For this big milestone (it being chapter 10) I decided to let one of YOU write this chapter! (Pinksakura271) They supplied every idea in this whole chapter. They didn't feel comfortable with writing the whole thing, which is totally and completely fine. So, this one's for you guys!

Almost every idea supplied by: pinksakura271

Warmth. Comfort. I can feel it for the first time in three days. Everything hurts, but I feel someone cradling me, my head resting against their chest. And I think I know who it is.

"B-Ben?" I whisper, my voice barely audible, even to myself. But I know he heard it since his pulse quickens and I can feel his eyes on me. I crack my lids, bright light filling my vision. The first thing I can see when my vision clears is Ben. His eyes are... red. Not crying red, but blood red. Though he does have tear streaks on his cheeks.

"Mal.." He sighs the words, like he had been holding his breath up until he said my name. He rests his head gently on top of mine, kissing it. "Tell me." He says, gently and forcefully at the same time.

"Ben..." I say. I don't want to burden him with all that I've been through, all that I've suffered.

"Tell me." He says sternly. And I know I have no choice.

"Okay. But... don't flip out..." I avert my eyes as I start the story. "We were freezing. It was raining and we were drenched by the time we made it to the cave. I volunteered to find us some blankets, but Evie didn't want me to go. I still went." I pause, taking a deep breath. "I walked around the city until I found a house with a broken window. I climbed in, scouted around, and decided that there wasn't anything useful. I heard a laugh as I was about to leave. A silhouette appeared in the doorway, and it was Harlem, Hans's son. He told me that he had loved me, even before I came back. I told him that I hate him, and he pushed me against the wall and kissed me. I tried to escape but I wasn't strong enough. I tried to bite his tongue, so he brought me into a room, tied me to a bed and.." I start to shake. "And he raped me. He knocked me out the first time... when I woke up, I was covered in bruises and cuts. He then did it again while I was awake. I kept trying to resist, but I couldn't get away. After the second time, he took off the restraints because he thought I liked it, and fell asleep. Then I crawled back here.." By the time I finish telling the story I am crying. The tears slow to a stop, and I finally find the courage to look up at Ben. I just realize how hard he is squeezing me. I see his face, his eyes looking down at me with possessiveness.

"Before you start yelling, I know that the darkness possessed you..." After hearing that, the dam holding his words back breaks.

"HOW DARE THAT PEASANT SCUM EVEN LOOK AT YOU!" He snarls. "MAL YOU ARE MINE!" The possessiveness and love almost drip from his words, and it honestly turns me on. I can tell he feels it too because he shifts my position from holding me like a baby to having me sitting in his lap, my legs wrapped around his hips. He then kisses me hard. I completely ignore my painful injuries for the pleasure that Ben is currently giving me. These are not like Harlem's kisses. Ben's are sweeter, filled with more love and less lust. Our lips disconnect and re connect quickly. He moves his lips to my neck, where he gently sucks and bites, being careful, knowing that I'm fragile. He grinds himself into me, which again, feels so much better than Harlem. For a few minutes, I am able to forget all that I've gone through, and all of the pain. I don't want him to stop, but my burning thirst and agonizing hunger make me stop him.

"I am seriously loving this... But I need some food and water. I haven't eaten or drank in three days." When he hears these words his eyes widen.

"He didn't even give you food or water." He clenches his fists, and they shake with anger. "THAT FUCKING DOUCHE!" He yells. I grab his arm, and he turns to look at me. "I-I'm sorry. Right. Food and water." He carefully lifts me off of his lap, and lies me on the ground. "Luckily we do have that." He walks over to a bag, and opens it, taking out a bottle of water and some granola bars. He opens the water bottle and places it in my hands. I lift the bottle to my dry mouth, and the water pours down my throat. I guzzle it down until there is not a drop left, and then eat three granola bars. I feel about twenty times better. The realization hits me that 1: Evie, Jay and Carlos aren't here and 2: that I'm still wet with blood and water.

"Where are Evie, Jay and Carlos?" I ask.

"They went back to your old house to get blankets and other supplies. And don't be worried. They each have a gun and knife, courtesy of Auradon. And they're together." He smiles at me, but I'm not convinced. I thought I was safe, and look what happened to me. But I was alone...

"Oh. Okay." I say, then shiver hard.

"Oh, you must be freezing!" Ben says. He takes off his jacket and drapes it over my shoulders, again putting me on his lap, my legs wrapped around him.

"Should we pick up where we left off?" His eyes are there normal beautiful color again.

~Evie~

"Should we pick up where we left off?" We hear Ben ask Mal as we continue to wait outside the cave. We have been here since Mal asked where we were. (ironic right)

"Why can't we go in again?" Jay whispers in a whiney voice.

"We don't know what they're doing in there." I reply sternly. I know guys are always up for live porn, but I don't think they want it to be from two of our best friends. But I have to go in and dress Mal's wounds before they get infected. I step into the cave with some annoyed looks from the two boys, and I swear that I heard Jay say 'lucky'. I find Mal sitting on Ben's lap, and they look like they were about to do some rated PG-13 stuff. Ben turns to me, his brown eyes shifting to a dark red. He holds Mal tight to his chest. I'm actually a bit scared.

"I-I need to dress Mal's wounds..." I say.

"Fine. But do anything to hurt my Mal and you die. I don't care if you are my friend." I nod, and Mal looks at me with a gleam in her eye. Ben takes her off his lap and places her on the ground. I take off the jacket that he obviously gave to her.

"Ben... I have to undress her... you might have to leave.." I say uneasily.

"I'm staying." He says. I look to Mal for her approval.

"He deserves it." She says. I take off her top, and see all of the damage he did to her. I take out the bandages, and start fixing her up. Ben is staring at her, but not just her breasts or anything. His eyes aren't filled with lust. He only looks protective as he stares at her. I finish, and put her top back on. She flinches slightly from the fabric rubbing against her skin. Ben catches it immediately.

"Are you okay?" He asks, concerned.

"I'm fine.." She says.

I pull off her pants, leaving her underwear on. But that has blood on it, and a tear along the top. Her legs are just as bad as her stomach. I bandage her up, and again put her pants on.

"Thank you Evie." She says to me.

"Any time, M." I say back as I leave the cave. I see Jay and Carlos sitting on some rocks, chatting.

"She's fine." I tell them. They both sigh in relief. I sit next to Carlos on his rock, and accidentally touch his wrist. I feel almost a zap. But it isn't bad... It feels... nice. I don't know what it is, and I don't really care. Mal is safe, and that us all that matters.
