Malevolent Mermaid

A decision is a decision. Right?

"Pearl, you got no idea how dangerous he is, he knows everything, he senses everything, and right now he is probably listening to us" Ianthe starts panicking right away, and moving around uncontrollably!
"No no no, calm down! He is not listening to us! He never listened to you, calm down first!"
"I cannot calm down, there is no way i can calm down! He is back, i should have known he will be back, this should be untrue please."
Pearl slaps Ianthe to calm her down and collect her senses!
"I am sorry but i had to! Listen here now!"
Pearl hugs her and pulls back.
"He cannot take control of you if you do not allow him! He is the King of Control true, but you know how to use that power better than him!"
"Do not remind me of it!"
"Yes i will, i have to at least! You are the Ocean Nymph now, but once there was a Queen of the Ocean, Queen of Glitter, and most importantly; Queen of Control!"
"But that Queen is living no more!"
"True, but that does not change the fact that you know exactly how to control it! That is your power Ianthe, your master field, you can use it better than him! And most importantly you can gain it back!"
"But how? I lost my everything, I do not have power anymore, and nothing is in my hands. I cannot get it back, how will i?"
"The "D" guy never had it to begin with, but now he has all of that."
"What are you trying to imply?"
"I am implying, that you will have to give him a sip of his own poison."
"I do not get it?"
Pearl sighs. "You are too naive. And here i thought you were this strong beast."
"Get to the point please."
"I am saying; you will get your power back, the way he took it from you!
If you let him know that you feel so weak, he will take advantage of that, so we have to do what he did in order to take your power back."
"And how exactly are we going to do that if i may politely ask?"
"You will forgive him."
"What? No. Never. I can never do that!"
"Not for real, it will be pretend, that way you can get him back, do what he did, so he will sacrifice his power to save you, just like you did!"
"No, i cannot do that! I am not that big of a monster!"
"Yes you are, and we both know."
"And how exactly are we sure that he will sacrifice his power for me? This is ridiculous"
"He will, we will play your part so good he will not be able to even think about it, he will directly give it away for you."
"No, I don't think so, at the end of the day, he was the one that faked his own death and let go of his tr- well, me, just for power and authority, how will he sacrifice his power to save someone he already in fact 'killed' before? It does not make sense!"
"Ianthe, my system is flawless, i know exactly where to hit him from. And also you know that too, you know what hurts him the most, right?"
Ianthe looks down for a second, and thinks things over, not convinced enough.
After a while of thinking, she picks her courage up to finally respond.
"No Pearl, this is not a good plan. And if i accept to do this, wouldn't that make me the same piece of evil as him? Will i not be the same? I know how bad that hurts, and i do not want anyone else to have to go through this, i cannot manipulate someone just for power, at the end of the day, i do not even need it. He took away what was mine for what? What did he gain? Nothing, we did not even know wether he existed anymore or not. Why should i do the same?"
"For revenge? Why else?"
"Revenge is for the weak, and we are not one of those!"
"No, this is not true, it takes a lot of courage to take revenge from someone, especially if you do it correctly. Trust me, it will work. And you will gain back everything!"
"I do not know Pearl, this does not draw me in fully, maybe we could use another strategy."
"What? Like asking him to give you back your power? Are you serious?"
"No of course not, but .."
"But what? There is no other way, you have got to let him know how you felt. And if anything, the only reason you are not accepting this, is because you still have feelings for him."
Ianthe feels like a truck hit her right in the face, and left her numb like that. For a second, Pearls voice seems very far away, and then later on, completely disappeared, and Ianthe completely lost in her thoughts.
"IANTHE... do you still have feelings for him?"
"I am happy right now. Not that i ever needed him!"
"Do you still have feelings for him?"
"And right now i am happier, happier than ever!" She says avoiding contact.
"Look at me! Do you still have feelings for him?"
"No, i do not."
"Yes you do, now this is a problem! But is it worth it? After all that he did? To destroy you all, and then ruin you when you finally rebuilt yourself?"
"Pearl, i do not have feelings anymore, the only problem is that..."
"Is that?"
"I am afraid, ok? Very afraid. Afraid that he will find out and destroy both me and you."
"He cannot destroy me, nor you. He will be destroyed himself!
Is it worth it to let it go after all that he did,  especially now that you know where he is?"
"You are right, it is not worth it!"
"So one thing left to decide?"
Ianthe picks up her courage and thinks about all the horrible things he did to her, she started thinking about the anger she had with Pearl and what she wanted to do to her for one little thing, and she has all of these reasons, and she cannot decide.
She nods Yes with her head held high, thinking that even if it was the wrong decision, it was a decision, and she was not going to allow him to destroy her again.
She looks at pearls eyes;
"Let's do this!"
"That's what i thought"
