Descendants 3 - Rewrite True defender x Rewrite Finale- P3

after 9 months...its finally here...p3 of TrxRpoyw...enjoy.

The group had to navigate their way through the woods to try and find the main path but luckily Lia had a compass and both Harry’s and Gil’s had an innate sense of direction, and soon they were back on track-heading towards Evie’s starter castle.

Lia informed everyone that their two hours were almost up, and it was just past 3 pm when they were strolling across the lush lawn of Evie’s starter castle. alt Harry jogged forward a bit, seeing an odd shimmer around the castle-and then it shattered-a small wave of iridescent magic flaring across the group.

“What was that?” Lia asked and the group moved quickly towards the house, worried the girls were in trouble but that worry turned to relief as the glass French doors flew open and there they were-alt Mal, Rose, and Uma were the first out-the others plus Doug(thankfully only one) following suit.

Alt Mal bolted right for Alt Ben-the two slamming into each other. “Ben,” Alt Mal almost sobbed, pulling back and checking him over. She knew Ben’s worst fear was being turned into a beast, so whatever happened must’ve been hard to deal with. “Are you okay?” she asked, and Alt Ben nodded, holding her waist.

“I am now,” he said, squeezing her arm when she gave him a look. “Really, I was scared at first but I figured it out, the boys helped, said I looked cool,” he whispered the last bit and Alt Mal rolled her eyes playfully, turning to see the others reuniting with the girls. Rose and Alt Harry were embracing tightly-which made Uma grab Harry’s wrist a bit possessively-and Alt Gil was hugging Alt Uma, lifting her off her feet as he squeezed her.

Mal was staring intently at Alt Ben and Mal, her expression tight with intense thought-and then she looked at Lia and Ben, who were close together and holding hands. She then actually looked at Ben and jolted a bit, she had expected Ben to look like he usually did-handsome and human not…a furry.

Ben saw her look and growled a bit, he was a bit more...animalistic than alt Ben was-his fangs growing a bit with the sudden emotion of protectiveness he felt for Lia in front of Mal. “Oh,” Mal muttered, stepping back.

“He’s sensitive,” Lia said, turning Ben’s attention back to her with a soft smile and her hand gentle on his furry cheek. She didn’t want Mal to say something off the top of her head, she wasn’t exactly known for being…empathetic.

“Killer look,” Mal said after a long pause, her stance showing how awkward she felt. “Is it, uh, permanent?” Mal asked.

“It might be if Audrey isn’t defeated,” Lia said, which reminded her of the mission, and that seemed to remind everyone else as well. “Do you have a lead?”

Mal tipped her chin up, so proud of herself(even if it had been Uma who had found the diary and Rose who confirmed that would’ve been Audrey’s most likely location, and where Audrey/Maleficent would’ve hidden out ironically.) for finding a lead on Audrey. “Yes, we looked through her diary-“

“Seriously?” Lia said, Audrey might’ve gone evil but that didn’t mean her privacy should’ve been invaded! Alt Mal spoke up before an argument broke out. “We’ll apologize to her after,” Lia sighed but nodded and Mal went on as if no one had spoken up. “We think she’s at fairy cottage,” She turned to Ben. “Do you know where that is?” he nodded. “Can you lead us there?” Mal asked, Ben nodded again.

“That’s settled then, we need to plan.” Alt Mal said as she stepped away from Alt Ben. Uma nodded in agreement. “We need to be careful about this, Audrey’s got loads of power, and there’s two of them-one of them possessed by Maleficent.” Uma said.

Mal just shrugged their concern off. “It’ll be fine, I’ve got the ember.” Mal said, holding up the glowing blue gem. No one looked convinced, including Alt Mal. “And?” Alt Mal said, her brow raising. “The ember alone won’t be enough. It only promises you a quarter of Hades power, and even then all it really does is drain magic,” She paused. “Well, that’s what my ember does, but still-my point stands. We need a plan, and we need to attack together, there's two threats, Audrey and mom. You need more than just yourself.”

Lia decided she liked this Mal, she wasn’t so… self-assured and was ready to accept help when she needed it.

“Three years of therapy everyone,” Rose joked from beside Alt Harry, and Alt Mal rolled her eyes. “Not the time Rose, but thanks.” She said, turning back to Mal, who seemed to be holding back some burst of emotions as she stared hard at Alt Mal. “We need a plan.”

“I have a plan.” Mal said haughtily, quite perturbed that her own alt self was so…teamworkey. “You all stand back and watch as I take care of Audrey and save the kingdom, and then you all can go home and we can all have our happily ever after.”

“You mean, save Audrey, right?” Rose said, stepping forward, and Mal felt a chill go down her spine at the look in the blonde's eyes. “Right, Mal?”

“Of course, save.” Mal said, almost nervously, her eyes glancing to the side. “Save Audrey and the kingdom.” Mal wanted Rose far away from her, she was…dangerous, especially with that ‘immune to magic’ thing she apparently had.

Rose didn’t look convinced, and neither did Alt Mal, both sets of pirates, Lia, and both Ben’s. Hadie looked very unimpressed as well. “Well, as it stands, we still need a plan for our Audrey, the one possessed by mom? I know I can’t take care of her on my own, so I’m making a plan either way.” Alt Mal said, crossing her arms-she…didn’t like her other self, Mal reminded her of mom.

Mal closed her eyes-her hands clenching a bit. “It’s a smart idea, Mal,” Evie said, trying to calm Mal down with a small smile. “It is never wise to go in without a plan.”

“Whatever. Make your plan, I have mine.” Mal said, crossing her arms and looking away-the ember still in her grip. Alt Mal rolled her eyes and turned to her group, stepping closer to alt Uma for a moment.

“Was I like that before?” She asked quietly to Alt Uma, and she snorted with a nod-holding back a chuckle when Mal made a face. “Yeesh, I know I said I was sorry before but I’m sorry for…” Alt Mal looked over her shoulder at Mal-who was practically pouting at being undermined by her own alt self. “That.”

Alt Uma snorted again, and Mal smiled. “Yeah, help me plan? You’re better at making plans for big groups.” Alt Uma actually looked shocked to hear that but then she smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I can help.”

It took maybe only 15 minutes to come up with a plan, but it was a solid one. And soon enough the group of 22 teens/young adults began the journey towards fairy cottage, Doug and Jane staying back to make sure the sleeping vks were safe within Evie’s starter castle.

Ben led the way through the woods, Mal was right behind him, her hand still holding the ember. Alt Mal was a few paces back, her eyes locked onto Mal’s back.

Something felt…off, about all this, she couldn’t put her finger on it, but something was wrong-and it wasn’t just Audrey having the scepter.

Carlos was talking about Chad and about what Jane had told them about him joining forces with Audrey, and they classified him as a glorified hostage since…well…it was Chad.

“Great, another person’s butt I have to save,” Mal said, but she didn’t sound all that upset about it, in fact-she looked to be hiding a smile. Still, Lia reached out, resting her hand on Mal’s shoulder. “You’re not alone Mal, you have all of us.” Lia reminded, and Mal didn’t look happy to receive that, shrugging Lia’s hand off.

“Don’t worry about me, I’ve got this.” Mal said, speeding up to walk next to Ben, attempting to lead the group with him still leading the way. Uma watched her go, and once she was sure Mal was out of ear shot-while keeping her eye on the alt Mal-went over to Lia and whispered into her ear.

“She got real haughty, more than usual, once she discovered she could turn into a dragon-like her mom could-didn’t she? Real insistent on saving the day by herself.” Uma said, her eyes locked onto the two dragons that were imprinted on Mal’s back.

“Seems so,” Lia said passively, her eyes drawn to the alt Mal, who seemed to be having a silent conversation with alt Uma, alt Evie, and Rose, the four glancing between each other and Mal. It seemed they had their own opinion on how Mal was acting.

“You know what I find funny?” Uma said to Lia, and Alt Mal glanced over her shoulder at them, seemingly listening in. Uma let her. Lia hummed, gesturing for Uma to go on. “That the evening after Ben proposes to you, Audrey takes the scepter. Audrey, as far as we know, has shown no bad feelings between you two, right?” Lia nods, and alt Mal keeps her eyes on them, glancing forward at Mal, her eyes narrowing a bit. “Not only that, she takes the scepter, something that shouldn’t work out of Maleficent’s command,”

“Or her descendants command,” Lia mumbled, her brows furrowing as the pieces began to fall into place. “You don’t think…”

“I don’t wanna point fingers just yet, but don’t you think it’s odd? That Mal claims the dragon's eye can only be defeated by Hades ember? Something she claims that only she can use? And it gave her, her magic back?” Uma continues, keeping her voice hushed, glancing at alt Mal, who seems to be handing this same suspicion over to her friends, who all begin to glance at each other, getting just as suspicious about Mal as Lia and Uma were.

“Mal gets her powers back, makes a big show about how she’s the ‘true defender’ of Auradon, and keeps trying to do things on her own,” Lia mumbled, remembering Mal’s outburst during the meeting with Beast, Belle, and FG earlier. Uma nods.

“It’s funny how this all just, fits into place for her, doesn’t it? Audrey takes the scepter, an item famous for being cursed to be only used by Maleficent and her offspring lest the user wants to be thrown into an eternal sleep, Mal claims the ember is the only thing to stop it-an item she claims only she can use, she’s insistent on doing this alone, on being the hero. I trust I’m not the only one sensing a pattern.” Uma said, tapping her fingers against her thigh, Lia’s brows furrowing as Uma painted a picture, and it wasn’t a pretty one.

“She wants attention,” Lia mumbled, knowing Mal very much felt like Lia had stolen her thunder, not only with her powers but also by being with Ben.

“She wants Ben back.” Uma added, yes Mal wanted attention, but she also wanted Ben back-the king of Auradon. “Think about it, remember how she so eloquently put it when Ben proposed to you? ‘you’ve won Ben’. I think that Mal thinks if she defeats Audrey, with all the glitz and glamour of a hero, she’ll win him back.”

Lia narrows her eyes a bit, her wings fluffing at the notion of Mal ‘winning’ Ben back. Ben wasn’t a prize. He was human, just like everyone else, with his own feelings and desires, he wasn’t someone to ‘win.’ He had chosen Lia. Not Mal. “She won't win Ben back, she can save the day alone all she wants, but that won't do anything in the end, Ben’s made his choice.” Lia said calmly, her gaze straight ahead at her beloved fiancé. Ben loved her and she loved him, she was quite certain Ben didn’t care if Mal saved the day or not, he just wanted to make sure his kingdom and people were safe, it didn’t matter to him how it was saved.

Uma nodded; glad Lia was confident in this. She looked up, cursing under her breath as she saw the stars peering out from the darkening sky. “It’s already nightfall,” Uma said loud enough for everyone to hear, everyone looking up to the sky to look for themselves. “We need to be careful; Audrey and Maleficent can catch us off guard easier in the dark.”

The group nodded, putting up their guard again, having relaxed on the walk to the cottage. “How much further?” Carlos asked Ben and he paused, looking through the trees and growling. Lia spoke up for him. “it's just up ahead, let’s all be careful, who knows what traps the Audreys might’ve set for us, let alone one of them being Maleficent.” Lia said and everyone scattered amongst the trees to begin their descent upon the ‘queen of mean’s’ hideout.

It was quiet as the two groups descended upon the cottage…almost too quiet. Alt Mal tossed her glowing ember to Hadie, who’s eyes glowed yellow and hair turned to fire as he clutched the ember in his fist, Rose and Harry drew the swords alt Uma had conjured up, and both versions of Gil, Jay, and Carlos were ready to defend at a moment’s notice, and alt Uma’s eyes were locked onto the cottage, ready for a fight against the mistress of all Evil.

Both Mal’s crept up to the iron gate, alt Mal hissing a bit as the iron burned her skin and she used her leather glove/sleeve to push open the gate. She nodded back to her friends and they all moved forward, ready to leap into action at any moment, Hadie right behind alt Mal, the ember in his grip-ready to free their Audrey from Maleficent’s possession spell.

Mal glanced at her alt self and then looked back at the cottage, searching for any sign that Audrey knew they were there, but when nothing stirred, Mal signaled to move forward, and she and the others stormed into the house, Mal and Hadie holding the embers in their fists.

The door burst open, Mal ready to take down Audrey, but it was dark and quiet within the cottage, not even a dust bunny to be seen. Jay rushed in while everyone flooded into the cottage where Princess Aurora had once been hidden, alt Mal scanned everywhere she could look for any sign of the Maleficent possessed Audrey.

There was nothing.

“She’s not upstairs,” Jay said, alt Jay right behind him as they came down from checking the 2nd floor of the cottage. Mal looked frustrated and confused. “I don’t understand,” Mal spat out, bringing her hands to her head and pressing her fists to her temples. “She should be here!”

“She must’ve left,” Evie said, quite unhelpfully since it was obvious that Audrey had abandoned the cottage where she had been earlier.

“Yeah, but where? And why?” Jay asked, continuing to look around the cottage for clues.

“She knew we were coming,” Rose says and Lia nods, having just about to say that.

“She tracked us down to the castle and through the forest,” Lia continued, tapping her chin in thought.

“And she found us at Evie’s place, she’s known where we were the whole time, tracking us through the scepter. She knew where we were, what our plan was, and when we arrived, she-both of them-probably left a while ago.” Rose finishes, the group spinning around as the pantry door begins to sound with rapid knocks, like someone was trapped inside.

“Two bucks that’s Chad.” Rose says as Ben quickly goes over to the locked pantry door, alt Ben and both Harry’s guarding his back just in case it is something malicious.

Ben peered into the small window of the pantry and then pulled up the wooden lock of the door, pulling open the door to reveal…Chad, curled up on the floor and murmuring about his mother.

“Chad?” Ben says gruffly and the blonde whimpers. “I want my mommy,” Chad says, and Ben pulls him up. Chad, upon realizing it was Ben-a beastly version of him-well two Bens…two Mals…two…everyone except Lia and the blonde girl amongst the group-latches onto Ben.

“Your face,” Chad mutters, eyes wide at the fur on Ben’s face and he looks awkwardly at Lia for help, who was pressing her lips together to hold back a laugh at Ben’s reaction. “She’s gone huh?” Chad asks and without waiting for an answer, he sees the open door and books it.

“Freedom!!!”

Rose and both Harry’s laughed as Chad ran for it like a chicken on fire, Harry quietly mocking him as Carlos peeked out the cottage door, watching Chad book it into the dark forest. “So…we were right about the hostage thing,” Carlos said awkwardly, sharing a glance with his alt self, Dude at their feet. Alt Carlos gave a shrug.

“If Chad was here alone, locked in the pantry, then Audrey must’ve abandoned this place for good,” Evie said, alt Evie nodded in agreement, which made Mal stomp her foot like a child being refused a cookie.

“Oh, come on! We were so close!” Mal hissed and alt Mal gave her an odd look, not liking this behavior.

It reminded her too much of their mother.

“Now we’re back at the starting line,” Mal hissed, pocketing her ember and storming out of the cottage, the others following close behind.

“We’ll find another lead,” Lia said, attempting to offer support to Mal who was clearly frustrated. “we’ll find Audrey, both of them.” Lia said, looking at alt Mal who gave a thankful smile in return. She knew she needed to find her Audrey, and soon, lest her mother’s possession spell take full control, and Audrey was gone for good.

“The longer she’s out there the more havoc she can wreak,” Mal said, looking out into the dark enchanted forest, only the wind to be heard in the eerily quiet night. “she’s more unpredictable than I thought,”

Rose narrowed her eyes, something about the way Mal said that made her gut twist for some reason.

“If you let me help, we can cover more ground.” Lia offered, just wanting to help but Mal was stubborn.

“No.” Mal said sharply, with such a tone that it made everyone look at her in surprise, alt Mal frowned more-the last time she had used that tone was back when she had lived on the isle and was still fighting with Uma. “I got this. Come on.” Mal commanded, moving forward out of the cottage garden and into the forest, wondering where Audrey could’ve gone.

Alt Mal and alt Ben glanced at each other, their brows furrowed, the other alt vks and Rose seemingly all sharing the same thought. ‘This is sus’. “Is it just me or…is she…” Ben started awkwardly, and Mal nodded, running her hand through her hair, Uma stepping up next to them to continue Ben’s sentence. “being a stuck-up brat who refuses to accept help so she can be top dog?” Alt Uma said, annoyed, and Ben slowly nodded.

“Yeah…that,” alt Ben mumbled, and they watched as Lia walked up to Mal and seemingly offer help/a pep talk but it quickly turned sour as Mal got defensive, talking about ‘it’s a god thing’ and Lia’s voice turned sharp. “I am descended from a goddess. Don’t tell me I wouldn’t understand.” Lia said and Mal glared back at her, scrunching her nose in anger; she seemed ready to snap back only for Carlos to interrupt her anger.

“Speaking of the ember, didn’t Lia brush it off and push back Hades a few days ago, right?” Carlos said, the others nodding in remembrance while Alt Carlos pointed at Rose. “yeah, same for us-Rose body slammed him back into the barrier and she just brushed off that beam that almost took down our Mal, and she’s immune to magic-if Lia’s nearly the same while having her own set of powers, it’s clear that Lia is more powerful than the ember, right?”

Mal scoffed, she did not like how her Carlos and this-alt Carlos were talking. Lia? More powerful than the ember? Fat chance. The ember was more powerful than anything else-even Maleficent’s scepter. “Pure luck.” Mal spat. “She scared Hades with some flashy lights and wings, that’s all.” Mal said, looking around for anyone to agree with her, but no one seemed to share her thoughts. She huffed, stomping her foot like a child again. “I’m doing this! You can’t stop me!” Mal almost screeched, turning on her heeled foot and starting to walk off towards the forest again.

“We’re not trying to stop you!” Lia said, her voice exhausted and exasperated as she walked after Mal-the others doing the same to keep up with the…conversation. “We’re trying to do what’s best to keep Auradon safe!”

Mal scoffed again, rolling her eyes. “Oh really?! Like when you stood against my decision earlier? When I was trying to keep Auradon safe without my magic?!”

“Trying to keep Auradon safe??” Lia gasped, anger seeping into her tone but it was mostly surprise at how warped Mal’s perception of her choices was. “You wanted to close the isle’s barrier forever!!”

“WHAT?!“ a voice roared, and Mal spun around to face her alt self-who was practically glowing with pure anger and horror. “You did what?!?!” Alt Mal stormed past Lia as the others watched, some in horror, some in anger, some in growing betrayal. “You suggested to close the barrier?!”

Mal could hardly get any words out as her alt self got into her face; her teeth bared in anger. “How could you?! For what reason??” Alt Mal screamed, her fists clenched, steam-or was it smoke?-rising from her shoulders, hair, and fists, her anger so deep and hot that it seemed to seep out of her skin.

Mal opened her mouth to speak but alt Mal wouldn’t even let her get an edge in. “What about all those kids on the isle?! What about the food they need that come from the barges?! Were you just going to let them die?! To be abused and used by their own parents! We know what it was like on there-we know what it was like for them!” alt Mal points back at her friends, including the pirates, who all stare back at Mal in either hatred, or betrayal. “And you-over one single security problem, that could EASILY be solved-you just-close the barrier?! What were you thinking?!”

“I had to!” Mal tried to defend herself, stuttering over her words, unwilling to admit alt Mal’s words had shaken her resolve a bit, but she was stubborn, and thought she was the only protector Auradon had. “I had to try and keep the kingdom safe-even when I had no powers!”

“Lia did!!” Ben roared, snapping his teeth at Mal, his frustration at her self-importance, which made it terribly hard for her to even think about others being as ‘strong’/’helpful’ as her, growing.

“I have powers,” Lia said, as if she needed to remind anyone. “I promised that I would protect the kingdom. Mal sent me to find the crowd and the scepter, and that’s when Ben and I were trying to do until Audrey attacked.”

“See?!” Mal said, throwing her hands up, attempting to push blame onto Lia, as if she wasn’t the one to make Lia go on a wild goose chase in the first place. “The barrier wouldn’t have closed for good unless Lia failed too!”

“No! you do not get to pin this on her!” Jay stepped forward, pointing his finger at Mal in such a sudden way that she jumped back, her eyes going wide. “It’s getting tiring Mal. None of your bad decisions are ever your fault are they?! it’s always someone else. You said it’s Lia’s fault that your kiss didn’t break Uma’s spell, and now it’s her fault again if the barrier stayed closed forever?!”

Uma sneered at Mal, her fists clenched at her sides, looking pissed and just disappointed at the same time. “I should’ve never given you the ember back,”

“I was trying to protect the kingdom!” Mal protested; her fists clenched around the ember in her hands. “Lia and Ben wanted to put it in danger!”

“We wanted-to Help!” Ben roared, his cursed beastly form overtaking the human form, horns starting to grow from his head as his teeth sharpened. Lia turned to calm him, her hands resting on his shoulders.

Emotions and tension were running high in everyone, everyone, including alt Mal, were glaring at Mal-who seemed to only try and push the blame off herself even further-digging her grave only deeper.

“You wanted to help the wrong people! Your kingdom needed safety more than the isle kids needed freedom!” Mal snapped, and Evie, Uma, and Carlos flinched back at that-Mal implying that the Vks on the isle weren’t worth helping or were the wrong ones to help-even though they needed it the most. “This is wasting Time!” Mal huffed, turning to head out of the forest again to continue the search for Audrey. “The kingdom needs to be saved but standing here yelling about something that doesn’t matter anymore-“

Mal felt a hand on her arm that she knew must be Evie’s and turned, expecting to see Evie’s kind smile and peacekeeping grace, but only saw cold anger and tears in Evie’s brown eyes, and the righteous fury of Alt Mal and Rose, both glaring at her.

Evie held out her hand expectantly, Mal just stared.

“Give me the ember,” Evie said, defeated, angry.

Mal looked stunned at Evie’s command, blinking rapidly as she held the ember closer to her chest. “wha-“ She couldn’t believe that Evie, of all people, was turning on her too. “E, no. I’m the only one who can use the ember-“

Hadie and Alt Mal silenced Mal’s protest with a cold glare, Hadie’s hair lighting aflame as Mal’s eyes glowed a wicked yellow, both very pissed and living proof that Mal’s defense of ‘im the only one who can use the ember’ didn’t work.

“Unfortunately, I don’t trust you anymore…maybe I shouldn’t have ever trusted you.” Evie said far too calmly. Mal tightened her grip on the ember, clenching her jaw tightly.

“You’re choosing Lia over me?” Mal asked, as if that’s what Evie was doing, as if Evie was the one in the wrong.

“You wanted to abandon the isle.” Evie said, a tear slipping down her cheek, holding out her hand to Mal for the ember. “You wanted to abandon the kids still there. Why would I trust you anymore?”

Mal took another step back, her expression of shock and betrayal. How could they? They were supposed to be her friends, not Lia’s!

While everyone was distracted and focused on Mal, no one noticed Celia appearing and snatching the ember from Mal’s grip. “Give that back!” Mal yelped; the others now focused on Celia.

“Celia! You were supposed to stay with the others!” Alt Evie gasped as Mal reached for Celia, trying to get the ember back but Celia quickly darted out of reach.

“I actually thought you were brave!” Celia yelled, tears in her eyes as she glared at Mal. “turns out you’re just a big chicken!” Celia, in a fit of anger, threw the ember into the nearby birdbath and ran away.

“No!” Mal screamed, racing for the extinguished ember as it sparked and sputtered, quickly going from a glowing blue gem to a piece of coal.

“Celia!” Evie, Uma, Lia, and Rose all called out, watching the young girl race into the darkness of the enchanted forest.

“Shit,” Rose muttered under her breath, looking at Lia and Lia raced after Celia, Ben close behind. Rose let them, Lia could protect herself and Celia needed someone who could soften the blow and make things better rather than make things worse by being blunt.

Lia and Ben quickly caught up with Celia, Lia begging for the young teen to stop-the forest was far too dangerous right now with Audrey and Maleficent lurking. “I can't believe her!” Celia cried, clenching her jaw tightly. “Acting like the hero when she just wanted to close the barrier for good! She’s so-“ Celia let out a scream that rattled the sleeping forest, Lia stepped close, hovering her hand over Celia’s shoulder, unsure if Celia would be okay with her comforting her.

“I’m so sorry about her, about all of this,” Lia said softly, crouching in front of Celia as she sniffled. “But the barrier won't be closing for good. I promise.”

“Both of us…promise,” Ben said, his voice a deep grumble as he looked down at Celia, his eyes remorseful for letting things get this far.

Celia looked between the two, like she expected them to change their minds at any moment. “You won't let it happen?” she asked softly and both Lia and Ben shook their heads.

“No. We will get all the isle kids off,” Lia said with a reassuring smile. “No matter what Mal says now, her words will not stand. When Ben and I are officially king and queen, not even the so called ‘defender of Auradon’ can stop us.” Lia looked to Ben for support, and he nodded, there was no way in hell he was going to let Mal have her way. Again.

Celia made a face at the name. “that’s a stupid name.” she huffed, crossing her arms. “Mal doesn’t defend Auradon, she only defends herself.”

Lia wished she could argue against that, but she couldn’t, it was true. “I promise you’ll see your dad again Celia,” Lia said softly, smiling a bit as Celia gave her a skeptical look. She wished she knew exactly what to say to make Celia feel better about…all of this, but for now, all she could offer was a hug.

Celia surprised her by walking into her arms with little hesitation, holding onto Lia tightly as if to make sure Lia kept her promises.

A clap of thunder and the flash of pink lightning made the two jump apart, Lia turning to see a figure emerge from a swirl of pink smoke, familiar magenta tones and a green eerie glow meeting Lia’s gaze. “Aww, how sweet~” Audrey cooed, smirking at Celia and Lia.

“Audrey!” Lia gasped, Celias running behind Ben for protection as Lia stood to face Audrey. “What are you doing here?!”

“Oh-I’m just offering my sympathy to the sweet little girl who was told she’d never see her father again,” Audrey cooed, pouting a bit as she looked at her scepter, which glowed with evil intent. “Mal disappoints us all, sooner or later, doesn’t she?” Audrey hummed, looking around, raising her brow at Ben who growled at her. “Oh dear, you’re looking better.” She mocked, tapping the scepter to the forest floor and blasting Celia and Ben off their feet with a wave of magenta magic.

Ben tumbled back roughly, while Celia rolled across the soft dirt. In a flash Audrey appeared behind her and grabbed Celia by the scruff of her collar, pulling her up into a tight grip that Celia couldn’t wiggle out of. “Lia help!” Celia screamed and Lia summoned her wings, leaping towards the two but they disappeared in an instant as Audrey cackled, raising her scepter and disappearing in a flash of pink lightning.

Lia’s wings furled and she stopped herself from hitting the ground, her eyes wide as Ben sat up, staring at the spot Audrey and Celia had disappeared from. They glanced at each other, Lia taking a moment to check on Ben, and then they rushed back towards Fairy Cottage.

Hello! I am so happy to find someone who writes for the naturals!

Michael Townsend x Redding!Reader

Dean would not be happy. Like at all.

There would definitely be a, keep the door open rule.

And he would make it his personal mission to make sure you two aren't left alone for long.

He strikes me as an overprotective big bro

(also established reader plz)

michael townsend x redding!reader

hcs about being dean's little sister, also in the naturals program, & dating michael townsend. aka a recipe for disaster.

a/n: omg. ur mind. I LOVE THIS!!! i am a team michael girlie thru and thru so this is gonna be fun to write. tysm for the request and i love ur writings of dean and michael !!! i hope u dont mind i added some backstory, i tried to keep it to the point🤞

word count: 2.3k

warnings: none rlly?, suggestiveish content, some violence

you and dean were close, probably closer than most siblings would admit they were to their brother or sister. being only a year younger than him made it easier to connect and relate to each other.

because of the trauma brought on during childhood because of your serial killer father, you and dean were closer than ever. dean also became a lot more protective over you as the years passed by.

dean had always been your protector since childhood — beating up anyone who bullied you, scaring off mean girls, bandaging up any cuts and bruises, etc.

when the two of you started becoming more aware of your father’s horrendous acts, dean did his best to keep you out of it. he was the first to step for any torturous task your father asked of you, and was always quick to step in front of you in the presence of your dad.

after the whole investigation and arrest of your father, you’d met agent briggs & sterling, who at the time were married. there he sat the two of you down to explain the two of you had a special trait that labeled you under the category ‘natural.’ dean’s gift being profiling while yours revolved around being a forensic analyst.

it was difficult to comprehend, specially at a young age, but the both of you mutually agreed the best option was to go with agent briggs to join the beginning of the naturals program.

you were brought to some sort of safe house, where you were ought to live for who knew however long. there you met an older man, whose name was judd hawkins. you found out he was the one going to watch over you and manage house tasks.

after awhile, you were introduced to someone new, also natural. her name – lia zhang.

she was a natural lie detector and at deception. you were a little wary of her at first, but then the three of you became close.

however, she had always trusted dean more and was more best friends with him than you.

a part of you felt left out, but you didn’t speak up in fear of being dramatic. it was enough lia was your friend you told yourself.

not too long after another girl joined the small group, sloane tavish who was a natural statistician.

she was quite weird and awkward, spewing the most random facts when she saw an opportunity, but you got along with her great. however, she was almost occupied in the basement doing experiments to be a friend to you in the traditional sense.

you’d still hoped for a best friend of your own. and your wish got granted and brought to in the form of michael townsend, an emotion reader.

though at first, he was like lia when he arrived, closed off and not very open to friendships. but eventually you all warmed up to each other.

now that there was the presence of another male in the house, there was tension between the two. dean warned you to be weary around michael because he didnt trust him fully yet.

however, michael saw to this and took the opportunity to come around you whenever he pleased. and dean would retaliate by telling michael to stay away, but this only encouraged him.

you found him quite annoying at first, reading and calling out your emotions bluntly as casually as he says your name. but after awhile the two of you became very good friends.

dean was more lenient as he got to know michael, but the two never became much of friends - more on a frenemies level.

you and michael connected over books, music, and learned more about each other. his mask started collapsing and you were able to open up the persona he tried so hard to hide.

when him and lia started getting involved, you did your best not to care. you told yourself michael could be with who he wants, and him opening up to you didn't mean he liked you romantically.

once cassie joined you guys, you and her became quick friends. you knew what it felt like to be left out, so you wanted to include her as much as you could.

she helped you in realizing your feelings for michael. you hadn't ever let the thought cross your mind before, but after you confinded in cassie on your insecurity about lia and michael - it became clear.

so you chicken out and spent time with michael less. it was lucky for you that being best friends with him meant you knew a few tricks to cover up your true emotions. but michael could tell something was off once you slowly distanced yourself.

though your brother didn't mention it, you knew he was cheering on lia and michael if it meant you and michael disconnected. but he became occupied with cassie to get a chance to profile your reasoning for the distance.

it came to a head when he cornered you one night, demanding an explanation. caught off guard, you let a crack of your true emotions reveal, and it was enough for michael to quickly pick up what it meant.

you were utterly embarrassed and ready to face rejection, but he surprised you and instead kissed you.

he admitted he had a fancy for you, as he put it. and the two of you began your relationship.

you wanted to hide it for a bit because you knew dean would not approve whatsoever. but living with naturals meant there it was close to impossible to keep any secrets. lia was quick to catch on, and didn't waste a second in spreading it to the others.

the first thing dean did was punch michael in the face. it happened so abruptly, you both were in the living room then dean strided in angrily and just sucked punched your boyfriend.

you immediately shouted at you brother for his overreaction, but dean kept throwing threats at michael to stay away from you . michael clutched his face, but wasn't faced - he was actually amused and just gave your brother a taunting smirk.

you had to physically hold dean with all your might to prevent him from throwing another punch.

dean's protectiveness only got worse from there.

he watched the the two of you like a hawk. if he saw you close to one another, he would stand or sit between you both to divide you.

if you and michael went somewhere together, trust he was following closely behind.

for instance, michael took you out to the movies for a date - going as far to rent the entire theater for you both.

you leaned your head on michael at some point during the film, and that's when dean appeared from the seats behind you, and pushed your head off.

you were startled so bad, the popcorn in your lap went flying.

dean consistently tried to tell you that michael was going to break your heart, he isn't the type to be serious, and that his past relationship with lia was proof of that.

it was so much worse when he caught the two of you kissing or making out.

he screamed to scare you two parts, physically separated the two of you, and he sometimes even tackled michael.

you were completely embarrassed of your brother's actions, part of you feared it would actually scare your boyfriend away, but michael didn't care for dean's interference, he continued to be with you when and where ever he pleased.

once cassie and dean got together, things cooled down a bit. she managed to get him to see a bit of reasoning.

but dean still had a set of rules he expected you to follow.

number one on the list was - if you and michael are alone in a room together, the door had to be open. especially if it was his room you were in.

there was an incident that brought it on.

you and michael frequently went up to his room for privacy to hang out. usually, you took naps, watched movies, researched a case, etc., although the both of you always just end up kissing on his bed. at this point, dean still could not believe the two of you were together.

well, one afternoon the two of you were looking through interviews for a new case. then michael claimed he was desperately bored and needed to be entertained. you rolled your eyes at his antics and continued reading the transcripts.

but then he slyly began kissing your neck, slowly pulling you away from the case and into the comfort of his bed.

next thing you knew, you were under him, making out devoutly on his bed. no surprise that michael got what he wanted.

his hands made it way under your shirt when dean came barging in, having an inquiry on the case you were supposed to be looking at.

once he saw the position you two were in, he flipped out. yelling at michael to get off of you and threatening to kill him. you immediately sat up, composing yourself and tried to calm your brother down. michael was of no help, he just rolled his eyes at his outrage and said, "if your this angry at kissing, at hate to see your reaction to our other activities."

you threw a pillow at him, "not helping!"

everyone else ran into the room because of the loud commotion, much to your humiliation, thinking a something horrible had occurred.

lia was holding back a hard laugh, cassie tried to reel dean in, sloane threw in some statistics on sister and brother's best friend relations, judd had to break up michael and dean's fight, and agents briggs and sterling just stayed at their door annoyed by the whole event.

you wanted to forget that whole event entirely, the thought enough makes you wanna cringe in shame.

ever since then, dean has made it his sole purpose to ensure the door is always open; he even walks by the room every few hours, which he swears is just a coincidence.

the only common subject that brings michael and dean together is you. it seems to be the only thing they agree on when it pertains to your well-being.

they are quick to object to anything that would put you in danger.

lia had convinced you and cassie to go along with her to a college party, she claimed it would help you guys find more evidence for a lead on the case. she gave you guys some interesting clothing to fit the role.

you three got in smoothly and split up to talk to possible suspects or witnesses. you talked to were able to talk with a few people, feigning curiosity. lia had been right, there was connections to the case at the party.

you were talking with a guy who was as interesting as a brick, but he was unknowingly drunkenly babbling about possible useful information, so you acted interested, nodding along to his obnoxious story.

but then he started getting handsy, trying to get you into his room, and you declined very clearly multiple times, but dude couldn't take the message.

when you tried to walk away he grabbed your wrist harshly, calling you malicious names for leading him on. you were on the verge of calling for lia or cassie, when the drunk man was forcefully pulled away from you.

you were then pushed behind someone protectively, and you recognized his back appearance; it was dean.

turning toward direction of where the drunk guy was pulled into, and there was your boyfriend, angrily holding the guy by the collar.

"don't touch my girlfriend."

"girlfriend? dude, hate to break it to you, but she was all over me. practically whoring herself out since she's arrived."

michael wasted no time in throwing a fist to the guy's face for his remark.

dean also look agitated at the guy's degradtion of you, and for the first time, looked satisfied at michael's actions. eventually, dean had to pull michael away from seriously injuring the guy, and drawing even more attention.

cassie and lia made their way to you, surprised by the arrival of the guys, who looked pretty peeved at the fact you all three snuck out.

wasting no time, you all were driven back home by michael; quietly making your way into the house to avoid alerting sterling and judd.

lia and cassie were smart to quickly to make their way to their rooms, but you weren't so lucky; dean held your arm to stop you from escaping.

you were used to dean's reprimands, and even the occasional chide from michael when you did something dangerously, but you knew you were in for it if both of them were ready to scold you.

dean started it - rhetorically, asking what were you thinking, then went into his 'protective brother' rant you were too use to. then michael jumped in, saying you going along with a lia plan was never the best idea and that you should've at least told him to go along with you.

they even took turns having a go at how stupid the entire plan was. you never wanted them to go back to fighting more than now.

why couldn't they have bonded over sports or games like normal people.

you tried to defend your side, saying you did find helpful information, but it fell deaf to their ears.

you were watched like a hawk for week after that. dean even threatened to put a ankle monitor on you. michael was even amused at his threat. the jerks.

dean and michael's small alliance quickly ended the moment michael made a indecent comment about you at dinner.

in time, dean did start getting along with michael. he still liked to act protective, but you knew in his heart he trusted michael and knew he was a good man for you.

but to this day, dean continues to glare at any pda you and michael share.

god, you'd hate to see the day michael asks dean for his blessing.
