[3rd Person POV]

The 3 VKs huddled around the oak dining table in King Ben's castle, thinking of what they should do next. "We could send some guards out there, they can save him," Carlos said. "Or, we can go to the isle and get him ourselves," Evie added. "Although that would be a solution, we have a small problem," Jay started. "Mal is evil again, who knows what will happen when we go down there ourselves?"

"But, Ben's our friend! And Mal is our sister! We have to go to the isle!" Evie bursted. Carlos and Jay agreed, but they still had to figure out a way to stop Mal before she could hurt Ben. "Remember when Mal got scared of storms, and Ben was there to comfort her?" Carlos asked the other two teenagers. "Or when she ever put herself down, Ben always said things that made her smile?" "Yeah, if we can convince Ben to really talk to Mal, maybe she'll snap out of it," Jay said.

"So, it's settled. We return to the isle tonight," Evie whispered. They all rested up that afternoon, so they could be wide awake for the upcoming confrontation with Mal later.

[Ben's POV]

I struggled against the tight ropes that clung to my arms. Mal did a really good job at knots. She came up to me with an evil grin on her pale face. "Oh, Bennyboo, you won't be able to escape, I've got you tied up." I looked down at my hands that started becoming red. "You're right about that, Mal. But, why are you doing this?"

She opened her eyes widely and grabbed my cheek. "Aww, you haven't figured it out yet? I'm evil! And I will always be evil! Just like my mother!" She slowly started to walk away.

"You're nothing like you're mother! You're good, and you'll always be good!" I yelled. She stopped suddenly and turned towards me. "I don't know what's gotten into you, Ben, but I am not good at all! I'm rotten to the core!" She untied me and held me tightly.

"I was going to wait for the others until sundown, but you're already asking to walk off that plank!" She took me to Uma's ship, The Lost Revenge.

I was totally in for it now...
