Queen (Harry Hook x Reader~Descendants~)

Chapter 12

In a shocked hurry, you immediately sprinted home, climbing up the fire escape at the side of your house as soon as you arrived. You used your open bedroom window as a stepping stool allowing you to pull yourself up onto the roof to get a better view. By now, the bridge had disappeared and you were searching for some sort of change in the Isle, perhaps a suspicious person or vehicle. Anything to explain what you had just seen. You stood surveying for a short amount of time before getting frustrated by the lack of anything noteworthy and going inside. 

"Is that you Y/N?" Your mother screamed from her bedroom across the hallway as you tripped over your bedroom window on your way in.

"Yeah!" You shouted back, making your way towards your mother's room. "I'm home." You announced as you swung her bedroom door open.

"I can see that." She was sat up in her bed, playing solitaire and drinking tea. 

"Can I join?" You asked her.

"It's solitaire sweetheart, a single player game." She told you, clearly getting frustrated by the game and aggressively throwing the pack of cards at the wall.

"But we can play a different game." You began to regather the cards for her. "Go fish, blackjack, poker, gin rummy... we haven't played each other in ages." When growing up, your mother loved to teach you how to play all of her favourite card games. You were a natural, so she wouldn't have to deal with the annoyance of you being unable to understand anything. As well as that, your fear of her outbursts caused you to always let her win. As you grew older situations changed and people were lost, and soon your mother became even more distant. She never asked you to play anymore. 

She looked at you in hesitation, before showing a a small smile and taking the pack of cards from you, beginning to shuffle them. "Go fish it is."

The following morning you were awoken by a large rock being thrown through your window. You sat up and stared at it for a moment before marching over to the broken window, avoiding the glass shards that painted your bedroom floor, and opening it to see who it was. Ginny and Anthony stood across the street, Ginny clearly having thrown the rock. "Yo Y/N!" Ginny yelled at you with her hands clasped over her mouth.

"Use the door next time!" You shouted back, picking the rock up and tossing it back out the window. "What's up?"

"Get down here!" Anthony ordered.

"Put some clothes on first!" Ginny added.

"Thanks for the advice!" You gave a sarcastic nod before walking to your closet and pulling out a pair of ripped jeans and a top and shoving it on along with boots, your jacket and your favourite crown. "Bye!" You yelled towards your mother's bedroom before running down the stairs and slamming the door behind yourself.

"Took you long enough." Anthony remarked as you approached him and Ginny. You could tell by the way Ginny was suddenly examining her body that he had just given her a whole new list of reasons she looked 'ugly' today, despite the fact that she was the prettiest girl you knew. You simply brushed it off though, she was always utterly obsessed with her looks.

"What's so important?" You asked, adjusting the crown on your head.

"We think there are some Auradon people here." Ginny explained, looking back up. 

"Holy shit yeah!" You remembered. "I saw the bridge form last night."

"And you didn't tell us?"

"I was tired," you brushed off, "if you didn't know about the bridge; what else happened?"

"Rumours," Anthony shrugged, "there's some weird feeling of impending goodness. It makes me feel sick."
