Nikki's POV
I can't ever forget that evil smirk on his face. How he separated me and my family just to get some power. I still recall on that terrible night...
The night he took me from my home...

*FLASHBACK 7 YEARS AGO*
"Come on Molly! I don't want to be late to my sister's royal choosing!"
"Uhh I'm coming Nix! Stop telling me to hurry up! You know that I can't swim as fast as you can!" I chuckled at my cousin and kept swimming.
Today was my sister's royal chosing and I was so excited because the parties we usually held are EPIC! And the best thing is that it will be held on land! We are mermaids so we don't go on land as much to explore because of the "dangers" out there. I'm so proud that we are though because when a mermaid touches land with their tail then they have a pair of feet! We don't use our feet as much...but I'm glad we are now!
I might be only 5 but trust me I am a pretty sneaky little mermaid.
As my cousin catched up to me, I quickly went to my room to get my golden blue dress and my crown and rushed outside again. My cousin was already dressed up since we just came from her house so now it was my turn.
I quickly put on my dress, necklace, and finally my crown. A princess always have to wear a crown on these types of ceremonies. My father is the king of the seas. My mother the queen. And my 2 sisters and I are the princess. Once I got out of the castle, I swam up towards the surface my cousin following behind.
"Hurry up Malls! We are gonna run late!"
"No we are not Nix! We have like an hour! Stop being so pushy!"
I stopped.
"Really?!?"
"YES!"
"Oh...well...I still want the good food. You know how fast the good food goes away? It disappears in a flash!"
"Yes because everyone is eating it. Let's just rest please?" She rolled her eyes and took a moment for her to regain her breath again.
"Ready?" I asked annoyed.
"Yes am I." I rolled my eyes again and swam up fast. Molly gasp and chased after me. I laughed at her.
Once up on top of the surface, I quickly got dried and hurry off into a nice fancy bridge filled with nice white flowers, leading straight to the magical forest. My cousin was beyond mad but I didn't care. I am glad that we got here on time.
I went inside the dressing room and found my sister sitting on a stall looking beautiful and shiny as ever.
She looked at me through the mirror and her eyes winded.
"Nix! You came!" She ran up to me and hugged me.
"Of course I did. Why would I miss my big sis royal chosing?"
"Hmm I don't know. Maybe because your always so busy with your training to become a mermaid warrior like our great aunt? Come on Nix you're only 5 and too young to train. I know you are smart and you devolved faster than me and Crystal but just take a rest from all that training yes?"
I looked at my sister. Training is my life. I mean it's only been 5 years...but I liked training so much that I wouldn't trade it for anything but I also love my sister very much and I wanted her to be happy and proud of me.
"Err...ok. I guess I'll just take a rest for some time."
"Perfect! That way you and I can spend more time together!"
I haven't been spending time with my sister...nor my family ever since I turned 2. My aunt decided to take me in to train me. I'll see my family most of the times but I kinda stop doing it 3 months ago.
I smiled at my sister and nodded.
"Of course!"
"Very well then!"
"Oh Nix? Is that you?" A gentle voice came in.
"Mom?"
"Oh honey! It's good to see you!" My mom quickly embraced me and kissed me all over my face.
"Eww mom calm down. I'm here." I chuckled as she did.
"Oh honey look at you! You look so much older!"
"Right mother?! She looks like an 8 year old mermaid!"
"The training must be doing it's job then." Mother said putting a hand on my shoulder.
Every mermaid started to develop at the age of 3 or 4. I was already developing at the age of 1. It wasn't really normal, although the docter said that I was a very gifted mermaid with a very bright future ahead. Suddenly father came in with Crystal. Crystal was 5 years older than me so she was 10. She has long, shiny blonde hair, shiny beautiful skin and bright blue crystal eyes. She was very beautiful as well.
"Nix! Oh my god you're back!" She hugged me and spinned me around.
"Oh Nixium...It's... good to see you. How's umm training going?" Father asked.
"It's good father. It's nice to see you as well." I gave him a small smile. Father and I aren't that close ever since...I started training. He wanted me to be a ruler of the sea as well. I mean I want to but, I want to be able to protect it as well...and good as well. Father says that is a knight's job. But I don't want to be a knight...I want to be a warrior.
I don't know if he will ever understand me, but I'm willing to follow my dreams...I just hope he will understand me and accept my decision...I doubt it though.
"Umm very well...Sabrina, sweetheart, are you ready for your choosing?" He asked. Sabrina glared at father.
"Yes father, I guess I am." She looked down...what was happening?
"Very well. We will wait for you at your throne. Then your chosing will began." And with that, he walked out. I looked at my sister.
"Mimi...what's going on?" I used my sister's nickname that I use on her. She looked at me and Crystal. Mother had left with father so it was just us 3.
"Oh Nix, you know it's time for me to, get married...that's what the choosing is about."
"Ya, I know."
"But...I'm not ready, because I know that he won't be out-"
"Sabrina, darling, it's time." Mother interrupted her.
"Um, yes mother, I'm coming." She looked back at us with a sad expression...
"I'll see you girls at the throne." And with that she left the room. I turned to looked at my other sister.
"Crystal, what's going on?"
"I don't know Nix, but, ever since father told her that she has to get married now...she kinda changed. She would cry herself to sleep everyday. At night, I had to check on her because she would get nighmares everyday and she would scream...telling herself that it was her fault, that she had to let him go. She loved him so much."
"Who?"
"I don't know...this mysterious guy that stole her heart. She has been talking about someone lately. Telling me how he was her everything. That he was her hero. She never really gave me a name though. She would just look at me and cry even more."
I couldn't believe what my sister was telling me. My older sister was in pain after all of this time and I wasn't there for her?
"Since when?"
"Since...you were born I'm guessing. The day you were born was the day she had left somewhere. I was just 5 when she left, of course she didn't miss your birth, but mother and father never really told me where she had gone. She was out for about a month. And ever since she came back well...she hasn't stop talking about him."
"How come I never knew about this?"
"Maybe because she didn't want you to be involve in her love life. It affected me as well and we didn't want it to affect you as well."
"Thanks sis, but next time, you better tell me what's going on."
She sigh, nodded, and left the room. I sigh. Then I have decided to explore the castle a little more. The castle was enormous. I mean our castle was pretty big but this was two times better or even 5 times better. The caslte was just breataking. It had beautiful paintings, diamond and gold furniture, crystal chandeliers hanging up high, and the smell of your surrounding...it smelled like home.
I wonder whose castle is this? This king must be very rich and respected. As I was waking through the great halls, a specific door caught my eye. I noticed that it was a huge door. It was bigger than the others in the castle. I went towards the door and noticed that it had a wolf on it. It was a beautiful design with two wolf knobs...then I slowly opened the door...
