Ursula


Looking in the mirror seeing this ugly purple creature.

Many ask how I have gotten here,

well, here's my story;

I used to be the most beautiful mermaid in the whole ocean.

I used to have long beautiful black hair, dreamy blue eyes, and the perfect smile.

I used to be the one everyone wished they could look like and be until,

my youngest sister, Athena, was born when I was 12.

Everyone loved her more than me!

She was smart, funny, kind, and beautiful.

Everyone said I had a cold heart and that heart grew colder and colder everyday.

She grew warmer and more love able everyday.

This went on for years and everyone wanted to marry her.

Even King Triton!

 Well Queen Athena was being loved by all and had 7 daughters, I was learning.

After my sisters wedding I met an old sea witch and she saw lots of potential and beauty in everything that I am.

For years I would trick young men from land into the water to be with me and then trap them for my old sea witch.

We would've gotten away with it if I didn't make that one mistake.

I got a little cocky one day and when I was picking my next victim it was the caption of this pirate ship.

He got distracted by me and hit Queen Athena.

I went into hiding for 2 years until King Triton found me hiding.

Right away he found the old witch and killed her and then I was next on his list.

I wish when he found me he would've killed me then and there.

He said "killing you isn't enough of a punishment."

He then turned me into this ugly sea creature!

I've been watching over him and his daughters.

I think I'll be able to use his youngest daughter to get my revenge!
