CAPTAIN: *packs up his things*

ERIK: *walks into his house* Going somewhere?

CAPTAIN: *eyes widen* I'm m-moving

ERIK: Why? *stalks towards him angrily*

CAPTAIN: Not much fish here

ERIK: Where you're going, you won't be needing fish.

CAPTAIN: What do you mean?

ERIK: Tell exactly what you did to MY daughter? *stalks towards him*

CAPTAIN: *gulps* I-I didn't do anything

ERIK: then why do you look so scared? *smirks evilly* I want to hear it from your own lips what you did to her.

CAPTAIN: I... I watched her as she grew and her body was so... So young and pure... So fruitful

ERIK: *eyes turn black with fury* She's five, you fiend from hell!

CAPTAIN: I needed it... So little... Think of the possibilities with a girl so little... You can't get her pregnant or do any damage

ERIK: Do...any...damage.... *grabs him by the neck and throws him against a wall* You damaged her permanently! Physically and emotionally! Not to mention, I understand humans run places just for the experiencing of such things. You didn't need to use your own daughter. *looks murderous*

CAPTAIN: But certainly you love laying your wife down for fun?

ERIK: my personal life is none of your business. Why didn't you just get a wife? *picks him up and hurls him against another wall*

CAPTAIN: *winces* It's livelier to have a sampling of all the women then choose

ERIK: How were you sampling if you kept to your daughter. It seems that is hardly checking everyone out.... *grabs him and throws him hard against the floor*

CAPTAIN: *coughs up blood and a tooth knocks out* Well when women were short she came into play

ERIK: And they call me a monster....*laughs* You're going to pay for every pleasure to sampled from your daughter with pure agony.

CAPTAIN: *cries*

ERIK: I might just have to cast a spell to keep you alive...you're weaker than I bargained for. *sneers* *grabs him roughly* You're coming below with me. And, when I'm done, I'll feed your body to the sharks. They always love freshly killed meat.

CAPTAIN: *sobs and begs for mercy*

ERIK: MERCY! *drags him out of his house and to the ocean* What mercy did you give your daughter? *growls*

Captain; I'm sure she e-enjoyed it!

ERIK: *laughs* Enjoyed it? I highly doubt it. All she feels in conjunction with it is shame. Tell me, how young did you start with her?

CAPTAIN: Two years old

ERIK: *drags them into the sea and changes into a mermaid and allows him to be able to breath underwater* Two.... *eyes burn with a deadly anger* You have three years to make up. Enjoy the agony... *drags him down towards the lair*

CAPTAIN: You're going to kill me!?

ERIK: yes...though I had thought it would be a little shorter when I first arrived at your house. But, I have changed my mind. Better it be longer. *drags him through the lair and towards another room*

CAPTAIN: Where are you taking me?

ERIK: A little room I created. It has made the strongest men claw at themselves in an attempt to bleed to death.

CAPTAIN: *shakes in fear*

ERIK: *opens it and leads him into a room covered completely in mirrors* Now, because of your likely hood to try to commit suicide before the ordeal is over...I best take precautions. *casts a spell that will keep him from being able to kill himself*

CAPTAIN: Wait!! One more thing...

ERIK: yes? Do you wish to add to your punishment?

CAPTAIN: No... I want to see Tina

ERIK: So that's why Val didn't want me to call her by that nickname. No, you may not see her. She only wants to see you dead.

CAPTAIN: That can't be true...

ERIK: She asked me if she could come with me to help me kill you. *smirks*

CAPTAIN: No... Not my Tina...

ERIK: she's not 'your Tina' any more. She doesn't belong to you. And, she hates you.

CAPTAIN: Then who's is she?

ERIK: She's my daughter.

CAPTAIN: She's rightfully mine

ERIK: You were privileged to have such a daughter and you abused said privilege. So, you lost it.

CAPTAIN: But you're a beast you can't have a daughter

ERIK: you are worse than a beast but you have one. *smirks* Would you like to see the beast? *gestures towards his face* It would only be proper that it be the last view you ever see.

CAPTAIN: *gulps*

ERIK: *removes the mask and smirks* See? Enjoy the last sight you'll ever see.

CAPTAIN: *gags* It's hideous!

ERIK: yes, it is. Was that part of the reason you abused Val? She has this on her neck? *gestures towards his face*

Captain; I never abused her! She had that when she was born

ERIK: you did abuse her. In the worst way possible. Physical wounds heal. Emotional...it takes years...if they ever do.

CAPTAIN: She is too young

ERIK: too young for what?

CAPTAIN: To be wounded from it

ERIK: no one is too young. *his eyes turn pained* I would know. She may not remember everything in perfect detail but she will remember what her father did to her.

CAPTAIN: At least give me an image of her

ERIK: *shows him a picture of her being held by Ariel*

CAPTAIN: *smiles* She's so happy...

ERIK: yes, she has been accepted as our princess.

CAPTAIN: *tears up*

ERIK: in fact, when the time comes, she'll marry a merman and become the queen. If my wife and I don't decide something else.

CAPTAIN: She's going to be so successful... And bright

ERIK: how could you do such things to her and still act as if you loved her?

CAPTAIN: I do love her

ERIK: You have the oddest way of expressing your love. It makes me wonder if my mother loved me! *laughs harshly*

CAPTAIN: Alright... I'm ready

ERIK: ready to die...? How pleasant. *walks to the door* Die slowly and painfully. *turns so he sees the deformed side of his face before walking out and closing the door*

CAPTAIN: *braces himself as much as possible*

ERIK: *turns on the room so the heat and light will drive him mad* *watches as the man dies in a horrific, painful way* *swims back to Ariel and Valentina, feeling very satisfied*

ARIEL: *holds Valentina close to her as she takes a nap in her lap* *sings a soft lullaby*

ERIK: *swims to see what Ariel and Val are doing*

VALENTINA: *is sleeping peacefully*

ERIK: *swims up to them* he has been dealt with...

ARIEL: Thank you

ERIK: she had expressed a wish to see him dying.

ARIEL: W-What?

ERIK: She wanted to see him in pain. I didn't wish her to see it.

ARIEL: Thank you... She's taking a nap now

ERIK: Yes, and when she wakes up I will tell her that her father is dead.

ARIEL: *sighs blissfully and strokes her orange hair*

ERIK: *sits down beside her* Is she alright?

ARIEL: Yes, just tired

ERIK: she's been through hell for so long. She deserves some rest.

ARIEL: I agree

ERIK: did she tell you what her father did? *strokes the sleeping girl's cheek*

ARIEL: *shakes her head* No

ERIK: he used her as man uses a woman. *whispers softly*

ARIEL: No... No that's wrong...

ERIK: its very wrong. That's he will receive, in full, an equal amount of pain for everything he did to her.

ARIEL: Good. *nods*

ERIK: I hope there will come a time where she can get over it.

ARIEL: I hope so too

ERIK: Perhaps it will only become a distant nightmare...

ARIEL: What if it haunts her forever?

ERIK: she'll never forget.

ARIEL: *a tear falls*

ERIK: *holds both of them close*

ARIEL: Erik? I had a thought

ERIK: What is it, my love?

ARIEL: Do you wanna do it tonight?

ERIK: Do what? *looks at her curiously*

ARIEL: you know... *smirks*

ERIK: *knits his eyebrows together for a moment* *blushes slightly as he realizes what she means*

ARIEL: *winks, smiling*

ERIK: *blushes a little more* *still looks confused* You want me? *asks bluntly*

ARIEL: Of course I do

ERIK: why? I'm not the kind of man most women want.

ARIEL: But you're my husband and a handsome one at that

ERIK: I'm not that handsome. I never actually expected that of you.

ARIEL: But you are...

ERIK: *touches his face* we shall never agree on my looks. But, if you want me, My Sea Angel, I'm yours.

ARIEL: *grins and lays soft kisses all over his face* *removes his mask and sets it down*

ERIK: where shall we put our daughter? *steals a quick kiss from her lips*

ARIEL: In her own room

ERIK: She doesn't have one.

ARIEL: Then we will make her one

ERIK: right now?

ARIEL: *nods*

ERIK: alright. *picks Val up and holds her gently so she'll stay asleep*

VALENTINA: *snores loudly*

ERIK: *laughs slightly and carries her into another room*

ARIEL: *waits for him*

ERIK: *settles her into a bed and hums softly to coax her into a deeper sleep*

VALENTINA: *sleeps deeper*

ERIK: *returns to his room* She won't wake.

ARIEL: *takes off her seashells*

ERIK: *admires her and pulls her into a deep kiss*

*they consummate the marriage*
