Hi guys here's a second chapter for you.
DISCLAMER: I DO NOT OWN DESCENDANTS ALL RIGHTS GO TO DISNEY ANY DIOLOGE YOU RECONISE BELONGS TO DISNEY I OWN NOTHING!
Ben's arm slips gently from my shoulders as we walk into his dorm. Part of me wanted to go to the lake for more privacy but at least this way Ben won't have to put up with me having to touch him on the way back. I shut the door but I don't lock it I want to give him a chance to rightfully storm out after he hears everything.
He sits on the bed and pats the spot next to him but I shake my head "Ben….there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it?" he asks.
I close my eyes mentally preparing myself for the one person who has always told me that I was not evil, to look at me like I'm exactly that.
"Audrey was right…..your under a love spell. That cookie I gave you before the game? It was spelled, go ahead yell I already have a bag packed to go back" I mutter. I keep my eyes closed and wait for the yelling.
"Mal…look at me" Ben murmurs I slowly open my eyes to see him looking at me with same soft gaze he was before. "I'm not sending you back" "I already know about the spell."
"You…what?" I choke out in shock my eyes widening.
"The spell washed off in the Enchanted Lake magic doesn't work there."
"So…what? You've been faking it?" I ask.
Ben shakes his head "I wasn't faking anything". He gets up and walks toward me "I told you I loved you after I came out of the lake. I meant it Mal" he wraps his arms around me
"But…..but how can you? I'm the next 'mistress of evil' I'm vicious and cruel and evil" I mutter against Ben's chest.
Ben shakes his head "if you were really evil you wouldn't have jumped into the lake when you thought I'd drowned when you knew you couldn't swim…if you were really evil we wouldn't even be having this conversation."
I pull back to look at his face "you really love me?"
Ben nods smiling "I do" he kisses my forehead. I close my eyes and enjoy it for a second before they open again. That's not all I need to tell him.
"Ben…that's not all of it…my mother wants the fairy godmothers wand it was the whole reason we came here at the start"
"What?" Ben asks
I flinch this is the reaction I was expecting "please don't take it out on the others, they didn't even want to do it!" I say frantically desperate to protect my siblings.
"Do you want to do it?" Ben asks softly.
I shake my head "no. I haven't really since our date…all you've ever done is believe in me you're the first person to tell me it is ok not to be a copy of my mother…to be myself…after you and Doug stood up for us today…you don't deserve it I couldn't go through with it anymore"
Ben nods and kisses my forehead "you don't have to do it your safe here."
"I'm terrified Ben when my mother doesn't get what she wants…." I trail off "if she somehow gets off the Isle the four of us are dead."
"She won't get off there we'll talk to fairy godmother" I frown and look down but Ben tilts my face back up "Mal do you trust me?"
"Yes" I murmur he's the first person I have ever really trusted.
"Then trust me when I say that you and the others will be safe." He tucks a strand of my hair back and stokes my hair as he holds me. he pulls away after awhile "Mal? Would you wear this?" he asks holding out his signet ring.
"Are...are you sure?" I stutter in shock. Ben smiles.
"I wouldn't ask if I wasn't" I look at the ring thinking. Ben had told me he loved me and while I couldn't say it back yet ,maybe wearing his ring would be a step toward showing him. It was a way of saying 'I love you' to him without actually saying it.
"Yes" I finally say. Ben smiles his eyes shining happily as he slips the ring on my finger. its a perfect fit. He places a small kiss on my hand before hugging me again.
I close my eyes and enjoy him holding me, this conversation had gone differently than I expected but I wouldn't change anything. I was still worried but I knew one thing no matter what happened I would not betray Ben. I was my own person not even my mother could change that now.
So that's the second chapter. I hope you guys didn't think this was OOC I tried I hope you liked it. Review? Pretty please?
