I'm trying my best to get back into the swing of things, believe me. Fall is a lot easier to write so expect more from me in the upcoming months, not weeks.
Disclaimer: I don't own descendants, 2015 or I'd focus more on the villains because they're always my favorite.
Cornelia's Revenge
Harry, not exactly happy at all to being abruptly awoken from his slumber, swatted at the ignorant fly before rolling on his side.
"HARRY!" Uma yelled, just about waking up the entire ship.
Startled into the waking world, Harry jumped to his feet, hook in front of him for protection. "U... Uma?"
"Where's Gil?" Uma questioned for the second time.
Harry, for the first time, took an entire examination of the room to find that, in fact, Gil was nowhere in the vicinity. "He's gone."
"No duh." Uma frowned, tossing items this way and that like a mad dog. Harry noticed a nice looking necklace that was becoming buried with various other stuff.
"I might have been able to catch him when he left if I wasn't drugged." Harry pointed out.
Uma shook her head, obviously not even trying to entertain being in the wrong, "and then when would you have gone to sleep?"
"When I'm tired." Harry retorted as he placed his hat that fell when he was so abruptly woken up.
"I don't have time for this, we need to find Gil," Uma then jabbed a finger in Harry's chest who was following from behind, "you stay here and watch the ship."
"I'd be a lot more help if I was out there searching." Harry frowned buttoning up his jacket.
Uma sighed, "I know, but I just got you back so do this for me. Okay?"
Harry nodded his head seeing the pleading look in her eyes, "Ok, but if you're not back by lunch, I'm coming for you."
"Bet." Uma left Harry with a couple of pirates, while she took the rest for the search of Gil. Harry, meanwhile, tried to occupy his mind with the piece of jewelry that seemed familiar yet he had never seen it before.
Gil woke up disoriented when a bucket of water was splashed onto him. Blinking his eyes open, he was met with the disapproving look of Cornelia. His wrists and stomach were tied tightly to a metal pole preventing any movement except his legs that were sticking out in front of him.
"I wasn't going to wait for you to wake up, especially since you went and took the one thing that had any meaning to me." Cornelia knelt in front of Gil showing him the small dagger she had concealed until now. "Do you really want to see the many different ways I can do to hurt you until I get the answer I want?"
Gil gulped, in all honesty he hadn't a clue where he had misplaced the piece of jewelry. "I've had worse."
Cornelia raised her eyebrow before she cut a small scratch on his right cheek, allowing the blood to slowly trickle down his face and onto the ground.
"Uma's going to come looking for me." Gil chuckled while Cornelia cleaned off the dagger.
"I'm counting on it. I have a score to settle with her." Cornelia smiled patting his cut cheek. "That's why Brick has gone to fetch her."
Brick had been sitting in Ursula's fish 'n chips for the past hour waiting for a certain Captain to show up. The entire time he was there was boring, since his last fiasco with Cornelia at this place, he decided to keep to himself. Glancing towards the entrance, his eyes were finally met with the presence of Uma.
He watched her hurriedly walk into the backroom. Standing up, he made his way towards the bar and waited for her to come back out. It didn't take long at all.
"Hey." Brick grabbed her arm which raised a couple eyebrows.
Uma, seeing who it was, grabbed him by the collar, "Where's Gil. I won't ask a second time."
Brick chuckled. Letting go of her arm just like she did. "Don't worry, I was here just for that reason but if you bring anyone with you, Gil dies."
The few pirates who were in the room murmured amongst themselves, obviously they believed him to be lying. Uma wasn't taking any chances.
"Fine. Let's go, nobody follow us. Am I clear? Harry's captain until I return." Uma instructed before she followed her guide.
The silence was deafening after awhile, Brick didn't feel like talking because he had no beef with her and Uma was too annoyed to start a conversation, so they walked in silence.
"Put this on." Brick ordered, handing her a black mask with no eye holes.
Uma placed the item on her head while Brick continued to lead her in the unknown. They had walked for what seemed like 30 minutes before they stopped. Brick let go of her for a minute, before he continued to lead her. She heard a door open before she was pushed inside.
"Uma?" It was Gil's voice. The cloth was ripped off her head where she was met with a slightly injured Gil.
"Are you okay?" Uma questioned taking a step towards him.
A laugh echoed from the chamber they were currently standing in. Uma turned around to see Cornelia walking from behind an evil smirk gracing her features.
Uma frowned at the thorn that's been broken in half only to strike the other side. "Cornelia. What's the meaning of this?"
Cornelia unsheathed her sword as Brick menacingly advanced from behind causing Uma to get a little bit worried.
"It's just revenge sweetheart." Cornelia smiled.
