two: the castle and the beast
Luke woke up before Ben did. He did the laundry and made some breakfast along with food for the way, also some warm clothes since they said the night would be cold and it was a 12 hour trip. The blonde boy petted Molly who was walking behind him, basically begging him to go for a walk with her.
''Wait a sec girl, 'm just writting a note for Ben okay?'' Luke said and Molly sat down like she understood what Luke told her. The tall blonde smiled to her and wrote that he went out for grocery shopping and took Molly with him for a walk.
He grabbed Molly's collar thing, some money as well and got out of their house. It was nearly 10 in that saturday morning so there wouldn't be a lot of people outside, except for Mrs.Callan from across the street - she liked to spy the neighbours and chat about it later with her old friends from Furry Friends Club.
''Hi Mrs.Callan! How are you today?'' Luke greeted her.
''I'm good kid, you can keep walking.''
Luke nodded sadly, the old lady is always rude to him but nice to other people. It's always been like that, everyone is like that.

''You have everything right?''
Ben laughed ''I do Luke, if anything happens I will tell Backster to come to you okay? Don't worry about me.''
Luke nodded, he was worried because the quick road there was closed so Ben had to go through the woods. He didn't trust the woods, there were too many scary and dangerous animals in there - he thinks something might happen but Backster will be there.
Backster is like Ben's version of Baymax, but instead of being a nurse it's used for rescue intentions or warn someone that you need help. It's pretty smart but it's not finished, just a few details and it will be fine. He was little but could run at 70 km/hour.
''Okay, I'm leaving now. Do you have everything under control? Don't forget to take your anxiety pills!'' Ben said from the car.
''I will. Good luck, I hope you get some contract this year!''
They said their goodbyes and Luke watched as Ben drove away from the street. Luke sighs, everything is going to be fine.

Ben
The snow was strong as fuck that night, possibly one of the biggest storms. He had to find a place to stay for the night and drive the next day. He parked when he saw a big house - it looked like a castle but someone lived in there. It was taken care of, the gardens in the front seemed enough treated even thought there was snow covering most of it. He couldn't stay out there on a night like this one, hopefully the people in there will give him warm welcomes.
Ben got out of the car after parking it near the entrance. He grabbed his beanie, scarf and coat putting them. He grabbed the bag with his invention and ran inside the castle.
He looked around and there were some spiders but there was no dust. A candlestick with the three candles lit up was on the table next to the big door, next to it was an old clock that was working perfectly. He grabbed the candlestick and heard something or someone running behind him so he turned around but saw nothing.
''Hello?'' he called ''Who's there?''
''I'm here!'' a voice said and he turned around again.
''Who are you? Where are you?''
''In your hand, dumbass.'' Ben looked to the candlestick on his hand. It had eyes and a mouth ''Hello hello.''
The australian screamed and threw it on the floor. The clock could now walk and helped the candlestick up while mumbling a few words. What the hell was happening here? Was he really insane?
''You disgrace! I told you that you shouldn't talk to that man, you never listen to what I say! Master won't like this, he is going to be so mad!'' the clock said fast and turned to Ben ''Listen here iceman, you have to leave now!''
''I-I was just finding a place to stay! Please don't make me go outside with this storm! I'll be out in the early morning I swear!''
''No, go away!''
The candlelight slapped the clock with one of his candles - apparently that was his arms - and laughed loudly. It's official, Ben has gone crazy.
''Well well, Michael that's not how you treat a guest! Come with me Sir.'' The candlestick said and started walking (more like jumping) to the other room. Ben followed him, ignoring the calls from the cl-Michael, his name is Michael. His name his Michael, Ben thought, I'm insane.
The living room had an old style. The walls were red and the furniture was a dark brown, some paints were in the wall. He saw a family, it was torn like a some animal just went there and scratched it. He lifted a part and saw a hazel eyed young boy along with a woman and a man. They were dressed like a rich family, the boy had a cocky smirk on his face. The boy looked around 11 years old. The Irwins was the name of the picture.
''Get yourself comfortable my boy! We don't receive visits everyday - actually we never receive visits. Our master is very... reservated.''
Ben picked up the clock and started playling with the pointers ''This is amazing! what kind of technology is this? Who is your creator?''
The clock slappend Ben's hands away ''Get your hands off of me you filthy man! Who do you think you are to break in in our Master's house like that? Don't touch me! He will be so mad, oh he will turn into a literal beast.''
Suddenly Ben was sat in a chair and a blanket wrapped around him, a car with cakes and tea was next to him and the tea pot had eyes and could talk as well. The fire was lit and he was surprised by all of that. The clock walked around mumbling a few things and arguing with himself while Ben held a conversation with the tea pot.
''Haha it tickles!'' the small cup said out loud when Ben took a sip of it.
''Oh hi friend! How are you?''
Suddenly there was a roar and heavy steps that made Ben stop everything. Everyone stopped and the fire was off now since snow came in when the door was opened. There was an animal crazy sound behing the blonde boy.
''Who is this man?'' a heavy voice said making Ben shake with fear.
''Allow me to explain! This man was cold and the storm outside is very bad...'' he was interrupted bt the roar that put his light out. He looked down, scared.
''I was against this since the beginning! S-Sir we tried to put him outside b-but-'' the clock worriedly talked.
''Shut up Michael!'' the giant monster finally came in view. He recognized those hazel eyes, he saw them somewhere. It was the boy from the picture.
It was a giant beast, it was at least 7 feet and big hazel eyes. Its fur was light brown almost blonde and his clothes were ripped. He had a crazy look on his eyes like he wanted to hurt Ben and it made him want to scream but nothing came out. He was frozen and completely scared and shocked.
''Who are you?'' the deep voice asked roughly.
''B-Ben Hemmings, sir. Sorry t-to be he-here I jus-just needed a place to stay, you know?'' he stuttered.
''You're not welcome here.''
''I-I was just leaving! Sorry to bo-bother you it was not m-my intention!'' he turns to leave but the beast is more faster him and blocks the entrance so there is no way out of that large room.
''So you just came to stare at the beast eh? So you can go out and tell everyone what you saw here?'' the beast said roughly, a hint of disgust on his voice and a fury that made Ben shiver.
''N-No! I just needed a place to stay!''
''Oh, I'll give you a place to stay!''
''N-NO, PLEASE!'' it was too late, the best already grabbed him by the back of his coat. That's when he remembered.
He has Backster. He took the little orange 'guy' out of his pocket and turned it on before it was too late.
''How can I help you today, sir?'' the small toy said
''Record!'' he yelled.
''Recording.'' in that moment the beast roared and made Ben drop Backster.
''Luke, I need your help! Tell Backster to call the authorities and maybe animal control, he will obey you! Please Lukey!'' and the beast roared. He saw Backster running to the door since he had a light inside him.
He just hopes Luke helps on time.
