The next day at 2:00pm I stood at the dock and looked out at sea. I debated whether to swim or whether to stay on land and that was something I had never done before. I never wanted to stay on land, I preferred spending my time in the ocean, but with yesterday's events I felt apprehensive.

Before I could talk myself out of it, I quickly dive into the water bellow. I find that that is the best way- no point in stepping in as I would just end up flopping in when my tail appears.

As I break through the surface of the water, I brush my hair out of my face and have a hard look at the isle of the lost. As much as I was nervous about going there again, I knew I had to in order to find Ben a gift.

Taking a deep breath I begin my swim over.

———————————

I break through the water as I enter the isle.

I scan the dock with my eyes just above the water and to my misfortune the pirate from yesterday is still patrolling.

He walks up and down the length of the bridge as he scans the ships parked up.

I cautiously swim over to my usual spot, around the corner from where he is pacing, and I look around before pulling myself out of the water.

I sit with my tail hanging off the dock until I decide that the coast is clear and I quickly pull myself up.

"You!"

I hear a familiar voice shout.

"Me" I confirm as I turn to face him "missed me, did you?"

He scoffs as he crosses his arms

"Absolutely not" he says "you didn't think that you could walk the dock and I wouldn't see you, did ya?"

I scoff as I walk past him, but he keeps following me

"I was hoping that you would see me" I say as I keep my back to him, walking infront

"Ay?" He says and I can practically hear the smirk "and why would that be lass?"

I turn at that and end up face to face with him

"Get your head out the gutter, I need you to help me find treasure. I assume you're the type of person to be good at that?" I say as I look him up and down

"Aye, I'm the man for that, but I don't do things for nothing. You'll have to give me something in return... say it is as a thank you present to Uma for letting you take me off the job"

I scoff before I slowly nod. I don't really have a choice- if I want to find Ben a trinket and get out of the isle fast, I will need help.

"Fine, lead the way" I say

He smiles as he walks ahead

We enter into the main streets of the isle and the scene becomes completely different to what the docks are like.

I've been here once or twice before but it still causes me to flinch at the sheer change between the quiet docks to the loud shouting in the town.

The streets are lined with market stalls as an array of people try to sell whatever they can to get money to live.

If that wasn't enough of a sign, the people sitting on the floor and the children trying to steal shows you how much the isle is worse off then Auradon.

I watch as Harry picks up a few shiny pieces of jewellery from an old woman's stall as we walk past. He quickly places them in his pocket.

"You ever get to keep what you steal?" I dare to ask "or does all of it go to this Uma?"
