Ben's POV
After scrambling to get myself dressed and presentable I take a deep breath and descend the stairs to get to the living room where I find my parents standing side by side. "Ahh Ben finally! You look a bit flustered are you alright?" My mother asks concerned. "I'm fine, just surprised me that's all." I smile through my worry for Mal. She's climbed out of my window before and every time it worries the hell out of me (yet if I admitted it she'd probably slap me one). "Did you want anything?" I ask. "Ahh yes we do! We'd like your opinion on something." My father starts. "What? Anything." I smile brightly, excited at the prospect of giving my opinion as king. "Well your father and I thought that, well after the coronation and everything that the villain kids." My mother starts I hold my hand up to silence them. "What about them?" I say quickly. "It's not about them dear. Don't worry, it's about there parents. After the coronation it showed us that they are prepared to resurface and with you only new to the job of king we would like to send guards in to the Isle Of The Lost and round them up and lock them away on an even distant island with stronger defenses." My mother explains. "Is the Isle Of The Lost's protection not enough? Is this necessary?" I ask sharply. "We would just like to be absolutely certain especially with the power Maleficent's daughter showed us." My father tuts disapprovingly. "Mal you mean. Look we've been over this. Mal won't hurt anybody, yet what you're proposing is going to make an impact on her. So if you don't mind I'd like to talk it over with her first before making my decision and as king that is all I have to say on the matter." I say sternly. My parents give me a disapproving look yet say nothing as they know nothing will change my mind and as I am king they can't do anything about it!
Audrey's POV
I wait impatiently outside Jay and Carlos's door. I've been dating Jay now for three months after an on off relationship with Chad. I still yearn for Ben within but I feel different with Jay, I feel new and amazing. My parents and grandparents hate my relationship with him but to be honest I really don't care what they have to say. I am about to knock when Jane skids up next to me joining my side as she waits for her boyfriend, Carlos who asked her out right after the coronation. I smile warmly at her. "Hey Jane." I say politely. "Hey, any sign of movement from in there?" She asks. "Nope. They better hurry up. Classes start in fifteen minutes." I mutter, yet before I knock again the door swings open with a flick of Carlos's hand. "Good morning! Hey Jane." Carlos smiles, linking arms with her before disappearing down the corridor. "Hey." Jay's voice comes as I feel strong arms wrap around my middle. "Hey yourself!" I turn to kiss him deeply before taking his hand in mine heading down the corridor to our first class of the day.
Jay and I walk hand in hand down the corridor, earning me some disapproving looks from the cheer squad. I roll my eyes at them. I'm lucky I'm head cheerleader and they can't say anything to my face about my relationship with Jay or I would kick them off the squad yet it still gets to me and Jay can tell. "Ignore them. I don't care what they think you shouldn't either, Jesus Christ!" He cries as a cloud of green smoke flys past his head. I look around to find the source. "God I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from." Comes the voice of the girl who stole Ben from me. Mal. She looks very flustered though, not her usual cocky confident self. Evie close by her side, stroking her arm. Jay releases my hand to go over to the girl he sees as a sister. "You ok Mal?" He asks worriedly. "Yes. I'm ohh no!" She cries as more magic leaps from her hands hitting into a set of lockers. "What's up with your magic?" Jay asks her. "I don't know it's just started going out of control I have no idea what's wrong I've never not had control of my powers before ohh god." She whispers as green smoke leaps from her fingers hurtling towards me, I duck. "Careful where your aiming that!" I yell angrily. "I'm sorry I don't know what's wrong with me today." She looks down, panic evident in her eyes. "What's going on here?" Comes the voice of my ex boyfriend Ben, sorry King Ben as he jogs toward us. "Mal's powers are out of control, we don't know what's wrong with her." Evie states calmly whilst repeatedly stroking her friends arm. "Did you do something to her!" Jay says angrily, glaring at Ben. "Jay!" I gasp, resting my hand in his arm in shock. "Not that I know of." Ben moves closer to Mal, who moves away from him. "Mal calm down." Ben holds his hands out toward her. "I don't want to hurt you!" She protests. "You won't. I know you won't, come here." He holds his arms out toward her and when she doesn't move he rushes forward and pulls her into his arms. "No!" She protests but when nothing happens for a couple of moments she relaxes into his embrace just as the class bell rings out. "Dam we have P.E hate that douce bag Aladdin, he hates my guts. Look after her Ben." Jay mutters before taking my hand and leading us away as I too have P.E. "God that was tense I thought you were going to hurt Ben back there." I shudder. "I was looking out for Mal and if he had done anything to hurt her I probably would have harmed him in some way." He mutters angrily before taking my hand again. "Now what was I saying about our P.E teacher?" He smirks as we walk down the corridor an uneasy feeling shaking me to the core.
Mal's POV
I never lose control of my powers. Never, ever it's something that just doesn't happen my mother made sure of that and I have always had perfect control over them no matter what I conjured up yet in a few split seconds all that control was lost until Ben pulled me into his arms yet the after effects still linger and I focus on controlling my rapid breathing. "What happened?" Ben asks gently. "I don't know Evie and I were walking to class and suddenly my powers came alive and I couldn't stop them and they kept coming and coming." I cry burying my head into his chest. "I'll leave you two. See you in class Mal." Evie touches my shoulder before heading in the direction we were heading in before my powers began acting up. "Your not going to class Mal, not like this. Come on I'll take you back to my room." Ben wraps his arm around my shoulders and I put my arm around his waist as he leads me away.
Ben's POV
I practically carry an exhausted Mal back to my room and by the time we get there I have to carry her up to my bedroom, placing her carefully on my bed before lying down next to her like we had been doing only hours previously. I remember the conversation I had with my parents and I know I have to tell her what we discussed as she has a right to know but I don't know if it's just going to make matters worse which could result in severe consequences.
