Welcome to the sequel to 'Mermaid's Tale'. I don't have a proper name for it yet, so if anyone can think of one, feel free to let me know. I might not use Linguamaris, the language of the mermaid's. This fic will only be about ten chapters or so, I'm not planning on this one being too long.
A quick background to the OC Christoph: He's prince in line to be king of the Mermaids and Mermen. He was supposed to be Victoria's husband, but her taking the deal to be human and remaining human by finding true love in Jade, the arranged marriage is canceled and his plans are put on hold. He doesn't speak the way Victoria does, where she speaks by saying I'm as I am, he says I'm like the others. He has four people helping them, two like him, the others human. You'll find out who's who in this chapter.
I recommend you read 'Mermaid's Tale' before you read this to know what's going on.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious' or its characters. I won the OC Christoph and the plot.
No POV
"Christoph." Victoria whispers, staring at the man in front of her.
"Who the hell is Christoph?" Jade asks, her hand in Victoria's, staring at the man a couple of yards in front of her.
"I'm her fiancé. Or, well, I was. If she didn't take the witch's offer, she would be right now." The man, Christoph, says, staring at Victoria.
"Well, you're not her fiancé anymore. Now leave." Jade says, looking between a smug Christoph and a stunned Victoria.
"Oh, but where's the fun in that?" Christoph says, smirking. "Have you met my subjects?" He asks, looking behind him and nudging his head, indicating whoever's hiding to come out. "Meet Ryder and Hayley, my cousin and his mate." He says when Ryder, Steven, Hayley, and Tara come out from the bushes. "The other two, Steven and Tara, are humans who's family's are land based servants of my family." He says when the four stop beside him. "They told me an awful lot about you two." He says, looking at Jade and Victoria.
"But I have never seen them before I accepted the deal?" Victoria says, staring at Ryder and Tara.
"There's a reason for that." Christoph says as the four beside him start to laugh. "You're not the only one who knows a witch, or in my case, a coven. The difference between my witches and the one you went to, is that mine make us human whenever I demand, and they can turn them back just as easily." He says smugly. "You've never seen them before becoming human because I never wanted you to. I had them go to the school Katrina went to, knowing that you would eventually join with her."
"Well, too bad whatever your plan was failed." Jade says, smirking. "Now walk away. If any of you touch her, or me, I'll kill you." She says, glaring at the five across from her.
"Oh, I think not." Christoph says, his smirk not leaving. "You see, I will have Victoria as my bride. My witches are more than able to turn her back to a mermaid, so my plan is far from done." He says, taking a step towards Victoria and Jade. "I will get you out of her life, and you will die if you try to stop me." He warns, his voice low and dark. "She will give me her powers, her sister's as well." He says, his tone shifting again to casual. "See you soon, Victoria. Jadelyn." He says, turning around and walking away, the other four with him.
"What the hell is he talking about?" Jade asks Victoria, turning to face her.
"I do not know." Victoria says, still staring in the direction of where Christoph just walked.
"Hey, don't worry. He won't get you or Trina's powers, or whatever the hell." Jade says, holding Victoria in a close hug. "Come on, let's talk to Phoebe." She says, starting to turn her around and guide her back to the cabin.
"She is not there." Victoria says, stopping. "I know her. She will not be in her cabin for a while. She usually just appears. It is hard to know for sure." She says, hugging Jade tightly.
"Okay, then let's go back to your house. Trina and Beck are there, maybe they can help." Jade says, guiding Victoria to where she parked her car. "I swear, if I ever see tha Christoph bastard again, I will kill him. I promise you." She says when they get to the beach, no one there to watch them.
"You will fail." Victoria says, fear in her voice. "He is of royal blood. They are the strongest of us. You will die, and I cannot allow that." She says, crying.
"What does him being of royal blood matter? It just makes him an arrogant ass who thinks he's better than everyone else." Jade says, holding Victoria close as they head to her car.
"Royal's are more gifted than others. His bloodline is known for being faster than all others, and the males are stronger and more agile. If you try anything, he will not hesitate to kill you, and you will not know until after you are already dead. And royal's keep their powers when turned into human." Victoria says, stopping and grabbing Jade's hands, urgency in her eyes.
"Then why didn't he kill me now?" Jade asks, confused at why Christoph let her go if he's more than capable to kill him.
"Because of a treaty from when Mermaid's first started to become human with the help of witches." Victoria starts, staring into Jade's eyes. "If a mermaid, or merman, finds true love during the deal, their powers are blocked. If in true love, at the event of one of the two in love is killed by a merman or mermaid, the killer is hunted and killed themselves."
"And?" Jade asks, knowing there's more.
"In order to take a mermaid's powers, the mermaid must do it willingly. And if the one they love is merdered, then nothing happens. Essentially, for Christoph to take mine and Trina's powers, we must do it willingly. And if he kills you, he knows I will never give them up. He plans to convince me in some way to do it. He needs you alive to do so, and after he gets my powers, he will have someone kill you, and he will either force my hand to prevent it, or try something after you are dead." Victoria explains, crying.
Next chapters will be longer, hopefully. I can't promise how often I'll update. Ideas for this come more slowly than ideas for 'Vega-Marx Secret'.
Hope you liked this chapter. Please review, let me know what you think and any ideas for a new title.
Blesses Be.
