So, I'm sitting in my room, and then I think... Y'know what would make a great Fanfiction? So, I wrote one. Please don't judge! I've worked really hard on this!
Ariel sighed and stared out if the window at the bustling streets below. Glancing around behind her, checking to make sure her sisters weren't in the room, she stuck her head out of the window. Her red hair waved in the wind like a banner, and closing her eyes, she could smell the sea. From the second floor of the little house she shared with her Dad and her six sisters, she could see the ocean, the waves lapping up against the sand of the beach, as if they called to her. Pulling her head back inside, she turned quickly and grabbed her bag, then ran down to the streets below. She hurried along with everyone else in the busy and bustling streets, but when she came to a little fence that bordered the edge of the road, she leapt over it and ran down the narrow path to the beach. She kicked her shoes off and dashed through the sand, dancing to the sound of the waves. Then she spotted something glimmering in the sand. She hurried forward and picked up a silvery seashell. The way it caught the light was perfect, and she placed it carefully on her bag. Continuing down the beach, she found more shells and some pretty rocks, worn smooth by the sand and the waves. Then she stumbled upon the jewel of her collection. A rope of pearls, each the same size and perfectly round, like little moons all arranged in a row. She laughed as she thought of the merpeople dancing with the waves, splashing the sea water around, sending little droplets of blue up into the sky. She knew that the merpeople lived out there. She had seen them, dancing among the waves at sunset. Her sisters and her father were perfectly content to stay firmly planted on land, but Ariel desperately wanted more. She wanted to live with the merpeople, to be able to breathe under water and to explore the deep blue sea. But, she knew it was impossible. She watched the sun set at the edge of the horizon, a fiery ball of light sinking into the deep blue water. Then she remembered. Her Dad had a curfew! He had recently set a curfew because he caught one of her sisters sneaking out to meet a friend. She sprinted back the way she came, gabbing her shoes, and not stopping to put them on. She kicked up sand behind her as she ran up the beach. Reaching the street, she continued to run, but her pace was slowed by the people milling about. She apologized many times as she ran into people and stepped on toes. She finally reached their small house, and pushed open the door just as the clock struck 7:00.
"Ariel! Why did you almost miss curfew?" Thundered her father, walking in. He was a blacksmith, and he was wearing his leather apron and his hands were gray from working with metal all day.
"Sorry Daddy." Apologized Ariel, looking down at her bare feet. "I lost track of time."
"Were you on the beach again, young lady?" Asked her father, his tone of voice suggesting that he already knew the answer.
"Yes." Mumbled Ariel.
He rolled his eyes. "What you find so fascinating about some water and a lot of sand, I don't know." He said. "Now run off to bed." He instructed her.
Ariel hurried up the stairs to the room she shared with all six of her sisters. She walked over to her bed, which was right by the window. The bed was simple, made out of wood, but she had painted fish all over it, in many different colors, shapes, and sizes. A quilt lay on top of the mattress, made with patches of blue, green, and purple fabrics.
"Did you break curfew?" Asked one sister.
"Was he mad?" Asked another, pulling the blankets up to her nose. Ariel smiled and shook her head, reaching under her bed to get the box that held all of her treasures in it. She place her findings in it, shut it, and slid it back under her bed. "Goodnight." She yawned, before climbing into bed and promptly falling asleep, dreaming of swimming in the sea.
