Always by your side - a Descendants story (Bal)

Chapter 7

Mal's POV

Ben and I had dinner with his parents the other night for the first time.

Ben's parents went to the main living room after we finished dinner and left Ben and me alone.

'Do you want a tour of the house?' He asked me.

'Sure, Florian,' I said grinning.

'Haha very funny, Bertha,' he said sarcastically, then we both laughed.

'Come on, I wanna show you the castle,' he said and dragged me through the castle. After a few hours, we finally came to the last room. My feet hurt as hell.

'Are we almost done? I don't feel my feet anymore and I'm tired' I whined. Ben chuckled.

'Just one more room and then you can get your beauty sleep, princess,' he told me chuckling.

He opened the door of the last room and we walked inside. It was a big room with dark blue walls and a wooden bed. The blue bed sheets were decorated with little yellow crowns. In the room were also a few bookshelves, and in the corner of the room was a sitting area with a few lazy chairs.

'So, this is my room,' he jumped onto the bed and left me, standing in doorway with my mouth hanging open.

'This, is your room?' I said impressed. 'My whole house would've fit in this room. Not that my house was really big or something, but still.'

Ben chuckled. 'Yeah, it's quite big, I guess.'

I walked towards Ben and sat beside him on the bed.

'So, do you like my house?' he asked.

'I wouldn't call this a house,' I grinned.'But, yeah, it's beautiful.'

I gave him a hug and he kissed me. I kissed back, none of us wanted to let go. He hold me tighter and it got more and more passionated, but after a while we seperated. We smiled at each other and laid down on the bed. I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes as I slowly fell asleep.

Uma's POV

It was around 2 am when I arrived at the Isle. I covered the limo and went to the fish and chips restaurant. The room was filled with a crowd of very noisy pirates, but when they saw me they went immediately quite. Everyone was hopefully staring at me.

'I have some good news!' I yelled and sat down in my blue chair. Everyone walked towards me and stand in a circle around me.

'I have something y'all might like to see,' I said grinning and showed them the spellbook. Then all pirates yelled, laughed, talked and cheered.

'Alright! Silence! Now, I would like to explain my plan to you, so listen up!' I shouted as everyone went silence again.

'So, tonight we go to Auradon with the limo. Then we're gonna gather some wapens, like potions, smoke bombs and other magic stuff. And in the end, so in like a few months, we'll gonna "borrow" Fairy Godmother's wand. And then they're going down, because this time, nothing or no one will stop us!' I shouted.

Everyone cheered and we ran to the limo to go to Auradon. But, as expected, not everyone fitted in the limo. So we had to drive a few time there and back. When everyone was in Auradon, we headed to the forest and with some help of Mal's spellbook, I could make a good hiding place for us. From there we put our plan in effect.

Ben's POV

I pulled the blanket over Mal. I couldn't sleep, so I just stared at the ceiling for a while. It was very quiet, the only sound came from Mal, who was quietly snoring. I looked at her. She was peacefully asleep, being cuter than she already was.

A lot of thoughts were going through my head. About, someday soon we would have our own castle, rule together over Auradon and, although it was far away, we would have our own family. I smiled, and with that thoughts, I also finally fell asleep.

Mal's POV

When I opened my eyes the next morning, Ben wasn't beside me anymore. I got up and put on the slippers that lay next to the bed.

I walked out of the room, but then remembered that I didn't know the way in this "house". I decided to just go and then see where my gut would bring me.

At each hallway where I had to pick left, right or straight, I just randomly picked one. After about twenty minutes of wandering around the castle and asking some servants, I finally found the kitchen. I heard people yelling.

"How many times do I have to tell you, nothing happened?!" I heard Ben yelling.

"Ben..." Beast began.

"No, I don't want to hear it anymore! If you don't trust your own son, then I'll go. Bye."

"Ben!" His mother yelled."Come back. We can talk about it. Ben!"

I heard Ben coming closer to the door

'Oh, hi Mal,' he said nervously when he opened the door. 'How long exactly have you been standing there?'

You could see on his face that he was still a little upset.

'A minute or so. What was that all about?' I asked.

'Oh, uhh nothing, just a little disagreement,' he said obviously lying.

'Ben, you know you can tell me anything,' I said looking into his eyes.

'It's just... my parents are just a little overprotective, that's all,' he assured me.

'Overprotective... about what?' I said. Little did I know what this was all about.

'About me and you. You know, spending the night together. They are just afraid for, you know, an "accident". And I've told them a thousand times, "nothing happened", but they just don't believe me,' he said hanging his head.

I rubbed his back.'It's okay. I think they just want you to not rush things,'

'But I'm not a little child anymore, in fact, I am the king,' he said.

'I know, but you're still their child. They're just concerned about you, just like most parents,' I tried to comfort him.

He hugged me.'I'm sorry,' he said.

'For what?' I asked him still hugging him tightly.

'Complaining about my parents, when your mother is a lizard,' he said.

I chuckled a little.'Well, that was her own fault. And I don't need her, I have you and my friends, who care about me.'

He smiled.'Let's go back to my room to get ready. Then we can grab some breakfast in the city.'

After we got ready we spend the rest of the day together in Auradon city. We walked through the streets of Auradon city, shopped, talked, laughed. Ben had totally forgotten about the argument with parents. At the end of the day he dropped me of at my dorm and he went back to his own dorm. I sat down on my bed and sighed. It had been a good day, I just hoped Ben would make up with his parents.
