Daughter of Hades (Harry Hook X Reader)

Chapter 51: Fathers

Harry hummed while gathering the trash that was scattered on the ship's deck. After last night's little party, the crew had set aside a time in their weekend to clean the ship and plan where their first-ever voyage would be after exams. So far, they're leaning towards the other islands of Neverland.

Loud murmurs grabbed the young pirate's attention. He glanced over the ship to see a crowd gather on the docks. He opened his mouth to ask what was happening, only to freeze when he heard the booming voice that haunted him.

"Harry! My boy!" Captain James Hook called out to his son.

Harry could sense his fellow crewmates freeze at the sound of his father's voice. He could feel them send him concerned gazes. Uma and Gil dropped whatever it was that they were doing to stand by their best friend's side. All of them know that Harry hasn't seen his father from the moment the crew was formed.

He was one of the few that had moved into the ship in order to get away from the villain. Sure, he and his sisters may admire the man for what he had accomplished as a pirate back in his youth, and he may still carry around his own hook as a way to feel closer to his roots, but he still despises his father for everything he has done to him and his sisters. So seeing the man standing just a few feet away from the ship that he calls home, grinning widely at him like it was just a regular father-and-son meet up, sent warning alarms in every fiber that was Harry's being. Especially when he noticed the flask of rum that was in his father's hand.

"What do ye want?" Harry hoped that his harsh tone would get his father to stop walking over to the ship. Unfortunately, nothing can stop James Hook from going onto a ship.

"Can't a father just visit his son?" The man smiled while opening his arms out wide. Harry gripped the bag of trash he was holding tighter. "Plus, I want to see how this old beauty turned out"

Uma noticed the tight scowl that plastered her friend's face. She placed a hand on his shoulder, telling him to relax, and took a step forward. She forced a smile.

"Well then," She forced a smile. "Allow me to show you around"

The older pirate smiled back at her. Uma left her friend's side, exchanging a glance to Gil - who immediately understood what she was trying to say - and she led the other captain away. Gil turned to Harry, grabbing the bag of trash out of his hand and giving it to Bonnie. He then patted Harry's shoulder while leading him back to his room to cool down. Harry shoved his friend's touch away as a sign that told everyone that he was no longer in the best of moods. A visit from his father just had to bring the worst of him out.

Maleficent's castle was surely something else. A polar opposite from all of the castles you have seen. There were statues of gargoyles with nasty expressions that you've only known the twins to make, paintings of Maleficent and Mal from over the years covered some hallways, along with paintings of some gothic scenery, and a few executioner weapons decorated the building. It was an interesting sight to behold. But of course, what you've described was just Maleficent's wing of the castle. The core four parents' have apparently decided to live together and each have their own separate wings in which they reside.

Currently, you, Evie, and Mal were doing your homework in Mal's bedroom. Your half-sister had invited you to show you around and officially meet her mother. Maleficent wasn't entirely impressed by you. She only glanced at you before scoffing and vanishing to do whatever it was she needed to do. Mal had apologized for her mother's behavior, but you honestly couldn't care. You weren't that impressed by the Mistress of Evil either. It was probably because she was dressed in sweats and was in the process of putting on a face mask with Evie's mother.
