Escape
Karla had enough with the tub, sailors, and ship. She was getting homesick and resolved to escape that night.
Night ~
Karla transformed back into a human. This was definitely enough! She wanted to get out of here. Luckily, the black suit that she'd had somehow stayed with her. She sneaked around in the shadows and felt someone watching her.
"Well, thief, you better run."
The girl turned to see turquoise eyes and ran to the edge of the ship. She heard footsteps behind her and saw the prince following.
"Wait! No!"
That was the last thing she heard before she transformed into a mermaid and dived into the open sea.
Prince's POV ~
So it was true. She was beautiful. Long black hair ended at her waist and her golden fin shimmered as she dived down. Who could she have been? I knew that I was lucky, lucky enough to get a glimpse of her true self. I wonder what color her eyes were. Some court ladies say mine is the color of the ocean. Always changing. The color of the dolphin's eyes was dark honey. But her's aren't that color, are they? Well, it looks like I can't find out anyway.
Back to Karla ~
The girl rejoiced. She was free! Happily, she twirled around in a school of salmon, which was currently surrounding her. A great white shark swam up and Karla looked into its deep blue eyes.
"Artier! I've escaped! I'm home!"
She hugged the large shark and tugged its arm fin. The shark placed on an annoyed expression and transformed back into the blue-finned merman.
"So I see, princess. The royal family thought you were dead. I think it might be a good idea to reassure them, don't you?" said Artier, with an annoying smirk. Then his expression sobered.
"Princess, there is something you must know. The king…he has passed on."
"What?!"
"He was poisoned. Someone slipped a puffer's toxic bag into his drink."
"Didn't he have guards?"
"Another incident occurred at the same time. A pod of orcas decided that mer-meat may be tasty. We were busy defending the castle. Oh, there is another thing, Farla has taken your place as ruler of Majesty's Pearl."
To Majesty's Pearl ~
"Princess! This is a very bad idea! Please don't do this!"
Artier protested as Karla headed toward the castle gates of the huge palace. Karla used her magic to push open the doors and rushed into the great hall.
"Sister! Where are you? Come now!"
Farla, dressed in dark violet, walked calmly to the throne and sat down.
"Now, wench, what do you want?"
"I am your sister, Karla, and I royally command you to step down from the throne that is rightfully mine!"
"Who are you, girl? Such insolence! Guards! Send her to prison!"
Large groups of armed merman entered the hall, heading toward Karla. The princess used her sky magic and blasted them away. In case, you didn't know, wind is very effective underwater. Farla glared and raised her right hand, trapping Karla within a typhoon.
"Bye, sister."
She threw the typhoon as far as she could, making it head toward Crimea.
Later ~
Hours later, Karla managed to disperse the typhoon by taking its air magic out. The water quickly collapsed and Karla found herself on dry sand. She looked around and found herself on an empty beach. She stared beyond and saw a small village. At first, she thought it was a ghost town, until she read the banner that was hung up. Welcome home, Prince … she couldn't read the last word because of the fading paint. Wearily, she returned into her human form and started for the village, hoping for a place to sleep.
Village Esker ~
The girl managed to walk to town, using only a bit of magic to quicken her transportation. She saw a group of village girls chatting vivaciously nearby, she looked at them and one of the girls gasped.
"Wow, you have eyes of gold! Are you a noble? Maybe it's because you are surrounded by so many piles of gold that your eyes are that color! You must be rich! Please tell us who you are."
Karla stared at the annoying girl and sighed. Deciding not to give out her real name, she chose another one. Quickly, she pasted on a huge smile and started talking to the girl.
"Hi, my name is Rachel. I live over in that place." Karla waved her hand carelessly in one random direction. The girl looked over and smiled.
"So, you live with the queen? Ah! I knew it! You're one of the queen's maids! Are you her favorite one?"
"I'm not sure," muttered Karla as she headed toward the castle, pretending to return.
She managed to get a glimpse of the castle when she reached a small hill. It had a beauty that could rival the mer-people's kingdom. Oh, how she wished Farla could see this, to watch her become red with jealously. Grayish-white stone formed the walls of the gigantic building and a smooth oak door was its opening. Timidly, she knocked on the door.
"Oi! We got visitors now, don't we? It's really no wonder, the prince coming back and everything. Maybe its another one of those bloody selfish princesses…" the voice trailed off as the person tried to unlock the door.
A blonde peered out, his tousled hair poking out in all directions. The girl couldn't restrain a giggle.
"Now you think I'm funny, huh? Oh, bullocks, why can't anyone take me seriously?"
She laughed silently as the young man turned around to close the door. He waved his hand, motioning her to follow.
"So, your one of the queen's ladies? God knows where you've been. The queen has been ordering everybody to help her with this bloody dress. Can't seem to fit inside it, pity isn't it? Come one, it's that one over there, in you go, Raven."
"Raven's not my name!" snapped Karla as she slipped into the doorway. She gasped as the room came into view. Yes, this palace could definitely be a match with the Majesty's Pearl.
"Out! Out! Out, why can't children of today do things right?"
She headed toward the voice and peered into the door. Unfortunately, the queen spotted her.
"You there, come! Fit this dress. Hurry now! I only have one hour before the royal welcome for my stepson. The prince, ha, he should have died with his mother."
Karla's eyes widened, but she kept silent. Quietly, she managed to help the snobby queen slip into her dress. Then she stepped back as the queen admired herself in the mirror.
"Ah, beautiful. Yes, now you shall be my Lady Maid. The highest of the entire servant's ranks. Come one, tell me your happy about that."
"Uh, yeah. I'm positively delighted," said Karla sarcastically, the queen didn't notice.
"Wonderful! Now, come with me to welcome my horrendous stepson."
Karla winced as she followed the queen, regretting that she ever came here.
A/N: Hmm…what do you think of the stepmother? *shivers* Isn't she 'nice'? See, another twist. I'm so sorry, you didn't get to meet the prince! I promise that he will be in the next chapter! I just have to make up his name! Hey, guess what? I got my own prince *winks*. Yep, I got a bf !!!!! He's blonde and blue-eyed, name is Nick. *sighs* Absolutely dreamy and is a TOTAL gentleman. Well, bubbie…see ya next chapter, REVIEW!!!!!
D: Eh? Nothing much to disclaim is there? Well, I don't know. Uh…anything you recognize isn't mine.
