Our Once Upon A Time

Chapter 3

It had been a solid 3 months since I've seen Uma, I saw Harry on the streets a while back and asked about her. Apparently, King Ben and the VK's, including Mal, had come to visit. Harry kidnapped Ben and tried to get the wand from Mal and all this crazy shit. In the end, the plan didn't work until Uma got out and is now apparently swimming around the ocean,

"Yeh and Uma had a face-off with Mal. She became a dragon and shit and Uma just backed down after King Ben intervened"

He had explained. All this talk of Mal made me extremely angry. She left me here, she promised to come and get me if they weren't planning on coming back. That was a year ago now. While I was standing there, apparently my hair began to glow out of anger. Eventually, I just snapped and ran off and away from Harry as he was explaining. Uma had a right to hate her but I had more of a reason, especially because she came back and didn't even bother to find me. That incident was about 2 weeks ago. Now I was sitting in the chip shop just existing. Harry came in and turned on the TV which had more news about Mal on it. The shop was rather empty at the moment which allowed Harry to hear me when I practically growled at the TV. He turned to me,

"Haven't seen ye in a while"

He said as he came up to the table I was at. He flipped a chair around and sat down with the back of the chair against the table and him leaning over it,

"And?"

I said rather irritably. Harry turned to the TV,

"Ye hate her that much too eh?"

"Yeah no shit Sherlock, lying bitch"

I said underneath my breath,

"Did she not let ye become part of her gang either?"

"Oh, honey I was in that gang. I simply didn't need a damn gang. I LEFT it a long time ago. She left me here. That's why I hate her ass"

"Left ye here? She left us all here-"

I shushed him by putting a finger over his lips. He looked at my finger that was over his lips,

"I'm going to stop you right there. Mal promised to come back for me because, well...never mind. It doesn't matter to you"

I said getting more and more irritated. Harry looked at me somewhat confused as I stood up and walked towards the TV,

"See this?"

I said as I pointed at her on a picnic with Ben eating strawberries,

"I do"

"How does this make you feel?"

"Angry of course, she's living a luxurious life while we all rot"

"And she has the power to change that doesn't she?"

At this point the crew and everyone in the restaurant were paying attention, even the cook was peeking out from the back of the kitchen. Harry nodded as he intently listened,

"So if she really cared about ANYONE here don't you think she'd actually try to do so? I mean in her eyes it's 'out of sight out of mind' while we all get to see this life and we get to see hers. So while she's oblivious despite the fact that she used to be one of us, we have to suffer while we get to see her living in the lap of luxury, and the lap of the King himself. I don't think we're fucking mad enough about this!"

I said raising my voice even more. The crew started to actually turn their entire bodies to face me, simply to show their full engagement which I appreciate of course,

"Not ta mention all of the other VKs in boreadon aren't doin anythin either"

"EXACTLY, exactly! We should be causing more of a scene over here, one that they can't ignore. You know, one day they're gonna need us. They're gonna have to come over here because they ran out of people to entertain their bullshit and I'm telling you now, we best give them the hardest time when they do"

I said, occasionally hitting my hand on the table in between gesturing to the TV. Harry slowly nodded before starting to clap. I raised a brow at him but that didn't stop him. Soon the rest of the crew started clapping too. I rolled my eyes but smirked,

"You may clap now, but I'm telling you now if any of you ever conveniently forget what I just said and suck up to them when that magical day comes I swear to you I will skin you alive and make it into a jacket to wear in front of all of your loved ones got it?"

Harry burst out laughing as the crew looked on in some fear, just another example of how slightly deranged and insane he is.

I scoffed as I looked up at the TV. I shook my head before turning and storming out of the chip shop again. I missed Mal, I really did but she hurt me. If she came back ever again, I'd force her to take me with her no matter what regardless of how angry I am at her. 

For the past few months since Harry and I's dual, he's stopped being mean, now he's just annoyingly clingy. The 2 weeks I disappeared for were spent by me just staying in my room for a while because every time I got out I was bound to run into him. I doubt she'll ever come back to save me from that though.
