Chapter 8
Relief washed over Flounder as he saw King Triton. He began to tell the King what had happened to Mai and about the shell of the ocean's he finished speaking the sea king spoke. "That shell is dangerous, lad. Whoever possesses it will have unlimited power over everything."
Why is it that every bad person is after power?! thought Flounder angrily. He sighed. "Well, we can't let Mia stay with this guy. He could kill her! If this shell is the only way to save her thenhe can have the power."
"Flounder, perhaps there another way to do this," Ariel said gently. The boy sighed, kicked the some sand, and went inside the palace.
...
Mia closed her eyes as she took her necklace off. She didn't want to take it off, but she knew she had to. It was necessary; it was time to act. She looked at the leaf that was in her hand and wrote something on it. "I hope this works," she murmured under her breath.
"There you are!" Wyrd's voice said behind her. He grabbed her neck and she drifted into unconscieousness.
...
Flounder tiptoed down the stairs. He was so quiet a mouse couldn't here him. He opened the door and quickly yet silently closed it behind him. "Sorry everyone but I have to do this," he whispered in the night air.
He took off but he was unaware that a crab was following him.
...
Gentle sun rays shone throughout King Eric's kingdom yet the brightest rays were in castle palace in the King's and Queen's room.
A loud knock awoke Eric and Ariel from their peaceful sleep. The two royals sighed and got up to answer the door.
"Your majesties, I am sorry for interrupting your sleep but Flounder is gone," Carlottte told them. The maid had grown quite fond of Ariel's friend and Eric's cousin. She was worried sick about them.
"What?!" They shouted at the same time. They took a deep breath.
"Carlotte, get the guards! We have to get Flounder before he does something stupid," Eric told her.
"I am coming with you." Ariel told her husband.
"No, your not. I don't want you or the baby to get hurt. You have to stay here," the king told his wife.
Ariel hugged him. "Bring him home."
"I will." He gave her a kiss and headed to the door.
...
Mia could feel the pain creeping through her body as the sun's rays touched her skin. She let out a scream.
Wyrd sighed. "I told you that the spell didn't last a full day. Now it is time for you to go back to the water."
The girl backed up. Her captor sighed and snapped his figures. She landed in a lake.
The pain vanished and the waves began to turn into bright, beautiful colors. A single tear fell from her face she was no longer human. She was a fish!
I hope Flounder finds my necklace and the leaf, she thought.
...
"Sebastien, what are you doing here?" Flounder asked.
"I came to help you, mon. Now come on lets find Mia," the crab replied. The two friends marched onward unaware of the adventure that would lie ahead.
So what do you think? Sorry that it took so long for me to update I was having a major writer's block plus my computer had been acting weird. So I am sorry.
