Set Me Free, Leave Me Be

Set Me Free, Leave Me Be

Chapter 45

Tamatoa's POV? 

 I'm just watching Moana like I have been when all of the sudden Scar storms into the basement and glares hard at Moana. Despite her being the hostage and somewhat the enemy, I find myself wanting to protect her from his wrath. "Scar, calm down. What's gotten into you?" His glare shifts from Moana onto me. "What's going on is that Maui and his crew have found their way here." I notice Moana smile for the first time since being captured a couple days ago. My joyful mood shifts into a much darker one quickly. "Scar, what do you mean they found us?" Before he can even answer my question, Maui and his crew charge down into the basement with Scar following behind them. Scar then joins my side. It's three versus two, but I don't count Ariel because she's a girl and she's weak. I know I sound sexist but I don't care. Deep down, you know I'm right. 

  Maui, Scar, and I all have an intense stare down, silently beginning for one of us to make the first move. Surprisingly, it's Maui. Maui gets all up in my face. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU KIDNAP MY GIRLFRIEND?!!!" I growl at him. "She's not your girlfriend, she's mine." He looks at me like a belong in the insane asylum. "She is not your girlfriend Tamatoa nor will she ever be. You need to give up on that delusional fantasy." His snarky comments are pissing me off to the point where I end up cupping Mo's face and start kissing her. She doesn't kiss me back of course but just to have my lips crash on hers is enough to satisfy myself based on how much I pissed off Maui. He looks like he could stab me with a knife. I hope he tries to. If he did, he could rot away in jail as I originally hoped that he would. Instead, he goes over to Moana, frees her, and holds her in his arms. The sight both sickens me and breaks my heart at the same time. As much as I hate Maui, I can't deny that love that those two have for one another. It's so pure, unlike any love I've ever seen between two people.

  Scar goes after Maui and swings at him. Maui ducks the punch smoothly and ends up throwing at Scar. Maui's fist collides with Scar's jaw and I heard the sound of it breaking. Scar whimpers, which is something I've never heard him do before other than when we were little. Scar holds a hand to his jaw while glaring hatefully at Maui. "Scar, leave him be." My words seem to shock everyone in the room, especially Scar and Maui. Maui takes a hesitant step towards me, gently putting Mo down on the ground. "What did you just say Tamatoa?" I sigh and look him straight in the eyes. "I'm tired of chasing after Moana when it's clear that she doesn't want me. I can't stand you Maui, but it's mainly because I'm jealous of you and everything you have."

Maui's POV

  I look at Tamatoa with a mix of shock and sadness. "Why would you be jealous of me Tamatoa? I'm nothing special. The only thing that makes me special is Moana, not that she's an object of course." Mo gives me a small smile and kisses me on the cheek, causing me to blush. Tamatoa frowns at this display of affection. "Maui, you have everything. You have better football skills than I do, you got the position of captain faster than I did, you have real friends plural, and the most amazing girl in the world. You don't realize how lucky you are." I try to tell myself that this is just another one of his ploys but as true heartbreak spreads across his face and tears well up in his eyes, I know that this is Tamatoa expressing his real feelings to me in front of everyone. "I'm sorry Maui." He then looks at Mo. "I'm sorry Mo." He then looks to Ariel and Jack and says the same to them. 

   Tamatoa then falls to his knees and bursts into tears. Despite all of the awful things that he's done to us, I can't help but feel for him. I was like him once. I sit down on the ground beside him and awkwardly pat his back. "We'll forgive you Tamatoa if you promise to leave the four of us alone, especially Moana." He wipes away his tears and looks up at me. "I promise that I will leave the four of you alone, especially Moana. Can I just ask for one little favor from Moana?" I look at Mo, silently pleading her to be careful. She nods and looks at Tamatoa, giving him a nod. Tamatoa moves closer to Moana and stares intensely at her. "Moana, can I give you a hug?" The thought of him touching her any further sickens me but I know that he needs this. He needs to know that she truly doesn't hate him. I motion for her to hug him and she does, though very lightly and only for a few seconds before pulling away from him and coming back over to me. Without another word, Jack, Ariel, Mo, and I leave this godforsaken dungeon.

Moana's POV

 As soon as we leave Scar's disturbing house, I fling myself into Maui's arms and sob like a baby. He holds me tightly and ends up sobbing himself. Ariel and Jack soon join in and the four of us are emotional messes. We're all just so happy to be together again, alive and well. I honestly didn't think I was going to be free with so little injuries. I'm so blessed.
