You were leaning against the wall of your house trying desperately hard not to fall asleep, but considering how long your sister was taking it was going to be hard. "(Y/N), none of these look good on me." Anna's voice made you wake up, your royal lunch with the prince was in half an hour and Anna couldn't find anything 'presentable' enough.

"Well I'd like to see at least one on them," you said, "you know what, whatever your wearing, just come out and for once get a second opinion on it."

"Alright," she said, when she walked out your eyes widened. She was wearing a dress that was far too poufy for anybody to be wearing. Anna must've seen your look, "hey you said whatever I was wearing."

"Okay what stupid sea barnacle gave you that?" you asked. It was ridiculous, every time she took a step, all the unnecessary folds and poofs of the dress would shake.

She giggled, "You did," she said. You covered your eyes.

"Well I must've had an extreme headache or someone got me on the rum at that time," you said, "I personally don't know why you kept that kind of a dress."

"It was a gift," she said, "but I'll take it off, I think it makes me look fat anyway." You weren't going to make a comment on that statement. You heard the door close and you uncovered your eyes.

"Okay new plan, grab the dress you like the most and put it on, then show me what you look like in it." you said. You began to wait.

She was taking a while, as usual. You started to pull out you flute and play it a little. You played a few notes of the melody you used to put Olaf to sleep last night before removing the instrument from your mouth. It was a beautiful tune people thought you created yourself, but that wasn't true. It was a tune you heard before. The same day you and the crew was attacked by the mermaids.

Flashback

You pulled yourself onto the wood a hand still clutching the slashed part of your face. You looked around at the thrashing ocean seeing you shipmates disappear under the waves. You could feel yourself getting weak from the blood you were losing from the slash on your chest and the cold ocean was biting at your skin. You had to get out of here.

Using your free hand as a makeshift oar you started to slowly move away, you were trying not to pull attention to yourself. Otherwise those mermaids would be pulling you to the depths as well. You soon were far enough away that the thrashing of the waves was dim. You felt yourself getting weaker, but you didn't think about it much when you felt something stir in the water.

You looked over into the calm ocean water seeing only your (S/C) face looking paler than usual and some of the right side of your face was marked with blood. Both your (E/C) eyes looked bloodshot due to exposure to salt water.

The moon came out from behind the dark clouds casting a light over the water. You saw something glimmer in the water, you didn't know what it was until something came out of the water pinning you to the wood a hand at your neck and you heard a deadly hiss. Your vision was slightly blurry, but you knew it was a mermaid that had probably followed you. It was official you were going to die.

You felt the grip on your neck loosen and then you felt a soft hand... stroke your face? All you could see was a blurry shape above you. Was the mermaid being... compassionate? You felt water crawl up the sides of your face, then you heard the mermaid begin to sing.

Let it flow, let it flow,

have the water do what I say.

Let it flow, let it flow,

Have the agony go away.

It was the most beautiful voice you ever heard. Blue magic began to circle you as the water flowed into the wound on your face and you felt it begin to close and you felt your strength return.
