08- Fun

~~~

Violet

~~~

I awoke, still tangled in Hooks grasp, snuggling in further to his warmth, enjoying how he tightened his grip around me automatically.

Oh no. This shouldn't be happening. I'm supposed to be escaping, not enjoying this.

Hastily I pushed myself off him, falling out of the bed in the process. In response to my sudden fall was a hearty laugh, where I was met with Hook leaning over the bed, enjoying my face planted figure.

"How's the dirt taste down there?" He mused, enjoying my predicament.

"Better then you do," I muttered in response, still waking up. If only I had really known what I had said. Or at least have thought before I said it. Then maybe I wouldn't have been trapped under him a few seconds later as he tried to, as he put it, 'prove me wrong'

And holy shit balls he did.

"Wanna take that back Luv?" He asked, his face awfully close to my own.

"No. No thank you, I'm all good," I replied, smiling weakly as he chuckled.

"Feeling cheeky are we today luv?"

I felt my face heat up, embarrassed at his mere stating the obvious.

Hearing no response he broke the silence, "yer little friends will be here soon, we need to head up to the deck."

I just nodded simply, thankful as he finally pushed himself off of me, pulling me up with him. We crossed a few halls, walking up the stairs before I was met with the bright light of the outside. Ben was tied to a pole?

"Ben?!" I shouted, going to manoeuvre pass Harry, however, that was futile as he quickly caught my waist, pulling me into his chest. "Oh no yer don't luv. Yet staying right over here," he grunted, pulling me away from Ben, and tying me gently to a pole, "yer will be out soon, don't yer worry about a thing," he muttered under his breath, pressing a kiss on my temple.

Mal and the others had finally arrived. Freedom felt as if it were just around the corner.

Huh, let's get this party started
I swear I'm cold-hearted
There's no negotiation
I'm not here for debatin'
You need some motivation?
Just look at Ben's face
Then ask yourself how long you think I'll remain patient
I'll throw him overboard and let him swim with killer sharks
You either hand over the wand or he'll be ripped apart
Now, let's all just be smart
Although for you that must be hard
You'll get your wand
No one has to come to any harm
Don't try to intimidate
Your bark is much worse than your bite
Who's the baddest of them all?
I guess we're finding out tonight
Let's go, bring it on
Better give us what we want
It's the wand for the crown
If you don't, it's going down
Let's go, make your move
Peace or war, it's up to you
Give him up and do it now
If you don't, it's going down
We want the wand
Or else the king is gone
Your time is running out
You should really watch your mouth
Let's go, pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground
Put your swords up, put 'em up
It's going down
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Okay, look, this is not a conversation
It's a do-or-die situation
If you don't give me back the king
I'll have no hesitation
I'll serve you right here
And I don't need a reservation
That way your whole pirate crew can have a demonstration
Release him now, and we can go our separate ways
Unless you wanna deal with me and the VK's
Ha ha, so that's your big speech, huh?
An empty ultimatum?
All it takes is one swing and I'll humiliate him
Matter of fact, make one wrong move and I'll debilitate him
And if he even starts to slip, I'll eliminate him
All it takes is one long look and I'll
Harry, we get it, chill
Let's go, bring it on
Better give us what we want
It's the wand for the crown
If you don't, it's going down
Let's go, make your move
Peace or war, it's up to you
Give him up and do it now
If you don't, it's going down
We want the wand
Or else the king is gone
Your time is running out
You should really watch your mouth
Let's go, pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground
Put your swords up, put 'em up
It's going down
Hey, we don't have to choose
We don't have to light the fuse
Mal, whatever you do, it's gonna be a lose-lose
There's gotta be a better way (way)
Uma, I promise I'll give you your chance
You'll have your say
Silly king, you? Give me?
You're gonna give me a chance?
Well, not a chance
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, make the trade (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, or walk the plank (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Let's go, bring it on
Bring it on, it's going down
Time is running out
Bring it on, it's going down
Let's go, bring it on
Bring it on, it's going down
Time is running out
Bring it on, it's going down
Let's go, pound for pound
We're prepared to stand our ground
Put your swords up, put 'em up
It's going down
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Uma, Uma, Uma, la-la-la)
Uma, Uma, Uma, Uma
What's my name?
What's my name? What's my name?
(Uma, Uma-la-la)
Say it now (Uma)

Did I miss a rehearsal or something?

As Mal was about to give Uma the wand, Uma quickly intervened, "hold up, too easy. Why don't you give it a test drive? We want to see if that thing works!"

"You were always quite the drama queen," Mal replies, a twinge of worry and hesitance crossing her features.

"Awwe, and nothing too big or else Ben is fish food."

"And what of Violet?"

"I think we will keep her for a while," Uma drawled, "I would hate to dispose of Hook's new favourite toy so quickly!"

Mal gulped, finally finding the energy to speak coherently, "although it seems obscured, turn your bark into a word," she chanted.

A silence envelopes us as we watched eagerly, waiting for the dog to say something. Anything!

"Speak boy!"

"Does this best make me look fat? Does anyone have any bacon cookies," the dog ranted, getting slightly lost in the noise as the pirates laughter swallowed his words.

"Give me the wand!"

"Give me Ben and Violet first!"

A silence enveloped them.

"Hook grab Ben!" She shouted

"What about Violet?"

"How about we meet half way and if the wand works then you get Violet," Uma responded, grinning at their distaste of her words.

"But you saw the wand work!" Mal shouted, her voice getting higher than normal.

"Take the deal or leave it," Uma snarled, smiling cheerfully as they nodded their heads, defeated.

Hook dragged Ben to the handoff, both Uma and Mal hesitant to let go, however, eventually released their leverage.

"By the power of the sea tear it down and set us free!" Uma shouted, the hope of freedom basking at her fingertips.

But nothing happened?

Not a thing.

"You don't get to win every time," she bellowed, finally realising that the wand was fake.

Hook immediately moved to untie me as the pirates charged at Mal and the others. A fight broke out, however Hook dragged me below deck, back to his quarters.

"Stay here," he quickly muttered, kissing my temple before leaving and locking the door.

Son of a bitch.

"Hey! No wait!" I screamed, rushing to the door, pushing and pulling, desperate to rejoin Mathew gang and Ben.

My wails and pleas falling upon death ears.
