"I know where she is going" Henry speeds off.

..."Ariel...what are you doing here?" Ann says

"We have to help your mom...I have a bad feeling about this" Henry says


Chapter 6

Ariel is driving as fast as she can. She has one goal on her mind. She is going to kill. The demon tells her that she can save Henry, by killing him. She blinks a few times, she can't. She will never take a life. She parks into the drive to her parents. She glares at the house. She grips the steering wheel. She tries to stop herself, no she is not going to harm them. They may have harm Henry, but that doesn't mean she should just...kill them. She blinks a few times, she is getting dizzy. She looks at the mirror, she sees her red eyes. She closes them, No, she can't be posses. She opens them again, the eyes are still red. She looks at the house, she sees a little light inside. She gets off, slowly walks to the house. She knocks on the door. She waits, for a few seconds. She knocks again.

They are plotting to kill your family

She shakes her head. They can't be. The curse...maybe there is no curse. It's a demon, how will they defeat this demon. She knocks again, but nothing. She is starting to get mad. She growls as she starts banging on the door. "OPEN UP!" She keeps banging the door, shouting at them. She is about to break it down, the door swings open.

"Ariel..." Alfred says "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you" she says as she walks in.

"I thought..."

"Ariel..." Ann says "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here...to stop all of this" She says "I am here to stop you, from hurting my husband"

"Ariel...we would never..."

"SHut it!" she says "You already did"

"Ariel...look. He..um...he hurt your sister. He hurt other girls..." he says "he is a bad man. Why..."

"Same story uuh..." she laughs.

"Henry...he...um."

Ariel kicks a chair, making it hit the wall. Ann runs to get behind Alfred. Ariel stares at the two.

"He...gave me everything." She starts "he makes me happy, the happiest girl alive. He show me the world, the music. He even gave me, our kids" She blinks "He is the best father ever. He...he...is my heart. I gave him my body, myself."

"Enough talk..." Alfred says "He...can't give you a mansion...a house like this..not only did he hurt your sister...but he is broke"

Ariel looks at him "We are fine. He gives me more than this rich life" She slowly walks to them. The room s getting dark. Ariel tries to focus on her parents. She can't really see them. She feels like something is taking over her. The demon is standing in front of her. He is slowly making his way to her father.

"Ariel...Henry..." Aflred stops when he sees Ariel, staring blankly at the cieling.

"Henry...deserves to die"Alfred says "And I'm going to be the one to kill him" only Aflred never did say it. The demon, is giving Ariel, visions of them saying it.

"Yes...it's time for him to die. After that...we will get your kids"

Ariel shouts at them. "You will not hurt them!" She shakes her head "You are not KILLLING HIM!"

Alfred looks to his wife "I never said anything..about killing..."

"You are not going to touch my kids" She paces around the floor. "You won't hurt them..."

"Ariel...what are you talking about?" Ann says "We will never hurt your kids..."

"LAIR!" she shouts. She sees them laughing, pointing at her. She can only hear the word kill. Ann goes up to her, smiling wide she whispers We are going to kill everyone. Ariel blinks in surprise, she is not going to let that happen. "You will not touch them!" Ariel runs to the kitchen. She reaches for the knife, and aims it towards Ann "Stop yelling" she shouts "Shut up!" Ariel swings her knife, Ann dodges it, but that was a close call. Ariel attackes again.

Alfred runs to Ariel, and he grabs her. She shouts, struggles to get free. She cries out, swing her hand around. Alfred grabs the one with the knife. He grips her hand, trying to make her drop it. She growls, as her hand starts to ach. She tries hard, not to let go of the knife. She swings them around, making Alfred get thrown down to the ground. Ariel gets her balance, and looks around the room. He slowly gets up.

"Ariel...this isn't you...I need you to fight that thing" Alfred says. All Ariel heard is You got to kill me first, before I kill your husband. She shakes her head, grabs it, in a vice grip. She tries to fight off the words, the vision. She thinks that her father will kill him. She needs to stop him, she is going to kill him. That's the only way to save her family. She dashes to him, shoving him across the room, he lands by hitting the wall, to the ground.

"ALFRED!" Ann shouts "Ariel...stop! Leave us alone!"

Ariel cries out "You are not going to hurt him!"

She dashes to her mom, she jumps up and tackles her down. Ariel uses her knees, to pin her down. Ariel twirls the knife on top of her head. She slolwy brings the knife to Ann's throat. She place it there. Ariel stops, she can't do this. She can't hurt her. She is going to kill everyone. Kill them, before they kill you! Ariel cries out as she hugs herself. Ann punches her off her, and crawls to Alfred. She helps him up. Ariel gets up quickly but stops when she sees her parents ready to attack. Ariel stands still, she is going to stop them. Ann runs first tackling her down. Alfred brings his foot up and kicks her ribs. Ariel coughs out in pain. She can't believe it. Her parents really are hurting her. She gets kick on the head. She shouts in pain, twisting and turning around on the floor.

Alfred wonders what is going on. He didn't do anything. All they see is Ariel on the ground, shaking, crying out for help. He wonders what is going on. Ariel keeps yelling at them to stop hurting her, but they are doing nothing. It's probaly her imagination. Alfred runs to her, trying to stop her from hurting herself. He notices a bruis on her cheek. Another on her neck. She is being attack but by who.

"We have to stop this" Alfred says "You said you know how to break the curse..."

"Its not a curse...she is posses"

"So, we call a priest..."

"We can't...they won't believe us. We have to help her now"

Alfred kneels next to her. He holds her head.

"Ariel...look at me sweetie..." he starts. Ariel shrieks, and she claws his face. He falls back, holding to his face. He covers the scratches, luckly it's only one scratch. She cries out as she sits up. She turns her head slowly to her dad.

"Sweetie? You called me sweetie..." she laughs "Don't start that shit...you never called me sweetie..." She throws the knife at him. He dodges it and scrambles back when he sees her crawling to him. She reaches out to grabs his head. She slams him to the wall behind him. He shouts in pain. He tries to stop her, but she is strong. He claws at her face hoping that will get her off. Ariel bites his hand. He keeps shouting, but she won't let go. He grabs her head now, and slams her against the wall. She let's go, and Alfred scrambles to get away from her. She sees a knife, brings it to his calf. He shouts, he turns to kick her right in the face. She goes back by the impact. He crawls to Ann, trying to reach her. Ariel is already up, going after him. Ann runs to get a chair. She grabs it, swinging it to Ariel, breaking on impact. Ariel goes down, she is knock out. Ann kneels next to Alfred.

"You okay...?" she says

"I'm good..." he turns his leg to the get the knife. "That is going to hurt" Ann grabs the knife and takes it out. He groans in pain. He keeps grunting as he shuts his eyes. "A warning next time"

"Sorry..." she looks at her daughter "What do we do with her?"

"Let's...um..." He tries to get but goes right back down. "Um..."

"Lets...tie her up...so she won't hurt anyone, or herself" She whispers

"Okay...Help me up will you" She helps him up. He limps to get to a rope. He gets it and sets it down. Ann already has a chair in the middle of the living room. Alfred picks up Ariel, and brings her, the best he can to the chair. As he sets her down, she mumbles. Ann starts tying her up. Ariel groans and shouts as she opens her eyes. She tries to escape, tries to break the ropes. She keeps shouting, now mumbling. Ann sees her face, her eyes are now black, her face is pale, like, if she is rotting. Ann shakes her head. "Noo..." Ariel keeps moving around, trying to get to them.

"Ariel...they are going to kill them" demon says "Get them first"

"I can't. I can't. I won't let you do this"

"I am stronger than you" he laughs "You already hurt your father..."

"He is not my FATHER!" she shouts "He hurt Henry..."

"THen...he will kill him right! demon chants "RIGHT!"

Ariel starts moving around. She growls, barks at her parents. She is mindless. She tries to move her arms, brusing it, burning from the ropes.

"We have to call Henry?"

"No...I don't need his help" Alfred says

"Alfred...I have a feeling that...he is a good man. He did not hurt anyone"

"What...!?"

"I think Anna lied to us..." she sighs "And made us hate Ariel. Now look at her"

"No, Henry..." He sighs. Ann is right, they should call. He goes to phone but the door gets bust open. He turns around, runs to the front door. He stops when he sees Henry, and his two kids. He sighs in relief. "Henry...We were about to call you-"

"Where is she?!" he says

"Um..." he didn't answer. How would he tell him, that he tied her up, and is now trying so hard to escape. "The living room"

Henry notice that the house is a mess. Like, someone throws things around the place. He walks pass Alfred, and he sees Ann. She is sitting in front of Ariel. She is trying to talk to her, but Ariel just glares at her. Henry sighs "What have you done?!"

"She start attacking us...we had to stop her" he says. Henry notice that he is limping. He shakes his head.

"She wont stop...will she?" he whispers. The boys walk up to see their mom. Both sit next to her. She didn't even look at them. All she sees is darkness, and the demon in front of her. She wants to attack it, she needs to kill this demon. He is going to kill them all. She jerks up to Ann.

"I will kill you demon!" She tries to escape. "I will kill you!'

Ann sighs as she looks away. Henry walks up to his sparkmate. He kneels in front of her.

"Ariel...can you hear me?" he whispers. "it's me sweetspark, come back to me..."

Ariel starts coughing, she gasps for air. She then goes quiet, but a smirk is on her face. She looks at all of them, giving them a look that can kill.

"Ariel...is gone" she speaks but in a different voice "She is nowhere to be found"

"Give her back!" Henry shouts "Or I will make you pay!"

"There is one way you can bring her back..." she says "Kill"

"No one is killing anyone." Henry shouts back "You will not win"

"I need a soul...if I don't get one...this one here...will die"

"NO.." Henry gasp "No, you will leave her alone" Henry holds her face "Ariel..I know you are strong. Fight it sweetspark. Fight it, and come back to me"

Ariel shakes her head, removing herself from his hands. She coughs a little, tries to struggle to get free.

"She is strong...but not strong enough...tell you what. You choose who can die first..."

"No, no one is going to die here. Not while I am here"

Ann is looking at her grandkids. She tries to talk to them, but they wont say a word. Leo, is glaring at her, like she is the worst person in the world. She feels bad, she never want to hurt them. Raph grunts as he ignores her. Leo is only staring. He wants to shout at her, he wants to hurt her. His father told him to let it go. Going after her, won't help, also she is family. Leo blinks a few times, he looks like he is about to attack. "Leo...don't look at me like that. I'm sorry for"

"I don't want to hear it. You hurt us. I will never forgive you" he says "Don't ever talk to us"

"Leo...please, I'm family"

"Not anymore...might as well be dead to us" Leo looks away. He walks to the kitchen to get water. Raph does the same, he doesn't want to be alone with her. She walks to stand behind Henry.

"I'll you what...you choose who can die first..." the demon says.

Ann gives a look, but decides to turn away.

"What's that Ann. Leo...uhh..I heard you say you want that little spoiled brat to go away...that means to kill him right..." Ariel laughs out loud.

Henry turns to glare at Ann. He can't beleive it. Not his kid. "What did you SAY!"

"No...I didn't mean. I was just...mad...'

Ariel laughs out loud, she starts floating. "Okay...Ill get it done..Ann" She goes down breaking the chair. She gets up, dusting herself off. She looks around the room. "Where is he...?"

Henry stands still.

Leo and Raph walks in with their drinks.

"There you are!" the demon yells.

"LEO RUNN!" Henry shouts. He runs to him but a force throws him across the room. Leo gasps, he turns to see his mom, she is charging at him. Raph steps in front of him. She grabs his arm and throws him across the room. Leo gasp as he starts running away. He tries to go up the stairs, but a force grabs his leg. He gets drag down, Ariel is walking slowly up to him.

"Come on my son" she speak but it's not her voice "I'm not going to hurt you' she lies. "It will be quick"

Leo tries to grab on to something. He grabs a rail, He grabs on tight. He keeps getting his leg pull. He loses his grip, and gets drag across the room. He starts swinging around, hitting every wall. Henry gets up, sees him being toyed with. He jumps to grab him. Henry gets him, he brings him close to his heart. Leo hugs his father tight, he shifts his head, hiding himself in Henrys chest. He is still being drag. Henry uses his legs to stop him from being toss around. Ariel growls in anger. She smirks. She uses more force. Henry loses grip. He looks to see that he is going to the wall. He switch position, making him hit the wall, while protecting Leo with his arms. Henry shouts in pain, but he didn't let go. He gets drag again, Leo closes his eys shut. He feel something. He notice that the arms around him went lose. He moves to see Henry, he is out. "DAD!" he shouts

"Leo...R-Run.." he tries to say.

"No...I'm not leaving you" Leo says. He gets drag again. Raph jumps to grab his hand. He hangs on tight.

"I got you brother..." Raph brings him in. Ariel walks to her kids. She kneels next to them.

"Leo...you grandma wants you dead" she laughs. Leo eyes widen. "So..we can live..."

Ariel grabs both her kids in a chokehold. She lifts them up. Leo and Raph are struggling to hit her, to break free. Ann stays in the back hiding. Alfred gets a bat, and he goes to swing it at Ariel. He stops, when she turns to him.

"You are willing to hurt you daughter..." she cries. "Dad...how could you. You always hated me...right"

"No...it's not that..it's..."

Ariel shoves the boys to the wall, both hitting with great force, sliding down the wall. Leo world goes swirling. He tries to get up. He sees that his mom is walking to her dad. He is slowly backing up, warning her to stop or he will hit her. Leo can hear what Ariel is saying. Raph growls in pain, he can hear that ringing sound in his head. He hears voice, mostly shouting. He sees his grandma...yelling at his mom to stop. He sees Leo, trying to get up. He turns to see his mom, walking slowly up to her parents. The grandpa, having the bat readying to swing.

"Mom..."he whispers "Dont...don't hurt them..." Raph tries to get up. He stops when Ariel is now facing them. She is staring at him, but at Leo. She smiles as she dashes to him. Raph turns quickly but Leo is already gone. "Leo...LEO!"

"NO!" Alfred shouts "Where did she go?"

Henry gets up, rubbing his head. He sees the parents, shouting for Leo. He ses Raph trying to get up. He quickly runs to Raph, grabs his shoulders.

"Raph you okay?"

"I'm good dad" he whispers "Leo...He.."

"Where is Leo...?" Henry says "Where..."

"I don't know...one minute he is here...the next he is gone..." He says "Mom took him"

"No...No..." Henry thinks, where can she have gone. "Think..think..."

"Where is she?!" Alfred shouts. He groans when he steps on his injured calf. He sits down, holding the bat tight. "I should've hit her"

Henry charges to them, "Where is she!?'

"We don't know. She took Leo..."

"WHERE!" he stops when he hears something faint. "Shh...do you hear that?"

"I don't hear..." Henry shush him. He concentrates. He can hear something. He focus. Raph hears it to. He brings his head down to the floor, trying to listen.

"DAD...HELP ME!" they all hear.

"Dad...under the floor.." Raph says

Henry grabs Alfred by the collar shirt. "Do ya'll have a basement...?"

"Yes we do...the door is over there..." Henry let's go and runs for it. He tries to open the door but it's lock. Alfred shakes his head, he always keep the door lock. He hate going down there. Ann goes to find the key. Henry is not waiting, he goes back, and kicks the door down. He starts running down stairs. Raph runs in after him, and Alfred tries his best. Henry is now in the basement, he turns the light on. he stops.

He sees Leo, being cradled by Ariel, she is singing him a lullaby. She is rubbing his head, making him fall asleep, but he is fighting it. She kisses his forehead. Henry slowly walks to her, not wanting to alert her. He stops when she snaps her head to him. "Shhhh...he is trying to sleep"

"Let him go" Henry says

"No...remember, ya'll chose him to die first" she speaks in different tone "So that yall can live"

"I never agree to that!" he shouts.

"I need a soul to leave, He can save you"

"NO! Take me instead..." Henry says "Leave him alone please.."

"Dad...no.." Leo whispers. He tries to reach out to his dad, but Ariel brings him closer to her. She starts singing to him again.

"SHh...you don't want to be awake...it's going to hurt when I kill you"

Alfred is already behind her. Ann is in the back, waiting for something to happen. Ann sees a shadow, growing behind Ariel. She sees something shiny. A knife, Henry gasps. Ariel brings it to Leo's right cheek. She starts cutting him. Leo screams in pain, he struggles to be set free. Henry runs to her but stops when she press the knife to Leo's neck. "he is going to die. Say good-bye Leo.." Alfred swings his bat, hitting her in the back. She stumbles forward. Henry reachs for Leo's hand and drags him away from her. "NOOO!" she crawls to her dad, and trips him. She grabs him by the neck, throws him across the room. He crashes into some old furniture. She smirks, and she quickly turns to Leo. He is already making his way up the stairs, behind him is Henry. She crawls up the cieling, and reachs them. She pushes Leo down, making him fall, but Henry catches him before he starts rolling down the stairs. Ariel shouts as she lifts her arms. A strong force hits them, Henry hangs on tight to Leo, as they crash to another set of old furnature. Henry shouts in pain, as something stabs his shoulder. He reaches for it, pulls it out. Ariel grabs Leo, and brings him to the middle of the floor. She brings the knife to Leo, heart. She goes for the heart, but Ann hits her on the head. Ariel goes down, out cold.


"Get out of here Leo" Ann says

"Dad..."!" Leo runs to him.

Ariel starts floating, her eyes roll to the back of her head. "You will not win!"
