Fire N' Gold ~Benlos~

Missing

Okay, you guys are ridiculous! 400 reads!! Literally the last chapter I was going on about 300 but now 400! I can't deal.

~Carlos POV~

"I can't believe we're just sitting here in History class while we could be out there helping look for him!" I whisper yell at the other three and Mal sighs.

"Carlos, it'll be okay! They'll find Ben in no time, and when they do he'll come back and run into your arms." Evie stats, trying to get me to calm down but it wasn't working, I was still a nervous wreck. Ever since Ben saved me from whatever was going on with me he's been missing. That was 3 days ago and no one has seen him! He hasn't shown up to any of his classes, his room is completely empty all the time, and even his parents say they haven't seen him.

"And what if they don't? I get that we're supposed to be evil and everything and only care about ourselves, but I had my test run with the evilest I could be and I didn't like it at all. So I can't just sit here and act like everything is peachy and fine because it isn't!" I whisper yelled to them and they go silent. I felt bad for taking my stress out on them, I really do, but they just can't understand what I'm going through.

I sigh and put my head down on the desk. I haven't gotten much rest lately, most of my nights are full of me exploring every inch of this place trying to find Ben, I even started exploring the surrounding woods but there wasn't any luck. After Jay started to catch to what I was doing he wouldn't let me leave the room at night anymore, he said I was driving myself mad doing that and pretty soon the lack of sleep was going to catch up with me. I was mad at him of course but he was right, it was going to catch up to me.

I thought that after staying in the room and laying in bed I could get some sleep but that wasn't happening. I couldn't stop imagining Ben in horrible situations where his life was at risk. It was so bad that I couldn't sleep at all because I was too worried. And on the nights where I could get maybe an hour of sleep wasn't all blissful either. The thoughts that kept me awake on most nights would haunt my dreams on those few nights, I would imagine Ben running through the woods trying to survive.

Sometimes someone would be chasing him, sometimes he would be injured from a mysterious accident. It may have been a different reason for running but his destination was always the same place, Auradon. He would scream and cry for someone to help him but no one ever heard him, and he would just try to run but he never made it. Those dreams would terrify me so much that I could only sleep for an hour at a time if I were lucky enough to fall asleep that is.

I just needed a good nap or something that could just get a lot of stress off my shoulders, the teacher wouldn't mind, right? I guess I was too stressed to care what the teacher thought because the next thing I know my eyes are becoming heavier and I'm drifting to sleep.

"Carlos?" Ben says softly after he pulls away from the kiss. I look up at him and slightly smile. "Carlos, what happened?" He asks and I shake my head.

"I...I don't know, it's just like all the anger in me rose up and took control, I do-"

"No, I mean, I don't remember how I got here." He says, his expression still showing major confusion and my eyes go big. The cookie spell was broken! No no no! That means we're back to square one.

"W-what do you mean?" I ask hesitantly, maybe he just doesn't remember this situation and the cookie spell didn't get broken? I don't know I'm being optimistic here!

"I mean I don't remember how I got here. In fact, the last thing I remember was talking to Mal by her locker. Then she gave me this cookie and..." He suddenly stopped talking and he looked like he realized something. "The cookie?" He says again, more to himself this time and he looked up at me.
