17. We have a big problem!
Mal's P.O.V:
"Ben!" A couple of palace employees looked at me grumpily and with raised eyebrows since I didn't behave like a queen by screaming through half the hall here, but we were having completely different problems. The wall had to be restored immediately! Otherwise, the villains would be free and Auradon and all of us in danger! Carlos, Jay, and Evie ran behind me and my eyes rested briefly on the boy with the black and white hair, who immediately rolled his eyes.
"I'm fine, Mal. Now, quickly to Ben!" I knew we had to be careful. We didn't need another fit. Because I still didn't know what to do then. But Carlos was right. We had to go to Ben first. Without knocking, I opened the door to his study and the young king winced.
"Mal, what was that all about?", he asked in horror when he recovered a little from his shock. As always when I looked into his eyes, my heart beat a little faster. I never expected to fall in love. But I immediately concentrated on the reason why I was here.
"We have a big problem!", Jay replied instead of me and seemed quite concerned. Ben's expression changed instantly.
"What happened?" I looked briefly at my friends. Jay looked rather worried while Carlos held Evie in her arms, who looked completely confused and finished. Carlos himself looked unsettled and a little confused. About the way, I felt, but I would never show it. I turned back to Ben.
"We just got out of the museum. And that's where we met Harry." Ben stared at me wide-eyed before getting up and coming up to us. He knew Harry from the island and knew how dangerous he was.
"How can that be?" Ben looked totally confused and seemed to be thinking about how Harry got here. But he still didn't know we had a much bigger problem. My stomach contracted at the thought of it.
"It doesn't matter, Ben! He managed to get the wand! The magic wall around the island has been destroyed! The evil magic is free now!" Ben stared at me stunned.
"Do you mean that seriously?" Did he seriously think I was joking about it? Anger spread through me, but I tried to stay calm.
"As if I'm joking about it! We have to do something right now!" Ben paced the room, then picked up his phone.
"Send the Fairy Godmother here! As soon as possible!" Then he looked at us again. "Where's Harry now?" I shrugged my shoulders.
"The guards took him away." Ben wiped his face.
"Okay, we'll get there." He looked at us again. "Thank you. You should take a little rest." His eyes fell on Carlos and again everything contracted in me. I would probably have to keep thinking about it now and be reminded that he was going to die soon. Of course, Carlos also knew who Ben was referring to and he sighed loudly.
"Guys, I'm sick, but you don't have to worry all the time. I can decide when it's enough." Jay put a hand on Carlos' shoulder.
"Alright. But you never say anything and continue anyway, even though you shouldn't." Carlos groaned in annoyance, but he also knew that he needed a lot of rest and the many races hadn't been good either. Evie squeezed his hand and I had to suppress a smile when I saw the two of them together. They had known each other for a long time and Carlos had always been one of Evie's most important caregivers.
"I'm coming with you, okay? And you're going to sleep!" I grinned when I heard Evie's commanding voice, which didn't really fit the petite, lovely girl in front of me. Ben nodded in agreement.
"We'll find a solution. Don't worry."
