Alana's violet eyes widened as her sister informed her of the man's intentions... she swallowed.
"We...we can't allow him that opportunity..." she said, steeling her nerves, even though she felt like her heart was fluttering about in a mad panic in her rib-cage. She resumed dragging herself around the room, trying to find another way out.
"Eric couldn't see me tonight, so he's coming by the peer tomorrow before work..." She said, trying to keep her voice level. "He might call Sheng? I don't know.. I don't know if they exchanged numbers; do guys even do that?"
Ariel said her last remark. Alana was too far away to hold her sister, so she used a sharp tone to get her sister's attention. "HEY... that's NOT going to happen, okay???" Alana was hoping she sounded convincing. She needed to convince herself too. "You've gotten out of an unbreakable deal with MALEFICENT... I'm sure we can get through this... together, Ariel."
She turned her face back towards the wall resuming her search to keep the doubts at bay.

Eric wandered along the deck as he looked for Alana. It was early and he had breakfast in a basket for her.
He knew she was usually around this time in the morning he was hoping to surprise her. When Eric reached the cove where Alana and her sister usually were he called out to her but there was no answer.
Eric waited by the shore when he noticed something washed up on the break of the waves. He walked over looking at it it was the part of a boat the very boat Alana's father sunk for her. He remembered it because she showed it to him before they sunk it.
This was bad it was in ruins, Eric looked at it for a moment. Then he turned and headed to the dojo he needed to talk to Sheng maybe he had seen Ariel recently.
He knocked on the door of the Dojo hoping Sheng was there.

Sheng was over seeing a class of Junior Level students, talking them through the motions of movement that he wanted to see, circling the class, when he happened to be close enough to the entrance to hear a knock. He excused himself to answer it.
It was Eric. Or Ron Anderson. Alana's boyfriends.
"Oh... hello Eric." He gave a curt bow. "I'm in the middle of-" He caught the prince's look and stopped short. "Is everything okay?"

Eric looked around and lowered his voice, "When was the last time you saw Ariel? I was just at the beach and I found the boat they were living in washed up on the shore it was broken into pieces. I looked for Alana and she didn't come maybe I am over reacting but we are in Storybrooke usually if something is off there is something very wrong."
He took a breath trying to calm himself, "I just want to know if I'm worrying for nothing or if something really is wrong." He waited to see what Sheng would say if Sheng had seen Ariel say this morning maybe he wouldn't worry so much. The look of worry that crossed Sheng's features told Eric he wasn't over reacting.

Sheng motioned Arista over to give her instructions to finish the class and lock up the studio later. He turned to Eric, jaw clenched.
"Show me."
Soon they were both at the beach, looking at the wreckage of the house boat. Sheng ran his hand along the boat's side, seeing some torn striations. "Look here." Sheng said; Eric joined his side. "A great chain was around the boat... hauling them out of the water..." Eric nodded, agreeing; being the navy sailor that he was he recognized this too. "They were uprooted out... and taken forcefully before they tossed it back in..." He was trying to keep his voice level, but his mind was raising; who would KIDNAP mermaids? Who had the means to DO SO?
He meet the prince's gaze. "This doesn't look good, Prince Eric."

"Damn it! I didn't think so I wanted to be wrong I really did." He ran a hand though his hair.
"What can we do now? We have to find them what ever reason for taking them it can't be good. Oh and please call me Eric I'm not really used to title's anymore." Eric didn't care about titles he never had which is why when he had a broken heart he took off into the Navy as far away from titles he could get.
"Where do we start?" It was clear he wasn't stopping if Eric had to search the ocean, the town and all the woods around this place he would. He wouldn't stop until Alana was back in his arms. He figured Sheng would be the same way with Ariel.

Sheng fell silent for a moment, before standing up.
"Hook." He said, bitterness in his tone. "Hook might have a clue. He's spent a lot of time with Ariel. He would know who has grievances with her." He turned to Eric. "Ariel always said that Alana stayed close to the depths of the ocean... so she wouldn't have any entanglements with surface dwellers. I have a feeling Ariel was the target and Alana got caught in the crossfires."

Eric looked at Sheng for a moment, "Hook... isn't he staying at Ariel's now that she isn't there?" He knew Hook was because Alana had talked about it a lot how mad she was at Ariel about it and how much Alana hated Hook.
Not that Eric could argue when he had his small date with Ariel he sensed the pain in her heart over Hook he knew the look in her eyes he had it when he fell in love well until he met Alana.
"Okay I think your right he is the best person to ask he would know who might want mermaids and why." Eric started walking with Sheng towards Ariel's place. He hadn't been there since the day Alana went to talk to her man that was a nightmare he was happy Sheng never saw Ariel like that thought Sheng probably would have fought for her. Just like Eric did for Alana.

Ariel had a marvelous collection of movies, especially for someone who had only been here for a few weeks. or was it months now? He wasn't sure anymore, some days it felt forever, others more like he had come just yesterday.
Now he was watching a comedy of sorts, something called 'The Producers', he didn't catch all of the jokes made, but it was still pretty amusing. even the random musical numbers weren't as obnoxious. He was about to the part where they finally showed the production when there was a knock at the door. The Captain quickly pulled off the popcorn kernel off the end of his hook placing it in his mouth before resting the bowl on the table and got up to answer the door.
"Oh...." Hook met the eyes of a very angry 'Sheng' and... did he know this other man? If he did he didn't remember,".... why do I get the feeling this isn't a friendly visit?"

Sheng forced his way in, glancing about briefly, seeing how at home the Pirate was in Ariel's apartment while she was stuck as a mermaid. He finally met the Pirate's eyes with his black gaze. "Ariel, and her sister, have been kidnapped." He said. "Eric found their dwelling washed upon the shore."
Sheng walked straight up to him. "You and Ariel have made enemies together. Who among them would want to kidnap two mermaids?"
That was all he said. No pleasantries. No catchup. Nothing of their past. And IF Hook decided to bring up past unpleasantness, Sheng was not so sure that he would be able to keep his zen...

Eric stood in the doorway he followed Sheng into the room. He wasn't the biggest Hook fan after hearing what happened from Alana.
He waited for Hook to tell them what they needed to know so they could go find Ariel and Alana. Still he really hoped a fight wouldn't break out.

Hooks eyes furrowed with concern," Enemies?" Well, to be honest there were plenty of 'enemies' to list.... but how many would be here in StoryBrooke? He guessed more than he'd like to think of," the first that comes to mind is another pirate..... but he was thought to be dead. His ship was swallowed by the sea and by flame"
Though, he could testify to the survival skills of a pirate,"..... He went by Black Beard in or world"

"Blackbeard?" Sheng repeated. The name didn't sound familiar. Though Sheng and his men had been exclusively used for the war against the Huns, though they had been masters of collecting rumors of all sorts. "We need to know everything, pirate. Why would he want mermaids?"

"He believed drinking different mermaids blood would bring him immortality," Hook responded," Corrupt and pure," Hook couldn't help but wonder which was considered 'pure' in this instance," when he, Ariel and I met for the first time, that is the task he wanted to use her for"

"Pure?" Sheng's voice was flat, his face stone-like... but inside he was cold with horror at what implications that would mean for Ariel. Or her sister. He looked back at Hook. "You will help us find them. He's a pirate. I'm sure most of you think alike." Men of little or NO honor seemed to think alike.
