A/N: Hey, there everybody! It's me, MBAV fan66!
So, this chapter is probably more of a filler chapter, since it's so short and all. Sorry about that. *looks down disappointingly* But hey! It's still an update, though! Which is better than no update, am I right? ;)
This one will mostly focus on Benny and how he's doing back at Alissa's castle. But there's still a bit of Ethan and the gang's departure from the Morgan castle, though at the end! :)
I just didn't want to get too far into their journey's beginning, just yet in this chapter because it'll fit more better in a separate chapter, rather than adding their first obstacle already in this chapter. I kind a want each obstacle to be it's own chapter, if you know what I mean. But every once in awhile I might throw in some "what's currently happening back at Alissa's castle" moments as the story progresses more on their journey. So, sort of like a checking up on how our favorite spell master is doing, kind of thing :) ...As well as checking up on Alissa, too. :/ Not that anybody really cares about her, though. :P
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this short chapter and it's small foreshadowing that it holds in it, as well. ;)

Bethan Forever- Yeah, hopefully she can! Lol! I mean, you can't come between true love, after all! And if Rosalie (his now ex-fiancee) can see the light and forgive him so easily (when she obviously has means to hate Benny's guts) and be happy for them, than why can't the King? Lol! Well, their first issue that they'll be facing will be happening in the next chapter! So, you can get excited for that one, my friend. If you want to, that is. Lol! :P But until then, enjoy the look-see into Benny's imprisonment and the gang's departure to save him! ;)

Dawn had soon broke, as it's warm golden light filtered in through a darken and cold room. With the arrival of the sun rising, a certain sleeping spell master had begun to stur from his slumber. He sat up and stretched with a mighty yawn, scratching his side absentmindedly. He looked out his only window to see the fiery morning sky and to hear birds chirping off in the distance. It was a pleasant morning to wake up to, as he smiled lazily at it.
But it was soon interrupted by the sound of the door being unlocked and a very unwelcomed person coming in through it. He then frowned at the sight of the person, with them being the last person he ever wanted to see first thing in the morning.
"Morning, sleeping beauty! Did you have a good night's rest? No doubt dreaming about your darling prince charming, am I right?" joked Alissa mockingly, as she smirked at Benny.
But the spell master just sat there glaring at her with hatred in his green eyes for her, in silence. Alissa shrugged nonchalantly, still smiling her wicked evil smile.
"Anyways, I've brought you breakfast. Here." she said, getting serious now. Alissa walked over to the table next to the bed and placed a tray of food down on it. "Eat up. I can't have you dead before our beloved prince shows up. Now can I?" she commented snidely.
Benny just stared down at it in disgust, but not just because it looked unappetizing, but because Alissa had made it. "There's no way in hell I'm eating that crap. It looks digusting. And besides..." he said, looking back up at her with an untrusting expression on his face. "How do I know that you didn't even poison it?" he stated skeptically, with a raised brow.
Alissa shrugged. "Fine! Whatever! Have it your way! Starve for all I care! I was just trying to be nice." she said, sounding offended. Benny had scoffed a 'yeah, right' with an eye roll, as she turned her back towards him. She stood there for a second before finally speaking again. "You know...your precious boyfriend is on his way, this very second as we speak, to rescue you." she said, saying the word boyfriend in disdain.
Benny looked at her with a confused expression for a minute, but when she turned around he noticed a small little glowing ball of light, floating in the palm of her hand. On closer expection, he then noticed an image in it. His eyes lit up with hope and delight at what he saw in it. It was Ethan and his friends, along with his grandman, here in Amaria! And from what it looks like, it seems as if they were setting out to somewhere. No doubtly to rescue him from Alissa.
Alissa saw the joy in his eyes and smirked. "I wouldn't be getting too excited if I were you." she remarked smugly, making the hologram disappear with a wave of her hand. "They'll have to make it through all of the perilous dangers that lie ahead before them, first before they can ever hope to make it here to face me." she stated sinisterly, grinning madly. "So, you see...they may not make it here alive to save you." she added cockingly.
Alissa laughed when she saw Benny's facial expression fall to one of surprise and then to an angry sneer. "You say that now, Alissa but you don't know my friends like I do. They'll take on any challenge and come out of it alive! You'll see! And once they get here, you'll be TOAST and nothing but a distant bad memory!" spat back Benny heatedly.
But Alissa didn't look too bothered by this. "I suppose you're right...Or you could be very wrong." she replied easily enough, acting as if she didn't really care that much. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But you can guarantee if they do by some chance make here to my castle then they won't be staying here for long." she added, grinning. "You see, I have a plan in place to see to it they don't make it out alive. Well...at least one of them won't be." implied Alissa ominously, before breaking out into an evil cackle.
Benny didn't even bother to flinch, as he just sat there glaring daggers at the back of her head while she left the room, still laughing and with a slam of the door. He continued to glare even when the door was closed for a minute longer, before finally letting out a breath that he didn't know he was holding at the time. This was not how he liked to spend his mornings. Being locked away and used as bait so an evil witch, with some crazy vendetta, can lure his boyfriend and loved ones here, just so she can get her revenge.
He looked back up towards the window once again and smiled a small smile. He knew that his friends and Ethan was on their way and that was enough keep his hopes alive. For he knew that they were gonna win against Alissa no matter what. They just had to because they were the good guys in this story. And the good guys always win.
But for some strange reason...Benny couldn't shake this feeling of dread and foreboding that he had suddenly got. He wasn't sure why, but...somehow he felt as if something horrible was gonna happen. And that worried the young spell master.
"Please, be safe you guys. I don't know why, but...I get the feeling that something bad might happen to you all. So, please make it here safely. I don't want to lose any of you." spoke Benny softly in concern.
He left out another sigh and then looked back over at the gruel that Alissa had left him. He grimaced at the sight of it, debating on whether or not to eat it. But then he felt and heard his tummy rumbling, as he self-consciously placed a hand over it to quiet it.
"Man! I really don't want to eat that stuff." he said to himself, frowning down upon his breakfast. "But I am really hungry, though..." he added, thinking about it some more. He reached for the spoon and scooped up some of the slop that was his breakfast, staring at it. Finally, making the decision to just eat it or at least try to choke down the stuff to hold off his hunger long enough.
When he placed it in his mouth, Benny was very surprised to find that it didn't really taste all that bad. "Huh. I guess it's true what they say. 'Don't judge a book by it's cover'." he said out loud, smiling. "Although...maybe that was a poor choice of words considering I'm trapped in one..." he added regrettfully, wincing slightly at thought of it.
So, with a shrug and brushing it off, Benny continued to eat his meal, all the while he awaited for his love (along with his grandma and friends) to come and resuce him.
Meanwhile, back at the castle...
Ethan, Rory, Erica, Evelyn, and Sarah were gathered at the castle's gates ready to make their departure. Jane and Rosalie as well were both there to see them off.
"Be safe out there, big brother. Without you around, I won't have anybody to annoy or embarrass anymore." said Jane sincerely, but with a bit of humor in her voice, as she gave him a big hug.
Ethan smiled and returned the hug. "Don't worry, my darling little sister. I shall return alive and well, so that I may do the same to you." he reassurred genuinely.
He stood up and faced Rosalie with a smile. "Yes. Please do make it back here alive, my prince." she then glanced at everybody. "All of you." she added with a smile. "And once you rescue your beloved Benny, please bring him back here. I would very much love to meet the man who stole my fiance's heart from me." she added jokingly, with a wink and a giggle.
Ethan laughed nervously at that, not sure if he wanted to even know how that conversation would go if his current love met up with his ex-fiancee just to "talk". There was clearly so many ways that, that little chat could go wrong in.
Everyone else behind him quietly laughed. Ethan's cheeks turned a bright red when he heard their laughter. "But please, take good care, my friends. Alissa is one crafty witch, who will do anything to get what she wants." advised Rosalie, once again.
"Thanks! And we will!" nodded Ethan, gratefully to her.
"Mom would've been here to see you off, but she wanted to try and convince father to change his stubborn and set in ways of thinking. She knows how much father's comments had hurt you. And she doesn't want our family to be broken over them." explained Jane to Ethan, looking down a bit ashamedly.
"It's alright, little sister! I understand! I know that I have mother's love and support, and that she wishes us well, as well." smiled Ethan, reassuringly.
Jane looked back up at him with a big small and the two hugged one last time, before the gang set out on their journey to Alissa's castle. With a quick check of the map and a wave good-bye to the two princesses, they all exited the castle's gates and out into the world that lies beyond the castle walls, as they first traveled through the town to get to the town's edge to begin their journey.
"Don't worry, Benny. We're on your way to come get you, my love." spoke Ethan softly to no one, as he gazed up at the sky, lingering slightly behind the others. He smiled at the thought of seeing his beloved Benny's face again because nothing was going to stop him from being with his one true love. Not his father. Nor any unforeseen dangers that may lie ahead. And especially...not Alissa.
"Ethan! Come on! Hurry up! You're starting to fall behind!" shouted Rory, anxiously.
Snapping out of it, Ethan hurriedly rushed to catch up to them with Amaria's Light secured onto his waist, along with a few other needed supplies, as well, tucked away in a bag. He had this look of detemination in his eyes, that burned just as brightly as the morning sun behind them.
A/N: And the journey begins! :D
Seems like Alissa's not too bad of a cook, huh? Lol! If only she could work on her presentation a bit to make it look more appealing, then things would be great. Or as great as being a her prisoner can be, that is. Lol! :P
But Benny's holding strong! He now knows that the others are here in Amaria and are on their way! So, three cheers for that! Hip-hip hooray! Hip-hip hooray! Hip-hip hooray! :D
I wonder what the gang's first obstacle will be? Stay tuned to find out, my lovely readers! ;)
Until next chapter, I'll be seeing you all around! Bye! :)
