Uh oh! Mal has got herself into a lot of trouble, hasn't she? Is Ben going to be able to get to her in time? What is Brad and Uma's plan? Read and find out! MWAH! Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.

*Ben's POV*

"Where are you going?" I asked after we had hidden the limousine under a drape just next to the exit of the Isle.

"We need to hide" Harry muttered as he turned and threw a look of disbelief in our direction.

"No!" I spat.

"We need to go to Mal" I advised.

"Ben" Harry said as he stepped towards me.

"Your Majesty!" I snarled as I balled my fist up. I couldn't believe this! Harry said that he would take me to Mal; instead he wanted me to hide. This definitely sounded like a scheme and I couldn't believe that I let myself get dragged into it.

"Yes that" Harry dismissed as he shrugged.

"If you listen to me for one moment please" he said sincerely.

"We need to hide and get resources" he stated as he stepped towards me.

"We are going to need swords; Uma and Brad aren't going to give Mal back just because you said so" he added as he pursed his lips together.

"He's right" Jay agreed solemnly.

"Fine!" I sighed.

"Just be quick" I snapped.

"Of course" Harry nodded.

"Down here" he stated as he nodded in the direction of a dark alley way behind him. He then turned and walked down the dark alley way and we all quickly followed; with me hoping that I hadn't just made a massive mistake in trusting Harry Hook.

"Where are we?" I asked as I looked around a dirty and dusty living room of a house.

"Erm" Harry said as he walked fully into the room.

"Nowhere important" he dismissed and I looked around again and I noticed the familiar 'Evil Lives' spray paintings on the walls.

"Mal has been here" I noted.

"That would be correct" Harry confirmed as he turned and looked at me. I then felt my stomach churn as I realised where we were; we were in Mal and Harry's hideaway. And I knew what had happened between them and I didn't want to think about the pair of them being like that.

"Your Majesty" he said as he bowed to me before he dropped to the floor and he started to pull up broken and paint chipped floor boards.

"Evie knows where we are" he stated.

"Don't you?" he added as he looked up at Evie.

"Yes" she confirmed and I watched as both Jay and Carlos both threw a stern look at Evie.

"Boys don't be too mad at me; this was Mal's news to tell" Evie replied.

"She made me promise not to tell anyone" she advised.

"Well I will be having a word with her when I see her" Jay stated as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"If we see her!" I spat as I angrily sighed.

"This is taking too long" I whined.

"Don't worry" Harry said as he looked up at me.

"The ship isn't that far" he explained before he looked down and he smiled as he found what he was looking for.

"Yes!" he exclaimed.

"What?" I asked and I saw as Harry pulled out a large wooden box up from underneath the floor boards.

"I've been planning for something like this" he advised as he also pulled out a large dark brown backpack.

"What's what for?" I asked as I watched as he flung it onto a nearby couch.

"For my move" he stated as he stood up slowly. For his move? Did he think that after all this we would just take him back to Auradon with us? Then as an afterthought that this is what I owed him; if we saved Mal then I couldn't deny that he had earned the right to a second chance.

"Come on!" he said incredulously as he looked at us all in disbelief.

"You can't just leave me here after this" he stressed.

"You know what they do to traitors" he pressed as he threw Carlos, Evie and Jay a look and I saw that they all pursed their lips together and looked down to the ground.

"What?" I asked them. Carlos then looked up at me and he looked really nervous of his answer Part of me wanted to know the answer but I was starting to get very unsettled by their reactions.

"They get hung" he advised sadly.

"Oh" I said as my eyes widened in shock. Harry was right; after this had happened there was no way that I could leave him behind after this. He was breaking all the rules to help ensure Mal's safety and even though I didn't really like the sound of him being anywhere near Mal in Auradon. I knew that Mal loved me and wanted to be with me so Harry wouldn't get in between me and Mal.

"Yeah" I advised and Harry smiled at me.

"Right-" Harry started.

"Weapons are in there" he explained and he opened the box and the latch swung around and banged heavily against the back of the box.

"Everything you should need" he said happily and I noticed that there was a large pile of swords, knifes and pirate guns. I didn't know how long Harry had been planning this for but I had to say that I was very impressed.

"You do know that this is going to get really dirty" he stated as he looked up at me.

"Yes" I confirmed.

"It always is when it comes to Brad" I spat and Harry nodded at me as he handed me a sword, knife and gun. I then took a step back and looked at one of Mal's spray paintings on the wall.

"I'm coming Mal" I muttered.

"I'm on my way"

"They moved it here?" Evie asked incredulously. I didn't know where we were but the walk here seemed like it went on forever. We were now in a misty and murky fog that you could barely see through. We were currently walking down a wooden port and you could only hear our footsteps and the sound was unnerving me.

"Yes" Harry advised.

"Brad wanted to give the illusion of secrecy!" he spat.

"The beating I got from my father" he shuddered and I pursed my lips together. Mal had told me about the lives that the VK's were subjected to by their parents and I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. If I had known then I would have tried to save them; but now at least I was going to give the second generation a chance - starting the new batch of VK's and Harry.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"We are in Nowhere out there is Maleficent's fortress; that is why it is misty. She didn't want it to be found" Jay explained.

"I see" I noted as I nodded at this information. Of course I knew that Maleifent's fortress was one the Isle somewhere; my parents had told me about it. I just never expected to visit it at all.

"Where is the boat?" I pressed. I watched as Harry opened his mouth to speak but we all stopped when we heard a noise. A noise that ran straight through me and shook me to my core.

"I can hear screaming" I advised panic stricken. I felt my stomach start to burn as I knew who it was; and it was killing me to hear her in pain.

"Mal" I muttered and I ran down the dock and the ship came into view with the dock build up above it. I frantically looked around for a way to get onto the boat however the air filled with Mal's screams again. I looked down in the direction of the screams as the others caught up with me and we all gasped in horror at the scene in front of us.
