I am awoken in the early hours of the morning to someone placing kisses down my bare back. When I look over a soft smile over takes my face as I see its Harry. He looks up at me with a smirk as he says, "Good morning little love." I say, "Good morning my love." He says, "We need to finish our discussion and I need to tell ya your new rules." I nod silently. He says, "If ya lie to me I will know it. Ye will answer every question I ask and your punishment and rules depend on your answers." I nod my head and say, "Yes, Harry."

He nods and says, "Why did ya go to Auradon?" I tell him, "Because it wasn't an option. When mother says I have no choice it's not by her, it's by Maleficent. I knew If I didn't leave she would have sent for me and at the time we didn't have to numbers to take on her minions. I was trying to protect you guys. I won't lie, I've always wanted to go to Auradon, but I wanted to be with you more, you are the love of my life." He nods and says, "It is not now nor is it ever your fucking call to make if we can handle something. Do ya understand me?" I say," Yes." He nods and asks, "This Brad Charming what is your relationship with him?" I sigh saw this question coming. I tell him, "Brad is a friend. When we first got there, we were not well received by the students. Brad's twin Chad used Evie and tried to get us expelled, but Brad and Evie's boyfriend Doug were there for us. Brad reminds me a lot of Gil that's how our friendship started. He's in love with Alice, a girl who goes to school there, and he helped me to try to escape to the isle once. He's a good friend to me."

Harry nods, "Well I suspect ya won't ever see him again, so I guess he's not problem to me. Were you with any other man, in any way, kissing, dating, anything, while you were in Auradon?" I shake my head and say, "No. I turned down all the princes and other guys who asked me out. My heart is yours Harry. I have known that since I was 13. I belong to you, there was never a doubt about that. Everyone on the isle knows, and thanks to my inability to shut up, everyone in Auradon knows it too." He says, "What do ya mean everyone in Auradon knows it?" I say, "It started with the select few asking about my love life or what is was like to have a boyfriend. I told them about it, about you. But as time went on word spread like wild fire about you and how I shot down the most eligible of princes for a pirate. Some people call me the pirate princess, sometimes it's a compliment and sometimes it's an insult. I'm fine with it either way." He says, "That's very good princess. I want everyone in every land to know ya belong to me. What is your relationship to king Ben?" I sigh and say, "We're friends. He's a nice guy that cares about his people."

He asks, "At the coronation if he hadn't promised ya he would bring me off the isle, would ya have stolen the wand and freed us?" I say without hesitation, "Yes." He looks surprised. I say, "I love you Harry more than anything in the whole world. I'm not like you, Uma, and Gil I'm not a villain, but in that moment if it meant being with you again, then yes I would have stolen the wand without regret." He says, "Good answer little love. Are ya going to try to stop us from hurting Ben?" I tear up as I say, "I couldn't if I wanted to Harry. You guys do what you want to do and the second I left with my mother that day I was no longer a member of this crew." He runs his hand through my hair as he says, "Oh, me princess is so smart. Such a good girl."

He says, "I've thought over your actions and your answers and I have your rules all figured out. Rule 1. Ye are to be with me, Uma or Gil at all times if any of us lose sight of ya for even a second ya will be punished. Rule 2. Ye are not to interfere with crew business, as ya admitted ya are no longer a member of this crew. Rule 3. Ye live here now, in me room, in me bed. Rule 4. Ye are not to argue with me over anything I run your life now. Rule 5. The only friends ye are allowed to have are Uma and Gil. Rule 6. Ye will not try to help Ben Escape or ya will be in big trouble. Rule 7. Ye will never leave this isle again unless I am by your side. Do ya understand your new rules little love?" I say, "Yes, Harry."

He says, "Good. And as for ye punishment, well ye were a naughty little love. So, how about I spank that right out of ya. I think you deserve this, but it is way lighter than my original plans for ya. Your answers inspired a lighter punishment, but I don't recommend testing me princess. I can always make it worse for you." I say, "Yes, Harry." I won't go in to detail about the spanking let's just say there were a lot and they hurt like a bitch. If this was holding back then I'm terrified to know what his original plan for me was.

After the punishment was over Harry asks, "Did you learn your lesson Lola?" I nod my head with tears flowing down my face. He says, "Say it Lola!" I say, "Yes, I learned my lesson, Harry. I'm sorry." He pulls me into his lap and wipes my tears as he says, "Now, now little love, stop your crying. I think given the circumstances I've been quite lenient and forgiving to ya." I manage to stop my crying as I say, "You were, Harry. I didn't think you'd ever even kind of forgive me. I am willing to be tormented by you for the rest of my life as long as you are there." He smirks and says, "Don't worry little love. I think I've tormented ya enough for now. Now come along, Uma and Gil are dying to see ya." We quickly get dressed and head out of his room.

When we get on deck of the ship it doesn't take long to find Uma. When she sees me she says, "Well, well, well look at the little traitor on my ship." Harry says, "Uma," in a warning tone. She backs down and I say, "Can I talk to you Uma? Alone?" Harry glares at me and I look at him and say, "Please." He relents with a nod and Uma says, "Fine. Come on." She leads me into her room. We stand around quietly before I say, "I'm so sorry, Uma. I didn't leave because I wanted to. I didn't have a choice, I had to go." She glares and asks, "What do you mean you didn't have a choice."

I tell her, "When my mother said that to me, she didn't mean she wasn't giving me a choice. She meant Maleficent wasn't giving me a choice. You know how she was if I hadn't gone, she would have sent her minions after me. And anyone in the way would have been hurt or killed. We didn't have the numbers to take them back then. I was protecting you guys. I wanted to go, yeah, but not at the expense of the people I love. Harry already loudly informed me I didn't have a right to make that call for you guys and maybe he's right. I just wanted to protect you guys this once." She studies me for a moment before she asks, "If you didn't want to go, why didn't you come back after Maleficent was defeated."

I tell her, "They wouldn't let me. Ben promised he would bring you, Harry, and Gil to Auradon, but as time went on he kept making excuses on how it wasn't a good time yet. I begged him to send me back to the isle to be with you guys, but they said it was too dangerous, that even Harry couldn't protect me from all the people who wanted us dead. I tried to sneak over here a couple times, but they always caught me." She stares me down contemplating what I said. Finally, she says, "You can't be back in the crew." I laugh and say, "I don't want to be in the crew. I want us to be friends again. Uma, you are my best friend." She shrugs and says, "That might could happen." I know that's the best I'll get from her and I'm ok with that. I say, "I'm around if you ever want to hang. Not like I can go anywhere anyway. Harry will probably have me on lock down for a while." She laughs and says, "With how pissed he's been you should be glad that's all he's doing to you." I nod and say, "Oh, believe me, I know!" We laugh together and it feels like old times for just a second.

She says, "Come on, we better get you back to Harry before he loses it." I nod and say, "I bet you he is standing outside the damn door." She says, "No way. He's not that weird." She opens the door and low and behold Harry was leaning against the wall opposite her door. I say, "I told you so." She just laughs and says, "Here psycho, she is all yours." He smirks and says, "I already knew that." He offers me his hand and I take it. He leads me back to the upper deck. Suddenly, I'm being tackled into a hug. I hear the person say, "Lala!" I smile softly and hug him back as I say, "Hey Gilly." He pulls back and says, "I'm so glad your back! Maybe Harry and Uma will be nice again now that you are. They are so mean to me and I don't even know why! Harry tried to hook me for saying your name and Uma tried to beat me for reminding her Mal used to call her shrimpy." I smile sadly at Gil as I say, "Oh you poor thing! Remember what we were working on before I left?" He nods and says, "To not say every random thought that pops into my head, so I stay out of trouble." I smile and say, "We'll start working on that again." He nods and says, "Ok Lala! I have to go watch for Mal and her friends now, I'll see you later."

I turn to Harry and say, "I'm not interfering, but can I know what's going on?" He studies me for a second before he says, "We kidnapped the king as ya know, but Uma made a deal with Mal. Mal gets her Fairy godmother's wand and we give them Ben back." I nod and say, "Sounds like a fair trade." I'm not going to say out loud that they would never hand over fairy godmother's wand. If we could steal it for ourselves, why would they steal it for them? He smirks and says, "They have until noon and then I get to hook Ben. He's tied up over there." I notice Ben for the first time and as much as I want to go and check on him, I know better. It'll piss Harry off and make things worse for Ben, so I stay beside Harry. He asks, "Not going to see the king, little love?" I shake my head and say, "I'm not going to do the one thing that will piss you off when you are in such a good mood."

He smirks and pulls me into a deep kiss. When he pulls back, he says, "Ye are so smart princess. Ya learn fast." I smile at him and say, "I just know when to pick my battles love. This is not one I'm going to pick." He says, "Good. Let's go prepare for you friend's arrival, little love!" Is my destiny to be caught between these 2 rival groups? I'm not on either side, I'm standing right in the middle as the war rages on around me. What's going to happen next?
