Day 3

Five years, it'd been five years since they fell into this world so much unlike their own. Five years that they had to try and create new lives, try and overcome this new obstacle that had been thrust upon them. It was in these five years that Cruella found she could fit in quite well with this money hungry, capitalist society, and by their third year she had worked her way into a Politics office and thrived on the lies she sold. Lies which afforded her and Ursula enough of an income to live quite comfortably and in this comfort they found something else had begun to flourish between the two.

It was this stirring of emotion and pure lust which had driven them to do what Cruella had been thinking upon for some time. And it was this opportunity which led Cruella to slowly wake the next sunrise to be met with the russet skin of the sea witch beside her. Cruella glanced further down and came to the conclusion that it was indeed only the sheet that was left to cover Ursula's body, as well as her own fair tinted skin. Whilst allowing her eyes to roam back up the woman's feature's Cruella brought her hand from beneath the sheet and laid it upon Ursula's shoulder and began drawing nonsensical patterns upon the unblemished skin.

Gradually Ursula began to open her eyes, drowsily glancing toward Cruella only to be met with the intense stare of the pale iced eyes of the woman. "Didn't anyone ever tell you it's rude to stare?" Ursula quipped at the woman who was so carefully teasing her mind.

"Didn't anyone ever tell you how rude it is to be as exquisite and beautiful as you are, darling?" Cruella cast Ursula a teasing smirk and proceeded to expand the range of her dancing fingers across the woman's back.

It seemed today the sea was in Cruella's favor as she walked the beach, her heels in hand, the air wasn't as burdened by the smell of salt as it'd been the day before and the sun hadn't begun to set, meaning the sea was just a sea for now. There wasn't much that reminded her of the woman who kept leaving her in her dreams, the woman who'd left her in reality as well, but the sand as it shifted beneath her feet reminded her of the times they had sat on a beach before they were cursed, before they were tasked with happy endings.

And as the memory of their first time admitting that perhaps there was something growing between them, other than a desire for revenge and power, fluttered through her mind Cruella was able to face the sea and pretend that Ursula hadn't left her, not yet at least, not then. Not back when she had finally begun to explain why her heart skipped around the other woman and why she had so much faith in her dreams, in their dreams.

Yet the precarious thing about memories was is that they went away, she could play them over and over in her head, but eventually they would leave her too and she would once again be alone. Alone with her pain and her grief, alone to watch as her emotions began to turn upon each other and make her hate the woman who'd left, but for now she had her memories and she had her love, but she was no longer had that hope. Cruella admiring the ocean began her plea for Ursula, "I can hardly remember what it was that separated us, what caused you to walk away the first time and refuse to speak to me, I wish I did though, darling. I wish I could go back and change the past make you stay, fix whatever it was that weakened our loyalty the first time, keep myself from marrying those three idiotic men afterword, and losing track of you for so long. I think that maybe if I could it would have made it harder for you to just walk away from us, You and I, for a second time." Cruella began to once again walk down the beach, before turning and heading back the way she'd come.

As she walked a curious thought pushed through her mind, and she walked closer to the water, "Ursula there were times I thought of you after you left, and some nights I dreamed that it was you beside me, but this time I hope that I won't because when you don't come back it will ruin me, everything I've made of myself will be gone." In that moment Cruella knew what would happen to her, she would dream of love lost, she would remember times that had past, and she'd imagine future's that would never happen, and eventually the pain and anger would crush her. The suffering would force her to hate the woman who'd abandoned her, and no matter how hard she tried the memories would fade, but Cruella also knew that as much as she would hate the woman she would never be able to stop loving her fully, there would also be some place in her blackened, broken, and jagged heart that would reach for Ursula, and it would be that part which would cost her the life she was living. "But what I really want now, Darling, is for you to come back to me. Come back now, or come back soon, it doesn't really matter as long as one day I wake up and it really is you beside me and not the phantom of you."

Placing her shoes back on Cruella rounded on her toe and morosely walked back to her car without sparing another glance toward the sea, missing the splash created by the woman diving back under the waters.
