The Pirate's Past

Harry

General POV

Sierra walks back to the other pirates and sits alone at the dock dangling her feet over the water. She takes this time to think about what her next move should be, save Ben and got back to Auradon with them. Or save Ben and stay here, where she thinks she belongs. 

She knows it would probably be safer for her and everyone if she stayed here, cause there's no magic. But all of her friends are on Auradon, but is it worth the risk? She doesn't know yet,  that's why at noon, she has to make the biggest decision yet. Continue life on Auradon, or start over on the Isle.

She swings her feet humming to a tune while thinking about her future, 

"Mind if I join ya?" She knows who it is by the accent, she motions him over and he sits down beside her.

They sit in peace for a few minutes, enjoying each other's company and the silence. Knowing they don't get much of that, and Sierra hasn't had this in a long time. Harry looks at Sierra as she stares out towards Auradon, studying her face. Wondering where it all went wrong for them, he knows what went wrong. But could it be fixed? He hopes so,

"I remember when we would sneak away from your dad, and come down here in the middle of the night just to enjoy some time not being evil." Harry sighs,

"And I would threaten to push you in the water, and you would be so scared because your dad said there were crocodiles in the water." Sierra giggles and Harry chuckles. 

They fall into silence again, neither of them knowing what to say. Harry clears his throat,

"I think you should go back to Auradon."

"What happened to us?" 

The two VK's say at the same time. They look at each other, then look away just as quickly,

"I don't think going to Auradon is a good idea. There's magic there, what if I can't control the curse. It feeds off of other magic. I'm dangerous." Sierra twiddles her fingers,

"No, you're not. I've seen the way you are, you care about them so much. You are the most compassionate, and kindest person I have ever met. They need you. Seeing as you are the queen." Harry takes her hands into his, "Sierra."

She lifts her head and looks into his eyes, 

"You are the strongest person I know. If you could handle all the crap you went through with your family, you can handle a curse. You need to show this curse who's boss. I believe in you, I know you can do this. You are Sierra freaking Turner, daughter of Will Turner, queen of Auradon. The VK who gave us hope. Hope that one day,  we can all be as brave as you." 

Sierra gives his hand a squeeze, and Harry wipes a tear falling down her cheek. She giggles softly and he rests his hand on her cheek, 

"Sierra. You need to go back. This," Harry gestures to the Isle, "isn't something you want." 

Sierra huffs and intertwines her fingers with his, 

"I don't know Harry. It's safer for everyone if I'm here. You know me. I love danger and causing mischief. It would just be worse, the curse feeds on magic. At least here, there isn't any. So no one could get hurt." Sierra explains,

"Is it worth leaving the life you have on Auradon?" He asks. Sierra turns and looks at her second home. Is it worth it?

"If it means I am protecting them from something dangerous, then yes. It's worth it." Sierra nods and looks back at Harry.

"As long as you're sure. No matter what you choose, I'll support you." Harry smiles slightly. Sierra tilts her head in confusion, she's never seen Harry smile. Like ever. 

"You have a pretty smile." She compliments him,

"What?"

"Your smile. I've never seen it before, it's very pretty." She smiles. 

"No wonder they made you queen." He smirks, "Too nice to be a villain." She punches his shoulder and they laugh together.

"I can be evil." She argues,

"Trust me I know you can be." Harry shakes his head, "You asked what happened to us. Why?"

"I guess, I wanted to know your side. I know my reasons, what were yours?" She asks. 

Harry stays quiet for a moment, thinking about his answer. Should he tell her the truth, or lie to protect her feelings.

"Harry?" She gets his attention,

"I thought I wasn't good enough for you anymore. You always wanted to keep us a secret, I felt like you were embarrassed to be with me. You promised me everything I ever wanted, and I thought I could actually get it. At first, I was with you because you could get me out of here, but then I saw who you really are and I fell head over heels for you. But by the time I figured out my feelings,  you were already gone. I hated myself for it, and I didn't know who to blame so I started hating you." Harry looks up at Sierra, 

"I hated you for leaving me, for choosing them over me. For forgetting about me. But most of all I hated you for making me fall in love with you. As Uma and I got closer, the hate started to subside. And when I heard you were bringing VKs over, I thought maybe just maybe this was my second chance. But you didn't choose me. And all the hate just came tumbling back. And I saw you and Carlos getting close, and that was heartbreaking."

Harry takes a deep breath, not knowing if he should continue. He could see the tears welling up in Sierra's eyes,

"When you came back. All I wanted was revenge for all the pain you caused me. But I realized, it wasn't your fault. I had let you slip through my fingers and I hated myself for it. When I found Ben, I took him because Uma told me too. I didn't want to, but I knew maybe this would make you go back to Auradon. Because we all saw how happy you were over there, and deep down we are all so happy you found your happy ending. Even if it meant we couldn't have ours." Harry finishes.

Sierra wipes some of the tears off her cheeks. Harry looks at the ground, not wanting to see Sierra crying. She takes her hands and holds onto his,

"Well, I think this is the most emotion I've ever seen from you." Sierra jokes trying to lighten the mood.

"So you're not mad at me?" Harry asks,

"I'm not mad at you Harry. I'm sorry I made you feel that way-" Harry cuts her off,

"No. Don't apologize. I now realized I'm the only person to blame for losing you. You did what you had to do to fit in and adjust. I don't blame you for anything." Harry says. 

"This is why you were my best friend." She pulls him into a hug and he hugs her back, "I've missed you, Harry." 

"I've missed you too Sierra." He squeezes her slightly before letting go,

"Now. We've got some company, practice quick?" She says standing up,

"You aren't even that good." He jokes,

"Still haven't been beaten, and you won't beat me either." 

With that they going running towards the ship, taking out their swords and start practicing as the other four villains get everything together.
