ERIK: *looks around in complete and utter confusion*

ARIEL: *sleeps soundly on his chest*

ERIK: *moves away from her*

ARIEL: *feels his presence gone and squirms*

ERIK: *stares at her form* what a lovely mermaid...

ARIEL: *wakes up slowly*

ERIK: what are you doing in my bed?

ARIEL: *looks confused but gets up, too tired to speak*

ERIK: I asked you a question. *says harshly*

ARIEL: Because I love you and you live me

ERIK: I don't love you. *looks confused* who are you?

ARIEL: Ariel

ERIK: just Ariel? *crosses arms with a scowl*

ARIEL: Ariel Gerard

ERIK: *keeps scowling* how long have you been here? I don't remember you.

ARIEL: But you've watched me for years... You married me

ERIK: married you? I'm not married. *turns away from her* *his voice cold*

ARIEL: But your tail band...it's on you

ERIK: *glances at it and removes it* I didn't marry. You must have put it on to lie to me! *growls at her*

ARIEL: *whimpers* But Erik...

ERIK: *towers above her* you are fortunate you have some beauty. Otherwise, I would kill you...

ARIEL: *cries and swims off*

ERIK: *follows her just to watch her*

NADIR: Masster?

ERIK: yes? *snaps at him*

NADIR: Why are you letting her go?

ERIK: she doesn't belong to me. I don't care what one mermaid does. I'm following her because she is quite beautiful to watch.

NADIR: Then why don't you follow?

ERIK: I was following her until you stopped me. *growls*

NADIR: Oh... Go ahead then

ERIK: *swims away after Ariel*

ARIEL: *keeps swimming*

ERIK: *keeps following*

ARIEL: *goes to her cave and cries*

ERIK: *hides and watches her*

ARIEL: *starts to sing out if sorrow*

ERIK: *eyes widen* beautiful....

ARIEL: *cries as she sings*

ERIK: *watches her with eyes glowing*

ARIEL: *doesn't notice and goes down to her rock to rest*

ERIK: *swims around her and runs one hand through her hair* that was beautiful....... *eyes are hard and cold*

ARIEL: *sees him and looks at him shakily and swims back a bit*

ERIK: good to see you're afraid of me...

ARIEL: What do you want?

ERIK: to look at you. *smirks*

ARIEL: L-Look at me? *tries to swim off*

ERIK: *circles her so she can't* you're pretty and you sing well. Sing.

ARIEL: N-No thanks

ERIK: I wasn't asking.
