Bring Her Home (Book 1)

How It Happened

(Eighteen years ago)

"It's the only way to keep everyone safe." Adam told his wife.

"But is it really a good idea?" His wife asked.

"Honey I promise you it is. It's the the only choice. I just need to sign the papers and, then we'll be safe. And our son will grow up in a safe world." Adam finished explaining.

"If you're sure." Belle sighed.

(A couple months later)

"Look this way." A photographer told them. 

Adam stood with his arm around Belle. While Belle was holding their newly born son, Ben.

(Ten years later)

"Hey what is that?" A girl asked.

"I don't know, but we shouldn't go over there. We should start heading home." Another girl answered. 

The girl was still standing there as the other one started walking away. 

"Mal come on!" The other complained.

"Coming!" She called and followed her.

At midnight while mostly everyone was asleep Mal quietly left her house and went back to that hidden spot she found. 

She looked around to make sure no one was around, then crawled through the hole. As she was crawling she felt something. 

When she crawled out she was in Auradon. "Wow where am I?" She asked herself.

"Honey are you lost?" Someone asked.

"I... I'm new." Mal replied.

"Well let's get you to a dorm and settled in." The person said and had Mal follow them.

(Eight years later)

"Ben! Ben!" Adam was calling to his son.

"I'm here Dad." Ben said standing behind his dad.

"Jeez! I'm never gonna get use to you sneaking up on me." His dad said jumping.

"All those classes paid off." Ben laughed.

"Is everyone all set?" Ben's mom asked fixing Ben's tie.

"Mom chill." Ben told her.

"I'm fine. It's just.... Wait where is she?" Belle questioned looking right at Ben.

"She's coming. You know how she is." Ben answered.

"Son she can't keep doing this." Adam told Ben.

"I know I'll talk to her." Ben replied.

"She's here." A guard told them.

"Uh finally." Belle sighed. "Okay Ben, you go get here. We'll be waiting."

"Got it." Ben nodded and started walking to the door.

"Wait Ben." His mom stopped him and started fixing his hair.

"Mom! Mom it's fine." Ben pulled her hands away from him.

"Okay I just want you to look good for this." Belle said.

"I know, but I'm king. I can take care of myself." Ben reminded her.

"I know. Now go get her." Belle responded and gave Ben a push.

Ben took a deep breath before the guards opened the door.

"Hey babe." Ben walked down to her and hugged her.
