Fuck You/Hate me

OneShot

Being the daughter of Hades was never easy for Hazel as she felt a constant need to prove herself. Beyond the fact that the only reason her name is Hazel is because the Ruler of the Underworld, himself, was so mesmerized by her pristine hazel eyes that he thought it would be the perfect name. It was partially because of that, that she was so determined to prove that she was worthy of being Goddess of the Underworld and that she was nothing like her father. One out of two didn't seem like a bad deal as Hazel would start to realize, at a very young age that she was very much her father's daughter. Not only had she inherited most of his abilities, but she inherited his ruthless temper and a few of his most famous personality traits. Despite being unable to use most of her true abilities, thanks in part to the magical barrier surrounding the Isle, Hazel found other ways to prove her worth. Although, she didn't see herself as evil or a villain. Not to say that she was nice, by any means. But, she liked to see herself as being in the Undecided category, which would leave room to maybe pursue the good act down the road. Gotta keep my options open, as she'd often refer to that particular decision.

At the very young age of eight, Hazel took an interest in sword fighting to fill her time. While most of the other kids were studying and trying to become the spitting images of their parents, Hazel was honing her skill. She was very competitive, but she was also a graceful and calm fighter. Rarely did she let her emotions drive her sword, which easily intimidated a lot of the other kids. Among the Isle inhabitants, most of them feared her for the fact that no one could beat her. Try as they might, she remained undefeated. But, there was one boy who was determined to beat her in combat.

Harry Hook, son of the Captain Hook, took a shine to trying just that. But, his interest in Hazel only came from the goddess' irrational loathing towards him. Since they were mere children, even though she was just a few months older than he was, Hazel was never shy about how she felt towards the hook-handed, pirate boy. To everyone else, she either seemed unpleasant or perpetually irritated. But, to Harry Hook, she was determined to keep the boy as far away from her as possible. Going as far as to hiss in his direction whenever she'd felt his presence near her. Of all the inhabitants, Harry was the only person who seemed to drive the girl to the point of rage that the blue streaks in her hair would ignite at the sight of him.

Though, nobody ever really knew or understood why she had such a reaction to him. As far as the rumors would go, some speculated that he'd pulled a prank on her in school; and Hazel being Hazel, instead of snitching on the boy, she held a grudge over it. Other rumors assumed her hatred of the boy was as irrational as a bull seeing the red of his coat and becoming enraged enough to lock horns. But, among those rumors were the ones that actively lead Hazel in pursuit of her hatred for the pirate. The inhabitants started to assume she was simply jealous of the other Villain Kids as they'd all had something that would undoubtedly link them to their parents.

Mal had her mother's eyes and her spellbook. Evie had her mother's weird obsession with hearts, mirrors and castles. She would argue Evie's obsession with being a princess, but immediately chalked it up to the obsession having more to do with money than the Prince or King that would come with it. Uma had her mother's necklace. Gil had his father's brains and brawn. And Harry. Harry was almost the spitting image of Captain Hook with his red coat, his tricorn hat and the hook he carried around. In truth, it made Hazel laugh at how hard they all tried to be like their parents. She didn't need any of the excesses of her father. She had her own flare with a simple black, leather outfit with knee-high boots to complete her look. Sure, she had the blue, fiery streaks in her hair; that she'd tried a gazillion times to have dyed away. But, thanks to Harry Hook, her rage would burn right through the dye. Every. Single. Time.

But, this didn't matter to Harry as he often found solace in provoking Hazel. Over the years, they'd met each other numerous times in combat, Hazel managed to win each and every one. This lead to part of the reason the inhabitants feared Harry as well, as he was the only one who wasn't afraid to fight her. Despite him constantly losing to her due to his reckless ways. Most of the time, no words were ever needed as they'd clash swords on sight. The two had fought so often that the inhabitants would either clear the area entirely or they'd watch from the shadows. Harry and Hazel's rivalry was notorious throughout the Isle of the Lost as neither of them was afraid to spill blood from the other.
