Chapter 14

Ben stared at the Sea three who had so rudely interrupted his moments of peace. All three VK's seemed to be beaming with excitement. The dread that he was feeling was somehow being masked by a face of indifference. It was almost like the three people standing in front of him were just there to give him a coffee instead of making his life a living nightmare.

"Ben!" Harry took a step towards him, a sadistic grin spread throughout his face, but Uma shot her hand out before he could make it to the captured King.

"No. Not now, get him out of here and back on the ship." Uma's tone held no room for argument and for that Ben was slightly grateful.

Gil who was almost as peeved as Harry grudgingly went to do his task. The sound their boots made as it hit the surface reverberated through the slightly spacious room. Gil worked on untying Ben's feet while Harry stood menacingly over the King in the highly unlikely event that he decided to sprint up a ladder. Free of his bonds, Ben stared at the menacing ladder looming ahead. Uma began the climb and Gil followed soon after his glare not going unnoticed by Ben.

"So.." Ben was roughly picked up by Harry who was surprisingly stronger than he had even expected. He couldn't discern what he was feeling as the son of Hook began his ascent up the ladder. He knew that he couldn't climb it because of his injuries but he half expected them to make him do it regardless. He stared at the ground as it grew further and further away before he was unceremoniously dumped on the ground.

"Let's go." Uma ordered, watching Gil haul Ben up to his feet. He couldn't do much to fight. His ribs ached after the way Harry's shoulders dug into his stomach with each rung of the ladder he grabbed and his left arm made itself known when Gil grabbed it. The satisfactory smirk Gil sported at the obvious discomfort he made Ben feel was only an inkling of what he felt about Ben's predicament.

Gil hadn't uttered a word since he set his eyes on Ben and it truly baffled Uma. Usually this bubbly pirate would be making small talk with any prisoner they caught but he was strangely keeping silent. However, that didn't keep her first mate from being quiet as he just loved to cause all sorts of physical and mental torture.

"Say beasty boy," Harry hummed absentmindedly inspecting his hook for any blemishes that were clearly not there, "wha'cha figure we'r gonna do when weh git ar hans on ya lil' magic wand?"

"You're not getting the wand." Ben stated, his lips forming a thin line. The very thought of Mal doing that was distressing.

"hmm, mayhaps yer right..."

Ben lifted his eyebrow in slight confusion.

"Then ya'd be stuck with meh." Harry grinned in approval at the flash of fear that Ben couldn't conceal quick enough.

Mal was right, some people on the Isle were so lost in the corruption of their parents and that sadistic, snarky, even charming smile that the son of Hook was wearing right now was one of them. Turning him into an Auradon student would require magic, luckily they had plenty of that there. The thought of Harry being dressed in the school attire traipsing around like a little schoolboy brought a small smile to his face.

Harry did not approve. "What's so funny beasty boy, hmm?"

"The thought of you choosing good," Glancing at Harry's face, Ben was actually quite astonished that the boy seemed genuinely hurt, "but of course people can change. Come with me to Auradon, I'm sure your captain filled you in on my proposal to her earlier.

Harry snorted, his earlier demeanor completely gone. "Ya'v got some balls 'allowin' my Cap'n a chance to hav' Mal's lefto'ers."

"Excuse me?"

"Jus' shut up befor' ah hav' yer tongue ripp'd outta yer pretty. Lil'. Mouth." Harry growled, cold steel pressed up underneath his chin causing a halt to the ragged group of teens.

The intensity of the situation was soon dispelled when Gil finally voiced his opinion on their captor. "But then how would we be able to hear him scream?"

Ben gulped, knowing that he royally screwed up with double crossing this seemingly nice pirate. Uma had turned around her face betraying the thoughts she was thinking of earlier, the words obviously filling her with as much dread as it was filling Ben. Harry on the other hand seemed slightly amused as he removed his hook.

"Ya kno', ya have ah point ther' Gilly boy." Harry smiled as if they were discussing the topics of the weather.

"Stop fooling around, we wouldn't want to run into Mal and her band of misfits without the rest of our crew." Uma stated. As great a fighter as her first and second mates were, they would be outnumbered and Harry was still nursing his wound even if one couldn't tell.

"Aye captain." Gil responded, poking Ben in the back to make him move.

The rest of the walk there was mostly uneventful. Since they knew their way around the Isle, they arrived at the Lost Revenge sooner than Ben had anticipated. The ruckus pirates on board cheered when they saw their Captain hauling their escaped prisoner back on the ship. Harry raised his hook in the air joining into the loud and robust cheer, Gil adding his voice to the fray. Uma allowed them a few more minutes of excitement before she stamped her boot on the deck and demanded for quiet. The silence slowly trickled down as the pirates awaited eagerly to hear what she had to say.

"Now that King Goody-two-shoes is back in our possession," Uma took a glance at Ben to make sure he hadn't somehow sneaked off again, "things can go as planned."

Ben slumped in defeat as Harry firmly grabbed him and started moving towards the plank the glee in his face plainly showing for all to see.

"Harry.. we'll give them ten minutes to show. IF they dont, THEN you can throw him to the sharks. No sooner. Got it?" Uma questioned watching his ecstatic face turn to one of mild annoyance. He had understood. Moving away from Ben, Harry decided to occupy himself with the helm of the ship. Everyone on the ship was bustling with excited energy, in a short amount of time they would either be off to Auradon or tossing King Beasty Boy into the sharks below. Either was fine with them. Around nines minute passed before Harry noticed the group of misplaced VK's making their way to his ship. A huge smile broke out on his face, it would be just too good to pass up an opportunity of tossing Ben in the see while they watched.

"Welcome!"

And then we all know what happens afterwards. So here I conclude Saving Ben. Thanks to all of you who reviewed, favorited or followed. I will post one more chapter about what Mal and her gang did if any of you are interested, if not I can finally rest LOL. Like I haven't been resting enough.. But drop a review of a story you've been wanting to read but can't seem to fit into your perfect little bubble and I will see if I can fulfill your dream. Anything angsty or torturous automatically have a high chance of being published ESPECIALLY if it's about the Sea Three. Also, I do love a good rpg so don't hesitate to pm me, you'll be surprised how quickly I reply to rps when my stories take literal months to update.

MUCH LOVE ~ K16
