(This message was writen on the back of the picture)
Ariel looked again at the mermaid that resembled her. This mermaid was very beautiful and her red hair curled at the end of her tail. A necklace hung at the mermaids neck, it was a locket like Ariel was holding, but it had a word on it that Ariel could not make out.
Who, was this mermaid and why did she look like Ariel?Ariel ran this question through her had again and again. Then she grew wearyand she decied to show the locket to her father becuase he was the sea king and he knew every one in the sea. Ariel swam as fast as she could to the palace.

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 2[/glow]
Ariel swam untill she reached the throne room. Triton greated his daughter with a big hug. " What do you have there dear?" Triton asked as he caught a glimps of gold shining in Ariel's hand.
Ariel opened her hand for Triton to see." What is this word father and who is this mermaid?' Triton could not believe his eyes after so many years, he thought it had been lost forever. Triton took the locket from Ariel's hand and he silently turned and swam away to his personal quaters. " Daddy, who is it, Daddy, whats the matter?" Ariel asked yet Triton did not answer. Ariel thought she saw her father wipe a tear from his eye,but it couldn't be, her father never cries.
Triton never came out of his personal quaters the rest of the day and on into the night. Triton laid the locket on a night stand and he went to his closet. He took a jewlery box covered in peruls. He opened the lid and inside was another picture of the mysterious mermaid, but beside her was a younger looking Triton.
Ariel could not sleep her mind swam with wonder, who was this mermaid, and why did Triton act so funny, why wouldn't he answer her. Maybe in the morning her father would tell her, but Ariel's curiosity was too strong. She jumped out of bed and gathered supplies for her search.
Ariel snuck past the gurads and slowly swam into the dark waters of the oceans night. Will Triton ever come out of his room? Will Ariel find out the truth before dawn? Find out in chapter #3.
( this is the picture Ariel found in the locket)

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter #3[/glow]
Ariel swam a mile from the castle and she looked back, she could see the lights of Atlantica brillantly glowing. She then turned and swam away. Triton gazed at the mermaid in the picture, and then wiping a tear from his eye he put the picture back into the jewlery box. He sat the box down on his night stand and he laid down on his bed. Memories glided threw his mind as he fell asleep.
Ariel saw a little dolphine he was swimming in circles and mumbleing.
"Whats the matter?"
Ariel asked as the dolphin stopped and looked at her.
" I got lost, I don't know where my family went."
" I will help you find them, a little dolphins should not be alone at night ." The sea can be a big scare place at night" Ariel said as she petted the dolphin.
" ok, I will go with you, i know that you are King triton's daughter and you will help me" the little dolphin said as the stared swimming deeper into the dark sea night.
Will the little dolphin find his family, and will Ariel find out who the strange mermaid is,,find out in chapter #4.
[glow=red,2,300]chapter #4[/glow]
Ariel and the dophine swam most of the night. It was almost dawn when Ariel decided it was time to take a break.
" lets take a nap and then we will have more energy to search, and it will be morning soon so it won't be so spooky." Ariel said to the little dolphin as it closed it's eyes and feel fast asleep.
A dark shadow swept across the ocean floor. It caught Ariel's eye before she fell asleep. She looked up, a great ship was floating by on the waters surfus. Ariel wanted to investigate, but she knew she must stay with the young dolphin. Ariel watch the ship float out of sight. The oceans waters glimmered with oranges, pinks,and greens as the sun began to rise. Ariel watch the beauty of the under water sun rise as her eyes grew heavier and heavier. By the time the sun had risen, Ariel was fast asleep.
Ariel opened her eyes. It was late after noon, the little dolphin was playing with little seahorse that swam around and around the dolphin as it tryied its hardest to catch one. Ariel giggled. The dolphin looked at Ariel and swam up to her.
" Can my new friends come with Us?"The little dolphin said as the little sea horses swam up to Ariel. Ariel patted them on the head and she nodded her head.
" well, we better get a move on we are going to have a late start today."Ariel said as she turned to swim on into the search. The dolphin and sea horses followed her as the kept playing tag.
Triton slambed his fist on the arm rest of his throne.
" I do not care how long it takes, go and find her....
" but sire,, we searched as far as the dark reef, the soldiers are afraid to go any farther." The comander of Tritons army said as he swam back a little in wait for Tritons anger to blast again.
" Fine, I will go my self, sent a couple of your finest soldiers to acompany me, we need to find her"
" ..but sire, she always goes off on her own with out telling any one, why is this time any differant?" the comander ask with a puzzled look cascadeing from his face.
" She could be in danger, I recieved a message from Ursula this morning, there is a seceret of mine that she knows and she has threatened to harm.......
Triton was unable to finish his sentence, tears flowed from his eyes.
" Sire, I will send for my two best soldiers right away." The comander said as he soluted and swam off to speak with his soldiers.
[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 5[/glow]
Ariel , the dolphin and the little sea horses came to a dark part of the sea. The dark reef loomed around them. " WE need to turn back." Ariel said as she turned back and started swimming the way they came, but before they could get very far black sea weed grabbed them and held them tight. The little dolphin and the sea horse began to cry. One little sea horse did not get caught so he swam off to look for help. Ariel kept trying to comfort the little sea creatures, but they just kept crying.
Soon the little sea horse met Triton and his soldiers. Triton followed the sea horse to where Ariel and the others were trapped." Daddy, oh I am so sorry... I.." Ariel could not finish Triton gave her a angry look and Ariel knew she should be quite. The soldiers cut Ariel and the little sea creatures free.
" You can all come and stay at the palace until we find your parents." Triton said tenderly to the dolphin and the little sea horses. Ariel remained silent the whole trip back to the palace. When they at found a place for the little dolphin and sea horses to stay, Triton called Ariel to his personal quarters.
" Ariel , I should have told you about this." Triton said as he showed Ariel the picture of Triton and the strange mermaid. I know how curious you get, and it is partly my fault you left, because I would not tell you who she is. Triton paused,,,, she is your mother, and I thought she was dead, but she is alive and she is in danger." Triton said as he wiped a tear from his eye. "please tell me the whole story daddy." Ariel said as she hugged her father tightly.
"You were just a baby and Naiya and I where so happy we decided to celebrate. Back then humans and merfolk were at peace. WE were going to have a party at the surface with the neighboring human kingdom. During the party, a pirate ship came and they killed most of the people on the ship exept for a small boy with black hair and a tall thin man. I think the boy was the prince of the neighboring human kingdom. We all tried to stop the pirates, but they captured your mother, and then they sped off. After that, I made the decree that no one must talk about the attack and since then I have hated humans."
"Ursula knows were your mother is and she has threatened to harm Naiya unless I give Ursula the crown. Ariel,I am going to go against my believes and sent one of my best soldiers to the surface,,, I am going to turn him into a human so he can search for Naiya on land." " Father, you know how much I long to see the human world,, please let me go to" Ariel ask as she hugged her father tightly again.
" Ariel, I thought I lost your mother to the humans, I am not going to put you in danger too, it was a mistake for me to make peace with the humans,,, I do not want to lose another loved one." Ariel lowered her head in defeat. " OK. I will stay here". Triton met with his best soldier the very next day, they swam to the surface. Ariel followed them with out them knowing. When the noonday air met their skin it chilled them alittle.
Triton gave the soldier instructions that Ariel could not here, then he pointed the triton at the soldiers tail. Ariel swam quickly and pushed the soldier over enough that the power from the triton changed Ariel's mermaid tail into legs." let me do this daddy, please." Ariel begged as the soldier held her up above water so she would not drowned." Fine, Luke..." Triton said to the soldier. " Go with her". '"yes sire" Luke said.
They swam to the nearest beach and triton turned the soldier into a human. He gave a Ariel a sea blue dress to wear and he gave the soldier close that made him look like a prince. '" Now go, and keep her safe." Triton said as he turned and doave back into the sea." WE are to report to the nearest human kingdom, they have agreed to give us shelter untill we find your mother." Luke said as they walk to the Castle that looked over the ocean.
They where greeted with a celebration. The prince of the kingdom was gone on a trip, but his servants did as he had told them. Luke and Ariel had their own rooms and they were waited on hand and foot. Ariel looked out her bedroom window. She could see the sea ." Thank you daddy" she said as she blew a kiss to the sea. Ariel grew hungry so she started for the kitchen. When she was almost there she heard to servants talking. " what if they find out, what will we do,,, Triton will come looking for them if they do not report to him."
Ariel decided to keep walking. She found some cookies in a cookie jar so she eat a few and them she decided to go outside and sit on the swing that was hung from a large oak tree inside the castle gates. She sat down, but before she could make a move to swing. Some one grabbed her from behind and knocked her out. When she awoke she was back in her room.
Luke was there and he looked very angry. " You agreed to stay in your room so no harm would come to you.' Luke said as a strange ugly looking man came into the room. Luke turned and the Man knocked Luke out with one blow from his fist. " Ursula gives me great powers little mermaid, so do not try any thing." The man tried to grab Ariel , but she climbed out he window and she climbed down the castle wall. She found one of the castle guards and she told him what happened.
The guards caught the man as he tried climbing down the castle wall. He fell and the caught him and took him to the dungeon. Ariel followed the guards and stayed there while the guards questioned this man. " She is here, you fools and I am trying to get her out of here before they find out" the man said to the guards. Luke walked in and he grabbed Ariel.
They ran out of the castle and to the beach, soon they were at the oceans edge." What are you doing?" Ariel said as Luke pulled her into the water. " Your father said that when we got back into the waters of the ocean our tails will come back." Ariel's legs turned back into her beautiful mermaid tail and the soldiers legs turned back into also.
" Why are we doing this, why are we giving up." Ariel shouted at Luke as he pulled her to the palace. " Ariel, the guard, and the servants of that castle are in on it." Luke said as they reached the palace.
They met triton in the throne room. " Sire, the guards and the servants of the castle are in on it, Ursula has a minion on land also. " " The Prince of the castle is away on a trip, so he knows nothing of this deceit."
Triton hugged Ariel. You did well soldier. I did not know the situation was so dangerous. I will go myself and rid that castle of the minions of Ursula." Triton said as he swam to the surface and made his way to the beach near the castle.
Will Ariel get to see her mother, and what is Triton going to do at the human castle... find out next time in Chapter 6.

Ariel stared at her fathers throne. She then turned her head and swam to her grotto. Sun light cascaded through grotto and made ariel's tail glow. Ariel swam up to the top of her grotto. She then began to cry. Flounder then swam in from the top of the grotto. " Ariel, whats the matter?" Flounder asked as Ariel raised her head."I am afraid for my father". Ariel said as she sat down on a rock.
" Ariel, your father is the sea king, He will be ok". Ariel then smiled." Your right Flounder, my father will be alright, I just wish he would have let me go with him." Ariel said as she hugged flounder and then swam up to a picture of a tree." What was the land like?" Flounder ask as he swam closer to the Picture of the tree. " It was beautiful,it was like a dream." Ariel said as she twirled up ward.
" I can not wait to go up there again" Ariel said as she laid on the sandy see floor and looked up at the roof of the grotto. " What if you father never lets you go up there again?"Flounder said as he swam to Ariel." Then I will have to find anouther way to get there." Ariel said as she swam out of the grotto. Flounder fallowed and he then stopped. "You wouldn't go see Ursula right?"Flounder asked as he shiverd." deffinatley not, she is crazy." Ariel said as flounder swam up to her. They then swam back to the castle.
