Uma

We managed to sneak through the front door of the school, the space seemed eerie. Creepy even,

"Let's split up, maybe we'll cover more ground." stated Evie as she took Carlos and Jay with her.

All that was left was Mal and I,

"I'm not going to magically ignore the torture you put me through." Mal stared at me as if she was lost in her own little world.

My annoyance was at an all time high, I stomped in front of her and snapped my fingers rather harshly.

"Earth to Princess, wake up." Mal, as if broken out of a spell began to blink rapidly,

"I miss Ben," she whispered as her eyes set ablaze.

"I'm going to kill Melody." she threatened as I scoffed, and had to hide my laugh.

"Yeah, sorry you lost beasty boy but if you haven't noticed. I lost my crew and my two best friends. So get your head out of your ass!" I yelled as Mal smirked,

"You even lost your crew, how pathetic are you exactly? What are you good for?" Mal pushed me against a wall, watching me face her eye to eye. Yet somehow I still squirmed like a worm.

"Let's face it, you're all talk. I know you're scared of me. You always have been." She whispered in my ear with a dark chuckle, I pushed away from her.

"Don't talk down on me, I'm not the same person. I will hurt you and feel no remorse." I replied as she smiled, my stature changed after that.

"Lets go find my boys." I stared coldly as Mal happily led the way towards Ben's office,

On our way to the office we saw my crew,

"Ah shit." I muttered as I grabbed Mal and ducked,

"Scared of your own crew?" I quirked my eyebrow even when facing challenges she managed to be sarcastic, I hated her.

"No, we've got to take them out. I'll do it, because if you hurt my crew, Mal. It's over." she nodded soundly as I stood up and rolled over to stand in front of my crew.

"Well, well. Look what we have here, a band of wannabes." I stated as Desiree and Jonas turned around first. They must've been the heads of the pirates right now, the rest of my giant ass crew then turned around as well.

"Welcome to your hell on earth, Uma." I couldn't take Desiree serious at that moment,

"Show me what you got short stop. I know you want to fight." I offered as Desiree and the rest of my crew drew their swords,

"And your weapon?" asked a confused Jonas as I shook my head and readied myself, Mal looked on mad as ever.

She always wants the spotlight on her, what the fuck.

Jonas ran at me as I tripped him, I grabbed his shoulder and flung him into the wall, while doing so I grabbed his sword.

"Jonas!" yelled Desiree as I flung the sword into another crew member, they ended up getting pinned to the wall.

Desiree began to swing at me wildly, she was clearly mad and forgot what I taught her.

Never fight with your emotions, unless you're Harry who can be as insane as the joker yet still fight like a professional.

No matter how mad he was,

"Stop Desiree!" I commanded as she swung at my side, I was momentarily distracted as she swung again. I held my side as blood started to drip,

"Damn it." I whispered to myself as she kept coming at me furiously,

"This is for everything! All those years of torture! And never asking us, how we felt!" she yelled as I blinked back tears,

"Wait what-" I was caught off by a stabbing sound, I slowly looked down and saw that Desiree had stabbed side once again but deeper, I looked into her eyes and saw no remorse.

Stupid Melody,

"Uma!" yelled Mal as I staggered back,

"Use your powers!" she yelled as I slowly shook my head, I couldn't tell if it was a slow shake or a fast one, blood loss sucks ass.

"Hang in there!" she yelled as her glowed green, she focused her magic into her palms and with a wretched yell she blasted my whole crew into various walls, they fell unconscious soon after.

I stumbled as Mal swung my arm over her shoulder,

"We have to keep moving, I can't heal you like this. My spell book has a healing spell that can." she explained as I blinked and nodded.

My dad never taught me how to heal myself,

"Was she right?"

"Was who right?"

"Desiree."

I sighed,

"I always asked their opinion on things, but I just didn't care. I was so caught up with myself and what I wanted that I was being a selfish captain,"

"I refuse to do that again, I'll be the greatest captain anyone has ever seen, I'll appreciate them more. I'll show them I care, and I'll take care of them. They're my family." I stated as Mal took us upstairs,

"You don't know what you have until it's gone."

"Trust me, I know. Not having-" I paused as Mal stopped and stared at me,

"Why am I even sharing this with you?" I asked out loud she stared at me as if thinking the same thing.

"Maybe this is slight progress."

"Not in your living hell." I replied as she smiled, I let out a small smile too.

I did miss the old times where we used to hang out and not have a care in the world, yet here I was.

With my former best friend, treating her like a stranger. She was cut out for a reason but that doesn't mean I don't miss her occasionally.

Whether she felt the same, I don't know.

We continued to walk as my vision blurred in and out, the blood kept rushing out as if it was trying to clot but it wasn't.

"Uma, please." Mal begged as we finally made it to Melody's domain, Mal didn't even wait before she stormed in.

Harry was leaning against a wall, Ben was kissing Melody now, something Mal didn't like seeing.

"I'll kill you!" she yelled as she rushed off, I stumbled and  fell face first into the carpet.

"I see my crew did damage you, Uma. Not so mighty now are you?" she taunted me as she blocked all of Mal's attacks,

"You're so pathetic, weak even." she announced as Mal was choked into a wall by Ben,

"Stop.. please! Stop!" I tried yelling but it came out hoarsely,

"My, my love. You're just a squirmy little worm." Harry stood beside Melody as she rolled her eyes, she clearly didn't know how to handle him.

"Uma!" yelled Mal as her breathing became more rapid and she struggled to even talk.

"Mal!" I yelled as I struggled to get up, before I could, I felt a weight on my back.

I screamed as my side bled out even more,

"That's right, scream. That's the only hope you have left."

I didn't cry, my screaming subsided soon, and Mal was still fighting for air.

But I wouldn't give up,

I closed my eyes and before anyone could breath another 3 people rushed in,

Jay, Evie and Carlos, right on time.

"Did you miss us?"
