Truth Or Fiction

Chapter One Hundred and Eleven

Aziz sighed softly as he took a scroll. He just hoped he didn't get a scroll with Freddy in it.

Harry and Jay walked up the gangplank of the Lost Revenge, Harry feeling as if concrete had been poured into his shoes.

"Gods, that seems a bit dramatic," Audrey said, rolling her eyes.

"Can you go back to not talking?" Audie asked.

Gods, he was just going to talk to his little sister. Why did he feel like he was walking to the gallows?

"Maybe because this is the first time you're actually going to truly talk to her?" Jay said softly.

Oh yeah. Because he had made his sister feel like he hated her. Because he had hated her.

CJ fought to hold back a flinch at the reminder of the fact that her brother hated her.

No! Don't think about that, he told himself, gently shaking his head. You think about that and you're going to turn right back around to join Uma and Mal over at Lord Hades.

"I mean, going to Lord Hades' is a wonderful experience so I can understand wanting to change your mind," Jay said.

"You know, it's like every time we see you, you're taking more of our crew," Henry chuckled as he walked up to them as Jay and Harry made their way to the deck.

"Isn't that a good thing though?" Rose asked. "It means they're getting to go to Auradon."

"They're our crew too," Jay said, shaking his head as he went over to pat Henry on the shoulder.

"That they are," Henry nodded as Jade walked up to them.

"And they always will be, even when most of them get over to Auradon," Malinda said with a small smile.

"Hey Harry, hey cuz," she said with a grin upon seeing the two boys.

"Hey Jade," Jay grinned back. "Wrestle any more crocs?"

"Crocs...as in crocodiles?" Milah asked, her eyes growing wide.

"I mean yes but now you've gotten the image of Jade wrestling one of those ridiculous rubber clog things that Chip tried to convince Adam to wear in an attempt to wear the latest fashions in my head," Malinda shook her head.

Chip grinned as Beast shook his head.

"Do I want to know what color they were?" Abby asked.

"No, no you don't," Benji shook his head.

"Oh come on, they couldn't be worse than the eyesore!" Chip exclaimed.

Audie shook her head. "Chip, you wanted to wear a purple, gold, and white stripped tie for your wedding. You don't get to criticize the eyesore anymore."

Jade rolled her eyes. "You do that one time and they never let you forget it."

"Why would you want to do it more than once?" Rowyn asked.

"Because it was a six foot crocodile and you almost drowned," Jay told her.

"Details, details," Jade chuckled and waved her hand as if she was waving away Jay's words.

"That doesn't exactly seem like something you should wave off!" Tiana exclaimed, causing more than one person to jump.

Hades shook his head. "Okay, everyone needs to speak at least once because otherwise, we're going to forget you're here and when you do speak, we'll get that same reaction."
