Disclaimer I do not own the Disney version of the little Mermaid or Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid. This is just a story for fun.
Ariel and Crystallina went back into the castle looking for James. They went to a balcony over looking the sea and found James talking with Mariah.
"Mariah...I just don't know what to do. I like Crystallina...and I'm grateful she saved my life, but the feelings I have for...her aren't quite love." Said James.
"Love is complicated. You...just have to follow your heart. I'm sure...you'll figure this out." Said Mariah as she put a comforting hand on James's shoulder.
"You are very wise. Thank you. I need to find Crystallina...and explain my feelings for her." Said James.
Crystallina watched James and Crystallina exchange words, she saw the look in their eyes and saw that they did indeed love one another. Crystallina couldn't bare the thought of killing James in front of a person that loved him. Crystallina stared at the magical sword in, her hands. She saw her reflection in it and knew what she had to do. Crystallina stepped out onto the balcony with the sword in her hands. Mariah saw it and let out a gasp. James stepped forward to shield Mariah.
"Crystallina, what..I said before...I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to say. Those things. I know..how you feel about me. I like...you and I thank you for saving my life, but I don't think I love you like that. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings and if you hate me, I will take any form of vengeance, you wish have. But please don't harm Mariah, she is innocent." Said James as he approached Crystallina.
Crystallina looked at James with sadness, before raising the sword and pointed it at her own chest. Crystallina closed her eyes and thrusted the sword forward expecting to feel the cold blade pierce, her heart. Instead Crystallina felt the blade abruptly stop and felt something drip onto, her arm. Crystallina opened her eyes and saw that James had stopped the blade by grabbing it with one if his hands making him bleed.
"Crystallina...I know your in pain, but taking your...own life is not the answer. You will...find someone to love." Gasped James.
A weird dizzy feeling came over Crystallina making her gasp, she dropped the sword and stumbled to the balcony. Crystallina pitched over the balcony and fell to the sea below.
"Crystallina!" Cried James as he ran over to the balcony and looked over to see where the girl had fallen.
In the water Crystallina felt her body spasm as her legs turned back into a fishtail. Crystallina ripped off her dress and swam up to the surface where, she saw James, Mariah, and Ariel looking down at her.
"Shes...a mermaid!" Gasped Mariah.
"But...how did she turn back?" Asked James.
"That sword she was carrying was a magical sword, she got from her family. They told her, she had to use it to make you shed blood to turn her back into a mermaid." Explained Ariel.
James looked down at Crystallina.
"I'm sorry...if things didn't work out between us. You should go return return to your loved ones. I'm sure...you'll find someone to love." Said James.
Crystallina nodded and waved goodbye as she dived under the water and swam away.
"Goodbye Crystallina. I hope you find happiness." Said Ariel.
The three of them walked back into the castle.
Crystallina found out that her voice had returned as she rejoined her family. A few months latter she fell in love with a handsome merman and married him. The two of them lived a long happy life with one another and everyone lived happily ever after.
The End.
