The True Little Mermaid Story

Claimer: I own everyone in this short story.

This is sort of in a play format. I have this dedicated to my two friends; Julia and Jackey. Why I did . . . I forgot.

You can call this my first so sorry if it really sucks.

???: Everyone has heard of the story of The Little Mermaid, no? Well what if I were to tell you that the story you know is

false? You cannot believe me? Then what if I were to tell you that it was I, Rosa, who was the witch? Yes, it is true. I was the

witch, and I gave the boy. Do not interrupt! Yes, boy. Merman, not mermaid. He was the only boy in his family. A nice lad he

was. Named Angel, but was the exact opposite of his name. He was to my liking, but his parents didn’t like the attitude of the

next king of Atlanta. Hm? Oh, yes. Where was I? (You can see her nod her head.) Ah, yes. Well, why don’t I tell you the

story in a better manner? Oh, and prince boy, listen carefully. You’ll understand why he really didn’t like you, you obnoxious

brat of a boy. (She starts cackling.)

Prince: That is not funny. And I’m no boy; I’m twenty-three.

Rosa: Oh, shut it. You’re a boy to me. I’m one hundred eighty-three. PLUS the lad you were hitting on was twenty-eight.

Older than you. I thought you like younger men. So, ha!

Prince: Why don’t you shut up? He looked young, ok?

Rosa: Whatever. I’m blocking you out now.

Prince: Hey! You can’t do that! I’m I prince!

Rosa: (She isn’t listening to him.) It all started on Angel’s twenty-eighth birthday. He was ditching his annual birthday party,

again. His parents were screeching for him to get back. Anyways, he came over to my lair to hang out and maybe learn some

spells. I had a spell in store for him, but since he couldn’t come over sooner, I taught it to him that day. It was a spell to control

the water to change into a shape the caster wanted. After I taught him the spell, we went out for a little swim. On the swim, we

spotted a huge ship. Being the curious us, we decided to take a look at it from above the sea. It was gorgeous. Huge white

sails, big deck. It looked like it would belong to a king or prince, which unfortunately, was right.

Prince: What do you mean unfortunately? That was my ship. Of course he was fortunate.

Rosa: I thought I blocked you. Oh well, just need to push the button again. Lets see. When we looked at what the humans on

the ship were doing, Angel was awe struck. For on that ship was a beautiful girl. She was Princess Lorena, the stupid Prince

Daemon’s older sister. Even I have never seen such a beauty in the sea. But then, it struck. The deadly sea storm. Angel and I

quickly went back into the water. The ship, though, had no place to hide. It was destroyed and, luckily, they had a spare boat

where almost everyone got on board. Almost. Two people weren’t on. The princess and the prince were not on. We quickly

swam to them and grabbed them so they wouldn’t go any deeper, I the princess and Angel the prince. We took them to the

shore of where they live, following the mini boat. At the shore, we put the two near to where the other humans could see them

easily. But, before Angel could leave, the prince awoke and saw him. Of course, he didn’t completely see him, only his upper

body. After that incident, we quickly went to my lair before anything else could happen.

Prince: What a pity. I didn’t want him to go then.

Rosa: Go away, you’re ruining the story. Ahem. During the next couple of weeks, Angel had become different. He, well, how

do you say this? He started to act more like a . . . angel. Anyways, because he took more care of his responsibilities, his

parents thought it was time he took over the kingdom. They also got him a fiancé. This outraged Angel. So, he packed his bags

and ran away. He came to me asking if I could help him. I said ok and asked him where he was heading. He didn’t know

where to go. I asked him if there was a place he wanted to go. He said he wanted to be with that princess again. So, I thought

and thought about it. Finally, I got the idea to give him human legs. But, there was a downfall to it. In exchange for legs, he

would lose his beautiful voice. It didn’t matter for him; he wanted to see her badly. That’s the reason he changed. So I gave

him the potion and went with him to the shore. I gave him a magic necklace so we could keep in contact. For the first couple of

days after that, he didn’t contact me. A week after he left, he finally contacted me. He told me everything that went on that

week. How he started to live in the palace. He also talked about the prince hitting on him many times. He even mentioned that

the princess’ beautiful voice matched his. How he was more and more falling for her. The prince was a problem, though. He

couldn’t tell him to back off since he couldn’t talk. He did everything in his power to get the prince off him. It just intrigued the

prince more. He didn’t contact me for a month after that.

Prince: Hehe. We were having quality time then.

Rosa: You sick bastard. Go away. When Angel did contact again, he said that the princess didn’t love him. That she was to

marry a prince soon. Her brother kept getting worse and worse. He even went so far as to rape Angel. Angel was in shock so

he couldn’t contact me. The second time the prince tried, Angel beat him to a pulp. Something he couldn’t do the first time

since he was still not used to the human ways. The wedding was to be soon, about a month before it would take place. As the

days passed, the prince regained his dignity and started to hit on Angel again. Poor boy. The next time he contacted me, it was

two days before the wedding. It was to be held on a ship on the sea. He couldn’t stand it anymore. He wanted to become a

merman again. But he couldn’t. The potion doesn’t let you change back into a merman. The only way to change back would be

to kill the one he loved. He couldn’t stand the thought of it. So, I decided to go to him. When I got there, it was almost time for

the wedding. I called him over to me and told him that I would watch with him so he wouldn’t have to be near the prince. By

the end of the wedding, Angel was crying like crazy. I couldn’t bear to watch him like that, so I gave him the dagger to kill the

princess. What a crazy boy he was. Instead of killing the princess, that night, he got the princess and prince to come out onto

the deck. I was there too. He stood in front of the two, back to me. He stabbed himself with the dagger and jumped into the

sea. I was crying like never before, and showed myself before the two humans. I cried out to them, “Look what you have done

to the Prince of the sea! Princess, he loved you. Even more than you love your pathetic playboy prince. Prince, you’ve

harassed him even when he didn’t want you. I shall curse you both to die in the sea!” And with that, I took Angel’s body and

showed him to his family. That is the true story. The prince is still alive and has changed to liking ME! It disgusts me. The

princess died right after giving birth to her only child. Her playboy husband married another beauty soon after her death.

Please review. I don't care if it's bad or good, as long as you do. No, I'm kidding. But if you can, please criticize.
