I don't own Ben 10
Chapter 6:
Unwelcome guest:
"Ok Ben now tells me exactly what's going on and don't leave any thing important out" said Grandpa Max. They were all in the RV on there way to the town where they had met the old woman who had given them there two books. Charmcaster was in Ben and Gwen's room, still bound by Bens spell she could do nothing but glare every time one of the group stopped in to see if the spell was holding, they'd taken her bag of tricks gust incase the spell failed. Ben Quickly told Grandpa Max how he'd found out about being able to do magic and all the things leading up to the resent alien attack on the bank he avoided saying how he'd found out that Gwen wasn't his cozen or the fact that they were dating, He related the true happenings at the hotel with the aliens mate, how he'd sent it to the sun and then brought him back from the bunker Gwen had sent him too, he then told him about the Wizards Library and the old lady who gave them the two books. This interested Grandpa Max the most as far as he knew the wizards library was once a grate meeting place for all magic users, what the old lady had said distressed him though, "where are all the magic users there used to be hundreds but in the last ten years I've seen less and less of them, in fact the only ones I have seen recently are the ones in are family Hex and Charmcaster included" said Grandpa Max. Augh what a horrible thought, Charmcaster is part of the family and so is Hex, Ben was disgusted at the fact that Hex was his uncle and Charmcaster his cozen, the same went for Gwen and Grandpa Max they weren't to pleased with the two new additions to the family.
After two hours they arrived in the town, they drove to the ally where they had found the Wizards Library in. "This one Grandpa" said Ben and Gwen together; they all got out and went into the shop. It was empty not only was the old witch gone but so were all the books and every thing else in the building, the place looked like no one had been there in years. "This cant be we were hear this three hours ago and it was warm and cozy now it's barren and gives me the chills" said Gwen a shiver running down her back. Looking around noting his surroundings Grandpa Max spoke up "I don't think that old lady you met was still a member of the living kids I think she was holding on to her old life until she found someone to give her last possessions to". "You mean she was a ghost" said Ben with a slight falter in his voice. "Precisely I think that what ever has been happening to all the magic users got her and she came back to guard her last possessions" said Grandpa Max a note of triumph in his voice now he'd figured it out. "But that can't be true we saw her she was solid and so was everything else its just not possible" said Gwen. Grandpa Max went to the door, "Oh well possible or not we cant leave Charmcaster hear I guess she's coming with us for now until we can find a better solution" he said. They all headed to the RV. "So Grandpa what are we going to do now" said Ben as they getting into the RV. "I don't know Ben I don't know of any other magic places, we could always take her with us try to turn her to our side" said Grandpa Max trying to think and drive at the same time. "aw Grandpa I just found out that Gwen isn't my cozen and now you put me with another one that's not fair" said Ben trying to make light of the situation. "That reminds my Ben you didn't tell me how you found out that Gwen's not your cozen" said Grandpa Max turning to look at Ben and Gwen. "You too Gwen as far as I know none had told you either".
They both froze, Ben spoke first, "um well in the family birth records", Grandpa Max looked suspicious but accepted the explanation without comment, "and you he said turning to face Gwen more squarely". "I don't want to talk about it" she said, there were tears in her eyes and she turned and fled to the bathroom because Charmcaster was in the bedroom. "Why don't you go see what the problem is Ben I've got to drive", said Grandpa Max. Ben nodded and walked up to the bathroom door and knocked, "Gwen can I come in I'd like to know what's wrong" he said the concern showing in his voice, at first there was no response but after awhile the door unlocked and he went in locking the door behind him, Gwen was a site, eyes red and puffy from crying, "Gwen what's wrong" Ben said "pleas tell me it will make you fell better", she sunk to the floor putting her face in her hands not saying a word. Ben did the same sliding down next to her, he put his arm around her and lifted her head, he leaned forward and kissed her until her tears stopped and she wasn't sobbing. He then cradled her body in his arms looking into her eyes; "pleas Gwen tell me, I can see your surfing I love you to much to let something hurt you without trying to fix it".
"Ok Ben" these were the first words he'd herd her say since he came into the bathroom, "I'll tell you but you can't tell even Grandpa I trust you in everything". ""It was four years ago when we were thirteen, I was at home with mom and dad. I was in my room doing some research for my latest project and was listening to some soft music wile I worked, and then I heard my Mom and Dad arguing in the lounge down stairs. I crept out of my room and tiptoed down the stares I stopped by the door to the lounge and listened". "It's your fault!" it was my dads voice, "oh no its not how was I to know she'd turn out like this" came my moms voice. "Its your fault for being so barren we'd never have had to adopt the little know it all if you could produce", that was my father I didn't stay to listen to more but run silently back to my room and shut the door throwing myself onto my bed and crying myself to sleep"", Gwen stopped bursting into a fresh stream of crying boiling to the surface, it took ten minutes of hugs, kisses and continual comforting words before she'd talk again. "So that's how I found out" she said, "I'm sorry Gwen I didn't know" said Ben. "Thank you so much for listening" she said turning in his arms and wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply on the lips, after awhile they deepened the kiss Ben opening her mouth and battling toughs with her. "Ben Gwen what's going on in there"! It was Grandpa Max they hadn't felt the RV stop and quickly broke away, "Nothing Grandpa" Said Ben "were just talking" he lied looking at Gwen a sheepish grin on his face. She returned it wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Well get out hear its time for supper". They got up and went to the door unlocking it and going out into the mane part of the RV. "We've got a problem we have to feed Charmcaster but she's still under your immobility spell Ben and if you let her go she'll start throwing spells around" said Grandpa Max with a look of worry on his face. Ben thought it through and came to a conclusion "ok Grandpa I've got an idea" he said walking over to the kitchen table where he'd left his spell book. He sat down and paged through it Gwen and Grandpa Max staring at him. "Ah Found it" he exclaimed and got up, "Gwen be ready to cast a spell if this doesn't work" Ben said turning slightly as he walked to the bedroom. "What are you going to do Ben" she said a bit concerned. "Trust me" was all he said. They went into the bed room to find Charmcaster in the same place they'd left her. Ben looked down at the page and then lifted his arm "TIR QUET"he said the spell Charmcaster closed her eyes expecting something to happed but when nothing did she opened her eyes looking mockingly at him, he did not flinch but turned to Gwen, "Ok now I'm going to release the enchantment be ready" he said to her. "But Ben"! That was all she got out before he lifted his hand a second time "LERYA" he said freeing Charmcaster. She jumped to her feet nearly screaming her spell "FIR ATAN" they all froze.
