Chapter 12
*Ben's POV*
We all stood around watching each other with worried expressions on our faces.
"What does Harry think he's going to accomplish by doing this?" I asked.
"I think I know why" Mal admitted.
"What is it Mal? What does he want?" Jay asked.
Mal gulped.
"He want's revenge on all of us for defeating him and the rest Uma's pirate crew back on the Isle, but I don't think that's the only thing he wants" Mal said nervously.
"What else does he want?" I asked warily.
Mal took a deep breath.
"Me, he wants me" Mal confirmed. "Harry probably thinks that once you're all out of the way only then will I want to be with him" Mal said.
My eyes flared up with anger.
"Over my dead body!" I growled.
Mal reached up to cup my face. I wrapped my arms tightly around her waist.
"Ben calm down" Mal said softly.
I took a deep breath in order to ease my beastly temper.
"There's no way I'm letting Harry anywhere near you" I said determinedly.
"Feeling territorial?" Mal asked while wrapping her arms around my neck.
"Always" I replied softly while pressing a brief kiss against Mal's lips.
"Hey love birds, can we get back to problem at hand? Lonnie is still missing!" Jay shouted.
"Ease up bro, we'll find her" I promised.
"I swear if Harry hurts her I'm going to kill him!" Jay growled.
"It just doesn't make sense; how could Harry have taken Lonnie?" I wondered. "Not only is she great with a sword but she's a black belt in martial arts" I said.
"Unless he had help" Jane said.
"From who?" Ben questioned.
"I bet it was Gil" Jay replied.
"I say we pay him a visit" Mal insisted.
"Let's go" I agreed.
I walked over to Gil and Harry's dorm room with Mal and Jay. Jane decided to stay behind in case she heard anything about Lonnie. When we arrived in front of Gil's dorm room I knocked on the door. We heard shuffling around inside before the door opened. Gil stood there with a smug expression on his face.
"To what do I owe the pleasure?" Gil asked while smirking.
"Where's Lonnie?" Jay asked in a deadly calm voice.
"I don't know; Harry didn't tell me where he was going because he knows I'm bad at keeping secrets" Gil confessed. "He did however promise me a turn with Mal" Gil said while winking at Mal.
Before I knew it I pushed Gil back and pinned him against the wall.
"What?!" I growled.
"Hey can you blame me?" Gil asked while smirking. "I mean look at her, she is one hot- "
I put him in a chokehold against the wall.
"Your life depends on you not finishing that sentence!" I growled.
"Okay, okay" Gil said holding his hand up in surrender while gasping for air.
Soon as I let go of Gil, Mal grabs my hand intertwining her fingers with mine as a show of silent support.
"Can you at least tell us how Harry managed to kidnap Lonnie?" Jay questioned.
Gil seemed to be having a silent debate with himself on whether or not he should tell us anything else.
"Gil, if you don't want to be sent back to the Isle along with Harry I suggest you tell us what you know" I said in a deadly calm voice.
Gil took a deep breath and relented.
"Remember when you guys escaped the Isle and Uma slipped through the barrier before it could close?" Gil reminded them.
"Yes" we all said in unison.
"Well a few of the other pirates from our crew managed to slip through the barrier too" Gil said wincing.
"What?" Jay asked incredulously.
"Yeah" Gil confirmed.
All of a sudden my phone beeps, I take it out to see a text message from Fairy Godmother.
"Fairy Godmother wants to see us in her office again" I said to Mal.
"Okay" Mal replies.
"I'm coming too" Jay said, leaving no room for debate.
"Alright let's go" I agreed.
As the three of us turn around and start to leave, Gil's voice stops me in my tracks.
"See you guys later, and Mal I'll see you in your dreams" Gil said while giving Mal a wink.
Before I knew it I had turned around throwing a roundhouse punch to Gil's jaw.
"I deserved that" Gil said while rubbing the newly formed bruise on his face.
"Yeah, you did" I agreed. "You have a nice day Gil" I said while walking away from him and rejoining Jay and Mal.
"Was that really necessary Ben?" Mal asked while wrapping her arms around my neck.
I wrapped my arms around Mal's waist.
"Yes it was" I replied while smirking.
"My possessive beast" Mal said lovingly before pressing a brief kiss to my lips.
"Alright lovebirds, let's go!" Jay shouted, reminding us that we weren't alone.
