The Kindness Within

Chapter 4: The Truth of Ben's Heart

Once upon a time in a country named Auradon, in the district of Ulstead, far far away from here, there was a beautiful Princess.

This Princess was named Auraline, born to King Philip and Queen Aurora.

Auraline was certainly a very beautiful girl, with a slight tan on her skin, chocolate brown hair and her deep brown eyes.

Yes, Princess Auraline possessed a beauty that rivalled that of her mother.

Her mother was proud, and very certain Auraline would become the most beautiful Queen of Ulstead Auradon had ever seen.

The whole subkingdom of Ulstead loved Auraline.

Everyone but one person: her sister Audrey.

Audrey was jealous. Just because Auraline was a bit prettier than she was.

Auraline had everything: a good future, good-looking Princes fighting for her hand and all the support she would need to rule.

But Auraline wasn't truly happy.

Every time she'd look out of her bedroom window, she saw the Isle of the Lost, and felt guilty about the children who had to live there, just because their parent was evil.

Auraline wanted a change, but she felt like she was the only one.

New POV

Mal's POV:

I was still a little bit dwelling over the facts I'd just seen and heard.

Aura's boyfriend, Prince Ben, was absolutely handsome, kind and gentle. He had been showing his love for Aura like he already knew he'd be marrying her in the future.

And Aura... was a Queen.

I still don't know of which district, and who her parents are, but I think we'll find out later on.

Either on ourselves or when Aura tells us.

We walked towards the entrance of the school, passing a huge statue.

Ben clapped in his hands, and the statue morphed from man to beast.

"AAAAAAHHHH!" Carlos screamed, jumping backwards into Jay's arms.

I had to laugh a bit. Carlos is still a little bit afraid for things like this.

"Carlos, it's okay. It's just that my dad wanted his statue to morph from man to beast, to show that anything is possible." Ben said on a shushing tone.

"Does he shred much?" I asked, while looking at the statue, then I looked at Ben and Aura.

"Mom doesn't let him on the couch." Ben replied with a smile.

I gave him a questioning look.

Aura just rolled her eyes.

Then we started to walk into the school.

The hall we entered was all covered in dark brown wood.

"Your rooms will be that way." Aura said, pointing to her right. "Evie, you'll be sleeping in my old room, to get the Princess feeling. I'll room with Mal. And Jay, Carlos, you two are rooming together as well."

Great... I'm rooming with Aura for the rest of this year.

"I guess I'll see you later?" Ben asked, looking at Aura.

"For sure. Meeting out on the fields?" Aura asked.

"No problem." Ben replied and left.

"Follow me." Aura said and walked us to our rooms.

The boys' room was pretty dark because of the dark blue curtains, but the room itself had very neutral colours.

Aura's old room, which is now Evie's room, was light blue. It was a little too light for my liking, but Evie apparently loved it.

"Feel welcome, see you tomorrow." Aura said as she closed the door.

Both of us walked to the room at the end of the corridor.

I opened the doors, just to be greeted by an explosion of extreme light pink colours.

"So aweful." was all I could bring out.

"It's gross." Aura confirmed.

"Have you changed so much?" I asked.

"I never really liked pink, it's not my colour." Aura said and walked over to the dark wooden closet, opening it's doors.

There were a lot of dresses hanging in there, short ones, long ones, strapless and long sleeves, al sorts you can imagine.

"I see I have to buy a pair of new shoes for tomorrow." Aura said, taking out a short dress with a white lace top with very light blue see-trough fabric, a light blue cotton band and a very light blue tulle skirt. "I see you later today, Mal. Bye."

Aura hang the dress on the doorknob of her closet and left.

"Bye." Mal said as Aura left the room.

Ben looked to the forest next to the school yards, playing with the replica of his ring.

He was utterly confused.

He had always loved Aura with his whole heart, and his heart still belonged to her.

Yet the new girl, Mal, brought out the wild Beast that was locked inside him.

Ben was afraid of the Beast, afraid of hurting someone, afraid of breaking Aura's heart, the fear everyone would turn against him and that he could never have a happy ending.

"Ben?" the most lovely melodic voice around the school asked. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Ben replied, looking up to see Aura's worried face.

Aura sat down next to Ben and took his hands. "Ben, I can see something's wrong. You're confused about something. About... your lovelife"

Ben sighed. "It's not that I don't love you, I love you with my whole heart and I've done that since we started our whole relationship. But... when I looked at Mal, my beastly side nearly showed up. And... I'm afraid it'll take control!"

Aura just smiled and kissed his cheek. "I understand."

Ben looked at her with a questioning face. "You do?"

"Yes. Your heart and mind are still choosing me as your girl, but the beastly side of you wants another." Aura replied.

"I didn't think you'd ever understand." Ben said, looking pretty confused.

Aura laughed for a brief moment. "Don't underestimate me, my Prince. Maybe, we could try with three."

"You want to let Mal get involved in our relationship? Like in a threesome?" Ben asked, looking a bit horrified.

"Don't look at me like that! Ben, you're a Prince, a King-to-be. I don't think Mal would really mind as long as there's honesty." Aura told.

"But... how about my parents? And the other Royals? They're all so..." Ben began.

"... old-fashioned?" Aura finished.

Ben nodded.

"We'll have to explain it to your parents first before mine. Your father might help us with everything, he knows that both sides of you need to be satisfied." Aura told.

"That's actually not such a bad idea." Ben said, a smile appearing on his face before kissing Aura on her lips. "You're the best girlfriend a boy could wish for."

Aura giggled. "Don't think I'll ever want another man touching me, but you."

"That could be arranged." Ben said, laying his arms around Aura's waist and pulled her closer.

And they kissed with a lot of passion.

Sorry for the wait, I've been very busy the last weeks because of my tests and assignments. I truly hate school.

Hope you liked the chapter! Please leave behind a review!
