The Pirate of Spades {a Harry Hook love story} **DISCONTINUED**

Chapter 6

The walk to Spade's house was quiet and awkward. Harry wouldn't tell her what was going on no matter how many times she asked him. Spade was getting scared of what might be happening and the fact that they were outside on the Isle of the lost at night. Harry sensed her distress and pulled her closer to him. As the two came up to the dreaded hedge maze in front of her mother's castle, Harry looked at her expectantly. Spade entered the labyrinth without a moment's delay and worked her way through the maze.

After turning the last left, Spade and Harry saw a big door in the shape of a heart, the entrance to the palace.
"Let's go," Spade said while Harry was still looking around and back at the maze in confusion, before shrugging and following the girl.
"Daddy!" Spade addressed the king of Spades who sat gracefully on his throne. The one next to his was empty but Spade didn't give it much thought as she gave her father a hug.
"Spade! How long have you been back?" Her father asked with a slight smile.
"Not long." She answered vaguely, not wanting him to know she'd been staying at a boy's house, even if it was Harry's.
"Well its good to see you." He said and Spade smiled.
"So where's mom?" She asked and the King's smile dropped. Harry excused himself and excited the throne room to wait in the hall outside the door.
"Dad? what's going on?" Spade asked and her father sighed.
"The people, they the rioted. There was nothing I could do. You have to understand that Spade." He said frantically as Spade backed away from him. "What?" She asked cautiously. He sighed in defeat.
"You're mother is dead."

A/n I know it's super short, but I really like how that chapter ended. I love cliff hangers and that's kinda a cliff hanger I think.
