Down With Auradon

Rescue Mission

Ben was walking through the woods holding his bow up. 

"Jane?! Jane where are you?!" Ben was calling. 

"Are you looking for Jane?" Gaston asked from behind Ben.

Ben quickly turned around to him aiming the bow at Gaston. "Gaston? What are you doing here? Do you know where is she?" Ben was asking.

"Yeah. She came to my place and I went out when I heard you." Gaston answered.

"So can you take her to me?" Ben asked.

"Yeah. Of course. Come on." Gaston lead Ben back to the house. 

Ben walked in first looking around. "So where is she?" Ben turned back around to Gaston. 

Gaston hit Ben over the head with a frying pan knocking him out. 

A few hours later when Ben woke up he was tied up to a chair with tape over his mouth. He could hear screaming coming from the outside. 

"Let me go! Mal!" Was what Ben could hear. 

"Hey Ben found you a roommate." Gaston said and threw Audrey to the floor in front of Ben. 

"Ben! I'm scared." Audrey tried crawling to Ben, but Gaston grabbed her before she could get close. 

"You're gonna stay right here." Gaston said tying Audrey up to a chair beside Ben. "I'll be right back. You two get comfortable." He ripped the tape of Ben and locked the door.

"Audrey are you okay? Where's Mal?" Ben asked after Gaston left.

"I'm okay, I guess. But I don't know where Mal is now. We were together and we left this house, but then Gaston found us and took me." Audrey explained. "I'm just glad I'm with someone like you."

"Me too." Ben agreed nodding. "We need to find a way out though."

"So I believe Gaston's hideout is up this way." Mal said leading the way. 

"Mal are you sure about this? You seem like you need rest. Are you sure you don't want to rest and we can deal with this?" Evie suggested.

"No! I know where Gaston's hideout is. And I need to be there when we save Ben and Audrey. I want to see Ben first." Mal answered. 

"Okay if you're sure." Evie said as her and Carlos shrugged. 

"Oh here I grabbed these." Evie said throwing Mal a bat and giving Carlos the other one. 

"Good. These will come in handy." Mal nodded.

"Excuse me, but I would just like to borrow the king if you don't mind." Gaston said pulling Ben's chair out into the kitchen. 

He locked the door again after taking Ben out. 

"What do you with us?!" Ben asked yelling.

"What do I want?" Gaston asked shocked. "The only thing I've ever wanted. Your mother to be my wife." 

"Well I'm sorry that's not going to happen." Ben told him.

"Yeah thanks to that beast of a father." Gaston rolled his eyes.

"Look I understand you might be mad, but that doesn't mean you should take out on us especially Audrey." Ben said.

"You know Ben. I could've been your father, but no! She had to choose the beast over me!" Gaston yelled.

He leaned down to Ben's level. And Ben glanced up at him. 

"And if I can't be with her. Maybe she doesn't deserve to have her son either." Gaston punched Ben in the face real herd. 

Ben was knocked out for a bit, but then woke up. Until Gaston did it again actually knocking him out. 

Gaston pulled Ben's chair back into the room and Audrey almost started crying seeing Ben not moving. 

"Did you kill him?!" Audrey yelled asking.

"Nah. Just knocked him out." Gaston replied so casual.

"Come on guys keep up. We need to find them." Mal was yelling back to the three.

"Mal can we take a break? Even Dude is tired." Carlos said holding Dude's leash.

"Fine you four can stop and take a break, but I'm gonna keep going until I find them." Mal replied.

"Hold on." Evie whispered before running to catch up with Mal. "Mal do you want to talk?"

"About what?" Mal asked looking over.

"About this whole thing. Why you're so desperate to find them." Evie said.

"Well probably because Ben is my boyfriend!" Mal yelled answering.

"Yeah I know about that, but Audrey?" Evie asked.

"Well she told me it was her that we thought Ben was cheating on me with. Turns out it was her throwing herself at him. He didn't want her. So I want to find him and apologize. And find Audrey to also apologize because I hated how I treated her before Gaston took her." Mal explained.

"Well then we're gonna stay on our feet and keep looking." Evie told her. "Come on you three!" She called back to them.

"Thanks E." Mal replied hugging her. 

"Hey guys? Who is that?" Jane called up to them.

Mal and Evie stopped hugging and looked up. 

They saw a boy and a girl running their way. As they got closer they saw it was Jay and Lonnie. 

"Jay! Lonnie!" Carlos and Jane both yelled and ran to them. Then Mal and Evie did the same.

"Hey guys!" Jay said hugging them. "Have any of you seen Gil? We found a letter from Uma to Harry. I guess they were together, then Uma ran off. Then when the three of us were sleeping we think Gil ran off to find them."

"We haven't seen any of them, but we were just about to pay a visit to Gil's father and get Audrey and Ben back." Mal told them.

"Then count us in!" Lonnie replied as Jay agreed. 

"Hello? Uma? Harry?" Gil was calling walking into a house.

"Hey! Help us!" He heard someone yelling. 

"Uma?!" He asked running to the room. He tried opening it, but it was locked.

"Can I help you?" Someone asked. 

Gil turned around to see his father. "Dad? What's going on? Who's locked in there?" 

"Don't worry about that son. I'm just glad you're here and you're okay. Now it's time for us to catch up." Gaston said putting an arm around Gil. 

Gil sat down and Gaston gave him some food. 

"Sorry Gil, but can you excuse me real quick?" Gaston walked over to the door and unlocked it.

Gil heard a girl yelling, then nothing.

Gaston put tape over Audrey's mouth. Then on Ben's for when he wakes up. He walked back out and locked it again. 

Gil pretended he wasn't watching Gaston.

"So tell me son. What's been going on?" Gaston asked and Gil tried not looking at the door.

"Not much longer now." Mal told them.

They walked through the woods and stopped at a house. 

"This is it?" Evie asked. "It looks pretty small."

"Oh this is it." Mal held up the bat, but then Jay handed her a sword instead and gave everyone else one too. "Are we ready?" 

Everyone held up their swords and nodded. Mal walked forward and reached for the doorknob. Before she opened it they heard a gun shot from inside.
