Author's Note: For those who wanted me to finish this story first…I had writers block so I put up the first chapter to my Cinderella story since I already had it finished.

Sera had her wrist held onto by the Sea Witch. She was at her service there was nothing she could do about it. She failed to kiss Yamato, they were so close.

"It's not like I had a choice child." The Sea Witch tells Sera as she looks at her, confused. "It's not you I am after . . ."

"What do you mean? Why didn't take Amu with you?" Sera questioned, knowing she didn't drag her friend down with her. She was also under contract,

"She maybe under contract but I have no use for her . . .you however are much more valuable prize, Princess."

"STOP NANAMI!" King Samu yells putting his trident right to The Sea Witches neck.

"King Samu, it's been awhile . . ." The Sea Witch tells him, trying to be calm. Knowing her plan was get set into motion.

"LET. HER. GO!" King Samu angrily tells her.

"So sorry, but your daughter is under contract so I am afraid there's nothing you can do about it." The Sea Witch shows the contract. Her two eel minions held Sera by the arms, restricting her. As the Sea Witch focused all her attention to King Samu.

"Daddy, I'm sorry . . . I didn't mean too." Sera cries out as she is restrained by the Sea Witch. King Samu angrily fires at the contract with his contract expecting to destroy it. He looked puzzled as he looks back to see the contract still completely in intact.

"Surprised?! This contract is legally binding, and no magic can destroy it, even for you . . . of course I am a girl that is willing to bargain . . ."

"Daddy, don't do it . . ." Sera warns him. She had a tear coming down her eyes.

"What kind of deal?" King Samu questioned as he turns himself around to look at the Sea Witch. The Sea Witch snaps her fingers as a glowing whirlwind circles around her. She looks at her hands as slowly starts to shrink down, knowing she was being transformed slowly to a Polyp. She had been told that Merfolk who made deals with the Sea Witch.

"I will release your daughter from the contract but I need someone of equal value in return . . ." The Sea Witch tells him as she smirks. King Samu would give himself up in a heartbeat for his children. She certainly knew that as he looked away as he signed the contract.

"It's a deal then. . ." The Sea Witch happily exclaims, she snaps her fingers as the magic suddenly dispels off of Sera as she transforms back to her original self. It appears around King Samu instead as he becomes nothing more than a Polyp.

"Daddy?" Sera cries as she looks at the Polyp, feeling helpless. He sacrificed himself so she could be free. Now, she may never see her Father again.

The Sea Witch could only laugh menacingly as she takes the crown and placing on her head as she takes the trident. "Now I am the ruler of the ocean . . ."

"YOU…YOU'RE A MONSTER!" Sera screams angrily at the Sea Witch as she attempts to attack her and take back the trident. The Sea Witch pushes her back down to the ground in annoyance. As Sera laid on her back in the sand,

"You dare attack your new ruler!" The Sea Witch angrily tells her as she put the trident right at Sera. She didn't have any remorse for attempting to harm her in any fashion.

"You'll never be considered the ruler of this Kingdom . . . not to anyone."

"SERA!" A voice can be called out; she recognized the voice of Leo's. Was he going to try to help her? With the Sea Witch having King Samu's powers, he had no chance.

"LEO . . . GET AWAY!" Sera screams. As the two eels grab onto him as the Sea Witch turns around, the end of the trident begins to glow.

"Say goodbye to your brother, Princess." She smirks. "You will have none of your family left."

"NOOOO!" Sera yells as she pulls the Sea Witches hair, redirecting the shot as it destroys the eels holding onto him instead. They were nothing but little pieces as the floated down to her.

"My babies!" The Sea Witch cries out. As she catches the remains of eels as she holds it close to her face. It was one of the few rare times that a tear streamed down her face. She looked up angrily, as she watched Sera grab her brother who was unconscious as she dragged him back to the surface. The Sea Witch was not going to let the Princess get away with this. She uses her trident on herself as she begins to grow larger.

Meanwhile on the surface

"You and Sera were both Mermaids?" Tusk questioned.

"Yes, we made a deal with the Sea Witch, so she could use her magic to make us human." Amu explains to Tusk. "So Sera and I could be closer to the Prince and You, Mr. Tusk."

"You don't have to call me mister. It's just Tusk."

"I find that improper, I barely know you." Amu tells him.

"This is from someone, who not long ago confessed she loved me." Tusk remarks, his arms folded. He nothing but seriousness on his face.

"I may love you but that doesn't mean we have to go too fast in our relationship." Amu argues back.

"If you didn't want to go fast, then why did say you love me?"

"Because I say how I feel . . ." Amu irritably argues back.

"WOULD YOU TWO STOP BICKERING LIKE AN OLD MARRIED COUPLE?!" Yamato yells out. He was looking at the ocean, blankly. He was too concerned for Sera to listen to them bicker. "Sera is in danger. We need to find her?" He had nothing but seriousness in his eyes. After all Sera was the only girl he has ever loved. He didn't want to lose her a second time. NEVER AGAIN! The problem that lingered in his mind. He was in love with a mermaid . . . this was the girl he wanted to marry . . . but their type relationship isn't known especially when he is human.

"He is right, Sera is in trouble." Amu agreed. She was too concerned for her friend. After all she was with the Sea Witch, and could be a victim of anything since she signed the her magical contract. She could only fear the worse.

"Sure. Whatever."

Not long after he said that, Sera and Leo came up to the surface as she took a breath. She held onto Leo as she swam back over to boat.

"Sera, your okay?" Yamato worried asked her.

"I am fine, your highness . . ." Sera blushed, happy that Yamato was concerned for her. "But he isn't?" Sera sadly tells Yamato, she looked at her brother who was still unconscious.

"Who's he?" Yamato asked, his voice looked annoyed. Naturally, he wasn't aware that Leo was her older brother. So to come back up to surface with a Merman. It's easy to believe he could be a rival.

"There's no need to worry, his just my older brother, Leo. He tried to rescue me from the Sea Witch." Sera assures him.

"Oh?" Yamato replies in relief.

"We don't have much time . . . the Sea Witch she turned my Father into a Polyp. He took my place." Sera cried out. "And . . . she will be coming after me. I destroyed her eels when she was aiming Father's trident at my brother."

"She has your Father's trident? That's not good."

"What do you mean?" Tusk questioned.

"Sera . . ." Yamato softly tells her. She embraced him as she cried in his arms.

Suddenly the ocean water began to become very wavy as the Sea Witch became giant. As she laughs menacingly. Sera looks over at

"That's the Sea Witch?" Yamato asked Sera, still holding her in his arms.

"Yes!" Sera tells him.

"Was she always that giant?"

"NO! She's using the trident's magic to grow that size . . . she has the power of the ocean's at her command as long as she has it." Sera explained to him. "I don't know if there is anyway to stop her."

"We can't give up. There is always a way." Yamato says to her.

"Yamato.

"No matter what happens, I am with you . . ." Amu tells them.

"And I am your bodyguard Prince Yamato . . . So I have to assure your protecting . . ." Tusk tells him. "Plus your my best friend."

"And if Leo can wake up . . . he will help us too." Sera tells them. Leaving out the fact, he is not completely fond of humans due to distrust but being his sister he remains loyal to her. She only could look at Leo, hoping he would wake up soon.

Author's Note: I had to have Tusk and Amu bicker….I found it hilarious when they argued in Episode 7 of the show. I was like . . . "It must be done." Anyway I want to do way more than 10 chapters so I have to cut them into parts so it's smaller. It would be worth it in the end. I even plan to do a epilogue as well too. And another important question to ask . . . What will Leo think of Yamato? Since Sera is in love with him. He is going to have to tolerate him for her sake. And with Tusk too. So they will interact next chapter . . .

Anyway let me know how much you like this chapter? Yes, but our beloved couples are reunited but of course with the Sea Witch, it would be peaceful until she is destroyed. I know the climax is getting really good right? You don't want this story to end. Just be patient, when I get a chance I will put chapter eleven up.
