Trish's Release
It started off like any other day. Footsteps came rushing down the hallway followed by squeals of laughter. Trish pulled herself out of her loving husbands arms and opened the cabin door to find their daughter about to knock on it. Picking her up with ease she carrys her to the bed and lays her down next to James. Kissing the top of the girls head she smiles with love in her eyes. Darkness soon fills the cabin and an evil laugh breaks through the silence. Her beautiful daughter and husband disappear leaving Trish alone once more.
Trish turned in her tank with fresh tears in her eyes as she woke up. The dream had felt so real. Staring off into the distance she tried to remember what her friends looked like, but their faces were becoming harder to remember with time. Striking the tank with her hand she almost let out a scream of fury, but she refused to let that evil woman have the satisfaction. Looking about she caught the hint of daylight outside her tent and knew that evening was fast approaching. It always seemed to come fast, men women and children always came into her tent and gawked and stared at her. During those times the evil woman stole her voice so that no one would know who the mermaid really was.
She moves into a sitting position just as Royce enters the tent. Trish turns and watches her with disgust. "We're moving today my dear pet."
"Why bother telling me?"
"Oh, just to remind you who your master really is."
"Your not much of a master more like a monster to me."
"Shut your mouth dear, it isn't pleasant to be talking to your master in such a way."
"I forgot my apology your nothing more then an evil demented sea hag wearing a disguise."
Royce lifts her hand as if she is about to strike the woman across her face, then thinks better on it. "Running a finger over the top of the tank she looks down on Trish. "Your friends have forgotten you, just today my spys told me that they have given up on searching for you. In fact that pirate you so loved, I for get his name has already taken a bride."
Trish felt her heart breaking but kept a straight face. "If they have forgotten about me, then why not let me go and you can return to the ocean?"
"Never, why would I want to let you go we have a good thing going on here. I mean all you have to do is look pretty and bring in the money that will one day give me the life style I really do deserve."
"Why would you want to stay?"
"Easy enough my pet, money here equals power, and with you, well let's just say your a gold mine."
With that Royce throws a cover over Trish's tank, leaving Trish in the dark. "Don't worry my pet the trip will be short we have a show tonight."
The water in her tank sloshed back and forth as it is picked up and loaded onto a wagon. Slowly it just rocks slightly as the wagon sways back and forth as it , sitting in the dark tank thinks long and hard. Did her friends really give up on her? Did James fall in love with another woman? She bites her lip and then becomes determined to escape on her own. Feeling sick and tired of being helpless she is determined to get her hands on something to break this spell and return her legs to her.
Elsewhere...
Hook walked up the gang plank onto the Jolly Roger he had left Smee in charge of it as he searched the land. It was about time to check in with the others on the progress of whether or not any of them had heard or seen Trish. His heart was heavy and he longed to see her again. As the ship sailed out into the open ocean it slowed down and stopped all together. Letting it just bob up and down on the currents they waited in silence. As the sun began to slip over the horizon and night began to take over Peter landed on the deck of the Jolly Roger. "Evening Hook," he called out.
"Hello Peter, we're just waiting on Xavier to arrive now."
Peter nods his head and walks towards the side of the ship. A short time later Xavier's head emerges from the ocean. "James Hook, how are thee;" he calls out.
Rushing to the side of the ship he peers over the edge and spots the merman. "Things would be so much better if Trish was among us have either of you heard or found anything out yet?"
"No," they both answer.
"I've left Smee in charge of the ship but I plan to continue searching the land. She is a witch perhaps she has abandoned the ocean," Hook explained.
"The merfolk have begun searching rivers and lakes but nothing has been heard of as of yet," Xavier responded.
"I have flown over towns and spoke with children that would hear me. None that I have come across have seen anything unusual," Peter began.
"Well then we must continue our search until we find her," Hook insisted.
"I agree," Xavier responded.
With that they part ways once again and head back out searching for her. Jack sat with his back against the deck rail looking off into the distance. he missed his sister but knew that she was strong. If she could she would find a way to return to them on her own. He let out a sigh and rose up onto his feet walking towards the cabins he enters his room. Closing the door behind him he lets a single tear fall from his eye.
