Chapter 37

" Wow! Rookie mistake?" Jay says. 

" Long time no see." Harry says. .

"Get off my bike, Hook." Jay says

"Catch me if you can, Jay." Harry says

"Evie Carlos Jay.  Over the roofs.  Cut them off."
Mal said.

Hooks laugh could be heard as he went down the street.

"Let's go." I tell Mal.

We started going down the street to the cave I called home for a long time. When we made it to the gate I grabbed the key from around my neck.

"Hey. How big is that dog?" Mal asked.

"You'll see." I say.

She didn't say anything as I bypassed the bike to come to the actual area.

"Okay, stay quiet. It echoes, like, crazy in here." I tell her.

The sound of 500 sounds of Cerberus record dad owns plays adds to the creepy feeling of sneaking into my own home.

"Come on follow me." I say.

We made it the the big room. And I started sneaking around. And Mal hit the record player. Making the disk slip. And wake dad.

"Who's there?" He asked.

"Is it a crime for a child to visit her parent?" I ask

Mal snuck to grab the ember and he caught her darn it.

"If there theft it's a crime." He says.

"Hi, Dad." Mal said.

"Quite a show you put on the other day." She says breaking the ice.

"Right back at you." He says.

" I was just coming to see Quinn." He says.

"No you weren't that was the you that you said I kept you from." He says.

"Or did it have to do with the fact Quinn is going to be the queen?" Mal asked.

"Now, Mal, don't be bitter." Dad said.

"You abandoned me when I was a baby." Mal said.

So that's what our mother always said.

"No. No, I left your mother. She's not the easiest person to get along with. Plus she wanted to hurt Quinn." Dad says.

"No she didn't." Mal says.

I scoff.

"See we have something in common already We both hate your mother.." Dad said.

"No argument from me." I say.

"No. I don't hate my mother. She may be an evil lunatic, but at least she stuck around.." Mal said.

Oh! Boo-hoo. Wake up and smell the stink.
You think you've had it rough? I used to be a god! I had an entire world which bore my name.
And now I have nothing! And you have no idea
what that feels like." Dad complained.

"You had me do I not count." I say tears want to fall down my face again.

"Really? Because for 16 years, I had nothing. Now I have something. Even my twin sister back." Mal says.

I couldn't stand listening to this anymore. I thought this would be easy in and out. But apparently my dad doesn't care about me anymore so I went outside to wait.

"Why did I have to get irritated with Ben this morning eveything would be better if I didn't." I say.

"I got the ember." Mal says a few minutes later.

"Oh goody." I say.

"Let's get you home to your adoptive parents shall we?" Mal asked.

"Yeah all though I think bell and Adam are mad at me though." I say.

"Why?" She asked. As we walked to find everyone else.

"Well they wanted to close the barrier forever and i protested against it." I say.

"Wow Quinn is that why you mad Ben had it out before you came over?" She asked.

"No i was mad from the meeting but he wanted to talk to me about it and I couldn't do it right then." I say.

We found Jay Evie and Carlos at the bridges

"Alright let's get out of here." I says.

The barrier opened and we walked out.
Mals hair turned more purplish blue at the ends.

" You got a little Hades thing going." Evie pointed out.

She's the magic child what specialty from my parents. The only thing the ability to be a dragon.

"That thing packs a punch, huh?" I asked.

"Yeah." Mal say as my two old friends came and jumped through the barrier.

We all gasped at the sight before us.

" We made it, bro.  We made it."the two of them cheered.

"Hey, guys. We're just coming for  a wee visit." Harry said.

Harry went for the ember.

"Come on now stop." I say before.

Mal dropped it.

A laugh that started to come out.

"Drop something?"  The voice asked. And of course it was Uma.

"It can't get wet. Give it back before it goes out." I say.

"Uma?" Harry asked.

"Uma?" Gil asked.

"That's my name." Uma said before dipping into the water.

"No!" Mal and I both shout.

" Hi, boys." She said appearing in her non octo form.

" Welcome back." Harry said.

"Uma, you swam off and forgot all about us." Gil said.

"Yeah. Planning her revenge, no doubt." Mal said.

"It's not all about you, Mal. I was looking for a hole
in the barrier to let everybody out. And you know what I found, boys? It's way better out there than we thought. There's this thing that looks like a furry rock called a coconut And fish so big you could dance on their backs. And they've been keeping it all for themselves." Uma said.

"Whatever. Uma, I need that to break a spell." Mal says.

"Cast by Audrey, Sleeping Beauty's daughter." I follow up with.

"Mm. So the good guy is the bad guy?" Harry asked.

"Well, I might not give it back. Let's see what happens." Uma says.

"Uma, it's not the time for games! People's lives are in danger!" I say.

"Guarantee me that every single villain kid who wants to, can get off the isle." She said.

"Ben and I where planning it we just have to slowly work on it." I say.

"She can't do that." Mal says.

"Well, how about now?" Uma says hanging dads ember over.

"Fine she can." Mal said.

"Since when does my sister speak for me?" I ask.

"I'm sorry I still don't trust her." Mal said. .

"Her word is good." Evie said.

"I'll still keep this for the time being. Because if you think I trust you five to save the world on your own, think again." Uma said.

"We can always go back to hating each other when this is over." Evie said.

"Fine." Mal agreed.

"Where are our bikes?" Jay asked.

" Oh, yeah. We crashed them." Gil said.

Hook acted out how they crashed them.

" Here's a thought. We could try to be friends. Uma Harry Gil and used to be before she stole my fiancé from me." I say.

"It seemed it worked out alright anyway." Uma said.

"Yeah let's put our history behind us and celebrate our differences." Evie said.

"Yeah?" I agree

"Who wants gum?" Evie asked.

No one said anything.

" Let's go." Mal said.

" No?" Uma said.

"Ah... No. I'm in charge. Let's go.." Uma said.

I keep my mouth shut. The last thing I want is to be in the middle of there mess.
