I'm so sorry I havent updated in a while!!!! School work is getting harder now! I'll try and update two chapters a week! Review PLEASE!!!

Nicko's POV

Stillness.

Nothing moved and nothing spoke.

Was I dead?

Oh Goddess please please spare me!

I whispered a pray under my breath.

"Ah! The drowning sailor awakens!"

I opened my eyes.

I was in sort of a glass room with no door, no windows and no toilet.

Crap. I would need to go sometime.

I turned to the voice who called me.

But I saw no one.

"Who's there?" I whispered.

"Come to the glass corners.." The voice called.

I did as instructed moving slowly and carefully just in case this was a trap.

I looked out of the glass and was amazed at what I saw.

A underwater world was around me. Kelp grew like grass and fish surrounded every corner of the sea I could see.

In the distance was a huge building, though I already knew what it was.

A underwater castle.

And Leia was sitting in front of my glass room smiling.

She looked exactly like I remembered her.

Lovely.

Her green hair had grown longer and her pink and purple scales flashed as if sparkles had been thrown on them. She had on a top that seemed to be made out of golden seaweed and decorated with shells and her hair decorated with starfish.

I stared.

Leia noticed and smiled.

"Well Jack I am way different than I used to be aren't I?"

I shook my head out of this daze and glared at the mermaid.

"Where is my wife and son! What did you do with them?!"

Leia smiled and I dreaded for the worst.

"Don't worry Jack. Celia is at your ocean cottage. And my sister is picking up your son right now. They'll be fine."

I doubted that.

"What are you going to do them!" I yelled.

Leia grinned and shook her fingers at me.

"Now don't yell. That won't get us no where. Celia is under my spell. She is asleep and she won't wake up until I take it off her. Mark will be brought to the ocean cottage and will be taught the way of a fisherman. On one condition." She added.

"What's the one condition?" I asked.

"You can never see them again and you have to marry me. I'm next in line for the throne and we can be the king and queen of the ocean."

I gaped.

"And in return I won't kill, harm or blast your family and erase their memorys of you."

"Why?" I demanded.

Leia shrugged. "Easy cover. You were a fisherman. Lost at sea. Never came home..Celia had to raise Mark by herself ect." She added.

"I won't marry you! That's not fair! I loved you because I thought you were kind and sweet but your not! You're...you're...evil." I shuttered for the effect.

Leia shrugged again. "So? I'm in power. I'll give you a week to decided. If you don't marry me you'll die her and I'll kill your family. If you marry me, I'll turn you into a mermaid and we will live happily ever after. Take your pick."

I glared at her, my light brown hair flying in my eyes.

"NEVER!!"

Leia turned red and her eyes flashed.

"One week. You might just change your mind when you see the death of your wife and child!"

With that Leia swam off.

"Coral and Bubble watch over him! And if you do anything I assure you they won't be coming back alive!"

Two guards with long pointed spears glared at Leia.

They had to listen to her.

They turned around and looked at me.

Both were mermaids. The taller one had short red hair and a orange tail. Armor was on every part of her body. She gave me a really mean look.

The other glanced at me. She had bright blue hair which was long and curly that swirled around her. She regarded me with interest.

I glanced at her elvish face.

She looked young, fifteen at the most and she was curious.

I smiled at her trying to win her over.

However that just did the oppisite.

The mermaid seemed frightened and drew away from the glass room. She glanced at the other mermaid and turned around, pretending not to see me.

I frowned at sat on the ground of the room.

Glass as well. Looking up I saw a huge white shark float over me. It lashed at the glass but a shout from the tall, red haired mermaid made it stop.

I shivered and wished more than ever that Mark and Celia were here with me.
