“Of course I’m checking to see if your Alive.” He said and patted his shoulder gently. “I hate what dad has done to you.” He growled. “I’m sorry I didn’t see it coming.. Can I help you.. get to him again?” He asked

Aylee swam around the kingdom looking desperately for Alec but was unable to find him. “Find cousin.” She ordered to her guards.

Alec gasped and wiped his eyes glaring at the man trying to get into his loves room. Their room. He let out a fatal hum his voice began to break. As he chocked through a cry but continued on trying to lead his the man away he sank into the water swimming as fast as he could to the sea witch. “Stop it! He-help me. Man is trying to marry my husband.” He almost knocked over the cauldron spilling some contents on his hands and over the side.

He hasn’t been too Far that day and had no intent too. Unlike many of his relatives Alec enjoyed music yes but not so much the loud festivities of it all. It was a day of celebration his cousins birthday except now even he had enough and had retired for the evening. Alec however, was still feeling restless only a different sort and found himself looking back to see just how far he had drifted. He wasn’t too far gone but further than he had intended, he must ha e been real lost in thoughts.. seeing things above the water even while still below it was nothing new, something else of the human world that he tried to stay away from.

From what he had heard there was not much good about them.. rather the opposite and yet something seemed different this time.. he had no intention of travelling up to land.. still he had the ability which was not so common amongst mer folk but his fathers side was different in that respect but it hurt oh did the change hurt . Before he knew it his head was above water and he saw him... he was familiar but.... a good familiar, Alec Tilted his head swimming just a little bit closer but keeping a fair distance. What was he doing out here now.. humans.. dangerous but fascinating though Alec didn’t pick up on danger from him.. in his opinion, something else nearby suddenly did. Panic gripped his heart suddenly he knew those ships, diving deep under water now he pushed through the water popping up and gripping gently ferrés arm. “Leave!” Was all he spoke eyes piercing deep as he focused on the incoming ship.

“Of course Gabriel.” She smiled. “I’m sending your brother in now. He’s been waiting anxiously to see you again.” She chuckled at him staring inside

She let out a happy trill of agreement watched the castle frowning at the thought of Ferre’s dad still there. “I tell Uncle we spoke.”

Alec paused a moment but saw no other way. “Deal.” He said back carefully and swam off towards the surface as fast as he could.

“I promise your majesty.” She said smiling softly “I l won’t let them in here but I can’t guarantee your mother won’t let any in the castle.” She served him a little more soup and water.

“Thank you for shell.” She smiled and gently nipped his ear. A little hum and soothing song escaping. She slowly slipped back into the water. “You need guide.” She said lifting up her own shell. “Water will start to grow as you grow closer and will fill show more as you go. Have to reach it before water in shell runs out”

“And if you are wrong?” He challenged. “If you are right.. I come back here?” He asked cautiously

“Then I will speak to nickie later.” She assured and brushed his hair lifting up the back of his shirt. “Well.. let’s keep those bandages on and let the salve sink in some more… but. It is looking much better. It must have felt awful.” She frowned

“Tomorrow.. evening.” She said nodding. “Sunset. Go slow.. take time, it is full of broken rock..holes.”

“Why did you lie to me?” He turned to the eels glaring. “I dont.. w-want to see it. I just w-want to be with my husband. To not marry another or watch him do the same.” He cried his tail growing paler. “I right you were sorceress but your just a deceiver.. a liar like them.” He said softly thinking of the pirates. “I’m leaving.” He hissed and flicked his tail harshly turning around to swim out

“Perhaps.. once you get there.. your brother nickie.. he can reign here train for himself being king while you stay with Alec for a while.” She suggested and set aside some more medicine for him. “Let’s check your back again.”

“Yes I can but how you get king here?” She asked frowning. She recalled the look on Alec’s face after he was sentenced back to the ocean. His words on how they could feel what the other was going through, hear it even. “King Gabriel okay to get to beach?” She let out an excited trill and took the shell studying it. “ for me? It’s beautiful.” She said excited. “I bring you something tomorrow. Special “

“No!” He yelled and banged on the wall so hard it could split knocking over some vials and forming large tears in his eyes. “I was told you could help me! I risked my kingdoms wrath to come here. I- I-I thought you wanted to help me. I won’t marry another, and neither would he. P-please.” His voice ached. “There has to be something .. Anything. Even just for a day or two.”

“Your majesty I-” she stopped speaking and let him continue. “I know.. your right. Its not fair what they are doing.. What they expect of you. I have never seen you so happy as when you are with Alec.”  she smiled and cupped his cheek gently.  “He im sure misses you so much.” She stepped back and took a seat to sort out the rest of the medicine. 

Aylee couldn't help give a small pout at the news. “Alec only.” she repeated and sighed. a low hum and chirp escaping as she flicked her tail. Nodding she pulled herself partway up the rocks. “ I know a place. Cousin does too. We sneak there to skip concerts and some luring sailer days. It is not easy walk..” she warned “Over rocky terrain but.. it is private.” 

“ But how can I stop it if I cant get on land.” he cried frustrated. “Please, I’ll do anything.” he said looking over the cauldron and back up at her. “What do you want?” he begged.

“Tomato soup it is.” She smiled and brought out some crackers to have with it. “Your mother.. she is just checking that your father and Eric are still being held without being moved. Not until you and Alec decide.”

Aylee swam up fast pushing past her sisters and grinning when she reached the direct and saw who it was. Her eyebrows furrowed looking at Nate but was fast to return her gaze back to Jack. “Have not seen cousin yet but.. what is your message. Is it for him only?” She asked tilting her head

“Oh.. so.. so you can’t give me legs longer..?” He said disappointed “then please.. tell me what you’ve seen and heard.”

“Alright.. let me make you some soup Gabriel.” Marie smiled when they left. “Any kind you like.”

Nate huffed when they reached the shoreline. “What do you think? Should we take a boat or head to the cove? Which do you think would call her faster?” He squeezed jacks hand.

“I.. Im hoping you can help me.. I want legs.. longer so I can be with my husband. He’s the king.. on land.” He said swimming over pushing hanging plants aside and looking around stopping at the large cauldron.

“Why don’t you let Jack and I investigate any potential homes.. that could be a risk of uprising.. we can gather those loyal in the throne room and you can take back your kingdom.”

“Of course.” He hugged him and opened the back door leading to the beach

“That is all?” He asked confused and stilled when they approached the opening of the deep rock castle opening. “H-hello?”

“How about the part where we get into something more comfortable.” He teased kissing his nose.

Alec nodded biting his lip and followed close behind “and the deal? Has she said anything about it? About what she wants?”

“I will cook whatever you like my love.” Nate smiled “how about fresh lobster?” He blushed

“And.. and that she uses for her magic.” He said and nodded “okay.. can you guide me there?”

“A new meeting spot that is hopefully not far.” Nate said. “And.. will you have to have a tail? To get there?Your bodies are still recovering. Is your father still imprisoned?”

Nate kissed jacks head “I don’t think you can get out of that one my love, but I will help you come up with an excuse.” He laughed. “And you.. are taken, let that siren try.”

Alec grimaced and wrinkled his nose. Uncertain. “Were.. were you following me for a while? If you really are.. prove it to me.. you must have something of hers. Some way you were watching me. The.. the deal I want to make with her, no one else can know.”

“I think.. many after this, hopefully will.. the kingdom is I think.. still terrified from that man coming in. Anyone that still doesn’t respect you well.. they don’t belong in your kingdom.” She said with a huff.

“Of course we can.” Nate nodded “I know someone Aylee will love to talk to.” He said smirking jokingly at Jack.

“What?” Alec turned raising his eyebrow slightly confused his tail flicking nervously and skeptical he held onto his satchel tighter. “Who are you?” He challenged eyes darkening

“Oh Gabriel..” Marie tutted and brushed his hair. “I will sneak you out much as you like.” She whispered “and whatever order you decree we will help see it through, I don’t think tonight is that night though alright?” She whispered taking his hand gently. “You don’t need to be your father to gain that back i promise.”

“Jack and I.. we can hang by the coast if you would like my king.” Nate asked holding his sword in its Sheath

Alec slipped through the kingdom through the tall ocean grass further away from the castle and through the old fallen stopping in an old sunken ship bedroom “which.. way.” He whispered looking around

She smiled and nodded “You know maybe one you can close off.. or if there is an underwater cave that rises to land? They will be too frightened to enter the water your highness. They won’t know it rises to land.” Nate frowned. “I thought people were starting to come around.” He muttered confused.

The other clans king Roland glared and waited in hiding for Alec’s father to leave.. “Alec.. he’s going to try and find the sea sorceress to stay on land. I need one of you to convince him.. your with her.. guarantee you can help and bring him to me. He’s not going back up to land to be with that human.��� He hissed turning to his friend.

Alec searched his own room knocking over vials and sheets to try and find his map that led to the other drop off and edge of their sea. “I’m coming my love.” He whispered and grabbed his bag humming slowly

“I won’t let them, do you have another cove spot with him? A concealed one? .” She lifted his chin and smiled at him wiping the soothing wet cloth on his forhead again. “Now lay back down please your highness? Just for the night? I don’t want you burning up.. if you end up seeing him tomorrow night.. you both find perhaps another cove.. one your guards don’t know about yet.” She whispered in his ear

Nate hugged Jack and smiled at Marie standing by the doorway and waved at Ferre. “Aylee took care of any of the pirates and your fathers noblemen that tried swimming away.” Nate said wrapping his arms around Jack gently. “How are you doing your highness?”

“They have too.” Alec said and shook his head hard when the other clan approached. “I said no!” He shouted. Swimming towards his room through the mangroves and overlooking the large drop off to the higher statues. “I told you what would happen if you try going against me.” He seethed and opened the large shell bed. “I want our best siren defense.. protect any ships watch our coves please.”

“Then.. every hour visit you get with him.. I suppose the tenderness will mean more will it not?” Marie sat down and stroked his hair “oh your highness I.. it saddens me to say that those that may have lingering loyalties fear causes them to act out of turn.. to say or do things they may not otherwise.. but don’t get discouraged me, your brother, Nate.. Jack and many others will never argue or not support you. “ she brought him fresh tea.

“I’d be lonely with another beside me every night unless it was my husband” he said and hardened his cold stare at the other clan approaching. “I already gave me answer. No and if that means doubling our defense so be it.” He hissed and showed his sharpened teeth letting out a piercing growl

Alec however, was still feeling restless only a different sort and found himself looking back to see just how far he had drifted. He wasn’t too far gone but further than he had intended, he must ha e been real lost in thoughts.. seeing things above the water even while still below it was nothing new, something else of the human world that he tried to stay away from.

From what he had heard there was not much good about them.. rather the opposite and yet something seemed different this time.. he had no intention of travelling up to land.. still he had the ability which was not so common amongst mer folk but his fathers side was different in that respect but it hurt oh did the change hurt . Before he knew it his head was above water and he saw him... he was familiar but.... a good familiar, Alec Tilted his head swimming just a little bit closer but keeping a fair distance. What was he doing out here now.. humans.. dangerous but fascinating though Alec didn’t pick up on danger from him.. in his opinion, something else nearby suddenly did. Panic gripped his heart suddenly he knew those ships, diving deep under water now he pushed through the water popping up and gripping gently ferrés arm. “Leave!” Was all he spoke eyes piercing deep as he focused on the incoming ship.
