Harry was keeping his distance from Uma, and that hurt. They were always together; they were trapped on an island there were only a handful of days they didn't see each other. But she did tell him this was going to happen, and it was his fault. At this point he just wanted his best friend back, forget the rest of it. He just wanted Uma.
But life was never easy for VK's. he had one good thing and he had to go screw it up. So now he had to deal with the aftereffects.
On the isle having siblings and a good family was a big deal. No one really had that. No, he didn't have a good father, but his father's first mate, Smee had always been good to him and his sisters. He had practically raised them. His father never liked children. He tried to be an okay parent sometimes. But not as much as they got older.
So, when Smee asked him and his sisters to come to the Jolly Rodger, he wanted to go but he also felt like it was a trap. Harry knew at some point his father would hear about him and Uma. He felt like his father was making Smee call him to the ship because he knew he felt more comfortable with him. Calling his sisters there as well just seemed like a way to seem less suspicious, like it would make him more inclined to go. But then again maybe Smee wanted to talk to him before his father did. Or maybe he was just overthinking, and Mr. Smee just needed him and his sisters for something. But whatever it was Harry felt obligated to go. So, he did.
When he arrived he could see his younger sister on the deck, but it seemed like no one else was there yet. He walked onto the deck but not next to her. Then shortly after Harriet came to the ship. They sat silently for a little while waiting for Smee.
"Uh, so what's up with you guys lately" CJ said breaking the silence
Neither of the older siblings answered
"Hello? Are either of you going to speak" CJ asked
Harriet just sighed and Harry didn't look at her.
"I'm confused, did I do something" she asked
"Oh that's an interesting question eh, did you do something!? Hmm let's back track shall we? Should we start with the part where you RUINED MY LIFE! Maybe just maybe that's what you did. Or maybe we could talk about the part where all the people on the isle see me as a target. Oh and the icing on the cake, YOU'RE THE REASON I LOST MY BEST FRIEND!" Harry screamed, anger flowing through him.
"Okay, Harry calm down a little. But Calista he is right, this is your fault and letting out a secret he trusted you with is far from okay. You betrayed his and my trust." Harriet said
"Look I didn't know people would be listening to me and overhear me talking about it. It's not my fault." CJ said defensively
"It's never your fault is it! Maybe you shouldn't have been talking about it in the first place!" Harry shouted
"Children! Please calm down" they heard Smee say.
They all turned to look at him. Right beside him was their father. He didn't look too good.
"I'm sure you can guess why we're here" Smee said
"Umm, no" CJ said
Harriet slightly smacked her on the side.
"Well there's been whispers about one of the members of this family and we need to settle this. So children please sit down." Smee responded
The ship had wooden bench like planks that the three Hook children sat on. Meanwhile Captain Hook was staring daggers at Harry.
"So Harry would you like to explain yourself" Smee said
"No need, I'll tell you what happened! Harry got caught in the trap of a siren. My own son being drawn in as fish bait to a woman of the sea! What a disgrace. I have a reputation as the fiercest pirate, nothing and no one can tame me! And you are trying to ruin me, I don't want my name associated with you. Sailors who follow the sirens songs are weak, that's you now." Captain Hook shouted at his son
Harry just glared at his father, over time he had stopped to care what his father thought of him. Next to him Harriet tensed and straightened out. Harry didn't need protection but that's just what she did.
"First of all Uma's not a siren" Harry said.
"No, she's a witch!" Captain Hook said
"Alright sir, please keep your voice down. Shouting isn't going to get us anywhere" Smee said
"So if this is about Harry why'd we have to come?" CJ asked
"Well Calista Jane, I hear that this is partly your fault too. As for Harriet I brought her here because she may be able to help and she's more stable than you two. If either of you start acting up, she would know what to do" Smee said
"How is it my fault that Harry decided to go fall in love" CJ said
"I agree with Calista Jane, none of this is her fault it's completely Harrisons fault for following that witch Uma, like a lost boy!" Hook said
"No! I will not sit here and let you talk stuff about me. As for Uma keep her name out of your mouth father! I will deal with my own problems." Harry said sharply getting up
"All of you stop! Calista you need to stop playing the victim and acting like a saint! This is your fault almost entirely, and dad Harry is almost an adult he can make his own choices you stopped caring after mom died. Harry, I know you're mad and you don't want us to get involved but I am going to no matter what you say. The corruption that is going to come from this could be as much as death. Harriet said also standing up to stop Harry
"You hear that son you could die for this and for what? That vixen." Hook said approaching Harry
Harry's eyes flashed red. Something that all the Hook children inherited form their father. No one new why it happened. Although all Hooks children had this, or at least they thought they did it never happened to CJ and Harriet only had it for a slight second. For it to even trigger in them they had to be beyond borderline angry or upset with someone or something. When it happened, it was like your anger took over you and you could no longer control your body or mind.
Harry just stared at his father eyes growing crimson. This scared the rest of the people that were there.
"Woah, Harry, cool it" Harriet said panicked holding Harry still
"Somebody do something! Dad, Smee, Hattie, make him stop" CJ said fearfully
Harry advanced on his father. "What did I just say about talking about her" Harry said through gritted teeth
"Please calm down sir" Smee said
He didn't stop. The anger had already taken over him.
"Uma" Harriet whispered to herself "CJ go get Uma!" Harriet shouted to her sister.
CJ didn't think twice. She just took off running to the Chip Shoppe.
