Sorry for the delay in updates guys. I know this chapter isn't very long but I hit a little writers block with this. Hope you like the new chapter x
Ben was beyond angry with Chad. He couldn't believe the blonde had attacked Mal in the worst possible way then after she left pretended to be a friend to Ben, acting as if he had done nothing wrong and was a clueless as the rest of them. From his place on top of Chad, Ben easily gained the upper hand and began punching Chad as hard as he could. Bree knew that if someone didn't stop her brother he would kill the blonde but the only person who had a chance of stopping him was currently too distraught to let Ben near her. Malice simply stood there smirking as the King punched the blonde.
None of them knew how much time had gone by but as Mal began calming down a little Bree noticed Chad was no longer trying to block Ben's punches. But a familiar voice stopped everyone, except Ben, in their tracks. "What is going on in here!? Ben, stop!" The former Queen Belle shouted from her place behind Malice. Mal, Malice and Bree turned to find both Belle and Audrey stood there looking confused. The tanned brunette rushed towards Bree and Mal, wrapping her arms around the purplette. The only one who seemed unaffected by Belle and Audrey's appearance was Ben who refused to stop punching Chad, causing his mother to try and pull him off of the blonde.
"What's going on?" Audrey questioned, confused by Ben's anger and violence.
With a sigh Bree turned to look as Audrey as her mother finally succeeded in pulling Ben off of Chad, not that he really deserved saving in her book. "Chad is the one who hurt Mal. He's the reason she left." The brunette explained, causing Audrey's hardened gaze to turn to Chad.
What no one noticed was the other presence in the room, until they heard a small gasp. All eyes turned to the three year old who walked into the room with hatred in her eyes. Even at three years old she understood this blonde had hurt her mom and that didn't sit well with the toddler. "You hurt my mommy." She stated. Everyone could heard the young girls anger. Although they didn't expect what happened next. A magical wave emanated from the toddler and blasted the blonde into the wall behind him, knocking him out instantly.
"Belle, come here sweetie." Mal called out to her daughter. She smiled gently as the toddler ran to her, wrapping her arms around her mother's neck tightly. Bree and Audrey noticed Mal immediately relax once her daughter was in her arms. "Ben." Mal said gently, causing the King to turn to his girlfriend. She didn't say another word she simply extended her arms. Without a second thought Ben rushed over and wrapped Mal and Belle in a tight embrace, Bree and Audrey releasing the purplette as he did so.
"I'll go and send everyone home and get some guards to lock up Chad." The brunette former Queen stated, sending a sad smile to the purplette.
It wasn't long before two guards were escorting a now awake Chad from the room. It took both Bree and Audrey to hold Malice back, the blonde/purple haired man wanting to pick up where Ben had finished. Everyone hugged Mal as she left the library with Ben and her daughter. All of them understanding that she needed her space right now. They just hoped Mal would be okay. "Mommy, can I stay with you tonight?" Little Belle asked as they climbed the stairs.
With a small smile Mal kissed her daughters forehead. "Of course you can sweetie." She responded. It was then that she turned to Ben. "Will you stay as well, please? I feel safer with you here." The purplette explained. Ben nodded without a second thought. Once the trio were ready for bed they all met in Mal's bedroom, climbing into bed exhausted. Mal laid in the middle of her bed with her daughter in front of her and her boyfriend behind her. She hadn't felt as safe as she did in that moment for four years. She just hoped that if the DNA test proved Chad was Belle's father Ben didn't leave her. She couldn't bare the thought of losing him again.
