Prompt from Johnny Frost: Could you do a Vanessa (Ursula) x Eric where it's sort of an extended version of the hypnosis scene? Like starting with her transformation into Vanessa and ending with Ariel running off in the movie?
…..
"Aaaaaaaa… Aaaaaaaaa."
Eric didn't expect to hear the melodic voice again. He'd thrown his flute away and vowed to tell Ariel how he felt about her.
"Aaaaaaa…. Aaaaaaaa."
The voice was just how he remembered it, soft and lilting, rising and falling in its simplicity.
Moving over to the edge, leaning over it in order to investigate, he spotted a woman walking along the beach, waves lapping at her ankles and a weird glow from a necklace around her neck.
He wanted to walk away, but it was like someone was controlling his legs, making them move of their own accord. Instead of heading inside to talk to Ariel like he wanted, he found himself walking down the stairs, to the beach.
'Stop!' he cried out in his mind, desperately trying to regain control as the woman turned to look at him, 'Stop! Something's wrong!'
"Such a handsome boy…" the woman whispered, her speaking voice almost as soothing as her singing one, "… I can see what she sees in you."
'She? She who?'
"You are the perfect instrument, which I will play to my victory…." The woman smirked, but there was definitely something wrong behind it, "… Now, repeat after me my sweet prince… We must be married as soon as possible. I will marry Vanessa."
Eric gritted his teeth together, desperately pushing back the words as they threatened to come out. "What… do you want?" he managed to push out, watching as the woman frowned and took a step back.
"Well… the little princess certainly has a hold over you. I underestimated her it seems." The woman seemed amused by this, "What do I want? I want the sea. I want that princess's pain and I want your pleasure…. I want the King dead!"
Eric found himself tensing up at that… did she mean his Dad (who was already terminally ill) or was she referring to another King? The Father of the princess she kept mentioning maybe?
"Don't worry your pretty little head about it…" the woman whispered, her soft hands coming up to cup his cheeks, pulling him closer to her own face, "… Just relax."
Her lips pressed against his and just like that, his mind went completely and utterly blank.
….
Ursula tried to keep her smile as soft and charming as she could, not easy when all she wanted to do was snarl in disgust at the older man smiling at her.
Getting the prince on her side had taken more time than she expected. Every time she thought she had him in her grasp, he started to act up. Almost the entire night passed before she was able to get full control over him.
And now Eric was behaving perfectly and soon, the little princess would be awake.
Speaking of the princess… footsteps were making their way across the corridor.
Thinking quickly, she pressed herself closer to Eric, acting like the besotted woman as the older man continued to blabber on.
"Well Eric, it appears as though I was quite mistaken. This mystery maiden of yours, does in fact, exist! And is quite lovely."
Vanessa tried not to shudder as the old man took her hand, a simpering smile on his face.
"Congratulations my dear."
"We wish to be married as soon as possible." Eric spoke up, sticking perfectly to her script.
"Y-Yes of course Eric, but these things do take time you know."
"This afternoon Grimsby. The wedding ship departs at sunset."
"Oh… Oh well Eric, if you insist."
Out of the corner of her eye, a flash of red caught her eye, prompting Vanessa to glance up towards the staircase, a smirk appearing on her face as she watched the little princess run away, her face buried in her hands.
'Everything was going according to plan' she mused, one hand gently cupping the glowing necklace around her necklace, 'Everything would soon be hers."
