Benjamin sat on the desk, glaring at Madison. Today during History he's forced to sit with her. He heard Bj and Bentley laughing behind him. Benjamin turned around only to see Bj making a face at him as Bentley laughed. So Benjamin did the smartest thing to his mind.

He flicked them off.

"Benji, what do you think of my hair?" Madison asked.

"It's Benjamin not Benji." He snapped.

"Whatever. Now the guys who worship the ground I walk on always say my hair looks amazing."

"Guess what? I don't worship the ground you walk on. I don't even like you, heck I don't like anybody!"

"Say my hair looks perfect and we'll guess this over with."

Benjamin smirked, "Sorry. My dad taught me lying is bad."

Madison gasped and pushed him. Benjamin fell out of the chair but he felt like he was back on the moutian. He looked around wildly for Ethan. Then he appeared, his wicked smile, the evil glint in his eyes. Benjamin put his hands out, he screamed then fire and ice shot out of his hands.

"You're gonna do better than Benjamin. I almost destroyed your family once, I can do it again." Ethan whispered.

"Shut up!" Benjamin yelled.

He slammed his foot on the ground and fire wrapped them. Ethan laughed and held out his hand. Benjamin tossed out his hand and ice went through him. Benjamin heard fire alarms going off, he heard people screaming and people saying his name. But Benjamin couldn't look away from Ethan.

"You can't escape me Benjamin! I'm apart of you now. You know, Barty was right. You're the true villian." Ethan said.

"I can't!" Benjamin yelled.

"Look at you now. You used to be a powerful leader, you took me down. Ethan, son of Sedusa and Him. Yet you can't see the true villians at work?"

"Shut up."

"Now they're trying to set me free. And once they do, I'll take away the one person you care with all your heart."

"I don't have a heart!"

"Benjamin, Benjamin. I know that you truly love your dad. You would start World War 3 just for him. Why do you keep denying it?"

The water finally dropped on Benjamin and the fire started to go out. Someone grabbed his arms to pull him out. Benjamin thrashed out as he heard Ethan laugh. Someone slapped their hands over Benjamin's eyes. Benjamin calm down as he heard Ethan's laugh disappear in the sound of water. Benjamin gasped for air, the person took their hand off and his eyes met Bentley's.

"He's not here." Bentley whispered.

"I saw him! He's escaped, he laughed and. . . and he was real." Benjamin said.

"You're suffering from PTSD, he was triggered somehow from your memories." Bentley said as he tapped his chin. "What happened?"

"Yeah, dude, you kinda burned my arms." Bj said.

"Sorry," Benjamin muttered. "It happened after Madison pushed me. But that's never happened before, I got pushed before."

Bentley opened his mouth to say something but they hears giggling. They looked over and Apollo waved at them as he flashed them with a wicked grin. Apollo clapped as he walked at them, then poked Benjamin's nose.

"So that's your fear? You're scared of Ethan. I guess he does have a way getting in people's brain." Apollo said.

"Why are you here?" Benjamin asked.

"Oh, I'm going here now!" He exclaimed as he put his arms in the air. "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid."

"He can't lie." Bentley muttered.

Bj helped Benjamin stand up. Benjamin struggled to stand on his own, so he put his arm on Bj's shoulder. Apollo smirked and grabbed Bentley's hand, Bentley glared at him. His mismatched blue eyes turned dark but Apollo refused to let go of his hand.

"You can read minds? Read mine!" Apollo exclaimed.

Bentley knees wobbled as he read Apollo's mind. Benjamin growled as he lifted his arm to shot out ice. The ice hit Apollo, slamming him against the wall. Bentley gasped and fell against the floor, Bj rushed over and grabbed Bentley.

"You can't go here!" Benjamin yelled.

"Why not? 'Cause I'm a son of villian? Aren't you one too." Apollo said.

"Shut up."

"I never knew what Ethan saw in Bartholomew. If it was up to me, I would've got you. You almost burned the classrom! Talk about power."

Apollo smirked as he winked towards Benjamin. Benjamin glared and the girls with Bartholomew and Python running in. They looked around but Bast pulled out her spear then pointed it at his throat. Apollo never dropped his smile.

"Bast! Spear down, now." Benjamin hissed.

Bast put it down but grumbled some colorful words. Benjamin walked over and grabbed Apollo's shirt. Apollo smile finally dropped but Benjamin caught the evil glint. Beatrix said his name but Benjamin only see Ethan.

"Touch my family, I'll burn you alive." Benjamin hissed.

He let Apollo go then walked out of the room. His sister and cousins shouted out his name. Benjamin walked away and only heard Ethan's laugh with taunts. Benjamin punched the nearest locker but it didn't make the anger go away.

Benjamin turned around and he thought he sees Ethan. Benjamin stumbled backwards but tripped over his feet. Benjamin groaned but Python leaned against the locker. His green eyes stared at Benjamin.

"You're seeing him." Python said.

"No." Benjamin lied.

"When you see me or Apollo you think of him. Ethan."

"Don't you?"

"Sometimes, I have the struggle being related to him. But you have the trauma fighting him. I also know that you have a war inside of you, the villian and hero."

"How do I stop it?"

"Easy. You have to talk to the person who caused that war inside. You have to face them and make sure they listen to you."

Benjamin looked away and nodded, "Okay."

Python smiled and snapped his fingers making him disappeared. Benjamin stood up and flew out of the school towards his house. His heart beated against his chest and opened the door. He saw Blossom and Brick making food.

"Dad," Benjamin said as Brick turned around. "We need to talk."
