Mal

I lay staring at my ceiling, pondering many things in my mind. I wish I could tell Evie that I'm okay but I know that's not the truth. I'm heartbroken, devastated and lonely. I never knew how much I actually cared for Ben until know. I hope Evie comes soon I need a girl to talk to. Just moments after thinking that Evie runs into our room practically out of breath. I ask her what's wrong but she doesn't respond. She quickly shuts the door and locks it with both of the locks. I'm seriously freaking out now.

"Evie, can you please tell me what the heck is happening right now? I shout at my best friend.

Evie starts to open her mouth when some heavy pounding starts on our door. Who ever is pounding on our door is hitting it so hard I think it might break in half. Evie runs up to me and tells me to stay behind her, no matter what. Within moments, the door actually falls down and an infuriated Ben walks through the door. I grip Evie's hand so hard I think I might pop a blood vessel. I'm so afraid and vulnerable. I've never felt vulnerable before in my life but I guess there's a first time for everything. His words literally make me jump.

"So you think you could poison my father and get away with it Mal? Did you really think I wouldn't find out sooner or later that you actually went though with your plan? Mal, I'm not stupid!"

Ben

I continue to stare at Mal. She starts going into hysterics. Tears are streaming down her face now and she is trying to tell me she never poisoned my father. She is so pathetic. You'd think someone of her type would at least confess to their crime. I didn't come here to yell at Mal and make her cry. I came here to make her pay. I move forward towards the shaking girls. I tell Evie to get out of my way.

She yells back at me, "Over my dead body!"

Why does Evie continue to protect Mal, doesn't she realize how evil Mal really is. Since she won't move, I'll just have to move her myself. I step forward and grab Evie's arm and throw her to the other side of the room. I hear her body hit the wall and fall on the floor. She lays there on the ground unconscious. Good now she can't get in my way. I'm sorry Doug but your girlfriend just wouldn't get out of my way.

I quickly grab Mal before she can even think about escaping. This girl has been a horrible influence to every person she has gotten to know and it's time to put a stop to it before anything else happens. I pick Mal up and push her up against the wall. I grab her throat and look into her eyes. It makes me sick that at one point I had lived her eyes. The way they looked when she was happy. They were so mesmerizing and beautiful. I can't believe I foolish I was to actually think she wanted to be with me.

It's time to get some answers. I ask Mal how she did it. How did she manage to sneak away during the party last night. Did she actually care about me or even her friends. I continue to ask her but the only words she says are "I didn't do it." That's a big fat lie and I know it. I start to squeeze her tighter and I can feel her gasping for air. Just then my mom, fairy godmother and Doug show up.

They all yell at me to put her down. Don't they know they can't control me. I'm the King now. I furiously tell them, "I'm the King, you can't tell me what to do and if any of you come closer she won't be able to breathe anymore."

I look into Mal's eyes once more and four words barely slip from her mouth.

"I love you, Ben."

I feel that force start to consume me again but this time I feel it leaving me instead of entering me. All of my bad thoughts about Mal leave my mind and all of our wonderful memories flood back in. I feel something clammy under my hand and I open my eyes. I'm choking Mal. I quickly let go of her. She drops to the ground and starts sputtering and gasping for air.

I feel my head start to get light-headed and dizzy and I fall to the ground. Right before I lose consciousness I look at Mal and whisper back, "I love you too."
