Cruella sat in her car beside the shore and leaned her head against the steering wheel, it'd been ten days since Ursula left and it didn't hurt any less then it had the first day. Glancing out the passenger window she watched the wave's crash against the shore, dragging out the new tide, slowly her eyes grew heavy and as she was pulled into an uneasy rest Cruella heard the sound of a melody present to her only in dreams.
May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
Letting out a jagged sigh Cruella surrendered herself to her tortured dreams of a past out of reach.

Quietly singing the next verse Ursula walked across the beach toward the sleeping woman's car.
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Standing beside the car Ursula gazed at her former lover through the window, "I don't see why you have to make this so hard for us." She turned and leaned against the car, trying to displace the weight she felt rested upon her shoulders, to rid her body of the guilt. "If you would just stop coming back, or forget me, it'd make it so much easier for me to forget you."
Watching the sea Ursula thought over her time back with her father, of her time back in the oceans, of being back home. Except that's not what it felt like, none of it felt the way she'd expected, the water felt the same as she'd remembered but it wasn't home. She no longer felt that comfort Ursula once did, and yet staring back through that window she did, "Why can't you just leave me alone? I don't deserve this…" She turned back out to the sea, "You don't deserve this."
Ursula carefully opened the passenger side door, and leaned toward Cruella. Catching the scent of the French perfume she insisted on wearing Ursula smiled a fragile turn of her lips; she remembered a time when it would take her days to remove the scent of that perfume from her clothes and sheets. Leaning into the car she grazed her lips across Cruella's raised cheek, "You don't deserve to suffer," she whispered, "I don't want you to suffer, I don't want to feel this pain anymore."
Ursula stepped away from the car and closed the door, as she treaded back to the water Ursula continued her song allowing her tears to finally fall now that she was on land.
May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just wait for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay
Peering over her shoulder she hummed hoping her words would carry with the salted air, "I'll come back for you; if not for me then I'll come for you." Ursula dove into the water leaving the other woman to lie alone in her unease.
"I'll be back"
So yeah here ya go, enjoy that
The song go to Secret Gardens, it's called Sleepsong, and if you haven't heard it you should probs listen to it.
Sorry for not updating in forever, but here's this, and the next chapter will probably be the last chapter.
