His Darkside

Chapter Thirteen

A/N can I just say it is SO WEIRD AND ABNORMAL to write Ben like this, I just wanted to let you know how uncomfortable it is. He is normally a nice guy and I portray him like that...well...

Also I am sorry if my 'action' scenes don't make sense, I am more of a 'imagine it' person than describing.

Enjoy!

Ben's POV

I have gotten used to this routine now.

During the day I would do my kingly duties, keeping an ear out for the current threats.

And then at night I would hunt them down, killing them, putting Auradon at peace once again.

'You're bringing justice, you are doing a good job' the voice said 'crime rates have dropped massively since you stepped in. You are what the people need'

Because of these murders, people have very mixed opinions on it.

Most think it's wrong and the person should be punished.

The others get what I am doing, I am trying to save Auradon from future chaos, so they support me.

It has caused a little bit of an uproar, especially in the council.

Most people are concerned and want the 'justice', while people like Aurora do not mind the the person, as they are doing what needs to be done.

I walked, blending into the shadows, the clouds covering the moonlight.

Today's target is someone who tried to break into the castle today, almost shot Mal.

I had to fight the urge to attack the man then.

I was luckily enough to catch his scent and what he looked like and when he was escaping from the guards.

My heightened senses tracked him to an abandoned log house near the bridge to the Isle on the Isle land.

I smirked behind a tree as he came out, causally singing a tune as he was putting his clothes on the line, confusing me.

I quickly looked around, checking to see if anyone was around.

I knew the guards have a 15 minute change so I have to be quick.

I swiftly and quietly moved to the side of the cabin, the man not even noticing me.

I slowly, back against the wall, went towards the target.

I felt something crack under my foot, making my widen my eyes with alarm.

'You just gave away your position!' The voice snapped in my head.

"Who's there?" The voice said, footsteps on the wooden floor coming towards me.

I smirked, maybe I can use this to my advantage.

I summoned my claws as he turned around the corner.

I grabbed him into the shadows, making him yell.

I covered his mouth, him widening his eyes at me.

He could not recognise me if he wanted to.

I am wearing my Isle clothes, but wearing a cloth over my mouth so I don't get blood in my mouth.

It has happened before, it's disgusting.

And I was also int he dark.

"This is what you get for trying to attack the queen" I said, my voice cold and unrecognisable and I sliced his throat.

Quick and painless.

My claws almost decapitate him, making me smirk as I slammed his body onto the ground.

Using his blood I put my symbol up; a bloody claw line.

Now I'll just leave the body there, for the guards to find.

I walked out in front of the cabin, the moonlight now shining on me.

'Good job' the voice said as I took my cloth off.

"Yeah, I-"

"K-King B-Ben?"

I snapped my head behind me to see Captain Hook, making me widen my eyes as I put my claws in.

"What are you doing out here?" Captain Hook asked "And why do you have blood on you boy?"

His eyes went to were the dead body is, making him gasp.

Before he finished his gasp, I rushed over to him and put my bloody glove on his mouth.

"Do not say anything too loud" I snarled "Or I will kill you"

I took my hand away, standing very close to Captain Hook.

He was just staring at me with disbelief.

"Are you behind all of it?" He asked, his voice wavering in fear.

I nod.

"Why?" He asked.

"Auradon has opened its borders yet people abused the power" I said coldly, which shocked him "I'm only doing that no one else wants to do?"

"Kill people who defy you?" Captain Hook asked, confused "Ben, that isn't the way to-"

"Most of these people want to kill my wife" I snapped, making him jump "The guy I just killed, almost succeeded today"

Captain Hook sighed.

"I really hope you can stop and reflect on this King Ben, and then you will realise what you have done" Captain Hook said softly "And how it will effect the people you love"

"I am protecting the people I love" I stated coldly.

Without warning to him, I summoned my Claws and stabbed in through the stomach, making him gasp.

"I do like you Hook" I stated emotionlessly "However you will run off and tell everyone, and I cannot allow that"

I took the claw out and he dropped to the floor, gasping for air.

"Sweet dreams sea captain" I said, saluting him as I walked off, back into the shadows.

'You killed him?' The voice asked.

"Why do you sound shocked?" I asked as I came across the ocean, wiping the blood away from my clothes "He was going to tell someone, and we would be done for"

The voice chuckled, almost with surprise.

'You are accepting this far better than I thought' the voice admitted 'I thought you would fight it'

I shrugged.

"I cannot change what what is fated and besides, criminals deserve to die" I answered.

I paused for a second, actually thinking about what just happened.

I killed my victim...and then I killed the Captain Hook.

I groaned, putting my wet gloves onto my face.

"I only just got on the good side of Harry Hook, he's going to kill me if he finds out"
