Darla had been living in the Enchanted Forest for a few weeks now. It was terrible. The land smelled like rotting carcass everywhere she went. Captain Firebeard, or Casper, as he wanted her to call him, was a mean old drunk. She felt so controlled, so manipulated. She was forced to clean the decks of the ship for that dirty old man. He actually believed that he cared about her and loved her.
Either way, Darla was fed up with being a human. She wanted her tail back to escape to the Neversea to reunite herself with her pod. After all, she was their leader. She had traveled long enough with the man, seen too many places. Walking was terrible. Her feet ached, as she refused to wear shoes. In fact, she refused to do many things at this point.
Today, Darla was able to go for a walk alone. However, Captain Firebeard had put some spell on her preventing her from totally escaping his grasp. It was difficult being human...it was difficult being alive. Being forced to sleep next to that man every night for hundreds of years made her suffer far greater than she had ever imagined.
So, Darla walked in the woods. She was a few miles away from the Docks. It was midday, and the sun almost reached it's peak over the mountains. The sight was quite beautiful, but more beautiful if seen by the water.
Darla had wanted to be freed. But she was unaware of how to complete that feat. It had been told by her before that the only way to break her curse, was true love's kiss. But Darla didn't want to believe that was true. So she was on her way to see someone that could potentially help her with retrieving her tail again. A sorcerer by the name of Rumpelstiltskin.
As she reached his castle, she looked down. She was wearing a long, beautiful blue dress that hit the ground. Firebeard always wanted her to look her best. Darla saw a beautiful girl hanging up clothes at the back entrance to his castle. Cautiously, Darla walked up to her.
"You know, I don't believe you should have to do that for him. He can really do something so simple as hanging up laundry if he's really the most powerful sorcerer in the land. I'm Darla, former mermaid, current prisoner. I'm looking for Rumpelstiltskin."
