Captured

Chapter 8

Carlos' POV
I feel like someone is missing Jay, and I are walking back to the limo. Oh shit, I knew it. "Jay, where's Ben?" Jay stops walking, and we look around. "BEN!?" I yell, then Jay yells it as well then we see his shadow coming from down a dark alleyway.

"Ben, come on, don't scare us like that!" I say.

"Don't scare ye? But that's my speciality" the figure walks out of the dark and into the light, smirking.

"Harry!! What did you do with Ben?" Jay yelled, demanding an answer and stepping towards him. I grab his shoulder.

"Oh, we ah nicked him. Mhmm. If you want the King and Princess back, this is our insurance to ensure we get what we want" Harry's smirk never leaves his face. He chuckles, "awe, and Jay seems like you've lost your touch" Jay jumps at him again, and this time my arm goes in front of his chest, and I give him a look. Harry raises an eyebrow and looks toward me, and barks. Then, he turns on his heels and walks away.

"Come on, Jay, we need to call Mal. This is not good; she will kill us for losing him," racing towards the limo, jumping in the limo and speeding over the magic bridge. I call Evie, knowing Mal would probably take the news better from her than us.

"Carlos, what did you guys mess up now?" she answered after the second ring. Ouch.

"Hello to you too, Evie. Are you by Mal?" I asked.

"No, she is taking a quick shower ?" she says with concern evident in her voice.

"Well, we might have a slight problem, and I thought it would be better if you broke the news to her. She would kill us if we told her."

"what kind of problem, Carlos?" she asked.

"Harry Hook captured King Ben. After Ben wandered off, we thought he was with us until Harry popped out of the shadows and practically threatened us. We are still making the phoney wand. I still think it will work, but we need to make sure that we get Melody and Ben out safely, and It's going to be so hard." she takes a deep breath.

"You're right Mal is going to kill you", she nervously laughs ", but It was probably better that you told me. Don't stress we will get them both back. Continue with the plan and meet us in the old garage, and DON'T get caught." emphasizing on the don't, we say goodbye and hang up.

"Jay, if this doesn't work, we are so screwed. Mal will hate us forever," rubbing my forehead as he parks behind the dorms. We run in and head towards our dorm.

"That's why we don't let losing be an option, got it?" He stops and grabs my shoulder, and looks me in the eyes. I nod, and we continue towards our room.

Third Person POV:
As Jay and Carlos ran through campus to their dorm, Evie held her phone in her hands, thinking about how she would tell Mal that Uma and Harry now have Ben.

"Hey Mal, um, I have some bad news..." she said, rehearsing how to start the conversation out loud. "Mal, we need to talk..." she began again but shook her head no. "That sounds like her mom died or something." She mumbled to herself. She sat on her bed and laid back, huffing in frustration.

"M, this will sound bad, but Harry captured Ben." She said quietly. "Ugh, why did this happen as if we don't already have enough going on." She closes her eyes, not noticing Mal leaning up against the wall by the entrance to Evie's room.

"What happened now?" Mal asked, scaring Evie. She jumped up quickly with wide eyes.

"Hey, Mal, how long have you been standing there?" Evie asked nervously. Mal smirks at her best friend. "Only long enough to hear that something else horrible happened, and you are trying to figure out how to tell me," Mal answered Evie with her arms crossed.

Evie looks down at her hands. "M, we need to talk," she said, patting a spot next to her on her bed. Mal walks over and sits next to her with her arms still crossed. "I feel like this is an intervention. Come on, Evie, what's wrong?"

"You have to promise me not to kill or hate anyone in the gang for what has happened," Evie says with pleading eyes. Mal looks into her eyes, then nods, and Evie continues, "M... Harry and Uma captured Ben" Mal's eyes go wide, and she stares at her best friend. "Mal?" No answer. "M, please say something."

"How did it happen?" She asked rather calmly, which scared Evie a little.

"Well, um, He and the guys were on their way to the car when they realized Ben wandered off again and the Harry appeared and told them we better not try telling on them, or Mel and Ben would both be fed to the sharks but don't worry they are working on the wand now. We will get them both back unharmed. Same plan as before, we need to make sure we get them both while we give Uma the phoney wand." Mal nods

"I trust us, and the guys will do everything we can to get them back." Mal smiles. 'Wow, that went a lot better than I expected, Evie thought, and they both went to bed. It was 2:30 in the morning, and they needed some sleep before going to battle.

Over in Auradon, Jay and Carlos were arguing with Chad Charming. For the third time, he had gone into their dorm without asking. Although they wanted him out of their room, they had no time to waste. So, they pushed Chad to the side and started to make a phoney wand with their 3D printer. Chad was closely watching over their shoulder.

"Why are you guys making Fairy Godmother's wand?" He asked
"Oh. Uh, why are we making
Fairy Godmother's wand?" Jay asked, looking at Carlos with a panicked looked while none of them noticed the daughter of Mulan passing by their room.
"Because, uh..." Carlos stalls
"Ben and princess Melody has been captured!" Dude, his dog finished before he could think of something else to say.
"What?!" Chad shouted Jay, and Carlos sighed. "Dude can talk?"

"I was stalling." Carlos said, looking at Dude, and Dude replied, "I thought you forgot."

The two villain kids go into panic mode. "Don't tell anyone!" Carlos started, and Jay finished, "Ben and Mel's lives depend on it" Lonnie had been listening in on their conversation. After hearing Ben was in trouble, she left to gather some things together.
"Really?" Chad started. "So, if something were to happen, you know what I'm saying... Something bad," he trailed off. Jay rolled his eyes.

"We get it."

"God forbid. But if something were to happen, who do you think I would be in line to be king?" Both Jay and Carlos looked at each other with shocked and annoyed looks. Jay walks towards the door and holds it open.

"Is it me, or is that in really poor taste?" Jay points out the door, and Carlos pushes Chad towards it. "I'm taking this. And if you think I--" Jay slams the door in his face.

"Thank you, Jay." Says Carlos, and they get back to printing the wand.

Uma's POV:
It's around 2 am, and it's been an hour since the princess tried to escape. She was very close to ruining everything. Harry and I were in the kitchen taking shots of our own. When we lookout, and she's gone, so was Harry's sword. We run out of the shoppe and start walking in the shadows. We knew she would run, and we gave her our hangover free, fast-acting, knock out drink. We use it a lot on the locals that get super drunk then hit on the ladies in the crew or me. With how fast she drank it, she has about 25 minutes before she starts losing her sight and 45 before she is entirely out.

I turn toward Evie's old territory and see Melody walking up to Lady Tremaine's salon. I sprint to get Harry and tell him. He quietly goes and puts a hand tightly around her mouth and whispers something in her ear. We both say a few scary things to her as she loses her vision. He then starts dragging her by her hair but to the shoppe and well, you know the rest.
