Cold Hearted

Ellie

Third Person

Evie and Mal made light of the situation by making a few light-hearted jokes as they walked back to the hideout with their five smoke bombs in hand. They tried to joke, but the two of them were far too worried to think about too many jokes right now. They were worried for Ben, but they were more worried about Elena. For they were worried that because there is no trade available for her safe return, trying to simply kidnap her back was really weighing heavy on their mind,

"M, how do you think Elle is doing?"

Evie asked after a few moments of silence. Mal took a long sigh and slowly shook her head as she wondered and pondered how their dear friend is doing in the clutches of who they thought was a maniacal psychopath,

"I think... I think she's doing... gods E I dunno. Maybe she's somehow been able to fight off Hook long enough to let us rescue her before he... does anything bad to her. If she hasn't... then poor poor girl..."

Mal muttered with a pained voice. Evie sighed and slowly shook her head. She looked at Mal with saddened eyes,

"Do you... really think Harry would... you know... hurt her?"

Evie said with a shaky voice. Mal looked up into the foggy dark sky as that was a genuine question, she wished she didn't even have to think it but it was a concern. She was worried Harry would do something terrible to her, something that would ultimately scar her for life,

"Honestly E... we can only hope Hook has a little more heart than that to not hurt an innocent girl"

Was all Mal said, Evie shuddered a little and nervously rubbed her arms. Mal looked over to her friend and simply put one of her arms around her friends' shoulders to support her a little bit. Evie looked over at her with a sad smile before looking ahead again and continuing forward to the hideout. Both the girls hoped that Ben and Elena would be unharmed, they both wished the boys would hurry back as soon as possible, and they both hoped they could pull this off without anyone getting hurt.

-The Next Day-

Harry quietly readjusted Elena's jacket that he had hung on part of the cell before looking over to her. Today was the day he was waiting for, all the pirates were waiting for. Today, the King would be their ticket to freedom, and Harry could finally go free from every person who's been holding him back. He planned to run away as soon as he could, to a land of greater opportunity, far far away from his father and his wicked captain.

Harry slowly crouched down in front of Elena's sleeping self and stared at her for a moment, she was facing him and had a natural smile spread on her lips even in her sleeping state, her smile made him smile. She had given him so much hope that he could make it to his new destiny, she had given his soul a jumpstart, she gave him life. He watched the steady rise and fall of her body as she peacefully slept, and Harry was just as peaceful beside the nerves he has about the trade itself.

Harry heard the distant yelling of his captain for him, so he sighed and brushed Elena's hair back out of her face before slowly standing up and creeping out of her cell and locking it behind him. He then quickly made his way up to the top deck to Uma so he wouldn't be keeping her waiting for much longer. The crew was hustling and bustling around getting ready for the day that would determine their freedom, the noise and chatter were excitable. Harry spotted Uma and quickly jogged over to her so he wouldn't get in trouble for taking too long,

"Hook, bring the King up here and get him situated on that post there. When you're done there I want you to bring up your... princess. I want to really rub it in Mal's face that I finally have the upper hand. Oh, and use these for her would you?"
