Between The Wicked

Chapter 42: The Shadow Man

Hayden's POV

Right as I step out of the salon someone walks up to me, and it turns out to be the cheating Harry Hook. "Heidi, are you okay?" Harry asks attempting to put his hand on my shoulder but I pull away from him before he can touch me. "Why are you asking?" I ask in a nasty tone of voice, and the look on Harry's face is one of confusion. "I just wanted to make sure that you were alright, you were crying your eyes out a little bit ago when you ran into Uma and I." I scoff at him with a smile on my face. "You and Uma were about to have sex on the docks Harry, and let's get one thing straight I wouldn't shed a tear over you if I was the only person at your funeral. Harry just looks down at the ground. "Do us both a favor and go crawl back to the sea whore that had you on a leash." Harry eyes go dark and he wraps his hook around my neck pressing the tip of it into my neck. "Ye better remember who you are talking to, little lady." Harry grabs me by my throat and swinging around throwing me onto the floor. "Ye ever talk like that to me again I will feed you sharks." Harry growls at me as I make it back to my feet. "You really think that you have it in you to hurt me hook boy?" Harry pulls out his sword and points it to my chest, "You really want to find you?" I take out both of my swords as the two of us just stare at each other. "Ladies first." I say smirking at him and Harry bows to me before quickly pulling a dagger out of the boot and throwing it at me. I side flip avoiding the dagger as it strikes a barrel. "You taught me better than that." Harry runs up to me and back hands me sending me down to the ground. "I didn't teach you all my tricks." Harry smiles a sadistic smile as he kneels down onto me and runs his hook along my face. "This is going to hurt you more than it is going to hurt me." Harry raise his hook but then suddenly someone tackles Harry off of me sending both of them crashing through the side of a deserted building. "What was that?" I ask making it back to my feet, and as I walk into the building I see Harry and Morris fist fighting on the ground. "Morris?" I ask as he looks at me which gives Harry enough time to punch him in his face and make it back to his feet. "What are you doing here, none of us should be here, we are in Queen's Kingdom." Morris makes it back to his feet and before Morris can get to Harry again I step in between them. "Both of you stop right now." Both men look at each other with hatred in their eyes but then look down at me. "YOU EVER LAY A HAND ON HER AGAIN I WILL SHOVE THAT HOOK DOWN YOUR THROAT PIRATE BOY!" Morris roars which only gets laughter from Harry. "Heidi is more than capable of taking care of herself, she doesn't need a sex puppet like you dragging her down." Harry taunts Morris knowing that like Harry Morris had anger issues. "At least I am not the one that follows Uma around like a lost little puppy looking for its owner." Harry lunges for Morris as I push both of them apart. "Morris go, and I will see you later." Morris looks at me like I am crazy. "GO!" I yell at me which makes him quickly walk out of the place. "Who is Henry?" I hear Harry ask me and I feel this sense of terror rise in me as I turn around to face the pirate. "What are you talking about?" I ask him trying to regain my emotions and keep myself under control. "A couple of days ago something happened to me and I ran into a little boy who looks like he could be my identical twin, and his name was Henry." I look into Harry's eyes and I can tell that Harry is telling the me the truth. "Tell me everything that happened, and don't leave anything out." Harry takes off his pirate hat and runs his hand through his hair. "I was on my way to see Uma when I saw this blue blanket with little yellow ships on just laying on someone's cart, and when I touched it something strange happened to me." I don't say a word and let Harry finish what he telling me. "All of sudden I was standing in the rain near the docks, when I heard the sound of someone behind me, and when I investigated I found a little boy who name is Henry." I groan in frustration because this is not what I need right now, I don't need Harry starting to get his memory back. "He said that this dad taught him a lot about how to read and navigate stars, but when I asked him about where his parents are all he said was that they weren't around." I sigh trying to think of a way to spin this in my favor. "Just forget about it Harry, there must have been something in your rum." Harry just shakes his head. "It felt real to me Heidi, like this little boy is trying to tell me something." I snarl in anger. "It means nothing, now just go back to Uma, and put this in the back of your dark and twisted mind." Harry lashes out in anger and destroys the inside of the building before walking out and leaving. I take a deep breath before walking out of the crumbling building. "Looks like little Henry has the power of vision communication, clever little boy." I say to myself as I start walking heading towards the one place and the one person that I have been meaning to see since I set foot back on the isle. I walk into the dark and eerie shop that is filled with odd things, I walk around trying not bump into anything when I hear a voice coming from somewhere in the darkness. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the daughter of Hades who just so happened to wander into my shop." A seductive voice hisses, and I start searching around to find the source of this voice. "You know who I am, I know who you are, so why don't come out and we can talk face to face." I say and see a shadowy figure move from one side of the shop to the other. "Why has the daughter of death come to see little old me, it must be something of grave important." I nod my head no knowing where this man is now. "You are the only one I know that can give me what I want, and I am willing to give you something in return for your help." I turn around to see the shadowy figure now in front of me. "What do you have that I could possible want?" I take a deep breath before pulling out both the blue diamond and the yellow diamond from my purse. "I can offer you the blood diamond." The shadowy figure grins a large grin before starting to laugh, "Why didn't you just say that from the start child." The figure slithers back into the darkness and suddenly the lights of the shop turn on. The person standing in front of me is tall, very skinny, has dark skin, a tiny mustache on his upper lip, and mesmerizing purple eyes. "What can I do for you?" He asks me and I smile at him. "I need your help Dr. Facilier."
