"Walk to plank Jack." Barbossa yelled.
"Well last time you left me with a pistol with a single shot." Barbossa nods.
"Well, ye right. Bring us his gun." A pirate walks back over to him and hands him the pistol.
"Time to go now Jack." Barbossa hit the plank and Jack fell not so gracefully. This was the island he was marooned on prior to this adventure.
"Time for you to go little poppet." Two pirates said to Elizabeth. She ended up into water too.
"Now it's your turn Ms. Garcia. Have a fantastic time." Without giving me a chance to jump into the water Barbossa pushed me in. I swam deeper into the water, so he didn't see me transform. Once I got below the level, he could see my tail made its appearance. I lifted my hand and shot water at Barbossa as I swam to the island. I made it there after both Swann and Jack were there.
"Jack help me." I plead as I try to pull myself onto land. My tail is very heavy, much heavier than my normal body. He ran to me and helped pull me to dry land. "Are you sure you want me to pull you out? Elizabeth will see you." I nod. "I can't keep it hidden forever." I roll over on my back and stare up to the sky. Jack is trying to dry me off as quick as possible.
"Eliana, you're, you're a mermaid?" Elizabeth said. I looked at her than back at the sky. "Yeah. Now let's hurry up and find a way off this island so we can go save Will." My tail finally disappeared, and I was able to get up off the sand.
"Love how do you expect to get off this island?" Only I knew the truth. A trade group of rum stored their stuff here and came for their shipment and picked Jack up. There is no chance anymore.
"Jack, you got off this island in just three days I'm sure we'll find a way to get off right?" Jack keeps walking to a seller. "There is no chance Elizabeth. A trade group of rum stored their stuff here and came for their shipment and picked Jack up off the island. They are no longer in business. We just need to wait."
4 Hours later
"Love you should go for a swim. See the animals and see if they are willing to help. If not at least make new friends. Maybe your mom could help?" I shake my head.
"I haven't seen Aquadia in a very long time. I don't feel like it's a good idea." He shrugs.
"It's one of the only ways to get the island so be it." I sighed and walked to the waterfront. It was a full moon tonight. Bright and full of light. It was always as light as the sun. "I will see you in a little. Don't die." He smiled at my attempt of being funny. He kisses my forehead and I jump into the water. On the bright side Aquadia was close to where we were.
I swam and swam for what felt like forever. I met the sea animals. They were all kind to point me the direction to my mum. I finally was faced the sea gates.
"State your business here." One of the guards said.
"I'm here to see my mother. The queen." Their faces fall.
"I'm sorry princess we didn't recognize you. Open the gate!" He yelled and the gates opened. I was met with the sight of Aquadia. A great, beautiful, underwater city with many bustling waterways. Everyone moving from one area to another all the way to the castle. When O was met at the gate, I was met with a much unexpecting sight I never thought I would see again, my brother.
"James?" I asked. He nodded. I swam up to him and hugged him. "I missed you." I said into his shoulder.
"I missed you too big sister. Mother is waiting for you. We weren't expecting you." I slightly smile.
The castle was the way I still remember; made of pure gold that never rusted. The hallways were bright gold and light that was reflecting all light. Finally, we made it to the throne room. My mother and all her beauty, was sitting on her large throne. James patted my back to tell me good luck.
"I never thought I would be in here again." I said out loud. My mom laughed and swam over to me.
"Oh, Eliana, I never thought you would come back here after your father passed." She gripped me in a tight hug. She was squeezing me half to death.
"Mom you're gonna smush me." I speak.
"Oh, sorry dear. What do I owe for this unexpected visit?" I sigh.
"My friends are stuck on a deserted island. Is there anyway you could help them not die there? The female, her name is Elizabeth, needs to go save her love Will. The male, Jack, I just want him to survive." I smile slightly when I think of Jack.
"This Jack fellow, he sounds important to you. Is he?" I nod slightly.
"Yeah, he is important to me. He is the one who sent me to talk to you. Secretly I think he wanted me to talk to you again since we haven't talked in a while." I let out a short nervous laugh.
"Well Love that you found someone, but he is not merman. What happens when you get to run Aquadia when I die? He can't come down here. I can't allow anything between you. Now for saving them, there is a ship on its way to pass the land. It should see them and pick them up. As for you, you made a promise to come back to rule. Now is the time to uphold your promise darling." I shake my head and start backing up.
"I can't. Therefore, I never came home. I don't want to rule. My brother would be the one to rule. Would that be so bad?" I kept shaking my head trying to wrap my head around what she was saying.
"Woman have ruled this chair for decades, you will not be the one to ruin that for this family." She started to raise her voice.
"I will not take the throne. If you could understand than I try to help but you don't understand. You never will understand. I found someone who loves me for what I truly am. If you want a woman on the throne have another girl but don't drag me into this family when you already pushed me away!" I yelled and swam out of the castle. When I almost made it out the gate the two guards held onto my arms to hold me back.
"Let me go!" I kept trying to force myself out of their grasp. I got fed up with them and with a flick of my wrist they were sent flying. I swam as quickly as possible back to the island. I was hoping my mother would not go try to find me. As I swam, I let all the tears I held in for years. This was a bad idea, and I should have never listened to Jack.
Once I got back to the island Jack pulled me out of the water drunk. "Lovey, I missed you." He slurred his words. My tail disappeared and I got up to help support Jack. Once he was sitting down Elizabeth knocked him out with a rum bottle. "Elizabeth what the hell?" Then I soon saw black.
