You Have Me Hooked

Chapter Twenty

Evie walked through the castle doors, scared because she didn't know what was going to happen. Harry told her a plan, but she wasn't sure if she was going to be able to go through with it.

"Ben?"

Ben stammered down the hallway with a bottle of alcohol in his hand. He took a few swigs from it before saying anything.

"Is it done?" He spat at her.

"Yes, now can I see my son?"

"Evie, you didn't think it was going to be that easy did you?"

"I did everything you said, Ben. Let me see my son, now."

He walked up to her and grabbed her hair pulling her close to him. So close she could smell the alcohol on his breath and it made her almost sick.

"Don't talk to me like that, whore."

"Ben, please."

He released her hair and laughed manically.

"Now I won't kill Harry. He is still my son, even if he isn't mine, but I need a son of my own. What better place to conceive a child than this place."

"Ben, I don't want another baby."

"Did I ask you. You are my wife and I demand you to take off your clothes and make a baby with me!" He screamed at her.

"That's not happening," Harry Hook said barging through the door.

"Ah, Harry I knew I'd be seeing you soon. Did Evie tell you that she doesn't love you? That means I won the beat and you are now my prisoner. How great!"

"What?" Evie asked turning to Harry.

"He made a bet that if you went with him, I would be his prisoner."

"Now that I have won, I won't take you as a prisoner. No that's too cruel, I'm going to kill you instead."

"Ben no," Evie pleaded as he drew his sword out.

"Any last words pirate scum."

Harry laughed and drew his sword taking the proper stance. Ben charged at him, but Harry being the excellent swordsmen that he is, blocked it without hesitation. However, despite Ben being really drunk, he was still a great swordsman. Evie watched in horror as metal clashed on metal between her husband and the man she loved.

"Harry! Ben! Please stop!" She kept yelling over and over again.

As the two kept fighting, Evie rushed to the closet where he son was.

"Mommy!"

She wrapped her arms around her son tightly.

"Harry, I need you to run away from here. Do you remember where the shipyard was? Right down the road from here."

The boy nodded, flinching everytime he heard the swords crashing.

"Good boy. Look for the biggest ship with red paint. My friend, Smee, is on that ship. I need you to tell him that you're my son and that you need to stay here until I get there. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Mommy."

"Good," Evie said giving him a kiss on the forehead, "I need you to run as fast as you can and do not come back here. I love you so much."

"I love you, too."

"Alright run out the back door," Evie said pointing to the door and giving him one last kiss.

Evie composed herself and entered the room to find the two still fighting.

"This is all your fault, Evie." Ben said angerly.

"Don't blame this on her."

"What are you going to do about it, pirate?"

Ben said with a smirk on his face looking at the pirate. He then turned quickly, jabbing him in the stomach. Harry let out a groan and fell to his knees.

"Harry!"

Ben started laughing, picking up his sword ready to strike the wounded Harry. However, in one swift movement, Harry swung his feet out and used them to knock Ben over. He fell backward onto his sword. It went straight through him, killing him instantly.

Evie watched with a horrified look on her face and she stared at the dead body. Harry got up and went over to the body, trying to save him but it was too late. She snapped out of her shock when she heard Harry grunt in pain again. He was bleeding profusely and laid down on the floor. Evie grabbed a pillow and a blanket from the couch next to her and rushed to his side.

Evie placed the pillow under his head and lifted up his shirt to the wound. She took the blanket and placed it on the wound, trying to stop the blood. After a while, she could tell it wouldn't stop.

"It's okay, Evie."

"No, I am not letting you die."

Right then an idea came into her head. She reached for the pearls around her neck tugging on them until the pearls went over the floor. She pulled out one of her earrings and attached the string to it.

"This is going to hurt,"

She said stabbing on side of the wound with the earing pulling the string. She was making make-shift stitches until she could get a doctor. Harry let out hurt groans and as she continued to stitch up his wounds.

Once the whole wound was stitched together, Evie let out a sigh.

"Harry, I live a few doors down from a doctor. I am going to get him and be right back. Please stay here and do not move!"

He nodded at her. She got up and ran out the door. She pounded on the doctor's door and demanded he helps her. He grabbed his medical bag and ran to Evie's castle.

"The stitches were smart and possibly saved his life," He said taking out his tools, "But unfortunately not his."

Evie forgot about Ben's dead body lying on the floor. She went over to him and looked at his cold lifeless eyes and closed them. She left the room and sat on the kitchen floor. She let out loud sobs and rocked back and forth.
