IX

A win for the pumpkin princess

- swearing -

Laughing down the streets, they took their final destination at Uma's fish and chips. A celebration for Judith, and sorta for Uma. even as they would have to work, it didn't mean they couldn't slip in a few drinks! Armless Judith of course.

    But nevertheless..

Judith felt good. Just good. Taking a sudden stop before entering, only Harry noticed, stopping and gazing at her.
"You alright?" He asked, but Judith pushed him away. Nodding with a gleeful smile, "yeah yeah! You go on inside, I'll be there in a sec" she sighed deeply,

He listened. Nodding.. and leaving Judith outside. Who ran her hands through the locks of her blonde hair which would turn whiter and whiter as days pass. "Don't pretend I don't know you're not there" the pumpkin princess huffed, spinning around on her feet. Roman perched on her shoulder, squawking as the figure approached.

Tall and slender, wearing nothing but black except the violet lipstick.. and the green orb on her sceptre. Unusable. "Darling! You seem to have caught me," cackling like a witch. She was none other than mals mother. The one who threw Judith off in times of her speech..,

   "I know a hag when I see one" Judith spat.
God. The girl must've looked like a crazy person with her one hand left which gripped onto the one she tore.

Maleficent stepped even closer, made Judith only uncomfortable as she felt.. simply cornered. She wasn't afraid. - "you have some nerves speaking to me! Like that. Watch your tongue. Because soon you won't have one when my daughter returns"

  "What if she doesn't. What if she's tempted by the goodness on auradon?" Judith shrugged. Just leave me alone please! ~

"You don't know my daughter"
  "I don't. But You don't know auradon"

The fact Judith was arguing with a powerful woman like maleficent was something. Well.. powerless.
  "Whatever you sayy... You will never be a villain. You are nothing, you don't exist in this story" 

The girls cheek burned, it stuck like wildfire.. that she stumbled on her feet.. her head even thrown to the side, as she looked down on the floor. Licking her lips with a smirk on her face,
   "my goal wasn't to be a villain. I don't need to be a villain to be evil. and maybe I am nothing. But for god sake, my dad is something more then any of you sick bastards"

She lifted her head back up, eyes burning into maleficents. "It's not my fault.. that the isle knows shit of my family. Allll because you got thrown on an island. With nothing!!" Judith wasn't even done.

"Me? I have everything 'darling' . Striking fear! Is my thing! Creating shock is my kink - whatever you wanna believe ." It turned into a mere rant, a crazy persons rant. Judiths rant. Or vent.

She wasn't scared. During childhood, there was phases were she was scared of the true monster. Herself. She could be bizarre and wild unlike anyone else in Halloween town. Why could she detach her limbs.. why was she looked down upon - regardless. things got boring.

  And As much as she loved her dad, she could see why he got bored of the same thing. Over and over again and again. Auradon was a break but yet prison, and so was the isle..

"When I get that wand. You, Uma and your own turf will have nothing. I will. Kill you. I will make you suffer in every way possible ."

Those was maleficents final words to Judith.
  A battle that Judith won, and it felt Great! the pumpkin princess smile faded though , taking a breath before heading inside and sending Roman home.

It was Harry who came to her side, "you're not okay are ya?" It made her laugh, shaking her head.

"I'll be fine Harry . You heard it though. Didn't you?"

He couldn't be bothered to lie, not after what he listened to; so he nodded. at that moment, he believed what he did was weak. It would be so fun to lie and laugh at Judith's misery, any other person on the isle would be fine to laugh at. But not her.

His usual smirk, non existent, and a hand on her shoulder. Harry didn't think, didn't care about Uma . "Yer will always be somethin' else to me Judith, not nothin pumpkin" . Her heart skipped a beat, it was sappy.

But yet made her feel something that she hadn't felt before. Because Harry, actually cared. His hand ran down her only arm left, grabbing her wrist with great hesitation. The touch intoxicating.. soft.. and surprisingly gentle coming from him. "Come, lets get yer arm stitched up before we celebrate!"

"Oh. Sure," she forget she was clutching it tight.

Sitting down on the bar stool, where the others stood waiting. Tensions would've been high between Uma and Judith if this day never happened, now it was just low tension.. "I hear you had a rumble with mals mom" Harley leaned forward, curious .

Judith opened her mouth to speak, immediately cut off as she watched Harley being nudged by Uma. "Shush Harley, later. Not now" . As her hands began to struggle with the stitches. 

It certainly wasn't tight, or at least right. however. Judith struggle to speak, she just watched with empty cold eyes.
Maybe overthinking the whole Maleficent gig.. too much that she couldn't hear Harry trying to snap her out of it.

"Hi" Judith muttered, noticing that Uma finished. She was so out of it, that it had been over 15 minutes since she last said a word, Uma had finished and began to serve out plates of food to her pirate customers before they could celebrate. Meanwhile; Harley and Gil arm wrestled over in the corner .

And lastly, Harry hook sat beside her. admiring her, smirking at her. "Yer back pumpkin?".  Judith began to stutter, hushed by the notorious pirate.
"I dont blame you if yer are scared. I would be too"

He sighed, Softly. "But look at ya Judith! The pumpkin princess standin' up for Maleficent. mal ain't got ought"

But look at her. Judith now had everything amongst the madness, she would've made her dad proud..

She jumped up, taking in Harry's words as she poured herself a drink and re filled his. "You're right.. Thank you" leaning in, and hugging Harry Hook.
