Chapter 20

*Not Edited*

Mal

One month went by and Ben's coronation came to soon. I was sitting in my seat next to Isabelle waiting for Ben to walk towards the podium where he was going to be crowned. The great hall in Ben's castle was decorated with dark blue and bright yellow banners. A stage was set up at the front of the hall with three chairs two for Ben's parents and one for the Fairy Godmother who was going to officially crown Ben. A blue carpet leading from the doors to the stage was placed in between the temporary pews where all the guests were sitting; my guess was that Ben was going to walk down the carpet to the stage.

"Where is Ben?" Isabelle asked turning around in her seat. Her yellow dress shifted around in the pew.

"When everyone is seated Izzy now sit down!" Marc said pulling Isabelle back into her seat.

"Get off of me." Isabelle said pushing Marc. The two start to bicker as they wrestle in the pew. I looked up at the stage where Queen Belle and King Beast were sitting. Belle shot a glare at her children. Marc and Isabelle fell into line, suddenly trumpets blared and the doors to the great hall opened. Everyone turned around and peering through the doors I could see Ben in his coronation outfit. His blue suit and yellow tie matched the entire room. Ben slowly walked towards the stage in time with the trumpets. Everyone stood up and watched Ben as he kept his head straight looking right at his father. Ben only turned his head once and it was when he approached me we both locked eyes and I gave him a small smile with a thumbs up sign. I saw Ben crack a small smile before walking up the stairs. As Ben approached the last step he stopped making his parents and the Fairy Godmother a little bit taller than him. The music stopped playing and everyone sat down.

"Do you promise and swear to rule you're kingdom with all the kindness in your heart? Do you swear to watch over all of the kingdoms in the land like they were your own? Do you promise to be the leader if or when evil rises again?" The Fairy Godmother took the crown off of King Beast's head and raises it above Ben's.

"I promise and swear on my heart." Ben responded as the Fairy Godmother lowered the crown onto his head.

"With the power of everything good I crown you King Ben." The Fairy Godmother steps back as Ben turns to greet everyone as the new king. Everyone in the room applauds as Ben makes his way down the stairs and back out of the great hall.

"Party time!" Isabelle whispers to me.

After the coronation everyone was supposed to enter the ballroom for dinner and dancing but Ben had Carlos, his family and I wait in our rooms until it was our turn to be announced to the crowd. So I was standing in my room looking at myself in the mirror. Isabelle had helped me pick out my outfit, a strapless dark purple dress with black trim. My hair was tied up into a bun with a small three pointed gold tiara placed in the center. Wow I looked like a princess,

"Ready Ms. Mal?" The castle steward asked from my door. I nodded and followed him out my door and down the hallway.

"Have the guests already entered the ballroom?" I asked,

"Everyone is in the ballroom Ms. Mal it is now time to introduce the royal family King Ben requested for you and Mr. Carlos to be introduced first." I sighed, how come I was so nervous? The castle steward stopped in front of two double doors with two guards on each side. I heard a loud voice through the door:

"Please welcome Ms. Malevolence to the ballroom." The guards opened the doors; fanfare filled my ears as I walked onto a balcony overlooking the ballroom. The ballroom was oval shaped, with a giant gold chandelier hanging over the dance floor. The entire room was gold with blue banners hanging from the balcony surrounding the ballroom. The crowd politely applauded, I scanned the crowd trying to find a familiar face. I finally found Riley and Carlos standing together at the end of the stairs. I slowly made my way down the stairs.

"Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall." I whispered repeatedly to myself. Thankfully I made it to Riley and Carlos without embarrassing myself.

"Nice entrance Mal." Carlos said, "I slid down the banister."

"Which you weren't supposed to do." Riley added laughing.

"Where's Ben?" I asked smiling. Riley pointed to the top of the stairs where I entered.

"Ben's family still needs to be announced." As soon as she said that the man who announced me started to announce Ben's family. First Isabelle, then Marc, Belle and Beast and finally Ben.

"Ladies and Gentle Men, Kings and Queens, Princesses and Princes. Please stand to welcome King Benjamin." Everyone who was singing stood up and cheered as Ben walked out onto the balcony. Ben waved to the crowd before proceeding down the stairs. The band started to play a waltz, half the crowd started moving to the sides of the room where tables and dinner was located. The other half stood in a circle around the dance floor. Ben took my hand,

"Mal, can I have this dance?"

"Ben I would love to but I can't dance." I said

"Don't worry I'll lead." Ben said smiling.

"I don't know...Ow Riley!" Riley pushed me towards Ben and we both stumbled out onto the dance floor. The crowd applauded as Ben took my hand. I threw Riley an annoyed look before letting Ben lead me across the dance floor. Soon other couples joined in, mostly the adults but some of the other kids joined in. Ben and I bumped into Claire and Tobin who were dancing all across the ballroom.

As the night continued on I was introduced to so many different people, ate the best food I've had in my life, and danced the night away with Ben. As the guests started to leave Ben pulled me into a corner.

"Everything ok?" I asked him.

"There is someone here that wants to talk to you and I know that you said didn't want to talk to her but she really wants to talk to you and I." I cut Ben off,

"Ben, you're rambling."

"Sorry, but." I held up my hand.

"Fine but only for five minutes." Ben gave me a relived smile. Ben led me to a door that was hidden in a corner. I opened the door; the room was some type of portrait hall. Pictures of Ben's past relatives covered the walls. The Blue Fairy was standing alone looking at a picture of a young King Beast or should I say Mr. Beast. I cleared my throat, the Blue Fairy turned around and smiled wide.

"You wanted to talk to me?" I asked her.

"Oh yes." The Blue Fairy said looking down. "I wanted to know if you had any questions." I paused.

"Why did you let her take me?"

The Blue Fairy looked up at me with tears in her eyes. It looked like she was waiting for that question.

"I had no choice sweetie. Maleficent is powerful in so many ways, you wouldn't understand."

"But you never even came back for me? Or tried to take me back." I said starting the tear up.

"I wanted to! Mal I wanted to. But I couldn't, the council has rules. Rules that I broke and I would be banished if the council found out. I knew that one day you would find your way back to the side of good."

"How did you know that?'

"You're the daughter of the Blue Fairy, pure good and kindness runs in your veins." The Blue Fairy said with a smile.

"Ms. Blue Fairy." I started,

"You can call me mom." She said,

"Ok mom, then how am I able to do all of this dark magic?" I demonstrated by moving green mist around my hand.

"Maleficent gave you that gift when you were a baby. It was supposed to hide your fairy magic"

"I'm a fairy?" My mouth dropped open.

"Of course, you're the daughter of the Blue Fairy." My mom looked confused.

"All this time, and I never knew." I said spacing out.

"Mal?" I looked up.

"Do you want to know a secret?" My mom said. I nodded,

"Did you know that all fairies have wings?"
