Lizzie's POV

I spent the weekend with the crew hanging out at the Chip Shoppe, the usual tedious stuff of life on this island and that wasn't a lot and that was the main thing that sucked living under this dome that life was tedious and boring, the only reprieve was when it was just Harry and me either walking around the Isle or hanging out on the deck of the Jolly Rodger with him teaching me the art of sailing or refreshing our swordsmanship skills with playful rounds of swordplay.

He'd given me a new sword since my mother had taken mine and who knows what happened to it since they hadn't found it along with my jacket which Gil told me was thrown out and he'd bought it back from one of the sellers at the bazaar who'd found it and was trying to sell it but they hadn't found my sword so Harry had given me one and I was learning how it felt in my hand since it was slightly weighted differently to my old cutlass.

"Keep your eyes up, feet spread apart-" I rolled my eyes at Harry's instructions as we fought on the lower deck of the Jolly Rodger, Harriet standing nearby a smirk on her face whenever I had the upper hand against him clearly enjoying the fight between me and her brother.

I smirked swinging forward pushing him down a little as he blocked before he pushed back making me jump across the hull access hatches and he jumped over doing his usual fancy spin while coming down with a high swing, I ducked out of the way and tapped my sword against his back thus winning a point and smirked wider at him.

"Two-Lizzie, One-Harry" Harriet smirked being our score keeper. "Tell me you're not letting her off easy brother?"

"Maybe" Harry smirked and I scoffed shaking my head.

"Puh-lease" I shot back at him as we positioned for another round.

"It's good form to let a lady believe she's wining" he smirked before we went into another round, the clings and clangs of our swords the only noise on the deck until I felt my feet catch in a coil of ropes and nearly go stumbling over the side of the deck but Harry's hand shot out to grab my arm pulling me back just in time and his laughter followed, I glared at him raising my sword into his throat and pushed him back into the mast.

"It's bad form to laugh at your girlfriend Harry, especially when she was kicking your ass" Harriet laughed nearly doubling over on her spot atop the barrels she was sitting on. "I like her even more" I smiled over at Harriet as I dropped my sword from his throat and slid it into the loop of my belt.

"Seems the pupil has outlearnt her teacher" I smirked at Harry.

"Yeh got lucky princess, you'd be swimming if I wasn't chivalrous" Harry remarked with a very bruised ego but he smirked and bowed to me. "But I'll admit yeh getting better"

"Better, she totally whooped your butt"

"Shut it Harriet" he bit back at her and I smiled before I bowed back at Harry.

"I took a lucky shot" I admitted walking towards Harriet and sat down on the barrel next to her.

"You don't need to kiss his ass you know" she told me barely above a whisper.

"Oh believe me I know" I smirked back and she nodded her head.

"Well that was enough fun" she stood up and I frowned knowing where she was heading, it was Monday and she was a loyal student at Dragon Hall meaning she was off to school, a place I've avoided in fear of being alone and without Harry, a place where my mother could get me. "You should come and Harry should be going back to Serpent Prep"

"Like hell" Harry remarked coming over and put his arm over my shoulders. "I'm not letting her out of me sight" Harriet rolled her eyes but she knew about my mother since a few nights ago she'd finally questioned why I was staying with them and I decided to tell her since I trusted Harriet.

"I'll look after her Harry, this is our last year of school and it's important" Harriet was very much the maternal figure of the Hook family since their mother had died when her and Harry were very young and despite them only being nine months apart Harriet was a lot more mature than Harry was.

"Not happening" Harry stated and even I rolled my eyes pushing his arm off my shoulders.

"I might actually go" I told him and his eyes widened. "Who knows maybe I'll run into the traitors" there was a lot of talk over the past couple of days about this new VK program of more kids going to Auradon and Mal was being seen more and more across the Isle, Harry and I haven't run into them yet but that was purely by our choice.

"Then I'm coming with yeh, I'll transfer back to Dragon Hall" he argued.

"No Harry, you look after the crew at Serpent Prep, I'll handle Dragon Hall" the crew's been pretty divided lately with the missing glue that was Uma holding us together and while Harry and I were doing our best it was becoming hard to keep us all together, I grabbed his hand and we walked below deck to his room. "Uma's gone and they are losing faith in her and in us as a united front Harry and lets be honest you and I haven't been that invested in them as of late which isn't good, I'll be fine with Harriet and Gil there to keep me away from my mother and Ace, trust me"

"I don't trust them" he growled out angrily.

"I don't either but I'll be safe and I'll see you this afternoon" he rolled his eyes at me.

"Why are yeh so stubborn?"

"Because I am and you love that about me otherwise we wouldn't have lasted this long as friends or as a couple" I shot back at him and he smirked knowing I was right, Harry loved that I challenged him and he challenged me, it's what made us work so well together.

"Yeh better be back here later"

"I will" I leant forward and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek before I grabbed my jacket off the coat rack by the door adding it to my outfit of my two toned jeans, a checked top and my rose embroidered boots with my jacket adding the right amount of Isle swag and my sword still strapped onto my belt. "Love you"

"Love you" he sent back appearing at my side grabbing my waist and pulled me in for an actual kiss before he leant back. "Stay safe love"

"You too" I told him since who knows if my mother will go after him to get to me, I hadn't seen Ace since our encounter in the Chip Shoppe and that had me worried on when and how they were gonna strike since my mother wasn't one to give up and not get her way.

I walked to Dragon Hall with Harriet, my hand on the hilt of my sword the entire way before we walked into the building and I relaxed a little as I parted away from Harriet walking towards my locker finding Gil standing next to it.

"You're here today!" he exclaimed surprised and I smiled at him.

"Figured I'd be fine at school" I shrugged taking my hat off and put it into my locker.

"I'm surprised Harry let you" I scoffed shutting my locker.

"If he had his way I'd never leave the Jolly Rodger"

"Well your just in time" Gil said as we started following the crowd of kids all headed in the direction of the crumbling auditorium which was odd since no one ever actually went to the usual Monday morning assembly except the scared first years.

"In time for what?" I questioned.

"Dr F said that the assembly was mandatory this morning and that there's some big announcement"

"Probably has something to do with the traitors new program" I scoffed as he found seats in the back of the hall with a few other of our crew sitting next to us just as Dr Facilier slunk into the room and a hush fell over the crowd.

"Good morning villains" he greeted getting up onto the decrepit stage that groaned and creaked with every step he took towards the center stopping at the microphone with a sneering Professor Tremaine and Coach Gaston behind him. "I have some special news" he announced eyes surveying the crowd of us students. "Transfer applications to Auradon Prep will be available today, these students will be allowed to leave the Isle of the Lost this summer and continue their studies in Auradon" I turned to Gil shooting him and 'I-told-you-so' look as whispers fell over the crowd all them with things like.

'Wasn't this what Mal was saying the other day'

'That was real'

'It wasn't a trap after all' and something about a roundtable gathering the traitors had tried to get people to attend in order to corrupt us to take their pitiful offer, while me, Gil and the rest of the crew stayed silent since there was no way in hell or highwater we're any of us filling out an application.

"The students that are chosen will be celebrated throughout the land and enjoy a spectacular welcome feast at the school, complete with a parade" Dr F kept going talking up the event I'm sure to appease to the minds of villains which was no doubt the traitors idea when they didn't get the reaction they'd hoped for. "Your names will be immortal and you will be known throughout the kingdom as the Isle's finest villains" I scoffed again since they'd just be traitors too since only four were going and that was unfair to the rest of us forced to continue to live under this dome trapped. "Remember only the wickedest of you will be chosen" he added with a laugh. "Auradon representatives will be back in a few weeks to announce their selections for the VK program, now go forth and do your evil deeds" he walked off the stage and disappeared back to his office leaving Tremaine and Gaston to hand out the applications at the front of the room.

"Let's go" I told the crew and we stood getting up and walked out past the eager group of students all collecting applications and I noticed Harriet was one of them along with Anthony Tremaine and Ginny Gothel, those two for their own vain reasons but I overheard Harriet as I was walking past after Ginny asked if she was going to fill one out.

"My sister CJ likes it there, so I'm a little curious" Harriet had replied and my eyes widened since I hadn't known CJ was in Auradon and Harry hadn't said anything about it which lead me to believe that even he hadn't known that because he would have said something by now if he did since it wasn't fair and made me angry that she was there already as well as curious on how she'd got off the Isle. "But Harry would never move to Auradon, not without his pirates or Ilizabeth" she added further making me frown especially with Ginny's reply.

"That's right, they're a thing now arent they?" she asked laughing making my fists clench.

"I think they love each other and I'm not against it" Harriet argued making me smile a little.

"So are you going to apply or not?" Ginny asked her changing the subject with a bitter look on her face which definitely made me smirk since I wasn't stupid to know that just about all the girls on the Isle liked Harry...I mean you only had to look at him and he wasn't apposed to using his good looks for an advantage and he had most of his life which gave him the title of the Isle's flirt.

"I'm not sure...maybe...fine I'll take one" Harriet finally decided and took one which made the frown return. "Actually give me three, I'm babysitting for the Smees tonight, maybe their kids want to apply" I grew tired of listening and left the hall just as the first bell for class rang and I begrudgedly went to it already over the day having heard all that and was in no mood for school so unsurprisingly by the time lunch came around I left Dragon Hall deciding to skip the rest of the day slipping out of the building unnoticed.

I walked through the bazaar skillfully stealing a few items off of the stalls smirking as I pocketed a couple of useless trinkets that I'd sell to Jafar later since he definitely needed the stock with his shelfs being near empty in the absence of Jay and Jafar practically hiding away in embarrassment for his sons betrayal before I decided to head to my special spot.

I headed towards the abandoned alleyway quickly checking my surroundings to see if anyone was looking before I pushed the plank aside and slipped through the gap letting the plank swing back into place and walked to the back of the alley and climbed up the rusted old fire escape to the top.

The instant my feet hit the roof I frowned at the mess, the shelter I'd made was toppled over, the old crates were all smashed and the old blanket torn to shreds, I knelt down finding a playing card amongst the mess and flipped it over seeing an Ace of Hearts and felt rage since this had been my sanctuary away from my mother and her goons ever since I was little but Ace had finally found it and ruined it, he'd destroyed my special place...the place that I went to to feel an ounce of happiness under my mother's iron hold.

"No more" I spoke to myself standing up and crumpled the card in my hand as I made my way off the roof and back through the alley way emerging with a purpose and a rage that I had never felt this strongly before but I was done fearing my mother and her goons knowing the only way I was ever going to feel safe was to get rid of them and that is exactly what I was going to do.

A/N: Almost finished with Escape from the Isle of the Lost then I'll be doing Descendants 3 so stay tuned.
