

" Okay.." Mal answered.

Once Mal left, Maleficent continued to think about Malice. Though, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

" Urgh! I don't get what on earth is going on with Malice!!!" Maleficent screamed.

While Maleficent continued being frustrated, little did she know Malice was evesdropping.

Malice's POV

" If only I knew the answer, I would tell you mother."

Then Malice left. In only about a few minutes, all of a sudden, a sound of broken glass can be heard.

" Urgh! This is hopeless!" Maleficent muttered out loud.

As Maleficent stared down at the broken glass vase, she notices a book under it.

" What's this?" Maleficent asked herself as she picked the book up.

When Maleficent inspects the book, it talks about psychology. 

" What nonsense." Maleficent muttered.

But, once Maleficent came upon a section of mental health, that caught her attention.

" Mental illness is a chemical in the brain causing depression. It may sometimes lead a person to wish they never existed and it can cause sudden anger." Maleficent read.

" Sudden anger?" Maleficent asked.

As Maleficent continued to read, she thought about Malice.

" Could Malice have problems in her head?" Maleficent asked.

" No, that can't be true. She may just need personal space." added Maleficent.

" But, it wouldn't hurt to find out." Maleficent said out loud.

And so Maleficent left her room to see Malice. But, once she got there, the door was locked.

" Malice,dear! Open the door, Mother needs to talk to you." Maleficent exclaimed.

(no answer)

" Malice? Are you in there?" Maleficent asked while knocking on the door.

(no answer)

" Malice!" Maleficent finally yelled in annoyance.

( still no answer)

" Just go away!" Malice finally replied.

" What? Go away? Why should I?" Maleficent asked.

" I don't want to harm anyone anymore....." Malice said.

" Dear, that was nothing. Don't worry about me, I do similar things like that before." Maleficent calmly said.

" Just leave me alone...." Malice replied.

" Go away? Why?" Maleficent asked.

" I just want to be alone." Malice answered.

" Alone?" Maleficent asked.

Malice gritted her teeth when her mother kept asking questions and won't leave her alone.

( hmmmmm.........)

" Do you wanna build a snowman?" sang Maleficent.

That hit Malice real hard, her mother just started being awkward.

" Come on let's go and play." continued Maleficent.

" Oh Gosh, make it stop!!!!" Malice yelled while covering her ears with a pillow.

" I never see you anymore, come out the door, it's like your gone away." sang Maleficent.

Maleficent turns around only to see Mal have a phone on her hand.

" Why do you have a phone on your hand?" Maleficent asked.

" What? It's hilarious. You singing Queen Elsa's sister's song makes you funny." Mal said.

" You're not helping. I'm trying to get your sister out and you're just trying to make a fool of myself." Maleficent said with a warning.

" You are a fool." Mal said followed by a laugh.

Maleficent rolls her eyes then turns back to Malice's door.

" Don't even think about it! Mom, I'm not Queen Elsa and you're not whoever her sister is." Malice screamed.

" Okay, dear. But, can you come out of your room?" Maleficent asked.

" No." Malice replied.

" Why?" Maleficent asked.

" JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!" screamed Malice.

Maleficent was stunned while Mal was blown away.

" Whoa......" Mal said.

" I guess she inherited your personality." added Mal while heading downstairs.

Maleficent just glares at Mal then looks back at Malice's door.

(sigh........)

" This is harder than I thought... She's unpredictable." Maleficent thought.

" Maybe she does somewhat have problems..." added Maleficent.

( Back in Auradon....)

" Mal, Jay, Evie, and Carlos are gone?! How's this possible?" Ben asked frantically.

" And the guards were asleep, don't forget that son." King Adam replied.

" Right. But, the important things are my girlfriend and her friends. They're all missing." Ben said.

" I'm starting to think that mysterious criminal is behind this..." Ben concluded.

Just as Ben mentioned the mysterious enemy, King Adam began to wonder what the criminal looks like.

" Speaking of the criminal, what does he or she look like?" King Adam asked.

" A girl who looks similar to Mal in appearance but with red hair." Ben replied.

" Wow, some sort of doppelganger huh?" King Adam asked.

" Yeah..." Ben nodded.

" If you really want to find out where Mal and the others are, why don't we visit the Isle?" King Adam asked.

" The Isle?" Ben asked.

" Yeah. We may find answers from the villains there." King Adam replied.
