Love is Weakness; A Carlos De Vil Love Story. Book 1.

Dating, Ears, and Other Problems

The night was a blur. So much had happened.

Did all of that happen? Was Carlos starting to embrace his goodness? Or, was it just in the confusion of the moment--that they declared their love for one another?

Raven's head was spinning. This is why she remembered that she didn't want to get involved, not just with a villain-- but with anyone. Too many feelings, thoughts, and upcoming awkward conversations.

What am I going to say to him? Where do we even begin? Are we together now? Does he want that? Do I want that?

It was Saturday, so Raven decided to take the day away from the world and just relax in her room. Raven put her curled tri-colored hair up in a messy bun, which she never did on account of her ears; but decided that she planned to see no one today, so she was safe. She put on a pair of green boho leggings, a black cropped hoodie; and just some mascara and some clear gloss for make-up.

She cracked open a book, and laid on her bed listening to the birds outside of her window. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Nobody's home!" Yelled Raven.

"Open up, it's important!" Shouted a girl.

"Mal?" Asked Raven, incredulously.

Oh, man. I hope Mal isn't coming here to like--try and kick my ass for telling Carlos that I love him, she worried.

Raven opened the door and there was a visibly shaken Mal now entering her room. Mal didn't ask before walking in further.

"Oh, please come in." Chirped Raven, sarcastically.

"Alright, so, you're a villain, but you seem to understand "love" and stuff; and I don't know what to do." Exclaimed Mal, before suddenly stopping in surprise, "What's up with your ears?"

"What exactly are you asking?" Demanded Raven, growing impatient and ignoring Mal's ear comment.

"Ben asked me out on a date." Said Mal.

"And, you're telling me this because...wait, wasn't that your whole plan?" Raven surmised.

"Carlos told you?" Demanded Mal, betrayal on her face.

"No, he didn't. But, I'm a Pixie. I can sense magic, and I felt that love spell from a mile away. Also, Ben's my friend...sort of, and he never does stuff like that." Explained Raven.

"That explains the roots in the museum," Mal surmised, and Raven nodded. "Oh, and that's why the freaky ears!"

Raven rolled her eyes.

"Can we just drop the subject of my ears?" She demanded, impatiently.

"Yeah, whatever. So, will you help me?" Pressed Mal.

"If it's fake love, why are you so nervous? Just carry out your evil plan. It shouldn't be hard. Continue to use him for your parent's evil agenda, until all of Auradon is under the thumb of the worst villains possible." Raven passive aggressively chatted on. "I mean, it doesn't take much convincing to control a guy under a love spell."

Mal was at a loss for words.

"So... you and Carlos...?" Mal started.

"Nope, off limits. If I agree to help you, you have to lay off that subject." Raven interjected.

"Fine." Muttered Mal

"Okay, first-- we are going to need Evie..." Said Raven.
