Elsewhere, after his talk with Barbossa, the leader turned to Jadis who was mixing some ingredients in an enormous cauldron.
"Is it ready?" he asked her.
"Nearly. This will work perfectly. My sister's magic has never failed."
the leader grinned. "Except once."
Jadis sneered at him as she took out a beating heart and threw it in the mix. "Now only one more thing."
The leader's smiled as he took out the lock of hair the Headless Horseman sliced from Ariel and dropped it into the cauldron. A huge explosion erupted and the entire room was engulfed in smoke. As it cleared, a figure emerged from the cauldron.

Chapter 35: Double Trouble

The figure slowly climbed out of the cauldron. It was then the two villains examined her, she had snow white hair and evil red eyes, and had a long black gown. The leader laughed in triumph. "At last! Our creation is alive!" The leader smiled. "I expected no less of my sister's magic…" Jadis smirked. The figure smiled evilly at them. "What is my command, my master?" She asked. The leader smiled once more. "I'm glad you asked. I want you, to kill Alex! But first, you must eliminate your counter-part" The leader tossed her an image of Ariel. "Get rid of her first, then deal with Alex. She is supposed to be in love with him, so that should help out…" The figure glanced at the image and nodded. The leader snapped his fingers and a portal appeared. "Go forth, Anti-Ariel, and destroy Alex!" Anti-Ariel nodded once more before disappearing into the darkness.

Back aboard the Black Pearl Alex examined the Dragon Stone of Ice in his hands as he sat on the crossbeam. "These Dragon Stones, I can feel the power…you could almost lose yourself to it…." Alex said. He then leapt off the crossbeam and made his way over to the railing.

Meanwhile, somewhere in this ship, Anti-Ariel emerged from the portal. She looked at the image of Ariel then; she then closed her eyes, and began to change. Her hair became a radiant red, and her eyes became a cool blue… and her gown became a soft blue as well. She was now the spitting image of Ariel! She looked around the corner and saw the REAL Ariel approaching. "Good, here she comes…" She hissed. As Ariel walked by, Anti Ariel grabbed her by the back of her gown and threw her against a wall. Ariel was shocked to see…herself! "WH-Who are you?!" Anti-Ariel smirked evilly. "Your worst nightmare!" Anti-Ariel then threw her into a nearby closet and locked the door. Ariel pounded on the door. "LET ME OUT!!!" She cried. Anti-Ariel simply walked away.

She walked out onto the deck and saw Alex. "Alright, if I'm gonna kill this kid, I gotta twin his trust first…since my counterpart is supposed to be in love with him, this shouldn't take long, Love can't be THAT hard to imitate…" She thought to herself. She then walked up behind Alex and gave him a hug. "Oh hey Ariel! Ya kinda scared me there..."Alex said. "Uh… yeah…sorry?" Anti-Ariel said. Alex smiled. "It's ok Ariel…." Ale said. Anti-Ariel tried to think of something to say. "Um….do you…trust me?" Anti-Ariel asked. "Of course! I trust you with my life!" Alex stated. "Why do you ask?" Anti-stammered slightly. "N-No reason…"

Alex turned to face her. "Is something bothering you Ariel?" Anti-Ariel found himself looking into his eyes. "He's……so handsome…WAIT!! What am I thinking!? I have to kill this kid….and yet…." Alex waved his hand in front of Anti-Ariel. "Hello? Earth to Ariel?" Alex asked. Anti-Ariel then snapped out of her little trance. "HUH!? OH! Uh, sorry about that….and it's nothing…" Anti-Ariel stammered. Alex smiled; he then leaned forward and then kissed her on the lips. Anti-Ariel froze, she had now completely forgotten the mission and then grabbed him and deeply kissed him. She could have stayed there forever, if the leader's voice hadn't rung in her head. "You had better be acting Anti-Ariel!"

Anti-Ariel went wide-eyed and then broke away from Alex. "I'll….be right back…." Anti-Ariel said as she nervously stepped away. Alex waved and then returned to gazing at the ocean. Anti-Ariel hid behind the mast. "Of course I was acting!" Anti-Ariel said bitterly. "Well, since you've one his trust…..go kill him now…" There was an awkward silence. "Anti-Ariel?" Anti-Ariel sighed. "Yes master…." She replied sadly. Although she had a mission, the facts couldn't be helped; she had fallen in love with Alex.

Anti-Ariel sighed sadly, before drawing forth a dagger she kept hidden from Alex's sight. "Why is it the ones that are loved must suffer…?" She asked herself before slowly creeping up to Alex.

Jack roamed the halls of "The Black Pearl" looking for his usual bottle of Rum; at times he had forgotten where things were. He suddenly heard thumping in a closet not too far from him. He cautiously approached, ready to draw forth his Cutlass. He quickly opened the door and out came Ariel who face-planted on the floor. Jack looked at her with interest. "Heh, And I expected Alex to be in there with you…." Jack remarked. "Very funny…." Ariel retorted, although her reply was muffled by he face still on the floor. She got up and brushed herself off. "JACK! There's an evil version of me running around! And she's more than likely after Alex!" Ariel said frantically. Jack gave off a strange look. "Have you gotten into my Rum, Miss?" Jack asked. Ariel glared. "I'm serious!!" Ariel cried. She then ran off towards the deck as Jack followed behind her.
