The Unexpected

Chapter 7: Lost no More

Heidi's POV

It has been about 3 weeks since my incident with Hartley and I have been cleared I can accompany the others on the relief mission to the Isle. I am in my dorm room making sure that I have everything I am going to need for my trip to the Isle, "Are you sure that you going back to the Isle is the smartest idea?" Shay asks giving me an unsure look as I just simply nod my head. "I haven't been there since the barrier was brought down, and I have to say that I am more than a little curious about what has happened to the isle since then." I say grabbing my batons from under my bed, "The isle you and all the former villains knew is gone, anyone who stayed on the hunk of rock wanted to for a reason." I can't say that Shay was completely wrong but a part of me will always see the Isle as my home.

"The kids and adults that stayed on the Isle don't believe in anything other than what their parents have drilled into their heads, and I know from personal experience that some parents have a stronger grip on their kids than all the magic in Auradon." Shay places her hand over mine as the sound of Henry cooing fills the room. "I still can't believe that you are taking Henry with you." I walk away from Shay and over to Henry's crib and look down to see my happy and smiling baby boy.

"He will be more than safe and plus I think it is time that Henry sees where his parents and grandfather come from." Shay clears her throat as I pick up Henry and start getting him ready for his little adventure. "Speaking of Henry's grandparents, have you talked or seen to your mom or dad lately?" I sigh looking down at Henry as I part his hair to reveal his endless blue eyes that he gets from his dad. "I see and talk to my parents almost every day, but it is also kind of hard with them being busy with whatever they are doing and then I am busy with my life and school starting next week." Shay just smiles and rolls her eyes, "I wish you all the luck in Auradon, and call me if you need backup." Shay hugs me and gives Henry a kiss on his head before leaving as I finish packing. 

Henry and I meet up with the rest of the gang and the moment I join them Henry is snatched out of my arms by Harry who smiles and turns all his attention to his son. "I don't think I have seen Harry care about anything or anyone more than he does for you and that little boy." I turn my head to see Uma gearing up for our trip. "He might seem complicated to most people, but those of us who really know him know that when everything boils down Harry is pretty is an easy read." Uma nods her head as the turn my body completely around to face Uma.

"Uma, can I ask you something?" Uma crosses her arms over her chest giving me a dirty look, "After everything we have been through, you still think you need to ask me stuff like that?" I just shrug my shoulders because the truth is no matter how much time goes by when I am around Uma is still feel like I am part of the crew. "Old habits die hard I guess." Uma laughs as he slings her arm over my shoulder. "What's on her mind?" She asks as we start walking to join the others. "You know the isle better than anyone, what do you think it is like now?" I can see the mix emotions flash across Uma's face as she lets out a deep sigh. "You are right when you said that I know the Isle better than anyone, but that place is no longer the Isle of the lost Heidi." I knew deep down in my heart that Shay and Uma were right about the Isle of lost not being the isle of the lost no more.

"We are walking into unknown territory, and we should be ready for a not so friendly welcome." I nod my head as Uma and I join the others. "Alright, we all know why we are going to the Isle, and I know that going back will be hard for some of us." I feel Harry walk up next to me as Henry seems very content being with his daddy, and I know that Henry is going to grow up to be a daddy's boy which is unfortunate for me. "Just be careful." Mal says as all of us start walking across the bridge.

"You seem more nervous that I am." I say looking up at Harry who has a stone like expression on his face. "I am more nervous about Henry getting exposed to this place more than anything else." We all stop at the line where the bridge stops and the Isle begins. "This is it." I say but before any of us can step foot over the line two voices stop everyone in their tracks. "Strangers from across the way." Says one voice, "Unwelcome faces of traders who were once seen as heroes here." Says the other voice. Out of the shadows step two identical twin girls and two girls that anyone who was in Uma's crew are very familiar with. 

"Lagan and Derelict." Uma says with a sour tone in her mouth as she stares a hole though the daughters of Flotsam and Jetsam. "If it isn't our former leader." Lagan says as she slithers around her sister, "The one who said that she was never be like Mal and lied to everyone that believed in her." Derelict hisses but then I notice they are not alone as I see someone watching from high above. "Enough you two, remember the council wants them unharmed." The third person says as the jump down and land on their feet to reveal someone that I never wanted to see again. "Hello Heidi, long time no see." I growl at the girl who is standing between Lagan and Derelict. 

"Hello to you too Chelsea." Chelsea winks at me before the three of them slightly bow to us. "Welcome the Isle of Villains." Chelsea gives us a smile that would put her old man to shame.
