Hooks and Fairy Cages

Beasty Boy Ben

"E-enjoy what exactly?" I wish those words had never left my lips. I wish Harry would release his grip. I wish friends were here. I wish my mother was too. Hell, I wish everything was different.

He gripped my throat tight and pulled me off the wall and pushed me down onto his bed. "This." He smirked.

Every instinct I had told me to run, to do something. But I didn't. He took off his red leather jacket and tossed it on the floor, along with his hat and shirt.

My mind was racing as he climbed on top of me like a starved lion. He smirked down at me, watching my pale eyes as if they told him every answer in the universe.

I wasn't even crying anymore, my emotions however weren't mistaken. I was petrified of what was about to happen. Shaking all over. "If ye even try te shrink or escape, I will go back te that little friend of yours and make you watch as I carve out her chest. Mm?"

My heart dropped at his menacing words and a single tear left my eye. "I'll b-be good. I-I swear." I whispered.

He placed his hook between my breasts and tore my clothes to shreds without grazing me once.

I couldn't believe what was happening. I didn't struggle, for Dizzy's sake.

Just as he went to unfasten his belt, a knock on the door seemed to save me. "This isn't over," He promised, kissing my cheek softly, before standing up.

It was Gil at the door, but I still couldn't help but be thankful for his timing. "What?" Harry snapped.

"I saw them!" The pirate exclaimed from the door. "I saw them! Evie, Jay, Carlos and King Ben!"

Harry glanced at me, catching my hopeful expression before I could hide it behind my tear struck face.

He glared at me then closed the door, locking it behind him, leaving me bare chested on his bed. That was too close. He almost...

I couldn't help but wonder why my friends had returned. Had Dizzy somehow called for their help,or had it nothing to do with me?

I had to get out of here. I couldn't let him do that to me. So I shrank myself, looking for a hole somewhere in the ship. I soon found one in the floorboards.

It wasn't ideal, but Harry would never find me there, I jumped inside and to my shock and horror, the drop was longer than expected. Luckily I landed on something soft.

Looking at my surroundings, I realized where I was. On an old grimy bed, in a cell, in the ship's brig.

I was thankful no one was around to see me, giving me a chance to hide again. I would wait until nightfall before I tried escaping again.

I hid in the small gap between the mattress and the wall. Immediately, I tried fixing the shirt Harry had ripped, tying it in a small knot at the front.

A few hours hours had gone and passed and I was just about to get up from my sitting position when I heard a lock click.

The cell door opened and a body was thrown inside. Then whoever bought it down here, left quickly without a word.

I heard a groan and immediately knew it was a boy. I slowly got out of my hiding place and made myself big again, in case he wasn't fairy friendly.

"A-are you okay?" I asked quietly.

He jumped in surprise at the sound of my voice. "I'm fine... I'm Ben, who are you?"

Ben... Where did that name sound familiar? Why did he seem nice? "I'm Vixy... What are you in for?"

Ben sighed after a few seconds thought, clearly realizing he had no reason to lie to me as we were both stuck here.

"I came from Auradon because I went all beasty with someone I love... I blew it... She came back here and pushed me away when I came after her... Then I got captured by pirates."

That hadn't at all been what I expected. "S-so it's true? Mal, and the others... They're back." They hadn't come for me then. "Y-you're king Ben?"

He nodded, "Yeah... So, what are you in for?" He asked.

I sighed, then glanced up, where the tiny crack I fell through caught my eye. "I fell through that small hole in the ceiling."

Ben frowned. "What? How?"
Instead of explaining in words, I decided to show him, shrinking myself into fairy form. "Oh... Why don't you just fly out of here then?"

I bit my lip sadly. "I haven't been able to fly for a couple of years now. My mother and I were the only fairies on the isle... Sh-she's gone now and I can't make pixie dust."

"I'm sorry..." He frowned. "So, uh... Why are you here, on the ship then?"

Before I could reply, there was a loud crashing sound from above us. He had clearly realized I'd escaped.

"Harry." I spat, gesturing towards the crashing sound. "I've been on the run from him since my mother died and he finally caught me this morning. I need to get away from here before he finds me. He sounds pissed..." Then the door upstairs slammed. Harry had left his cabin.

I was glad that it was Ben sitting before me and not some lunatic from the isle. "Wait... Mal told me about you." He stated. "She felt so bad leaving you behind, knowing you were on the run... We were meant to come back for you. I'm so sorry."

I shrugged. "I-It doesn't matter now... We have to escape before-"

"Before what?" A voice snapped from outside the cell.

"Harry..."

"Come here." He ordered. I didn't move, shaking from the shock. "Don't make me come in there, Vixy." He snarled. "You wouldn't like that."

Slowly, I made my way towards him, only to have Ben intervene. "Leave her alone."

Harry chuckled. "Oh, beasty boy showing his feisty side, ey?" He pulled out his sword, aiming it at Ben's chest through the bars. "Vixy, get over here. Now."

I solemnly obeyed, shaking with fear. "H-Harry... Please. I'm sorry. Ok? It wont happen again."

He picked me up roughly off the ground, holding me a little too tightly. "Damn right it wont. Ye never leaving my side again."
