For as longs as Mona could remember it had always been her, Kai, and Nevil. They were the powerfully dark trio of the Isle, and evil or not they’d always looked out for each other. Most people weren’t foolish enough to cross them but, if they were is wasn’t long before one of the three took care of the problem. They were like the brothers she never had, and she would do anything for them. Her mother was the psychotic vengeful killer, and from a young age, Cruela taught her daughter to hold people responsible for their actions to the fullest. So she’d grown up doing just that, unfortunately though, her methods for punishment tended to be rather violent.
In this case, she’d heard from Kai about Melody- and how he wanted to target her for her mother’s responsibility for his mother’s death. Mona didn’t have to talk to him to know that his mother’s death had a substantial effect on him. So as his best friend, she wanted that little brat Ariel and her family to pay almost as much as he did. She wanted anyone even remotely responsible for causing her friend pain to pay. It wasn’t long before she came up with a plan to do just that. It was no secret that Melody spent her afternoons swimming laps in the pool, so Mona decided to pay a visit to her there.
Melody had just finished her daily swim routine, and was sitting on the edge of the pool, bare feet tracing slow circles in the water. During the school year, the former mermaid was forced to remain in her human form as an agreement between her parents. The dark hair girl walked up to her then, mischievous smile pulling at her lips as her heels echoed against the concert. “Oh- Hi, I was just finishing up here.” Melody called out cheerfully, tucking a strand of red hair behind her ear as she smiled at the other girl. “No problem, I was actually looking for you. You see, your family caused a lot of pain to a friend of mine.” Mona began, walking slowly over to the redhead, hands in the pockets of her white fur coat. “Your mommy and daddy, killed a woman, just to secure their own little happy ending. That’s the only reason you’re here.”
The more the mermaid listened to the De Vile girl, the more confused she got. She had no idea why she seemed so angry or why she would be here to confront her about something that had nothing to do with her. Of everyone, Melody had always been one to try and sympathize with the Isle of the Lost kids and believe the best in them but, she was getting more nervous by the moment. As she spoke her last work, Mona leaned down to kneel beside her and Melody had a sinking feeling that this wasn’t going to end well. She’d heard enough about the De Vils, and their murderous tendencies to worry about her own safety. “I... My parents aren’t murders...”
A dark laugh passed Mona’s lips, her hand falling to Melody’s shoulder in a seemingly innocent way- not missing the way that the other girl jumped at the contact. A devilish smile pulled at her lips when seeing the reaction, seconds later using all of her force to push the unexpecting girl into the pool. Ignoring the girl’s gurgled gasp of shock, she grabbed two handfuls of red hair and held her underneath the water-- ignoring the desperate attempts at surfacing for air. Mona laughed dryly as she watched her fight desperately, “You know, this is quite ironic you know, the mermaid downing.” She pointed out, pulling up for air for less than a second only to plunge her back under. This went on for a few more times before she released her roughly into the water.
Melody surfaced sputtering and gasping for air, struggling to catch her breath as she weakly clung to the side of the pool and shook with shock. “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stay away from me because, next time you won’t be lucky enough to keep your life.”
