Life After Coronation

by forevermusicalfan

After Ben's coronation something happens to Mal; it results in her having to leave Auradon. She will, however, not be left alone to go through everything. When she returns to Auradon something has changed about her, and everyone knows it; what they do not know is that Mal is now more powerful than ever and that she is carrying something that proves to be important to Ben and her.

7. Chapter 5 part 2

11 days after coronation

Ben's point of view

Why is my body so tired today, I mean like really tired and I'm naked, like what the hell. I turn onto my side and notice a feather on my bed. I pick it up and sit up. It is actually a quiet beautiful feather; it is so light in its colour, kind of purplish with a hint of cream in it. How did it get in here? I place the feather in a drawer in my bedside table and gets out of bed; I put on my sleeping pants and walk to the bathroom because I really need a shower I feel all sticky and I have sweat a lot during the night. As I remove my pants I notice there are some marks on my shoulders, they look like someone had their claws planted in them. What the hell has happened to me? I let my fingers run over the marks…. it was Mal, she was here last night, I remember her sitting on the bed when I woke up. That is where the feather is from; it must have fallen from her wing when we … oh ….. my …. God! We made love, not just that but I claimed her; the beast in me came out and claimed her. This is not good; if something happens to her it will happen to me as well. I have to find her. I walk to my closet and puts some clothe on forgetting about the bath and run to my dad. I am almost at his room when I remember that he and Fairy Godmother have been making me forget; I cannot tell him that Mal was here and I cannot tell him that I know the truth. I change direction and run to the kitchen instead. I grab some fruit and run to the garage; I need to find her. I get in my car that my parents got me when I turned 16; I haven't driven it yet, but it seems like the fastest way to find her. I drive to the gate where a guard stops me and checks my ID.

"Your majesty, you are leaving on your own today?"

"Yeah I'm just going on a morning ride, I'll be back soon" The guard nods and opens the gate for me; I drive out and speed down the road. Where could she be? I need to find her before something happens to her or me. I drive around for two hours without any luck and returns home to the palace; as I drive through the gate and towards the castle I see my dad standing by the front door "crap" I park the car and get out. "Hey dad"

"Ben it is 12 now, you have been responsibilities now that you can not just ignore" he puts a hand on my shoulder "Aurora called me and told me that her soldiers have looked through the Moors and there were no sign of Mal or your mom there." I nod listening to him trying not to show him that I know the truth.

"Well it is one less place to search then" I start walking up the steps towards the castle when I suddenly feel myself losing the feeling in my legs, I fall to my knees and hear my dad yell my name; then everything turns black.
