Uma
I couldn't do it, I failed everyone... especially my pirate crew who watched and waited for me to go through with it.
Why'd I stop? Well, I wanted my revenge to be something bigger.. something that would make the octopus I call my mother proud.
Anything to get her off my back, but no fate didn't want me to have that.
Sighing, I looked at Mal and Ben and everyone from Auradon one last time before jumping from the ship into the cold but beautiful water it was calling me and I welcomed its embrace.
I swam beneath the waves and let my Ceacelian blood take over. I let my tentacles guide me to the Isle of the Lost, the hell I've called home for my whole life.
I couldn't face anyone at all, not after my failure. Especially Gil and Harry.
What would they think of their Captain? Was I that weak? No. Unlike Mal and her traitors I was plenty evil, not my fault they abandoned all of that for Auradon.
Stupid old Auradon, how dare they leave us to fend for ourselves? How dare they! The more I thought about their betrayal, the harder it became to focus. Those snooty little bitches for everything and left us nothing.
I could feel the Isle's waters near me which meant my tentacles would disappear due to no magic being used in the Isle if that makes sense.
I tried to fight the angry waves but my anger was receding like the lost tides, I ended up losing focus and before I knew it, I was slipping away into the deep sea like dead weight.
I closed my eyes, welcoming this unhinged darkness, that is until strong, muscular, arms pulled me out.
At that moment I didn't care.

"Uma!"
"Captain, wake up!" I sat upright as I coughed out the remaining water that had infiltrated my lungs.
I looked up and saw Gil and Harry, my loyal crew mates.
I looked at my hands,
"You should've let my ass drown." I stated looking away from them, failure like mine was punishable by death. No matter the ranking.
I felt a hand grab my chin and force me to look at them.
"Darling, we're loyal till the end. I just wish you'd explain why you passed an opportunity like that up." replied the ever so hotheaded Harry, I looked at Gil who's smile warmed my heart.
"He's right, we're both always going to be here for you! You're our best friend and my little sister. We'll keep you grounded, but yes please explain." stated Gil as he rubbed my back, waiting for me to explain while taking a seat beside my bed.
I sighed yet again, I willed the tears that wanted to come out, away.
"I wanted to make them suffer, I wanted all of us to do it together. I'll never not be wicked, unlike those fairies. I just wanted to do it on our accord." I stated as I waited for their response, I shivered still feeling cold and nervous under their penetrative gazes.
The tension was at an all time high, I doubt even a knife could cut through this.
Finally, after what seemed like ages, Harry spoke first.
"Love, that's okay. We're right behind you, as long as I personally see to it that Jay gets his karma." Harry's eyes took on a bit of insanity, and a rather wild craze. Nothing I wasn't used to with this loose canon.
"I agree, we'll do it on our own. Also, I want to make sure Mal pays.. I'm a nice guy but you're my little sister and she hurt you. She's going to pay." Gil had a certain determination to his words, I smiled. He was so sweet and he was my "older" brother. But like everyone from the Isle, he had an unhinged side as well. Nobody sees it that often, the times I have seen it.. let's just say I prefer this Gil better.
"Thank you.. I hope the crew understands. I'm making my address later today or tomorrow." I responded they both nodded, I ran my hand through Harry's hair and he leaned into it, sighing in absolute bliss. I've always had this effect on him, and I loved every minute of it.
Not leaving Gil out, I hugged him and he hugged me back with all his godlike strength which almost took me out of this world.
"Can't- breath-" I choked trying to get some oxygen into my lungs, he laughed and let go. Harry was playing with my braids and we all just talked.. like old times.
I mean we had time to make new memories, I was only 16, Gil was 17 along with Harry.
"Well boys, don't worry.. soon and I mean very soon. We'll have our chance. It'll be their biggest regret." I smiled at Harry and Gil,
"Group hug!"
"Gil I-"
"What are you a puffer fish?"
"I just wanted to hug you guys-"
"Fine, come here you land lover."
We all hugged each other and vowed from that day on, we would be the fearsome trio.
Everyone in Auradon would fear us, because we were an unbreakable force.
