Okay, so here is chapter 10 of The Package. I hope you all enjoy it and please review. I have a question for you all though. Because I am almost done with The Package and I have the ideas for a sequel brewing in my mind, do you think I should continue on to this story through Descendants 2 or should I make and post a new story? Let me know what you think, and also what is the name of Prince Eric's kingdom? Anyway, enjoy.
Chapter 10
Ben was eating lunch silently with other royals, he left Rayner with Mal so than his son would not be in all the commotion that was happening. Out of the corner of his eye Ben saw Mal and her friends running towards the school.
"Mal!" Ben called out while standing up. Nothing came from his friends, they just kept running away. But wait, if theres Mal, where is Rayner? Ben looked at Bree. The twins ran in the direction of the picnic tables.
When they reached their destination Ben let go a large sigh of relief. Rayner was safe and sound, but he was with Chad. Ben felt his blood boil as he walked closer to Chad. Ben really wanted to punch Chad in the face, but he one hundred percent did not want to have his son see him loose his temper like that. "There you are Buddy, I'm so glad you're okay." Ben told the six month old.
Ben quickly passed Rayner to Bree and faced Chad. "Chad!" Ben shouted. "You had no right to take Rayner from Mal."
"I was just protecting our future king." Chad defended.
"You will stay away from my son, if I ever see you with him again, you will be sorry." Ben yelled, walking away to join the rest of his family.
"Rayner, I wish you could talk, than you could tell me why Mal and the others ran away." Ben said. Rayner said some some gibberish. "Thanks that helps a lot." Ben laughed.
Rayner was woken up early the next morning. He had a bath, got dressed, ate breakfast, and had people fussing over him, all before he got to see his dad once. Before the coronation was the coronation parade, the royal family rode in three different carriages. Rayner wasn't allowed to ride with Ben and Mal, so he sat in the carriage with his grandparents. Rayner sat between the two resting his head on his grandpas side, sleeping. Belle looked over at the infant and combed some hair off his forehead. He looked so peaceful.
"I think we were too hard on Ben." Belle said.
"What do you mean?" Adam asked.
"There's no way he could have controlled what had happened." Belle told her husband.
"Belle, it was decided that Ben would be in charge of them." Adam reminded.
"Look at it this way Adam, Ben is an amazing father to a handsome baby boy," Belle started. Adam nodded in agreement. "But, Rayner is only six months old, he can't make decisions for himself, and as his legal guardian, Ben is in charge of him. Those kids are fourteen to sixteen years old, they can make their own choices, not listen to everything Ben tells them." Belle finished.
"You're right, aren't you?" Adam questioned.
"You could say that," Belle replied.
"This is one of the reasons I married you." The two shared a smile. Upon arriving to the cathedral, Belle, Adam, and Rayner walked up the stairs and waited for the rest of the family to arrive. First Bree and Malice, and shortly after that Ben and Mal. Mal and Malice look at each other and then at Adam.
"About the other day, we just—" Mal started.
"I told Ben this wasn't going to be easy," Adam interrupted.
"You also taught me a has to believe in himself," Ben reminded. "Even when it isn't easy."
"I did?" Adam questioned. Belle gave him a tap on the arm. "How very wise of me,"
Belle passed Rayner to Bree before taking Ben's hands in hers. "Ben, we are very proud of you," Belle said. "You keep listening to your heart."
"Thanks, Mom," Ben thanked.
"Your going to make a fine king," Adam patted Ben on the shoulder.
"As your twin, I know your going to be an amazing king," Bree complemented. Ben took Rayner from his sister.
"Can you wish your dad some good luck?" Ben asked. Rayner mumbled gibberish. "I'll say that's good enough." Ben laughed. Ben gave Rayner to Belle as they were led off inside the cathedral. "Wish me luck," Ben said right before Mal was taken away.
Ben walked slowly up the stairs. Everyone looked over as the doors open to reveal Ben. As Ben finished his walk down the aisle, Fairy Godmother took the crown from Adam's head and placed it on Ben as he kneeled.
After getting her wand, Fairy Godmother started to address Ben and the crowd. "Do you solemnly swear to govern the peoples of Auradon with justice and mercy as long as you shall reign?"
"I do solemnly swear," Ben promised.
Fairy Godmother smiled and tapped Ben on the shoulders with her wand. "Then it is my honor and my joy to bless our new king—" Just as Fairy Godmother was finishing her little speech, the wand was snatched out of her hand. Everyone gasped and stood there in shock.
