Chapter 12: Betrayed and Forgotten

I woke up lying half on land and the rest of me in the water still chained to the boulder. What? How? I looked around and found these two dolphins in the pool of water. I covered my ears as they made their high pitched squealing sounds as they played and splashed around. I waved them off. I get that my ankles were tied together and I looked like a mermaid, but it didn't mean I was one. I looked back at the chains around me as I sat on the edge of the stone and began trying to figure out how to break off the chain. I looked around the place. This looks like the cave Uma and I shared. The one we taught each other to swim in. My hair stuck to my wet skin and I coughed out the little sea water that I swallowed. What are the odds the current would carry that massive boulder to shallow waters? Someone must be looking out for me. Now if only they could bring me a lock pick or you know, a key. That would be great. Although, I was sure that more than likely, there was no one out there looking out for me and it was just Jafar's miserable luck. I mean you think the guy would try to find another way to murder after it already failed him once. My body was covered in the sand on the shore. I wiped off as much as I could once I dried but me staying dry didn't last long before one of the dolphins grabbed the chain and pulled me back into the water.

I swam up to the surface splashing the dolphin annoyed. I moved back to sit on the edge. The dolphins squealed and laughed as they spun in the water. I motioned to the chain on my ankles specifically the keyhole. One dolphin looked at me confused before he grabbed the chain. I shook my head frantically, but apparently he didn't understand and there I went back into the pool of water. I swam back to the surface glaring at the dolphin who's squeals were starting to sound like laughter. I tried that already, Einstein! Thank you! I splashed at him annoyed before I got back up on the shore. The dolphin turned around and swam away. I let out a sigh as I looked up at the cave ceiling. That's when I knew. I was in our cave. I was never an artist like Mal, but to mark this cave as ours, I magically spelled the image of Uma and I on the cave. It used to be an image of me and her with me giving her a piggy back ride when we were ten. But since it was a magical portrait. It changed with time like we did. Now the image of us was updated to our age now and our backs were turned toward each other. Uma's hands were holding her face making it hard to tell what she was feeling, but it didn't seem happy. My image had a solemn lost look and my hand was clawing at the chain around my neck. I let myself fall back onto the sand just staring at the image.

The dolphins returned with a few rocks. I banged the rocks against the chain to no avail.

Three days had passed and I had continuously pounded on those chains, but the rocks were doing more cracking than the chains. My hands were stinging and cut from the sharp edges of the rock. I could feel my skin beginning to dry and my lips were chapped from dehydration. I knew without water, soon my body was going to dehydrate and I was going to die. With the way I was feeling, I probably only had a day left, if I didn't die tonight. I lay in the sand with my legs still sitting in the ocean water. My energy was already low enough to the point where it was troublesome to just breathe. If only there was a way to extract the salt from the water. Maybe, I should just drink the salt water and give myself a quicker death. I mean whatever is going on with my sister, maybe death will actually be better for me. I mean just because my father is doomed to stay in the underworld. Doesn't mean I have to, right? Maybe, I should die, go to the underworld, and then try finding a door that's outside of the barrier of Isle of the Lost. Then I could go to Auradon and see for myself where they have my sister and our friends locked up. I refuse to believe my friends just dropped me like nothing. Jay especially wouldn't abandon me like this. I just need to go rescue them. I could feel the dolphins nudging my legs as I slowly started to black out and the last image I saw was the portrait of Uma and me. I really wished I could have done something for our friendship...it was way too late now.
