The sea water no longer feels calm like it usually do. I held Bo's hand tightly as we swim deeper and deeper into the sea, our hearts thumping loudly in our chest. The pressure and tension around us is high, as if the water itself is whispering about the war that is about to come.

I turn to glance at Bo, to see whether she's alright. She gives a nod. No words are needed between us right now, no words can describe the danger before us. My aim is to bring us to Flounder at our secret place where we used to play when we were kids. Flounder has reported to me a few days ago, more than half the kingdom are willing to fight with us, but I don't know what kind of gruesome creatures will Ursula bring forth.

I feel Bo tense next to me as we get nearer and nearer to the kingdom. The castle stood there proudly, a magnificent view to behold. I feel a sense of familiarity as I see the place I grew up, but now there is a weary and dark vibe surrounding the castle, putting everyone in high alert.

We swim faster to the back entrance, where one of our people will let us in. There stood a guard at the door, holding a spear guiding the door. I recognise him as one of the loyal Knight when my father ruled the kingdom, our eyes met and an understanding flows between us, he nods and swims aside slightly. I give him a nod of appreciation and open the door, leading Bo and I into the castle, my castle.

'Pss, Lauren!' A harsh whisper got my attention and I snap my head to the direction of the voice.

'Flounder!' I sigh in relief and we swim towards each other. 'How's it going? ' I ask.

'Follow me.' Is all his reply and we swim side by side to our secret place.

When we reached the garden, a few guards were patrolling the grounds. But all of them only acknowledge us with their eyes and leave us be. We enter the hidden cave behind a thick bush of seaweed and corals, I gasp when I see how many people are there. All of my sisters are there, everyone is looking at me when I enter with Bo. Suddenly, murmurs and voices ceased into silence.

'Oh wow...' I stood in front of the entrance, speechless.

'Lauren!' My family comes forward to my one by one and hug me. Tears spring in my eyes as I hug them.

'I'm back, I'm here... ' I keep on repeating to them.

When Kenzi is the only one who remain where she is, I swim to her and hug her tightly. She's tense for a moment before she hugs me back just as tightly.

'So you're back, huh?' Kenzi chuckles in tears, and I can only laugh back.

'Yup, I'm back, I'm back...' when we pull back, we smile at each other.' I have to clean up my mess, as someone once told me.'

'Go get then back, tiger.' Kenzi let's go of me and I swim back to Bo, who looks awkward standing in the middle alone. I smile at her and holds her hand.

'Okay...' I take a deep breath and look at everyone before me. 'Ummm, I just wanna say thank you to everyone for being here, and well the main reason you guys are here is because of me and Ummm, I'm sorry...but I'm back to clean up my mess. And well...' Oh no, I'm having a verbal problem. I glance at Bo for help and she just gives me an encouraging smile. I take another deep breath, and look back at everyone .

'Everyone, this is Queen Ysabeau. She's the Succubus Queen from land and yes, I'm completely crazy in love with her.' I smile widely and I talk about Bo.

'She's the one papa always talk about?'

'She's the reason you have gone and make a mess ,isn't she?'

'I knew succubus can't be trusted, her kind...'

Voices and complains and questions ring out in the silence, overwhelming me and I don't know what to do. I start to fidget, fight of flight keeps on playing in my head.

'Please, everyone!' A confident and strong voice rings out in the noises and everyone is shunt silence by the authoritive voice. I look at Bo just as everyone's attention is on her now. Bo stood next to me, confident and strong. Gone was the awkward girlfriend who came to see my family, replaced by the strong queen I know. No matter where she is, she still oozes confidence and authority, demanding everyone's attention and her chocolate brown eyes are now replaced with neon blue that glare fiercely at everyone who dares to disrespect her and her commands.

Once Bo waited for everyone's complete attention, she says confidently. 'We are all here for one reason, that is to get your kingdom back. Yes, the very reason why we need to do this all leads to Lauren and me. But what use is there to keep putting the blame on Lauren. She will, one day, be your queen. All these happened because of love, Lauren's love for me, and Poseidons love for his daughter. And in return, we shall all unite and fix this with love. I am here because I love Lauren, and you are all here because your love and loyalty to Poseidon. Hate cannot drive hatred away, only love can. So are you with me, or are you not?' Her voice echoes through the cave and silence continue to embrace the small space, but now a strong vibe covers everyone. Her presence and her confidence triggers the fae in me, and my eyes shine gold in response to my mate. Power vibrates through my entire being and I ,too,step forward with renew confidence and command,' Are you with me?' Gasps and murmurs are heard, and finally.

'I am with you, my queen. ' A man steps forward and kneel before Bo and I. More and more people come forward and do so. The power and pride that I'm feeling right now makes me feel so invincible. I hold Bo's hand tighter in mine.

'Now,are we ready to fight?'

I feel it in my bones. The moment we step out the cave, the war has began. The moment we step out the cave, more than a tozen of loyal knights have march in front of me, the commander kneels before me.

'We will serve our kingdom, for you are now our queen.' For a moment I was startled until Flounder says next to me, ' well you did tell me to prepare the kingdoms army.' And he winks at me. I nod as I ask what's going on at Ursula's.

The commander lifts his head and replies.

'She knew you're coming and she knew we were going to help you. What was confusing was she did not stop us from seeking you. But now we have received information that she has her own creatures as army, as far as I know, she is intending to release the Kraken.'

'You must be kidding me.' I say under my breath.

'We can do this, Lauren, we can' Bo says next to me and I smile in response.

'Yes we do.'

With that, we march to the front of the castle. The sea seems to get darker and a mist seems to cover the whole view. I brace myself and give everyone a nod.

'Ahhh, look who's here?' A high pitch rings through the space as the mist starts to slowly disappear. Curses and gasp can be heard behind me as more and more ugly looking creatures appear before us. Hatred and anger fills me as I see Ursula in the middle of the battlefield.

'It's the little lost mermaid that asked to become a human. Oh let's see, and the succubus's here too. I must say, I've never have it with a Succubus and my dear queen, you did not disappoint me.'

'Fuckk!' I scream and I glare at her, if look can kill, I'm sure Ursula will be dead by now. It is only Bo and is grounding me right now, telling me not to play her sickening game in my ear.

'Oh, don't be angry, daddy will be sad if his precious daughter die, won't he? Huh?' Ursula pouts and she takes her pendent out of her disgusting cleavage.

'You will regret this, bitch, I'll make sure of that.' I grit through my clenched teeth.

'No yet, honey. You have to deal with my baby sister first. ' Ursula says sweetly and turn to tell her commander something. Then when she turns, she gives me a sickening sweet smile and winks.' Have fun, sweetie' With those last words, she swims away with those disgusting tentacles of hers to the throne seat placed outside of the castle just for her to enjoy the 'view'.

Before I can even curse at her, an explosive sound explodes in the air and a sickening loud screech that makes everyone goosebumps follows.

Everyone turns to look at the monster, but all we see is a gigantic tenctacle that swims so fast across us, a big yellow eye stare unblinking at us.

'Fuck...' I curse.

'Let the party begin!' Ursula shouts and let's out an evil laugh. Suddenly it's like all hell break and I keep as close as possible, killing anyone in our way to Ursula. We both make a really good team, I will use my water power to keep the enemies at bay and Bo will suck their chi from across the field. Some of the loyal knights have shifted into killer sharks, attacking the more dangerous creatures.

'Watch out! ' I heard someone shouts and before I knew it, a gigantic tentacle hits down just in front of me, crushing whoever underneath it. The bad and good thing about the Kraken is, it's so wild no one can tame it. Even though it is technically under Ursula's possession, even she can't tame it to listen to her. So now that the Kraken is let free, it is just crushing whoever it wants, no caring who it is. It has no sides.

'You okay, Lauren?' Bo shouts.

'I'm fine! Let's not care about the Kraken, just head for the main prize!' I shout back. Together we swim towards, Ursula, for a moment there is a flash of fear in her eyes but she quickly smile to cover it. When we are only a few feet before Ursula, a half python,half woman lunge at us with her long poisonous fangs.

I spring away just in time, and quickly use water pressure to suffocate her. The creature clunge onto the invisible rope at her neck, her long tail wriggling desperately as she tries to breathe. For a moment I thought I have won when the creature finally stops moving until I felt a huge weight on my head.

XXXXX

'LAUREN!' I scream at the top of my lungs when I saw an ogre hit Lauren with his anger, I quickly slash my opponent in the neck with my dagger and get to Lauren as fast as possible.

'Oh my...oops.' I hear Ursula snickers.

'Lauren, Lauren! Can you hear me?' I whisper harshly as I hold her in my arms, I can the water turning colour as blood seeps out steadily from Lauren head. Lauren can hardly open her eyes, I know I have not enough time.

'Fuck, stay with me, LAUREN! ' I scream. Panic and sadness hit me in the chest like furious waves.

'Need help? Wanna sign a contract?' I heard Ursula in her pitiful voice and everything went silence. I let the darkness embrace me, anger and hatred fuel me as I slowly stand up to my feet. I know Dark Bo can handle this better, she did chi-suck a while city before. I call upon my father's power and I can feel the Blood King in my blood.

'Nobody will harm my mate, nobody can take her away from me. Not even DEATH. I AM THE MOST POWERFUL SUCCUBUS AND I HAVE DEATH IN MY BLOOD. I WILL CHOOSE WHO WILL LIVE AND WHO SHALL DIE.' I feel wind in my hair, I feel power in my hands, and I feel death in my mouth. The power crackles the pressure between the prize and me. I love the look of fear in her eyes, I love the look of regret in her eyes, and I'll certainly love the look of death in her eyes. I close my eyes and open my mouth wide, welcoming the chi. I suck and suck until I see her fearful eyes replaced with emptiness.

The pendant between her cleavage broke and out come a beautiful mist, slowly forming a man. Everyone stopped fighting as it is clearly who won the battle but I cared not. A voice inside of me wants back the control, she is screaming for me to help my mate, our mate. I quickly turn around to Lauren and automatically, I give back control and slowly kiss Lauren, letting the chi pass into her.

'Come on,baby... ' I pray as more chi goes in and I can finally feel her pulse getting stronger. 'That's it, come back to me,baby...' slowly, Lauren's eyes starts to blink and I finally see those honey brown eyes.

'What-what happened?' Lauren asks in a hoarse voice.

'We won, baby, we won.' I say gently as we kiss again. Not caring what is happening around us.
