Little Mermaid

Once Upon a December

I apolojize for not updating but I had many things needed to be done.

Here we go.

A year later

It was a year since Raven's disappearance. They asked Aqualad but he said he couldn't find her. Obviously that was a lie. He wanted Raven to have a normal life. He was in love with her when he first met her. He hid it pretty well. But Speedy got to her first. He should have said something. Speedy even knew he loved her. Speedy probably wanted to get back at him. But for what he did not know. As he was at the bay of Titans East Tower, Slade approached him.

"Hello fishboy."

Aqualad looked up and got into fighting stance.

"Easy. I have a propisition for you."

"What?" Aqualad asked.

"I'm glad you want to know."

Atlantis

Raven was so happy. He was now a senior at Atlantis High. She even had the hero of Atlantis. Yes Aqualad became her boyfriend. But now she didn't even know where he went all the time. It seems she lost all memory from the surface.She had no recollection of the surface whatsoever. All she knew was that the Leader of Atlantis stated it was forbidden. She was in the perfect world. When Aqualad came down he kissed her more passinately and lovingly and much longer than usual. Elle, Crystal, and Jessica thought it was odd he would do that for that long. After the kiss he swam away.

That was not like him. Raven thought he was depressed. After school, Aqualad told her to meet him at the Open Water Rockwall. Now that is a mouthful. Basically it was a rock wall a few miles out of Atlantis's border. Raven had an eerie feeling that Aqualad did not just want to talk if they were out of the boundries of the city. Aqualad came up to her with an old friend that Raven would alway's remember in a mini sub.

"Slade?" she said confused.

"Raven I'm sorry." Aqualad said his head low.

"Raven it's time I make you my servant." Slade said to her.

"That's your plan?"

"No I'm also going to ransome your life."

She looked at Aqualad in horror and disgust. "You told him where I was?"

"He threated to destroy Atlantis and everyone there."

"You could have consulted me first. You BASTERD!"

She jetted out from there but Aqualad grabbed the end of her tail. She forced her tail from him and swam as fast as possible to the surface. She burst from the water like a water angel as some saw.
She swam under a dock in a nearby city and took deep breaths. She was tired from swimming that fast. Her head turned to her right, and saw the bracelet that Aqualad gave her when they become a couple. In rage snacthed the bracelet off and threw back into the bay where it belonged. There she fell asleep upon the snowy beach. When she awoke he looked at herself in terror. She had a human body. She remembered a small bit that she was like this before. She tried to stand but wobbled a bit. But she could walk at least. She walked a bit and a man walked up to her. She turned to him and fell on the icy sidewalk now in the city.

"Are you alright. It seem's you haven't changed clothes in awhile."

"I need a new pair of clothes. I'm meeting some people is all. Problem is I don't have money."

"Here is a $100. Use it wisely."

"Sir I can't accept it." But the man insisted.

She went into a store and bought a tank top style shirt that had straps connecting at the back of her neck. Also it had a bunch of material in folds around the straps and on the top. It was really light baby blue close to white and showed an inch of her cleavage. She had bought a skirt that was mid thigh and was a blue tinted white. And she bought a pair of matching heels that had a strap across her toes. She had just enough to get her hair done. When came out her hair was in slight large curls, her bangs were the same framing her face beautifully. It was shoulderblade length and in a high ponytail. And she had raspberry lipgloss on. As she crossed the bay to the island she hoped that they could help. She got in with ease. No one was there. She touched a vase with bears with wings.

(A/N Raven sings right here like musical thing)

Raven:

Dancing bears,

Painted wings,

Things I almost remember,

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December.

Someone holds me safe and warm.

Horses prance through a silver storm.

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory...

(Instrumental interlude)

Someone holds me safe and warm.

Horses prance through a silver storm.

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory...

Far away, long ago,

Glowing dim as an ember,

Things my heart

Used to know,

Things it yearns to remember...

And a song

Someone sings

Once upon a December

She was at the couch when she heard someone.

"Guys I think someone's in there." She heard a group of people come through the door.

"RAVEN!"They shouted.

Raven ran from them Into the kitchen. She grabbed a knife and held them back with it. Beast boy grabbed her wrist and her eyes glowed white and she collapsed. She got back up and Starfire held arms at her sides and it happened again. Cyborg held her head and it happened a third time. She punched him and backed toward the door.

"What's going on?" she asked. The door soon opened and she turned.

"Raven!" Robin threw his arms around her and her eyes glowed again only longer. She suddenly fainted in his arms.
