Chapter Seven

Ben's POV

After successfully managing to come up with the best plan and calming Mal down until her powers have gone back under her control, which wasn't very easy to do and I'll probably need to get several new windows, chandeliers basically a whole redecoration of my quarters. I go to my parents's quarters to explain to them what we have come up with.

"This is impressive work Benjamin. I like the sound of this plan." My father smiles once I've explained this. "Jay figured out how to get into the castle for us. It's just a matter of them using these objects Mal has given them to contain the targets." I explain. "Son are you sure that these objects are safe and won't backfire?" He asks warningly. "I trust that Mal knew what she was doing when she made them. However, Mal's powers have been a bit haywire and that does worry me." I admit truthfully. "What do you mean by that? Ben why didn't you tell us this before?" My mother cries. "Mom it's only happened twice and we've managed to contain it. She doesn't understand it either, it scares her just as much as it does me and and her friends, in fact I believe they think this is my fault." I trail off remembering Jay yelling that to me when Mal's powers singed his eyebrows off! "I don't like this Benjamin." My father says warningly. "I trust her dad. That should be enough." I fold my arms knowing that for me, that is enough as I don't just trust her I love her and I will until the end of the universe.

Carlos's POV

After Ben leaves to give the plans to his parents me, Jane and Evie stay with Mal, upon his request which we would have done anyway. Jay however could not as he and Audrey are busy arguing about her going on this mission, which Jay does not approve of. Luckily for me Jane has already said she'd stay here so we haven't had to argue about that. "God tomorrow is going to be weird." Evie closes her eyes. "I bet, I'm sorry this had to happen Carlos." Jane leans into me. "It's fine, to be honest it was something I was expecting." I sigh as Mal suddenly gets up and races out of the room. We follow her to the bathroom where, much like yesterday she throws up. "Mal we need to get you to the nurse. This is getting serious now." Evie strokes her hair. "Wait till we get back, it's probably nothing serious Eves stop being dramatic." Mal tries to laugh, just as a door slams. "Mal? Mal are you here?" Ben calls for her. "In here." Evie answers for her. "Mal!" Ben cries worriedly as he sees her position. "I'm alright, don't worry." She groans. "You are not alright Mal!" Ben crouches down with the rest of us. "It's the lasting effect of your cooking apparently." Evie smirks. "Ohh my god I told you not to risk it. How long has this been going on?" Ben asks. "It's been on and off since the week you cooked, that's why I didn't eat yesterday." She explains. "Mal why didn't you tell me!" Ben exclaims. "We'll leave you pair to it." Jane pulls me to my feet dragging me forcibly to the door, I beckon for Evie to join us. "See you tomorrow." She murmurs to Mal before following us out. "I doubt she'll be coming back to the room." Evie rolls her eyes before disappearing down the corridor. "Carlos…" Jane looks at me. "What?" I ask. "About Mal, do you think she could be um…" Jane stops herself. "Mal could be what?" I query. "Doesn't matter. Forget what I said it was just a thought." She smiles before taking my hand and pulling me down the corridor.

Evie's POV

I awake next morning with the feeling of inescapable dread. Today is the day I capture my mom, the thought sending a wave a sadness throughout my body. Surprisingly I see Mal lounging on the bed in front of me. "Mal! I thought you'd be with Ben?" I smile kindly. "I just got in, I needed my clothes." She sighs. "I got a text last night Jay won that fight, Audrey's not coming and Jane isn't either. However both Chad and Doug are." I moan, pulling myself from the bed, walking toward my wardrobe pulling out the one and only outfit appropriate for this day. The outfit I arrived to Auradon in. I head into the bathroom to pull it on. Hanging my new mirror weapon from my belt and when I walk into the bathroom I see that Mal looks just the same and we share one last knowing look before heading for the door.

At the entrance to Auradon Prep is a car very much like the one we traveled here in. "Saved you a seat!" Doug calls from inside, patting the one by the window. "As have I." Chad grins, pointing to the one the other side. "I will sit in the middle." I roll my eyes at them, before turning to Mal. "Coming?" I ask. "No I'm going with Ben." She smiles sadly. "Ben gets his own car." Lonnie informs me. "Lucky tosser." I hear Jay mutter as he kisses Audrey goodbye. "I love you." She sniffs. "Love you to. I'll bring you back a souvenir." He smirks before getting in the car. "Carlos come on!" We call as he is busy making out with Jane. "See you later, I love you." Jane pulls away first. "I love you to." Carlos blows her a kiss as he jogs over. Leaving me feeling a pang of envy as a relationship like that is something I crave more than the world and I don't know if I'll ever get it.

Mal's POV

Ben and I get out own car for the journey to the place that used to be my home. Ben pulls the curtains across so I cannot see the army gathered in front of our car lead by Ben's father. Ben keeps reassuring me that everything will go to plan but a feeling I just cannot escape from tells me that it won't and that things are only going to get more complicated then they already are.

The journey to the Isle Of The Lost is very boring and nerve wracking. I feel sorry for Ben as I have his hand in a death like grip. "Mal it's going to be alright, you've got to believe that." He sighs, I rest my head in his shoulder. "What if my trapping devices backfire? My magic went out of control yesterday what happens if it happens whilst we're there? What if I hurt you!" I think of all the things that could possibly go wrong and it frightens the living hell out of me. "Mal, Mal! Calm down. You won't harm me and if you're magic does go out of control we can get it back under control. Trust me please." He strokes my arm. "I do trust you Ben, more than anyone in the world and if my magic does go out of control well it could have a positive affect on our capturing mission." I try to see a good side to this. "Haha! Yes that would be rather excellent!" He smiles just as we begin to enter the Isle Of The Lost.

The moment we enter the locals throw themselves at the moving vehicles. I grip Ben's hand. "Ready?" I look at him. "Than I'll ever be." He replies as I push the car door open, chucking my magic outwards at the people surrounding us, the others join us almost instantly as the locals I used to know are thrown away from us by guards of Auradon. "This way!" Jay yells as we all follow him down the streets of the town I used to love running down. I keep a tight hold of Ben's hand as we run. "I am so glad I chose to give you guys a second chance, how could anyone live here." Ben whispers. I turn my head to look at him. "Welcome to my wicked world Ben."

Jay locates the stall with the secret passage behind it easily. It resides behind a curtain next to one that is graffitied with a faint purple 'M' M for Mal and another of my works of art. 'Long live evil' I look away from that, my old life as I follow the others into the tunnel that once upon a time Jay, Evie and Carlos ran down laughing and giggling whilst making an absolute racket with metal pipes, the likes. What I never expected was to be running down them holding the hand of my boyfriend on my way to capture my parents in the name of good. We enter the castle. It's exactly the same as we left it. "Right we need to split up. I'll go get my mom, Eves, Carlos get yours and Jay your dad." I say. "We'll hold off the upcoming attack." Lonnie informs us. "Thank you." Carlos smiles gratefully. Ben releases my hand. "Ben what are you doing?" I cry. "Buying you guys time. It's not going to be long before they realize what's happening." He says calmly. "I can't just leave you." I plead. "Mal you have to. I'll find you alright? I love you." He kisses me one last time. "I love you to. Be careful though." I warn him before taking off, leaving my beloved behind.

I run up the stairs and down various corridors. I have no idea where my mother's lizard cage will be held. I don't know what happened to it. I race toward the old throne room where she would sit. Nothing, nothing at all. I am about to exit when the doors slam shut in front of me. I turn around yet nothing prepares me for what I see. "Mother." I whisper. "Hello my nasty little girl."
