Chapter 6: Happily Ever After

Ben's Pov

The Fairy Godmother had called my parents to tell them what happened and they insisted on being there, for me and for him. They brought the Royal Guard with them and they took Audrey and Chad away to the castle to face punishment. I asked that the guards contact their parents and have them come down so that we could discuss a course of action. My parents had a guard send the other students back to the school. The only people that remained were me, my parents and the Headmistress. Mal, Evie and Jay wanted to stay but I told them there was nothing they could do right now. I sent them away with the promise to tell them if anything happened. Once all the politics were done my parents pulled me into their arms and I let myself break down.

"You really liked him didn't you? My mother asked me as she pulled me further into her arms.

"I was falling in love with him" I managed through the tears. I felt them shifting and I just knew that they were sharing a look. They were always good at communicating with their eyes. They pulled away and my father grabbed me by both shoulders and stared me dead in the eye.

"Ben, you can save him"

"How? Audrey said..." My mother cut me off.

"Audrey was right. This can only be broken my True Love's kiss. And if you love him and trusts that he loves you, it will work. When I met your father I thought he was a bitter, heartless beast. But then he saved my life and I began to see the caring, loving side of him and that's who I fell in love with. Carlos took that hit for you and you began to see each other in a different light"

"But what if he doesn't feel the same? Then he'll be stuck like this forever" I cried out, all my worry showing.

"Tell me son: did you ever feel a pain in your chest since the last time you saw Carlos?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Aurora and Snow White once told us that their husbands felt a strong pain when they were put under their sleeping curses. That's because you feel the curse taking over your true love" My father exclaimed.

"Do you really think it will work?" I asked hopefully.

"Do you believe it will work?"

I moved away from my parents and to the coffin where Carlos still laid. I reached out and cupped his cheek that was still warm. I wished in that moment I could look into his eyes and tell him how I felt. But that would have to wait until I woke him up.

"I'm not losing you Carlos. I love you" I leaned down and gave him all the love I could in a single kiss. As soon as they touched I could feel magic flowing through me. It had worked! I pulled away and suddenly Carlos sat up with a gasp. He looked around scared and confused but once his eyes landed on me he pulled me into a hug and squeezed. I pulled him so that his head was resting on my chest and I wanted things to stay like this forever.

"I remember. I know it was Audrey who did this to me"

"I know. She and Chad have been taken care of for now"

"I heard everything too"

I pulled away and stared at him. He actually heard me tell him I love him.

"How? You were still under the curse"

"Audrey found a way to change the curse so that I was aware of everything that was happening around. I guess she wanted me to have exact punishment"

"I had no idea that she could be so..."

"Evil?"

"Yes. Listen I'm sorry that this happened. And if you don't want to be with me..." He stopped me right there with a kiss.

"I would changed anything that happened between us. And besides, since you woke me up you are stuck with me forever" I laughed and leaned so our foreheads were touching.

"I wouldn't want it any other way"

Carlos's Pov

It had been a few days since Ben woke me up from my curse and the news was spreading like wild fire. Most of the people were overjoyed that their future king had found love but others weren't so happy when they discover that this love can in the form of the child of a villain. Some stayed quiet but a few voiced their objections until they were reminded that true love is something you cannot control.

As for Audrey she was expelled from school was Chad was suspended for helping her. Belle and Beast (they said I could call them that) wanted to strip her of her title and banish her from the kingdom but I told them that it was too harsh even for her. I suggested that since she acted like a villain then she should be treated like a villain. My idea was that they send her to live on the Isle of the Lost for a period of time to show her what happens when you show your dark side. They thought it was a great idea and they decided to do it. I also told them that they should put her in a secluded area because if anyone finds out who she is it wouldn't be pleasant, especially if the Evil Queen found out. We did ask her families permission to follow through with our plan and they agreed without hesitation. They told us that their daughter casting a sleeping curse is unforgivable, especially since she knew what they had done to her family.

As for Ben and I we pretty much refused to leave each others side. I couldn't sleep at night without Ben because I was afraid I'd never wake up. And Ben has had nightmares for a couple nights now. He says he keeps dreaming that the kiss didn't work and I was trapped forever, sometimes though he says that Audrey stabbed me and I died in his arms. On those nights I held him in my arms and ran my fingers through his hand until he went back to sleep.

Other than that things were normal, except for my friends. They still cared about me but me being with Ben made things harder. Without any words passed between us they knew that I was out of the plan and I knew that they still were going to go through with it, because they didn't have a choice. But I do. And what I've decided to do may make me lose everyone I care about but I would be doing the right thing.

I'm going to tell Ben and his parents about Maleficent's plan to steal the Fairy Godmother's wand.
