The Aftermath

Finally His & Blue

Finally His & Blue

Yesterday was the day Uma found the missing key to freedom. Today would be the day Uma would be known around the entire Isle as a saviour. She would free them and they could get their happily ever afters. Uma was quite pleased with herself thinking of all that she would do and reach this day. The weather today was not too bad. There was a bit of wind and it rained but for the Isle it was really calm. Uma couldn't wait till she would be back in Auradon. The weather there was rarely bad and they didn't have a gigantic grey cloud covering the sky. The only negative point was that Snow White's daughter had proven to be a bit too intelligent for Uma's liking. She immediately had made a deal with Uma, to ensure they wouldn't leave her behind. And because of Uma's lack on gambling on her possible marriage with Harry, the girl was now part of the crew.

"You look better." Fabienne told Gil. It was raining but the entire crew was camping on the deck of the Lost Revenge. It had taken her a while to feel safe so close to Uma's crew, scared of them stealing her stuff or taunting her. Luckily, becoming friends with Gil had been easy. Gil had a rough time, especially when he found her in the old warehouse. His dad had been bullying him, and he felt a bit disconnected from Harry and Uma, because of their (not so secret) secret relationship. He had immediately taken a liking to the new girl and had chatted her up. He gained a new friend which made him very happy. Gil was an uncomplicated boy. He liked attention and making friends and hated arguing. "I do?" Gil asked. "Yeah, you do. You are less pale and your eyes sparkle more." Gil smiled. "Thanks Fabienne." He said. "Uhm Gil, about my name... I don't like it that much. It's not intimidating and it is quite long. I want something like my mom, like Snow." Gils face got a pained expression as he was clearly thinking deep. "We could call you Sunshine, 'cuz that's what you are. A ray of sunshine." The girl hugged the taller boy and laughed. "You are so sweet Gil, but that kind of defeats the purpose of an intimidating name." Gil shrugged. "Well, intimidating doesn't suit you but..." He looked her up and down. "We could call you Blue... After your favourite colour and after your eyes." She considered it and nodded. "Blue it is."

Gil walked over to Uma and Harry whispering something Blue couldn't hear. She rather liked her new name, not feeling out of place as much with her long foreign name. Uma cleared her throat and Blue focused on her, like the rest of the crew. Uma felt proud. "My dear Wharf Rats, today is the day we claim our freedom. Today is the day we get what is rightfully ours. Sadly, we had to make some alterations to the original plan. When we leave this rotten Isle we will do it quickly, not attracting any attention. We will go in rowboats, leaving our beloved ship behind." The crew booed but Uma gave them a death stare and they quieted down. "We won't trash Auradon the moment we get there. No, we will lie low, averting attention. Then, as the night falls we will steal the Black Pearl." The crew gasped. Hands started to pop up, begging for Uma's attention and to listen to their questions. "Captain, how are we going to steal the Black Pearl? It seems a fools plan, with all due respect." Uma grinned. Whenever someone said with all due respect they didn't mean it at all. The only reason Uma's crew even bothered to be polite was because if they didn't they would have a problem. "Well Bonny, we don't have to break into the place where all the magical artefacts are stored. And that is the part which would have been impossible, right?" Bonny nodded. "We actually have the keys to Auradon's most secured building, thanks to Desiree." Desiree grinned as she received praise and a hug from her girlfriend. "But guys, I have one last point to address in this meeting. This is Blue." Gil pulled Blue in front of the crowd while she looked awkward and just flashed the crew a small smile. "She is our last ingre.... Uhm, member of the crew to join." Uma looked awkward, almost making a big mistake by insulting the girl. "She will lower the barrier." The crew cheered for Blue, who felt extremely awkward being brought into this position.

Uma had planned an specific time to do the lowering of the barrier. She had looked through all the documents she owned. She and Harry would collect the documents by picking them up from the shore or by taking them from people who had the same idea. Sometimes they had to use violence but the pirates always got what they wanted. Uma was now looking out over the water, waiting impatiently for the time to pass. Harry walked up to the spot right next to her. "Excited?" he asked with the biggest grin. " I certainly am! It will be very nice to be in a place full of opportunities for once even if it is Bore-adon." Uma looked at him. She felt a tender smile creep up her face looking at the cutie that is Harry Hook. Well not the cutie, her cutie. "I'm worried actually. As soon as we cross that barrier we are in territory which isn't mine." Harry understood what she was saying and decided to comfort her. "Uma, I can't promise nothin' will happen to us but I promise ye this: I'll always look out for ye. That's what I'll do." He briefly hugged her before softly ticking on her watch with his hook. "I believe it's time, darlin'. Uma took a deep breath before walking to the middle of the ship to count her crew and the small children that they would take. After all the crew didn't wish a repeat of their youth on anybody and wanted to give the youngsters opportunities. After concluding they had everybody she directed everybody into the lifeboats. They all rowed to the barrier, stopping right before it. She shared a boat with Harry, Gil, Blue and a pair of toddlers and a small baby which had been dumped by the mother. Blue held the baby, calming it down till it was almost asleep. Uma had pulled one of the toddlers close, whispering the rhymes she had learned as a kid to the child. She made sure everyone was quiet, waiting for the monthly fire alarm to go off in Auradon. She had chosen this time because the documents stated that every first Monday of the month the alarm would ring at 12.00 am (12 'o clock) precisely. And indeed, there it went. Uma quickly handed Blue the wand and spell. Blue performed the spell.

For a moment nothing happened. But then, a part of the barrier started to crack. Soon after the whole first layer of the barrier came down. It was like pieces of diamond formed like a glass wall collapsed into the sea. In the boats the pirates quickly fished as much of the diamond pieces out of the sea as possible. Within a few moments the diamond dissolved in the water. "This isn't normal diamond guys! It is magical!" Blue exclaimed. Uma knew they could trade it in Auradon for food and other necessary things. They had waited for a few minutes but there still hadn't been a sign that anything had been noticed by the inhabitants of Auradon. "Uma...? There is still a part of the barrier standing..." Jonas stated. Uma rolled her eyes. "I have eyes as well, idiot. That is the part which keeps the dark hearted inside. We just broke the part that held anyone inside." "So we can leave now?" Desiree asked. Uma confirmed her statement. She signed Harry and Gil to start rowing while she and Blue watched the kids to make sure they didn't fall out of the boat. The front of the boat touched the barrier but nothing happened. They rowed further and Blue and the baby were consumed by the barrier. They could see her sitting at the same distance but a fog clouded a clear sight and their ability to hear what Blue said. Blue signed that it was safe. Soon Gil and Harry were in Auradon. Uma and the toddlers and the rest of the boat were almost consumed before Uma yelled: "It's safe guys." Soon all the boats followed. The crew cheered. The difference between the Isle of the Lost and Auradon was extremely noticeable. The sun was shining and the sea was way calmer. They could see fishes below them, instead of sharks and crocodiles. Uma pulled Harry close and kissed him. The crew cheered even harder, happy that their captain and first mate could finally express their love without being in constant danger. And Harry? He was ecstatic by the fact his true love was finally officially his girlfriend.

Thank you for reading this chapter! I'm terribly sorry for the long wait but because of school I couldn't update sooner. I'll try to upload more!
