The King and His Queen (Book 2)

The Deal

(A week later)

"Are we all ready to go?" Mal asked before getting in the limo.

"Yeah." Evie answered nodding as she looked at the others. "Ben? Are you coming?"

"What? Oh yeah I'm coming." Ben said and followed them in the limo.

They pulled up to the isle and they all climbed out. 

"Okay everyone go gather up the kids." Mal told them. 

When they walked a different way Ben ran back to the gate and banged on it.

"Who's there?!" Someone yelled. Then Harvey walked up. "Oh it's you again." He rolled his eyes.

"Yeah. I'm here to offer you a deal." Ben told him.

"What kind of a deal?" Harvey asked sounding interested.

"I'll bring you to Auradon and you can be in charge of the guards." Ben offered.

"Like a captain?" Harvey questioned.

"Yeah like a captain. I just need you in Auradon to make sure you're not doing anything Mal." Ben said. 

"Okay. I'll go to Auradon with you. Unlock me." Harvey told him.

"Actually I can't right now, but I'll come back later night." Ben replied.

"Great I have to wait." Harvey pretended to complain.

"Don't worry I'll back in a few hours." Ben promised. "But we have a deal though, right?"

"Yeah. Yeah we do." Harvey said. 

"Okay see you later then." Ben nodded before walking away.

"Yeah when I get to Auradon I'm not doing what he wants. I'm taking over Auradon." Harvey said to the others.

In Auradon they pulled up and all got out. 

"I'll get you guys all settled in." Evie told the new kids.

"Ben where did you go? I was looking for you." Mal asked as they were walking.

"I was looking around." Ben answered.

"On the isle? By yourself?" Mal questioned.

"Yeah. I'm king I'm aloud to do that. Now come on. We need to prepare for your coronation." Ben told her.

Back on the isle Harvey was sitting in his chair watching the other playing darts and getting into fights.

"Harvey!" They heard Hades call. They all ran to hide.

"What's up father?" Harvey asked standing up.

"Where is it?" Hades asked sounding mad.

"Where's what?" Harvey gave him a questioned look.

"Our order of the food? I went to the spot where they normally drop it off, but it wasn't there." Hades explained to him.

"Maybe it's just late, but Dad I have some great news." Harvey started.

"Ugh!b I'm hungry though! You know the god of the underworld has to eat too." Hades cut him off.

"Dad listen!" Harvey blurted out and Hades looked straight at him.

"What?!" Hades yelled asking.

"I'm going to Auradon and I'm gonna take over it and set all the villains free." Harvey explained.

"Yeah that's what the other VKs say." Hades rolled his eyes.

"But Dad I'm not like them. I'm actually going to save us all. I'm leaving tonight. The king is coming. Look Dad I know you want revenge of Uncle Zeus. I do too, but one thing at a time." Harvey said.

"If you actually get into Auradon and set us all free I will actually respect you." Hades promised Harvey. 

"Well then I won't let you down." Harvey replied.

A few hours later as it was starting to get dark Harvey was waiting by the gate for Ben.

"It's about time you got here." Harvey complained.

"Sorry I had to be sneaky and not let anyone know. Except for the driver." Ben replied unlocking the gate. "Oh by the way." Ben waved over three guards. "You need to put these on." 

Harvey looked at the guards and saw them each holding chains to chain Harvey up, so he can't do anything.

"Fine!" Harvey rolled his eyes and waited for Ben to unlock it. Then when it was unlocked Harvey held out his hands together. 

The guards chained his hands together, then his feet. Two of the guards grabbed each of his hands and the other one stood behind Harvey. As they started walking Ben locked the gate back up.

The other guard past the guards to open the door to the limo. 

"Do I get like to eat any of this candy?Or am I just supposed to look at it?" Harvey wondered looking at the candy.

"Oh yeah let him have some candy." Ben told the guards. 

They unchained his hands and let Harvey eat. 

"Is that better?" Ben asked him as Harvey was shoving candy in his mouth.

"Way better." Harvey answered with a fake smile. 

"So when we get to Auradon we're going straight to the council room." Ben explained.

"Ugh why?!" Harvey asked complaining.

"Because we need to talk before you can just be in Auradon." Ben told him.

"Okay fine." Harvey rolled his eyes again before putting another piece of candy into his mouth.

The driver parked the car and stepped out. Before he opened it the guards put the chains back on Harvey's hands. 

Ben stepped out first, then the other guard. Then the two guards holding Harvey stepped out still holding on to Harvey.

"Right through here." Ben pointed to where the council room was. 

Before they could get there Mal walked up. "Ben what's going on here?" 

"Mal! What are you doing awake?! And don't worry about it, but I'll meet you tomorrow. By the enchanted lake." Ben replied trying to make her leave.

Before Mal replied to Ben's questioned she saw Harvey. "Wait Ben is that Harvey?" Mal looked past Ben at Harvey.

"Yes it is. And Mal I will explain later, but he can't do anything to you. He chained up with magical chains." Ben told her.

"Okay. Well I'm gonna go then." Mal said backing away. "Bye Ben!" 

"Well she seems nice." Harvey joked.

"Yeah. Yeah com on." Ben replied leading them into the council room.

"I mean he was standing right there. In front of my own eyes! Harvey!" Mal was telling Evie and Uma, who were both barely awake.

"This is what you dragged me in here for?" Uma asked complaining. "I'm sure you're just seeing this. Like I doubt Ben would bring the person who's messing with his girlfriend to Auradon."

"Yeah M. I think Uma is right." Evie added.

"But I saw him! Right in front of me!" Mal stated.

"Maybe you're just tired like us." Evie said standing up and putting her hand on Mal's shoulder before getting in bed.

"Yeah. So good night!" Uma replied leaving their room. 

"Maybe you're right." Mal said as she got into her bed.

"Alright we're gonna make this quick. Why are you doing this to Mal?" Ben was asking Harvey.

"Look I don't know what you're talking about." Harvey replied.
