tashasalvati:great story!
I have an idea for the next chapter what if Mal still has enough magic stored within her from Auradon to escape, and Belle and Beast send Ben to isle when he is sleeping so the magic thing possessing him can no longer do so and there he finds the gang just in time to see Mal stumble back all hurt, battered and emotionally and physically broken. Just an idea, and I really like your story, it's different.
Response: thank you for the ideas! This story is hard to write, considering how I don't pre write. I really liked your ideas, and I will be using them in this chapter!
~~~Belle~~~
"This is not like him." I state to my husband. "He is sedentary and mean, very strange."
"Maybe it's just stress. I'd say that he misses Mal..." He gets a sad expression. "But he sent them back to the isle..."
"You know... I think he made a mistake sending them back. He seems to regret it too." I get an idea. "Let's send him there for a day. Guarded of course, to see them, and maybe he'll invite them back."
"Good idea. Guards!" Two of our finest guards come rushing in, swords drawn.
"No need for those, boys. We have a job for you." I tell them
~~Ben~~
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" I scream into the oblivion of my head. I know it can hear me, and I know it's hovering just out of my reach.
"Auradon was supposed to be mine. I fought for it, pleaded, begged. Your father wasn't the first person to think of making Auradon, that was me. I would be a great king." He pauses as I fume. "Unlike your father. He brought those filthy islanders here who don't belong. You wanted to make one a queen! HA! Nonsense!" The voice shrieks with wicked laughter.
My 'eyes' open. Well, not mine anymore.
"Ben?" My mother. "We have a surprise for you!" She says. Oh boy.
"What is it." The voice says, annoyed. I see her face. He looks hurt, emotionally.
"Your father and I are sending you to the isle to see Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos to think about letting them come back."
"Fine." The voice says without emotion. "I'm just going to get it over with now."
"Ben..." My mother opens her mouth to say more, but no words come out.
"Mom..." I whisper. I can do nothing but watch as she leaves the room, head lowered.
"To the isle we go then!" The voice says. That's all it is. A voice. I should be able to overpower it, but I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't. That word seems to be trending here in my head. My arms pile clothes and other important items into a suitcase. The arms then pick up said suitcase and carry it out of my room, down the stairs and halls until finally reaching the front door.
"Bye." My voice says as I leave, reaching the limo and sitting in the back seat.
"Let's get there as soon as possible. I've got some people to see." The driver nods and takes his place behind the wheel, and steps on the gas.
When we finally make it to the border, the driver takes out the remote that creates a hole in the barrier and presses the button. I see the faintly glittering shield weaken to nothing, before we drive in. Reaching the 'mainland', the driver parks, and hands me my suitcase.
"Are you sure about not taking the guards?" Te driver asks me.
"Yup! Have a nice ride back." The voice says. The driver shrugs and steps back into the front seat, and drives away. Through the barrier. Back home. Suddenly, when the barrier closes behind him, something happens. I can move my arms and legs.
"Hello?" My mouth says the words I made it say. I guess since there is no magic in the island, the voice can't possess me. Okay. This is amazing, but I need to find Mal. I start to wander the streets. Careful to watch my back, I hold my possessions close. I come to the edge of the grimy island, which is covered in mud, rocks, and brambles. I decide that they wouldn't be here, and turn around to search somewhere else. As I turn around, I bump into someone.
"S-Sorry." I stutter, before looking up. "Evie?"
"Ben?" Evie says, the shock imminent in her features. "What are you doing here?"
"Long story. But..." I scratch the back of my neck, but my hand comes back covered in blood. "What the-" But before I can finish my sentence, Evie has sat me on a nearby rock and is examining my neck.
"Ben... there are... black... tentacles... or lines, coming out of one spot on your neck. It's bleeding a lot. What happened?" I can hear the worry in her voice.
"The thing that possessed Mal possessed me, and I'm guessing that since it can't control me on the isle, it's... coming out of me."
"Woa. Hold on. I have to get you inside so we can talk with Jay and Carlos." She says, helping me up and leading me through the brambles. A small cave forms, nearly invisible in all of the brush. She leads me in, where Carlos and Jay sit. Carlos looks up first. His expression turns from surprised to anger to confusion in record time. Jay looks up, but he just looks relieved. I still have one question though.
"Where's Mal?" All of their faces grow solemn.
"She went out to look for supplies yesterday, and didn't come back. We've been trying to look for her, but we just can't find her." Jay says.
"But we can focus on that later..." Carlos says. It makes me want to rip out his neck. Mal is my everything. I just want to go out and find her. I feel Evie come up behind me, bandaging the wound on my neck. "How did you get here?"
Carlos asks, so I tell him. I tell him and Jay and Evie everything that has happened.
"Now that that is cleared up..." I clear my throat. "Can we go find Mal?"
"Not yet. Night is falling. We set out at first light tomorrow." Jay says.
"Let's find Mal."
