Chapter 6: Adgar Finds Out

Sebastian's POV

I came to the entrance of the throne room. I looked in. Adgar was playing with a flower.

"Let me see, who could the lucky merman be?" he said. He then looked up. It looked like he saw me

He cleared his throat. "Come in, Sebastian."

I sighed in relief. It didn't seem that Adgar knew. "Just go with it." I said.

I walked up to the throne.

"Yes, your majesty."

"Sebastian. I'm concerned about Elsa. Have you noticed she's been acting peculiar lately?"

"Oh peculiar?" I asked.

"You know mooning about, daydreaming, singing to herself. You haven't noticed?"

"Well, no, your majesty. She seems normal to me." I replied.

"Sebastian?"

"Yes, your majesty?"

Adgar motioned me to come over. I swam up to his arm rest.

"I know you've been keeping something from me."

"Keeping something?"

"About Elsa?"

My courage was starting to wain. "Elsa?"

"In love?" Adgar said.

"Why, yes, your majesty. She's in love." I lied, hoping to be off the hook.

"Wonderful. Now Sebastian, tell me, who is this merman?"

I started to get more scared. "Well your majesty, there are so many fish in the sea, it could be anyone."

"But you know of course. You're her caretaker."

My legs started shaking. "Yes I am."

"Then do you know? Mmm. Tell me his name."

That was the last straw. I grabbed his beard. "I'm so sorry Sir! I really did try to stop her! I know how much you hate humans, I tried to tell her! But she wouldn't listen!"

"Humans?" Adgar then jumped out of his throne, red faced and trident glowing. "WHAT ABOUT HUMANS!?"

I then realized I did it again. "Humans?" I chuckled nervously. "Who said anything about humans?"

Adgar grabbed me and pulled me to the throne. I got ready to spill the beans. Again.

Elsa's POV

I followed Olaf and Anna to my Grotto. I quickly opened the door with my magic.

"Come on guys. Why can't you tell me what this is all about?"

"You'll see. It's a surprise." Olaf said.

We swam in to the Grotto. I then saw it.

"Oh my. Oh my goodness."

It was the statue of Jack. The one he got from North.

"Guys, you're the best!" I said as I hugged Anna and Olaf.

"What you did was so romantic!" Anna said. She squealed with delight.

"It looks just like him. It even has his dreamy eyes!" I said as I swam up to it.

I giggled. "Why Jack, you look so handsome today. You want to dance?" I bowed. "Of course."

I started dancing around the statue. It felt like he was actually here. I spun around. Everything was as it was supposed to be. I had Jack, Anna, Olaf, my collection, Sebastian, my father…

My Father!

"Daddy!" I stopped.

Olaf went and hid. Anna just stood there.

"Anna, get out. I need to speak with your sister."

"But Daddy!"

"I'll deal with you later! Now go!"

Anna sadly swam out.

Sebastian looked up to my father. "Your majesty, I beg you, don't do anything you'll regret. Triton overreacted with Ariel."

"SILENCE CRAB! I'M NOT TRITON! I AM ADGAR, HIGH KING OF THE OCEAN. You're lucky I didn't kill you."

Sebastian shrunk into his shell. Dad then faced me.

"Your grandfather was a reasonable merman. He set certain rules. Now I expect those rules to be obeyed."

"But, Dad, I…"

"Is it true you rescued two humans from drowning?"

"Daddy I had to…"

"Contact between the human world and the mer world is strictly forbidden! Elsa, you know that! Everyone knows that!"

"They would have died."

"Then you should have let them die. Two less humans to worry about."

"You don't even know them!"

"Know them? I don't have to know them? They're all the same. Spineless, Savage harpooning fish-eaters incapable of any feeling whatsoever."

I faced my father, making sure to protect Jack. "You're wrong! They are amazing beings. They make such amazing and wonderful items. Ariel saw that!"

"Yes, Ariel did see this and it led her to her death!" Dad snapped back.

"How can you think you're better then them? Ariel and I see the same thing. They're just like us. Why do you treat them like dirt!?"

"Because that's what fish eaters are. Scum on the ground!"

"They're more then that. Prince Jack has to go through…"

"Don't you dare mention that human!" Dad said as he looked at Sebastian. "Sebastian told me everything! How you've grown fond of this human. How naïve are you, Elsa? He's nothing but a monster. A simple minded monster, incapable of any feeling whatsoever!"

"Don't you dare say that about him!" I said still guarding the statue. "He's been through so much…"

"I don't care what he's been through. He's a spineless savage human!"

"Daddy, I love him!"

I quickly covered my mouth. I couldn't believe I said that. But it was true. I did love Jack.

Sebastian looked scared. Dad's face was bright red.

"No! Have you lost your senses completely? He's a human! You're a mermaid!"

"I don't care."

"So help me, Elsa! I will not lose you to this nonsense! And if this is the only way to make sure of that, So be it!"

Dad's trident glowed white. I realized what he was doing.

"Daddy no!"

Dad started blasting everything in the room. Destroying everything. Everything I worked so hard to collect.

"DADDY STOP IT!" I shouted as I swam at him, only to give him a clear shot at Jack's statue. He aimed right at it.

"DADDY, NO!"

He shot it at full power. The statue exploded. There was nothing left. I couldn't take it. I just felt to the floor and started to cry.

"Elsa, I'm sorry." I heard Sebastian say.

"Go away." I said.

I just stayed there, crying because my dad just shattered my heart.

Looks like Sebastian couldn't keep it in. He let it go.(pun intended)

Just wanted to clarify something if you were confused. Ariel is still alive. Adgar just told his Kingdom she's dead.

Let me know what you think about this chapter.
