Months later
Today I had an opportunity to get out of here for good, or at least set my plan in motion. We'd worked out what they were trying to do to us, we were test subjects for cosmetics and water-proof lotions. And let's just say I wasn't the only one who's done with their games. Our plan was simple, I drag myself out of the pool before the daily pool inspection when they're scheduled to move, l try to find my necklace as well as Lily's then take them back, but I know blood will be spilled. There's no way of doing this where no single person dies, it's just not possible.

I pulled my butt up onto the tiled floor "are you sure you want to do this? I mean, the doc could've be wrong?" I shook my head "I know what I heard, and I'm not willing to be the next Madonna" she tilted her head squinting "you're more of a 'Audrey Hepburn'-""this-this isn't 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', it's 'Grease' gone wrong, or it's about to be" she smirked "you're the one they want" I smiled proudly "I'm gonna go find myself a 'jukebox'" I dug my fingers between the tiles at hid myself in the supply closet as I heard footsteps down the hall, probably jake to oversee the whole operation.

An image in my mind suddenly reminded me that that they'd know I was missing straight away, I was the only one in that area "is she down there?" I suddenly rectified my plan and started to hum melodically and it wasn't long before others heard what I was trying to do. I silently opened the door to find him stood right in front of the pool, and being me, I couldn't resist. With one swing of the tail, he was swimming in seconds, lily knew how to keep him there. And from there, I did a sort of 'zombie' crawl across the floor. I know I left my necklace with pan but I swear I saw the exact same one hanging in the office with all the other mermaid objects which id passed with Jake for medical examinations, the usual.

I managed to sneak past everyone and now lay in front of the cabinet with my objective in, I was aware that if i tried to scale the dresser, it would cause attention due to the fact my weight would probably pull it over and shatter everything inside. I closed my eyes letting the thought of seeing pan again sink in, I hated the thought of betraying Jake but it was the only way to be free once more, once upon a time, I was a queen, once upon a time, I was a pirate, once upon a time, I was just a girl from storybrooke. And now I'm a test subject, I have a choice either to step back into that life or move on and become someone new. Footsteps could be heard rushing everywhere and soon they would be in here, it was now or never.

My hands gripped the wooden surface harshly and pulled me up then as one held me on, the other opened the cupboard doors and grabbed my necklace. I let go briefly to put it on gaining my legs before stuffing the rest of the belongings into my pockets.

Jake's POV
I scanned the water for the familiar black silhouette that normally surfaced when I came but something told me that she wasn't coming out today...unless she was already out. I strut towards the guard who was twiddling his thumbs nervously "What happened?!" He gestured to the water "Rick fell in, apparently pushed. I couldn't see her when I got here" she was smart, who knows how long she's been planning, playing, letting us believe she was innocent "where's the sister?" His finger shakily jerked to the outdoor enclosure "watch her" so the siren would probably be on the way to getting her legs, maybe she'd already left? She could've been out the water for hours and long gone.

Thea's POV
"Look into the Ocean you might see
,who you want to be, look into the Sky you might find, you've got wings to fly into the future, will the beauty be the same?" I started to sing as I shoved my knife through a man's throat "Take it to heart, keep it in mind, good luck with the colours of this life, we're playing our part, we're making some noise joining together with one voice" I snapped the next guard's neck and did a little dance to my own music before stepping over the bodies and strutting out "'Cause when it comes to saving this amazing grace, the answer's Black and White, it's our world, it's our chance, let's make it right"

I stepped out into the hallway to see guards rushing from both ends, but were armed. Maybe I needed something a little more powerful? I slowly raised my hands with my head hanging but a smirk plastered across my face "you have the right to remain silent, please return to your tank" my fingers went down and my middle ones went up"Close every door to me, hide all the world from me, bar all the windows, and shut out the light" a few guns cocked preparing to fire at their command "who's responsible for the bitch?!" I was about to continue when someone yelled "Wait!" It was a surprisingly calm yell as if they were tired.

I tilted my head to see Jake strolling down the hall "you - not another word, and you guys know I don't like you using that word with the ladies" I gave a guilty puppy dog face "How's she got legs?" I chuckled when I heard someone mutter something along the lines of 'and why are they so fine?' "Why? Why are you laughing, I thought I said not another word" he dismissed the guards and folded his arms giving the look of an angry parent "come on, hand it over" he gestured to the necklace "hmm, nope, I don't think so" did he really not know who I was? He dabbled in the mermaid world and yet didn't know the queen of it all "I'm not playing around, hand it over" I fiddled with it in my hands "once upon a time, I was a pirate's daughter..." I circled him menacingly "once upon a time, I was a pirate..." I let one of my hands drape around his back seductively "once upon a time, I was a lost girl..." he was slowly being drawn in by the sound of my voice "once upon a time, I was a queen..."

I toyed with his fleece zipper "I learned what I had to do, now I really don't want to have to kill you but...to every stone you drop in the water, there's a ripple waiting for you..." he forced me against the wall with his own blade against my flesh "this isn't the first time I've had metal to my neck, but it's the first time you've had a blade to your chest...isn't it?" I had my wrist blade pressed against them skin that contained his heart, I watched his breath deepen as he noticed. "Yea, I thought so" a smile crept across my lips as I whispered seductively in his ear "I'll make it quick"

He forced me against the wall causing me to chuckle at his efforts "good form" I kneed his stomach and moved so the blade wouldn't hurt me "but not good enough" I stepped around him carefully, something sharply jabbed into my neck. I began to fade in and out of consciousness causing my feet to stumble. As I fell to my knees, my opponent stood staring down at my "...he's coming for you...all of us" then my body dropped to the floor limply as he tore the necklace from my neck.
