Since people are actually still reading this story, I decided to update today rather than tomorrow.
Warning: torture, slight - very slight romance, you probably need to squint in all honestly. Huma is my drug so Audrey needs to back the flip up.
Chapter 5
Harry heard Audrey's request with a grain of salt. He had no intentions of going through with her plan, although it was a bold one. As soon as she opened that cell, he was going to retaliate. Picking himself off the floor, Harry grabbed the vines that separated him from his captor. "Sae me bein' yer lapdog, is whit ah git fur helping ye?"
Audrey looked at her nail polish, noticing a blemish that would definitely need work sooner rather than later. "Uh, yeah. It's a pretty sweet deal, better than what you have right now."
If he wasn't currently confined behind such an irregular structure, Harry would've had his hands wrapped tightly around Audrey's throat. Instead, all he could do was scoff in amusement. She was right, though, his current situation was dire. He knew that Uma and Gil were doing everything in their power to rescue him, but would that be enough against her? "Gimme mah hook 'n' ah wull see it."
Audrey raised her eyebrow in confusion. She couldn't quite understand everything that the pirate was saying, and this was no different. His accent was too heavy for the Auradonian and Harry could clearly see that what he had just said made no sense to the pink princess.
"Hook - equals - deal. Git it?" Harry clarified using his hands as an illustration. The realization seemed to dawn on the daughter of sleeping beauty.
A huge grin broke out upon Audrey's face. Grabbing her staff, the magical object lit up. The room was enveloped with an overflowing amount of pink light. As suddenly as the light appeared, it was gone, and in her hands was Harry's hook. "As good as done."
He hadn't expected her to deliver on her part of the deal that quickly. Yes, he had thought of a few contingency plans, but none that ever ended in his favor. Audrey held the hook through the bars, this was too easy. Harry was hesitant, failing to notice the slight flicker of resentment in her face as he reached for his prized weapon. In the blink of an eye, the weapon disappeared and Audrey had a strong hold on the front of the first mates shirt. "Do you really think I'm that stupid?"
Harry struggled against her grip but to no prevail. It was almost like he was up against a concrete wall, she was immovable. Flippin' magic. "Ah dinnae ken whit ye mean lass." Could she have seen what might of happened in the future? Was that in her bag of tricks?
A coy smile played on her lips before her hand started glowing in a daunting dark pink color mixed with a hint of black. He could feel the tingling sensation of the lightning that was slowly being coursed through his veins before the intensity spiked at an alarming rate. The scream that ripped through his mouth was astonishing, almost as if he was witnessing the action and not the one causing it. It felt like a thousand needs pricking his skin. Then it changed to a thousand needles stabbing his insides. He felt himself falling but he did not realize she stopped until his body hit the floor.
"I've had enough of your games Hook." Audrey seethed stepping into the cell. The vines that had once separated the two, was now parted like the red sea.
Harry did not know when he closed his eyes, his body still trying to recover from the electric shock. Breathing heavily, Harry attempted to stand up, using the wall as a heavy crutch but only making it to one knee. Who knew being shocked could be such a thrill. "We wur playin'?"
Audrey stopped in her tracks, kneeling down to his level. "Hook, line, and sinker pretty boy." She grasped Harry by the chin roughly, forcing his blue eyes to stare into hers. This trick was going to be used on Chad, but the AK was so scared of her transformation that he complied to whatever she said. "Now, you will do as I say."
At those words, Harry immediately closed his eyes, having heard the horror stories of mind control. But somehow, she was in his head, like her dark magic was creeping underneath his skin and merging with his subconscious. His body tried to fight it off, using every ounce of his strength to repel the stench that was Audrey's magic.
Audrey hissed in discomfort, the magic surrounding the pirate slowly fading away, "how are you resisting?"
"Some say, loue is th' strongest sort o' magic..." Harry grounded between huffs of breath before falling to the ground on all fours, "Ah jalouse thay wur right." His body was still shaking at such a supernatural attack. He could not formulate one English sentence to save his life, reverting back to his Scottish heritage as he mumbled some more words. "Yer mental Audrey, ahh..." The words slurred into nothingness, Harry falling unconscious on his side at the feet of his captor for the second time.
Audrey's face was that of anger, the silence so thick that one could hear a pen drop. Using her foot, as her magic had been drained by that whole ordeal, Audrey kicked Harry in the stomach not stopping until she heard a deafening crack sound. It startled her, as she never expected that she was capable to injure anyone to that degree, never mind her intentions. Despite the fact that he could not feel it, she knew that he would eventually, and that was all that mattered.
Uma stared up at the sky with a lost gaze. They had been walking for hours and the sun was starting to go down. What if it was too late? Would she have to add to her long list of grievances concerning Auradon? They weren't that far off, but Uma always thought the worse. It was only natural, since Gil was such an optimistic person."Pick up the pace Gil."
There will probably be one or two more chapters left. I hope you have enjoyed this series so far! Thank you ScarClawdeenNightWitch for reviewing, it really means a lot.
