Ben Grabbed Mal by the collar of her purple leather dragon printed jacket and pushed her to the ground. As she fell to the floor, the side of her head caught the corner of Ben's bookshelf in his office, causing a graze on her temple which allowed blood to spill. Mal grabbed her head in pain and looked up to Ben with pleading eyes, "Ben please stop, this isn't you, don't listen to the voice."
Ben looked down at her, his eyes were as dark as dark could be, this was no longer her Ben, it was a beast, the one Ben had warned her about. Ben crouched down next to her and crossed his fingers, "What Part of 'leave me alone' don't you understand? You have disobeyed your king's orders and now you must receive the consequences. Now I could send you back to your mother back leaves me with no fun so how about..." Ben quickly arose from his position and powerfully kicked Mal's side "..This, this seems like a better punishment for you" Again his kicked her side. Mal laid there on the floor, frozen, starring at Ben with pleading eyes after every Blow she received.
After his fifth kick to her body, Ben stopped and grabbed Mal's purple hair, forcing her to stand up and match his height. Mal's hands immediately rose to her head, trying to loosen his grip on her hair, "Ben please stop, you not thinking straight, please Ben" Ma begged and begged, Ben had grown weary of it.
"STOP, shut up, you don't know anything. The only thing you should know is that you are worthless, pathetic, all you were was a pity date, I mean who could love someone as skanky and psychotic as you? Now I think it's time I did this kingdom a favour." Ben dropped Mal to the floor and walked over to his desk. Mal quickly stumbled to her feet and backed her body towards the nearest wall, hoping that whatever Ben is about to do would be the last of the pain.
Ben slammed his desk drawer shut and in his hand, the small blade of the letter opener glinted, Ben slowly advanced towards Mal, "Good night Mal" Ben whispered as he raised the small blade towards her body.
"Ben Please"
"STOP"
"BEN PLEASE STOP"
"Mal?"
"MAL!"
Mal's eyes shot open as her body shot up in her bed, her eyes connecting with her boyfriends. Once Ben had turned the lamp on that was beside their bed, he focussed all the attention he had at eleven o'clock at night on Mal. However, Mal's mind was still focussed on her nightmare, so much so that she couldn't tell if she was back in reality. She used all the strength she could muster and pushed Ben's body back as he reached in to try and comfort her. she jolted out of the bed and made her way to the door. With little to no effort, the door swung open and Mal made a run for it, down the grand golden staircase of Castle Beast and down towards the library where for some reason she felt safe.
Mal pushed the double doors to the library open but quickly closed them as she noticed Ben was merely a few steps away from her. "Mal? What's wrong?" In her attempt to run away from Ben, Mal forgot about his parents, Belle and Adam who were still awake and were residing in Belle's library.
Mal opened her mouth to reply but as she did, tears fell from her face and the grand double doors opened to reveal Ben. Mal's eyes kept switching from the couple to her boyfriend and as she did she kept taking steps backwards, hoping to find an escape. However, when she backed herself bookshelf, she felt no other choice but to fall to the floor and pull her body into a ball shape to try and protect herself. Belle and Adam immediately placed their books down and like Ben, rushed over to Mal.
Ben, crouched down and placed a reassuring had on her back hoping to comfort Mal instead it made it worse. She shrugged his hand off her as she loudly whispered the words "Please don't hurt me again, I'm so sorry Ben it won't happen again." Belle and Adam looked at Ben shockingly, their eyes questioning him. Ben retracted his hand fully and had now sat down next to Mal their backs leaning against the bookshelf.
"Mal, I promise you I won't hurt you, it was just a dream." Ben tried to reason with her but Mal was having none of it. "Why would I want to hurt you Mal? Out of the four years, we have been together I have never laid a finger on you so why would I do it now Mal?" Ben pleaded as his head rolled down to his knees.
"He said so" Ben raised his head as did Belle and Adam, what did Mal mean?
"What was that Mal?" Belle asked as she had now sat down and copied Ben's actions.
"I just wanted to see Ben but he was angry, really angry, he wouldn't let Ben see me. He made Ben hurt me, he made Ben kick and push me. He then got extremely angry and tried to kill me. He wouldn't let Ben go and I tried to help but it made things worse." Mal explained as she let the warm tears flow down her face, she raised her head up so now she was staring at the wall in front of her, not bothering to focus on the faces of those around her.
"Who Mal?" Adam asked as he also rested he back against the bookshelf, normally he wouldn't've even crouched down to talk to anyone on the floor, but Mal was an exception because she made his son happy.
Everyone in the room turned to Mal, waiting for her explanation of who was controlling Ben.
"The Beast" Mal whispered as she allowed her head to drop to her knees again. Belle and Adam looked at each other concerned. Ben kept his eyes on Mal, slowly he raised his hand and placed it on her knee, "it's okay Mal, it's over, I promise to never let him hurt you here." Ben promised as he slowly wrapped his around arm around her body that was still shaking with terror.
While this was going on, Belle and Adam were still eyeing each other, both thinking the same thing, 'it's not over, the nightmares and the anger, this is far from over'
