Mal stumbles back, blood dripping from her nose, and I take a step forward as the rage rolls off of me in dangerous waves. Everyone is too stunned to speak or move, not sure what to do. Harry, however, cackles maddeningly on the plank, almost dropping my brother into the shark infested waters below.

"Liar!" I shout in anger, and Mal's gang snap out of their shock before stumbling down to Mal, who is covering her blood covered nose with her hand. "You do not get to win this time! How could you forget Mal?! I was there when that gummy made Dude be able to talk! Did you really think you could fool me with that?"

"Rose-"

"One word, Jay, and it will be you swimming with the sharks." I snap at him, not even gracing him with a glare as I stare down at Mal. "I do not care what you do to me. Forget me. Hurt me. Freeze me out. I do not care. But them?" I point at Uma and the crew behind me as I take another slow step forward, Mal and her group taking a step back. "Don't you get their hopes up, only to crush them. They want off this Isle. Let them off!"

"We can't! You know that!" Mal screams and I slam my fist down on the railing of the walkway, taking another step forward. They take another step back, flinching as my anger starts to blind my vision.

"Are you really that cruel?! You're just like my parents! Like everyone else in Auradon! I thought I could count on my brother to finish what he started, but that was a waste of time. So, I figured you, of all people, would help me! You lived here Mal! Are you really going to let them suffer while you get it all? Are you really that selfish?!"

Mal shakes her head as she stares at me with wide, tear-filled eyes. Evie handing her a piece of fabric to wipe her face with. Ben calls my name to try to calm me down, but I ignore him since I'm just as angry with him as I am with Mal and her group. He's just going to waste my time like before, anyway. Nothing ever actually changes around here.

"I can't let them out, Rose. They'll destroy our home, and you know it." I stumble back and laugh with no humor in it. And here I had thought she had chosen good, but what about Dizzy? I thought they wanted to give kids like her a chance, but I guess not anymore.

I mean, she's really going to make these people suffer when she knows exactly what they go through. She lived here a little over half a year ago, but she seems to forget how living here is like. Why would she abandon these people when she gets to have the life that they all deserve, too? Why would she want to be the villain that everyone in the kingdom still believes her to be?

"Wow. Who would've thought." I look at her, the emotion draining from my face and giving nothing away as I stumble back a step. "Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. You really are like your mother."

Mal flinches like I stabbed her, and the look of devastation on her face shows that I hit a nerve. Good. She deserves it by this point, but I don't even have the energy to care, anymore. I shake my head and turn to walk back up the walkway.

"Well, at least I'm someone powerful. You're just the wannabe villain princess who won't accept her place in the kingdom." Mal snaps, and everyone freezes, including the people in her own group.

"At least I'm happy, Mal. Unlike you. You're just turning into a bitter old lizard." I tell her without looking at her. I hear Mal scream, and the next thing I know, I'm tackled onto the walkway. Chaos breaks out as Mal's gang and the crew start to fight each other.

Mal elbows me on the side of the head, and I elbow her in the throat, knocking her off of me. I get on her and punch her, making her nose bleed again. She manages to get her leg between us and kicks me back, throwing me onto the docks. The two groups fight, swords clashing left and right, the clanging ringing out all around me.

Evie throws a smoke bomb, and a large blue cloud covers me and Mal. I scream in anger, and pull my sword out, swinging at Mal. She dodges and talks off running. I race after her, Uma not far behind me. I let Uma have her since she deserves this more than I do and look for my pirate. I see Harry fighting Jay, and dodge through all the fighting to get to them.

Jay realizes that no one can get the upper hand on Harry, so he aims for the hook on his hand. Only thing Harry really cares about other than me. By the time I make it over to them, Jay has managed to get Harry's hook and is dangling it over the water. Harry falters and looks between the hook and Jay, pleading him with his eyes.

"Jay, I swear..." I say and Jay looks at me. He smiles apologetically, then drops the hook into the water. Harry drops his sword and dives after it. "Harry!" I run over to make sure he's ok when I feel arms come around my waist. I throw my arm back and hit Jay in the face, but he doesn't let go. He picks me up off the ground and manages to get my sword out of my hand.

"Uma!!" I scream, and my sister turns to look at me. She starts to run over, but Mal stops her causing them to start fighting again. I twist and swing my body around, trying to get free. Jay holds strong and doesn't let go. Uma twists away from Mal and comes for me again, stopping to pull Harry out of the water along the way.

"Go!" Mal screams to everyone, and Evie runs through the tunnel. She's followed by Lonnie and Dude, then Carlos. Ben runs through, and Jay starts dragging me to the tunnel. My heart stops when I realize that they're taking me back to Auradon, and I start to fight even harder. I don't want to go back. I can't go back because that isn't home to me. Home isn't a place for me, but instead, it's a person.

"NO! Let go! Stop!" I shout, hoping that Jay might still have a heart somewhere deep inside him. "Jay! Please, I'm begging you! Stop!" I scream and sob as I try to hit him, and I swing my legs around trying to twist out of his grip. I realize that I'm too small and I can't get free. "HARRY!!" I scream at the top of my lungs, getting the boys attention. The look of utter insanity and rage that comes across Harry's face has Jay running faster.

"LET HER GO!!" Harry shouts, and the crew do everything they can to try and slow Jay down for Harry, hoping to gain favor and avoid the boy's wrath. I scream and reach out for him, trying to get free still. I even tried to bite Jay, but he twisted and dodged that. I tried kicking his legs, hitting him in the face or neck, and I even threw my head back. Jay manages to dodge every hit.

"HARRY!" I cry out as Jay drags me down the tunnel. "NO! JAY, PLEASE! I'LL DO ANYTHING! JAY, STOP!! HARRY!!!!" My entire world is being ripped away from me, and all I want to do is shatter into a million pieces. Why would they do this?! Mal knows that I'm happy on the Isle!

Jay drags me to the back of the limo and throws me inside. Carlos and Evie grab my arms, and I start kicking with everything I have. Begging is getting me nowhere, so I'm resorting to violence. I kick the window, cracking it as I try to break it so I can get out that way. Lonnie grabs my left leg, and Evie pulls out the perfume bottle she had used on Chad all those months ago. I glare at her.

"Evie, don't you fucking dare. I swear-" One spray and I'm out, darkness taking over my senses.

3rd POV

The group stares down at the girl who was fighting so desperately to get back. Carlos is absolutely terrified for when she wakes up, and Evie is shattered. Neither of them even knew Jay's plan to bring her back, or they would've tried to stop him. It's not that they didn't want her around because they did. They missed her a lot. It's because that while walking up to the ship, they seen the look of pure happiness on her face when she was in Harry's arms. They didn't want to shatter the girl's happiness, and they didn't want to hurt her any more than they already had.

They can still hear Harry shouting and cursing everyone on the docks. That didn't make the two feel any better. They may not have agreed with the pairing at first, but it's clear to anyone that the two love each other and will do anything for one another. Evie truly believes that Harry is Rose's True Love, and the fact that Mal and Jay split them apart disappoints her. They weren't supposed to be as cruel as their parents.

Plus, there are rumors that if one is away from the other, violence starts ensuing as they fight to get back to each other again. If there's a possibility that that is true, then they have an even bigger problem on their hands. Rose had been a wildcard and dangerous to begin with, but rip the one person she loves most away from her? She's not going to just be a danger anymore. She'll want to destroy everything, and she'd be the one person to get it done.
