Sooo this review I got in Saving Ben was literally gold and I couldn't sit here wallowing in pain, so I'm going to do this. Thank you Chaiilyfe for the prompt and I hope this story goes to your liking.

Prologue
The Vk's had just finished taking care of the reanimated suit of armor and the awkward aftermath of almost praising each others work, when they had just deducted that Audrey was most likely in her room due to summer school. As the sea three had pointed out, Uma had told Mal to do just that before she overrode her with her glorious plan of finding Ben first. The group had decided to split up between males and females to search for Ben and Audrey and ultimately make this whole ordeal a heck of a lot quicker.
Harry reluctantly agreed with the sudden arrangement of teams, as he didn't trust the two former VK's around his Captain but he knew that Uma could take care of herself. Despite his hate for Auradon, Harry had to admit that he wouldn't mind claiming this place for himself. Walking behind Jay, Carlos and Gil, Harry watched in disgust as Gil actually talked to them in a friendly manner. They were trekking through woods which was strangely odd and a little disconcerting as Harry preferred open skies and blue water.
"Harry, you should hear about Jay's adventures of trying to steal Fairy Godmother's wand!" Gil called happily as he plopped another berry in his mouth. At least one of them were enjoying their time in the great outdoors amongst the company of cowards.
"Soun's borin'." Harry retorted, trying to mentally tell Gil that he shouldn't be fraternizing with the enemy. But of course, the son of Gaston either didn't understand him or simply didn't care.
They resumed their earlier discussion as they traveled further into the woods. Harry trailed from a distance, swiping at the low branches that always seemed to find their way to his face with his hook. Carlos glanced back and had the audacity to cast a smug grin in his direction.
"Keep starin', an' ya might find my hook, in yer face." Harry warned as he whacked another branch out of the way. The dog lover decided to take his word of advice with a frown, and went back to following his talking dog. Yes, a talking dog. It was funny how of all the company here, Harry actually found the presence of Carlos' mutt the least annoying. Another branch found its way in front of his face and once again he slashed at it, becoming more frustrated with the trees of the forest than the guides.
At one point, a tree limb actually smacked him in the face. Wha' tha hail?! Rubbing his bruised pride more than the stinging in his face, Harry recognized something that he hadn't heard in awhile. Silence. Scrambling to his feet, he was more than alarmed that all three of the VK's, including the dog, were nowhere in sight. "Guys?" He eyed his whereabouts, the dismay slowly creeping on his face when no one popped out of the bushes to tell him it was just a joke. Great, ah jus' had tah be lost in this stupid fores'.
At least he could follow the footsteps and occasional pawprints left in the dirt and broken branches. But soon enough, even those tracks slowed up before he completely lost them. He was definitely lost. "Halloo?" Scratching the bottom of his chin, Harry came to a conclusion that if he continued to walk he would eventually find himself out of the forest. Besides, how huge could this place possibly be?
It had been a couple hours when Harry finally gave up and sat down on the ground. His feet were killing him and his endless thoughts of what he would say when he found the other VK's were slowly fading into the back of his mind. He took a quick look of his surroundings and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The trees seemed to be laughing at his predicament and the bushes seemed to have eyes on them... Wait.. Rising to his feet, Harry removed his sword from his belt and pointed it in the direction of the very suspicious bush. "Ah can see yuu."
What greeted him however, was not who he was expecting in the slightest. The big furry creature wearing Auradonian colors roared at him with such ferocity his hair flew out of his face. "Uh... King Ben?" It couldn't possibly be him but then anything was possible with magic.
King Beasty Boy, just growled at him, obviously he still thought he was a threat after his last encounter with him. Stomping towards Harry, the beast seemed to smirk at the fear that was spread throughout his face.
"Listen okay, ah'm 'ere tah help yu.. 'cause... y'know.. ya look kinda bad." Harry reasoned, shaking his head in pity.
Ben did not take that lightly at all, and actually seemed to be more enraged at his words.
"Ah meant, tha' yu look better than befor'..." Harry trailed realizing that maybe he should just keep his mouth shut for the time being. His only hope at this point was that Dude had Ben's scent and that they would eventually regroup. All he had to do was stay alive. Suddenly he screamed, pain coursing through his back and spreading across his body as he collapsed to the ground. Through his blurring vision, he saw what appeared to be the silhouette of pink heels before blacking out completely.
"Thanks Benny Boo! And as payment for your distraction," Audrey smiled sweetly as she turned her back to the unsuspecting beast and quickly jabbed a thorn in his hand, "now go!"
Ben roared in pain, his judgement clouded over as he attempted to attack Audrey who only laughed at his plight and blasted him into a nearby tree. Finished with the King of Auradon, Audrey brought her attention back to the unconscious pirate. "Why aren't you cute," Audrey cooed as she brushed his hair out of his face, "too bad you're a villain, now you're gonna tell me everything I need to know." With that she used Maleficent's wands magic to carry the VK back to her hideout.
Reviews would be lovely! Hopefully this story will be over before I go to college. I don't really write about Audrey, or at all in that matter, so in future chapters reviews for keeping all the characters IN character would be really helpful. Another special thanks to Chaiilyfe for the prompt.
