Chapter 7
"Come on, Ariel, just one little note." Sebastian complained. Ariel rolled her eyes and took a deep breath. "La la la la laaaa, there you go, Sebastian, I sung. Now can I go?" "Ariel, you know that your family needs this concert!" "Why? I mean, I love singing with my family but I want to live my life!"
"Ariel, you know that you're like my daughter, and I wouldn't make you do this if you were my daughter." "Then why make me?" "Don't tell your father, but the reason we are doing this is because he wants the money to go for the researchers that are looking for a cure for cancer." "Breast cancer?" "Yes." "But I thought he never wanted-""Ariel, the only reason your father hates people so much is because-""They're too lazy to find a cure, I know." "Ariel."

Athena lied in the hospital bed, weak and tired, while her seven beautiful daughters gathered around her and her youngest on her lap. "
"Athena, I love you." Triton whispered. Attina shed a tear, knowing what would happen soon. "Attina, don't cry, I'll be fine." "Mommy, don't leave us." "I'm not going anywhere." Athena took a deep breath, and coughed. "Ariel, go with daddy." Her daughter nodded and went to her father.
Mommy, please sing that song that you sing to us every night!" Ariel exclaimed. Her mother gave a cough and smiled a weak smiled.
"Oh, the waves roll low
And the waves roll high
And so it goes
Under the bright blue
Endless Sky
Waves try to measure
The days that we treasure
Wave hello
And wave goodbye"
Athena kissed each of her daughters a kiss on the cheek, and told them she was going to sleep.
Ariel shed a tear, not wanting to remember anything else. "Sebastian, I miss her so much." "I know, we all do." "Alright, fine, I'll do it." Sebastian smiled and got up.
Ariel got up when her phone buzzed. It was an unknown number. "Hello?" "Ariel?" "Daddy?" "I need help!" a person laughed in the background. "You should've taken the deal." The call ended. "URSULA!" She yelled. What was she going to do? She couldn't leave because she had concert practice, and she didn't know what to do. "Eric!" She cried out.
"Sebastian, we gotta go!" "Why?" "Ursula has my dad!"She ran out of her house and thought of Eric's house. The one with the tulips, she thought. She ran until she reached Eric's house. She knocked on the door, and Eric came out. "Ariel, what are you doing here?" "Ursula, Ursula tried making a deal with me that if I get my father to quit his job, she would get him to let us be together, I said no, and, and now she has my dad and I don't know what she'll do with him! Oh, Eric I'm so scared, I don't know what will happen, and-" "Ariel, calm down, we'll go to the coast guard headquarters and I'll call the cops and we'll go and save your dad!" She sniffled. "You mean it?" "Of course! Let's go!" They got in the car, and Eric drove as fast as he could.
