Twisted little mermaid
There was once a story of a beautiful Mermaid princess with long red hair who fell in love with a human prince. It is said that she asked the evil Ursula to help her and so she did , with a price of course and even though it was hard the mermaid Ariel transformed into a human and overcame all of the struggles and lived happily every after with Prince Eric, but what you don't know is the real story.
Ariel swam to the surface and laid upon a large rock playing with a beautiful flower. The waves crashing against her and the breeze flowing through her hair. Flounder swam up to her grabbing her tail and pulling her down. "Flounder don't scare me like that!" Ariel giggled as his arms grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace. His blonde hair flowing with the ocean water. "Ariel I don't understand why you come up here it's dangerous, you can be seen!" He looked deep into her eyes worried of what is to come of her on her sixteenth birthday.
When mermaids and mermen turn sixteen their tails turn into legs and they go onto land for a month or longer to get pregnant, if it is successful they have to stay there to have their child(ren) and then they have the choice of staying on land or to go back to sea. Not all babies turn into mermaids and not every mermaid can get pregnant. Babies have a 50 / 50 chance to take whichever genes.
Their chests push against each other and flounder nibbles on her neck.
" I don't want to lose you Ariel." He said with a sad tone. In the distance you could hear a voice calling out for flounder. "I guess I better go will you meet me tonight for the show?" He questioned her. "Yes father." She snickered. He rolled his eyes and went to swim away but felt her small hand grab his and pull him into her as she kissed him passionately. " I love you Flounder." She said breathless. She watched as he swam deep into the ocean and as soon as he was gone she could hear a ship coming in the distance. She loved watching the ships pass her by, the thrill it gave her of the chance she could be caught. She swam back to her rock and hopped up. The waves were angry though and that meant a storm was coming which couldn't be good for the ship. The storm got worse quick and the ship got closer. She could hear the sea men screaming and hollering at each other running frantic on the ship deck. That's when she seen him. He was beautiful, she loves flounder but this man was different. He wasn't as built as flounder but he had muscles showing through his shirt. His black hair messy from the wind, his blue eyes filled with concern of what is to come. The waves getting more angry throwing some men off the ship. Eric jumped into the boat that was attached to the ship and the seamen dropped the boat down into the water and eric threw out a life saver to the other men, a couple of the men grabbed on and he pulled them in but he seen a boy trying to stay afloat and he was to far to reach so he jumped in after him and pulled him to the boat. All of a sudden a huge wave hit at the same time and Crashed into Eric pushing him into the ocean the men screamed out for him but they couldn't find him they could see more waves approaching so the seamen pulled the boat up and grabbed all the men out and the small boy. The boy was screaming and crying for his daddy and that's when it hit Ariel that the small boy was Erics son. She went into the water frantically searching for Eric then she seen his pale figure going deeper into the ocean, she swam as fast as she could to grab him but as soon as she brought him up the ship was to far and she couldn't risk being seen. So she pushed him into the rock and attempted to resuscitate him. He rolled on his side coughing up the water but laid back and closed his eyes falling asleep, he was to ragged from the ocean. She did the only thing she could think of and swam the same direction as the ship , hoping they would have a private shore to leave him on.
She swam for hours stopping occasionally to make sure he was still breathing. Ariel finally reached the land she pushed him on the shore and stared at his sleeping face. Suddenly his eyes opened slightly and his mouth curved up , smiling. Ariel , scared, jumped back into the water as quickly as she could. She watched him from afar making sure he was found. As soon as Ariel knew he was safe she swam home.
She entered the large kingdom quietly knowing if her father, King Triton , caught her she would be in major trouble. Ariel entered her room and seen her father already waiting there. She let out a gasp. "Oh father you scared me!" Ariel yelped. She could tell he was furious. "Where were you young lady?! I looked everywhere for you, Flounder said he hadn't seen you for a couple hours." The king huffed furiously as he stared at her. Ariel shrugged she knew if she tried to explain what happened he would yell at her. "Ariel your birthday is next week so from now until then I forbid you from leaving the castle. I've ordered my people on land and Flounder to keep watch over you while your up there." He left her room but hugged her tightly before exiting. He is afraid to lose her too.
Days have already passed and she stared out her window into the glorious sea. Flounder had tried to visit multiple times but she didn't want to see him after her father told her that he was to watch her on land. That angered her that he would listen to her father so easily. Ariel heard a knock at her door and she turned to see Ursula , one of her teachers and also the mother of flounder.
"Hello Ariel ." Ursula greeted politely. "Your leaving in two days so I thought I would come see you before you leave." She smiled at Ariel.
" Did my father hire you to watch me too?" She scoffed at Ursula.
Ursula shook her head. " No but I did want to tell you about my other children." Ursula paused as Ariel stared back more intrigued this time. "Well when I was your age i went to the land and fell in love with a King. It didn't take long before I became pregnant wish his children, when I had them, twin boys, I decided to stay a little longer to raise them there. This King was different though after I gave him his children. He wouldn't touch me or come near me, he no longer loved me I soon found out he had been courting another girl , 2 years younger than me, for awhile now. I begged him to love me again that I would give him more children. Well I didn't know at the time this girl he loved couldn't have children. So he took me down to the dungeon one night and told me he dreamed that if he impregnated me in the dungeon he would be gifted with a girl. The king lied and told me he loved me so much and didn't want another , that the girl was because of his father and he didn't love her. So he made love to me , creating a daughter. He laid next to me until I fell asleep and he crept away quietly and locked me in the dungeon. Guards would bring me porridge and dirty water to drink. The king came back 5 months later to check to see if I was showing, of course I was pregnant. I stayed down there for another 3 months before he took me to a different room, this one had a lock on the windows and the door but I could finally bathe myself and prepare to have my child. Finally one night I felt my water break and I screamed for help. A doctor ran in with guards and they grabbed me and strapped me to the bed. The man and the girl walked into the room. She had a petty grin on her face as she stared at me in pain. I pushed another set of twins out , one girl and the other a boy , but the boy was weak. They immediately took the girl and the guards took the restraints off me and they locked me in the room for a week then threw me and my baby boy out. He told me to never come back. " tears rolled down Ursulas face, Ariel put her hand out to Ursula and she took it in hers. "I miss my other children but there isn't anything I can do about it, I'm happy I have flounder , I just wanted to tell you this to be careful of the humans. They aren't all what they seem." She hugged Ariel and smiled at her one last time as she left the room. Ariel couldn't stop thinking about flounder now and yearned to see him.
