I haven't been updating because my phone stopped working and a bunch of other stuff but aside from that here is chapter 9.
Chapter 9
For everyone else on the Isle it seems like a normal day, but that's not the case for the pirate crew, the VKs, Ben and I. On the pirate ship Harry has finished tying Ben and I to the posts. Harry hops down and scratches the bottom of Bens chin. "Coochy coochy coooo," Harry teases. "How's it to feel to be king and Princess now, eh?"
Uma comes up and pushes Harry away. "Ugh, give it a rest, Harry. We don't want damaged goods." She sits on a trunk.
"You said I could hook them," Harry snarls.
"I said at noon," Uma corrects.
Harry turns back to us. He dangles a watch in out faces. "Twenty minutes to go,"
"It says eleven-thirty," says Ben. Harry growls.
"You better hope your girlfriend comes through," says Uma.
"She's not my girlfriend anymore," Ben adds. It takes one fight to break up a couple, you learn something new everyday.
"Hmmm." Uma turns to Harry. "Harry, leave us alone."
Harry looks at the clock again. "Nineteen minutes to go," he says. He walks away then.
"I get you don't deserve this—" Ben starts.
Uma smiles. "This? This island is a prison, thanks to your father!" shouts Uma. "And don't pretend to look out for me, because no ones looking out for me. It's just me." I didn't realize that the Isle is so bad. Then again they get all our garbage, Mommy and Daddy should have known better than to treat these people like their nothing, because they are something and have the ability to change.
"This isn't your mothers plan?" asks Ben. "Isn't that her necklace?" Ben points his head to the shell.
Uma bursts out laughing. "She doesn't care about me, either. Well, not unless she needs someone to work the night shift."
"Ouch," says Ben.
"I don't need your pity!" Uma yells.
"No, you certainly don't. You're very resourceful. I don't see you tied up." Ben says. Did Ben just say Uma was better than him? He's saying that a child of a villain on the Isle of the Lost is better than the King.
Uma gets up. "So, let's trash talk Mal," Uma suggests.
"I'd rather talk about you," Ben says.
Uma laughs. "Oh, funny and a gentleman. I really hope I don't have to feed you two to the fishes." Being funny and a gentleman are two things Ben got from Daddy, but Ben didn't get Daddy's temper, because if he did get it then he would be using it right now instead of being funny.
"You don't," says Ben. "Set us free and we'll go back together."
"Oh, so now I get an invite?" Uma howls. "Gee, I wonder why." Uma gets closer to Ben. "You know, when you brought Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay to Auradon…that's as mad as I've ever been in my life. And believe me, I've been plenty mad." Uma turns away. I didn't think that villain kids would want to go to Auradon so bad.
"I never thought that I could have hurt the people that weren't picked," says Ben, looking at Uma. Uma turns and starts to listen. "My plan was to start with four kids and bring more people over, but I—but I guess I was busy being king. That sounds lame. I'm so sorry. You're a leader, Uma. So am I. Come to Auradon and be part of the solution."
Uma shook her head. "Hmmm. Nah, I don't need you. She pokes Ben hard in the chest. "I'm gonna get there on my own. Harry!" Harry starts to march over.
"Uma will you at least, if Mal and other others don't come, can you let Becky go back to Auradon?" Ben pleads.
"No, the plan is to get rid of not only the king, but also his heir. That would cause another election and during the election the kingdoms at its weakest, making it easier to take over." Uma explained. "Harry, let's get to Auradon to see what this puppy can do," Uma touches the seashell necklace. Harry and Uma kept watch over Ben and I while Gil watches the cliffs that are near by.
"Hey, guys! They're here!" Gil shouts. Sure enough five people and a dog came out of the cliffs and towards the ship.
Uma turns to everyone with a smile. "Let's get this party started." This is going to get interesting.
