Disney Taken Over

Almost There

Chapter 14

I was back underwater standing- no floating in front of the entrance to Ursula's horrible horrible cave. I could just hear her horrible cackling, and see those large purple hands stroking the skin of her two pet eels.

Those vile things didn't even deserve the honor of being called a sea animal! They were a disgrace to my daddy, and quite frankly me. The two mishaps were disasters on the go.

I tried walking, but I couldn't move at all, it was as if I was rooted firmly to the ground. I looked down, expecting to see feet, but instead coming face to face with a green tail.

Oh my Walt I was a mermaid. My red hair floated all around me, a cloud of crimson blood color circling my head. I hadn't been like this is so long! I twitched my tail around, so happy to see I could move easily once I swam instead of walked.

I was in a complete state of euphoria, until I heard my name being called out. The voice that was whispering 'Ariel' sounded familiar, and I knew it was Aurora.

Her melodic voice snapped me out of my happy world with my fish tail. I remembered our grave situation, and knew something bad was happening to them too.

I took a deep breath, but all I was greeted with was black water being sucked into my nose. I coughed and coughed and struggled to get air in, but t was like the water was stuck in my nose! I couldn't breathe! Oh no oh no oh no....

I was a mermaid! And I was drowning... The irony struck me, sure I have heard of stories of merpeople going much too deep in the ocean to bear it anymore, but never a story of someone dying because of lack of oxygen above the 'death' level!

Slowly, the world faded to black, and I couldn't swim any further. I saw images of my sisters, my mother, who was long gone, and my father. Everyone looked sad, and terrified, except my mother.

She wore a calm and happy expression on her face, her mouth curving up into a beautiful smile. Everything about her was warm and inviting, and she held out her hand, her eyes deep purple and inviting.

Wait. Deep purple? My mothers eyes were caramel... The only person I knew with eyes like that was Ursula.

"Mom?" I somehow managed to whisper through the gunk in my nose. She didn't answer, and at that moment I knew for a fact this was Ursula. "Stop!" I shouted, my voice muffled slightly.

There were colorful dots everywhere, and I watched in horror as my mothers pretty smiled turned down into an ugly sneer, her thin arms and tail morphing into big fat black tentacles. Her hair stopped floating around her, becoming rigid and straight like a stick at the top of her head.

I stood in front of a cackling Ursula, and just then, I couldn't take it any longer and all I could feel was skin on my hand pulling me out of the way, before Ursula could attack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by the only two people I could trust, Aladdin and Ariel. We were all standing, mere feet from the top of the stairs.

Those ten steps it took to get to the entrance to the villains must have been rigged! I had no idea how I had gotten here, and judging on Aurora and Aladdin's puzzled expressions, they couldn't understand what had happened either.

"Well..." Aladdin was first to recover, and he looked at Aurora then back to me, his head swinging left and right, back anf forth between me and Aurora, finally settling on me.

His brown eyes settled into my own crystal blue ones, and he had an unreadable expression on his face. Under his intense gaze, I blushed. Why was this happening to me? Argh! It needed to stop, but my cheeks didn't seem to understand that Aladdin was taken.

HEY CHEEKS, ALADDIN IS FORBIDDEN TERRITORY. Oh goodness I was talking to my cheeks. I must be going crazy. Yes I am definitely going crazy.

First, I lied to my daddy, then I lied to my big sister, and then I actually let myself like Aladdin, and now not only was I talking to myself, I was talking to my cheeks!

Aladdin cleared his throat and I was swooped from la la land. "We need to move on now." He declared, pointing towards the hall that led to none other than the big three. Gulp.

I tucked a strand of my crimson hair behind my ear, and started gnawing in my lip. I hadn't chewed my lips since I was 16! I really was going crazy.

I didn't take a step, when I felt a small hand slip into mine, and I looked at the hand, my gaze creeping upwards, and I saw Aurora.

She was trembling slightly, but I squeezed her hand, and tried my best to smile reassuringly. It's hard to stay strong, especially when the end was so near.

All of a sudden, I found myself wrapping my hand around Aladdin's, and we were both surprised by my action. Although he didn't show it, tere was a flash of shock in his eyes when I held his hand.

Held his hand... That felt good. It sounded good too. Everything was just perfect, and all my worries and rational thoughts fled my head as I held the sweet boys hand. I liked him.

There. That was what I needed to let out ever since that mirror call with Eric. I smiled as his warm hand seemed to fit perfectly in mine. I squeezed both of my companions hands, trying to alleviate and uncomfortable feelings.

Aurora smiled at me, and Aladdin did as well, making my heart flutter, we walked as a strong, un-breakable band towards the door that would certainly lead to our enemies.

Everything was happening now, and it all seemed so fast. Hadn't I been happily munching and bread and eggs with my love Eric only a couple days ago? It felt like years...

Nothing was right, yet nothing was wrong. All the pieces were coming back together again, and I knew that once we entered that door, we would have to prepare for the fight of our lives.

This time, I wouldn't need a prince in shining armor. I wouldn't need Eric. I would save myself, and all of Disney.
