Part of your world

Chapter 1: the rescue

Patrick was the best fisher in all of Storybrooke. He would go out into the worst weather and still seem to come back without a scratch. People believed he had a guardian angel watching him. One day there was a hurricane scheduled to come in from the north but nothing ever stopped Patrick even when his friends and family warned him not to go out in such heinous weather. As he in the ocean on this particular night he started to have déjà vu. Everything seemed very familiar. He was out this his dog when the storm started but they were out much too far and couldn't turn back as the storm him. A huge tidal wave suddenly came up and knocked him overboard. A young woman suddenly came up from the water and swam towards him. She then swam him back to shore. He slowly opened as eyes as he saw her face and then saw her turn and swim away. He wanted to scream towards her but couldn't find the words.

Ariel was very frustrated when the curse hit the merpeople were the only ones who hadn't forgotten who they were on changed in any way. The only thing that had changed was that Ariel had become a mermaid again. She watched as her husband went out on his fishing boat like some sort of daredevil. She kept praying that he wouldn't drown again like he almost did the night he tried to save her from Regina.

" You want your precious man? Come get him." Said Regina who had transformed herself into a sea witch.

Ariel had dove down into the ice-cold waters but couldn't find him. What had that witch done with him? Suddenly, she found him. His body was limp and lifeless in the water. She brought him up and took him to shore while Triton dealt with Ursula. "Wake up, Eric… Wake up!" She kept saying over and over. "Eric, please wake up. Please be all right." She said

When he wasn't moving she started to cry. "Eric, I love you." Said Ariel

"Patrick. Patrick!" a friend of his ran over as Patrick opened his eyes.

"Did you see her?" asked Patrick

"See who?" asked the friend

"The most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She brought me to shore. You didn't see her?" asked Patrick

"I'm sorry. I didn't see anyone." Said his friend "Let's get you back home." He said helping Patrick up.
