Audrey's P.O.V
It was beautiful;everyone was in their finest outfits,dancing with somebody. Except for me,of course. Well I don't blame them. After all,I did spell Auradon,didn't I? Yes,I'd be scared too if someone else had done it and not me. But it was me,I lashed out on Auradon. I stare at Mal and Ben,looking happy,Mal showing off her engagement ring to the VKs who just crossed the bridge. Am I happy for them? No,not really. Apology or no apology, Mal stole Ben from me. She clearly couldn't see my heart snap;Couldn't see the light in my eyes switch off. I don't wanna hear anyone say 'But you have Chad!'
Please,give me a break. He's flirting with Snow,daughter of Snowwhite! Ah yes,a true gentleman (note the sarcasm). Now,if I had Ben again, I'd tighten my grip on him. I'd hold him so tight,my knuckles would be white. I'd tie him up and tie him again. I wouldn't let some...VK snatch him away! But I don't have Ben again. It's just me. Audrey Rose, by myself. Whatever...I can live by myself. Yes, a chance to discover myself;Be more independent. Yes,totally! But if I'm gonna be independent,I'd have to make it seem I'm fine with dancing by myself. Am I fine with dancing by myself? No,not really. Not with everyone with somebody,I'm not. But that's the point, right? I don't have someone.
So I'll dance on my own! It's nothing to be ashamed of! So that's what I do. I laugh,I smile, I grin. I put on a mask to cover up my heart cracking inside my chest. I spin for a while, my mind leaving my body and my mind dancing to Ben. What would happen if Mal never came? We'd be engaged! I'd be wearing a beautiful pink dress and have a wedding ring with the Ruby the size of an apple! How amazing,would that be? My mind flashes back to reality when I find myself spinning through a crowd of people. My mind doesn't have enough time to stop the motion before I bump into someone. He grabs my waist to stop me from spinning away. He's wearing a red leather vest,with a white thing (A/N: I have no idea what the white thing tucked in his vest is called!) poking out of it. His pants are sewn together with patches of silk,and he has thick guyliner applied around his icy eyes. His raven bangs are swept away from his face,and his leather gloves feel securing.
"Woah!" I gasp in shock. We stare at eachother,his eyes locking mine. They seem so wonderful, as if I can get lost in his eyes. He stared at me,smiling uncontrollably.
"Hi!" He says quickly, as if he's nervous by me.
"Hi," I smile back. Forgetting about the independent idea,I curtsey to him, and grab his hand. I smile and pull him into the crowd, and let the music take over my body. Grabbing his hook in his other hand,I dance with him,taking quick steps back and steps foreward. Our steps fall in sync,and we find ourselves fitting rather nicely in the crowd. He smiles as he spins me around.
"What's your name,lass?" He asks me,his rough Scottish voice making my heart light up.
"Audrey Rose," I smile,letting myself fall into his arms,and then jumping back up.
"Harry Hook," He says with a wink,spinning me again. The band plays faster and we move quicker,Harry sweeping my hair away from my face as he and I jump and elegantly fall back to the ground.
"Like the Pirate's son?" I ask,grinning as he does a back-flip.
"Nah,lass. Queen of Heart's son. 'Course the Pirate!" He cried sarcastically, a grin on his face. I laugh in response;I actually meant the laugh.
"So what were you doin' lass?" He asks,and I quirk my eyebrows in confusion.
"Hm?" I ask,frowning slightly.
"Ye know...When we were saving ye behinds." He reminds me. Oh Great...A reminder.
"Uhh well I was sort of.." I stammer, and he has a confused look on his face.
"You were what? Spelled? Alone? Trapped? Turned to stone?" The questions hit me like a tone of bricks. All the pain I coursed...I caused it. I blush,and I begin to step back,fear clouding over me.
"I...I need to go." I tremble, before picking up my pink dress and run off,a confused Harry behind me.
"Aurdrey...?" He calls. It's too late. I'm already in the woods...
