"Your not Ariel, are you?"
Me and my father back away. I don't know what's going on, but the woman just cackles. She waves away the ripple, and she looks dead into my eyes.
"No, I'm not." She says to no one in particular.
Her eyes start turning black, then she turns.. into me?
"Wha- how??"
"Hehehehehehe see! I can turn into anyone I want!"
"Why are you doing this?? We are trying to save the world!"
"Well you see I can't let you do that. This whole apocalypse thing has been planned for ages. If it doesn't come to course, I won't be able to get my full magic back from that wrench Ursula. Once she dies, I get to rule again!"
"Yes, but what will you rule if the giants destroy everything? And why do you have my mother?"
"I have your mother because she got in the way of my plan. Duh," she rolls her eyes, "If she were to help you, well that wouldn't get me my magic back now would it? Anyways to answer your question, I would make a bunch more people."
"That's not possible, people come from people. If everyone dies, how will you create more people?"
"Hmm never thought of that. I'll think about it once I get to that point. In the mean time, I'll show you my true form so you can get a glimpse of what's going to be your leader."
Her eyes start turning black and she becomes a beautiful middle aged woman. With long silky black hair covered in jewels, blue sea eyes, glowing white skin, long acrylic nails, she looks like a goddess. Her outfit is even more sensational: a long white dress with lace on the bottom half. But what's even more stunning is her glass slippers with butterflies on the heels.
My father still has the same shocked look on his face, so I ask him, "What's wrong? Who is she?"
My father looks down at me and says, "Her name is Ella, and we are in huge trouble."
"Ella? As in Cinderella? What happened to her! She doesn't look kind.."
"HEY!!! I'm right here bird bag, and why does everyone say that??" She pouts again as she sits on the bench.
"Dad, what do we do? She is obviously not going to show us where mom is."
"Then we will find her."

Cinderella's Story
After marrying The Prince, Cinderella was living the life. Maids at her beck and call, everyone worshipped her ground, it was lit! But then, The Prince and her child were slaughtered by no other than Ursula. Ella was devastated, so she made a deal with Ursula. She would give Ursula half of her secret powers if Ursula brought The Prince and her three year old girl back to life. Ursula agreed, but never restored the Prince and her daughter. Ella snapped. She was tired of being walked on, and she turned evil. She started acting out, making bad decisions, until they kicked her off the throne. Her stepmother disowned her, so she was on the streets. She was walking one day when she found an ocean. She stopped for a drink, when the Titans (the older versions of the Giants) came up to Ella in an earthly form. They told Ella that they too had been tricked by Ursula, and they wanted to team up. So Ella agreed, and that was the day the Bill of Justice was made. The Bill of Justice stated that on the first Full Blood Moon, their descendants would come up and destroy the land, with Ursula in it. In return they gave Ella immunity, so she would never die or grow old. Ella would finally get justice.
