*Sorry for the late update, i have become increasingly busy with school and such as i am in year 11 and am preparing to go into year 12 so this year is important to me and i was also unable to find free unstressed time to write it either. But i hope u can forgive me and enjoy this chapter!*
(Reader's Pov)
Ariel and i gasped at the witches words.
'Human? Human!? this is worse than a sudden career change! how is this going to benefit me? i know this would for Ariel as she needs to be human to get with her man but me?'
"But how will that benefit me?" I questioned the witch, crossing my arms in distaste thinking she was trying to con us.
Still looking at me through her mirror the witch smirked "Think, the best way to get away from the people who have mistreated you would be escaping to a place where they can't reach, a place where you can start anew" Her words sunk into me, my mind rolling with images of this paradise she was describing.
"Can u do that?" Ariel asked from besides me looking at the witch with hesitant eyes.
"My dear sweet child, that's what i do" Ursula turned around in her vanity chair to stare at us with a smirk.
"It's what i live for! to help unfortunate mermaid folk like you two" She swam from her vanity table to us, swimming around us like a shark.
"Poor souls with no one to turn too"
*Imagine the first half of the song has gone past*
"Now here's the deal" Ursula said while wrapping pink seaweed around us and pulling us along with her as she swam.
"I will make you two a potion that will turn you into a human for three days" She explains to us while putting her hands around our waists and throwing the seaweed away. She lead us to her cauldron looking thing which opened up like a flower blooming, just more creepy looking.
"Now listen, this is important" She urged, pulling our faces towards her using her tentacles.
"Before the sun sets on the third day" She said while conjuring image representations of what she was saying from a pink misty substance that came from the cauldron.
"One of you two has got to get Princey to fall in love with you, that is he's got to kiss you" Ariel went into la la land at her words while I grimaced.
'Why me also? I don't even like the guy' I complained in my head, disliking the image of me sucking faces with the prince.
"But not just any kiss, the kiss of true love. If he does kiss you before the sun sets on the third day, you two will remain human permanently" Ursula announced from her place on the other side of the cauldron.
Ariel and I stared at the image of two females running with legs but was snapped out of it with Ursula's next words.
"But if he doesn't kiss either of you, you two will turn back into a mermaid and will belong to me" She revealed with her face going dark at her words making her look more fearsome.
Sebastian and Flounder out of nowhere tried to protest but was quickly shut up by the eels wrapping themselves around them constricting them from speaking.
"Do we have a deal?" Ursula insisted, turning our heads away from a struggling Sebastian and Flounder to her ever smirking face.
" If i become human I'll never be with my father and sisters again" Ariel came to the conclusion, looking down at the ground sorrowfully at the thought.
'That's all I want' I thought to myself
"That's right but you'll have your man, life is full of tough choices" Ursula argued, laying on a rock not far from us while staring at us with a smirk.
"Oh and there is one more thing" Ursula seemed to gasp at her realisation "we haven't discussed the subject of payment, you can't get something for nothing" She pointed out, getting up from her relaxed position to swim to us.
"But we don't have any-" Ariel was cut of by Ursula who slapped her tentacle on her mouth.
"I'm not asking much, just a token you'll never even miss" She suddenly came into our faces while holding them up with a finger.
"What i want from you two is your voices"
"My voice" Ariel and me asked at the same time, both grabbing our throats while thinking about it".
"You've got it sweet cakes" Ursula sarcastically replied "no talking, singing ZIIPPP" She popped her mouth at the end of the p to emphasize her point.
"But without my voice, how can I" Ariel started to question but was quickly shut down by Ursula.
"You'll have your looks, your pretty faces and don't underestimate the importance of body language" Ursula explained, doing.... weird body rolls to prove her point of body language before breaking into more song.
'People and there singing' I rolled my eyes 'it's like a company is forcing them to dance and sing in order to get money from them'
She sang about men only being interested in a woman's pretty face and body compared to conversation, trying to convince Ariel why she doesn't need her voice to get the man of her dreams.
'I don't really care if i have my voice or not, i won't need it really as i barely talk now'
She materialised two scripts in front of Ariel and I which had an eerily gold glow to them with black writing only vaguely stating the terms we seemed to agree on with a pen along with it.
Urging us at the end of her song, Ariel and i picking the pens up and signed the scripts with glowing gold ink. When done the scripts wrapped around themselves while the pens disappeared and flew over to Ursula's waiting hands promptly exploding in gold sparkles.
She turned to her cauldron next, speaking words that we didn't understand but made the substance in the cauldron to bubble and rise up like a tornado which got bigger and bigger until it surrounded us.
Two misty green hands appeared from the tornado behind Ursula who ordered us to sing.
Ariel and i both began to sing and while we were, the two hands came towards us and swiped this glowing orb from our throats which made us stop.
The arms retracted to Ursula who was holding up a shell in which the hands seemed to be coming from. The hands still holding the two glowing orbs went inside the shell making the cauldron explode encasing Ariel and I in some kind of substance while Ursula laughed evilly in the background.
I wouldn't began to describe what was happening to us while in the substance but all of a sudden i saw my tail split into two legs which made the substance explode.
I tried to gasp for air but i couldn't which made me begin to panic. Ariel seemed to also panic, using me as a kick off to a hole in the wall until Sebastian came to help her and flounder me.
lesson here for you kids, don't trust a sea witch to not try and drown you after she helps you became human.
