Benjamin pressed his lips together as he looked around. His dark pink eyes narrowed at the door. Benjamin tugged at his hair then walked inside. He nodded towards the officers playinh cards, and made his way to the cell. Benjamin try to whistle, wanting to calm down.

He already talked to his dad now he has to face his worse fear. He clench his teeth together as foot tapping echoed throughout the hallway. Benjamin stopped, staring at the prison cell. The only one filled, the only one that held Benjamin's greatest fear. Ethan.

He closed his eyes then grabbed the cover door. He pulled it open, cool air blasted through and light burned his skin. Benjamin opened his eyes to see Ethan tapping his foot. His brown hair know reached his shoulders, his tan skin is pale as a ghost, cheeks hallowed out. Benjamin stumbled but Ethan stopped. Ethan turned around, his face blank but he gave Benjamin a smile.

"Never thought you would show up." Ethan said. "They swore you would come to me when you find out."

"Apollo wants to free you. I need to be sure that you won't join his side." Benjamin said, trying to voice level.

Ethan shrugged, "Apollo's little crush on me is draining. Just as much your fear of me. Benjamin you have no reason to fear me, I made you stronger."

"Stronger? My own cousins think I'm the villain!"

"Aren't you? You're left handed correct?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Old beliefs think left hands belong to the devil. It isn't right that you use your left hand."

Benjamin narrowed his eyes at him then slammed his hands on the bars. Ethan laughed as Benjamin clenched his teeth together. Ethan stood up and tapped the bars. Ethan gave a wicked smile as Benjamin started to heavy breathe.

"Face it Benjamin! You really are the villain, you can't be good it's not in your DNA. Come on Benjamin, free me and I can give you everything." Ethan whispered. "Just melt the bars and we can escape together. You don't have to be known as the hero anymore."

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and his hands burning. He gasped as he pushed away, he looked down and his left hand burning red. Ethan laughed as Benjamin pressed his fist against his temples. His temples burned as he smelled his hair burning. Benjamin pulled his hands away and Ethan sighed.

"You always are so unpredictable you can never make up your mind. You don't wanna be a hero, you don't wanna be villain. Guess what Benjamin, you can't be anything else. Thank your parents for giving you these powers."

Benjamin glared then stomped his foot. Fire flared up, burning his jeans, as Ethan laughed. Benjamin grumbled then grabbed the cover door. He slammed it shut and froze some ice over it. He rubbed his face, hands still burning, then flew out. Benjamin forced himself to fly back to his house in top speed. He went through the door, hearing one the adults complaing.

"Benji? What happened?" Beatrix asked.

Benjamin looked around and saw Beatrix, Bast and Bartholomew watching TV. Python walked in holding a bowl of popcorn and a plate full of drinks. Python raised his eyebrow then looked at Benjamin's worried face. Benjamin waved his arms in the air, wanting to say something but nothing came out.

Bartholomew raised his hands, "Benjamin nothing is coming out of your mouth. You know that, right?"

Benjamin glared, he stomped his foot on the ground. Ice grew around him, which only happens when he can't form sentences, and continued to waved his arms. When he finally said one word the doorbell rang. He grumbled and stomped to the front door, leaving ice footprints, when he opened the door. A wild brown hair boy with green triangle tattoos stood there, wide eye and waving his hands in motions.

"I have no idea what your saying." Benjamin said.

Python pushed him out of the way. Benjamin cursed some colorful words as he slammed in the wall. Glaring at Python as he rubbed his head. Then Bartholomew, Beatrix, and Bast came running up, making him squashed against the wall.

"What do you guys think your doing?" Benjamin grumbled.

"Hey Maine! I haven't seen since school, how been? Want a grilled cheese or some apple juice?" Bartholomew asked.

Maine waved his hands. Python nodded as he made some signs back. Bast looked over at Benjamin, who shrugged his shoulders. Bast looked back and Python gasped.

"What is going on!" Beatrix grumbled.

"Yeah, babe, mind translating for us. We don't know ASL." Bartholomew said.

"Oh right," Python said, "Maine wants to know where Bentley is."

"Today's Friday, right? So he's heading down the river to listen to the animals." Bartholomew said.

Python translated it to Maine, and Maine frowned. He looked over at Benjamin with a cold look. Benjamin gulped as Maine made more signs as Python flinched. Python looked over at Benjamin with a cold look. Benjamin flinched as Python turn to look at Maine.

"He wants us to watch out. He thinks something is fishy." Python said.

Python shot Benjamin one more glare then Maine pointed to Benjamin. He felt all the teens looking at him as Maine sign something. Python straighten his back as he nodded. Maine turned away and walked away. Benjamin looked at Maine, who had the same triangle tattoos as Python. Python looked at Benjamin, narrowing his eyes.

"What did Maine say, when he looked at me?" Benjamin asked.

"Nothing." Python lied.

Benjamin pouted, "I need to know."

"You need some sleep. Ethan knows how to mess with the brain, also you burned your temples and hair." Python whispered.

Benjamin gulped as he looked at the street. He wanted to find Maine but the boy disappeared. He grumbled but turned around. He closed the door, and walked to his room. Benjamin chewed on his thumb as he walked inside his room. He looked around tapped on his chin. Usually Bentley would be home playing music from his room but Benjamin didn't hear anything. He frowned and walked towards Bentley's room. He tugged on the doorknob, grumbling when he couldn't open it. He glared then kicked the door and walked back to his room. He jumped on his bed, flipping on his back.

"Why would Maine come all the way out here?" Benjamin asked himself. "Is Bentley in trouble or is Maine in love with him? But then again Bentley doesn't like anybody."

He closed his eyes then grabbed his blanket, pulling it over him. He laid on his side and jolted up.

"Because Bentley is in trouble." Benjamin gasped. "Ethan basically told me! I'm so stupid!"
