"Well I was thinking I'd walk there and that would give me time to think. Thanks for everything and offering to give me a ride its nice of you. Alright I better go. Can I come by again soon and update you?" Ariel laughed for the first time all day.

"Of course... ANY time, hon. You know that." Else smiled. She walked Ariel to the door and let her out. As she closed the front door, she leaned against it. She said a little prayer for the little mermaid.

Ariel made her way to Jefferson's house not looking forward to this at all. What would he say? Ariel had no idea she wasn't sure how he felt for her and had no idea what to say.
She took the long way to his house and went over what she could say to him a million times. Finally she reached his door she sighed and knocked.

Jefferson was taking care of a Grace who had called him at home because she was not feeling good at school. He had gone down to the kitchen to get her some tea when he heard the knock. He went to answer it. "Ariel!" he greeted warmly. What a pleasant surprise! I was about to make some tea! Grace came home sick, you see.. Come in!" He had a broad Cheshire like grin on his face.

"Oh is she okay?" Ariel asked following him into the house.
"Actually I came to talk, I found out something today and I do believe you should know but if now is a bad time I can always come back later?." Ariel told him really not wanting to do this.

Jefferson blinked, setting the kettle on the stove.
"Something to tell me? Well, by all means, tell me" he told her, the grin still on his face. "He then chuckled, or is it something you'd rather not have...'little ears over hear'?" he said with a mused look. "We could go outdoors then.

"Yes, actually that would probably be good." He led her out to the back year.
They both sat on the porch swing.
"Jefferson, I really like you and it's because of how much I like you that I think you should know everything I found out today. That like so many others, I must pay a price for the magic that keeps me human. It's this necklace." Ariel held up the necklace a simple little thing that held much power.
"But I guess its more then that. See when it was created for me, the Dark Fairy who made it used the love I had for Hook as a catalyst I guess. I had no idea where it came from because Hook didn't give it to me until right before I came here. Now I find out if I ever move on from him I become a mermaid again it's now my love for him that keeps me human I guess, I thought I was moving on but this is as far as I can go. I can't let you deal with something like this it isn't fair to you." Ariel felt tears burn her eyes but held them back.
"I don't wish to love him I really don't but the alternative is being a mermaid alone in a world with out other mermaids. Honestly Jefferson I have no idea what to do. You deserved to know I knew that and if you walk away I would totally understand. I am so sorry if I had known I never would have allowed us to get close. Ariel told him looking into his eyes and shocked by the amount of pain she saw in them.

As Ariel spoke, slowly, Jefferson's Cheshire grin faded....
Until the grin had disappeared completely. One could almost see the moment Jefferson's poor widower heart broke....
He didnt say a word.....he didnt even shed a single tear as he slowly rose to his feet.

Ariel had expected a lot but him not saying anything was troubling to her. "Jefferson? At least say something please?" She followed after him.

Jefferson briefly checked his pocket, found that he had what he needed, and started for the woods...

There was no way Ariel was just going to let him walk away. She was worried anyway and had a really bad feeling. She followed him for a while actually. She wasn't dressed for the woods either.
He was almost in a trace and she had no idea what was going on.

He walked a ways away from the house out towards the woods where the town had a plot of land bought from Curse-Jefferson in order to bury the dead as a cemetery. He didn't even notice Ariel following him.

Ariel struggled to keep up with him damn he walked fast and she was really starting to worry. She followed him out to a field confused but not ready to head back. She was to worried about him.

Jefferson suddenly stopped then. He was standing near a grave marker under a tree. He reached into his pocket, took out his pistol, cocked it, and placed the barrel of the gun against his temple.

That was not something Ariel was expecting he wouldn't... but clearly he would. Ariel didn't think to much about it she just ran at him as fast as she could.
She reached him and slammed into him as hard as she could. They both fell into the mud. The gun flew out of his hands and landed somewhere.
"ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU WOULD DO THAT TO YOUR DAUGHTER!!" Ariel screamed at him she was so mad. Something in her broke Ariel grabbed his vest.
"What is wrong with you Jefferson!! You have Grace you can't leave her!!" Ariel yelled at him on her knees leaning over him.
Why was he taking this so hard.. they just started dating surely he didn't have feelings that we to strong for her.
