Bal: a King and his queen

Don't worry

*a few hours later she wakes up to find Ben, who she is still curled up with, texting someone with a slightly worried look on his face, he notices she's awake as she sits up*
Ben: hey, you feel better?
Mal: yeah....so who you texting?
Ben: just someone from the council
Mal: are they pissed you skipped the meeting? I'm really sorry if they are, you didn't have to stay, I'm fine on my own
Ben: no it's not that, you don't have to worry Mal, not for the moment anyway
Mal: what do you mean?
Ben: it doesn't matter
Mal: no, tell me
Ben: I don't want you to worry
Mal: why would I need to worry?
Ben: it's about your mom
Mal: what's she done now?
Ben: we're getting reports from a few of our people on the island, Maleficent has regained control of the isle, she's refusing to let the kids come here, something's brewing, so we're preparing to send troops in
Mal: why does my mom have to ruin everything? Why is destroying my life like her favourite hobby?
Ben: she can't do anything to you Mal, I won't let her I promise you
Mal: and if you have no choice?
*he holds her tightly to his chest and she holds onto him like she may never let go*
Ben: she won't touch you while I'm still breathing
Mal: please don't let go
Ben: never
*he looks down at her slightly worriedly, he's never seen her like this, it was a kind of fear she had only experienced once before, a fear she'd hoped never to feel again*
