Have fun with the cliffhanger!
Uma waited a little impatiently for three new comers to arrive in Auradon. She could barely get any sleep the night before because she worried about their safety. As soon as she saw a glimmer of light outside, she quickly got dressed, placed a note on Ally's nightstand explaining where she went, and headed out to the entrance of the school. The captain was there a good half-hour before she saw Jay walking down the stairs in his Isle attire with the keys and remote to the dome in one hand and a small med kit in the other.
"You're early," Jay teased as he momentarily sat next to her on the steps.
"No, you're just late." Uma bantered tiredly. (I will give a shout-out to whoever can tell me what video game that came from.) She motioned her head to the med kit. "What's that for?"
"Safety precaution." He explained. "You said Harry got injured, so I brought this just in case."
"That's very kind of you."
"We're in Auradon," Jay retorted, standing back up. "Kindness is something we are meant to do."
The sea-captain pondered on a thought before asking, "Do you miss the Isle? Do you ever wish you can return and never leave again?"
"I miss my father," the thief corrected carefully. "And if Mal had decided to return to Isle after Cotillion, I would have went and stayed with her."
"Why?" She wondered out of curiosity. "Why do you care so much about her when you don't share any blood?"
"Blood doesn't make a family." Jay forcefully argued. "Love does. Mal and I are brother and sister because we love each other; have been ever since we were children."
Uma couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Been watching 'The Fosters', haven't you?"
"Evie always has it on in her room while she's working on her designs." He tried to defend himself. "Anyways, it also applies to you and Freddie. Although you are half-sisters, if you do love each other you can be full blooded siblings."
"You have to admit, I am getting better." Uma insisted with a yawn. "I've stopped arguing with her, causing fights, or anything else that might seem rude to her."
"Get some rest," Jay suggested as he managed to find a way around the previous conversation. "I'll be back in about an hour."
The hour that Jay was gone felt like an eternity to Uma. After fifteen minutes had past, she received many texts from Ally, Jordan, and Freddie that basically all said the same thing; she broke a rule. As it was stated on the very first day of her arrival, Uma is not allowed to go anywhere without a supervisor or an escort. Uma completely forgot about that stupid rule. After being in Auradon for three months, she didn't realize that the rule was still in affect for all the friends she had.
Uma sent a text to the concerned friends, stating she was sitting at the school entrance and won't go anywhere until somebody shows up. About ten minutes later, Ally appeared with a couple disposal cup of hot chocolate and to-go box of biscuits and gravy for the sea witch. Uma shared the delicious food with Ally, who took a seat next to her. It ended up taking the duo five minutes to eat everything and another five to drink all the hot chocolate. After throwing the trash away, the roommates sat in silence as they waited for the group to arrive from the Isle.
Freddie and Jordan showed up ten minutes later, Mal, Evie, Dizzy, and Carlos five minutes after them, and Ben five minutes after the four. Only five minutes left until the trio would be coming to Auradon. Uma could hardly wait as she was nervously shaking her leg in anticipation.
Her anticipation finally ceased when the limousine pulled into the driveway in front of the school. Jay got out of the driver's side, went to the caboose of the vehicle, and opened the back door with a slight bow. Harry and Gil came out of the vehicle first (their backs to the group), but then they extended a helpful hand for the last visitor, Harriet Hook.
She looked absolutely beautiful. Harriet Hook was a slender tanned girl with golden brown eyes, pale ruby lips and dark frizzy hair with an uncontrollable mane. Dressed in a style not too unlike her father's, Harriet wears a scarlet red coat with three black straps and golden buttons on the sleeves. Underneath the coat she wears a white blouse tucked into a pair of black skin-tight pants. Her belt had a hook fasten to resemble her father's also has knee-high high-heeled crocodile-skin boots with golden flourishes on the top fold and a silver buckle.
If Uma wanted to be completely honest at that moment, she wouldn't hesitate to confess that Harriet is the reason she wanted to be a pirate in the first place. With her looks and the way she leads her pirate crew, it's no wonder that everyone was jealous of her after the 'power team' left for Auradon. Her beauty could make anyone fall in love with her.
Uma's admiration momentarily stopped when she saw the large bandage that covered almost all of her beloved first mate's cheek. Making the few strides forward, she placed a gentle hand on the covering to exam it better. "He did this to you?" She questioned even though she already knew the answer. "How could he do such a thing to his own son?"
"What do you expect?" Harry countered slightly rudely as he removed his captain's hand. "He's a villain."
Uma remained quiet as Ben did his little introduction routine, the same one he did for the others before the trio. Beginning the tour of the castle, Harry placed an arm around her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her, but it didn't seem to be working.
"Uma!" Freddie chided at the doting sea captain. "I know you're glad he's here, but the rules are still in affect. You've been doing good until today. Please at least try to still follow them."
Uma sighed a little tiredly and nodded her head in agreement. As they were taking the tour, Harry mumbled in her ear, "What rule did you break?"
"Not allowed to go anywhere without a chaperone." She muttered sleepily. "I waited here for a good hour and a half for you three to arrive. I was up earlier than everyone else that could go with me. I should have waited a few minutes before leaving on my own."
Harry squeezed her shoulder tightly in reassurance and kissed her forehead lovingly as they continued the tour. The group discovered that the boys would share a room next door to Carlos and Jay. However, Harriet will be rooming with Freddie and Jordan (there is plenty of space in there because Jordan stays in her lamp a majority of the time). Their rules are basically the same as everyone else; a curfew, no breaking of the rules, and attend Remedial Goodness. They are given permission to roam around anywhere they want without a chaperone, unlike Uma.
By the time the tour ended, it was time for the 'VKs' to attend the class Remedial Goodness. Although, Harriet and Freddie wouldn't be going to school for the rest of the day. Freddie offered the day before to take Harriet to the doctor to see how far long she truly is with her pregnancy and to see if the baby is healthy or not. Since her half-sister would be gone for the day, Uma sat by Harry in all the classes that they had together and anyone that could walked with Uma to class so she wouldn't get in trouble.
At the end of the school day, Uma was too tired or depressed to do anything else. There was no point in going to the diner because neither Freddie or Naveen would be working that night. The sea captain didn't even want to eat supper that night because she wasn't feeling good. So, Ally grabbed a couple things to go and walked with Uma back to their room.
Ally ate her food at her desk and doing her homework while Uma laid on her bed with her body facing Ally. She let a sigh escape her lips. "I can't believe how much of a fool I am," Uma insulted herself. "Auradon sure has changed me."
"What are you talking about Uma?" Ally wondered curiously as she momentarily stopped her work. "You're not a fool."
"But I forgot."
"Forgot what?"
"That there are villains." She answered as turned on her back to look at the ceiling. "I forgot that villains are cruel to their children if they don't do as they say. I forgot that villains still exist after being here for only three months."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Ally questioned as she sat at the edge of Uma's bed. "You are turning good."
Uma stayed silent but after a few seconds she ended up falling asleep. Ally sighed as she grabbed a nearby blanket and covered her the best as she could. "Sleep well, Uma." The daughter of Alice muttered kindly. "You are going to need all the rest you can get."
Ally spent a few minutes tidying up their room because it had gotten messy since the last time she cleaned. As she was cleaning, somebody slipped a note under the door once again. Ally didn't notice until five minutes later. With a disgruntle huff, she unfolded the paper and read the horrible note:
I warned you to leave the Isle, yet you convinced your 'friends' to come to Auradon instead.
You better hope her secret doesn't come out. That's right! I know. I know she's pregnant.
Who knows if she will be able to last in Auradon with a baby, a spawn of a villain no less.
If you don't leave by Sunday, I can't be held accountable for what happens to her, the baby, or you.
Best of dreams sea witch. You're going to need it for the hell I'm going to put you through.
