Oh how fun I have science. A girl called Audrey is constantly trying to talk to me but I don't like her. She is quite conceded with her large crown and constant need to talk about herself but im a prince and not to mention a gentleman so I listen to her and take some interest in it. It's the right thing but sometimes I just want to break free and do something wrong for once. I can't though. Im the next king of Auradon, the example and I have no choice in the matter. Im expected to take the crown from my father in six years. I enter the class and walk over to Audrey because she is my partner on this experiment. We are trying to make an apple disappear. It's going to some place where they are stored. I am gathering that it's on the Isle of the lost. I have heard all the stories of the evil that lurks there and their children who, of course must be evil too. I don't think that fair, I mean just because of who our parents are doesn't mean we are automatically like them right?
"Ben!"
"Yea I mean yes what's the problem" I quickly say to Audrey in order to make up for me not answering. I was so focused on my thoughts that I spilled some chemicals on my shirt that made a small purple stain. It turns greenish and back to purple. Audrey screams loudly as I notice my whole body begins to glow and all I see is black before I land in a old room covered in graffiti and a small girl with piercing green eyes looking over me.

"Today has been the worst day ever" I say to my best friend Evie as I watch her re pencil her eye brows on for like the fifth time today.
"Oh come on its not that bad. I mean we found a ware house with apples in it that were not completely rotten. Also Anthony Teranine was totally looking at you in science today." Evie says excitedly
"Eww gross that's disgusting tell him to keep his eyes to himself" I groan. It's starting to make my blush though so I quickly look away and try and focus on the mountain of papers in front of me.
" I don't mean that Eves, I mean the fact that I have English, Maths, Science and I.T homework all for tomorrow and I just can't even make myself start it" I say aspirated to her. After knowing her from basically birth I still don't understand her, I mean we are talking about a girl who ate 3 dermas for a makeup brush
a.n – a derma is a pound, dollar, euro etc. etc. It's the isle of the lost currency but in Auradon they use pounds because that's what im used to.
As she was about to reply a cloud of green smoke began to form. I grabbed my mother's septer from the corner of the living room and both of us (Evie armed with an old lamp) crept over. A boy with chestnut brown hair and blue and yellow clothes appeared. Without a second thought I raised my mother's staff and hit him with it. Really really really hard. It knocked him out and I sit back down with Evie waiting for her to say something. And say something she did.
"MAL!"
Queen Bell PoV
Im sitting in my office, waiting for my husband Adam to come home. The pile of paper work is coming in and I can't seem to get through it own my own. He always have by back and I love him so much. I get a phone call from fairy godmother or Freya as I know her. She sounds very worried and almost sick. I now it must be serious because this have never happened before. I just hope that no one has been hurt.
"Bell im afraid there has been an accident" F.G says to me her voice thick with guilt
"What has happened? Was someone hurt?
"The ten year olds where doing the experiment when they make the apple disappear and one of the students disappeared instead.
"Who was it Freya?"
"Well"
"Freya what child disappeared."
"It was ben. Ben disappeared Bell. Im so sorry"
I drop the phone and choke back a sob. I can't do it. My baby boy, my ben, my only child. I can't do this anymore. As Adam walks in and sees me. His face is worn and tears are running down his face. He holds me and tells me that everything is going to be ok but it wont. Nothing will ever be ok.
