[ mal smiles slightly before the expression fades. ] I’m here now. And I’m not going anywhere. I’m kind of like a curse that way.
[ her hand goes to nico’s hair, brushing through the sleep-tousled locks. it had never occurred to her that she may have been relatively safe under the dome. with her mother in control of the isle, mal had it a little easier than most. but they remained wholly dependent on auradon. nothing was produced on the island. nothing grew. their lives were hard ( and their parents did not make the days any easier. ) yet, growing up, mal had not feared her for life. she and her friends had the run of the isle and any danger they encountered they had to find for themselves. it did not come hunting for them.
they even had the freedom to badmouth the powers that be, both good and evil, without fear of being struck by lightning.
mal has known hunger. she knows necessity. she knows neglect. she knows being feared and she knows being hated. she has never known war.
with the insidious bloom of the consequences still lingering underneath nico’s skin, she prays they never have cause to see another. ]
