Here's the new one! I hope you'll enjoy it!
Nobody spoke. Until Gil finally asked,
"What are we gonna do?" Carlos and Jay both answered immediately.
"We're gonna save her!" They glanced at each other smiling a little because they just had an unplanned synchronized sentence.
"I mean, we've got to!" Carlos added afterward.
"But how do we even know that Hades'll even saver her? Will he even want to?" Harry reluctantly asked, not wanting to know the answer in case it wasn't positive.
"How do we know that he'll just agree so he'll get free then once he's out of the barrier, he'll escape and cause havoc?" Uma slowly voiced this possibility.
"Like you?" Carlos accused underneath his breath. He didn't want to start a fight, but he didn't stop himself from mumbling fast enough. However, Jay spun around to face Harry and Uma.
"How can you even say that?!" He glared hard at the two of them standing next to each other, almost as if to protect themselves. "Mal is dying and you expect me to leave her to the grave without even trying to help her first? You heard her! She was pleading, PLEADING for us to get him! I am NOT going to let my best friend since childhood die before I drag his undead butt here and make him heal her! You hear me?! You hear me?! I will NOT nor will I EVER do that!" By the time Jay finished his speech, Carlos and Evie were by his sides. Each having a hand on his upper arms as if to let him know they were there and/or to be prepared if he was gonna launch himself at the captain and the first mate of the Sea Tide Crew.
"Jay, I don't want to let her go either. You know how close the two of us were. But, Uma and I are just trying to think about the possibilities... along with the likelihoods. Jay, bud..." Harry walked up to him and gently slapped a hand on his shoulder maintaining eye contact. That's a habit that the VKs never broke and most likely will never do so. If you break eye contact on the Isle, you just became defined as weak along with a beat down. Harry resumed back to his explanation.
"I don't want to think that about this either, but... do you think Hades'll heal her willingly? I mean, he has never shown interest in her before as I can recall. We wouldn't have even suspected that Hades was Mal's father unless she or Evie told us, which to be fair, Mal doesn't open up about her childhood a lot, so the chances of that ever happening were slim. We're lucky enough she told Evie," Harry sighed, blinking his eyes and shaking his head as if to discard the tears that were "totally not there". He looked back up to Jay,
"All I'm saying is, can Hades be trusted?" No one had an answer for that, except...
"I'm still going to risk it." Everyone faced towards the guy who's voice was husky with silent tears and pieces of a broken soul. He turned to look at the group.
"I would risk anything and everything to get Ml back. If she called for Hades, then she trusts him. Therefore I'm getting him. No matter the risks." Ben had that determined gleam in his eyes that hasn't shown since he and the 3 VKs were turned to stone. The gleam that shows his pain, love, sorrow, and hope for what is to come. He never looked more of a loving boy than he did at that moment. He then, somehow, seemed to make eye contact with each of them.
"I'm getting Hades, no who agrees?" Jay, Carlos, and Girl nodded with no hesitation. Evie, Harry, and Uma all quickly glanced at each other and seemed to agree as they all nodded as one. Ben then nodded back.
"Alright then. Lets' go retrieve the god of the underworld."
So how was that? That was a lot more writing than I expected it to be. I hope y'all all enjoyed it! Please review!
Keep Writing!
