Stella: Hi again! New chapter! Woo-Hoo!

Carry: Again, E.A. doesn't own the Little Mermaid.

Mary: We and other characters you don't recognize do belong to her.

Stella: You sound like we're slaves!

Carry: Aren't we?

Mary: And on to the story--

I felt no need to disobey mother. The fear in her eyes had scared me, and I knew that something bad was about to happen. I just didn't know what.

I sat down on my bed, and thought about all that had happened over the past two years, and all the ways I'd changed. My hair had grown longer, (it now reached my knees) and my face had matured, but really what had changed the most was my mind. Since I'd found out the secret I'd felt betrayed. If I'd ever trusted my mother,that trust was gone now. I knew Dad and Mother had more to their own stories, and I also knew there was little chance of them telling me. I wondered if this was one of those things.

My thoughts turned to Atlantica. I really hated it there. Grandfather was constantly telling me what to do, where to go, and how to behave. My aunts I was divided in liking. Atina I hated, she was just like Grand father with her rules and regulations. The rest of them babied me except for Adella, who I liked. She was nice to me, and acted more like the aunt of a 14-year-old than the aunt of a 2-year-old. She took me off to explore sunken ships and coves, like she used to do with Mother. I preferred doing that, or just swimming around with Tip and Dash doing nothing all day long, than in the palace listening to how to be a perfect mermaid.

As I was thinking this I noticed that the kingdom had become unnaturally quiet. I walked onto my balcony and saw that the entire kingdom was dark, there wasn't a single light lit. the palace, too, was strangely dark.

I heard a noise and turned. As I had expected, Dad and Mother were standing in the doorway.

"What's going on?" I asked, indicating the lightless kingdom.

"It's hard to explain," Mother said. "What you need to know is that there was anther sea-witch, Ursula and Morgana's brother Lucius. He attacked years before now, when I was four. Now he's coming back."

"I most certainly am." came a voice from behind, a voice that chilled my bones.

Oh, a mystery! Whose the voice?
Stella:Isn't it obvious it's L-
Carry:You'll ruin the story!
Yes, she will, again this was a little short but I need to get into the habit of writing. I'll try to post a couple chapters a week, so stay tuned!
