WILLOW, ben florian ( COMPLETED )

21 | Royal Cotillion pt 2

   

UMA DESCENDED DOWN THE STAIRS. Her hair was thrown into a bun and she wore a light blue dress. Willow gasps and everyone went into whispers, watching Ben meet Uma halfway up the stairs. He took ahold of her hand and walked her down before taking both hands and leaning down, placing a kiss against his ring that he had given her.

Willow was in total shock and felt like she may pass out. Her friends stepped up to her as Uma and Ben made their way up to her, "Sorry. It all happened so fast," he said, "Something happened to me when I was on the Isle with Uma. A connection."

"What are you saying?" Willow asked, her eyes on Ben.

Before Ben could get a word out, Uma said, "It was love!" she giggled. Willows eyes widened even more, "I realized how alike Ben and I are, you know?" Uma looks over at Willow.

"We are." Ben grinned and Uma giggled even more. Something was still off to Willow. "You're so beautiful," he added staring at Uma.

"Ben." Willow whispered, in completely shock but he paid no attention to her so she said it louder, "Ben!" he and Uma looked over, "Did you go back for her?"

"He didn't have to." Uma says, "I dove through the barrier before it closed and I'm an excellent swimmer, so . . ."

Willows shock turned to hatred and hurt. Her hatred for Uma only grew but she was hurt. So hurt. Uma stepped up to Willow and grabbed her hand, "Listen, Willow," she gripped her hand tightly which made Willow grunt, "I just really want to thank you. I do. For everything." She pulled Willow into a hug, "Thank you. Thank you so much."

Willow just stood there, staring at Ben, "Don't you see, Willow? You were right. You knew that we weren't meant to be together. That's why you left. Thank you." He took Uma's hand as the music began to play and they danced. Willow did in fact feel a bit woozy as her friends pulled her back. Mal held her in her arms.

"Not too thrilled I risked my life for him." Carlos commented, his body filled with anger as was Jays. Evie and Mal were hurt for her friend. Rey was just as confused. Everyone was. Rey, Doug, and Lonnie walked up to Willow, "We're with you, Willow." Belle and Adam watched in distaste.

Jay grabbed ahold of Willow, "Let's get out of here." She nodded grabbing onto him. He and the VK's led her toward the stairs but Adam, Belle, Rapunzel, and Flynn stopped them. "Willow," Adam said softly.

"Honey, we're so sorry. We had no idea." Belle told her.

"Sweetheart," Rapunzel caressed her face, feeling the tears fall from her eyes. Flynn pulled her close and placed a kiss against the top of her head. Willow pulled away and continued up the stairs. Jane ran past them and up to Lumiere, "Lumiere, unveil the gift. They need to see it," Jane said.

"And now, for the unveiling of King Ben's masterpiece, designed especially for his lady," Lumiere announces. Trumpets are blown and at the very end of the boat was a covered piece. The cover fell and it was revealed. It was a stained glass of Willow and Ben. Willow was in a black dress and her hair was as curly as ever. Willow gasps, covering her mouth. Her eyes were yellow. Everyone clapped.
