Uma's Pov
We tied the king to the mast. I was waiting for any news from my wolf. I watched beastie boy look around the ship. He wasn't afraid, or if he was he didn't show it. Harry's running broke my thoughts.
"What is happening?" I asked. "Is Brae okay?" I asked worriedly.
"No she is fine, but Mal is backstabbing us."
"Figures goody-two-shoes." I scoffed. "So what is the plan?"
"They sent the boys to auradon to get a fake wand and the girls are getting smoke bombs for a diversion." he told me.
"So I guess I'm bargaining for our freedom?" I stated but it sounded like a question.
"Yes, captain." he nodded.
"Okay go back and watch the traitors and look out for Wolfie."
"Of course Umie" he bowed and then left.
I looked back at the king. I breathed in deeply. I walked in front of the king his eyes watched me sit down.
"You better hope your girlfriend comes through." I told the king.
"Well, she's not my girlfriend anymore." he looked down sadly. That surprised me. "I get that
you don't deserve this." he told me.
"This?" I looked at him glaring "This island is a prison, thanks to your father. And don't pretend to look out for me. Because no one's looking out for me. It's just me." I half lied.
"So this isn't your mom's plan? Isn't that her necklace?" he pointed to my necklace with his head.
"My mom doesn't care about me, either. Well, not unless she needs someone for the night shift." I told him honestly.
Maybe in another life, we could have been friends he tells it how it is.
"Ouch." he looked surprised.
"I don't need your pity." I growled.
"No, you certainly don't. You're very resourceful. I don't see you tied up." he looked at the ropes around him.
"So let's trash talk Mal." I changed the subject.
"I'd rather talk about you." he said looking back at me.
"Funny and a gentleman. I really hope I don't have to feed you to the fishes." I told him standing up.
"Well, you don't. Set me free, and we'll go back together." he said smiling.
"Oh, so now I get an invite?" I raised my eyebrows. "Gee, I wonder why. When you brought Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay to Auradon, that's as mad as I've ever been in my life. And trust me, I've been plenty mad." I told him turning around.
"I never thought of it like that before. That I could've hurt the people I didn't pick. My plan was to start with four kids and bring more people over. I guess I was busy being king. That sounds lame. I'm so sorry. You're a leader, Uma. So am I. Come to Auradon and be part of the solution." he said hopeful and a little bit sad at the truth of how he hurt a lot of us, me, Brae, and every kid on the isle.
"Fine but I have a few conditions." I told him turning to face him again.
"Okay anything you name it." he smiled happily.
"You bring Gil, and Harry with me for right now and when enough time has passed you bring the rest of my crew to auradon and every kid that is abused by their parents which is all the kids from 19-year-olds to babies."
"Okay it's a deal." he said.
"Is it okay if I keep you tied up until Mal gets here then I'll let you go, I want to see if she does what I asked her to do."
"Yeah sure." he shrugged.
Brae's Pov:
It's a little bit before noon and the boys just pulled up. They came out with a girl.
"I'll get the swords." Jay said to the girl.
The girl came over to me and the girls.
"Oh, Lonnie." Evie said happily.
"I made them bring me." the girl Lonnie told us.
"Oh, I'm so glad." Mal said as she and Evie hugged Lonnie.
"Who's this?" she pointed at me.
"My girlfriend." Jay said kissing me on my mouth.
"Brae, this is Lonnie, daughter of Mulan, Lonnie this is Braelynn daughter of the big bad wolf." Mal introduced us.
"What are the swords for?" I asked looking at the satchel of sword on Jay's shoulder.
"Just in case things take a turn for the worse." Jay said.
"Mal do you think I can talk to you for a second?" I looked at the fairy.
"Yeah, you guys go ahead."
The others left and it was just the two of us.
"Do you think Ben will bring me to Auradon as a thank you for helping to rescue him?" I asked.
"Yeah he might." she told me. "Now let's go."
We headed through the tunnel and meet up with the rest. We arrived at the Lost Revenge a few moments later. Gil saw us and alerted the crew. Harry had Ben on the plank. Mal and Uma rap battled until they started to trade then I saw a wicked gleam in Uma's eye, it was a trick and Mal fell for it. Ben was in front of Uma and my brother, Mal had the fake wand in her hand outstretched to Uma.
"Wait," Uma said holding out a hand. "Too easy." she smiled wickedly as Mal looked nervous. "I change my mind."
"What?" Mal demanded.
"Oh yeah well, I made a deal with Ben." she smiled. "Stand up Ben." Ben stood up without the ropes. "I know the wand is fake. And about the smoke bombs." she smirked. " I had Harry and Gil follow you and listen to you." she said not telling them about me being the spy.
"And what is this deal?" Mal asked.
"For right now Uma, Harry, and Gil will be coming to Auradon and when enough time has passed the rest of her crew and kids ages 19 to first born will be taken to auradon." Ben to us.
"You are free to go." Uma said.
We left and exited the tunnel.
"Ben?" I said he looked at me. "You don't know me but I want to ask you something."
"Sure go ahead." he nodded to me.
"I'm Brae a friend of the four and as I helped save you even though you were set free I was wondering if I could come to Auradon the same time you bring Uma, Harry, and Gil?" I asked.
"Yeah, I can make that happen." he smiled.
"Thank you, King Ben."
I waited until they left before I went to my love, my brother, and my best friend.
"I'm coming to Auradon with you," I told them before I grabbed Uma's hand and took her to our shared room.
No one's Pov:
Cotillion was an interesting dance, there was no fight between a dragon and a giant octopus with a human body. Mal told Ben that she was in love with somebody else but didn't say who. She never became a lady of the court. Evie asked Ben if Dizzy could also come when Uma, Harry, Gil, and Brae come to Auradon.
The night after cotillion Ben wrote the order of them leaving the isle and sent so the five of them should be in Auradon in about two days.
