Auradon's Latest Traitor

Third Person

"No, I am ordering you to give out gas masks to anyone who is still awake... yes there are still people awake I'm sure of it! And I don't care how difficult it is, we have to get gas masks on these people and get them out of here! No, I don't care how hard that is, this isn't the time for logistics just get it done!"

Ben shouted through the phone in his office, growling a bit as he felt overly frustrated in his own people. They seemed like they couldn't even get anything done the way he wanted them to, and his government was actively falling apart without Mal's extra input. He leaned over his desk and took a few deep breaths before looking up at the one guard he had stationed in his office, one of the last guards awake at that,

"Tell your general to find out if Audrey's made any demands, try to get some form of defense out against the sleeping spell. Remember it comes through the air"

Ben fiercely ordered the guard, he nodded once before turning to the door and exiting the room, closing the door behind him to leave Ben in his office to hopefully decompress a bit, alone. He fell back into his chair and felt it bounce a bit as he sat down, he immediately went to rub his temples and try to relieve the pressure in the front of his brain, but nothing was doing it. His kingdom was under attack, Mal and the other VKs were nowhere to be found, and there were only a few hundred residents in all of Auradon that had managed to evade the sleeping spell that was still spreading and wreaking havoc on the entire kingdom. And one of the worst things he had thought of was Elena, someone rather important especially in times like these, had seemingly disappeared altogether.

Ben was snapped out of his spiraling mindset as he suddenly heard a scream in the hallway, his head shot up as it sounded like a deeper scream at that. As Ben had heard that sound, the guard he had just sent to go communicate things to his general had been actively trapped and by the time Ben had stood up to go investigate, had been turned to stone. So it was far too late, but he didn't know that until the door was slammed open by a strong gust of wind, and he was shocked to see who it was.

It was Audrey yes... but leading the charge seemed to be one of his own, someone he thought he could trust, and someone with way too much power to not have on his side. He stepped back in shock as Elena had forced her hands out and commanded a powerful gust of wind to throw the door open, Audrey followed close behind with her free hand slowly dancing around it seemed as the other one held tight onto the scepter. Elena put her arms down at her sides as Audrey stiffened her free hand a bit, causing Elena to pause so Audrey could walk past her,

"Why, hello there Benny Boo... like the new look?"

Audrey said with a sickly smile before doing a little spin to show off her dark attire. While she spoke, Elena simply stared off at the ground, not moving an inch besides blinking and breathing. But her odd behavior didn't stop Ben from being put off by her presence alongside Audrey,

"Audrey.... what's going on?"

Ben simply muttered as he had to take on the shock still, but Audrey simply giggled a bit and walked further towards him. She waved her hand a bit, making Elena perk up and follow her as she approached Ben,

"What do you think, Ben? I'm taking my life back, that's what I'm doing"

Ben gulped and looked at Audrey with confusion beyond belief, but he slowly looked over to Elena who was standing almost perfectly stationary at Audrey's side like some sort of personal guard. Ben was so in shock that he could feel his eyes watering,

"Elena... what are you doing?"

Audrey smirked and got Elena to look up again, she had learned how to control a lot of parts when it came to Elena, but her facial expressions and voice were hard to mimic. So Audrey did it herself, chuckling a little bit and stepping in front of her,
