Twisted Fairytales Vol. One: Part of your world

Part Seven

Ariel woke up in a barn. She was surrounded by pigs and her hair was contaminated with hay. She gazed out at the sunset only to realise that today was the day of her wedding to the Prince.

She hastily stood up from her position and jumped onto the nearest horse. Unfortunately, the wedding was to take place on a ship, so she silently prayed that the ship didn't take out to sea yet. 

Ariel rode through town on a beautiful sun kissed mustang. She was able to reach the the dock in time, only to find that the ship had already left the dock and set sail on the Atlantic.

Ariel looked around trying to find a way to get there quick enough. She couldn't swim. If she did, her human lungs couldn't take in the water as it used to. That was until she set her eyes on a tiny wooden boat with oars on its sides. 

If she wanted to get to her wedding, this was the only way. 

She climbed onto the boat and began to row the oars vigorously. She was exhausted and a great pain shot through her two arms. But regardless, she continued to row the boat. 

She was finally able to reach the ship in time. From there, she began to climb the ship. This was her moment of happiness. She was finally able to be with the love of her life. She was finally going to be part of his world.

Or so she thought.

It was too late. 

After stepping onto the ship, she realised that she was surrounded by several carcasses. Human carcasses.

"What have they done?" Ariel exclaimed   

She looked over at the 'alter'. To her chagrin, she caught sight of the Prince's body, where a woman was standing over him.

A woman who looked like Ariel.

Slowly, the girl began to change form. Until she caught sight of the unmistakable blonde hair. Aquamarine.

"AQUAMARINE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" 

Aquamarine looked over at her sister, eyes gleaming from blood lust. 

"Don't worry, Ariel. Father told me to". 

With that, she picked up a trident and pointed it to her legs. In a moment of time, her two legs merged into a tail. She took the Prince's body and lunged into the sea. 

"Waste not, want not" she said before she mockingly blew Ariel a kiss.

Ariel frantically raced off to the balcony and looked down at the sea foam which surrounded the area where she jumped. 

Her sister Aquamarine had taken her Father's trident under his permission to make herself a pair of legs.

She stole away Ariel's chance of happiness and love to silence her own selfish blood lust.

It was too much for her to bear. Ariel lunged into the sea and she could feel herself turn into sea foam.
