(Cringe! I wrote this when i was 12-13)
Mal's POV I was woken up by Ben kissing me. "Hi" I said and yawned. "Hey beautiful" I smiled. "Can I have my clothes now? I'm cold" I said and kisses him softly. "Then I'll warm you up" he said and pressed his body against me. He wrapped his arms around me to give me some body heat. I laughed. "Please Benny" I whined. "I'm not giving you anymore kisses until you give me my clothes" I said and turned around. "Wha—fine" he sighed. He got up and took my clothes out of the hiding spot he put it in. I got on my tippy toes and whispered "thank you" . I turned around and flipped my hair in his face. I giggled. He put his hands on my waist. I bent down and picked my clothes off the floor. I threw them on the bed. Ben took my hand and spun me around. I put my hands on his chest and he had his hands on my lower back. I got on my tippy toes and pecked his lips. I put my arms around his neck. Our faces were so close. He kissed me passionately. "Although I love our moments like this... I have to go" he said with his hands going up and down my torso. "I know" I said and kissed him. I got dressed into cute short blue skirt with a light pink top.

"Babe I'm going" Ben said. "Wait I'm dome" I said and ran to him. I slipped on my flats and he intertwined our hands. He kissed my hand. I closed our bedroom door. We walked downstairs. Adam was waiting for Ben. "You're not eating?" I asked him. "No I'll eat later" he said and kissed me. "Bye" I said and let go of his hand. He went off with his dad. I said next to Belle. It was an awkward silence. "So Mal do you want a tour of Arendelle?" Elsa asked. "Sure" I replied. "Great I'll have Beth give it to you" she said. "Oh yay!" I said with fake enthusiasm. We ate in silence. "Well we should get going if you want to see all of Arendelle!" Beth said getting up. "Kill me now" I whispered in Belle's ear. "I would come but I have some events I have to attend to" she whispered back. I got up and walked to Beth. We walked out of the castle. It was silent. "Can we stop for one second" I said. We stopped. "Good because I have a lot to tell you" she said. "Look I came here to meet Ben's friends and family. I didn't come here to pick a fight with one of his exs. So please, can we just put aside that you like Ben and that you won't have him, and be friends?" I asked. "Awe that's sweet" she said. "But no. I am not going to stop until I get Ben back. He's mine, I know that somewhere deep down he still has feelings for me. I want you to stay away from him. Or else" she said. "Just so you know. I'm not scared of you. I am never going to stay away from Ben, he's my husband. And remember... I'm the daughter of the mistress of evil. So if I were you I'd watch your back" I said and walked away. I decided to look around town by myself. I walked in the village. Liam walked towards me. "What do you want?" I said and kept walking. "Come" he said and took my arm. He lead me into his house, km guessing its his... "What do you want?!I don't like you" I said. "Relax I know. I just wanted you to meet more of Ben's friends" he said. He lead me to the living room. "This is Mal, my ex, Ben's wife..." He said. I chuckled. "Yeah sorry about that, I didn't think I would see you here" I said. "So you're the girl Ben always talks about" one of his friends said. "Um yeah I guess" I said and laughed. I looked at all of these guys and they looked familiar. "So um, how long have you known Ben?" Someone asked. "5 years, why?" I replied. I know where they're from! I backed up a bit. I bumped into a chair. "Excuse me, I have a call to make" I said and walked quickly into the entrance. "—Harry please come— I'm in Arendelle! I found them — yes in okay but please come. Ben's in a meeting and I need help — thank you" I said. I walked back into the living room. "Are you okay?" He asked. I nodded. My phone rang. "Hello? — use your magic! — Harry please!! Just use you're freaking magic!!" I yelled and hung up. "Who's Harry? Are you cheating on Ben?" Someone asked. "Oh don't play dumb. I know who you all are. And no I would never cheat on Ben" I said. Harry appeared. He hugged me. "You're — whoa" he said and turned around to the others. "What are you guys doing here?! You're supposed to be on the isle!" He yelled. "We got out" one of the guys said. "You guys aren't actually Ben's friends. Liam how could you?!" I yelled at him. "They threatened me to do it!" He replied. "If I were you I would get out of here right now" Harry said. "Not you Liam" he added "get out!!" He yelled. They ran out of the house because they were scared of Harry. That's why I called Harry. I hugged him. "Thanks" I told him. "Well I'm going back. I'll see you in Auradon" I told Harry. I let them catch up. I got in the castle and went into the dining/living room. The girls were comforting Beth because she was crying. "Mal, why would you do that?!" The aunt yelled. "What did I do?" I asked. I looked at Beth and she was fake crying. "Oh I see what's going on. Beth didn't tell you the truth so now it looks like I'm the bad guy" I said. She stopped crying. "Unless you want me to show everyone what you actually said" I told her. She pushed Elsa and her ice powers shot right in front of me (Elsa didn't have her gloves on). The ice was pushing me into a corner and it was getting bigger and sharper. "Beth why would you do this?!" Elsa asked. "Belle help me!" I yelled. "Wait what am I saying, I have magic" I said and used it. "Why isn't my magic working?!" I yelled. "Its not going to work. The only way is to melt the ice!" Elsa yelled. "Well whatever you CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?!!" I screamed. The door opened. "What the hell is going on?!" Ben yelled. He saw me. "Mal!" He said and started running towards me but he stopped because the ice was pointy. I got cut by the ice the was growing next to me. It cut my arm badly. I was bleeding a lot. I tried as hard as I can to melt the ice with my magic. Lasers shot out from my eyes. It made a path between the ice so I can pass. "Whoa what just happened." I asked myself. Ben came through the path. "Ah" I said in pain. "Can we get a cloth please?" He asked. "Ben" I said. "Yes baby" he replied stroking my hair. "It hurts" I said in pain. I was bleeding a lot. He picked me up bridal style and placed me on the couch. Belle brought him a cloth and he placed it gently on my cut. I was still bleeding a lot. It was a really big cut. "You okay?" He asked. I nodded. He kissed my forehead. "Who did this?" He asked turning around. Everyone looked at Beth. "What's your problem?!" Ben yelled. "Mal hasn't done anything to you! Can you just get with the fact that I am never going to be with you. I'm married and have 3 children! Will you just let it go?!" Ben yelled. "I am sick of everyone trying to ruin our relationship! Everywhere we go, someone tries to ruin us!" He said. "Ben ca—" I started saying but he cut me off. "No!" He yelled. "Ben listen to h—" Belle said but he cut her off. "I said I don't care!!" He yelled. I got up. "BEN! CALM DOWN RIGHT NOW. I am sick and tired of you getting angry for no reason! Do you remember what you told me yesterday?" I asked him tearing up. He didn't say anything. "None of this matters. There's no need to get angr—" I said but he cut me off. "But you don't get it. I have lost you 3 times in 5 years. I don't want that to happen again. I don't want her getting in the way of us" he said grabbing my hands. "She won't trust me." I told him and turned around to face Beth. "I told you already. Your threats don't scare me. I am nevergoing to stop being around Ben. Maybe if you'd be a little bit nicer you'd have a boyfriend and not go after your ex. Watch your back" I said and went upstairs. Ben followed. "Babe —" "Don't. I am not in the mood to hear any shit you say" I said and slammed the door. I sat down on the bed and applied cold water on my cut. He sat down next to me and helped me. I turned the other way not to face him. It was silent for about a minute. Then very quickly he turned me around and pushed me down on the bed and kissed me passionately. It was all so quick to process. It turned into a very hot make out sesh. I kissed him and we broke away. He went in for a kiss but I turned my head. He kissed my neck softly and sat back up. I also sat back up. "What's wrong?" He asked. "I love you" I said starting to cry. "I love you too. Baby what's wrong?" He asked hugging me. "I care about you a lot. And I know that you just want to be there for me. But I never wanted you to see me like this. It hurts me knowing that you see me like this. You know how I said I wasn't scared of Beth's threats?" I asked. He nodded rubbing my back. "Well I am. She won't stop until she gets you! She almost killed me today Ben. And I don't want me or our baby to die because of Beth. I don't want our baby to die again. It hurt so much the first when we found out. I don't want it to happen again." I said bursting out crying. He moved my hair out of my hair and put it behind my shoulders. "I never wanted you to see me like this. I'm usually tough and mean but when it comes to my soft spot, I just can't help it. My soft spot it our family. You" I said and cried into his chest. "Look baby, it does hurt me seeing you like this because I feel like this is all my fault. But I promise Beth won't try to do anything else. I will always be by your side and I won't let anything else happen to you. I promise. After tonight, if you want we can leave" he told me and kissed my head. "Look at me" he said and lifted up my head. He wiped away my tears. "I love you" he said softly. He kissed me hard. He pulled me up and I hugged him. I had my arms around his neck and he had his arms around my torso hugging me tightly. We stayed in that position for a while.
