Disney Taken Over

The Mirror

Chapter 8

As soon as Aurora and Aladdin piled on, I bombarded the princess with questions.

"Are we going to see Phillip?" Was my first, and I knew that that wasn't the best question, because her eyes looked so sad and hopeful, but her lips thinned and she simply shook her head.

"Ahem." Aladdin coughed, clearing his throat to breach the awkward silence and so I continued asking my questions. "Are there any shops where we could change?" Aurora glanced at me for a second before looking away again.

"Helloooooooo?" Aurora was being annoying, and I had about a million other things I needed to ask her. After another two minutes of stony silence, I waved my hand in front of her face, looking away from the sky ahead.

"Turn that way." She finally said, pointing to my left. I rolled my eyes slightly as I curved to the side as gently as I could, so Aladdin could at least rest a little bit.

"So when-" I was interrupted by Aladdin, who kicked my foot just a bit, which I took as a warning signal to stop, so I shut up.

Occasionally, Aurora would raise a thin and delicate hand and point to the left or right, guiding me towards Malificents castle. On our way, we had flown directly overhead Aurora's castle, and she slowly wiped away a tear.

I grimaced at what emotion Aurora had to be going through. She was so brave, putting others before herself. If it were me, I would run to Eric, no literally, I would go the distance for my handsome little sailor.

I sighed, but kept control of the carpet. Aurora must have noticed my mood change because she started to talk to me, no doubt to try to lift up my spirits. I should be lifting up her spirits, not the other way around!

I silently scolded myself for the imperfection, but listened to what Aurora had to say. "Dear, I know being away from your love is hard..." She rubbed my back as she spoke, trying to alleviate the sorrow.

"I know you know. I just can't wait to see him again in that wonderful mirror!" Aurora but her lip at my words, and I knew something was wrong. "You okay?" I asked reassuringly, I would be her shoulder to cry on if needed.

She sighed before answering. "I lied, the mirror works every two days, but I wanted some time with Phillip.." She hid her face in her hands, obviously ashamed, but I couldn't stay mad at her for being I love.

"It's fine Rose, you were kind enough to share." She nodded a little at my reply. She took out the mirror and handed it to me. "I want you to use it. Please." I was about to argue, but she shushed me.

"Ariel, I will see Phillip soon. Now let me take over." And with that, we switched places and I held the mirror in my hand.

I smiled softly and thought happy thoughts of Eric. Eric smiling, me and Eric dancing, Eric teaching me all kinda of land things. I smiled at all the warm thoughts that had filled my mind, "Show me Eric." I declared and the mirror started to work its magic.

I nearly jumped out of the carpet as the image slowly came up, and I quickly smoothed down my hair and rubbed my face of all the grime.

I put on my brightest smile, preparing for my prince, and the image finally processed. I was not prepared for this.

Mara... Was kissing.... She was kissing my Eric. I stared in shock as she held him close, their mouths smashed together. Eric looked bewildered, but I didn't care. What in the world was going on?

"Eric?" My voice broke a little, and Mara stopped kissing him long enough to see my face and look at me in shock. She scampered away and left me alone with Eric.

"I can explain! Ariel please!" But it was too late. The tears were already flowing and I shook my head. I silently sobbed, my tears falling on my toga.

I gave him a watery smile before speaking, my world tumbling around me. "Stay safe." Was all I managed before the connection stopped, and I was left with the burning memory of Mara kissing Eric.
