Sorry for the delay, I was busy mostly writing my one-shot Mal's Life Changer, go check it out and review it, review on this chapter and here it is.
Chapter 10
Mal and them reach the boat and come together with Mal in front. Harry moves Ben and I to on the plank. I look worryingly at the VKs. This better go well or Ben and I are toast. After some rough arguing Mal has the wand and is about to give it to Uma.
"Hold up," Uma commands. "Too easy. Give it a test drive! We want to see it work." The pirates laugh and smile.
Mal rolls her eyes. "Wow, you always were such a drama queen." Doesn't Uma know that there's no magic on the Isle? The wand won't work.
"Nothing too big," Uma threatens, "or else Ben and Becky are fish bait." I definitely don't want to be fish bait so please Mal do something. Harry pushes Ben and I further down the plank.
"We're dead," squeaks Carlos. Evie whispers something to Carlos. Mal turns to her friends in horror. Carlos nods his head towards Dude.
"Okay," says Mal, turning back. She points the wand at Dude. "Although it seems absurd, turn your bark into a word!" Mal chants moving the wand around. Dude does nothing. "Talk, dog!" Mal whispers.
"What? I hate public speaking!" Dude cries. Uma smiles. How do they believe that worked? "Anyone have some bacon? Anyone?" Dude asks.
"Okay, give me the wand!" Uma barks.
"Give me Ben and Becky!" Mal shouts back.
"Let's go, Harry. Let's go!" Uma orders. Harry drags us over, most likely upset that he couldn't feed us to the sharks.
"Ben! Becky!" Gil calls. "Before you two go! Um…can you tell your mom that my dad says hi, and also, tell your dad that my dad says that he wishes he had gotten rid of your dad when he had the chance?" Ben looks at him funny. I don't say anything. I guess I could tell Mommy and Daddy the message.
"Come on!" Uma shouts. Harry pushes us over on either side of Uma. Uma puts her hand out to get the wand. Mal and Carlos put their hands out. "Cut them loose," Uma commands.
"I never get to have any fun," Harry complains. Harry cuts us both loose of the ropes. I tense up at the sound of the ropes being sliced behind me. Ben grabs Mal's hand and I grab Carlos's. Uma places her elbows on our shoulders. Uma and Mal stare at each other for a second and then Mal hands over the wand. Ben leaps up and Carlos pulls me up so that he's holding me. We make a run for it as Uma and the pirates gather together to use the wand.
"By the power of the sea, tear it down and set us free!" Uma chants waving the wand. The pirates cheer on as nothing happens. Uma's smile disappears . "No!" Uma brakes the wand in two. "You do not get to win every time! Get them!"
"Now!" yells Mal. Carlos has set me down by Dude and shoots a smoke bomb from a slingshot, then he shoots another.
"Go!" Uma commands. The pirates roar with anger. Jay knocks over the barrel with swords in it and everyone takes one. Well not me because I'm three. Very soon the VKs, Ben and Lonnie fought the pirates. It's so cool!
Lonnie is fighting a pirate and knocks the sword out of his hand. "Here. Take mine," she says. That's not very smart though, because now the bad guy has the sword and Lonnie doesn't. Even with no sword, Lonnie beats the pirate taking back her sword. Harry and Jay are fighting and Harry seems to winning, but then Jay takes Harry's hook and holds it over the deck. Harry really wants it and I know Jay knows that, so before he goes away, Jay throws the hook into the water. Harry jumps in after it. Mal is knocking pirates away and Evie, Ben and Carlos do the same thing. Mal finally gets to the bridge and there waiting for her is Uma, who is furious. They look at each other ready to fight. Although I want to yell out to Mal, I don't say anything. All that's going through my head is; Go Mal!
