The land above - Yuri on ice AU

Chapter 3 (J-J)

Yura's POV

"Yura? Yura!" 

Vitya swims around frantically looking for me. The eels pull me slowly away from Vitya, this is very bad. Eels tend to be evil and flock towards the more evil leaders in the sea, because of this Yakov banned all eels from our kingdom. I have a bad gut feeling that these eels belong to J-J, he wants to take Yakov's place as the king. 

The big question is why does me want me? Yakov wouldn't give up his crown for me. 

The eels pull me to the dark ice caves, oh god I was right... this is J-J's lair. A voice wafts out of the cave.

"Chris and Seung! Good boys" 

His voice infuriates me, so arrogant.

His tentacles slide out from the dark, he's so slimy and gross, I need to get out now.

"Yura! So good to see you, release him boys"

The eels slide away from me as J-J slides his tentacle around my shoulders, I try to pull away but he holds me tightly. I sigh.

"What do you want J-J?"

He chuckles and I want nothing more than to punch his stupid face.

"I'm so glad you asked. Well beautiful Yura I want you to be mine forever, I love you"

Oh my god this idiot can't be serious...

"What?"

J-J strokes my hair before throwing me in to a cell by the tail. 

"Ahh!" I scream "No!"

He lifts his hand and creates an ice wall which traps me in. 

"You bastard!" I scream and try to smash the ice but it won't even budge, after what feels like hours I stop and lay on the bottom of the cave. 

Boy would I like to wipe the stupid smirk off his face I think as I curl in on myself, love... yea right, he doesn't even know what love is. I hear a familiar voice outside "Vitya!" He found me! I swim up and bang on the ice. 

Vitya turns and swims to the ice, his voice is muffled but it looks like he could be bargaining with J-J. After a while J-J points at the ice and it melts, I swim in to Vitya's arms

"I had to make a bet to buy us some time" he whispers. 

Oh for Neptune's sake! Why is he so impulsive? 

"I do love a bet" J-J smirks at us. 

"What's the bet?" I ask cautiously.

"Viktor here bet he could make Prince Yuri fall in love with him in three days. If Viktor succeeds I will let you go, if he doesn't or if Prince Yuri pledges his love to another... You and I are getting married in three days. I will turn both of you in to humans for three days on the condition that I borrow Viktor's voice for the duration"

My eyes widen in shock, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

"So, my life, my freedom depends on my brother making a human fall in love with him?!"

"Yes, now let's get started, sing Viktor" J-J demands.

Vitya starts to sing and J-J opens a clam which sucks Vitya's voice from him. 

You are a fool Vitya. 

J-J points at me and Vitya before magic surrounds us and flies away. I look down and see my orange tail is still there. 

"Hey what's the big idea?"

"You have five minutes to get as close to shore as you can before you change because I'm just that nice" he smirks.

Five?!

I grab Vitya's hand and we swim as fast as we can, I can feel the change happening but luckily the beach is near. I pull Vitya to the beach just in time, it feels so weird, I look like a human now. I look over at Vitya who is holding his legs and smiling, I push myself up and wobble before falling on the sand. 

"Ahh" I yell as I fall. 

Vitya looks like he's trying to laugh but remembers he no longer has a voice. He's such an Idiot, I am so doomed. Me and Vitya stand while holding each other for support. I look down and see a pink wrap of fabric around my waist, Vitya is wearing nothing.

"Are you sure sir?"

"Yes, I am, I know he is real"

Two men walk out on the beach and spot us, oh no... they run towards us and as they get closer I recognize the Prince and the beautiful man Otabek.

"Sir are you alright?"

The Prince lifts Vitya in his arms.

"He can't speak" I whisper shyly.

"Oh" the Prince sounds a little sad.

Otabek looks down at me as I sweep my hair behind my ear.

"What's your name?"

"I-I'm Yura, That's Viktor but we all call him Vitya"

"Let's take them to the castle and get them cleaned up, we can't just leave them." Says the Prince.

"I agree"

This is a good start.

I watch as Vitya rests his head on Yuri's shoulder, maybe I do have a chance. I wobble as I walk after Vitya and Yuri.

"Need a hand?"

Otabek smiles at me, but I'm not weak I can do this myself.

"No, I'm-"

I fall flat on my face again, how humiliating. 

Otabek scoops me up quickly, I gasp and wrap my arms around his neck "Don't drop me" I yell. He laughs as he starts to walk holding me tightly. He looks in my eyes, and for some reason I can't look away. 

Soon we reach a huge castle, it's so big. I can't believe my eyes.

"Amazing" I whisper.
