A/N: Thank you all, for the reviews!!! Sorry, if this goes too fast, I'm
just trying to finish it!!! Some parts may seem weird because of my
nervousness, almost done with the SATs!!!
D: Eh? I don't know why I write these anymore. Um…some parts may seem familiar, they are not mine, they are owned by the All-powerful Disney. (Okay, THAT sounds corny. Remember, I'm nervous!!!)

A/N 2: There's something else, I've got to say. This event takes place while Karla was at the palace.
The Threat
Farla paced around in her room. It took up a whole story of the palace and was very comfortable, in her opinion. She sat down in a plush amethyst- sewn seaweed couch. Threading her fingers thorough the thick leaves, she leaned back and sighed. Karla, her stepsister, was still alive. There must be something done to get rid of that girl! Suddenly, she sat up and snapped her fingers. Two slippery purple eels slithered up to the mermaid and gathered around. Smiling grimly, she dropped small bits of swordfish into their gaping mouths.
"Get me, Aunt Nauru."
Few moments later ~
An old mermaid, astride a porpoise, arrived at the gates of Majesty's Pearl. Slowly, she flicked her hands and the barriers flew open. Moving on, she waved her hands behind her and the gates closed.
"Ah! My dearest aunt has arrived. Come, sit down."
Farla led the old woman to a bed of coral and gently released her. She watched as the older mermaid skillfully glided down and relaxed upon the bed. She twisted her hands, nervous of what to come. Her aunt had taught her every bit of magic that she had, except one, the most complex of all. Farla's family had come from a long line of sea magic. Her veins contained powerful magic that could flood lands within seconds. Now, her aunt was going to release more. Quietly, the young mermaid sat down before her aunt and waited. The old mermaid coughed and began.
"Now, young one, what have you called me for?"
"Oh, it is the most important thing of value to me, aunt. Please consider what I am about to say. You have taught me since I was but a tiny merling, teach me one more. The one you have promised to let me learn of when I was old enough."
The aunt leaned forward and sighed.
"So, it has come down to this. You need the spell, but what is it for? Revenge? Hatred? Jealously? Tell me and I'll do it for you, it is too dangerous."
"No! I must complete this spell by myself. I do it for security. My stepsister, who has no right to the throne, might try to come back and steal it from me. I must get rid of her, please understand!"
Nauru muttered to herself and reluctantly sat up.
"Very well, I shall teach you once more. But beware, there are side effects to a spell of such great power."
"I will willingly risk it."
"Meet me in the hall tomorrow, in the great hall, this spell requires a great deal of space."
Tomorrow ~
Farla had already woken up and was dressed by the time her aunt arrived. Together, they entered the hall and sat, facing each other.
"Now, give me one of your hands," instructed the aunt. Obediently, Farla laid her hand on top of the old woman's.
"I, the elder, daughter of the King of Seas and Queen of Air, bequeath my power to my granddaughter, F-Karla." The old woman coughed, messing up the words. Farla's eyes widened as she watched the silver globe of power divide in half and split up, one floated toward her and the other headed out of the palace.
"Aunt! Get the power back! It's ruined! I knew you'd mess up, you old fool."
The aunt's eyes widened in shock as her life began to ebb away. The last few words trailed up into Farla's ears as the old woman's death rattle sounded.
"May your life end as quickly as mine did."
Particles of her aunt split away and floated out to sea, becoming one with the salty water. Farla stood, not caring at all about what had just happened. The only thought that ran through her head was Karla. If she got rid of her, the power and throne would be all hers! She smiled evilly, a new plan brewing up within her malicious mind.
Karla ~
Oh, what to do, WHAT TO DO?! The thought ran around inside her mind as her hands held the poisonous dish. She bit her lip and stood for a while. All of a sudden, she saw a silver light flying around the room. It flew closer and, in a second, went into her hand. Still standing, she dropped the tray in surprise. The silver thing was like a little ball of cold water. Shaking her head, she examined her hand.
The prince, thinking that something bad was happening, rushed over. Karla gave him a death glare that stopped him from moving, ten feet away. He stood there, raking his hand through his unruly hair, unsure of what to do. Fawner, who was standing by the doorway, frowned but didn't say anything. Another maid rushed up and swept away the mess.
Farla ~
The purple mermaid smiled to herself as she closed the bottle. Holding it level to her face, she peered into it. Within its containment, a clear liquid swirled. It was a complex changing potion made from Farla's secret cabinet. Only if the girl's true love says her real name, she will change back into a mermaid forever. Of course, this was the way it was suppose to work for Karla.
Smirking, she carefully set the bottle down upon the seaweed table and grabbed the envelope next to it. Tearing it open, she read it:
Dear Guest,
You are invited to the prince's homecoming ball. There, the prince shall choose a future bride. Please arrive on time to enter and you MUST have the invitation with you.
Sincerely,
The Royal Family
Karla ~
The only thing that she missed about being a princess were the balls. The dresses and dancing were her favorite! So whenever she was dusting or mopping, she would hum an old tune. One day, the prince heard the song and turned around. There, behind him, was the girl. She was gently dusting an old bookcase, standing on her tiptoes. Singing while she was working. The prince recognized the tune as an old romantic song. The strange thing was that commoners never heard it before, so how did the girl know?
Stepping beside the girl, he caught her when she fell off the stand. Quickly, the girl stood up and straightened. Staring sternly into his eyes, she asked why he was here.
"Little maid (Karla fumed at this), I was wondering if you'd like to come to my ball. Here's an invitation. Do try to come."
Karla stared strangely at the back of the prince as he exited the room.
A/N: Hehe, Karla's so clumsy… ^_^ I'm done with the sixth chapter!!!! Next chapter is the ball!!! Ok, read and review, REMEMBER THAT!!!
