Ben bumps into a teenage boy about our age and we scramble to catch up with him. "Hey man," Ben says. I guess Jay recognizes the boy, because he pulls me behind him and Evie.
"Hey! Hey...I know you."
Ben shrugs nonchalantly, "Nah. Don't know you either, man."
"Uh, yeah, you do. Come on, man. Really? Dude, I'll give you a hint. My dad is quick, slick, and his neck..." He gestures to his neck, "Huh? Is incredibly thick." My eyes widen.
He's Gaston's son!
"Come on, man. I know..." He notices a poster of Ben and Mal and points from Ben to the poster and back again.
"Oh, you're King Ben!" When Jay moves to pull Ben back, he catches sight of me, "And you're Princess Brielle! Yeah, yeah, you're totally them and you're Jay, Carlos, and Evie. Hey guys."
Jay pulls me away and EVie and Carlos drag Ben away. I can't believe I met my Mom and Dad's enemy's son. I hate Gaston, but his son...I don't hate him.
We reach the place Evie said Mal might be. Ben looks back at us, "Wish me luck." Jay points up, "All the way up." We watch him go all the way up and then I ask, "Who was that boy? Gaston's son? What's his name?"
"Gil," Evie sighs. I nod and we wait patiently. After a few minutes, Ben comes back...alone.
"Well?" Evie asks.
Ben looks so distraught, "She's not coming back."
"What?!" Evie gasps as Ben walks down an alley. "I'll get him," I tell Jay and follow Ben.
"Ben...slow down," I catch up with him and turn him around by his shoulders.
"Brie...I really wanna be alone. She's not coming back." I sigh, "Ben, I understand. But we aren't leaving until she leaves. Okay? We won't leave you here to figure this out alone."
That's when I notice a dark figure walking towards us. A hook wraps around Ben's neck. A handsomely scary pirate smiles in Ben's face, "Hello...my King." He looks at me and I turn to run, but he grabs my wrist. Painfully hard. Gil drags Ben away and the pirate smiles at me, "Come with me, gorgeous. Let's have some fun with your friends.

Carlos looks down the alley, "Guys. Where's Ben and Brielle?"
Evie looks down the alley, too, "Ben? Brie?"
They see two figures walking towards them and they sigh in relief. "Don't scare us like that," Evie scolds.
"Don't scare you, aye?" Harry brings his head up and next to him- her mouth tape shut and arms bound- is Brielle. She looks mad and more annoyed than scared.
"Harry," Evie breathes, annoyed.
"What did you do with Ben?" Jay questions, his eyes flickering between Brielle and Harry.
"Oh, uh, we nicked him. Mm-hmm. And his sister here. Yeah, and if you want to see him again, have Mal come to the Chip Shoppe tonight. Alone. Uma wants a little visit."
He grins at Brie, "Aren't you having a lovely time...Queen?"
Brie kicks his knee with her heel and he giggles, "Had to tape her mouth shut. She got too sassy."
He notices Jay looking at Brielle with concern and realizes the tough, hardcore villain had a crush, "Aw, Jay. Seems like you've lost your touch."
Jay goes to hit him, but Evie holds him back. Harry gasps mockingly and giggles before leaving with a struggling Brielle.
A/N- Really short chapter, ik. Really sorry! But I have Spanish in 5 minutes and had to write this quickly. Hopefully I will update a longer chapter tomorrow!
