Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust; Sequel to Love is Weakness (Carlos De Vil) series

This is Life on the Isle

Evie threw a medium sized rock to reopen the gate and the group followed her up to the loft. Mal was spray painting a wall when she saw them all pile in. The entire loft was covered with spray painted art, with various depictions of the VKs.

"What? Why are you all here?" Demanded the newly purple haired girl. "Where's Ben?"

"Harry took him. Now Uma and her crew have him." Jay answered.

"This never would've happened if you guys hadn't brought him here." Accused Mal.

"We know, Mal. We blew it." Said Carlos, deflated. "And now, Uma wants us to meet her at Ursula's fish dump."

"All of us?" Mal asked, surprised.

"No, just me and you." Clarified Carlos, looking to Raven, who had her arms crossed and was shifting uncomfortably in her chair.

"So, I'm guessing it's not just Uma." Mal surmised.

"No, probably not." Mutttered Carlos, looking sick.

"Great! Now because of you guys, we have to go and deal with Uma and Hartley--and they're punks." Mal ranted, "And, I have to go get Ben."

"You guys can't really go alone!" Interrupted Raven, finding her voice.

"We have to, Black Bird." Argued Carlos, matter of fact.

"Well, I know one thing," said Jay, "We're not going anywhere."

"You guys go get Ben, we'll be here when you get back." Added Evie.

Raven felt like she was going to throw-up, and her face was boiling with anger.

Carlos walked toward her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, kissing her forehead.

"This is ridiculous." She pleaded with him.

"This, is life on the Isle." Countered Carlos.

"Damnit, Ben!" Raven cursed at the King's carelessness, "Stupid, cheesy-grinned, Auradon idiot."

"We have to get him back," expressed Carlos, "And we will. I know you don't say it a lot, but I know he's important to you."

"Like a brother I never wanted." Retorted Raven with her favorite sarcastic defense mechanism. "He would always come to make sure I was okay, even when I was nasty and pushed him away. He never let me truly scare him off."

"Carlos! We have to go." Ordered Mal.

"Alright, let's go." Agreed Carlos, as always following their leader.

"Wait," Raven interrupted, grabbing his wrist to pull him closer.

Raven reached up behind Carlos' neck and pulled him down for a deep kiss. Carlos wrapped his arms around the Pixie and breathed in her floral scent that he loved, savoring the honey flavor of her kiss.

"Just remember, that you're mine." Reminded Raven, with his own words.

"Always." Replied Carlos.
