Pandor's box, you'd expect some glowing box with carvings on it that said a secret message or something. 

Well no, it's just a small box, with carved dishes. 

I found it that night when I couldn't sleep. 

I was swimming aimlessly n the deep depths of the water. Once I touched the bottom I started up my firepower, the aura from the flames lit up a small area I was looking in. 

I nearly caught the box on fire, but thank god that not possible since it's underwater. I got it in my not fire holding hand and swam back towards the cave. 

I didn't end up sleeping the rest of the night. But when the crew woke up I told them today is the day, no resting until we find my sister, now that we have the box, we're all set.

As we swam, Barry and I swam up front, Scott, and Liam not to far behind.  

When the water started getting extremely cold we started swimming closer together and I lit my fire, which helped. No matter how cold it got we kept moving, I can't give up now.

"What's the plan? When we find her...." Liam asks me nervously.

"I want to try to use the element of surprise, so don't attack straight away, if we can get the demon in the box without a fight then that would be best" I inform the others. The nod, agreeing to my plan. 

"But if we do have to fight then I will try to use my fire, maybe since she's been in the cold for so long heat will weaken her" I wonder. 

Soon later the water became so cold even Barry was having trouble swimming at a good speed. 

"She must be near" Scott says to us. I think I see something out of the corner of my eye but when I turn, I see nothing. I sigh and continue. 

Help me..... Please...

A girls voice fills my head as I make a hard stop. 

"Hello?" I ask aloud, the group gives me weird stares. 

Save me....

the voice gets cut off.

"no..." I mumble under my breath as I move my tail and swim forward. 

I can sense her now, she's here...

"Keep an eye out, and stay quite," I tell them as we move forward. 

It's funny cause you'd think an evil water Demon would hide in a cave or a wrecked ship? Nope, apparently it hides right in the middle of nowhere, so if there is a fight there will be no places to hide and no cover. 

Then a deep and menacing laugh erupts from behind us. 

We all snap at the sound, but there's nothing behind us. 

"Well look what we have here" The female voice booms.

A dark shadow appears and swirls around Barry. "A speedster...." She says. 

Then it moves to Liam. "A werewolf with anger issues...." She continues. 

"Ah And a true Alpha! We have a rare one here" She says in delight. 

"And Stiles, the only true merman here. wouldn't it be a tragity if these fake mermen lost their tails?" She asks curiously. The smoke stops infront of me and forms a mermaid. Soon it becomes one, long brown hair, dark black tail, pure black eyes, pale skin, thin figure. 

In the blink of an eye, my 3 friends are tailless and 2 legs replace their tails. I gasp as I realize she took their powers, well their merman powers. 

"Stop.... Let them go! This isn't their fight..." I snarl at her. "Oh but yes it is. You! Give me the box and I'll give them their tails back..... maybe" She says as her voice trails off. 

I push past her and see my drowning friends. 

"Don't do it...." Barry mouths. 

I turn to Scott. "Tell Allison I love her" His voice comes out as a light whimper. 

When I turn to Liam his body is already unconscious. 

"You want this? Take it, just please don't let them die" I beg as I reach my arm out, Pandora's box in hand, towards her.  "Whatever" She says as she reaches for it. 

At the last possible moment I open it, a blinding light shines from inside the box, causing me to close my eyes. 

she lets out a banshee scream as she covers her eyes with her hands. 

When the light stopped my vision was so blurry I wouldn't tell what had happened. 

When I can see again I see her.... My sister. Floating lifeless in front of me. Her raven black tail now a bluey purple. Her dark hair had a little more colour to it, and her skin was no longer that pale....

I spun around and saw my friends on the sandy bottom of the ocean, tails and all, I watched as little air bubbles escaped their partly open mouths, indicating that they were breathing. 

I took a deep breath of relief as I sat at the bottom of the ocean, on a stern and stubborn rock. 

My eyes burst open at the feeling of arms around my body. I looked around and noticed I was in a cave, I was dry, and my sister was hugging me. 

"H-Hey.... How are you doing sis?" I ask her in a warm voice. She looks up at me, revealing her ocean blue eyes. I stare at them for so long I almost notice a tint of purple in them. 

"Good, I am good" She says, her voice is quiet but tired. 

"W-Where are the others?" I ask in my normal voice as she puts her finger over her lips. "Shhh, they're sleeping" She says to me as I notice them on the floor beside us. 

We sat there for a moment in silence. "Where do we start, as strangers?" I ask her in a confused tone. She shrugs. "I guess so" She agrees. "Maybe we can act like we just met at a grocery store or something"I give her a smile as she looks at me with confusion. "Grocery store? What is that..." She asks me. "Ohhhh" I say as I realize that she's been trapped underwater her whole life. "Well a grocery store is a place where they sell things, food, drinks, stuff like that" I tell her. She nods, indicating she understands. We sat in silence again....

I'm awkward....

her voice fills my head. 

I turn my eyes towards hers. "Oh sorry, did you hear that? My telepathy has been so off lately...." She says to herself. "your what?" I ask her. "My telepathy, when someone can read your mind and send you mind messages. Snow gave me these abilities so she could communicate to the child's mind when she possessed my body" She says. Everything was swirling around in my head. 

"How did you learn to talk if it was always Snow? If that's her name if she was the one doing the talking. "Well when she gave me telepathy she could talk to me through her mind, she raised me... sort of. She allowed me to access her memories and from there I learned everything" She tries to sum it up. "So if you read my mind..... You'd learn what it's like to be on land?" I ask her curiously. "More or less" She says as she sits up and faces me. I sit up straight as she moves her hands towards my temples. 

This will feel weird

She confirms before it all goes black....

I can feel her accessing my memories, I can see what she see's. 

I see her looking through my younger years, memories pass by me, when I first met Scott, all the mermaid stories I was told as a child, then it zooms forward to the first days of high school, then to when Scott got bit, and everything.....

=•Third Person•= 

She feels his emotions from each memory she visits. 

The nervousness of Stiles on the first moon with Scott being a werewolf.The feelings of having a crush on Lydia Martin. The joy of getting a girlfriend. Then the sadness of the death of Allison's death which was on his hands. So much sadness and anger all built up over the years...

Her eyes started to tear up as she was brought back to reality. 

Stiles gave her a concerned look as tears fell from her cheeks. "So much sadness" She breaths. "Yeah.... I should have warned you" Stiles says to her (I took this scene from a movie, can anyone guess which one?)
