Hey guys! I know I haven't updated in a while but I had writers block and lots of different stuff happen since December. I won't go into detail cause I doubt anyone cares. I want to make it clear to someone that Evie and Mal aren't died and that it was all Mal's dream. But anyways let's do this!

Ben's Pov

I saw the frying pan coming my way, but I couldn't move. My feet were frozen in fear as I brace for the impact. My heart started pounding as I saw him pull the frying pan above his head and smirked the most unethical smirk I've seen in my entire life. I relaxed a bit seeing someone jump in front of me, but that didn't last long.

"Don't hit him! Don't hit anyone here but me." It took me a few seconds to process who was talking and what they were saying, but when I did I felt useless. By the time I realized what was going on Mal was unconscious, her head in was laying in Jay's hands. My heart broke and eyes teared seeing her in this terrible condition.

However, this lasted about two seconds before a large, white flash covered my field of vision. Everyone instinctively shielded their eyes. A instant later the light stopped and all I saw were dots. After regaining my vision, I saw we were next to Auradon prep.

"B...b...Ben, w...w...where is the nearest h..hospital?" Evie asked me, her voice trembling as she spoke. It was very clear she has been crying, but I don't blame her. No one does.

"About a mile from here" I replied.

"What are we standing around for call 911" Jay interjected.

"I'm already a step ahead of you." Carlos said showing his phone, which had call on. "There on their way" he finished.

"How long will that take? We don't have all day." Jay complained.

"About 5 minutes"

15 minutes later

We watched as Mal was rolled away into the operating room. It was so tragic to see. Someone so happy and loving going through so much torture. I sit there praying and crying. I don't know what will happen if she doesn't make it. Tears started forming in my eyes as the image of her broken and bruised body started forming in my brain. Every little detail. I remember seeing her eyes, puffy and red from crying. The way she was breathing sharp but shallow breaths. How black and blue her face and body was.

I excused myself to the bathroom so no one saw me like this. I felt like for everyone's sake I had to stay strong. When I got to the bathroom, I broke down. Tears started to rolling down my cheeks like a waterfall, my chest was beginning to feel heavy and painful, my hands started trembling as I thought of the good times. When we first met, the coronation, our first date, our second date. Our second date. The thought of it reminds me of how this whole mess started.

I started thinking of why I loved her. Her attitude, her style, how unique she was, her kindness, her confidence, etc. She has to live! I started thinking of what would happen if she died. How sad everyone would be, how depressing everything will be, how everyone will tell me how everything happens for a reason, how she clearly wasn't the one.

I couldn't take it anymore, the emotions were to overwhelming. I had to leave. I snuck out of the bathroom, making sure no one could see me. When I was in the clear, I ran. I ran as fast as I could, going nowhere in particular, nowhere except away from there.

My legs started telling me to stop, but my mind was telling me to go. I felt like I could throw up. After about ten minutes of just running, my legs couldn't take anymore running and collapsed. I looked around and found myself in the forest at the waterfall.

I remember our first date, how happy and full of life we were. I look down in the water and saw my reflection. The only emotion I saw was sadness. How could I possibly be happy though? The woman I love is in the hospital in critical condition and it's all my fault. There is no reason to be happy. Suddenly my emotion went from sadness to fear and anger.

Anger coursed through my veins knowing how happy he was with hurting Mal. My temper started to escalate as I thought about it. He did all this knowing how much and suffering it could cause, yet he still did it. How is he even related to me?

Even though I was furious, I was also really scared. Scared that Mal wouldn't survive. Scared about how Evie is taking this. Scared of what Daniel is doing right know. Scared that he might strike back. Daniel is still out there ready to destroy.

I started to head back to the hospital. They have probably started worrying about me for a while with how long I've been gone. I couldn't help but wonder how the others were doing. I imagine Evie's not doing well at all. I imagine the same for Carlos and Jay. For Maleficent, I imagine she feels sad, but also really guilty. She could've gotten us out of that situation earlier Mal wouldn't be as bad as she is now, but she still would be pretty bad.

I started to feel really tired by the time I got back to the hospital. As soon as I walked into the waiting room, I started to wish I never left. As I walked up to Jay, Carlos, and Maleficent all walked up to me.

"Where have you been?" They all asked in unison.

"That's not important now. What's going on with Evie?" I look over at Evie. She was an emotional wreck. She was curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth, muttering words under her breath. She had red, puffy eye's, tear stains on her cheeks, and a fresh batch of tears rolling down her cheeks.

"She won't talk" Carlos said worry clear in his voice.

"How do you usually cheer her up?"

"We've already tried everything we know" Jay responded.

"Mal?" A deep male voice said. We all turned our heads to see the doctor standing across the room. Evie was already right in front of the doctor.

"I..i..is s..s..she ok, D...Doc?" She asked him with a mixture of worry and curiousness at the same time.

"Mal's..."

That's it for today guys. I know it seems a little rushed but I was really looking forward to getting another chapter done. Like I said earlier I had a case of writers block and I want to thank Stardust16 and Winter Frost22 for helping me with it. Please tell me if you liked this chapter or not, I would greatly appreciate it. Well, there's not much more to say except have a great day!

Bye Loves,
