Chapter Eight: Ben's Secret
I had successfully managed to travel though the halls unnoticed by anyone that was until I turned into a corner where Ben, Alice and Henry all stood in quiet banter. Whispers and murmurs was what I normally would have heard but I wasn't the same woman I was a month ago.
"How could you do this? Look what has happened to you!" Alice whispered her voice low but angry.
"There's nothing wrong with me—"
"You're a monster! What's your wife, the person you married going to think when she finds out what you are?" Alice now seemed to scream slurring the middle phrase.
"It's not like she can judge me" he bit back; I couldn't see his expression as I hide behind the corner but I could tell he knew something.
"I agree with Alice, you can't become king like that. The royals will kill you! Do you have any idea what the king is going to do when he finds out his daughter married you, the very thing that has tried to get their family killed for more then 100 centuries" Henry added his voice outraged.
"If he kills me he'll have to kill Amy" Ben responded and I could almost hear the annoyance in his voice just as much as I could see his eye-roll.
Do something before he tells them! My mind screamed furiously trying to think of an idea.
"What are you three talking about?" I asked before my mind could stop me as I revealed myself from behind the corner.
DAMN IT!
"Henry, Alice, Ben darling" I said batting my eyelashes seeing them all turn towards me. "Oh I'm sorry about that dear you just caught me by surprise" I added gesturing towards his perfectly healed lip.
"Princess Amy" both Henry and Alice responded with phony smiles as they bowed.
"We'll talk later" Alice stated giving Ben a glare and sending me a halfhearted smile before practically dragging Henry with her.
"I could hear you" he responded sneering down at me before roughly taking my arm and lending us the opposite way Alice and Henry had gone.
"Your hurting my arm!" I complained trying to take my arm out of his grasp only he tightened his hold causing me to cringe. I could already feel a bruise start to form where his hand held my arm and I almost wanted to scream yet he shoved me into a room before I had a chance.
"Filth!" I shrieked rubbing the greenish purple bruise that now formed on the upper part of my arm.
"Don't call me that you hypocrite when your bearing the child of the Prince of Filth himself" he sneered staring down at me.
"I-I d-don't k-know what you're talking about" I stuttered cursing my horrible way of lying.
"Don't lie" Ben stated taking my arm on his hands and gently rubbing the bruised skin. "Sorry about that, I still don't know my own strength." The normal reassurance and security I felt when his hand touched me was gone replaced with something else, an emotion I didn't like.
"When I made the deal with them I didn't expect to find you with child" Ben whispered so light that I had to strain my hearing to possibly be able to hear it.
"Deal with who?" I asked ripping my arm out of his hold and stepping away from him.
I knew it was a stupid question but I couldn't help wanting it to be false. It had to be false! I needed it to be false because if it wasn't another man died in place of the real traitor.
"Timothy—"
"Was just a distracting" Ben stated an unpleasant sneer appearing on his pale, yet seemingly handsome face. "He found out want I planed to do just days before our marriage and I couldn't have him ruin us"
"No Timothy was a traitor" I responded refusing to believe what was right in front of me. He had to be a traitor or then his title of traitor was false but worse then that his punishment wasn't his to have.
"Then explain why—"
"I needed you to be gone so I could get all the arrangements ready, my transformation, my thirst under control expect the deal was broken when I found out that the king planned on making you his meal. I had to rescue you before that happened so I told the pathetic fool you call a father that they were going to kill you and he let me take the top skilled men and go find you"
"So that's how everyone immediately knew I where I was and in which room. You planned a break in when you were transformed and your thirst was kept in check but the king betrayed you and told you I was going to be his next meal"
"So it seems I married a genius" Ben sneered at me "I had to stay in the carriage because if anything went wrong the king or some else could have exposed me."
"You were afraid of being caught when I, your wife was trapped in there!" I stated outraged.
"I'm not the only guilty one, I hadn't expected you to turn into a whore a get impregnated so remember if I go down, you go down with me" he said harshly grabbing my hair and whispering into my ear before leaving.
It had probably been hours since I was told that information and I still sat in the darkroom unmoving and heartbroken.
My cousin, my dear, dear cousin died in vain. He was blamed and killed for something he tried to stop!
"Amy I would never do this, Ben he's a—" Timothy's voice rang around the air; it was hard to tell if it was really a voice or just a figment of my imagination.
"He tried to tell me!" I stated waiting for the tears to fall yet they never did.
I waited for sadness and depression yet all that arose was rage and hatred all towards one person. Benjamin Boykawich.
"Your dead" was the last thing I said before going to find Ricky, Ashley, Madison and Lauren.
