My name is Ursula. I am known as the wicked witch of the sea, but thats only because of previous events that caused me to become wicked. I hate who I have become, but I can't turn back now. Here is my story...
When I was born i was beautiful my parents loved me and gave me a charmed life, but my aunt couldn't stand the happiness my parents had, so on my tenth birthday she decided to give me a locket. She said if opened the locket when the moon rose that night i would gain immense power. Being the very curious mermaid I was, I waited until I could see the moon beyond the surface of the water and opened the locket.
All of the sudden there waqs a green flash and my vision began to become blurry and i began to feel a burning sensation in my tail. When i regained my vision I swam as fast as i could to the nearest mirror I could get to and was horrified at what I saw. My long brown hair had become this gray color and it was short and choppy. My smooth hands had become wrinkled, and my fingernails were long and grotesque. Worst of all was that my beautiful green tail had become 8 long, purple tentacles.
My aunt had ruined my life and all i could think about was getting her back. I knew just how i would do it too.
Two weeks later I went to my aunt Adalaina's house and snuck into my cousin Tritons room and stole his trident, and made sure there was no one else in the house and i waited for my aunt to get home. About two hours later she came home and i was waiting there spinning the triton in my hand. she ran to the kitchen and i fired a blast of energy from the trident, it missed. so i swam after her into the kitchen and a knife whizzed by my head. So i fired a blast in that direction and i heard her scream.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
" Now i have you auntie!" I screamed.
"Why are you doing this?!" She whined.
"Because you ruined my life. My parents won't even look at me!" I cried.
"I said you would have immense power if you opened the locket and now you do! What have i done wrong? It was your choice to open the locket and you accepted you can't blame me for that!" She retorted.
After that i lunged at her with the trident and then, well, my aunt had nothing left to say.
Before i left i picked up my "mess" and put the trident back in Tritons room and started for the door. I saw the knob begin to turn so i swam as fast as i could to the closest door. I went inside and locked the door, not even looking at where I was. I finally stopped and noticed where i was. It was a potion room filled with spellbooks and crazy ingredients. Then it hit me what am i supposed to do about my aunt missing, so I framed Triton and he was taken to jail.
After the funeral and the trial I began to go back everyday and read all those books until i knew those potion recipes forwards and backwards. Then i made so that the first two days of the week I would read about spells, the next three days that week I would practice making potions, and the last two days of the week i would test them. This schedule went on for about three years, until my parents had passed away and after that I took all the ingredients and books to a cave where I made my home and i began to make fatal deals with mer people that needed help little did they know that they were signing away there souls. Those poor, unfortunate people never even saw it coming, too bad.
After I had taken so many souls i realized that I had become the person i never wanted to be... my aunt. Thats when Ariel came to my cave and i made her a deal she couldnt refuse.
