When I woke up the next morning, the sun was barely rising. But the light was able to hit us through the window, and I got to admire Harry's ring in the sun. Harry woke up, kissing the back of my neck to inform me. I smiled and got out of bed, getting one of my spare sets of clothes out of Harry's dresser.

I changed behind a curtain while Harry walked into the bathroom. When he came out, he was dressed. I came out a few moments later, and Harry couldn't help but smile. The ring reflected brightly as I put my hand on his cheek and kissed him. Black lipstick smeared on his lips. He smacked my hand when I tried to wipe it off.

"It's hot like this, sweetheart," Harry assured me. "I love it when you wear this." His thumb ran along my bottom lip the slightest bit. Not enough to smudge my lipstick more.

I finally noticed his eyes. "You have more guyliner on than normal."

"You taught me," Harry reasoned. "And it's a special occasion."

Harry and I walked together, getting to the docks five minutes later hand in hand. Uma smiled at me and pointed to Ben, who was tied up to the ship's mast. I smirked and walked over to him, Harry poking fun at him for a couple of minutes.

"Give it a rest, Harry." Uma looked at Ben. "We don't want damaged goods."

"You said I could hook him!" Harry said in frustration.

"I said at noon!" Uma shot back.

I smiled at their bickering as Ben turned to me. His eyes examined me. "How do I know you?"

I shook my head. "You don't know me."

"No, I feel like I've seen you somewhere," Ben explained.

I snapped. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't introduce myself. (Y/n), the other daughter of Maleficent."

Ben looked at me in shock. "I'm sorry. I didn't know Maleficent had another daughter."

"I don't need your pity. Maleficent was never my mother. Not since she left me with Dad to raise Mal instead of both of us together."

"Mal mentioned you a couple of times."

That made me look up. "She probably tried to bring up taking you over there if I hadn't been so busy."

I smiled. "Yeah. Like she would want me to be in that disgusting place. She's living her happy, worthless life without me."

"Come back to Auradon with me," Ben said.

"Excuse me?"

"You could untie me. We could go back to Auradon with Mal, together," Ben explained.

"See, here's the thing. I've wanted nothing to do with my sister the minute she left me on this dump. So if you think I want to go back with her and her perfect boyfriend, think again," I snarled.

I thanked myself that I had put Harry's black leather gloves on earlier. It was cold.

"Hey, guys! They're here!" Gil announced.

"Finally!" Uma laughed in excitement.

Harry walked away from me and led Ben over to the edge of the plank, holding him there until Uma's command. Uma looked really happy, with a bit of sadistic glee. I hid myself in the background until the right moment. The four were back, along with a girl I didn't recognize.

Huh, let's get this party started

I swear I'm cold-hearted

There's no negotiation

I'm not here for debatin'

You need some motivation?

Just look at Ben's face
