The Sea Is My Song.

“I’m ready!” Melody declared as the smell of the sea rushed out of the room, thank goodness she’d had the forethought to open her windows.

Eric entered his daughter’s room with a smile, glancing briefly at the open windows, but choosing not to comment on them. He knew that given the precautions he and Ariel had taken to stop Ursula’s sister from getting to Melody, an open window could be dangerous, but he also thought that it could just as easily be harmless.

“Y-Yeah,” Melody lied rather unconvincingly. Balls were never her strong suit, everyone always stared at her, and it was no secret that the other noble children thought her odd.

‘ want me to stay? ’

‘ we’re almost home. ’

‘ you should be in bed. ’

‘ we can share it.’

‘ stay there. i’m coming to get you. ’

‘ shh, shh. you were dreaming. ’ 

‘ grab my hand. ’

‘ i’m just going to pick you up. ’

‘ everything okay? ’

‘ i won’t leave you behind. ’

‘ don’t worry. better out than in. ’

‘ who did that to you? ’ 

‘ sit down and rest. ’

‘ sweetie, i would never think that. ’

‘ come lay down in my lap. ’

‘ i know you think you’re all alone out there, but you’re not. ’

‘ call me when you get home. ’

‘ we should change those bandages. ’

‘ you’re safe here. ’

‘ honey… ’

‘ of course we love you. ’

‘ wait here. i’ll go run a bath for you. ’

‘ take my bed for tonight. ’

‘ i promise. ’ 

‘ you’re always welcome here. ’

‘ don’t talk like that. ’

‘ bad dream? ’

‘ talk to me. ’  

‘ it’s okay to cry. ’

‘ you need to be more careful.’

‘ we should hug this out. ’

‘ i worry about you. ’

‘ can i hold your hand? ’ 

‘ because i care about you. ’

‘ it made me think of you. ’ 

‘ take care of yourself. ’

‘ put your seatbelt on. ’ 

‘ where did you go? ’ 

‘ i didn’t mean to worry you. ’

‘ i made breakfast. ’

‘ sing something for me? ’

‘ open it and find out. ’

‘ how long have you been like this? ’

‘ you look nice. ’

‘ here, take my jacket. ’

‘ close your eyes and try to get some rest. ’

‘ focus on my voice. ’ 

‘ i meant every word. ’

‘ i was here all night. ’

‘ look both ways before you cross. ’

‘ you don’t have to talk. ’ 

‘ this is your favorite, right? ’

‘ you’ll feel better in the morning. ’

‘ you have a nice laugh. ’

‘ here, take my jacket. ’

‘ you could stay here. with me. ’

“Mom! What are you doing in my room?” Melody was all too aware of her hair damp with seawater, and her bag of treasures hidden behind her back.

“I mean, I thought you were in bed.”

when   ariel   had   entered   her   daughter’s   room   ,  JUST   TO   CHECK   ON   HER   ,   she   was   left   heartbroken   and   in   a   state   of   fear   when   melody   was   not   in   her   bed   ,   she   wasn’t   anywhere   to   be   seen   .   so   many   thoughts   ran   through   her   head   ,   at   first   she   was   trying   to  convince   herself   that   nothing   TERRIBLE   had   happened  ;   but   that   eventually   turned   into   the   worry   that   morgana   ,   the   sibling   of   the   sea   witch   ursula   herself   had   finally   gotten   to  her   daughter   .   ariel   had   ensured   her   husband   eric   was   informed   ;   he   was   able   to  get   the   EX-MERMAID   to   stay   in   the   castle   ,   just   incase   melody   ever   came   back   .

“No...” Melody tried to lie, she didn’t see what the big deal was, it was just the ocean, and Melody hadn’t even gone that deeply into it, just enough to stretch her legs and wet her hair.
