A Little Mermaid Story - written by me.

Hi everyone!

I have written a romance story based on the Little Mermaid. I write stories based on many examples of fiction, but I have loved this movie since I was a child, and wanted to create something in homage to it. I have posted it on all the fanfiction sites - the links are copy-pasted below.

Dividers by @firefly-graphics and @saradika-graphics

The crystal blue water of the Tyrrhenian Sea is calm, the wind gently blowing the sails of the Deep Blue Oasis as it rocks back and forth slowly. That was the name of Joel’s boat, one of his most prized possessions. A gateway to the unknown where he could clear his mind and get lost on the aqua ocean tides that have called to him for as long as he could remember.

A call to the side of him that loves history , ancient things, and to the treasure hunter in himself. He spent countless days out on the tides of the sea, always looking for hidden treasures that may be hiding under the deep blue water. His scattered map was marked with red inked circles and x’s of areas where there was said to be lost treasures down below. He swore to his father he’d find them one day and make him proud.

Joel’s father was a wealthy businessman, always focused on the clients in Italy and making a fortune of his own. Joel didn’t want to follow in his footsteps. He wanted to be out on the sea, out where the ocean breeze could ruffle through his curly locks and carry him into the unknown. He always loved the water and the salty sea air, always wanted to become a sailor to travel the world. His father never approved of it, though. He said it was a waste of time and money, until that dark day that he passed away. His last dying breath was him telling Joel to buy a big boat and sail. Make me proud, son. Follow your dream. Those words still haunt him to this day, the few words he begged his father to say his entire life. So on his thirtieth birthday, that’s exactly what he did.

Five years later Joel had his own boat, his own crew, his own freedom to do as he pleased. His crew wasn’t the most trustful men, but they earned his trust little by little. He befriended some filthy pirates on one of his sea explorations a couple of years ago. At first they threatened him, but he was smart and talked them out of stealing from him and taking over his boat. He offered them so much money that they couldn’t refuse. They agreed to work for him and show him parts of the sea that he’d never been to. Sure, they had their flaws and their bad habits, but he couldn’t do this without them. So he decided to give them a chance.

Joel unfolds his large map of the area and lays it out flat on the side of the railings, studying the area like he knows exactly where he’s headed to. He rolls up his white cotton sleeves and traces lines of the faded map, mapping out this specific area with the tip of his finger.

“Captain Miller, the boys think it’s in this area,” Jasper voices over the blowing breeze, making Joel stop to look up from his marked map.

“What is?” he asks with a raised brow.

“The hidden underwater city of Capri,” Jasper says with excitement in his flushed swampy eyes. His linens are tattered, his blonde hair outgrown and unkempt, his crooked smile waning up at Joel as mischief plays in his scattered mind.

“I thought that was just a folktale? The underwater city. People have searched for years and found nothing. What makes you so sure this place is here?” Joel asks with narrowed dark eyes, waiting for an honest answer from his so-called pirate friend.

“Mermaids, cap’n. They’re here in this area,” Jasper says with the gleam of his eye, sure of himself as much as he’s sure of how to sail this boat.

“Mermaids…” Joel questions, flicking his eyes out to the blue tides as the water gently laps at the large rocks in the water. “I’ve never seen a mermaid, Jas. Only seen them in some old books in my study. As far as I’m concerned, they aren’t here.”

Joel starts to turn around, but Jasper catches his arm. “I swear on my life, mate. They're as real as you and me. Seen one with my own eyes. Not long ago either. Beautiful creatures they are, their siren songs able to hypnotize anyone who dares to look them in the eyes. Saw one drown one of my men before. Grabbed him by the arm and pulled him under with her song. He was never seen again,” he says with sad eyes, looking out into the bright horizon as seagulls and pelicans flock the sunny sky.

Joel ticks his jaw and looks out amongst the miles and miles of open ocean, only seeing the lapping waves as they hit the bottom of the boat. “Jasper, I’m gonna have to see one with my own eyes to believe it. Maybe it was sun poison that made you see things.”

“It wasn’t sun poison, Joel! If you won’t believe me, then I pray one day you do see one. Am I one to lie?” he asks with a heated stare and a hand on his grimy hip.

Joel knits his brows together and stares for a minute at the pirate that swears on his life he’s seen a mermaid. While Jasper doesn’t usually lie to Joel, he’s still a pirate. Still willing to lie and cheat his way around the system. But he’s also the most trustful of his crew, so he’s torn. Maybe it wasn’t a mermaid he saw, but maybe another sea creature. Yes. That’s what it must’ve been. Something else.

Joel puts a hand on Jasper’s shoulder and nods his head. “Sure, Jas. But let’s keep our eyes out for this.” Joel puts his index finger on the red x that’s marked right around the sea cave that sits a few hundred feet from the boat. Supposedly there was a ship wreck that happened years ago, and men have tried and failed to discover what great treasures were lost to the sea that day. Those who go in, never come out. Joel would find out, though. One way or another he’d discover the secret of what happened so many years ago.

“Go on and have the men anchor the boat. Wanna stay here overnight and see if we can find anything.”

Jasper nods his head and huffs out a breath. “Yes, cap’n. Right away.” He turns and yells at the men to hoist the anchor and get ready to search the area.

Joel folds the map back up and places it in the pocket of his tan trousers. He sighs and looks out at the massive sea cave, watching the waves churn calmly against the rough rocks.

Mermaids. There couldn’t be any. He would’ve seen one before, would’ve remembered if he did. He lets his thoughts go back to the task at hand and clears his mind. No time to think of maybe’s and false folklore. It was time to find some treasure.

The water is crystal clear today, sunlight beaming through the long seaweed that sits tangled in the ocean. You swim your way past a pod of dolphins, waving hello to the newborn calves as they whistle out their greetings. You dive down hundreds of feet and hum your favorite lullaby. The one your mom used to sing you every night before you fell asleep in the comfy bed of a massive clam shell.

A school of colorful fish swim past you, and you smile up at them as you propel yourself faster to get to your favorite discrete area of the bay. You call it the moonlight sea cave because at night you can see the moon shine all the way through the entire cave system, even under the water. It’s beautiful, a place where you can go to think and relax.

You always have to sneak off to this area. Your sisters would never approve, and you shudder thinking how your father would react. How many times has he told you to never go up to the surface again? How many times had your sisters dragged you back home over the years? You couldn’t keep track, didn’t want to think about it.

After that awful day that happened so many years ago, you weren’t supposed to want to go back up to the surface. You weren’t supposed to look for treasure that humans always dropped off their boats, but you still did. And you definitely weren’t supposed to be this close to shore, but you were still quite a ways out. Your father would kill you if he found you swimming around these parts, but you chose to ignore his wishes like you always did.

You swim up to the surface and lift your face into the sunlight, breathing the fresh salty air as you inhale the warm breeze. You push your long hair over your shoulder and take a few strides through the water, floating in the waves as the salt water dries on your shoulders.

When you look up, you freeze as your blood runs cold. A boat, there’s a boat. It’s big, towering over the water as a crew of men work on casting nets and walk along the deck. You duck down in fear and hide behind a rock, hoping that they haven't seen you. You slowly peek your head around the corner and stop in your tracks when you see him. The most beautiful man you’ve ever laid your eyes on.

He’s tall, broad shouldered, and has the most beautiful smile you’ve ever seen. His hair is dark, tousled curls blowing in the wind as a few strands fall near his eyes. Brown, warm flecks coat his eyes. Eyes you could get lost in, eyes that you’d now dream about for days on end. And his arms. They’re strong, built, powerhouses that could take down a large man. The top buttons on his white cotton shirt are open, exposing tanned skin that must bathe in the sunlight on a regular basis.

You’re supposed to hate humans. You don’t trust them, you don’t think you could ever trust them again. But him… he looks like a walking dreamboat, a sailor you’d like to get to know. He doesn’t look like all the other ones, no. He looks kind, caring, maybe even dare you say trusting. But he’s a human, and you’re a mermaid. This can’t happen, this can’t ever happen.

Scar bumps your hip with his large fin as he makes a circle around you, warning you that you could be seen. “It’s okay, Scar. They can’t see me, I don’t think. It’s alright.”

He bumps you again with his snout and looks at you with his big black eyes, his dorsal fin coming just above the surface. He tells you to be careful, tells you he doesn’t want anything bad to happen to you. You only smile and brush your hand against his sandpaper like skin.

“I’m alright. Promise. Go on, I’ll be fine. Just gonna stay here for a few minutes,” you confirm. He huffs out a sigh and dives back down into the deep depths of the water, but he stays close. He always stays close. Who knew that a great white shark would be one of your best friends in the sea? They usually don’t want anything to do with mermaids, but you saved him that awful day that was full of bloodshed and death. And ever since then he never left your side. You were grateful for him. He was the best protector you ever had.

You stay there against the rock and lean your elbows up on it, continuing to watch the handsome man look over what looks like an old map of some sort. You lap your tail up and down in the water and lean your cheek against the rock, daydreaming of meeting the man with dark eyes.

He was going to get you in trouble, but you didn’t care. You’d risk your life just to get a chance to stare into the maps of his golden brown eyes.

Joel clings to the side of the boat as he digs his nails into the warm, polished wood. He turns his head to watch his crew stay busy on the deck as they bustle around and drag their worn out shoes against the floorboards. He sighs and takes another look at his intricate map, tracing his finger over every crevice of the parchment until he gets frustrated and throws his head up to look out on the bright horizon.

As soon as he looks up, he stops cold as he spots the gleam of a sparkling tail in the near distance. It’s not just a tail, there’s a girl leaning up against a rock that’s staring right back at him. He rubs his eyes to make sure it’s not the sun playing tricks on his mind, but she still appears there in the same spot just staring blankly at him. He sees a young woman who’s beautiful, dreamlike, something he only thought was a fantasy. He sees you, a mermaid…

Mermaids aren’t real, mermaids can’t be real. But how does he explain what he clearly sees now? You are very much real.

His ears ring with white noise, the sounds of his crew scrubbing along the deck nearly nonexistent now. It’s just you and him, staring at each other as if you’re the only two people out on the calm waters. It’s just the gentle breeze kissing his tanned skin and the distant noise of waves lapping against the rock that you so subtly lean against, eyes locking with each other as if the world crashes on its side to bring the two of you together.

He grabs his golden telescope, looking through the lense as you come into view just inches from his vision. The sight of you nearly knocks the breath out of him, his eyes widen as he takes in the beauty that sits before him. He thinks you’re the most beautiful creature he’s ever laid eyes on, thinks you’re absolutely divine, a treasure that should be well cared for.

His eyes trail down your lush curves, taking in the dusty coral colored seashells that cover your breasts, scanning every inch of your shimmering tail that’s soft pink as it flicks back and forth against the water. It’s almost sparkling like diamonds, maybe even soft to the touch. He wonders what you feel like, what you sound like. He bets your voice is like an angel’s, captivating and melodic like nothing he’s ever heard on earth. He wonders what your hands feel like, how they’d feel entwined in his own.

You should swim away, dive back underneath the blue water, but you can’t move. You can’t look away from the handsome stranger. You want to know his name, want to ask him all about what land life is like, want to know if his voice is as soft as his tousled curls look, want to see him again and again…

“Cap’n, whatcha lookin’ at?” Jasper asks as he comes up to Joel and nearly sends him over the edge of the boat. Joel drops the telescope from his unsteady hand, and it lands in a heap on the wooden deck. He scrambles to pick it up, and when he stands up and looks back out at the rock he sees that you’re gone.

He huffs out a sigh and shakes his head slowly. “It was nothing, Jas. Just thought I saw something. Was only a dolphin, nothing else,” he says with a hint of sadness on his tongue, wishing you were still on the rock so he could look into your entrancing eyes.

“Too bad it wasn’t a mermaid. Could’ve made you a true believer,” Jasper laughs as he hits Joel on the back of the shoulder with more force than he meant to.

“Yeah, too bad…” Joel says quietly as he stares at the vacant rock, doing nothing for his peace of mind as he wishes you were still there.

When he turns away from the rock, he sets his eyes back on the folded out map and grabs it up, heading toward the rest of his crew as they send down row boats to go inspect the area.

Joel makes a promise to himself then. Tonight he’ll go out late at night and look for you, hoping you’ll hear his thoughts that he wants to see you again. He will see you again. That’s a promise he will surely keep.

Later that night, Joel tosses and turns in his cabin quarters underneath the boat. He can’t sleep, can’t think as he tosses and turns back and forth in his bed. He thinks of you, the way your tail shimmered in the glow of the sun, how your eyes called to him from the deck of the boat. He needs to see you again. He needs to talk to you.

He crawls out of the bed and throws on his leather boots, lacing them up as he climbs up the stairs and enters into the glow of the full moon as the stars sparkle in the sky. He tiptoes around drunken pirates that are passed out cold on the deck, snoring and limbs scattered about as he passes them carefully to not wake them.

He paces the upper deck, sliding his hands along the edge, searching and searching for any sign of moment in the water. He only sees the faint laps of water against the boat, sees nothing out of the ordinary. He starts to doubt himself, maybe he saw nothing. Maybe it really was the sun playing tricks on his brain. It wouldn’t be the first time.

He sighs and starts to turn around, until he hears a soft melody carrying through the water. He turns around sharply and latches onto the wooden edge of the boat, eyes searching as he hears the sing-song voice start to come closer. It’s angelic, harmonious, nothing that he’d ever heard before. It sends him into a trance-like state, needing to find the owner of the beautiful song.

You wade through the water, flipping your tail as you hide behind the large rocks, singing the song of your people as you let your voice blow through the breeze, hoping he can hear you, hoping he’ll come.

Please, come. Come out to the sea, let me see your beautiful face.

You let your voice carry over the water, humming out melodic notes as you flip through the water. He has to come. He has to hear your voice, has to listen to you call him with your siren song. Come on, handsome sailor. Come find me.

You peek your head out from behind the rock and see him standing there on the deck, staring at you as his eyes go wide. You smile triumphantly as you duck back under the water, tempting him to come chase you.

Come get me, come get me. Find me under the water.

Joel wastes no time and lowers a wooden row boat to the water, climbing down a ladder as he jumps carefully onto the small boat as it rocks underneath his weight. He rows it out slowly to the middle of the water, searching his eyes every which way to find you.

“Where are you? Come out,” he whispers into the crisp night air.

He hears a splash to the left of him and throws his head in that direction. He sees small bubbles that form over the water, but there’s no sign of you. He sighs and pulls his eyes toward the rock and then he sees you.

He audibly gasps as you splash your tail and hide back behind the shelter of the big foundation in the water, nerves pulling in you as you’re so close to the human. The human with dark eyes and beautiful face. A human you want to meet.

He crawls to the edge of the little boat and places his hands on the edge, calling out to you in a deep voice that sends goosebumps down your arms. “Hey, come out. It’s alright, I won’t hurt you. Please, don’t hide,” he says, calmly holding out an arm as if he wants you to take it.

You peek your head out from behind the rock carefully and see him leaning against the boat, a little too close to the water. He doesn’t know what dangers lurk beneath him, what things would reach out and drag him under the water.

You shouldn’t go, shouldn’t talk to a human. Humans are bad, humans are cold, cruel, vial. They killed so many of your kind, tortured your friends of the sea. But him… Well, he looks kind. He looks… safe. Safe? Could humans be safe? No. Could they…

This was stupid and reckless. You start to turn back into the shadows until he calls out to you again. “Wait, please. Don’t go. Stay,” he pleads, his eyes searching yours with some kind of intensity and longing that you’ve never seen before. It frightens you more than the horrors humans have caused in your life.

Stay. The word wracks your brain over and over as it pulls at your insides.

Stay. He asked you to stay. You decide then that that’s exactly what you’ll do. You’ll stay. You’ll stay for him. You might regret it later, but for now this is what you wanted. What you needed to do.

You start to swim slowly over to him, diving under the water and breaching just inches from his wooden boat. You come up for air, realizing just how close you are to his face now. He’s so beautiful, the most beautiful man you’ve ever seen in your life.

His skin is tan, the sun bronzing him as he seems to spend days on end on the water. His shoulders are broad, so strong as your eyes trail down his thick arms, ropes of taut veins spread wide over his lower arms. His hands look strong, big, calloused from working on a boat. You bet they feel nice, would like to feel them pressed up against your face or maybe have them entwined with your fingers.

His dark, tousled curls kiss his forehead as stray curls fall over his skin. You have to stop yourself from reaching out your hand to push them back into place. You think it must feel so soft, so smooth…

And his eyes. God, his eyes. They’re deep brown, flecks of golden warmth sprawled across the crevices of his irises. They’re beautiful, deep, intricate as they study you carefully.

He digs his hands into the side of the boat and leans so far forward you’re afraid it may tip over. You make sure that it doesn’t because these waters are dangerous to humans, dangerous to men such as himself.

He looks at you with wide eyes, his lips parting as he takes in your features. He’s so close that he can make out details he couldn’t see up on the boat through the telescope. Like your eyes. He’d never seen such beautiful eyes such as yours. They glisten like the stars, almost as deep as the ocean itself, captivating and breathtaking.

He takes in your long hair that sits over your shoulders as you nervously run your hands through the damp strands. And then there’s your tail. That glittering, magnificent tail that almost looks too intricate to be real. He focuses on each shiny scale, watching the way the colors go from a deep pink to a lighter flamingo shade of coral. He wants so badly to reach his hand out to touch it, see how it feels underneath the weight of his calloused fingers.

Just one touch, that’s all he needs. One touch to make this dream a harsh reality as a mermaid sits right in front of him, right in his grasp.

You see the way he stares all transfixed and in a trancelike spell. You might be insane, but the first words fall from your lips without a hint of hesitation there. “Do you want to touch it?” you ask shyly, pulling back a lock of hair behind your ear as you position your tail so it’s sitting out of the water, just inches from his waiting hand.

“What?” he asks surprised, eyes wider than the full moon in the clear night sky.

“My tail. Do you want to touch it?” you ask again with more courage this time, flicking your tail above the water as you entice him to go on.

“Oh-uh… yes,” he whispers out as he slowly but steadily reaches his arm out, ever so carefully extending his fingers as they brush over the side of your tail.

He gasps as his fingers come in contact with the shiny scales, like the breath has been knocked clear out of him. It’s nothing like he imagined it’d be. It’s softer than he thought possible, smooth as he glides his fingers underneath the cold water.

You almost stop breathing as you feel his fingers explore the magnificent scales on your long tail, almost sigh at the contact of his skin. No one had ever touched you quite like this, even if it was just the brush of fingertips. It feels… good. And you want more, need more.

He pulls his hand back out of the water, and you almost whine as you lose the contact of his fingers. You’d let him touch you again, let him marvel your tail all night if he wanted to. It was silly really, how attracted you were to him when you only just met him. He was just that beautiful, that mesmerizing. And for a moment you think he is the siren, not you.

“You’re a… you’re a…” he stutters, voice hoarse as he continues to stare at you with a starstruck gaze. He’d never seen a mermaid before, that much is certain.

“A mermaid?” you finish for him, almost giggling at his gaping stare.

“Yes,” he says in disbelief, nodding his head up and down. “I didn’t know you, mermaids existed,” he says with a look that says everything you need to know. He’s harmless, not here to hurt you.

“Well, we’re very much real. We’re just discrete, careful. We don’t really come up to the surface, not anymore,” you say quietly, shaking away the memories of distant screams and bloodshed that once was long ago. The memories are too painful to relive, so you lock them out of your mind and try to forget every day that you exist in a world that did that to your kind.

He doesn’t ask about the distant sadness in your eyes, you just smile and clear your eyes as you continue to gaze up at him curiously.

“What’s your name?” he asks slowly, eyes never leaving yours as you let your name slip past your tongue. You drop it carefully, giving him information that seems too personal, but you’re in too deep now. You want to know about him, and he clearly wants to know about you. So you’ll let him in, even if that’s a bad idea. A very bad idea.

He repeats your name slowly, going over every syllable so carefully as it rolls off his lips effortlessly. It sounds beautiful the way he says it. You could lean against the edge of the boat and lay your head against your arm as you look up and hear him repeat your name over and over again. Almost like a lullaby as it could put you to sleep with how deep and mesmerizing his smooth voice sounds.

“My name’s Joel. Joel Miller,” he says with deep brown eyes looking down into yours.

You repeat the name over and over in your mind. Joel, Joel, Joel. It pulls at you, calls you as you hook your fingers around the edge of the small boat and feel his hand brush up against yours. You gasp and pull your hand back, feeling an electrical shock run through your entire arm at the connection of skin on skin with him. You’d never felt that before, that kind of connection with anyone. This was new, this was scary, this was dangerous.

He notices the panic in your eyes and puts his hands up calmly. “Hey, hey. It’s okay, darlin’. I’m not gonna hurt you. See?” he asks as he surrenders his hands, letting you know he means no harm.

Darlin’. The name sends warmth through your stomach as you mull over his words. I’m not gonna hurt you. You let those words be a promise as you cautiously put your hands back on the edge of the boat. He brings his hands back down, just enough where if you shift your fingers they’d brush up against his. But for now you stay like this, just enough to still feel that electricity deep in your body.

“Darling, what’s that?” you ask with a raised brow, not having heard the word before.

“You’ve never heard the word darlin’ before?” he asks as he knits his thick brows together, pulling at the seams of your heart.

You shake your head no as droplets of water trickle down your back. “No, guess I haven’t,” you say with an even breath.

“It’s just a term of endearment where I’m from. A nickname, you can say,” he answers, his hand moving just enough for him to brush the outer edge of your pinky finger. You suck in a breath and try not to get too flustered at the action.

“Oh, I see,” you say quietly. “Darlin’, I like that…”

You ponder over the name and ask something else in return. “Do you have any other nicknames you use?” you ask, biting your lip at the question as you wait patiently.

He twitches his jaw and looks you over carefully before he responds. “I mean, there’s a lot I could use, I suppose. Darlin’ just comes naturally to me, but you…” His soft brown eyes flick over yours slowly before he speaks again. “Sirena, yeah. I like that,” he smiles to himself as your lips curl up slowly.

“Sirena, hmmmm,” you hum to yourself. “I like that, but what does it mean?”

“It comes from a Greek word. It means siren or enchantress, which you are. You are quite enchanting,” he says with a gleam in his eyes, his words in a trancelike state as he stares into your eyes.

You gulp at the meaning, eyes fixed on his intently. He called you enchanting, he thinks you’re enchanting. It shouldn’t make you feel so much closer to him, it’s only a nickname, a silly name. But it does. It does.

When you don’t speak, he asks another question. “What’s it like out there? Under the water? To be able to breathe and see things I couldn’t quite imagine myself?” His brown eyes sink into yours, shifting his weight slightly as the wooden boat creaks underneath him.

“It’s the most amazing thing you could imagine,” you say enchanted, your tail grazing above the water as you spin up a small current underneath you. “Unearthly, exquisite. There’s truly nothing like being able to connect with nature, to be able to see the wonders of fathoms below that no human has seen before. It’s freeing, beautiful, amazing, but…”

Your voice cuts off at the last part, thinking about all the things you wish you knew about the real world outside the waters of your home. Something you always wanted to know ever since you could remember. A taste for knowledge of the outside world, the human world.

“But what?” he asks quietly, almost putting his hand on top of yours before you shy away and move your fingers out of his reach.

“I just… I just wonder what the human world is like sometimes. I shouldn’t. I know I shouldn’t. But I just have that deep fascination with things I don’t quite understand. I crave to know the history of the land, want to know what it’s like to touch actual sand out of the water. Want to know how a…. oh, what’s the word?” you wrack your brain for what seems like minutes until you think of the word you once saw on a picture in a book. “How a fire burns,” you say proudly after remembering the strange words.

“Maybe I can teach you a thing or two about the human world. If you teach me about the underwater world.”

You mull over the words, think of what you could be risking. You could expose too much, you could open up a can of worms that you couldn’t close. You could risk everything. But for him maybe it was worth the risk. You could trust him, right?

As if he can read your mind, he places a hand gently on top of yours and you gasp at the contact. His touch is so careful, so soft atop yours. You think you like it, a lot. “You can trust me, darlin’. I swear on my life, I won’t hurt you. Do you trust me?”

Do you trust me? The words ring through your head as you question the words yourself. Trust was a big deal, trust meant you were putting your own life on the line. But as you look into his soft brown eyes and see the genuine smile curled on his plush lips, you can’t help but lose yourself as you automatically nod and respond, “I trust you.”

His face is so close to yours, so close that if he leaned down just a little he could brush his lips against yours. It’s as if he can hear the wild beating of your heart as it beats like a pod of dolphins traveling as fast as lightning through the water. Your eyes gaze into his, begging him to sink his lips down to yours.

He reaches his hand out and traces the edge of your jawline slowly, intimately. You gasp at the feel of him, as his calloused fingers trail gently over your skin. It feels warm, safe, so very right like his hand was made to touch you, to know you. He sees you. He sees you.

Just when he’s about to lean down and give you what you desire, the boat suddenly flips over and Joel goes crashing into the water.

“Joel!” you scream as you dive down to retrieve him, but he’s not there where he should be. Where is he? You call his name again, search below the dark depths below, twist your way through the seaweed and look frantically around until you see what exactly happened.

Your eyes go wide, a scream escaping your mouth as you find two of your sisters holding him down below the water trying to drown him. He fights their grip, trying to hold his breath as he looks terrified of what’s happening. Your sisters just smile vindictively to each other as their aquamarine and deep purple tails flick against the water and draw their sharp nails into his arms.

“Stop!” you beg as you swim desperately up to them and try to grab his arms out of their reach. They back up just enough so you can’t quite grab him.

Cleo stands her grown and flashes her white incisors your way as her blue tail fans out behind her. “He’s a human! A man, for crying out loud! All men should die for what they did to us,” she spits out, a snarl deep on her flawless face as your other sister Marissa agrees with her.

“He’s different. Joel is different!” you plead, reaching your hand out again.

“Joel. You know him by name? Can you believe that, Cleo? He has a name. How thoughtful of our sister to learn such information of this beast,” she laughs sadistically as she yanks him under again.

You watch his eyes start to close, watch his breath gasp for air as he slowly fades from the light. You grow desperate, hasty as you swim with all your might to grab his arms out of your sisters’ grip.

“Please, he’s kind! Don’t do this. Don’t take this one!” you beg as tears start to pour from your eyes, landing against your cheeks as they float off into the unsteady waters.

Your sisters drop their hands, eyes wide at how desperate you’re acting over a human. But he’s not just a human, he’s different. This one is different.

They both watch you take his body against yours as you wrap your arms behind the backs of his arms and start to hoist him to the surface. They stop you before you breach atop the water, grabbing your slippery fin as they stop you from swimming any further.

“You better be careful, sister. You don’t know what danger you’re putting us in. Interacting with a man? You’re foolish, selfish. How do you think father will handle this?” Cleo asks with narrowed eyes that could kill a man with how sharp she’s staring.

“Don’t you dare tell him, Cleo. Just… let me go. Please,” you beg as you try to squirm out of her hold. “He’s going to die if you don’t!” you scream, eyes wide as his head slumps against your shoulder weightless, almost like he’s already dead. Panic consumes you at the mere thought of it.

“Go on, then,” she says with a snarky look. “I won’t tell him… yet. But be warned. If he does anything to sway my judgement and I mean anything, I’ll have no choice but to tell him,” she warns as Marissa spits in your direction.

Cleo finally releases your fin as you swim frantically up, up, up until you break the seal and breathe fresh air again. Joel doesn’t stir, doesn’t even seem to be breathing as his head still rests lazily against the crook of your neck.

You look around desperately for anything you can lay him on, needing to stir him awake somehow. You need to get him someplace dry.

“Joel, just hold on. You’ll be alright. Please, just hang on,” you cry out as you circle around frantically looking for anything you can use.

That’s when you see it, a large flat rock that lays above the water in the middle of the sea cave you always find yourself in. You push yourself forward in the water, making sure to keep his head above the stirring waves. You turn on your back and hold his body above yours as you propel your strong tail in the water, trying with all your might to get there faster.

He’s going to die and it’s all your fault. Why were you being so reckless? The words taunt your mind like your sisters’ glaring warnings. You can’t think about them now, the only thing you care about is getting Joel to wake up. He needs to breathe, he needs to wake up.

You drag his body up on the smooth rock and lay him flat on his back. He has no sign of breathing anywhere, his chest is still as dawn like the sun slowly rising in the horizon.

You try to shake his shoulders, try to rub at his sternum forcefully as if that’ll wake him up. Nothing happens. You try again, calling his name and shaking him, screaming for him to wake up. But again there’s no movement, no breath coming from his mouth.

You crash down on top of him and wrap your arms around his neck, letting a tear drop from your melancholy eyes as it falls against his still chest. You whimper out a pathetic sound that sounds like you’re choking on your own words. “Come back to me, Joel. Come back,” you plead, face still pressed against his hollow chest as you let another tear fall in his presence.

You feel cold, hard pressed, wounded as if someone just took a sharp stake to your chest. You shouldn’t feel like this, shouldn’t let yourself feel so much for a human who you barely know. But he was going to show you his world, was going to teach you everything you wanted to know, and you were going to show him your world. But that’s no more. He’s gone. He’s gone.

You let the falling tears dry up on his cotton white shirt where the buttons lay half opened to expose tanned skin, can feel just how broad and strong he is underneath your weight. And you wish he’d wake up, wish he’d open his soft brown eyes so you could sink into them, sing him a melody while he grazed his fingers gently against your face. You want it so bad, want him so bad. But it could never be now. Not anymore.

You let your hand fall to his chest and wrap your fingers around his damp white shirt. You start to hum out your favorite lullaby, a way to soothe you over against the hurt you feel in your chest now as it aches and twists like a knife in your gut. Singing has always been a way to make you feel braver, a way to drown out the sorrows of dark days. Your mother always said you had the most beautiful voice she’d ever heard, but she was also gone now. Gone on that awful, dark day where blood filled the waters of your home. Gone.

You push the thoughts away, continue singing your song as if this will make the situation better. You close your eyes and drown out the lapping waves with your voice, making sure it echoes off every corner in the open cave.

Just as you’re about to push yourself off him, you feel movement underneath you. Just a faint lurch beneath you until he’s turning on his side and coughing up water out of his lungs rapidly, spilling it all over the glossy rock as he tries to catch his breath from all the choking and coughing his body expels.

“Joel?!” you ask alarmed, your hand shooting up to his face as you caress the soft, patchy scruff against his jawline carefully.

He lays on his back again and slowly opens his eyes, placing his hand over yours as he calls your name softly, his words still laced with salt water that still burns the back of his throat, but he answers anyway. And your name out of his mouth sounds like the sweetest thing you’ve ever heard.

“You’re alive?” you ask quietly, eyes wide as you stare down at him with your mouth parted open slightly.

“Thanks to you, I am,” he says with a nod up at you, his hand still lingering on top of yours as his calloused fingers send sparks down your arm. It’s electric, shocking as it blinds you with need.

You gulp but don’t say anything else, too afraid to ruin the moment. “Your voice,” he says nodding to you again, “I’ve never heard a voice quite as beautiful as yours. I thought I was in heaven for a second there, thought you were an angel.”

Beautiful? An angel? Oh.

“An angel? Not quite,” you giggle, dropping your hand from his face to rest on his broad chest.

He lifts his arm up slowly and hooks a piece of damp hair behind your ear, trailing his calloused fingers along your cheek as he stares at you with wide brown eyes. Eyes that make your insides turn to putty.

“You are an angel,” he nods, his lips curling up into a soft smile that could knock you back into the water.

He thinks you’re an angel…

“Oh,” is all you can say.

He looks at you like no one else has, looks at you like you’re the only girl in the world. He sees you for what you are, a siren, and yet he doesn’t run. He doesn’t run. He stays.

His lips look so soft, so plush that you think you’d like to feel them pressed up against yours. His eyes flick back and forth between your wanting eyes and your parted mouth, and you think he wants the same thing.

You start to drift toward him, closer and closer until you’re almost there, almost touching his lips. He reaches to cup the back of your head, steering you down, down until you’re barely a breath away from him.

Suddenly there’s a large splash in the water, and you jump apart from him as he sits up on his elbows and gazes out into the dark blue rippling water. He sees a large fin and goes ghost white as he takes in the long body of the great white shark that lurks around the area. His eyes go wide as he sinks against the cave wall behind him as if to hide from the creature of the deep.

“It’s alright,” you say calmly as you reach your arm under the shadow of the water and call the shark over to you. Joel’s chest rises and falls unsteadily as his eyes remain locked on the terrifying features of Scar.

“Your hand, get your hand out of the water,” Joel urges as he tries to pull you back, but you wave him off.

“Joel, it’s alright. He’s my friend.”

Scar circles back around and brushes his body up against your hand as you pet his back and let him disappear back under the water.

“You’re friends with a shark?” he asks surprised, eyes still peeled on the shadow that looms around the area.

“Mhm. I saved his life many years ago, and he’s never left my side since then. Kinda ironic how people misinterpret them. Sharks may look scary to the human eye, but they’re really peaceful creatures. If you just took a few minutes to really see them, you’d see they’re just trying to live peacefully in their home. They just want to survive like any of us do.”

Joel looks at you as if really hearing you for the first time. The way you talk about the ocean, about the creatures of the deep makes him feel things he’s never even thought of before. He thinks you’re beautiful, breathtaking, and so kind. So very kind…

“You’re really something out of a fairytale, aren’t you?” he asks with wonder in his voice, his brown eyes sinking into yours as he focuses on the warm smile you give him as you blush crimson.

“I guess you could say that, sailor?” you giggle out. “That’s what you are, right?”

“Yes,” he nods as he looks over at his boat that sits idle over the calm tides.

“Is that your boat?” you ask as your eyes wander over to the large vessel that sits in the water under sparkling stars. You flick your eyes over the sides, noticing the large blue flags that fly gently in the cool breeze and notice the words Deep Blue Oasis written in cursive letters that hang down the side.

“Yep, that’s my beauty. Been sailin’ on her for a few years now. Probably one of my favorite things ever. To be able to sail across the waters and explore areas I’ve never been to before. It’s all very… exciting.”

You watch the way his eyes light up the way he talks about the sea, watch the way his smile curls over his lips as he talks about his love for sailing. You think it’s hypnotizing, beautiful. You think he is beautiful.

“What are you doing around this part? Looking for something?” you ask as your eyebrows rise up, intrigued why he was staying around these parts.

“There was a ship that went down many years ago here. There’s all sorts of tales and rumors that some great treasure was lost here with the ship. And I want to find it,” he states excitedly.

A shipwreck many years ago? You think you know which one he’s talking about, like maybe it was that same night that all the bloodshed went down. The night you lost your mother to those bloodsucking humans…

He notices your eyes shift from lit up to cold irises, feels the dread that seems to take over your body for the moment. But then he’s cupping your chin and lifting your eyes up to his warm brown eyes, and you feel like you’ve made it safely back home.

“You alright, darlin’? You went away for a minute there,” he asks as his concerned eyes gaze into yours. You nod your head and let him continue to keep his hand on your skin. You’ll let him keep it there for as long as he wants.

You smile up at him and nod in response. “I’m okay, was just thinking about something,” you say with a daze to your tone, somber eyes coming back down to earth.

“Was there something specific you were looking for?” you ask as his fingers continue to trace down your skin. It feels like complete magic that holds you under a spell.

“Not really. You see, I kinda have a fascination with history. You should see my study. I have hundreds of books and ancient artifacts that I’ve found in the sea. You’d love it,” he says with a crooked smile splayed against his face. It makes a dimple form deep in his cheek, and it nearly takes your breath away.

His study sounds a lot like the secret cave you have deep underwater that’s full of human treasures that you’d collected over the years from lost ships and things thrown overboard from wasteful humans. It’s a little sanctuary for you, a place you can go to clear your mind and wonder just what it’d be like to walk on land. What it’d be like to have your own pair of legs. But you love the sea so much, you don’t think you’d ever want to leave. But for him, you might just follow him anywhere.

You sigh as you lean into his touch, wishing you could see just what he’s talking about. “I wish I could see it,” you say quietly, eyes trailing back to his doe eyes as he speaks again.

“Maybe someday you will.” And it sounds like a promise, like he will show you one day. But how? You have a tail, you can’t walk. Your home is in the ocean, not on land. But if you could find a way to do both then you would. There had to be a way.

“Maybe,” you say dreamlike as you dream of warm sand on your feet, walking hand in hand with him on the beach. A distant wish you so wanted to be true. But it wasn’t, and you had to deal with that.

You stay there another moment letting his calloused fingers run along your jawline as you watch his eyes settle in on your face. Before you get lost for too long, you pull out of his reach and sink back into the cool water.

“I guess I should get you back to your boat,” you say sadly, eyes averting from his as to not dwell on the beautiful flecks of mixed browns that you want to get lost in again and again until you can’t see anything but them anymore.

“Yeah, guess so,” he says quietly, a voice that screams for you to stay, but you can’t. He doesn’t belong here.

“Wait here,” you say before you take off to retrieve his small wooden boat that’ll take him safely back to dry ground.

As you wade through the water you get a sick sense that this can only end badly, but it was too late. You were already in too deep, and you already wanted to see him again. This was bad, so bad.

You turn over the toppled boat and throw the rows back inside, pulling it along as you drag it back to him safely. You place it against the rock he sits on and watch him climb in, situating himself as he takes the rows in his hands. Before he heads back to his large boat, he stops and stares at you.

“Can I see you again?” he asks quietly as the cool breeze blows a tousled curl against his forehead. Without thinking you reach up and push it back into place, feeling just how soft his hair really feels. He lets you, and it feels as soft as velvety moss.

You drop your hand back down and before you can, he grabs your wrist and stares deeply into your eyes, eliciting a gasp out of your mouth as his fingers dig into your soft flesh. You let him keep you there until you give him a clear answer.

You think of your options, think of what you might be risking if you see him again. Would your sisters try to drown him again, would he try to steal you away from the sea, would your father find out that you were meddling in human affairs? All of the questions were valid and unknown, but you couldn’t bring yourself to say no. You wanted to see him again, needed to.

“Yes. Tomorrow night,” you say without any hesitation.

He nods his head and smiles down at you as he gently lets his fingers fall from your skin as your hand splashes back down underneath the water.

“Tomorrow it is then. See you later, Sirena.” The nickname falls off his tongue like a sweet melody that fills your ears. Sirena, enchantress, siren.

You watch him row back to his boat, watching the way his biceps bulge every time he pulls back on the rows. He looks a little like your own Prince Charming. A sailor that had captured your heart, and you weren’t willing to take it back. It was his now, as long as he wanted it.

He looks back at you before climbing up the steep ladder. He smiles gently your way and nods before turning back to the ladder and climbing up, disappearing from your view as he makes his way below the deck.

You sigh and rest your elbow against the glossy rock he was just sitting on minutes ago, daydreaming about those dreamy brown eyes and his smile that knocks the breath out of your chest.

Scar circles back around and comes up beside you, nudging you with his large snout as you gently pet the top of his head. “I know, Scar. I know. I’m in so much trouble.”

You sink back underneath the water and follow him back home, back to the kingdom of Capri where you belong. But you keep your mind locked on those sweet, syrupy eyes that you so desperately want to see again.

Joel was going to be your undoing.

════ ⋆★⋆ ════

Eric and [Y/n] smiled as they looked up at the night sky on the beach. Deciding to continue stargazing on the beach rather than end their night now. As they lay on the sandy shore with their hands at their side were mere inches from each other.

This moment reminded them of their childhood spent together. They used to lie on the beach, feeling the gentle ocean waves brushing against the shore and hitting their feet. They would gaze at the stars above while holding hands, enjoying the enchanting view of the starry sky from the shore.

As he spoke about the star constellations in the night sky, she listened intently, tracing each one with her eyes as he pointed them out. Her heart beat faster as she reached out hesitantly, her fingers inching toward his hand. Blushing, she paused for a moment before finally wrapping her pinkie around his.

"And that one is-" he stopped, when he suddenly felt her pinkie finger interlocked with his own. Their eyes met and time stood still as they gazed at each other. A moment of silence passed between them, as they continued to hold each other's gaze. Embarrassed, she let go removing her pinkie from around his. Mentally cursing herself for doing something so stupid.

'stupid y/n your so stupid!'

'he only sees you as a friend'

'why would he like y-'

Her body tensed up as he took her hand intertwining his fingers with hers. Now all the blood had rushed to her cheeks they were now a bright shade of red. Her heart was pounding against her chest as if she'd just run from the castle to the village. Breathing out slowly calming her nerves she intertwined her fingers with his, smiling sheepishly as she did so.

"T-This brings back memories.." She nervously said, slowly turning to look at him. He smiled, "It really does." He said, smiling back as the two lay there underneath the stars.

Eric continued to talk about the stars and [Y/n] slowly started to doze off not from his talking, but from the whole day of fun they had in the village. Slowly nodding off but trying to keep herself awake not wanting to seem rude, but slowly sleep overcame her. As it did she leaned her head against Eric's shoulder.

My Little Mermaid Part 2:Under the Sea

Series Masterlist

Y/N looked around frantically trying to get sight of the prince. She watched as he sank underneath the surface and quickly swam down and grabbed him. Once she had a hold of him she pulled him back up to the surface and kept him afloat. 

MINI TIME SKIP

Play Part of Your World reprise I for the best experience

Y/N dragged the prince to the surface as the sun came up. She lied him down gently on the shore  and  gently carresed his cheek observing his features.  She softly began to hum her siren song. She watched as the prince slowly turned his head.

Sebastian watched in horror from afar, knowing that if the king ever found out about this he would be in big trouble.

"What would I give to live where you are," she softly sang, "what would I pay to stay here beside you."

"What would I do to see you, smiling at me," she continued as she gently caressed a cut that had formed above his brow,  "Where would we walk, where would we run, if we could stay all day in the sun." The prince slowly reached for the mermaids hand that had found its way on his chest.

"Just you and me," the mermaid fantasized as the prince slowly opened his eyes, "and I could be part of your world" Her attention was quickly diverted away from the prince when she heard the shouts of several men and watched as they approached the shore with torches and lanterns. She quickly got back in the water and swam behind a rock so that she could watch from afar.

"He's alive," she heard a voice shout.

“Alert the Queen," another voice exclaimed.

"What are you doing child,” Sebastian asked approaching the rocks.

"Oh, hey Sebastian, i wasnt expecting to see you here" Scuttle greeted as she stood on the rock and looked at Y/N, " and i definetly wasn't expecting to see her here.

"Look we just going to forget this whole thing ever happend," the crab suggested,"the sea king will never know, ”the crab continued. "You wont tell him and I won't tell him," the crab explained to both Y/N and the bird. "And I will stay in one piece"

Y/N slowly crept up a rock and watched as the prince was taken back to the palace. "I dont know when," she sang again, "I don't know how,"

"But I know somethings starting right now," she continued to climb up the rock, "Watch and you'll see,"

"Someday I'll be," she sang now that she was fully on the rock.

"Part of your world" she sung as a giant wave crashed behind her.

Y/N's GROTTO

PLAY UNDER THE SEA FOR BEST EXPERIENCE(watch the music video for visuals if you want)

Y/N carefully admired the statue that she collected from the ship wreck. She gently carresed it's face,"Wouldn't you just look at the longing in his eyes," she sighed dreamily

"What do you know about longing child," Sebastian asked. Y/N scoffed and rolled her eyes as she  swam out of her grotto.

“Okay okay listen to me the human world is a mess,” Sebastian stated, ”life under the sea is better than anything they got going on up there,” Sebastian sat on a rock next to Y/N and crawled next to her.

“The seaweed is always greener,” the crab sang as he seperated some grass near the rock with his claws,”in somebody elses lake,”

“You dream of going up there,” Sebastian sang as he watched the mermaid attempt to swim to the surface.

“But that is a big mistake,” implied the crab as he pulled Y/N back under the sea which earned a scoff from her, “just look at the world around you right here on the ocean floor”

“Such wonderful things surround you,” Sebastian commented, “what more is you looking for?”

“Under the sea,” the crab sang, “Under the sea"

“Darling its better, down where its wetter,” the crab stated, “take it from me”

“Up on the shore they work all day, out in the sun, they slave away,” Sebastian claimed while swimming around, “while we devoted full time to floatin under the sea”

Sebastian watched as Y/N swam off and scoffed and rolled his eyes before swimming after her.

“Down here all the fish is happy,” sebastian sang as the dolphins swam around happily, “ as off through the waves they roll”

“The fish on the land ain’t happy,” the crab claimed, “ they sad 'cause they in their bowl”

“But fish in the bowl is lucky,” suggested the crab as he hitched a ride on the back of a dolphin “They in for a worser fate,” Sebastian explained to the mermaid.

“One day when the boss get hungry, guess who gon be on the plate,” Sebastian rhetorically asked Y/N while swimming towards her causing her to back away and sit down on a squid.

“Under the sea,” he continued. “Under the sea,” he sang as Y/N lay on the back of the squid and ran her fingers through the coral.

“Nobody beat us, fry us, and eat us in fricassee” the crab exclaimed. “We waht the land folk love to cook,” he explained. “Under the sea we off the hook,”he sang as Y/N swam and danced with the jellyfish.

“We got no troubles,” the crab boasted, “life is the bubbles, under the sea”

“Under the sea,” Y/N sang along.

“Hey, under the sea,” the crab continued glad the girl was understanding.

“Under the sea,” she sang happily as she lay comfortably on the backs of a group of jellyfish

“Yes, child,” he encouraged. “Since life is sweet here, we got the beat here naturally,” he sang to her. 

“Naturally,” she adlibbed as she gave the crab a gentle lift causing him to float.

“Even the sturgeon and the ray,” the crab listed as he watched several sting rays swim around happily, “they get the urge and start to play.”

“We got the spirit, you got to hear it,” Sebastian exclaimed as he and Y/N swam around with the various sea creatures, “under the sea”

“Watch this,” the crab announced as he started to dance on the back of a sea turtle and watched the mermaid sit on the back on the back of one,"the newt play the flute, the carp play the harp"

“The plaice play the bass,” he sung as Y/N danced on the back of a turtle as they walked happily on the ocean floor. “And they sounding sharp,” he commented.

“The bass play the brass,” he continued, “the chub play the tub”

“The fluke is the duke of the soul,” he stated, “the ray he can play, the ling’s on the strings, the trout rockin out, the blackfish she sings” Y/N watched in amusement as the starfish stood up and began to sway side to side.

“The smelt and the sprat, they know where it’s at” Sebastian remarked. “And oh the blowfish, blow,” he exclaimed as Y/N gently blew on the blowfish and giggled as it puffed up.

Y/N swam to an area with clustered rocks and sat down on the edge of one as she was surrounded by several beautiful striped creatures that danced around her. She watched happily as the sea mushroom began to dance on the rock next to her and swam towards them to get a closer look.

She became mesmerized as she watched the multicolor squids and stingrays dance together in synch. She soon felt herself being gently lifted into a cave by a jellyfish. She was soon surrounded my several fluorescent jellyfish and was amazed by their beauty. She watched as they collectively spun their tentacles in synchronized movements. Suddenly, she was on the backs of several jellyfish and was being moved towards a slide and childishly giggled as she went down it and as it came to an end she found herself back in the open water.

“Under the sea, “ Sebastian started again with his musical number.

“Under the sea,” Y/N joined in and smiled at the crab.

MEANWHILE AT ERIC’S CASTLE

“I will not rest until I find her, I need a boat I have to get out there” Eric stated stubbornly as he stood up from the table. 

“Eric, this is ridiculous,” the Queen rebuttled, “how many times have I told you that the sea gods are against us.”

“Grimsby, how many shipwrecks have we had in these waters this year?” The Queen asked her advisor.

“Um, six your majesty,” he answered as he looked down at his feet.

”You are not leaving this castle until you’re feeling better”

“I’ll feel better when I find her,” Eric remarked as he scoffed at his mother’s statements and walked away and went outside for some fresh air.

*PLAY WILD UNCHARTED WATERS FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE*

ah, ah, ah, ah

"All I ever wanted,was the open sea and sky,” the prince sang as he walked down near the shore, ”freedom from the life I always knew”

"Now all I am is haunted, as days and hours roll by, “ he sang as he sat down on the edge of a rock, "All I ever think about is you”

"There you are (ah), over me (ah)” he stood up hearing the beautiful voice of the girl who saved him in his head,”taking me with your song to (ah)”

"Wild uncharted waters,” he vocalized as he walked down the stairs, "Miles beyond the sea”

"I was darkness bound, I had almost drowned, til you came around, and you found me,” he ran closer and closer to the shore until he reached the shoreline.

"Now I am on the shoreline, but I'm still lost at sea,” he expressed his feelings through his words as he stood on top of a rock and desperately scanned the sea with his eyes.

"In these wild uncharted waters,” he expressed his desires to see the mystery girl again ,"Come find me, again”

"All I do is wonder,who you are and where you'll be,in my mind, your melody goes on,” he replayed the beautiful melody in his song over and over again.

"Stronger than the undertow,the night you rescued me,” he remembered opening his eyes and seeing a blurry silhouette,"Silhouetted by the rising dawn”

"Oh (ah), over you (ah),” he gently swayed and closed his eyes,"I cannot get over you (ah)"

"In wild uncharted waters,beyond where man can see,” he vocalized as he imagined himself on a ship searching for her,"When your eyes outshine the horizon line”

"And you're finally real, here beside me,I'm right here on the shoreline,” he expressed his desires to have the girl in arms reach.

"I'm right where you left me,and your voice is like, a siren that guides me to wild uncharted waters,” he sang as he envisioned himself climbing up the ship and staring out to the ocean.

"Alone, just you and me,” he fantasized,”And I hope you're there in the open air,”

"There's no map or compass to guide me, no,” he sat down on a pole on the ship,"Time may change the shoreline,but time will not change me”

"If it takes my life,I will finally find you again,” he sang desperately as he looked out into the horizon.

“In wild uncharted waters,” he declared. "Come find me,” he whispered, “again"

OUTSIDE THE PALACE

"Look at this mess," Caspia exclaimed in anger as she picked up debris from the ship.

"Another shipwreck," Karina explained to Y/N while picking up pieces of the ship,"don't they have any idea how much damage they cause" 

"Of course they do," Mala suggested as she saw Y/N approaching, "all humans are destructive"

"I don't think they intend to have them," Y/N suggested bravely as her sisters looked at her horrified.

"What about humans," all seven mermaids turned around hearing their fathers voice.

"Look at what they did," Mala exclaimed as her father scanned the scene, “They had another wreck"

All 7 sisters watched as the king picked up a piece of the ship and threw it off the edge of the rock and watched as it hit the ground and caused a loud thud.

  KING TRITONS LAIR

"Sebastian," the king's voice called out as a castle guard dropped the crab onto the chair of the king's throne. 

"Yes?," the crab asked nervously, "I mean yes your majesty?"

"Have you noticed that my Y/N has been acting different lately," the king inquired staring at the crab.

"Different," the crab asked cautiously trying to see if he was hinting at something, " isn't that how all teenagers act?"

"Tell me," the king asked, "is my little Y/N in love,"

“ Ok yes,she went to the surface and she" the crab began realizing what he said and immdiately stopped.

"She what!" the king asked in anger, "she went to the surface?"

"What, who said anything about the surface," the crab laughed nervously trying to distract the king but he was too late.

Y/N's GROTTO 

Y/N was once again admiring the statue when she heard her fathers voice.

"You went to the surface!" the king shouted, "how many times have I told you-"

"Father, I" Y/N jumped up as she started trying to calm him down

"You could get hurt," he yelled, "how many times have i told you that humans are bombarions and savages"

"Not all humans are like that," Y/N attempted to explain

"And how would you know," the king asked

"I saved one," she admitted, " He almost drowned"

"Well you should've let him drown," he shouted, "this obsession with the human world has to stop," The king began to power up his trident and aimed it at one of the many human trinkets in her grotto.

"Father, no" Y/N cried out as she grabbed on the trident in an attempt to stop him but was quickly pushed aside. She watched in horror as her father destroyed one of the items in her collection. "Father, please" she exclaimed as he aimed the trident at the statue and attempted to move it out of harm's way but she was too late. She stared at her father terrified as the statue broke into several parts.

Y/N let out a single tear as her father left and she picked up the unattached hand of the statue. 

"Oh you poor unfortunate soul, Daddy's been so unfair, hasn't he?" A mysterious voice called out to the mermaid.

A/N: I might stop adding the songs tbh not sure, lmk how you guys like it. Couldn’t really write the visuals for Wild Uncharted Waters as thorough and accurately as i wanted because I didn’t know if he was actually on a boat or if it was just his imagination.  My writing is lowkey horrible but imma work on it I promise lol.

request: Hii love your work. Can I request an Ariel x Fem! Reader where reader is a mermaid human hybrid like when she's on land she has human legs.She can sing but Is really shy and is friends with Eric but Ariel falls in love with her not Eric if that isn't too much??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You and Eric had been best friends for almost half of your lives but there was one thing he didn't know about you was that you were half mermaid. See you were born under unique circumstances, Your mom a mermaid had mated with a human man who was a pirate that she had fallen in love with and thus you were created, and gave you the ability to walk on land as a human but if you went into water, you would grow a tail and have all your mermaid abilities.

"Alright, what's going on with you? You've got a dreamy look in your eye." You asked Eric.

"You'll think I'm crazy." He said.

"Try me after all I'm your best friend." You said to him.

"So when I woke up on shore, I swore I saw a girl leaning over me, and her voice gosh that voice, it's stuck in my head, like a melody." He said.

"I'm sure you'll find her. She has to be around here somewhere." You said. 

It was a few days later and you had been walking around the castle looking for Eric when you saw him and a girl a beautiful girl at that, that you'd never seen before making you wonder if this was the girl he had told you about.

"Y/n, this is Ariel. Ariel this is my friend y/n." He said as you two looked at each other.

You gave her a small wave as she smiled at you, she was so beautiful that you found yourself blushing and standing behind Eric in a way to hide from her. Eric rolled his eyes, he always found your shyness adorable and always looked out for you during this moment. 

"Forgive my friend, she is quite shy sometimes but I do think you two will be great friends." Eric said squeezing your shoulder as he spoke to Ariel.  

The next day Ariel was walking around the castle when she heard this beautiful voice, making her confused as she went to find out who it belong to. The song got louder as she reached the voice when reached the voice where she saw you and Max sitting, not wanting to spook you she took a seat on the stairs of the castle and listened to you with a dreamy look on her face. 

The more time you spent together, the more you started to fall for her which was hard because you did like Eric a lot and kinda felt like you were moving in on his girl but how could you not, she was so beautiful and had so much wonder about her and could speak without actually speaking.

Ariel was in the same boat as you, she had originally come on land to be with Eric but from the moment she met you, she found herself falling for you. You were different from Eric in some ways but you both loved the ocean and the unknown and you always made sure she felt included which mean spending time with her when Eric was busy and your voice when you sang was music to your ears. Now she felt even more torn on what to do because she had felt herself falling for you and that voice. 

So imagine both of ya'lls confusion and everyone else's when he came forward with a new woman he was going to marry. You noticed how Eric didn't seem like his usual self with this girl, so you walked over to admire her necklace which irritated her.

"Can you stop?" She asked you getting annoyed.

"I'm just admiring the quality." You said pulling it a little hard and making it fall to the ground with an oops.

You watched as the necklace broke and the orb flew over to Ariel and into her mouth as she started to sing as Eric ran over to her.

"Eric there's so much I need to tell you and y/n!" She said.

"You are too late!" Vanessa shouted as a tail grew where Ariel's legs were making you and everyone shocked.

"Too late red!" Ursula said taking off with Ariel into the sea.

"Ariel!" You said jumping in after her as Eric followed you on his boat.

Eric and Ariel were both in shock seeing you with a tail, as you guys fought Ursla together. Between the three of you, you were able to defeat her and rescue Eric and her dad who in turn gave Ariel her legs once he saw how happy she was with you two.

"I know you have questions, but let me explain first." You said nervously making your way to land.

"My mother was a mermaid like Ariel and she fell in love with a human pirate who used to travel these very waters and they ended up mating and thus me a human-mermaid hybrid which means I can walk on land and be human like you Eric but if I go in the water, I turn back into a mermaid-like you Ariel." You said.

"Wait you're the hybrid? My sisters used to tell me stories of you." Ariel asked shocked.

"Yes. After my mother died, I went to live with my dad for my protection and that's how I ended up meaning Eric and I never really had a reason to go back into the water. I'm sorry I never told you guys, especially you Eric." You said to them.

"It's alright y/n. I understand why you did, why you both did it, but I must admit to you guys something. I was in love with Ariel at first but over the last few days I noticed something." He said. 

"What's that?" You both asked. 

"That you two are meant to be and I won't stand in the way of that." He said placing your hands in hers as you looked at her. 

"I mean he's not wrong, I was instantly attracted to you from the moment we met and then I fell deeper in love with you the more I got to know you." You said with a shy smile. 

"I'm in love with you as well. I have come up here for him but the more me and you spent time together, the more I fell for you." She said with a smile as you two kissed.
