Hey guys, thank you for being patient with me as I know I have made you wait a while for these chapters. If I am being completely honest with you all I nearly gave up on my writing all together due to some circumstances that arisen over the last eight weeks. However I managed to get out of that rut with a new outlook which has lit a flame under my ass which is pushing me forward on my writing. I hope you like where I have gone with this story as it is different to anything that I have done on my page so far. Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
*Mal's POV*
As I felt my eyes start to roll I groaned; I felt a sharp pain to the right hand side of my head and I took a couple of deep breaths to steady the dizziness and the feeling of nausea. I started to question what was happening and then the thought quickly came to me. After Brad had hit Harry on the head making him go unconscious me and him then fought and unfortunately he managed to knock me unconscious as well. I remember feeling so helpless as he stood above me and grinned at me as I fell into darkness which petrified me.
I tried to move however something was pulled tightly against me so I slowly opened my eyes and looked down and started to fill with panic as I was tied to a mast on a ship. And unfortunately for me it wasn't just any ship - it was Uma's.
I quickly looked up and blinked a few times to get my eyes to focus better and I gasped in panic. Last time I saw Uma's ship it was in the port; now it was surrounded mist and a thick fog that you could barely see though. It looked familiar to me; but I didn't know where I was; and if I didn't know where I was how was Ben going to find me. My mind then went onto my perfect Beast and I supressed a sob. I might never get to see Ben again and this was killing me. But there was one thing I was confident of; if I was going to die or endure any torture at the hands of Brad and Uma Ben was never going to leave my mind. He would get me though the despair and the last words that would leave my mouth would be saying that I loved him one more last time. Of course it might not come to this; but I knew the fact that I was now captured my death was a possibly.
"Oh look" I heard a smug dark voice say which made me freeze and the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.
"She's waking up" they quickly said and I heard footsteps start to make their way towards me.
"Hey Mal" they finished as they stood in front of me with a large grin on their face.
"Hi Uma" I replied.
"Long time no see" I said bitterly which made Uma laugh.
"I know" she chuckled as she tilted her head to the side and looked at me.
"Which is a shame quite frankly" she added as she stepped closer to me.
"I used to love beating you to a pulp" she commented.
"Likewise" I agreed as we both started to glare at each other. I really couldn't believe that of all people on the Isle Brad had to get together with Uma; but saying that it looks like they have bonded over one main thing - their hatred for me.
"I believe the last time I saw you you were screaming to be let out of your mother's basement" I remarked darkly as I reminded her of the last scheme I ever did on the Isle before I left for Auradon.
"Yes" she confirmed.
"And if you remember-" she started as she shoved my right shoulder with her left hand harshly.
"I told you that I would get you back" she reminded me smugly.
"And I did" she added as she danced in front of me.
"With some help from a very good friend of mine" she finished with a sly grin and I heard another dark laugh which made my stomach churn.
"Hey sweet cheeks" Brad flirted as he stepped around the mast and he wrapped his left arm around Uma's waist.
"Hello" Uma sang and I watched as Brad and Uma shared a loving look. I pulled one brow up in confusion; I really didn't know what to make of their relationship. I didn't know whether it was real or whether one of them was using the other. Or were they using each other? I never knew with either of them and if I was being honest with myself I didn't really want to know.
"Did I hear that our little guest of honour is awake?" Brad asked happily.
"Yes she is" Uma confirmed and I watched as they both looked at me with devilish grins on their faces.
"I told you you could rely on me" Brad grinned as Uma looked up at him and grinned at him.
"Yes you did" she purred.
"I'll have to thank you later if you are good" she flirted and I watched as Brad winked at Uma. I then heard a very uncharacteristic giggle escape from Uma's lips which made my eyes widen in shock.
"Do you two mind? I really don't want to bring up my breakfast" I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes at them both.
"Oi!" Brad snarled as he banged his right hand onto the mast next to my head which made my eyes widen in shock again.
"Don't speak to her like that; she's going to be Queen" he advised smugly as he looked back down at Uma.
"Really?" I asked incredulously.
"Queen of what? Most ridiculous decisions because let's face it she is already that!" I spat.
"Shut it!" Uma roared.
"What you are?" I countered.
"Uma there is a reason I dropped him like an old hat" I stated bluntly.
"He will do to you what he did to me" I advised hoping that even though she hated me she could see some of my resolve. I watched as she threw both me and Brad a look before she shook her head.
"Shut up!" she roared again.
"I don't want to think of you two together!" she spat.
"Don't baby" Brad cooed as he reached up and he stroked her left cheek with his right thumb.
"It meant nothing to me" she muttered.
"You've changed your tune!" I spat.
"Before you were sent here-" I started as I attempted to struggle with the ropes that were currently binding me.
"You were saying you wanted to get your creepy hands back on me" I reminded him bitterly as I continued to struggle.
"Well that was before I met Uma" he shrugged.
"Mal my sweet" he flirted which stopped me struggling and I looked at him as I didn't like the tone of voice that he had just used. He then winked at me before he pushed his face close to mine and I had to resist the urge to shudder.
"I only brought you here because I want to teach you and that pathetic king of ours a lesson" Brad muttered.
"You don't mess with me and the VK's!" he spat which made me glare at him.
"Yes there was a point where I thought you playing hard to get gave me a thrill" he advised.
"But not now!" he finished as he pulled his face back away from mine.
"Well answer me this!" I snapped.
"What was the whole I'll marry you so Ben can't?" I asked sarcastically.
"What?" I heard Uma mutter and when I looked over to her I could see that she was hurt by this information.
"Oh" I said as my eyes widened in realisation that Brad was also trying to screw over Uma.
"You missed that bit out to Uma" I said as I started to struggle against the ropes again.
"Typical" I growled.
"It was only part of the plan my sweet" Brad dismissed as he stroked Uma's face with his right thumb again.
"You know you are the only one for me" he promised and I rolled my eyes again. The pair of them were welcome to each other; they were both deluded and thought that this plan of theirs was going to go smoothly. Well when Ben found out I was here or if any harm comes to me he will make them all pay!
"Yeah" Uma replied which broke me unwillingly from my thoughts about Ben.
"We will break down the barrier and rule Auradon together" Uma said and I couldn't help but laugh.
"And what is so funny about that?" Brad snapped as he pulled one brow up in confusion at me.
"You are both deluded!" I snapped.
"You both are never getting off this Isle regardless whether I leave here alive or not" I advised them.
"Never!" I spat gleefully at them. I watched as both Brad and Uma threw a dark look at each other before Brad pushed his face close to mine once more.
"We will see about that shall we?" he teased sarcastically. I then went to laugh at him again however what stopped me was when he quickly head butted me; I felt a sudden pain on the bridge of my nose and a crunch which told me that he had just broke my nose.
"URGH!" I shouted out in pain as I let my head drop down as Brad pulled away from me.
"I don't know about you Uma" he started.
"But I think we should start the festivities a little bit earlier than planned" he advised and I looked up at them threw tear filled eyes.
"I think so too" Uma said happily as she threw a pitiful look at me.
"Come on crew!" Brad roared as he dropped his arm from Uma's waist and he started to dance around. I then felt dread start to fill in the pit of my stomach; this was it! The start of whatever sick plan Brad and Uma have planned for me. I knew that both of them were going to be ruthless; what they have both done to me in the past had already proved this. All I could hope for is that Ben found me in time.
"Your new punching bag is here!" he declared and I gulped. The whole ship went quiet for a few seconds before I heard footsteps getting closer to me with various voices laughing menacingly at me. I quickly looked at them before I looked down to the ground; Ben please hurry up. Please save me!
