Eric followed Alana's jeep, he wanted to talk to her about the other night. He was shocked to see how close to the edge of town she was going. He stopped his car for a few moments, he couldn't let her cross.
He jumped out of his car and ran to her jeep, "Alana? Are you crazy?"

Alana looked up at him, torn out of her trance. "Eric? Eric WHAT are you doing here?" She asked him. "Were you FOLLOWING me?"
It was a ritual of hers, she would press on the accelerator and hurtle towards that town line, daring herself to cross; to just forget it all... but SOMETHING would always bring her to a screeching halt before she could cross. Usually it was family... but tonight... she had edged just a LITTLE closer...
Eric looked very upset. "I wasn't going to DO it...Alana said. "I just...ugh... you wouldn't understand..." Alana had the ivory dagger in her hands, purchased with so much of herself... the good parts of herself... long ago.

"Please don't I can't lose you like this Alana! I need you," Eric admitted.
"Why are you even attempting this? Don't you know what you will give up?" He went around to the side of her jeep and got in.
"If you go over, I am going with you."

"A lot of needless pain and pointless drama?" Her jaw nearly dropped as he got in the car. "What are you... GOD ERIC... I said I wasn't going to do it! Why must you be so...so... self-sacrificing ALL the time???" Though it was a romantic gesture... no... no, he wasn't meaning to be ROMANTIC. He was trying to guilt her so she WOULDN'T to do it at all, now that he was at stake. Low. Reeeeal low, Eric. Alana huffed. "What a pair we would be: two clueless idiots." She looked down at the dagger, playing with it's sharpness. "...though ignorance can be bliss... isn't that how the saying goes?"

"It's not true I don't think ignorance is bliss Alana I am much happier knowing who you are." Eric stopped seeing the dagger,
"Is that it? What you paid so much to save you sister for?" He asked touching her arm gently. "Alana you have so much pain, can you let it go? You wont be happy until you do." He leaned in a kissed her cheek wanting to do more but not wanting to push the little bit of trust she was showing him.

She closed her eyes, soaking in the warmth of that innocent kiss. "Yeah, well, easier said then DONE, Eric." She sighed, leaning her head back against her seat.
"I just... wish you could have seen me BEFORE the curse, Eric..." She admitted. "How I was then. That it had been me saving you instead of Ariel saving that no good... ugh..." She looked down at the dagger in her hands. "Then it would be different. I wouldn't be so screwed up... then maybe I could have been someone you deserve... but I'm not. There's a decent piece of me missing, it's been cut out, and it went missing the day I purchased THIS to help her..."

Eric thought about how strange that was, "Well its magic Alana it comes with a price everyone knows that. It doesn't matter what you were before I still care about you now. You paid to much, lost yourself its not to late to get it back. You know I will be here the whole time." He told her grabbing her chin gently and bringing her eyes to meet his.
"I've been told you in the past would never save a human. So if things played out differently I would have never met you Alana..." He confessed his blue eyes meeting her stunning purple.

She turned her head, taking it out of his hold. "I guess ARIEL told you that. Well.. it's true. I probably would have let you die... horrible monster that I was." She got out of the car, slamming the door shut. He wasn't making a move to leave, so she did... walking straight up to that line, twirling that dagger in her hands.
Just the THOUGHT of Ariel and Eric talking about her... before they... it made that dark withered part of her self that her price had placed in her writhe and contort painfully.
"Just GO Eric... I need to... think..."

"I'm not leaving Alana, you mean to much to me to see you do this." He grabbed her then pulling her back from the town line.
"Enough! You need to let it go why can't you let me in Alana?" He grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her slightly.
Eric was suddenly mad at her, all this pushing away she was hot and cold now he was finally sick of it. No wonder he wanted to kiss Ariel she was at least open about it and he would die before he shared that with Alana.
"Your the most stubborn women! I am here begging you for a chance and still you deny me!"

"NO... no you are here asking me to just LET GO of something that has been festering FOR 28 long years, whether I could remember it or not, IT WAS THERE!" She shot back. "I want you in my life, I really do... but you seemed determined to FIX me first and it just CAN'T BE DONE! OKAY? "

Suddenly Eric was mad he never once asked her to change but when this was crippling her, she had no choice.
"WHY ALANA? BECAUSE OF THIS!" He grabbed the dagger from her hands, "YOU THINK I WANT TO CHANGE YOU? YOUR WRONG I LOVED YOU LONG BEFORE THIS CURSE BROKE!" Eric held the dagger up it seemed so light in his hand, so small for such a price.
"IT THIS DAMN THINGS FAULT YOU CAN"T MOVE ON ALANA!" He screamed never having raised a voice to her in the 28 plus years he'd known her, finally with a rage he didn't know he had or understood he snapped the damn thing right in half. It burst into a purple dust that showered him and Alana.

"NO! STOP! THAT'S MINE!" She struggled with him, but he kept it out of her reach, continuing on with his yelling. "ERIC DON'T! YOU ASSHOLE!!!!!"
But the dagger was snapped, falling apart into long black strands, slipping from his hands onto the ground; mermaid hair. A cloud of purple dust erupted out of it's confines...
And then something was lifted from within Alana, an enormous weight, before something else slammed into her chest, replacing that lifting darkness. She groaned and fell to the ground.

Eric had a moment where he thought he might have killed her, pure panic filled him. He slammed to his knees next to her "Alana? Oh My God Alana? Are you okay?" He touched her shoulders.
His heart beating hard in his chest, she seemed okay... but was she?

Alana let out another groan, cause the fall had been a little jarring. But she opened her violet eyes at him. Holding her head, blinking.
"Wha... what happened?" She asked, as he was propping her up. "Eric... I..." She knew it was back... memories of Ariel that she had been suppressing, because of so much bitterness... they came flooding back... WONDERFUL memories full of love and promises between sisters. She LOVED Ariel... she always would.
And then the grief struck her.
"Shit... shit shit shit shit SHIT!" She cried out, burying her head in her hands. "Eric... I said... AWFUL things to her... I told her...oh Neptune..." She couldn't. She couldn't bring herself to repeat the final words she had said to her youngest sister... about father's heart attack being her fault. Tears started streaming.

Eric knelt down and pulled her into his arms so happy she was okay, "Alana, its okay you can talk to her Ariel will forgive you she loves you." He held her.
"Hell we can go talk to her right now if you want." He hugged her again and kissed her lightly on the cheek.
