I apologize for the long wait hopefully this will make up for it. There are two chapters in here, my way of saying sorry for the long long... long wait.

Stephanie's POV

"AHHHHHH! This is useless. This girl is better a hide and seek than she was three years ago." I shouted as I looked over all sides of the ship. Trevor grabbed my arms and made me stop moving.

"Stephanie. Calm down, if you're freaking out then you are not going to see her."

"I should have stayed at the palace in case she came back." Trevor laughed. "What's so funny?"

"Because you know very well, you would have worried yourself sick if you had stayed at the palace. If Prince Eric had heard you he probably would laughed himself into a coma." I slapped him on the shoulder and continued to look around.

"We need to find her. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to live with myself and Ariel and Eric will probably have me and Cindy executed."

"Well, we can't have a beautiful girl like you executed so let's find the princess. I made a promise to you and I don't intend on breaking it."

"I should've told you not to make promises you can't keep. We'll be lucky if we find Melody alive." I leaned over the side of the side resting on the arms. Trevor turned her around and looked into my eyes.

"Don't talk like that. You can't lose hope. Right now, Prince Eric needs to you keep hoping that she'll be found alive. To be completely honest, I think he's lost all hope." I glanced up to where he was manning the ship.

"I should go talk to him." I started walking but Trevor grabbed my arm once again.

"I've tried talking to him. He doesn't want people talking to him, he wants us finding his daughter." I gently took my arm back.

"You haven't know him since he was in diapers." I said and started towards Eric again. We better find Melody and FAST!

Cindy's POV

"Swim back as fast as you can and tell my father. I'll try and find Melody." Ariel told me and Flounder.

"Oh but if that old sea witch is there; then there's that mean little shark, and then those man-rays come and then she takes her tentacles and they come stick to your face and and… phew, uh uh, no way you're going in there alone." I smiled and was shocked at the same time. Was this the same little fish that didn't want to into a sunken pirate ship just a couple years ago?

"But Flounder if we both go, who's going to tell Daddy where Morgana's lair is?"

"Hey what's all the whispering about? Is Melody around here? Did you find her yet? If she-" Scuttle started yelling as he flew down to us. Ariel grabbed his beak and pulled him down.

"Scuttle, get down and be quiet. Wait a minute, now Scuttle can get help." She looked us with such pride. Flounder and I shared a look then gave her the same look that just screamed, 'you're kidding right?'. "Scuttle, I need you to pay very close attention." She told him. He mumbled an agreement because she still had his beak in her hand.

"We're doomed."

"Okay, here's what should happen. I'll go tell the king, Scuttle you go tell Eric, and Ariel and Flounder go in there and find Melody." I told everyone.

"Sounds like a plan to me." Flounder said. Ariel nodded and let go of Scuttle's beak. Scuttle took off and I dove into the water and headed for Atlantica. I swam faster than I ever had in my life. I could only hope that Ariel and Flounder would be okay.

Stephanie's POV

I went up to talk to Eric and he just stared out into the distance. I placed a hand on his shoulder and he didn't even acknowledge it.

"Why are you looking for her?"

"Because you need looking after too apparently. Eric, you haven't let this spot in three days. Go down below deck and get some rest." I tried to persuade him.

"I'll rest when Melody's safe again. As long as she's missing, she isn't safe Steph, and you know this."

"Yes, I know that, but you need to take care of yourself as well. I get it, she's your daughter and your worried about her, but what good to her are you if you're so tired you can't see straight."

"I'm not that tired I think the adrenaline is still running through my veins." Suddenly, the winds seemed to pick up. "What the hell?"

"I don't even want to know what the hell is going on. If my mind goes there, I won't like where I go." I looked up and saw Scuttle coming towards us. "Hey Scuttle."

"Ariel found Morgana's lair. She told me to come and get you guys, Cindy went to go get the King, and Ariel and Flounder went into the lair." This was best Scuttle has ever spoken, but now wasn't the time to think of that.

"WHAT?" Eric screamed. "Scuttle, lead us to that lair right now. Nothing stops us. Get ready men!" He yelled down. I ran down to help and came back up once everything was in place. "Stephanie, keep a close eye out for them."

"Gotcha." I looked out and soon all I could see was ice. No, my mind wasn't going there.

Cindy's POV

Once I got to the palace I could barely breathe. Nothing was going to stop me from getting the King though. I swam full speed into the throne room.

"Your highness! Ariel found Morgana's lair. We have to hurry though. Scuttle went to get Eric, I swan back here to get you, and Ariel and Flounder went into the lair."

"Get my guards. We're leaving now." I swam to get the guards and they all lined up behind the carriage. "Get in Cindy, you rest of a while. Just tell us which way to go." I nodded and began giving him directions. Adrenaline was still coursing through my veins so that gave me a bit a boost. Not much it's still something. I knew we were close when I saw ice start to appear on the horizon. I saw a ship through the fog and knew that had to be Eric's. No one else would come out here unless they absolutely had too.

"Cindy, you sure this is the right way."

"It's slightly different upon water but I know this is it. This is same route Ariel and I took the first time. Trust me your majesty." Trust me. Those are the exact words I told Eric and Ariel when Melody was born. I told them to trust me that I would watch over her. They trusted me and I let them down. King Triton must have seen my face drop because he started talking to me.

"Remember when Ariel ran away from home when she was fourteen?" I nodded to him. "Well, I had thought I let her down when she was hurt by Marina. It wasn't my fault though, I was so struck with grief that I didn't think like that. She was my responsibility and she got hurt in my care. Most importantly though, I felt like I let Athena down." I snapped my head up. King Triton hadn't mentioned Queen Athena since she was killed. "I thought that if she was alive this never would happened. I blamed myself. I thought that this was proof that I couldn't raise seven daughters by myself. Sure, Attina helped me, but she shouldn't have to. I was their father, I was to take care of them. My point is Cindy, don't blame yourself for this. There is no way, you could have prevented this. The most you could have done is only postpone it.

"If I hadn't helped her sneak out this whole time, she wouldn't have felt so confinent to go out to the ocean… sir."

"Maybe, but she trusted you. She knew that she would fine. I just hoping that Ariel has things under control."Just then, the ground started to shake and from the ice cap rose a giant throne.

"ALL HAIL QUEEN MORGANA!" And a green glow came from the throne.

"There." King Triton snapped the reins and the dolphins all went faster.
