Cold Hearted

The Deal (Part Two)

Elena POV

Harry led me through the dense group of pirates and through the kitchen in the back of the restaurant, all while I heard Mal shouting,

"You better not lay a finger on her Hook! Or else I'll have your head!"

Harry turned his head back towards the dining room of the restaurant and smirked a little, he didn't stop walking while he shouted back,

"Technically I already have!"

I mean... that is true. He has his arm around my shoulders, so he has technically laid a finger on me, but it isn't with cruel intent so I wasn't bothered. He led us through the kitchen to the back door which he casually kicked open, it flew open and banged the outside wall from the force as Harry led me through. I looked up at him as I spoke,

"May I ask where you're taking me?"

He looked down and simply kept walking before looking forward again,

"Somewhere more private, ye'll see"

I simply nodded and looked forward again and watched as the scenery changed, the sounds of yelling and chatter from the restaurant faded away into distant white noise. Soon the ocean came into view, and as we rounded the corner I felt myself light up in excitement. There right in front of me was a rather impressive ship, she looked a little rough, but seeing as Arendelle is a port town/kingdom I've seen worse. Oh, I love watching all the kinds of ships that come into Arendelle, not to mention, I've never seen a pirate ship! Well, now that I think about it, I have seen this ship before! I've seen it from the outside in, now I can see it from the inside for the first time! My eyes were excitedly darting around the ship now that I can see it in greater detail, no pirates could be seen,

"Woah... I've never seen a ship like this before"

I muttered. He chuckled and sighed as he looked out at the ship with me,

"Yeh? Well she's not set ta sail, so she's purely for storage and living space unfortunately, not that we can set sail anyway with the barrier and such"

I pressed my lips together for only a moment before a smile came back onto my lips. I looked up to continue to visually explore the ship,

"That's a bummer, but this is awesome regardless. I've seen plenty of ships in my time, but I've never seen a real pirate ship!"

Harry led us onto a bridge that connected the dock and the ship itself. He led me onto the ship which only excited me more,

"Seen plenty of ships eh? Tell me doe eyes, what sort of ships have ya seen?"

I continuously seem to not understand a bit of Mal's concern about Harry, I mean he's actually interested in what I talk about, he's nice to me, I don't see an issue with him to be honest. I smiled extra big and slipped out from Harry's arm to walk over to the ship's railing to look out at the distant view of Auradon,

"I live in a port kingdom, I've seen ships from every part of the world come through. My kingdom is frozen in time, everything is simple and peaceful all the time, Auradon has been a big change for me"

I casually spoke as Harry came to my side and leaned on the railing beside me. He hummed and looked over to me as I kept looking out over the water,

"A big change? Ye say that like yer new there"

I looked over at him and casually nodded,

"I am, I only moved to Auradon two weeks ago. I've never even left my home kingdom before that so this is all quite new to me"
