Chapter Six
Mal's eyes widening just proved that the wand was fake, but did I say anything? Nope. "Oh, and nothing too big or else Ben's fish bait" Uma informed Mal and Harry leaned Ben over the edge of the plank. Mal turned and looked at the VKs and one Auradon girl that I just noticed was there.
"I know it seems absurd, but turn your bark into a word" Mal waved the wand at a dog that was sitting not too far away. We don't have dogs or any animals on the isle, so the mut must've followed them here. "Talk dog" Mal commanded after a moment of silence.
"Does this vest make me look fat?" The dog asked and the whole crew burst out laughing."Give me the wand" Uma held her hand out for the wand. "Give me, Ben" Mal held her hand out for Ben. "Bring Ben over" I told Harry. He grabbed Ben and brought him over, pushing him to his knees beside me.
I grabbed my sword and cut the ropes around his wrists and ankles in one swing. I let go of his shoulder and he grabbed Mal's hand as Uma put her hand on the wand. Mal let go of the wand and helped Ben up. The crew cheered as Uma and I walked onto the ship with the wand.
"By the power of the sea tear it down and set us free" Uma shouted raising her arm with the wand in it. When nothing happened, Uma became angered and screamed. "You do not get to win every time" Uma shouted at Mal who had pushed Ben a good ways away from the ship.
"Get them" I commanded and the crew went to swing for the docks, but smoke bombs stopped them. "You get Mal, I'll take Ben" I told Uma who nodded and ran off. I ran after Ben who had run up to where Evie is. I swung my sword at him and easily blocked it. "You're good" I swung again.
"But, not good enough" I pushed him back against the wall. "Push me on the ground and run" I whispered. "What?" He asked. "Push me onto the ground and run" I repeated. "Why are you helping us? Aren't you part of Uma's crew?" He questioned.
"Uma's crew? Ha" I laughed and he gave me a weird look. "I'm the captain. She's the mastermind. I'm doing this because as much as I want to hate them, I don't. They were my first real friends. I never wanted to go through with Uma's plan, but I didn't want her to suspect anything.
And no I'm not afraid of her, it's quite the opposite actually. It's more the fear of letting Harry down" I told him the truth. "Then come with us" Ben stated starting to push back. "What? No, I'm not just gonna leave Harry and Dizzy here" I informed him.
"Once we get back to Auradon, we can sort out the next group of kids to come over" I pushed him back against the wall again. "Face it, I'm not coming. Now do what I told you" I grunted. He pushed me back and then swept my foot out from under me making me fall.
I got up and went to run after him, but someone called my name. I turned to my left and saw Harry soaking wet trying to climb back onto the dock. "Una, help me, hurry" Harry pleaded and then I heard that familiar ticking. So, Tic Toc Croc had a kid, who somehow inherited the ticking.
I quickly ran over to Harry and pulled him up. "What were you thinking? Tic Toc Croc Jr. could've gotten you" I stated the obvious. He just waved his father's hook around. I rolled my eyes with an annoyed smile on my lips. "You still love me though" Harry whispered and pecked my lips before running off.
I looked to see Harry went after Ben, so I ran over. "I got him" I told Harry who looked at me and then went after Jay. "Hello again" I smiled at Ben and he smiled back. "We've gotta stop meeting like this" He said and I laughed. I looked over his shoulder to see Evie and Mal giving me wary looks.
"Go" I told him as we fought and spun around like I was going to hit him, but then got 'stuck'. I nodded over to Mal and he looked seeing her. He nodded and ran over to her. I got myself 'unstuck' and walked over toward the bridge, that leads to the pipe, as the smoke cleared from Evie's smoke bomb.
Mal smirked at us and kicked the bridge making it fall into the water below.
Una:
What's my name?
What's my name?
What's my name?
Say it loud!
I acted angry and Uma stormed off to the other way to get to the docks. I looked at Harry and ran after her. Uma went to where the pipe leads to and saw Mal's spell book. She smirked and took off. I watched from the shadows and followed her. She went to the barrier.
"Uma, what are you doing?" I asked once she stopped. "Looks like we're going to win after all" Uma looked at the spell book then up at the barrier and I saw Harry come up out of the corner of my eye. We heard the limo coming, so we hid in the shadows.
The limo came up and stopped, the barrier broke and the car drove through. As the limo was driving through, Uma ran and dove into the water. I stood there in shock for a second, but then ran and dove in after her. I heard another splash behind me and turned to see Harry.
I shook my head and kept swimming. The barrier opened in Auradon for the limo to come through and Uma pulled herself onto the shore. I waited a second and then pulled myself up as well. "What are you doing here?" I asked Harry. "I wasn't letting you do this alone" He told me.
I smiled and hugged him, obviously he hugged me back. "Thank you" I whispered and he kissed the top of my head. I let go of him and sighed. "Come on" I said and started running, following Uma's wet footprints.
