Piper literally froze, oh no, this was really bad and before she knew it, she dove under water, and in the midst of just try to get out of sight, her tail raised up in the air behind her and she disappeared beneath the water's surface. She went as fast as her fin would taken her, her arms at her side, her hair whipping through the water behind her and she didn't look back. Within moments, she reached the beautiful city. With her chest rising up and down she made her way back into the palace. She placed a hand on her chest as she looked around, thankfully the palace seemed empty during this time of the day, but was cut off as she heard a voice say, "And where have you been, Piper?"
I can see
when
you stay low nothing happens
does it feel right?
Late at night
things I thought I put behind me
haunt my mind
I just
know there's no escape
now once it sets its eyes on you
but I
won't run, have to stare it in the eye
Piper turned her head immediately, having been frightened just a bit when her gaze set on her older brother, she rolled her eyes. Atem had his arms crossed, waiting for her answer but said, "you look tired, been somewhere out of the kingdom?" Piper glared at him and said, "I don't think that's any of your business" "Oh really, it will be father's business, when I tell him" Atem smirked at her and Piper growled and swam toward him saying, "you wouldn't dare" "Oh, well you see, I would" he laughed at her. "But what makes you think he'll believe you, after your little incident with the guard" Piper then smirked right back at him.
Stand my ground, I
won't give in
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close
my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone
else will
stand my ground
Atem's own smirk then disappeared and turned into a frown and said to her, "It seems I'll just have to take that chance now won't I?" "Bastard" Piper growled to him, only making him laugh and said, "So sorry, but it's about time you got in trouble, miss goody good." And with that said, Atem turned from her and headed towards the thrown room. Now, Piper was surely screwed. She sighed and turned towards her own room, deciding to wait in there for now.
It's all around
getting stronger, coming closer
into my world
I can feel
that it's time for me to face it
can I take it?
Though
this might just be the ending
of the life I held so dear
but
I won't run, there's no turning back from here
It had been maybe an half an hour before Piper looked up to see her father burst into her room. So, he had believed Atem, who just happened to be standing behind her father. Piper herself was sitting on her bed and she turned her gaze to her fuming father, who then started to yell at her. He pointed out many times no one was allowed to go to the surface, and that she had, the only thing that really saved her is Atem couldn't prove that she had been seen and once her father left, Atem disappeared from sight, and Piper herself was forbidden to leave the palace.
Stand my ground, I
won't give in
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close
my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone
else will
stand my ground
But this wasn't enough to stop Piper, of course, she was braver then Atem, who seemed to just stay in his room. She, however, swam out her bedroom window, and as quietly, and swiftly as she could, she left the kingdom of Atlantis once again. The most reason is because she wanted to see that strange man again, curiosity over took the young mermaid. Willingly she broke the surface yet again, her hair sticking to her face but she quickly removed it as she scanned the shore, but it was then she heard, "so, you have been to the surface" and she spun around, seeing Atem smirking at her.
Stand my ground, I
won't give in (I won't give in)
I won't give up (I won't give
up)
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and
hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground,
I won't give in
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close
my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone
else will
stand my ground
