Magic (Ben Beast Love Story)

Audrey

After Ben said those words he quickly motioned us to follow him while pulling me along with him. This seemed to make Audrey mad so I quickly let go and hoped she wouldn't make it such a big deal. Gladly she only started hanging off of Ben seemingly trying to get me to figure out something. Me, being the clueless person I am, I didn't get what she was trying to tell me.

"Auradon Prep. Built 300 years ago and converted into a high school by my father when he became king. " Ben said and then clapped his hands. The statue of King Beast turned into Beast in his beast form.

This was so abrupt that I screamed. It seems that I wasn't the only one to scream but for some reason, my magic lashed out and turned the statue back into the human version of King Beast.

Everyone looked at me shocked. I myself was in shock too. "I'm sorry I guess my magic took my fear and fixed what gave me fear in the first place. I really didn't mean to." I said shyly.

Everyone just gave me a blank look, besides Ben. Ben walked up to me and asked, "Are you okay? I didn't know that would scare you that bad." I just looked at him quizzing.

"No, I'm fine. Nothing to worry about. It just scared me because it was so sudden." I said looking into his eyes. Ben looked at me intensely and looked like he was about to say something when all of a sudden Audrey was between us, glaring at me.

I looked down as soon as I saw the hostile look in her eyes. I knew that look in her eyes. I always saw it when one of the kids on the isle was getting ready to attack me. So when I fully registered that look I was quickly behind one of the other kids that came with me. I didn't see which one but all I knew was that it was someone tall.

Once I was fully behind the person the other three villian kids came to stand next to the one I was behind. They seemed to be glaring at Audrey. I was curious as to why they seemed so intent on protecting me so I peeked over the tall kid's shoulder, even though I had to get on my tippy toes. What I saw shocked me.

Ben was holding Audrey's hand that was in the air. If I was in front of her she would have been ready to slap me. This confused me. What did I do to her that made her want to hit me? I was going through the last ten minutes in my brain. Trying to figure out what I did to make Audrey hate me.

After I didn't remember anything that would make her hate me enough to hate me, I focused back on the situation. Ben looks extremely angry at Audrey and I realized I was standing behind that tall kid that tried to flirt with me in the limo.

The tall kid looked to be one of the angriest of the VK's that came and that just confused me even more. I couldn't focus on this confusion though because I heard a slight commotion from Audrey.

When I looked up Audrey was crying and Ben looked furious. "How dare you try to hit a defenseless girl! She has done nothing to deserve your hatred." Ben said, talking like a true king.

I, for some reason, found this extremely hot.

My face was beet red and I was looking down hoping no one would notice. While I was looking down I heard Audrey run away.

The next thing I know I saw the same black shoes from earlier in front of me. I just kept looking down because I was beet red.

Sadly Ben had other plans. He lifted up my face with his hand and asked, "Are you okay? She didn't hurt you right?" I just nodded my head because I didn't trust my voice right now. "Words," he demanded.

"I-I'm fine," I said stuttering because of how close he was. I wasn't used to being this close to anyone besides my dad and that was just hugs. 

He smirked at my stuttering and went to say something but was cut off by someone clearing their throat. 

I looked up quickly when I remembered that there were four other kids close to us. 

When I saw their faces I looked down and avoided eye contact. Ben just cleared his throat and put a smile on his face. 

The girl with the purple hair looked serious, " So you guys have a lot of magic here in Auradon? Like wands and things like that?" She said once we got into the front entrance. 

Ben looked back at her and said, "Yeah, it exists of course, but it is pretty much retired. Most of us here are just ordinary mortals."

I looked at him shyly and asked, "I will need to use my magic often so it doesn't go out of control, is that okay?"

He smiled at me, "Of course that is okay. I understand if you need to do that. I have already seen that you have a lot of magic and as long as you don't use it to cheat in your classes it should be fine." He said while patting me on the head.

I looked him in the eyes again, because he was holding my chin, and blushed. "Thank you D-Ben." This mess up just made me blush brighter and look to the side. 

I was yelling at myself in my head because I could've just ruined everything. He is going to realize how much of a freak I am and he is going to send me back to the isle. I am so stupid.

While I was yelling at myself in my head, Ben was looking at me with a soft smile on his face already knowing what I was going to call him. Ben quickly composed himself.

"Well, I guess it is time to show you to your rooms!" Ben said with a big smile on his face. His mind running at a mile a minute trying to find out what he will do to see the soft side of Riley again.
