❛ i didn’t wanna let you down . ❜
“ Oh, pumpkin ” A sigh passed her lips while she looked at the younger girl, she had grown soft for all of the isle children but it was different this time. They had tried to save been from a kidnapping, tried to do everything in their power so Uma wouldn’t get her wand, they had tried to protect all of Auradon and she couldn’t have been more proud and scared for them. When everything had spilled out and they had finally told her what really happened her whole heart ached, she should have been there to help them and keep them safe, no matter what happened they where her responsibility and they were under her care.
She slowly cupped her cheeks, letting her thumb stroke over them while she shook her head fondly, everything really had changed in just a matter of months. “ Mal, you could never let me down, look of what you have done in just a few months, you have become this wonderful girl, brave and strong and I couldn’t be prouder of you, no matter what happens I will always be here to support you and the others… even if I don’t approve about the fact that you all didn’t tell me what was going on and that you put yourself in danger, I’m so incredibly proud that you did the right thing and tried your best. ”

Who would have thought that she would see the first four villain kids like her own children? There wasn’t anything wrong with that, was it?
“ No matter what you do, whatever you might get involved in I will always be here to support you… You were placed under my care the moment you stepped your foot in Auradon and I won’t ever stop being your guardian and try to do my best to encourage you to do what you love and help you through hard times. ” She pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead while a smile spread on her lips. “ You already made me so very proud “
