Descending Into Madness

1/9

Ben was hiding around the corner. Listening, waiting for Diego to say something he know he shouldent.

"What do you need Diego ?" Carlos asked

" There's something I need to ask you something." Diego said.

"What is it ?"

"Do you know anything about Jane ?" he asked

Ben's heart slowed down. He thought he was gonna asked Carlos about his power or his father. Ben knew what he was doing was wrong but he didn't want to take the chance of any thing happening so he stayed just until the converscasion was done.

"Why do you...like her ? " asked Carlos

"I...I think so Carlos. I can't explain it but she's just so damn mesmerizing." Diego said.

"Well to tell you the truth. I dated her last year."

Diego was a shocked at what he heard. He thought...he knew that Carlos was gay. So why would he date a girl ?

"I thought you're...um" Diego shuddered

"I believe the word your looking for is gay, and yes Diego I'm gay." Carlos said confidently.

There was a time when Carlos couldn't even think of the word. Without freaking out. But know he can scream it out loud...well at least say it loud. Ever since Ben, Carlos came out of his shell a little bit at a time.

"I dated Jane cause at the time I didn't want people to know." Carlos explained.

Ben still hiding around the corner. Started to feel better, good enough to know nothing bad was going to happen. As he was turning to go back to the dorm. He ran into some strong force blocking his path. Harry, Gil, and Uma were standing right behind him waiting.

"What are you doing Ben ?" asked Gil

"Nothing much what are you guys doing ?" Ben asked

"We're here to make sure Diego doesn't tell Carlos anything to Carlos he shouldn't hear." Uma explained

"You mean about Carlos's father and his power? " Ben asked

The three were schocked as to he knew about that.

"Who told you about that ? " asked Uma

"Evie told me a few days ago, why do you ask ?" asked the king

"She wasn't spouse to open her mouth damn it." Harry said angrily. Harry was so enraged he pushed the brick wall. His knuckles busted open with blood. Going all over the wall and his hand.

"Oh my Harry !" said Gil quick to help Harry.

Ben was finally done being in the dark. He wanted...he need to know what was going on with his soon to be husband. And he wanted to know now.

"Harry, Gil Fairy God Mother's office is in the front of the school just walk in and its the first set of doors you see. " Ben explained

The three got ready to head off. Until Ben grabbed Uma by the arm and held her back as Harry and Gil went to the office.

"You're not going anyware until you tell me eveything and I mean everything damn it. " Ben said in a stern voice to Uma.

Uma looked down in regret.

"Trust me Ben I think its best if you didn't find out." Uma said trying to walk off.

But Ben still had his hand around Uma's arm.

"Uma damn it just tell me what the hell you know, please. " pleaded Ben

"Ok fine, I'll tell you, but you didn't hear it from me ok ?" Uma responded.

Ben let go of Uma's arm. And begun to listen.

" Carlos's father Clayton, and his mother Cruella both had a common enemy. My mother Ursla on day my mom cursed Cruella while she was still pregnant with Carlos. The curse wasn't form Cruella it was for Carlos." Uma explained.

"Go on" said Ben

"Well Carlos's father hates magic and Cruella knew that. So she just told him she had a miscarriage. Over time Clayton and Cruella ended things. And ever since then she's been hiding Carlos to keep him safe." Uma finished explaining.

"Wait so...what's the curse do?" asked Ben

Uma looked Ben deep in his sea blue eyes and begun to feel sorrow for him.

"Well he...he can...um" Uma tried to explain

"Its ok Uma just tell me." Ben said putting his arm on her shoulder trying to reassure her.

"Ok...well...the curse makes Carlos turn into something else. If he gets to pissed off he blacks out and he turns into this...evil thing that can and will kill you with out a second thought. The way to stop the curs its to make a deal with my mother. And trust me that is damn near impossible." Uma told Ben

"Ok one last question, why are we keeping this a secret ?" asked Ben

"Because we don't know who Carlos will react when he finds out that he is cursed and that his father hates him, and oh ya might try to kill him." Uma said in an ireadted voice.

"Ok, I understand but someday we still geed to tell him about all of this Uma." Ben told her

"I know but...the seven of us have been making sure for years that he didn't find out about any of this." Uma told him

"One day we are going to tell him it may not be today and it may not be tomorrow but we will tell him. He deserves to know." Ben told Uma.

"I know, I know, oh hey by the way a little bird told me that there are going to be another group of kids coming to Aroudon is that true ?" asked Uma trying to change the subject.

"Dose this little bird by any chance where fake furs and is named Carlos ?" the king asked

"Many he dose, maybe he doesn't the point is is it true or not ?" asked Uma impatiently.

"Yes it is they are coming some time tomorrow I think." Ben replied

"Who are they ?" asked Uma

"I don't quite know just yet I just know that it the four that need help the most." Ben replied.

"Oh ok...well I'm gonna go see if Harry is ok I'll see you at the dinner thing see ya." Uma said as she trailed off.

"See ya" Ben respond.

Ben turned around to listen to what the two De Vils were talking about. But when he turned around there was nothing but absolute silence. Diego and Carlos were gone and Ben automatically started to fear the worst.
