Disclaimer: I do not own any of the original The Little Mermaid or The Little Mermaid II characters. I do, however own characters of my own creation such as Christella.

Now, there's a teeny tiny request I have for you all.

REVIEW!

Last Time:

Melody -

Melody felt a sharp pain in her neck and the world went black. The mermaid with the bulky tail came from behind the tapestry, revealing a cavity. She smiled and went to get Darcy.

Christella -

"Hello Derek," she said seductively.

Chapter 10:

"Mariya?" Derek's was stunned. "Oh, Derek how I've missed you," she said dramatically and swam up to Derek and kissed him full on the lips.

Derek went rigid and looked to Christella in a silent plea. But slowly Derek started to kiss this 'Mariya' back.

Before Christella of them could do anything, Mariya had turned to her.

"Oh, hello. Sorry, I didn't notice you before. Are you Derek's younger sister or something?"

Christella's jaw dropped, pain clear in her eyes. She swam off before Derek could stop her.

Mariya turned back to Derek. "Now, where were we… Oh yes, kiss me," she demanded.

Derek looked as if he were suffering in some internal battle. He slowly shook his head and opened his mouth to say something but Mariya kissed him into silence instead.

Whenever he tried to say something, she kissed him. Derek was losing his resolve. "This lipstick really works…" she murmured to herself.

She was one of the richest mermaids in the ocean, after the royal family. The very expensive lipstick she was wearing had some ground Coercer Crystal in it.

"Now, kiss me," commanded Mariya once again. Derek blinked blearily, his eyes glazed. He swam to her and kissed her almost mechanically.

She threw him to the bed and landed on top of him. After placing his hands around her waist she resumed kissing him.

She would tell him what he had done, he would get guilty. Mariya suspected he would get dumped by that little mergirl anyway.

So, who would be left for him? Her, that's who.

Mariya had her old toy back, and she liked it.

ooOoo

Melody woke up in small stone cell with a heavy wooden door and some dead seaweed on the floor.

The first thing she noticed was her tail. The beautiful coral colour had been painted over with a shiny black.

She was oblivious to the shadowy merman floating in the corner for a while. A small scream escaped her lips when she noticed him.

He threw here a small black bundle and said before leaving the room, "Put that on, I'll be back in a few moments."

Melody changed into the outfit hastily, obeying thoughtlessly. It was a long-sleeve midriff top with a low V-neck.

It clung to her skin exactly, so it was revealing in more ways than one. The merman with the blood red tail returned moments later.

He put a metal ring around the bottom of her tail that was attached to a sort of lead. "Follow me," he said coldly.

They ended up in a room with a giant dining or conference table. Lavish tapestries covered the walls.

At the end of the room was an inconspicuous door. He led her into the room.

"If this bell rings," he said, pointing to an old ships bell, "I will require you to attend to me either in a conference or a formal meal of some sort. You will not speak, but you will do as I say."

"And what is I don't." said Melody in a sudden streak of boldness. He blinked at her. "Then you will be demoted to a maid in the kitchens," he replied in a soft, dangerous voice.

Melody shuddered, still as vain as ever. He smiled and said, "How rude of me, I haven't even introduced myself. I am Darcy."

ooOoo

Christella swam out of Derek's street as fast as she could. She stop in the busy main street and lost herself in the busy noise.

She spotted a huge pink poster with a few exited merpeople around her age gathered by it.

Christella swam up, curious, and looked at the poster. Her heat skipped a beat.

There on the poster was Mariya wearing something that even Melody wouldn't wear with two similar looking mermaids with sea stars on their shell tops.

The poster read:

Mariya and the Merstars, Back from Ocean Tour! They've been all over the Pacific, Indian and Arctic Ocean. They've been to the Caribbean and Coral Sea. They've been to the Mediterranean and Arabian Sea. They have even been to the Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of Mexico.

But they couldn't keep away, because now they are back in their home town of Atlantica! They are performing at 30 FREE concerts and you are invited! Get your tickets NOW!

Christella read it over. She, Christella the shy princess, new to the sea and daughter of a human, was up against the most famous mermaid in the sea.

Christella swam home. That night she cried herself to sleep.

ooOoo

Melody woke to the sound of the ringing bell. She got up and waited as the door slowly opened.

She swam into the room with her head held high. She could sense the eyes of the merman at the table with Darcy looking her up and down.

Another older mermaid handed her a plate of sea grapes and pointed to Darcy. Darcy opened his mouth and Melody popped a sea grape in it.

Melody served Darcy for a while, not listening to what the two mermen said. Then Darcy said, "I must go to the bathroom, Melody, serve Dakar until I return." He gestured to the merman he had been talking with.

Dakar was a hairy merman with yellowed teeth. Melody swam around his side of the table.

As soon as Darcy left the room, Dakar got up. Melody swam back a little in surprise, dropping the tray.

He kept coming toward her and she kept backing away until she reached the wall. He pressed up against her kissing her as her ran his hands all over her body. She struggled in vain.

Suddenly he stopped and sat down. Melody kept herself pressed against the wall. A few seconds later, Darcy entered the room.

He looked at her and she could tell he knew what had just transpired. "You may return to your room now," said Darcy quietly.

Melody did so as she realised that the true purpose of her summoning had been fulfilled. Entertainment for Darcy's guests.

Review! Sorry it took so long for me to put it up!
