Ben, Mal and Evie had just finished showing Malice and Mav where the cafeteria was, since both Malia and Evan were too young to understand anyway, when they heard a familiar voice. "Not more of them!?" the trio couldn't help but cringe at that voice while Malice just looked confused by their reaction.
Turning their eyes all settled on Chad, the last person any of them wanted to see. "What are you doing here Chad?" Ben asked his former friend. He was getting sick of the way the blonde treated his girlfriend and her friends. "Shouldn't you be in class?" He questioned.
"I wanted to see if the rumours were true." He stated as he walked closer to the group. Mal and Evie instictively turned slightly so that Evan and Malia weren't as close to the blonde teen. Neither of them wanted their little siblings too close to him. "And obviously they are. What possessed you to invite more of them over, Ben!?" Chad exclaimed and the girls could see him getting more mad as he looked at the four new VK's. But what Ben and Malice noticed was the anger in his eyes.
"What I do is none of your concern, Chad." Ben stated, hoping that he would drop the subject. The prince knew things could turn bad but he was also aware that there were young kids around and he didn't want them to see that.
What no one expected was for another voice to echo down the corridor. "Back off, Chad." Mal couldn't help the smile that formed across her face as she looked over Chad's shoulder and found her room mate Bree walking their way. She had never been more happy to see the brunette since she got here, maybe Chad would actually leave them alone now.
But those hopes were quickly dashed as he turned to face Bree. "Or what!?" Chad shouted to the princess.
Mal would have kept watching but she noticed Malia flinch in her arms, causing her attention to divert to her little sister. What she didn't notice was that Bree also noticed this. "Don't push me." She warned and the look on her face was enough for him to second guess this. Chad and Bree stood staring at each other for a few minutes before the blonde wisely stormed off, muttering something about this not being over but none of them cared about that at the moment.
Once Chad turned the corner at the end of the corridor the brunette princess turned to face her brother and the VK's. As her brown eyes locked eyes with Malice's green ones she felt like her breath had left her body. His gaze was unfamiliar, yet oh so comforting to her. She couldn't tear her eyes away from him and found herself wanting to know who he was. It was obvious from the look of him that he was some relation to Mal but was he her older brother, younger brother, she just had to know. Unknown to her Malice was having a similar thought process, except he knew who she was. She was Princess Bree, twin sister of Prince Ben. But he wanted to know who she really was and not just know her by her title.
Their attention was gained by Ben as he cleared his throat, smiling at his sister as he recognised the look on her face. It was the same one he imagined he wore when he first met Mal. "I think some introductions might be helpful to my sister." Ben stated as Mal and Evie shared an intruiged look. Evie recognised the look on Bree and Malice's face immediately, it was the same look Ben and Mal had worn weeks previous when they had first met.
It didn't take long for Ben to introduce Malia, Mav and Evan but as Ben turned to Malice, Mal stepped in. "This is my twin brother, Malice. Malice this is Ben's twin sister Bree." The purplette introduced the pair, smirking as they shook hands and their eyes locked again. But both Ben and Mal knew their respective twin wasn't going to give in to their attraction easily, they would need numerous nudges towards each other.
Continuing their tour of the grounds, mostly for Malice's benefit, Evie pulled Ben aside with a sad look in her eyes. "Ben. I think it's probably better if Evan stays with Snow." She told him but the young prince could see how much this upset her.
"How about this." Ben said, giving the blunette a comforting look. "It's Wednesday now. Why don't I arrange with Fairy Godmother for you to do your work from your dorm, unless you have to go to lessons. If you feel like looking after Evan like that is too much I'll arrange for him to go to Snow at weekend. But why don't you give it a try first, yeah?" He offered and Evie gave him a broad smile as she nodded.
The group continued on their tour showing Malice everywhere he would need to know the location of. Ben them showed Mal and Evie their new room lay out and Malice his new room he would share with Mav and surprising the girls Ben. It didn't take long for the teens to finish their tour and for them to retire to their respective rooms, but there was two things on Mal's mind. First was how was she going to attend her lessons and look after Malia and the second was how was she going to explain this to Aurora and worse Queen Leah.
