Mal's P.O.V
I sat with Cesar at the abandoned ruins, the place where Ben and I had had our first date. I could feel tears pool in my eyes as I thought about what he'd done, what he'd said, I mean, I didn't wan't to believe it, but there was no other explanation. I sighed, and Cesar tried to comfort me, casually remarking, "This is a nice picnic you've got here." I looked at him, and his voice softened. "Hey, you wanna head back to the castle. I wordlessly nodded, and he helped me up. we walked to his car, and I sat in the back, feeling bad about getting water all over his seats. When we reached the castle, he walked me to Evie's room in the hospital wards, and it was nice to have someone being so friendly. I walked into the room, surprised to find both Carlos and Ben there. I ran up to Ben, and he opened his arms and smiled. As I reached him, I punched his shoulder hard. "Ow, what was that for? And why are you all wet? And is that...Cesar?" Cesar glared at Ben,his face angry as he let me talk. "I'm all wet because you took me to the Enchanted Lake to learn how to swim, and left me to die there! If it wasn't for Cesar, I would've drowned!" Ben's entire face darkened, his eyes flashing a deep, dark, scary green as his body tensed. His voice was slow and dangerous, every word drawn out as he quietly asked me, "Someone tried to drown you?"I looked up at him, noticing that his features looked...different. His eyes were darker, none of the usual joy or light in them. They were darker, dangerous. His teeth looked longer, more pointed, more canine. His mouth was turned down into a terrifying frown, not its usual carefree smile. I looked down, to where he had grabbed my forearm. He was holding on tighter now, and I realized his fingernails were more Claw than nail. I looked up at him, and he spoke again, this time his tone, while still dangerous, was more explanatory. "Mal, I've been here with Carlos this Whole time, I swear." His voice changed again, darker, angrier, more violent, and definitely more dangerous. "This means whoever is planning all this," He motioned around the room, "has magic." He pulled me closer to him, hugging me, as he whispered sorry against my hair. I stood ther in shock, realizing what this meant. "So...you didn't try to kill me?" I asked, my voice hopeful. "No Mal, I would never, ever, try to kill you." I burst out sobbing, crying into Ben's chest as he stroked my hair.
Ben's P.O.V
I held Mal close, thanking Cesar, as I could feel myself transforming. My parents had always warned me that if I got to angry, it might awaken the curse. But my curse, since it wasn't a direct curse, it was a blood curse, wouldn't be as bad as my fathers, I would only look more beast like. I tried to calm down, but I couldn't, I mean, how could I? Someone had just tried to drown Mal, for godmothers sake! I growled thinking about it, and hugged Mal a little tighter. I felt so bad, I should've been there to protect her! I should do something to warn the people of Auradon a psycho was on the loose! "Cesar, Call an emergency meeting." I said, looking at the older boy. He nodded, and handed a bowl of strawberries to Mal. "Lumiere just brought these for you." He said, before walking away, I sighed as Mal ate a strawberry, refusing her offer as she motioned the bowl towards me. My stomach was too full of worry right now. She shrugged, polishing off the entire bowl, finishing just as Lumiere walked in. "Sire, everyone is here for the meeting." I nodded, holding Mal's hand as I walked to the auditorium. As I was finishing up my speech, I looked at Mal, and did a double take. She was sweating heavily, holding her stomach as she groaned. I ran over to her, jumping back as I brushed against her skin, she was burning up, her skin boiling. I looked around, motioning for Lumiere and Cogsworth to help me carry Mal back to the hospital ward.
Mal's P.O.V
As Ben was giving his speech, I started feeling really hot. My vision flickered dimming, and out of nowhere, I could hear Ben's voice, but it was watery and distant, like I was underwater. I could feel him shift and move me, and then I blacked out.
Mystery Person's P.O.V
I could feel Cesar fighting me, but I wouldn't let him take control. Sure, I was using his name and image, but then again, didn't we share the body?I watched Ben wheel away the purple haired girl, frowning as I remembered when Cesar had shed our disguise and wrestled the control out of my hands, taking over long enough to save the girl. I wouldn't let that happen again. His voice was yelling in the back of my mind, "Why are you doing this? WHY?!" He was shouting again, and I raised my hand up to my head, rubbing my temple as I tried to get rid of the voice. I looked up as Doug came over, asking me if I wanted to check on Mal and Evie. "Of course, my nerdy cousin." My velvet voice purred as I walked with him, ignoring the urge to get rid of him then and there, after all, I needed to go in order. I thought about my stroke of genius with the cursed strawberries. I pulled my face into a solemn frown as I walked into the room, trying to comfort Ben. "I'm sure she's fine." Not. I turned, looking the next victim in his chocolate brown eyes that were filling with tears as he watched them put Mal next to Evie in the hospital ward. The de Vil crawled between them, once again sobbing.
