The Little Mermaids Voice-The Little Mermaid

Amber

I enter the ballroom, feeling a rush of excitement. The air is alive with laughter and music, and the decorations take my breath away. I glide through the crowd, sensing the curious gazes of masked strangers on my gown. My eyes wander, looking for him. The man who makes me feel a pull I can’t resist.

I spend some time talking to some strangers, and enjoying a glass of champagne, which is wonderful, by the way. All the men look a lot alike, all stunning in their tuxedos and masks. I finally notice one that stands out, in a white tuxedo that fits his muscular body perfectly. My Beau.

I start to make my way over to him when I feel a tap on my shoulder. A young man in a black suit stands before me, his mask sparkling with a green stone. He flashes me a charming smile and says, “Hello, beautiful. May I have this dance?”

I shake my head and point to the green ribbon around my wrist. “I’m already spoken for.”

He doesn’t seem to care. “He’s a lucky guy. But I don’t see a ring on your finger, so it must not be that serious. What’s your name?”

I give him a fake name, hoping he’ll leave me alone but wanting to be polite. “Ashley. And yours?”

He grins and firmly grasps my arm, leaning closer. In a hushed whisper, he says, ‘You’ll find out soon enough.”

I shiver, feeling his breath on my neck.

“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. I’ve been watching you, and honestly, I think I want you to be my chosen one.“ His words come out in a rush; his arrogant confidence in his voice.

I try to push him away, but he holds me tighter. Before I can scream, I feel another hand on me, breaking the grip the man had on my arm.

I turn around and see a man wearing a white tuxedo and a mask with a red stone. My heart leaps as I know it is Beau, and even with his mask on, I can see he is angry.

Beau shoots a harsh look at the guy, and I’m left standing there, clueless about their conversation. The tension in the air makes me feel uneasy and vulnerable. Out of nowhere, the man pushes Beau, causing him to stumble. Panic washes over me, and I quickly reach out to steady him, fearing he might fall or lash out in anger. But before things escalate further, the ballroom falls silent, all eyes drawn to the stage as the sound of trumpets resonates through the hall.

A man in a red coat and mask steps forward, holding a microphone.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” he begins, his voice carrying through the hushed crowd. “Thank you for joining us tonight. Now, it’s time for the moment you’ve all been waiting for. When you hear the final chime of the clock, please remove your masks, and reveal your identities to your chosen partners.” He pauses, allowing the suspense to linger, savoring the moment.
