Rashid was burning with anger. His face showed it, it was red. Clarion looked into his eyes and lied without any conscience. She watched his despair and did nothing about it.
"What are you doing?"
He went after Mal and found her sitting with her eyes closed.
"Meditating, Adam taught me, it's cool."
She replied. Ben's father had already returned to the camp, but she was still there meditating.
"Nice, but now I need you to come with me."
He was so nervous that he pulled the girl by the arm without further information.
"Hey, are you crazy? What are you thinking?" More nervous than Rashid, was Mal. She took the cat's hands off his arm. "I'm not going anywhere with you."
"Mal is serious. I need to get into Pixie Hollow, but only fairies get in there, and if you can't tell, I'm not one."
"And unless I have invisible wings, I'm not a fairy either."
"But your magic is." He took a breath; it was because of Mal that he was taking such a risk. "Look, if you want to know about your mother's past, you need to come. Do you want to understand once and for all why she is not capable of love?"
"She is evil, she has nothing to understand."
"Mal, your answers are at Pixie Hollow, if you want to go, I'll wait for you at the camp entrance. That decision will be yours."
He wanted to be calm, but he didn't know it and he didn't want to calm down now.

"What is there to know?"
The purple-haired girl was buried in doubt.
"Do you want this?"
Evie asked, and like her other friends hoped only to hear from her friend.
"Where is this place?"
"Is it far away?"
Jay and Carlos asked one after the other.
"I don't know! I don't know, okay?"
She went after them wanting advice no more questions.
"It's your decision, do you want to go?"
Evie asked, holding the girl's hands.
"Maybe?"
She answered doubtfully.
"But what is there to know about Maleficent's past?"
Jay questioned.
"There's a lot we don't know about our parents' past. Our relationship with them isn't exactly the best of all."
Evie said, thinking about Jay's line.
"And what will it change to know what made them become what they are?"
Carlos raised another question.
"You're not helping." Mal complained, bowing his head and mumbling something inaudible. "Hey, aren't you going to say anything else? - She called out to Ben, who had been quiet from the beginning."
"As Evie said, it's your decision, Mal."
The boyfriend replied, looking again into her eyes.
"But, I don't want it to be."
She huffed, pulling away from him.
"You know what I think?" Ben stepped closer. "You already know the answer."
