Ben watched as the doctors surrounded Gil the second they entered the Hospital. The quickly started to check his pulse, Airways before feeling if there were any broken ribs when Gil started to shake uncontrollably.
"Seizure!" A nurse yelled. "Doctor what do you need?!"
Rushing along side the hostel Ben could take his eyes off the blonde boy as they cut away his clothes, injected him with a name of medication he didn't recognize as they started to name off injuries. What really shocked Ben was the number of bruises and scars. SOme were fading, other news, some scars light other jagged as if cut with glass.
"Your Majesty, you can't come further than this point," A Nurse stopped him as she looked very concerned before looking at both him and his Dad. "We'll keep in touch. Other is the check in please leave his information with him."
"Right, of course,"
Adam looked at his son who was just staring at the patient information slip. "What's wrong son?"
"His name is Gil," Ben spoke before he looked a long pause before looking at his dad. "That's it. That's all there is."
"We're you going to have them forward you his information from the Isle of the Lost?"
"I did and that's all there is," Ben held up his phone. "Gil's name is the only thing here besides the statement that he is either fifteen or sixteen but they don't know which."
"What?" Adam took the phone. "I'll call the head of the medical team and ask them to send over the right papers. This has to be a mistake."
"That is them Dad. The go every time a child is born there but that's it." Ben stood up before he turned to his Father. "I'm going to see if Mal and the others know anything."
"I'll stay here,"
"Thanks, Dad," Ben took his phone back before holding his head high. "Call if you find out anything,"
"Will do, sport,"
Carlos was asleep in his room he shared with Jay when there was a knock on the door. Frowning the black and white haired boy tried to ignore whoever it was. Probably Chad since they had changed their locks a few days ago.
The knocking increased so Carlos pulled the sheet up to his head whining. Dude sat up looking at the door sniffing the air before baking happily.
"It's Ben! Hi, Ben!"
SItting up Carlos blinked before glancing over at Jay who seemed to be dead to the world because he hadn't moved at all. Getting up with a loud yawn Carlos made his way to the door before opening it to see Ben looking rather ruffled up.
"Hey, Ben," Carlos rubbed his eyes more. "What's up?"
"I need your help," Ben spoke easily, a proper king like. "I went to Mal and Evie's room but then I remembered it was so late so it' off limits for boys to be in the girl's dorm."
"Okay… uh, Jay's asleep but we can wake him up,"
"I just need some simple information," Ben paused before looking at the shorter teen. "I need Gil's information."
"Gil?" Carlos smiled a little. "Is he coming from Auradon?"
"He's actually here,' Ben paused before asking. "I thought you two didn't get along?"
"Gil was just following Uma's orders and standing with his crew but come, Ben, he's actually one on the Isle. Seriously if he had stayed the next day we'd probably be sharing a snack or something. So… you brought him here?"
"No."
"Wait, are Uma and Harry here?" Carlos tensed a bit. "Because if not you'll have to bring them… those three are never without each other."
"I'm not sure yet, but this is what I need help with," Ben held out the information paper. "Gil's sick and I need help filling it out."
"Oh," Carlos took it looking at it before sighing. "I wish I could help Ben, but I don't even know when my birthday is. My Mom would always tell me between the start of the month to end of the month she knew I was turning older but never told me what day I was born on… Um… I know he's sixteen thought… Gaston's his dad, mom was someone names… actually, I don't know what her name was but that's all I know."
"Better than nothing," Ben smiled looking at the paper before frowning looking at Carlos. "I know I can't make up for your past, Carlos but I will try to find out what day you were born in."
"Thanks, Ben," Carlos paused before looking up in thought. "Gil would like to try milkshakes when he feels better,"
"Got it," Ben nodded before turning to leave. "Thank you, Carlos,"
"No problem," Carlos watched Ben leave before locking the door back. Heading back to his bed Carlos crawled back in covering up before letting his hand slide under his pillow feeling for the knocked out spray he had. Just in case. "Good night, Dude,"
"Good night!"
I had been a long night, the sun was going to be up soon. Sitting in a chair Beast was nursing a dark coffee as he took another drink trying to stay awake. They had come back asking if Gil had any prior surgeries, any health conditions, medical history to which the former KIng had no records for.
Even with all the digging there hadn't come up with anything, no records, not paperwork, a just whole pile of nothing. They had said Gil was suffering from head trauma, hypo during that had been caused by the freezing water, deep bruises and the list didn't seem to stop.
Standing up Beast walked down the hall trying to clear his head when some came rushing in shouting that there were several kids laying knocked out cold on the beach. Rushing over to a window where they could see the beach just as the sun started to rise shown between eight to ten bodies laying unmoving on the beach.
"Get help down there now!" Adam shouted as he ran toward the door seeing Ben already flying out the doors with a few servants behind him. "Let's move!"
By the time they got down to the beach the sun had rose enough to show that it was nine bodies lay out on the beach here and there. Beast ran to a small girl turning her over as she coughed up water. She looked maybe ten at best, all dressed up as a magician.
One of her eyes were blacked. It looked like someone had hit her hard. She opened her eyes looking confused and out of it before she looked up at Adam for a long moment before it seemed like she recognized him.
"King Beast…?"
"Yes, yes, that's me," Beast looked over her feeling how cold she was before looking over at Ben who was trying to wake up Uma who was limp in his arms. Looking back down at the girl who looked like the whole world had it against her Adam tried to assure her. "You're going to be alright, just hang on,"
"I need to know… please tell me.." She whispered eyes growing foggy. "Tell me what I did…?"
"What do you mean?" KIng Beast asked confused. "What's your name, child?"
"My name is Freddie Facilier," She whispered. "Tell me what did I do…?"
"I don't understand,"
"Did I do something so horrible… in the future…?" Freddie whispered as her eyes slowly glazed over as her breathing slowed. "That you put me in a prison before I was even born…?"
Adam had no words for what she said when suddenly she went limp. He didn't have to check. Her lifeless eyes were clear enough for anyone to see that she died believing that she had been born to be evil because of who her Father was, therefore, she was locked away as punishment just for who her parent was and of course, she was right.
"Get them to the hospital!" Ben called out as he carried Uma's limp body passed his Father. "Hurry before it's too late!"
"Sir, this boy's dead!"
"This girl is dead as well!"
"This one's losing a lot of blood, I need something to stop it!"
It passed like a blur as they struggled to get the living back to the hospital. It had been determined most o the kids had been out there for hours until they were spotted. Uma had been out for an hour or so meaning she had succumbed from exhaustion, magic and trying to save her family.
And there was no way to tell if anyone of them would survive the next twenty four-hours
