Uriah whistled lowly as the four crawled into the back of the limb that had been sitting outside their 'hide out' when they'd woken up.
They'd were pretty surprised when the driver had come out and actually helped the four put their trunk in the back seat. Because each of them didn't own much, other than two extra sets of clothes and a few personal items. They'd all decided to pack everything together in one trunk to save the hassle of keeping trace of four separate bags.
"Everything looks very sweet and tempting." Esmer said as she gave a hunger looked at the jars of candy that had been provided in the back. "But nothing worth your eternal soul."
"If it looks good why don't you eat some?" Carmine muttered grabbing a big hand full of multi colored jelly beans. "Your getting way to skinny again."
"You know I can't. I'm only aloud to eat one meal of bread and water every morning." Esmer reminded as she folded her arms around her dangerously small stomach.
Helena and Uriah both frowned deeply, Frollo had told Esmer that rule when she was only six. The man decided he needed more food, so decided to trick Esmer from eating almost all of her rations by using her fear of Hell.
None of the friends liked Esmer practically starving herself, but could never convince her other wise. So to help they usually gave their rations of bread to her spiked full with fruits and vegetables.
"We won't tell." Uriah mumbled softly. "It's okay."
"You don't have to tell. He sees all and will not take mercy on me if I lesson to you playing devil's advocate." The girl looked wearily at the ceiling of the car like it might catch on fire in any moment.
"Stubborn little ass." Helena mumbled as she bit into a piece of liquorice, she liked to imagine the things she'd do to Frollo is she ever had the chance. The Pirate in training hates being manipulated and hates manipulating her friends most of all. "One day you'll have to eat."
"Leave her alone Helena, we all make our own choices. If you badger her about it anymore it's off with your head Besides don't take it out on us that you're facing Carlos withdraw!"
"Damned you."
"Stop fucking say that word."
"Guys! We're about to drive off the bridge!" Uriah yelled, causing the other three to turn quickly to look out a window because Uriah almost never lies about something serious. Well actually he did play a lot of practical jokes, but this didn't seem like a joke.
To all fours dismay it was true. The limbo was heading straight for the end of the demolished bridge that was connected to the Isle. Fear ran through each other them like the blood in their veins. Moments of their short lives flashing through in their eyes.
"Esmer?" Helena asked softly.
"Lord please take pity on us when we enter your kingdom as your loyal subjects. Look past our flaws and see the love we have for you. Our lives are over in this world but please let us live in your kingdom for eternity-" Esmer started praying as they clung onto each other in fear. "WE'RE ALL GOING TO GO TO HELL."
Helena couldn't breath as the four of them held each other close. Even Uriah who usually didn't enjoy physical contact was holding on to Esmer like this was the last time he'd ever have a chance to. Which it probably was!
"Hey!" The man driving the car yelled. "When the four of you are done with your yelling, maybe you'd like to look out the window to see the beautiful view of Auradon."
Carmine was the first to go look out the window and frown. "Who's sick kind of joke is that."
"Well it was sick, twisted, and cruel. I'm going to go ahead an put my money on Mal." Esmer muttered.
"So who here actually bothered telling their parents they were leaving?" Uriah asked slowly, trying to take all of their minds off of the near death experience...well what seemed like a near death experience.
"Are we all alive." Carmine asked
"Ya." Uriah said
"Then none of us told them."
