The Little Mermaid's Sister

My sister had this idea, so she and I will work together on this. She insisted that I put it on here so we could see if other people liked it. This is just an experiment, so it may be different from my other works. Well, I think that's all, so I hope you enjoy it! 

oh wait...

IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE ORIGINAL LITTLE MERMAID, PLEASE READ BELOW. If you HAVE read it, just skip ahead. :)

P.S-  I GOT THIS SUMMARY FROM WIKIPEDIA, AND DO NOT CLAIM THIS SUMMARY AS MINE IN ANY WAY. 

The Little Mermaid lives in an underwater kingdom with her father the sea king; her grandmother; and her five elder sisters, each born one year apart. When a mermaid turns 15, she is allowed to swim to the surface to watch the world above, and as the sisters become old enough, one of them visits the surface every year. As each of them returns, the Little Mermaid listens longingly to their various descriptions of the surface and of human beings.

When the Little Mermaid's turn comes, she ventures to the surface, sees a ship with a handsome prince, and falls in love with him from a distance. A great storm hits, and the Little Mermaid saves the prince from a near-drowning. She delivers him unconscious to the shore near a temple. Here she waits until a young girl from the temple finds him. The prince never sees the Little Mermaid.

The Little Mermaid asks her grandmother whether humans can live forever if they do not drown. The grandmother explains that humans have a much shorter lifespan than merfolk's 300 years, but that when mermaids die they turn to sea foam and cease to exist, while humans have an eternal soul that lives on in Heaven. The Little Mermaid, longing for the prince and an eternal soul, eventually visits the Sea Witch, who sells her a potion that gives her legs, in exchange for her tongue (as the Little Mermaid has the most intoxicating voice in the world). The Sea Witch warns, however, that once she becomes a human, she will never be able to return to the sea. Drinking the potion will make her feel as if a sword is being passed through her, yet when she recovers she will have two beautiful legs, and will be able to dance like no human has ever danced before. However, it will constantly feel like she is walking on sharp swords, and her feet will bleed most terribly. In addition, she will only get a soul if she finds true love's kiss and if the prince loves her and marries her, for then a part of his soul will flow into her. Otherwise, at dawn on the first day after he marries another woman, the Little Mermaid will die brokenhearted and disintegrate into sea foam.

The Little Mermaid drinks the potion and meets the prince, who is attracted to her beauty and grace even though she is mute. Most of all he likes to see her dance, and she dances for him despite her excruciating pain. When the prince's father orders his son to marry the neighboring king's daughter, the prince tells the Little Mermaid he will not, because he does not love the princess. He goes on to say he can only love the young woman from the temple, who he believes rescued him, but adds that the Little Mermaid is beginning to take the temple girl's place in his heart. It turns out that the princess is the temple girl, who had been sent to the temple to be educated. The prince loves her and the wedding is announced.

The prince and princess marry, and the Little Mermaid's heart breaks. She thinks of all that she has given up and of all the pain she has suffered. She despairs, thinking of the death that awaits her, but before dawn, her sisters bring her a knife that the Sea Witch has given them in exchange for their long hair. If the Little Mermaid slays the prince with the knife and lets his blood drip on her feet, she will become a mermaid again, all her suffering will end and she will live out her full life.

The Little Mermaid cannot bring herself to kill the sleeping prince lying with his bride and, as dawn breaks, throws herself into the sea.

The Little Mermaid's Sister

Prologue

Sirena woke up in a cold sweat, the dream she had been having every night since her sister left haunted her memory and refused to leave her alone. It always started happy, but her sister soon got lost in a mist and Sirena couldn't find her anymore.

 She heard the voice of a man-then she realized it was the man her sister had left her home for. After waking up, she cried for her loss and could not understand how her own sister could go against her kind for a human only to end up as bubbles. 

Sirena was the second youngest mermaid, born only a year before the youngest-  Kiandra, who turned into a human to see if the prince would fall in love with her. Kiandra failed in the task, letting a human girl marry the prince so that she turned into bubbles.

Sirena had even cut off her hair to let Kiandra kill the prince and come back, but her foolish sister had only thrown herself into the sea and let the prince live.

She had but one wish- for her beloved sister to return to the sea, though she knew it was impossible. The Sea King had also not been the same since then, he had become more strict on the rules of the sea, including forbidding any mermaid to go to the surface and spent most of his time in his study. Life in the sea was worse than ever and she wanted revenge.

Staring out her window of the castle of coral, she stared at the fish swimming by. She only became angrier and angrier that prince-boy ruined her family, and he probably didn't even know it.

Sirena finally decided that she would go to the surface and take the her revenge.
