Hey guys, welcome back! As I was finishing writing "Oh What A Night!" This story came to me just like the rest of this series and I couldn't resist. Yes we kinda already know where this leads as I know if you are reading this then you must also be following this series. However I thought it would be fun to explore; also I haven't done another pairing for the Descendant fandom so the change from Bal appealed to me. Also I know I have posted this and I am only half way through 'Oh What A Week' but I couldn't resist and as it is slightly different I thought it wouldn't make things too complicated. Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
"What a life!" I said as I swung my head back lazily as I look another swing of stale goblin whiskey.
"My mother is right!" I spat as I staggered around. I was now in my secret hideaway in an old and boarded up house on the outskirts of the Isle. No one else visited this house so I knew that I was safe to go into a drunken mess and pass out of the floor; like anyone cared anyway!
"Everyone is a let down" I said darkly as I wiped my mouth on the back of my right hand as the room started to spin.
"Why do I even bother?" I muttered to myself as I took another long drink of whiskey. I winced at the sourness that was now burning my throat and I blinked a couple of times.
"My mother thinks I'm nothing" I stated sadly.
"Worse than nothing!" I added as I stumbled around again and nearly fell onto a very moth eaten and thread bare green couch.
"Sometimes when I attempt evil schemes my morons get caught!" I shouted as I threw my arms into the air as I started to fly into a fit of rage off today's events. I then went to take another drink but when I noticed that the bottle was empty I suddenly saw red.
"Grrr!" I growled.
"For Lucifer sake!" I roared and I swung around clumsily and threw the glass bottle off the wall and it filled the room with a loud smash. I grinned to myself as I was very happy with the sound as it filled the empty room and I went to pick another bottle up from the floor but I stopped when I heard a cold and dark voice.
"If I knew that I was going to be the subject of target practice I would have stayed away" a voice chuckled. I slowly turned around and my dazed eyes fell onto a startled looking Harry Hook, who was now looking at me. I watched as he looked me up and down and took in my very drunk state before he winked at me before he started to stroke his fake hook in his left hand.
"What do you want?" I asked darkly as I growled at him.
"Hook"! I spat as I quickly looked him up and down.
"Hey" he said in a sing-song voice as he stepped towards me.
"This isn't just your evil hideaway" he stated which made my eyes narrow. As long as I have been using this house as a hideaway no one else has been here; but that didn't mean that others didn't use it when I wasn't here. And I didn't like the fact that people were here when I wasn't; this was meant to be my private space!
"I never see anyone else here!" I spat as I bent down and picked another bottle up.
"Well permit me to correct you without the danger of being glassed" he replied as he eyed the bottle that was now in my hand.
"I don't tend to come in here if I think others are" he advised coolly when I stood up straight and glared at him.
"Me too" I answered before I took another drink. I winced at the taste again and this time I had to resist the urge not to gag to bring up any vomit.
"Good taste?" Harry asked sarcastically before dropping onto the couch and he quickly kicked his feet onto the old and battered coffee table.
"So big bad junior" he teased as he took another slow look up and down me.
"What has you so pissed?" He chuckled as he winked at me.
"Like you care!" I snarled.
"You're right" he said dismissively as he held both hands up.
"I don't" he confirmed.
"But forgive me for trying to take notice of someone who could have me maimed" he stated seriously.
"Yeah" I agreed as I clenched my jaw together. The last thing I needed was Harry Hook taunting me and if he was going to continue I would have to make him pay.
"Ok" I grumbled.
"But don't expect an apolgy for what just happened then" I stated as I dropped onto the other couch across the room.
"I wouldn't dream of it" he said as he started to polish his hook.
"So what happened?" He asked as he looked up at me.
"A scheme went wrong" I muttered.
"I see" he noted as he nodded to himself.
"I'm sure there will be other schemes" he stated.
"Probably" I agreed. I looked at Harry and stared at him for a couple of seconds before I started to wonder whether something was up; so I decided to confront him about it.
"I thought you sided with Uma over me; you are in her gang" I pressed as I kicked my legs up on to the couch.
"She will have a fit if she knows you are here" I added and I couldn't help but smirk at Uma's displeasure.
"I won't tell her if you don't" Harry said shrugging.
"It would appear Mal that-" he started.
"We both prefer our own company" he finished with a smirk.
"Yeah" I agreed. I would admit that having a civil conversation with Harry Hook was unnerving me; but it was a lot better than getting a beating as I knew if Uma was here right now with the rest of her goons I would probably getting the shit kicked out of me by now.
"So how about we propose a truce?" I heard Harry ask which broke me out of my train of thought.
"A truce?" I asked slowly.
"Yes" he confirmed.
"When we are in here" he said as he directed his hook around the room.
"I'll leave you alone" he offered.
"If you promise not to smash bottles over me?" He asked.
"I can't promise anything" I chuckled.
"That's the best I think I am going to get" he chuckled back.
"Yeah" I replied.
"Well I can't really complain" he stated as he pulled one brow up suggestively as he let his feet drop from the table and onto the floor as he sat forward.
"Having such a beautiful woman for company" he flirted as he looked me up at down.
"Behave Hook!" I warned him. I watched as he pursed his lips together as he looked me up and down again; I pursed my lips together and made a decision. If I was going to have to endure Harry's advances then I was going to leave as I really wasn't in the mood.
"I'm leaving" I advised and I quickly sat up.
"Ok Faery" he teased as I stood up.
"See you soon?" he offered as I walked past him.
"Maybe Hook" I advised.
"Maybe" I muttered to myself as I left the room.
