Chapter 4: Carlos's Nightmare #4 and The End

Carlos's Pov

The four of us had just finished our Remedial Goodness class and were on our way to lunch when we heard it, two angry voices screaming at each other from the cafeteria. I recognized them as my boyfriend Ben and his ex girlfriend Audrey, who had become cold ever since Ben left her.

When we got there no one paid us any mind, they were all focused on the fight going on infront of them. We turned our attention to the fighting and we could finally understand what they were saying.

"You can't do this Ben!"

"Yes I can Audrey! I'm the king and you have no control over what I choose to do with my life"

"As a princess and a subject I do! I can't stand by and watch as you bring down the kingdom by being with that mutt!"

"Carlos isn't a mutt and if I want to spend my life with him you can't do anything about it!"

They were in each other's faces right now glaring at each other. Against my better judgement I decided to get involved to see if I can keep them from killing each other.

"Ben what's going on?" I asked and they both whipped around towards me. Ben beamed and moved over to me but Audrey stayed in place and glared at me.

"Audrey overheard me talking to Chad and Doug about our relationship and she didn't like what I was saying so she decided to tell me what I planned on doing was going to tear Auradon apart and that as a princess she has the authority to stop me"

"That's crazy! If us being together was going to destroy us then it would be in ruins already" I joked and I heard laughter around me and I smiled.

"That isn't the type of together she meant, this is"

Ben reached into his inside jacket pocket and pulled out a gold ring with a red inscription on the inside that read 'You're my hero'.

"Ben, are you going to ask what I think you're going to ask?" I asked excited but also nervous, it was so sudden and soon.

"No Carlos I'm not asking you to marry me, but this ring is a promise that one day I will ask you that question and that I'll love you no matter what"

"Okay, I accept your promise" He slid the ring on my finger and pulled me in for a kiss. We pulled away quickly when we heard a scream come from Audrey.

"That's it! I've put up with this for too long! I love you Ben so I can't watch you throw your life away! And since you won't leave him there is only one thing I can do"

With reflexes I've never seen on her before she grabbed a knife and threw it at me. I didn't have any time to react, I was frozen in place. But good and bad for me Ben was thinking and he pushed me out of the way. I stumbled and when I turned back to Ben the knife was sticking out of his chest. He fell to his knees and I caught him before he collapsed to the ground. I was too distracted by Ben to noticed that Audrey ran and all my friends went after her.

I gently laid him down and my hands hovered over the knife because I didn't know if I should remove it or not so I settled for taking off my jacket and using it to put pressure around the wound. I yelled for someone to go get help and I heard the loud pounding of footsteps.

"Ben you idiot, why would you do this?" I choked up.

"Because I love you" He rasped out.

"I love you too but I don't want you dying for me"

"To me that is the best way to die"

"You're such a sap" I leaned down and kissed him gently but pulled away when he started to couch and I was horrified to see blood come out of this mouth and I knew that he wasn't going to make it and it was all my fault.

"Don't blame yourself. I can die happy knowing that you're well" He said because he could always read my mind.

"But I'm not going to be well. How can I live without you?" I began to full on cry now.

"You have to because if you don't I'm going to haunt you until you're happy again" He chuckled but that made him cough again and I could hear that his breath was fading.

"Goodbye Carlos, I'll always love you"

"I'll always love you too Ben"

He weakly grabbed my hand and squeezed it one last time before his grip weakened and he was gone.

I sat there crying, the love of my life gone. But then I began to think of who did this and my blood began to boil and my inner villain was begging to come out.

Audrey would pay, no matter what I had to do.

"Carlos! You're having another nightmare!" Ben screamed into my ear and I jumped straight out of bed. I looked over at Ben and he had the same worried look on his face that I did.

"We need help" I said and that was all that needed to be said. We both got changed and went to find the Fairy Godmother. Once we did we explained what was going on, after we apologized for waking her up. We told that we just thought that we were worried about losing each other but we kept it in so it came out in our dreams, she told us differently however. She used her wand to try and find the problem and that's when she discovered that someone used dark magic on us. She explained that the spell used on us as a couple brought out our worst fears through dreams and that they wouldn't end until the fears came true or the bond between the two people was broken. Ben and I got worried but the Fairy Godmother was able to find a spell to reverse it and that's what she did.

"Who do you think did this?" I asked Ben as we made our way back to our room.

"My guess is that Maleficent did it before she was turned into a lizard. But let's not worry about it anymore. It's all over and I just want to make it through one night without seeing you die"

"Me too, I don't think I could have handled another one of those nightmares"

"And now we never have to"

We made it back to the room and we both fell on the bed and cuddled up to each other. We fell asleep instantly.

There were no nightmares.

And there would never be again.
