THE VK'S HAD LED US TO where they used to live . Jay picked up a rock and threw it at a sign that read 'BEWARE flying rocks' and a gate opened up. Ben went to the doorway and looked back at us. "Wish me luck." We all gave him all a nod before he went up the stairs.
"So, what was that about?" I question the group and everyone looks at each other before overlapping their words
"What? What're you talking about L-Love?"
"Huh? That? Oh nothing"
"No clue."
"Pshh! A minor mishap."
My eyes widen and bounce between all four of them "Yeah, get to talking. And do it now." I say sternly, Jay flinches back slowly before sighing and placing his hands on the corner of his knees
"Gil is one of Uma's goons. Short answer, we don't get along very well. So if Ben could come down with Mal so we can go home all will be better." Jay informs and I nod.
A while later, Ben came down the stairs with no Mal by his side. "Where is Mal?" I asked curiously, wondering why the new blonde was nowhere near Ben. Ben bit his lip before he responded.
"She's not coming back." Ben said with a frown plastered across his lip. Evie and Gia shook their heads and said they would talk to her, Ben walked off. I bit my inner cheek, glancing to my boyfriend who was watching Evie run up the stairs with a puzzled expression. I groaned and turned on my heels.
"Ben! Ben, slow down! These Heels aren't easy to run in!" I called as I took a break from running and placed her hands on her knees. "Geez, who knew a prince could have some actual speed." I sigh before chasing after him again.
I finally catch up to Ben in a dark alley where I can barely see him "Uh sir , may I throw the reminder into your dumb wittle mind that — WE DO NOT KNOW THE ISLE!" I shout at Ben and he widens his eyes in fear "I'm sorry! I just couldn't stand there. The girl I love just—" Ben stopped talking as he was dragged out of the way and I take a step back "Ben?" I question
Silence, "Ben!" I call out again, nothing. I feel an arm wrapped around my neck . I instantly flip the person over on their back and see a lousy pirate "What the hell is wrong with you?!" I shout. The pirate stands back up and I get in a fighting stance.
Said pirate lunges at me and I punch him in the chest before swiping my foot under his legs causing him to end back up on the ground. I get pulled in by my throat by another body , I try and flip them over as well but failed "Can't do that to me, doll." A thick accent rang in my ear as a gag was placed over my mouth and nose.
I struggle and kick before I slowly become unconscious, but I hear the person say "What a catch." And pick me up bridal style, Before I completely knocked out.

Jay's pov:
I GRAB GIA AND EVIE'S ARMS and pull them towards me "Lets give her a couple hours to cool off." I advise and Evie nods right away while Gia reluctantly groans and crosses her arms before giving me a small nod and I pat her shoulder
"Guys!" Carlos calls , and we all snapped our heads towards him "Where's Ben and Eva?" He questioned worriedly and I walk around with my eyebrows furrowed together in confusion "Ben!" Evie called out "Eva?" I looked down the alleyway "Evangeline!" I shout with worry "Evangeline Di'Maldonia, this isn't funny!" Gia fake laughs nervously
We all see a figure start walking down the isle and we simultaneously let out sighs of relief "Ben, don't scare us like that." Evie sighed "Don't scare you? But that's my specialty." Harry responded with a sinister smirk. With Eva in his arms — limp.
My eyes widen before settling with anger I didn't even know I could have "Harry." Gia breathed out with narrowed eyes. Carlos looked at me, with knowing eyes "What the hell did you do to my girlfriend and Ben?" I asked coldly
Harry clicked his tongue and kicked dirt up with his right foot. "Oh, the King, we, uh, we nicked him. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And if you want to see him again, have Mal come to the Chip Shoppe tonight. Alone. Uma and Marina want a little visit." Harry told us. Harry proceeded to look down at Eva then back at me. "Aw, Jay. Seems like you've lost your touch. Maybe it's because your little Princess is knocked out cold. Strange sight, ain't it?"
I lunged at Harry and Gia and Carlos both grabbed me to hold me back, from probably killing Harry shook "You hurt her and I swear to god hook." I warn through gritted teeth and Carlos shook his head at me before turning to hook "Let Evangeline go, and you don't get hurt, Alright?" Carlos bargained with a cold expression
"Hey!" Harry barked at Carlos. Carlos looked at Harry with a disgust and concern "Keep your dog on a leash and this precious doll doesn't get harmed." Harry sent us a wink before turning around and sauntering off with a knocked out Evangeline in his arms.
I push Carlos away and start pacing back and forth "Jay, calm down." Carlos advised and I turned to him angrily "Calm down? I just let my girlfriend — wander off into a dark Alley — and get kidnapped by Hook! Calm down?!" I shouted "I get that but you shouting and pacing isn't gonna help Ben or Eva." He reminded and I took a deep breath
"We're getting Mal." I spoke launching a rock at the sign and the gate opened up, "What happened to giving her a few hours?" Evie asked "Yeah, well, fuck that."

Evangeline's pov:
I FLUTTERED MY EYES OPEN to take in my surroundings. I'm in some shop, that has the worst food I could possibly imagine. I go to rub my blurry vision but soon come to the realization I'm tied to a pillar and that the son of Gaston is way too close to my face "Dude, back up." I groaned pulling my face back. "You're the one tied up. You have to listen to me!" Gil said cockily and I tilted my head to the side before flinching at him slightly and he dramatically jumps back "Or maybe not." He said defeatedly . "Uma! Harry! She's awake!" He called out running away
Harry, Uma , and Marina — Daughter of Ursula and Daughter of Morgana, appear out of thin air, And they looked like legitimate pirates, and the hook in his hand tells me that he really is Captain Hook's son. Uma , Marina, and Harry all smirked as they stalked over to me and I try tugging at the rope hung above my head
"So you're the princess? Little miss royal advisor ?" Uma clarifies "Yes. And it's princess Evangeline to you." I spat at her and she laughed in amusement. "Oh you're a feisty one." Marina giggled "Daughter of Tiana and Naveen? Right?" I only nod.
"Those are two royals I can get behind." Uma patted my cheek and I moved my face away "What's your plan girls? Are you jealous because you didn't get picked? I mean I see why, you're a bunch of brats." I smiled and got kicked in my back "Ah!" I groan shutting my eyes in pain "Let's get one thing straight princess, we ask the questions, we give the answers. You sit there and look pretty while I handle things. Alright?" She stared at me with hooded eyes "Oh , go to hell." I seethed and the psycho laughs as she sashed away "Boys, do what you please." Uma called out from over her shoulder and two guys start touching all on my body
"Absolutely not." I mumble before creating a shield around my body. The pirates stare at me in shock , because magic usually doesn't work on the isle. And how it's working now is a mystery to me.
The pirates start banging on my shield , and honestly — I don't know how much longer I can keep this up. "Please hurry , Mal."
———
THE SHIELD AROUND ME began to slowly falter, flickering. "Let the damn shield down, we know you want to." One of Uma's pirates said lowly "Not... a chance." I sighed tiredly, looking up at them with a grin . I heard the door swing open before hearing a familiar voice "I'm back." Mal drawled out, gaining my attention.
I look up at the door and try yanking on the ropes again "Mal!" I called out, trying to fortify my field "Loser, party of one. Right this way, please." Uma said, directing Mal to a table in front of her. Uma kicked the chair out from under the table and Mal caught it then sat in it. "Place still stinks." Mal commented.
"Oh, I'm sorry, we're down a butler today princess." Marina told her. "Where is he?" Mal asked, leaning in closer to Uma. "And why is she tied up?" Mal questioned looking from Uma to me
"You know I've dreamed of this." Uma ripped the apron off of herself. "You wanting something from me, and me watching you squirm like a worm on a hook."
"I'm so flattered that you dream of me. I haven't given you two a second thought since I left." Mal said monotonically, earning a snicker from my lips , and another kick and punch to my force field "Jeez , you guys, are one cranky bunch." I sigh out of breath
"Obviously. You have your perfect little life, don't you?" Uma asked before turning, "Doesn't she have the perfect little life?" Customers and employees made sounds of agreement. Uma turned back to Mal. "While we're twenty years into a garbage dump."
"Listen, if you have some kind of score to settle with me, game on. I see no need to bring Ben or Eva into this." Mal told her. Uma
laughed aloud. "It may be a little unnecessary, but oh it is so much fun," Uma chuckled,
"Here's the deal -" "Just like your mother, always a catch." Mal cut her off . Uma sat in front of her and brought her hand up, challenging her to an arm wrestle. "If you win, Ben and Eva are free to go. Although good luck getting Eva out of here, I don't think my pirates want her to ever leave." Mal furrowed her brows and her nostrils flared as she brought her hand up. "Don't you wanna know what I get if I win?" Uma asked false innocently.
"Still dreaming." Mal replied. They grasped hands. "Last time I checked, your mother thought that she had things all sewn up too, huh? How'd that work out for her again?" Uma asked. "On three." Mal told her.
"One..." Uma started.
"Two..." Mal continued.
"Three.." The girls said in unison. It was fifty-fifty for a while before they started to run their gums like mine and Ben's life wasn't at stake here. "You know, that whole princess act, ugh, never bought it for a second. You can stick a tiara on a villain, but you're still a villain." Uma said.
"And you can slap a pirate hat on, but you're still Shrimpy." Mal retorted back with a fake gasp. I perked up in interest as Uma almost lost her focus and began to fall behind. Marinas eyes perked up and she leaned in closer towards Mal placing her hands on her shoulder and smirked. "If she wins, you bring us the wand."
"C'mon Mal , please." I whisper quietly to myself.
Uma took the opportunity seeing that Mal lost her focus and slammed her hand down in victory. Customers in the restaurant cheered for Uma, who was laughing in victory.
"Now if you want Beastie Boy and Miss Froggy back, bring me Fairy Godmother's wand to my ship tomorrow at noon. Sharp." Uma said, going to walk away before she stopped. She turned her head towards me and we locked eyes, before she turned around and looked back at Mal . "Oh, and if you blab, you can kiss your baby goodbye. And by the looks of it, Eva's shield isn't gonna last to much longer, I wonder what'll happen then?" Marina told Mal with a smirk, blowing her kiss then walking away towards the back of the shop high-Fiving Uma half way
Mal looks at me worriedly "I'm strong, I got it." I assure her in anything above a hear-able tone, Mal nods before running out of the shop and I sigh, don't bring the wand.
