A Late update yet again. I want to update at least once a month, but then life gets in the way. I also have a low attention span, but this story will not be dropped. It will just take some time to get the chapters out. I'm also changing the title to Scary Tales so I won't have to limit it to just Grimm tales.

I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Hans Christian Andersen

The Little Mermaid

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Sora who lived on Destiny Islands. All his life he dreamed of meeting a mermaid. As he grew older his friends told him that mermaids were no more real than Santa Claus, or fairies. But he was determined to prove them all wrong.

It was late and he should really be at home studying for his finals tomorrow. 'I won't pass them anyway, so why bother?' He put his hands behind his head and lay down on the sands of the beach, the sound of the waves soothing him.

"When you walk away you don't hear me say

Please, oh baby don't go

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight

It's hard to let it go."

"Huh!" Sora immediately sat up. "Is somebody out there?" He asked as he approached the water. Right there behind, that rock he could see her. Red hair like the sunset and dark blue eyes like the sea. "Whoa." No one in the town looked like that. He walked until the water was up to his knees. The girl in the water retracted further behind the rock. "Wait! Please don't go! I won't hurt you, I promise." The girl didn't move back out but she didn't back away either. "My name's Sora, what's yours?"

"Kairi." She answered back hesitantly.

"Are you from around here?" he asked. She thought for a moment and then shook her head no. "Are you lost? Do you need help?" he moved further into the water and held out his hand to her.

"I can't come out. You should go before it's too late."

"What do you mean." Reluctantly the girl grabbed hold of the rock and pulled herself up. The boy blushed when he saw she wore no clothing but, his embarrassment was quickly replaced with shock and excitement when he saw the girl's long scaly tail. "You're a mermaid!" she sadly nodded her head. Sora moved to where he was waist deep in the water, he didn't notice the water bubble behind the rock.

"Now that you know what I am, you should go." Kairi said sliding back into the water.

"But I've always wanted to meet a mermaid, and now here you are." Sora moved closer to her.

"You're not afraid of me?" the brunette shook his head no. "Well then you're a fool." She turned away from him and her tail brushed his stomach. The boy grabbed hold of it. Kairi flinched at the contact, but relaxed as he began to stroke her tail up and down. Her tail was soft despite the scales on them. He reached further up and touched her torso. He could feel gills on the sides of her waist. "I'm so sorry." He looked at her in confusion and then yelped when he felt something with sharp teeth bite into his leg. The young boy looked down to see another mermaid, this one with blonde hair tearing the flesh from his leg. Removing his hands from Kairi he swung down and whacked the blonde mermaid in the head. She pulled away from him with a hiss. Again he felt himself being bitten. This time a mermaid with short black hair was biting into him, followed by a mermaid with blue hair.

Now he understood what was happening. Kairi had baited him out here to become a meal for her sisters. He looked at her as the light begun to fade from his eyes. The last thing he saw was the tears pouring down her face.

"I'm sorry Kairi, but it had to be done. We must eat human flesh every year to survive." Aqua tried to consul her sister who only nodded her head and turned away from the corpse of the kind boy.
