The Phantom (H. Hook) | Descendants

32: My Captain Has Found Me

HARRY AND I HAVE BEEN GOING OUT FOR OVER A MONTH NOW....

Its been amazing. Harry is amazing. I never thought dating him would be so thrilling and adventurous. As if it wasn't thrilling enough when we were just friends. Well technically we are still just friends. We aren't really official yet. I guess we have what you call a "thing". This is basically like a test drive before we really ride the car called "officialy boyfriend and girlfriend".

We didn't have any serious talk about being official yet. I didn't initiate a conversation about it yet either. I was waiting out on him to do that. I guess you could say I'm old fashioned that way. But well yeah, life is great and that is very ironic coming from the daughter of the goddess of death.

I sighed dreamily which was very out of character for me, as I slammed my locker close. I was shocked to see Harry standing there. He had been hiding behind the locker door all along. I gasped taken aback by his sudden appearance and held my books tightly to my chest as to not drop them as I jumped backwards a bit with a small yelp.

"Ah! Harry you scared me!" I said with a small nervous laugh.

He looked good. Like really really good. I never thought he would look good in Auradon like clothes but he looks amazing in them. Aphrodite please dont put him in a tux or that will be the death of me.

He smirked that stupid smirk and leaned in closer so that we're an inch apart. "I scare you love? I scare the goddess of death?" He said brushing my hair with his hook which he still loved to carry around. He twirls a strand of my hair around it and I feel stupid to just watch him do it like a deer caught in headlights.

"I..." was all I got out of my stupid mouth. What the Underworld is happening?!

Harry smirked even more and stepped even closer. So close that I could feel his breath on my face. I could feel that unexplainable tension once more that made my heart race and my pale cold cheeks burn hotter than the fires in the Underworld. He sneakily snaked an arm around my waist and pulled me even closer. I stared right into his icy orbs and watched him smirk in delight seeing he had me in his trap.

"What's this? You're speechless. Not even one comeback? This is very unlike you Hyacinth, you're even blushing" he said whispering breathily in my ear in a low and teasing tone.

I froze in place before I slapped myself mentally. I should be in my game. I forced myself into a shaky smirk, but a smirk nonetheless.

"Really Pirate? Just because you can get this kind of reaction from me, dont get too cocky" I whispered into his ear in the same manner. For added affect, I let myself fall into his embrace and tugged at his tie to bring his stupid tall height a bit lower to mine.

This time, I get the upperhand as he freezes in place. I smirked and used this to my advantage. I brought up my pale cold hand to gently caress his cheek, sliding my index finger to trace his jawline. I giggle mischievously as I hear his breath hitch.

"What's this? Cat got your tongue? Not a little flirty one liner back? Very unlike you Harry"

He gave a genuine smile seeing I used his words against him.

"Glad to see you still have your touch princess"

"Of course I still do Pirate"

"Oh God why dont you two just make out already? Your faces are so close you just kiss. Its painfully excruciating to watch" we heard a third voice making us pull away from each other. We may have disregarded the fact that we were in public.

Harry rolled his eyes irritatedly at the newcomer. "Hello Evie" he spat annoyed.

Evie gave him a sarcastic sweet smile and an equally annoyed, "Hello Harry, Hyacinth" she nodded to me acknowledging my presence.

"You guys have been shamefully flirting in this hallway without even kissing for 10 minuets straight. If you are going to have PDA atleast not in the hallway" she ranted.

I laughed at her demeanor. "Well that rhymed. And its called friendly flirting Eve"

She rolled her eyes. "Pfft. Yeah very very friendly by the looks of it"

"Why are you here?" Harry asked her a bit too bluntly and rudely.

Evie threw him a small glare before turning to me with a softer look on her face. "Hyacinth, there's a new student just in. Ben told me he wanted us to introduce him to the place and give him a tour"

I shrugged. "Yeah okay. Whatever"

"I will come with you" Harry said.

Evie raised an eyebrow at him. "Why?"

"Why not?" Harry retorted.

Evie groaned in annoyance and rolled her eyes while a small smile played on my lips.

"Ok whatever. Just dont cause too much trouble" Evie said sighing exasperatedly.

"I promise" Harry singsonged while looking at me with a mischievous smile.

I gave a small laugh at this as he put his arm around my shoulder. We walked through the various hallways and doors.

"So who is the newbie?" I asked.

"Oh someone named Victor something last name. I dont know. He just moved in to this school" Evie replied nonchalantly.

"Who is his parents?" I further question.

Evie shrugged. "I dont know that either. His file didnt say"

A frown adorned my eyebrows. That's strange. Who exactly is this Victor?

We arrived at the room the newbie was staying in. We opened the door and his back facing us. He was sitting in a chair with his foot tapping impatiently. At the sound of the door opening, he immediately stood up and spun around in unusual urgency.

Victor was tall with dark hair and brown eyes that held secrets. I was taken aback to see his eyes suddenly well up with tears upon seeing me. Dear Zeus am I that terrifying? But these tears and the expression of his face wasnt of intimidation nor fear. It looked so lovesick and heartbroken.

Did I do something?

"Hyacinth" he breathed out in a soft almost inaudible whisper.

Evie and I shared a look of alarm. He knew my name. Who was this guy? I could feel Harry's grip around me tighten protectively. I looked to him and saw his face was painted with a defensive scowl.

I turned back to the stranger. "Who are you?" I asked a bit too harshly than I wanted. The guy was already crying though so I admit I felt bad but I dont even know what he was crying for.

His face wore a bittersweet smile as he looked down and blinked away his tears chewing on his lip. "I should have expected this. They did say you wouldn't remember me at all" he said.

"Who are you and how do you know me? What are you talking about?" I further asked but the guy loved to be mysterious.

He looked up once more with his tear glazed eyes. "Hyacinth its me. I am the one who appears in your dreams every night. I am thr one you've been searching for all this time. I am here now my dark angel" he said. His voice was shaky and he slightly whimpered at one point.

My eyes widened and I let out a loud gasp. I slowly and gently took myself out of Harry's grip. He tried to make me stay put but he was too engulfed by confusion and shock in what Victor was saying that his grip weakened.

With shaking legs and a heavy heart, I stepped towards him slowly but surely. He looked so unsure. He looked like he wanted to embrace me but he was hesitating to. So I took the first step and held his cold shaking hands in my own.

"Captain? Is it really you?" I asked in disbelief. My heart was racing a thousand miles per minuet as I waited in anticipation.

He slowly raised his hand and caressed my cheek. "I promised you I would find you"

A laugh resonated from my lips. A cry of joy. I pratctically threw my arms around him and he held me close to him wrapping his arms around my waist. I found him. My Phantom. My Captain.
