Eric watched as Alana's father was so happy with her being a mermaid.
"Please Sir I mean you daughter no harm. But she can't stay a mermaid in this world people will exploit that. She isn't happy please help her I can assure you my intentions are pure I'd never hurt her."

King Triton sharply stood up to his full height, which was about level with this intruder, finally remembering the state in which he had discovered the two. He eyed the pile of clothing a little distance away.
"Forgive me... but who are you?" He asked shortly. "And why do you feel it is appropriate to be here with my daughter at this ungodly hour?" He held the trident in both his hands, menacingly. "You seem to be upsetting my daughter.."
Alana protested, pleading.
"It's alright Alana. I'll protect you. Everything will be alright." He envisioned all of his daughters reverting to their mermaid forms. "This is a blessing. Be happy, Alana. Neptune is blessing you for your faithfulness..."

"I'm Eric I work with Alana and she is upset because she is a mermaid! Not because I am here. Do you understand why she can't be a mermaid in this world? She will be in danger here? Please Sir she is upset don't you see this?" He leaned down to Alana,
"It will be okay I'll help you." He touched her hand for a moment. Standing up, "If you wont help her Sir I will some how."

"What DANGER? Are YOU the danger? Because I am more then perfectly capable of protecting her from your kind, human..." The dim lights over head starting flickering; everywhere was darkness except for the brilliant glow of the Trident. "Perhaps you would like a demonstration? Show you how I can protect what I love..." He raised the weapon.

"NO DADDY!" Alana screamed, swimming up the ledge and tugging on his pant leg, trying desperately to get his attention. "I... I am happy, Daddy... so happy..." She lied. Anything to defuse the anger. "Eric was just leaving. I'm sorry, I really am happy." She forced a smile, though a few tears escaped.
The lights overhead came back on. The stark darkness subsiding.

Eric nodded, "Yes I was just leaving Sir." He took one more look at Alana before he walked out the door texting Ariel as soon as he was outside.
Ariel its Eric your sister needs you she is at the pool can you come?"
Ariel responded right away.
Finishing up a set and I will be there. I hope she is okay thanks Eric.
Eric went to go back home he wanted to be with Alana he would show up in the morning as soon as her father left.

Alana watched Eric go... wanting more then anything for him to stay, and for her father to leave. He stuck around, jabbering on about this 'blessing' and figuring out what triggered it. Eventually fatigue got to him. He kissed the top of her head and headed upstairs.
Alana was left alone. She took in a shuddering sigh and dove underwater, trying to make a comfortable bed out of some sponge and coral... but she couldn't sleep. How could she? Instead she just started mindlessly swimming around the edge of the pool, feeling just how confining the walls could be...

Ariel came rushing into the pool area, "Alana?" Ariel walked into the pool area. "Are you here and okay? Eric texted me and I am worried about you." She came to the edge of pool looking in.

Alana heard distorted noise coming from the surface. She looked up to see red hair. She slowly came up to the surface.
"...Ariel..." Alana choked. She swam over to her youngest sister. "Oh Ariel!" She put her wet arms around her sister. Sobs shaking her body. She honestly thought that she had cried everything out... she was wrong.

Ariel hugged her sister back, "Alana? Your a mermaid? How did this happen?" Ariel kicked off her shoes and slid into the water in her nice new black dress. None of that mattered when her sister needed her. Ariel was able to hug her much tighter now that she was in the water.
"Alana we will figure this out. I promise I will help you I don't care what we must do." Ariel wanted to cry with her, she was so scared of being a mermaid again and now Alana was one all alone. Ariel would make sure she wasn't alone she would not fail her this time.
Now tell me what happened maybe we can figure this out?"

"Ariel..." Alana knew Ariel had forgiven her for all the horrible things she had said about her little sister; true, she had been missing a piece of herself due to a deal that made her bitter and angry... but she still felt she owed Ariel... and here she was... giving unconditional love like she always did. It made Alana break down even more.
"I... I believe you..." She sniffed. "You... you were always the resourceful one... the smart one... I believe that we'll be able to find a way together...I just wish I felt certain..." She wiped away tears, still clinging to her sister, or else she would float away. Her tail swayed back and forth.
"I was with Eric, and we..." She blushed, beet red. "We...made love...for the first time..." She looked away, a little embarrassed that she was sharing this with her little sister...who was actually more experienced then Alana when it came to men. "I was in his arms... I fell asleep... maybe a few hours passed... and then I woke up like this. Scared Eric shitless..." She forced a laugh.
"You... you didn't experience this when you.... with Hook, did you?"

Ariel smiled so her sister had found happiness with Eric. Ariel was thrilled of course then this. "You mean did I change into a mermaid after sleeping with Hook well no... I can't imagine what would cause this? Alana I can tell you for sure before you even think it this was not to punish you for finding happiness. You and Eric love each other there is nothing wrong with being together with someone you love."
Ariel brushed Alana's hair out of her face, "Even if they don't love you back..." She whispered under her breath it was true Ariel knew to well what sharing something that intimate with someone who doesn't truly love you feels like. Though some of it was nice... and she really thought she was moving past it.
Okay Ariel we are focusing on dealing with Alana's issues not yours.
"Anyway we are going to figure this out. Now have you spent any time with Maleficent or anything magic lately?" She didn't think Mal had anything to do with this but who knew! That fairy had her hands in everything in this town including Hook. Ariel shook her head she would never understand him.

Alana looked at her sister sadly. Ariel deserved better then loving someone who refused to love back. She cursed Hook in her head, but said nothing out loud. She had made a promise to herself not to go off on the topic of Hook in front of Ariel. Being such a fresh wound still.
"That witch? No... I've stayed far away from her... though..." She thought back to that night that Eric was cornered in the parking lot. "There was one time... Eric was jumped in the parking lot just outside the station by Maleficent and some really messed up creepy guy. He... he bit Eric.. and..." Alana shuddered. "I stopped them... I had the Trident. I was going to hide it, but... I used it. I didn't know I COULD use it like that..."

"Hmm the Trident is very powerful magic I wonder if that would have anything to do with it? Great Daddy will never help you get back to your human form. Maybe I can talk to him its dangerous for you to be in this form here Alana. Trust me I know I did a lot of research there was a good chance I would be come a mermaid again." Ariel hugged her sister tighter.
"I will plead to father in the morning for now you should stay here but Alana it wont do for long term we might have to move you to the ocean. If you think I wont visit you everyday your wrong and maybe you will once again give me the courage I need to get over him once and for all. You might not have to be alone while we figure this out. Eric wont give up on you and none of our sisters will either we will help you Alana we all love you so much. You have been the strong one for far to long and now you can lean on me."

Alana looked sad. "Dad... he doesn't understand. He's happy that I'm this way. To him it doesn't make sense to change me back. For the longest time... I thought that maybe turning back would be a good thing, i just didn't fit in with the humans; that I can understand... but... now that I've found a place where I WANT to belong, by Eric's side, I just CAN'T agree with father... but I don't know how to tell him." Alana had to go underwater and come back up; her face was getting too dry during this conversation.
"Dad is... confused... he almost killed Eric, Ariel. He thought Eric was hurting me..." Alana was still so shaken up by all of it. "I haven't been strong... I've been too scared... I always have... and now I just can't find a corner to back up into anymore." She leaned her head against her sister's shoulder. "Thank you... for understanding... even though I don't deserve it. Not after I... oh Neptune, I made you feel so alone through the whole Hook ordeal..."
