Okay This chapter is going to be pretty Hugh Heavy so please tell me what you think.
The five VKs sat down in remedial goodness 101 class, none of them weren't too interested in the class they were barley paying attention. Mal and Evie were sitting beside one another, Mal was sketching and Evie decided to listen to this next question for once, Hugh, Jay and Carlos were sitting together at a table across from the girls, Carlos was sitting with his arms crossed zoned out, Jay was looking out the window looking at the students walking past it wondering if they had anything worth stealing on them, Hugh was tapping his metal fingers on the table. 'If someone hands you a crying baby, do you, A, curse it? B, lock it in a tower? C, give it a bottle? Or D, carve out its heart? Evie' Fairy God Mother asked the blue haired girl. 'What was the second one?' she asked sure it was the right answer. Fairy God Mother frowned 'Okay anyone else, Mal?' Fairy Good Mother asked. She looked up from her sketch, 'C, you give it a bottle' Mal said sweetly. Carlos looked at her impressed, 'You are on fire girl' He said. 'Just pick the one that seems like the least fun' Mal said sounding like her old self, Her four friends all simultaneously said oh. Then suddenly a girl walked in, she was wearing a teal dress, had a small nose and lips, her black hair was short. She ran past the VKs, she was obviously scared of them, Mal noticed she was scared, she looked at her like an eagle looking at their prey. The girl asked Fairy God Mother to sign some papers. 'Oh, have you five met my daughter Jane' Fairy God Mother said as turned Jane around to face the VKs. 'Mom no' Jane whispered. None of the VKs said anything when Jane faced them Mal was the only one paying her any attention. 'Hi. That's okay, don't mind me. As you were' Jane said before walking out of the room very vast, nearly running. 'Let's continue. You find a vial of poison. Do you, A, put it in the king's wine? B, paint it on an apple? Or C, turn it over to the proper authorities?' said Fairy God Mother. Now taking Mal's advice, her four friends hands all shot up. Jay wrestled Carlos and Hugh's hands down. 'Jay' Fairy God Mother said. 'C. You turn it over to the proper authorities' Jay said cockily. 'I was going to say that' Carlos said annoyed. 'Yeah but I said it first, come on who said it first' Jay said then grabbed Carlos in a head lock and started rubbing his head with his knuckles, then he raised him up on top of the desk. Hugh looked at them wrestling then smirked, he slammed his fists on the table then joined the scuffle, he started pulling at Jay's shoulders while Carlos pulled his legs. Fairy God Mother started tabbing her pedestal and raising her voice. 'Boys. I am gonna encourage you to use that energy on the tourney field' she said. They boy's had stopped fighting. 'Oh, no. That's okay. Whatever that is, We'll... We'll pass' Carlos said. 'Nonsense, I'll put your names down for try outs now, try outs are at lunch' Fairy God Mother said sweetly. 'Thanks' Hugh said putting on a fake smile. The five VKs all met up outside the classroom when the bell rung. 'So what are you all doing for the rest of the day?' Hugh asked his friends. 'I've got a plan on how to get the wand, I just need to talk to that Jane girl' Mal said with a smirk as she thought about her plan more. 'Well good luck with that, I got chemistry after lunch, I hear there are a few princes in that class so I'm looking forward to it" Evie said while looking off into the distance fantasising about princes. 'well I got to go to those tourney try-outs now, I got nothing else really after that' Carlos said slightly annoyed he has to go to try-outs. 'Same. What about you Hugh?' Jay asked. 'Try-outs, then I'm heading to the docks with the swimming team, steal a few ships' Hugh told them 'Alright then meet in my dorm after all that and we'll talk about the wand more' Mal whispered, they all nodded then split up.
Carlos, Hugh and Jay walked onto the tourney fields wearing tourney uniforms, Carlos was carrying a shield and hurl, Jay and Hugh were just carrying hurls. They looked around the tourney fields. Jay started eyeing up the competition, they didn't seem like threats. Hugh started swinging his hurl around like a sword and smiled with glee. Carlos just wandered around aimlessly. 'Jay, Ben, offense. Chad, Hugh you're defence. Taylor, you're the shooter' The coach yelled. He noticed Carlos standing in the middle of the kill zone. 'Hey, you. Lost boy! Put your helmet on. Get out of the kill zone! Come on' He yelled. Carlos walked out of. The whistle blew and Jay and Chad ran into the kill zone to get the ball, Jay ran ahead dodging every shot from the cannons dodging and pushing everyone out of his way. Hugh stood near his goal, unsure of what to do. Then someone started marking him, they bumped into him. Hugh glared at him and his brow narrowed, the man took a step back in fear, Hugh ran at him and shouldered him hard, knocking him to the floor. Hugh screamed with anger letting his rage get control of him. He ran towards the kill-zone, he was attacking everyone he saw, by shouldering them, tripping them or just hitting them with his hurl. He stood in the Kill-Zone flipping and rolling out of the fire. Jay was in the opposite team's side of the field, he had the ball, Carlos was standing in front of the goal using his shield to block everything that could hurt him in the slightest. The ball was knocked away from Jay and into the Kill-zone. Hugh saw the Ball coming straight for him and he swung his hurl at it and sent it flying back, it flew past Jay and Jay chased it while dodging and shoving. Hugh looked at the man who knocked the ball that almost hit him dead in the eyes and pointed his hurl at him, then he raised his metal arm and used it to block a shot from one of the canons, then he grunted at sprinted at the man who knocked the ball his way. The man ran away from Hugh, but Hugh was too fast. Hugh swept the man's legs causing him to trip. Hugh then turned around and saw almost all the opposing team running at him, they were trying to stop Jay from scoring, but Hugh didn't care, he just gripped his hurl like a sword. He swung his hurl into their stomachs and legs, tripping and winding them, he then saw someone with a shield run at him, Hugh reacted quickly by grabbing the shield with his metal arm, denting it, then throwing it at another man trying to run past him. Jay easily scored the final goal, buy jumping on Carlos, then he started dancing and celebrating. Carlos got up and brushed himself off, Hugh darted his eyes around the field looking if anyone was coming at him. 'Come on, come on, anyone else want some, huh' Hugh said aggressively. They all stopped when the coach called them over. 'What do you call that? I call that raw talent. Come find me later. I'll show you something you haven't seen before. It's called a rule book. Welcome to the team, son' he said to Jay then turned his attention to Hugh. 'And you. That was aggressive, dial it back a bit and only do that to the opposite team, you'll be our best defence. You're on the team' then he looked at Carlos. 'You ever thought about band?' Carlos looked down in disappointment. 'I'll work with him coach' Ben said to everyone's surprise. 'All right. Let's run that again' coach said. They all turned around and walked back to the field, except Chad, who looked at Jay angrily, Jay was unfazed he just shoulder checked him as he walked to the field.
Hugh went to his dorm to change for swimming, He took off all his cloths and put on his wine-red swimming trunks with a cream white streak at the sides. He looked at himself in the mirror and looked at his blood red large scar where his metal arm meets his skin at the shoulder. He frowned after looking at it then put on a black and white stripped shirt to hide the scar. Then walked out of his room, he saw a few people all wearing swimming gear heading out of the school, Hugh knew they were on the team, so he followed them to the docks. When Hugh got to the docks, he was one of the last ones there, he saw a group of people standing at the beach a little bit away from the docks talking to each other. Hugh could see many different ships, he could see yachts, speedboats and dinghies. This is definitely the luxury docks he thought. Hugh sat down on a rock and waited for practice to start. 'What's with the T-shirt pirate? Why don't you show us your muscles?' one of the swimming members asked. Hugh looked at him dead in the eyes. 'Shut it' He said. The man instantly backed off. After a few more minutes of waiting someone spoke very loudly. 'Here comes the captain everyone'. To Hugh's surprise everyone then bowed at the girl who started walking towards the group. The girl had coal black hair, a small nose and lips, slightly pale skin. She was a bit short but walked with confidence, she was wearing a long red and white swimsuit. 'Come on guys, you don't need to do this every time' the girl laughed, 'Oh but we do your majesty, we've never had a princess as our captain' one of the members said in a stereotypical royal voice. The team stopped bowing and stood back up straight. 'Okay, so we've got a new member today. Where are you?" She asked. 'I'm here' Hugh said making his way to the front of the group. 'Alright, I'm Melody, Ariel's daughter, who are you?' she asked while extending her hand for a handshake. When Hugh got out from the crowd and stood closer to Melody, he stopped dead in his tracks, he didn't know what it was but she had some sort of, glow about her, it was like she was the only thing Hugh could see for a few seconds. Hugh snapped out of his trance and shook her hand with his metal one. 'I'm Hugh Hook" He said distracted. As Melody and Hugh shook hands, Melody looked at Hugh's metal arm. Hugh knew that look, she was going to think he's a weirdo, or a freak. 'Cool' Melody said to Hugh's shock, after he heard her say that Hugh smiled, it felt weird. Melody's eyes shifted from Hugh's arm to his eyes, they shared that gaze for a few seconds. 'okay, let's get into the water and do some warm ups' Melody said before running into the water, the rest of her team following her. Except Hugh, he stood there for a minute trying to process the feelings he just felt, then he shook his head and remembered why he was here. He ran into the water, the sooner he gets started the sooner this'll be over, and he can be sailing away on a new ship.
When practice was over Hugh was the first out of the water. He hid behind a large rock and waited for everyone else to leave. Everyone walked past without noticing Hugh, once they were all out of sight, Hugh started to make his way to the ships. He stood at the docks surrounded by ships, all he could do was smile. He walked around trying to decide what ship to take, he boarded a yacht and walked over to the helm with glee. As he gripped the helm with his two hands then he noticed something. He saw an old schooner, the classic top pick for pirates, It hard worn down and slightly torn white sails, its wood hull was splitting and old, it's colours were red, white and gold. Hugh instantly dashed over to the ship. He boarded it with wicked glee, he looked around and took it all in, yes the ship was old and run down, but there was nothing Hugh couldn't fix. So he raised the anchor, set sail and grabbed the helm. He could've sworn he heard something strange when he raised the anchor, but he didn't care he was sailing a ship. The wind was in his hair and sail, the waves hitting the ship sounded wonderful, Hugh laughed, sinisterly. Then his enjoyment was interrupted when he heard something that sounded like a scream, it got Hugh's attention. He looked right and saw a fin, a shark fin. Hugh was confused, I didn't think there were any sharks in Auradon, he thought, but then Hugh got a brilliant idea. A shark, now that's a good fight, if this doesn't prove he's a fighter to his Dad nothing will, he thought. So Hugh jumped down to the main deck and ran into the captain's deck to see if there were any weapons. He noticed and old slightly rusted sword hung on the wall. He grabbed the sword and ran back to the main deck. He grabbed onto a rope and swung on it then dived into the ocean, very close behind the shark. Hugh swam fast to the shark, it looked like t was trying to get into an opening in between some rocks. Hugh grabbed the sharks back fin with his metal arm and with all his might threw him near the surface. Hugh swam after it, he surfaced, took a deep breath then swam back down, narrowly avoiding the shark, it grabbed a loose piece of Hugh's shirt ripping it off. After a lot of slashing, biting and punching, Hugh won. He resurfaced and caught his breath. Hugh decided to see what the shark was trying to get in between the rocks, so he swims down to have a look, and when he looked into the opening, he saw Melody coming towards him. Melody and Hugh walk ashore, Melody holding on to Hugh because she was a little shaken up. When they were back on the beach a small crowd gathered around them. 'What happened we heard screaming?' some one said. 'Mad black fin, he escaped, but, Hugh saved me' Melody said, then looked at Hugh having realized what Hugh did for her. 'But black fin, was trapped in a cave, because of the anchor of' one of the members of the crowd said before stopping and looking past Hugh and Melody. 'That ship' the man said pointing at the ship Hugh stole. 'You stole it didn't you?' the man asked Hugh angry. Hugh was about to talk but Melody spoke first. 'That doesn't matter. He helped, and how was he supposed to know about black fin' Melody said with sass. 'Alright I'm fine, just leave me alone' Melody told everyone who was looking at Hugh. After the crowd dispersed Hugh was about to walk off but Melody called him back. 'Hugh, thanks a lot, you fought for good, nobody expected a VK to fight for good' Melody told him sincerely with a sweet laugh. She then ran over to her bag and pulled out an MP3 player. 'Here, to show my gratitude' she said as she gave the MP3 player to Hugh. Hugh reached out his metal hand to take it, as he did he say Melody looking at his scar, Hugh turned and tried to cover it, he was embarrassed. 'It's okay, I think it's cool, makes you look tough' She said. Hugh turned back, looked at his scar and smiled. 'Okay, well, I'll see you later' She said kindly before leaving. 'See you' Hugh said back happy. Melody's words echoed in his head, fought for good. You can do that, he thought. Hugh looked at the MP3 player and put in the earphones and played a song, its beat was catchy and soft, he walked back to Auradon Prep, slightly dancing.
After he showered and changed, Hugh walked towards Mal and Evie's dorm where they had discussed to meet earlier. As he walked down the hall to the girls dorm, he saw Jane and another girl Hugh hadn't yet met walk out, and they had great hair. 'How'd things go" Hugh said in a cheery mood, which was rare for him, as he walked into the dorm. Mal was flicking through her spell book, Evie was doing homework at her desk. 'Not now Hugh' Mal said as she continued to look through her spell book. 'Alright, what about you Evie?' Hugh asked as he crossed his arms and took a seat on the opposite side of the desk from Evie. Evie looked up from her homework. 'Oh I met a princess and now If I do his homework we can hang out more' Evie said with a sigh, she was obviously fantasising about the prince. Hugh looked at her strangely. 'Are you sure you should be doing his homework, I mean, if he wants to hang out he should just hangout with you' Hugh said trying to convince Evie he was right. 'That doesn't matter, he's a prince' She said still fantasising. 'What about you Hugh, you steal that ship?' Mal asked not looking up from her spell book. 'I sailed it out of the docks, but then I fought a shark and saved a princess' Hugh said casually. 'You charge her protection money like always?' Evie asked. 'Actually no, but she gave me this MP3 player, It was pretty nice' Hugh said with a smile remembering. Both girls 'ooo-ed' in a high pitch voice teasing him. 'shut up' Hugh laughed along with the rest of them. Then suddenly Carlos walked in being followed by a dog. 'Carlos, don't freak out, but there's a dog behind you' Hugh said slowly while getting in position to grab Carlos when he started running away from the dog. 'Oh I know, this is Dude, he's really sweet' Carlos said calmly to everyone's surprise. 'Okay' Evie said slightly confused as the boy she knew as the dog fearer was walking with one. Carlos sat down at the foot at Mal's bed and Dude laid down beside him. 'Ben help you with tourney?' Hugh asked still confused, happy that Carlos wasn't afraid, but still confused. 'Yeah, it was great, It's where I found Dude' He said petting the dog. Then suddenly Mal grunted in anger as she couldn't find the right spell. Her three friends silently agreed to keep quite until she calmed down a bit. A few minutes Jay walked in wearing a Fighting Knights jersey and started posing like a model. His four friends laughed and admired the jersey. 'Maybe leave the strutting to Evie' Hugh joked. 'Did your plan work with Jane? Are you going over to see the wand?' Jay asked Mal. 'Do you think that I would be going through every single spell in this book. If I hadn't completely struck out?' Mal said annoyed, Jay took a step back. 'Oh, someone's in a bad mood' Jay said quietly. 'My mom's counting on me! I can't let her down' Mal said defensively. 'We can do this... If we stick together' Jay said sincerely. Everyone looked up at him when he said that and agreed. 'And we won't go back until we do. Because we're rotten' Mal said then the five of them finished the phrase simultaneously. 'To the core' They all stayed silent for a few seconds. 'oh, yeah. I found out that fairy godmother blesses Ben with the wand at coronation and we all get to go. I have nothing to wear, of course' Evie said Casually, caring more about her clothing issue instead of the information on the wand. Her four friends all looked at her shocked because she kept the information to herself. Then they heard a knock on the door. 'Hold that thought' Mal said before getting up to answer the door, It was Ben. 'Hey, Mal. I didn't see you guys today. I was just wondering If you had any questions or anything... That... you needed...' He said nervously when he saw Mal. 'Not that I know of' Mal said wanting to get rid of him. 'Okay. All right. Well, uh, If you need anything, just, uh...' Ben said still nervous. 'Oh, wait! Um, is it true that we all get to go to your coronation?' Mal asked. 'Yeah, the whole school goes' Ben told her. 'Wow. That is beyond exciting. Do you think that It's a possibility that the four of us could stand in the front row next to the Fairy Godmother, just so we could soak up all that goodness?' Mal said trying to sound sweet. 'wish you could. Up front It's just me, my folks, and my girlfriend' Ben said apologized. 'and your girlfriend?' Mal asked as an idea sparked in her mind. 'Okay thank, bye' Mal said as she closed the door. She turned around to her friends and smiled menacingly. 'I think It's time that Bennyboo got himself a new girlfriend. And I need a love spell' Mal said sinisterly, the held her hands out for someone to pass her, her spell book. Carlos tossed it to her and the five VKs all smiled evilly to each other, they knew what Mal was thinking, and it was a great plan.
