"Stop Karma" I snarled moving around my bed. I moved around the uncomfortable furniture, but the poking kept going. I flicked it away to receive a couple of gasps. Gasps? I shot up regretting it after feeling something hit the top of my head.

I looked up to see bamboo sticks woven into each other to create a cage big enough for me to lay down on.

"She's up, what do we do?" Someone whispered. Another voice responded, but stayed quiet when somebody else had shushed them. I made my way around making sure not to hit anything else and was only a few feet away from a small group of boys.

"Ow" I shrieked when one of the children poked me again. I grabbed the stick and broke it in half, letting it fall to the side.

"Who are you people?" I examined already knowing who they are and who they work for. The boys looked at each other as if they had no clue who they were. Once they were distracted I slowly went to my boot to try and retrieve my knife, only problem was that it wasn't there.

"Is this what you want" a boy who is no older than 10 or younger than 7 said holding my knife with both his hands. I smiled and went out to reach for it when I felt a slap hit my wrist.

"What are you doing Noah" an older boy scolded the younger one and grabbed the knife from him. He turned around to face me and gave me a glare while returning to his 'pack'.

"Pan will be arriving soon, so let's head off" he exclaimed herding them out the woods and most likely towards the camp.

I mimicked his voice and tried laying back on the uncomfortable Cage. It swung lightly making me question how it hasn't collapsed yet due to my weight. I closed my eyes and imagined myself back with Karma.

"Don't sleep on me now" I groaned and ignored his presence still shutting my eyes closed. I could feel his stare burning into my body. The leaves crunchy under his feet letting me know he was coming closer.

"Long time no see darling" I faced away from him now facing the dark and mysterious forest. I jumped back when his frame appeared once again in front of the cage.

"You've grown a lot" he breathed out looking me up and down. He tilted his head while licking his lips which me made look at him in disgust. I sat up and didn't reply to his remark making it clear I wasn't having any of this.

"Your hair too" he said snapping his fingers so that now I was standing right in front of him. This was it. I used my magic to teleport somewhere else, but nothing happened. He smirked reaching his hand out to softly stroke my long silver hair.

"I like it" he remarked stopping and now looking down at me. I hated how he towered over me, it made me feel defenseless. I looked down at his feet and tried freezing them in place, but they stayed the same.

"Oh sweet innocent Melina" he purred grabbing both my wrists with a great force. He chuckled at my attempts to get out and kick at him.

"What did you do?" I pleaded wanting to know why I can't use my powers against him. He grabbed at my chest, grabbing a fistful of my necklace. I soon realized the salmon color was blending into a light black that would overpower the other colors.

I twisted his hand, jamming it into his chest and quickly swept my foot under his legs making him lose his balance. My pathetic self grabbed a stick and ran for it. I made sure to run the opposite way of the camp and near a lake I was desperate to find.

Surprisingly Pan hasn't tried stopping me or making his boys chase after me which was too suspicious. The water was in plain sight as I jumped out and onto the dirt and sand mix. My heavy panting caught the attention of something. More like a someone.

"Excuse me, are you okay?" I screamed at the sudden voice. I looked around checking to see if a boy was around. No one was there, but many of ripples in the water were closing to me. I stepped back not wanting to almost drown again.

I covered myself with my arms when I saw something pop out of the water. I stayed like this until it spoke out to me again, repeating her question. Deep aqua blues eyes stared at me in concern. Her reddish, brownish hair floated up in the water near her.

"Oh my god" my legs felt numb. I collapsed on the sand near the water where the mermaid had appeared. My panting worsened and I felt sick due to the memories all coming back to me.

"Oh are you alright" her green tail splashed when her body was now on the shore.

"Who are you?" I blabbered out crawling to her cautiously. Her hands looked pretty normal and her teeth weren't as sharp as the other mermaid. She looked pretty normal to me.

"I'm Ariel, what's your name?" She smiled intrigued in the conversation we were having.

"Melina" my hand met hers and I went out for a handshake. She didn't know what to do, but followed after my lead.

"Hmm, my father's always talking about a Melina" she replied looking up at the sun and back to me. Her eyes were so captivating. It's like I've seen them before. Mine were close to hers, just a little lighter.

Her eyes trailed to behind me. She looked taken back, almost as if she saw something unpleasant. My head turned ninety degrees to see a whole crowd wearing cloaks and aiming their weapons at the both of us.

I stood up and blocked their view from Ariel. I pushed her, not in a harsh way. Just so that she could get out in time from the scene that was about to happen.

"Shame, I didn't want to hurt you Melina" Pan placed a hand over his heart tsking at me. His face showed no sympathy, something that was hard for me to comprehend. This Pan wasn't the Pan I met as a child.

Maybe it was because you were a child. I bit the inside of my check to prevent me from saying something idiotic out.

"You know what to do Felix" Pan said flickering a finger my way. I felt my heart clench as I saw him trotting towards me. His eyes on the other hand seemed more soft. He still carries his club which had more indents and scratches on it than last time?

"I'm sorry Meli" his voice cracked at the nickname he had given me. My eyes dropped to the ground at the sound of his voice. His club swang up into the air.

"It's okay" I smiled looking at him before the impact. The side of my head throbbed in pain as something hit it full speed. Blurry foot steps and me plunging down the ground was the only thing my mind could comprehend.
