The Queen and Her King

Goodnight

Harry very quickly brought himself back down and slowly backed away from Ben to look at everyone else around. Harriet, CJ, and Uma were all particularly in shock at the rage he displayed in defense of Brielle. They hadn't known her for the longest, but they for sure didn't expect Harry and Brielle to be the couple they are.

The Hook sisters remembered Harry as the rather snappy, harsh, plain mean sometimes, a slightly deranged pirate that instilled fear in many on the Isle for even looking at him wrong. Uma remembered him as the loud and slightly obnoxious ex-first mate of hers. But this Harry, they all saw a very different picture than they hadn't seen before. At that moment where he passionately defended Brielle, they saw the loyalty and the unconditional love, and that was something they never thought they'd see in him,

"... Mal, she has tried so much ta help ya, and yet ye seem ta take her words and throw em out as soon as ya deem them irrelevant. For someone who treasures every word that that woman speaks I'm HIGHLY offended. Maybe if ya listened to her for once instead of letting silly fear and paranoia rule yer thought process we wouldn't be in this mess!"

Harriet and CJ quickly walked up to Harry and pulled him back some to have a cooldown, there were others who wished to speak after all. Evie slowly walked forward to Mal with tears in her eyes. Mal walked forward to Evie with a pleading smile,

"You g-guys I didn't mean to d-do any harm I promise y-you... I j-just don't w-want to l-let a-anyone down... Evie"

She said while she was simply looking for some sort of guidance, for she felt lost in the moment. Mal looked to her best friend for something, anything. Advice, support maybe, Mal just wanted something. Evie let the tears begin to fall onto her cheeks and slowly began shaking her head,

"All of those kids that instilled so much hope in you... some even put more faith in you getting them off the Isle than the royals themselves and yet you're the reason they could be trapped there... how could y-you?"

Evie said with a broken voice, something that made Mal realize how much she had messed up. Mal tried to go to her friend, but Evie kept backing away from her,

"E-Evie... you guys I-I-"

"Save it, Mal"

Jay said with a very disappointed tone, cutting Mal's pleas off. Carlos slowly shook his head in disapproval, but suddenly Harry felt a sort of terrible feeling arise in his chest. He took a quick breath and looked after where Brielle had run off, and he couldn't resist any longer. He walked right through the group and followed her very footsteps,

"Harry where are you going?"

Harriet shouted at him, CJ sighed and went running after him as they both believed the Queen needed a long cooldown and he shouldn't go after her just yet. But Harry felt otherwise, if she wanted alone time to process then Harry would like Brielle to do it while she was at least in his line of sight,

"I'm going ta find Brielle, no one follow me"

That was all Harry said before continuing on. In his heart, he truly had a sense of uneasiness that Brielle had run off on her own and hadn't said where she was going, but she mentioned going back to Auradon Prep. Therefore that's the first place Harry was going to look, once he was deeper into the woods, he began calling out to Brielle, asking her to come out and talk to him.

But Harry never got an answer.

Right after Harry was out of sight as well, Celia took action to get revenge on Mal for what she did. Celia walked up to Mal and began to cry on the spot even after Uma had taken time to console her as best as she could,

"You know I thought you were brave, I sided with you because I thought it was right to trust a fellow villain kid. Turns out I was wrong, you're just a chicken, too much of a chicken to tell me that you wanted to take away the option for me to go see my dad ever again!"
