Ben and Mal had it all, they were the envy of the kingdom of Auradon and the two knew they were loved by all. It had been two months after the VK's had chosen good and all seemed to be okay in the lands, With the barrier repaired and Maleficent a lizard there seemed to be no room for evil to rear its head at all but of course.. Evil comes in many forms sometimes when your least expecting it. And that brings us to our story.. a tale of betrayal.. redemption.. and finding happily ever afters..

Mal walked into Beast Castle ready for her date night with Ben, they were going to travel to Corona for the lantern festival and Mal was beyond excited for that. As Mal turned the corner she noticed some maids and guards staring which wasn't new for her.. but they seemed upset.. even worried, Mal shrugged it off and without thinking opened the door to Ben's room. that's when she saw it, Ben and another girl making out Mal didn't say anything that is.. until Ben spoke to the girl

"I love you.. I want you, be my lady"

The girl went to reply but was startled by the silhouette of Mal in the doorway. The girl instantly stood up and backed away her eyes never leaving the daughter of Maleficent. She went to speak but Mal put her hand up, she looked at Ben with pain and heartache in her eyes she needed Ben to say something.. anything.. what was he doing, was he spelled? No.. this person wouldn't spell him.. she wouldn't spell anyone. Ben stood up and looked at Mal his eyes were almost cold and calculated as he looked at his girlfriend

"Mal.. this..I didn't want you to find out this way" Ben said softly before taking the other girls hand in his own. "We are just.. to different, I'm proud of you for choosing good.. I am, but I can't have a villain kid.. especially the daughter of the most feared villain in the land as a girlfriend.. and surely not as my queen…"

Mal backed away slightly, she felt as though she would burst She looked at the girl and then at Ben

"what are you saying?"

"I'm saying.. I want to break up.. I've been.. cheating on you for about a month, you really weren't supposed to find out this way.. I was going to wait until we got to corona..and.."

"And what?! leave me there?! dump me in front of all of corona?! do.. do your parents know about this?" Mal asked as she fought back the urge to punch both of them in their faces.

Ben looked at Mal and nodded "they do.. I'm so sorry Mal.. truly I am.." he said softly.

Mal shook her head before nodding softly, "so.. you have been.. faking it.. you've been faking it all"

"I needed to get away from Audrey.. she was suffocating.. that doesn't excuse it but Mal you.. and Evie and Jay and Carlos.. you can all still stay here in Auradon.. we've made.. Arraignments for you all.."

This pushed Mal overboard, she narrowed her green eyes and pursed her lips "what.. Arraignments.." she sneered.

This time the girl spoke, any other time Mal wouldn't have minded her voice but right now.. it was grating.

"Our parents.. they are having you four moved.. to the outskirts of the borderlands.."

"You mean.. where Shere khan's jungle is?!" Mal blurted out her eyes wide with confusion.

"Yea.. its kind of like, a grand jungle vacation.. think of it that way" the girl said with a smile, causing Ben to giggle slightly.

Mal chuckled slightly in sarcasm and shook her head before heading out of the room without so much as a word. On her way out she saw Belle and Adam standing in the hall with worried looks on their faces.

"We are so sorry Mal.. if there's anything.. we…" Belle began saying before being cut off by the purplette

"Your people.. have done enough.. thank you.. your highness.." Mal said before bolting out of the castle and heading back to her dorm, how was she going to tell the gang..

Meanwhile Ben stood still for a few moments before turning to the girl and taking both her hands, but the girl looked.. sad

"Mal will get over it.. she's strong.." Ben said softly

The girl pulled her hands away from Ben and shook her head "this.. this is wrong.. Ben I should have never done this.. Mal is our friend.. she defeated her mother to save the kingdom.. she chose good.. betraying her family on the Isle.. and you are just.. fine with it.. as if its another goddamned day for you?!" the girl exclaimed before biting her lip and walking to the door "I hope you never.. find happiness, you don't deserve it at all.." she sighed before leaving the room. Leaving Ben alone to think about what he just did, growling he threw a book at the wall and flopped onto his bed, suddenly the lights began to flicker throughout the castle before everything went dark.

When Ben came to he walked to the hallway when a maid screamed upon seeing him, After a few moments Adam and Belle came rushing to the screams to see their son.

"why are you looking at me that way?" Ben asked with wide eyes just as Lumiere came walking down the hallway.

"Oh not again.." Lumiere exclaimed before looking at Adam and Belle "lets hope.. this doesn't last nearly as long as the last time.." he said before scurrying off quickly.

Ben shook his head "what.. what is Lumiere rambling about?"

"Ben.. go look in the mirror.. and you tell us what happened.. everything.." Belle said softly as she looked at her husband.

Ben did just that, he walked into his room and looked in the mirror. Backing away he shook his head, was this a trick? He looked at his parents with wide eyes before looking at his hands, which were two massive paws with razor sharp claws attached. "I'm.."

"A Beast.." Adam said as he looked away from his son.

"How did this happen Ben?" Belle asked worriedly as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"I.. broke up with Mal.."

"is that it?" Belle asked with wide eyes, "only a powerful enchantress can put this curse on you.. and usually.. she has good reason.."

"well she didn't!" Ben exclaimed loudly

"Watch your tone." Adam snapped firmly "You are not being honest.. now tell us.. what you did…"

Ben looked at his parents and bit his lip slightly before sighing "I cheated on Mal.. and told her.. that we would be moving her Evie Jay and Carlos.. to the borderlands.." he said softly.

"You what?!" Belle exclaimed, "Benjamin Florian Rogers.. what has gotten into you? You were supposed to break up with her for poor grades..and who.. is this girl you cheated on her with?"

Ben looked away at this question, not wanting to answer.

"Answer your mother Ben..right now" Adam said sternly.

"It… was Jane…" Ben whispered softly.

Belle and Adam shared a worried look between the two of them before looking at their son again, "she cursed you… and you need to make it right.. I will see if Jane and Fairy godmother will come to the Castle for dinner tonight.."

"tonight?! I need this curse gone sooner then that! I have to go to corona" Ben exclaimed.

"Looking like that? There is no way you are leaving this castle…" Adam said firmly.

"No. He will go.. this is his lesson.. and he needs to learn from it. So you will continue to do your duties as king.. looking like this.. or not.. you will make it right" Belle said firmly as she stood up and took her husbands hand.

"I want you ready in an hour.. the limo will bring you to corona soon.." Belle said before leaving with Adam.

Ben growled and slammed his door hard enough that the wood splintered, he fell to his knees hating how Jane could do this to him..
