Chapter 9: Hadie and Uma

While all the excitement was going on in Auradon, over on the Isle of the Lost the citizens who had elected to stay had come out to see that not only had the barrier returned but that Auradon citizens were now within their midst. One of the kids who had chosen to stay noticed an Auradon kid shaking like a leaf. He could only assume she was an Auradon kid based on how she was dressed.

Most of the kids from the Isle had more leather in their outfits, probably because it was easier to maintain or because it was the only material available. Whatever the reason, the fact that this girl didn't have any proved that she was either an Auradon kid or someone like Dizzy or Evie who imagined themselves an Auradon Kid…but even Evie or Dizzy wouldn't shake like that.

The fact that she was wearing purple was also a clear sign that she was from the other side of the bridge. Only Mal wore purple on the Isle. Rick Ratcliffe tried once. He spent a week with smoke bomb residue teaching him why that was a bad idea. Mad Maddy also tried, and if she had stayed friends with Mal back when they were three she might have been able to get away with it.

Though Mal's monopoly on purple was more of a darker purple and this girl was wearing a lighter shade that was also clearly more of an Auradon thing.

"What are you doing here?" He asked as he walked up to her, but the blonde stepped back, obviously afraid of him. He probably looked rather intimidating with his black leather clothing and dark blue hair. "It's okay, look I won't hurt you."

"I don't know what happened," the girl said, her voice soft and the fear still audible as her eyes darted around as if trying to find someone she knew or someone who might be able to help her. "One minute I was standing outside in the garden talking to King Ben and then then next I'm here."

He couldn't help but look over her shoulder to see her golden hair trailing what had to be feet behind her. That would have be taken care of before anything else happened; if they needed to run or sneak around, they'd be spotted in a heartbeat.

"Oh! I'm Ruby. My mom's Rapunzel," she said, pulling his attention back to her. "But you probably guessed that from the hair."

"I'm Hadie, son of Hades," he told her and he could see her expression change from one of fear to one of hope, like he could help her get home.

"You're Lord Hades' son. Like in Mal's little brother?" Ruby asked, looking him up and down. Hadie nodded but before he could say anything in response, they were interrupted by a very familiar laugh.

"Uma!" Hadie exclaimed, whirling around and crossing his arms.

"Well, well, well, looks like we have another AK here," Harry said, walking up to them as Uma stood there and looked at Ruby.

"What do you want Hook?" Hadie asked as he stood in front of Ruby, trying to protect the frightened girl from the pirates. "Also…where's Gil?"

"We're rounding up all the AKs, Gil's watching them to make sure they don't run off and get hurt," Uma told him, walking closer to the two of them. "For some reason the barrier's back up and we want answers."

"Wait, you can't possibly think we put the barrier back up?" Ruby asked despite her fear. "Why would we do that? Mal's been a fantastic Queen to be and Ben would rather die than put the barrier up or close the Isle at all!"

"Well from what I've heard, a great darkness has covered Auradon and has sent most of the Auradonian people along with the other VKs to be banished here," Hadie told his cousin, looking Uma straight in the eye.

"Wait, what darkness?" Uma asked, looking a little taken aback. "I came back to the Isle to fetch something for Mal. When I tried to leave, I saw that the barrier was back up."

"You don't know then?" Hadie asked, a small laugh to his voice as he looked to Ruby and then back to Uma. "All I know is that I was watching the television when Snow White said that there was purplish blue smoke covering most of Auradon and burning whatever it touches."

"Well this sounds like your father's work," Uma said angrily. "And if it is, and if I know Mal, she won't be happy with him turning his back on her."

"I don't think it's his work," Hadie said softly.

"Why?" Uma asked, crossing her arms as Harry subtly fingered his hook. "Last I heard, he wanted revenge on the Auradon people."

Hadie sighed. "It's not his work because of Mal," he said before turning around and walking over to a nearby table. He picked up a photo of Ben, Mal and Hades before turning back to Harry, Uma and Ruby. "You see this photo? Ben came around looking for me last month, asking me if I wanted to join Auradon Prep. I said no."

"Why stay here?" Harry asked. "You could rule with your sister if you went across the bridge."

Hadie sighed. "When I said no, Ben gave me this and promised that Mal would help anytime we needed it. You see, my mother was a sidekick to one of the worst villains known to anyone. She told me I must never trust my father. So I'd rather stay here than go there, in their world."

"But you're saying it's not Hades? Why?" Uma asked.

"Because when Ben left this here, he told me that Mal had changed dad's heart and that he no longer wanted revenge on Auradon."

"I see," Uma sighed. "So…who else could this be?"

Hadie could only shake his head, he didn't know the answer anymore than his cousin did. Glancing over toward Auradon, the darkness that was surrounding it only made Hadie thankful for the barrier for the first time in his life. Sure it meant he couldn't get out…but it meant that whatever was causing that darkness couldn't get in.

The only bad thing was that Uma couldn't help Mal solve what was going on seeing as she was once again stuck on the Isle with the others. Judging by the darkness, Mal was going to need all the help she could get.

"Look…we should work together," Uma said, looking at her little cousin. "I worked with your sister once, to take down Sleeping Brat. I'll work with you now. We need to break the barrier. We need to help Mal. Besides, as much fun as it is to see AKs cowering behind the barrier and finally see what it was like for us all those years, I can't put up with their whining for much longer."

"Sounds good," Hadie sighed. "What's the plan?"

Uma took out her mother's necklace and smiled at him. Hadie wasn't going to lie, he felt chills running down his spine at the sight.

"Let's see what this puppy can do," she said with a smirk.
