My Other Half (Descendants 2 fanfic)

Chapter 6

Isle of the Lost
Nelani POV

It had been a hard day at work. Everyone was in the chip shop for dinner. I was sitting at the long table with Harry and Gil eating chips while watching the TV. The only channels we got were the stupid Aurodon ones, and the quality was terrible. Mal and her boyfriend the King, Ben, were all that we saw these days. Every time I saw her I would think of Jay and I would feel a bit sad, but if Uma found out she would be enraged. I need to let go of these feelings. I hate Jay, he left me here to die. Didn't he?

Uma marched into the room then dumping a white waist apron on to the counter and pushing away one of her crew mates to sit with us. She grabbed some of the chips and threw them at the TV. Harry and I continued to much on them.
"Poser." Uma snarled.
"Traitor!" Harry yelled.
"Hello?" Uma looked at us with disgust. I started the trend by throwing more food at the TV. Uma gave me a satisfied look. Sauce and potato stuck to the screen and blocked the already bad vision.
"Oh how I would love to wipe the smiles off their faces, d'ye know what I mean?" Harry asked, liking off the sauce and chips from the TV and resuming his place next to me.
"Gil! You wanna quick chocking down yokes and get with the program?" Uma asked Gil, who gave her a blank stare.
"Uh, yeah. What he said." Uma rolled her eyes.
"That little traitor." She said turning to Harry and I. "Who left us in the dirt."
"Who turned her back on evil." Harry said, licking off more sauce.
"Who forgot us all." I said.
"Who said you weren't big or bad enough to be in her gang!" Gil said. Oh no. Everyone went quiet. "Back when we were kids. Come on, don't you remember? She called her Shrimpy and the name just kind of..." Gil trailed off when Uma sent a menacing glare his way "stuck." He finished.
"That snooty little witch, who grabbed everything she wanted and left me nothing." We all knew about the bad blood between Mal and Uma. We all know about the hateful relationship between Harry and Jay. And how could we forget about the broken romance between Mal and Harry. They all had something against my half-brother and Mal. I was probably the only one in that crew who didn't have anything against them. No, that's not true, they abandoned me, left me. I had every reason to hate them. So why couldn't I?
"No, she left you that sand box and then she said that you could have—"
"I need you to stop talking!" Uma cut off Gil.
"Look, we have her turf now, they can stay in Aurodon."
"Nelani, that's her turf now! And I want it too. We should not be getting her left overs." Uma said. "Son of Hook, son of Gaston, daughter of Jafar, and me! Most of all, daughter or Ursula." She grabbed us in one massive hug. The gesture felt uncomfortable. "What's my name?"
"Uma." I said.
"Uma." Harry took off his hat and practically bowed to her.
"What's my name?" She said with more force.
"Uma?" Gil asked with an egg in his mouth.
"What's my name, What's my name?"
"Uma!" The crowd sings back to her. She grins.

I laughed as Gil tried to get out of the net and Uma got out of her chair. A thick slimy tentacle came out and whipped everyone from the kitchen. Girls screamed and everyone ducked out of the way.
"Shut your clams!" Ursula called out.
"Mom!" Uma said.
"These dishes ain't gonna wash themselves!"
"It's fine, it's fine, because when I get my chance to rain evil down on Aurodon I will take it! They won't know what hit them. They'll forget that girl, and the world will know the name—"
"Shrimpy!" Gil yelled out. Uma looked at Harry and I. We grabbed Gil and took him out of the restaurant, throwing him threw the doors. He tried to come back in, but I gave him my most menacing glare with my arms folded. Harry came up behind me with his hook pointed at Gil's throat. He looked down on me, but turned around and sat on the steps. Harry and I went back inside and Uma grabbed us both.
"We need to talk tonight. My quarters at midnight." She said. We nodded our heads and went back to sitting at the table.

"So, I need you to go on the rounds, but I have a plan. Rumour has it that we have some visitors on the Isle, and I need you two to investigate."
"What do you mean 'visitors'?" I ask.
"I'm not sure. That's why you need to go out." Uma says.
"Where would we start?" Harry asked.
"Start with your rounds. That means, Dizzy Tremaine, Phoebe Faciller, ect, and then maybe search around the main parts of the Isle." Uma said. "Go now." Harry and I start running from the ship and make our way around the Isle, doing our rounds. We had just left Phoebe Faciller at her fathers con shop and were making our way to The Curl Up & Dye, Lady Tremaines hair and beauty salon. I used to come here frequently to talk to Dizzy, who used to be one of my good friends because we were close in age, but since Jay left and I joined Uma, we have become kind of weird frenemies. Harry opened the door and gestured me to go on first. I smile at him and walk into the salon, pulling back the curtain. I take a double take. I don't believe it.
"Mal?"
