Disclaimer: I dont own a THING! ): sadly.
Just so you know people, I dont speak english! So please be nice, any constructivism is all right! (its not that i dont like criticizm), try to understand this is not my language. So it is a little bit difficult. (: but I promise im trying my best.
I woke up early that day, I didn't need and alarm to woke me up, I was way too nervous to even sleep that much. I rolled out of bed and decided what to wear. In the end I choose Jeans with a purple blouse, as all my blouses, it had buttons on the front. Cause if they were normal blouses, my hair would represent a trouble. Just try to imagine it…
I looked at me in my mirror. I thought I was about to die laughing. I started to dance all across my room. Then I had to stop otherwise I was going to wake up my brother and sister. Jesus… they are going to be mad, it was four o'clock and I was ready to go to school. I sat down in my comfortable bed. Maybe mother was awake, but truth be told. I was scared of her.
I have live with my Mother and my Brother and Sister since. Forever. Living like this make me thing Im not that normal. But anyway I will never know! I can't compare myself to other girls my age. And that's… kind of difficult to explain. But I will try my best. My hair is special, I am special, when I sing a certain song… my hair starts glowing, and whoever is hurt, suddenly is healed. With my hair I can prevent people from any injury, from getting sick, and most important I can stop the death. Yes,I can challenge death. I was born this way.
So when my brother and sister where outside the house playing. I was inside in my attic room. Mother had told me my hair was too precious to let people used it as they wished. So that's why I was always inside the house. Alice has always been good with me. Gabriel has always been the perfect brother for me, he's twenty one and he decided to study medicine. That's why we had to move, we used to leave near the camp, in a huge house where I had a lot of room to myself. The walls were painted by me, and sometimes just sometimes, mother will agree with going outside to play in the garden.
If someone came to my house, I will say hi and then disappear as soon as possible, Mother was always telling me that the world was a dangerous place and I believe that, I really do, people was going to try to steal my hair, to cut it! But one day when I turned fourteen, I realized the world couldn't be that bad. If Gabriel and Alice were capable of living in it I was capable too do it too, but It took me three years to finally affront my mother. Gabriel supporter me as well as Alice, but I was too afraid.
"What if she says no?" I asked terrified at Gabriel. My brother had amazing blue eyes and dark hair, just like my mother, he was tall, and to be honest, he was handsome… at least with the boys I have seen through the window.
"She has to agree, you don't have to worry about it!" Alice was looking at herself in the mirror, then she suddenly turned to meet my eyes. "Rapunzel, sweetie, I'm going to fight for your freedom, you can't wait here the rest of your life!"
The black hair of my sister was into a pony tail, she was a year older than me and she was beautiful, more than me I can tell. She had an amazing body just like mother and to be honest I was a little bit jealous of her. However, she came and hugged me.
"You can't wait here for your prince charming…"She said looking at me like she was my mother.
"You know, Al, she's not going to die or something…"Gabriel laughed behind me, he was lying across my bed. "But what she said is true, lil'Sis, you can't spend the rest of your life here, and that is ending tonight."
I smiled weakly in his direction.
"I don't know how are you going to do this, but I guess I appreciate it."
"Honey, you are turning eighteen in three months! And most important school starts in one month! You are hold enough to go to school, and mother has to accept it."
Gabriel sat on the bed, and I sat beside him and hugged my legs. Gabriel nodded to my sister.
"She's, right, I don't care what she says, you are going to school this year."
We reminded in silence as Alice lied on bed in our feet.
"What about my hair?" I said in a low voice.
"There's nothing wrong about your hair, actually is something good! If people could just know how this works!" Gabriel said petting my loooooooooong hair, that was distributed around my room, Gabriel and Alice had always found it normal and so did my mother. Our mother.
Gothel. She was an old lady, and when she had me, she said to me she found weird the fact that I had blond hair. And one day, while she was singing a song she heard somewhere, my hair started to glow and suddenly she was young again. She looked so young and pretty... Now every three days mom came to my room so I could sing to her, and voualla! She was young again, my brother and sister found that very… weird? But they didn't complain about it. I think we are used to it.
"We are going to convince her!" Alice clapped, suddenly to happy about it. "There are a lot of things you haven't seen, taste or enjoy! Can you imagine?"
Gabriel suddenly sat up with shining eyes looking at me.
"I'm going to take you to the movie theater! You are going to love it!"
"What about ballet? It's amazing, I think you could do as a Ballet dancer-"
"What about painting? I'm going to take you to the museum and I'm going to buy to lots of brushes and those things!" Gabriel continued.
"-and they are pretty, just like you. It's going to be amazing, and school! I found school very tedious but you are going to love every second." Alice said with a smirk.
"I found school actually very attractive."Gabriel said smiling to me.
"That's because you are studying medicine, so yes, it's interesting, but me? I'm repeating the year!"Alice said with a mock. She's repeating because when we moved to support Gabriel's career, she had to lose her year. However those six months we spend together were the most amazing months I had spent in my whole life. We were more united as ever. I smiled and started clapping.
"You are right! I can do this, I'm going to ask her! I want everything! I want to see the world, taste the world, I want to go everywhere with you guys! I want… I want…-" I rose up in my bed and started clapping, I jumped out and started twirling around the floor, and then I was tangled up in my own long hair and tripped over, my brothers laughed.
"you want to live, I get it." Gabriel said as he came to help me. Once I was on my feet I giggled. Gabriel and Alice looked at eachother and then back at me.
"What?"
"First of all, we have to do something about your hair, it's… long…"Alice said with a mock, then she acted like she wanted to hit herself. "Of course it is, but you can't go to school like this…"
I nodded, if she said that, she was right.
"But you can't cut it!" I said with horror. "That is going to kill mother!"
Both of them agreed and suddenly Alice brought a chair that was nearby.
"Sit, we have an idea, is going to take a little while… but, I think is going to work" She demanded. I nodded and obeyed.
Half an hour later they had done a braid with my long and blond hair. I smiled, I had never do that in my entire life! And I felt so… different! I run to the mirror… without tripping!
"You look beautiful."Gabriel said with a smile besides me. "With that you are not going to have problems at school."
I couldn't be happier! We sat in the floor talking about whatever crossed our minds, in the end I was dancing all over the floor, not tripping over my hair. Gabriel and Alice where happy for me, I could tell. Then I turned to see them, horrified.
"but… but… your did this in half an hour! I have to bath!" I said as my smile failed away. Alice spoke first.
"We will take turns, we have practiced… well with my hair at least. And I can make it alone in half an hour, Gabriel a little bit more-"
"I'm improving, you know? Don't be mean!"
"-but he's doing fine. Every day, before you go to school, some of us will make your hair into a braid."
I was stunned, I couldn't breathe. They were going to wake up half an hour sooner every day, just because they wanted me to go to school. I couldn't move for like it seemed years. Then Alice stood up.
"Why are you crying?" I didn't even notice I was. I hugged her and started crying as like my life depended on it.
"Now… she's freaking me out." I hear Gabriel said. I managed to stop and smile.
"it's just… is just im… to happy, you are going to do that, for me?"
Gabriel sighed like if I was saying something stupid.
" Of course we are!" He said moving his hands. "You are my sister, and I don't care about getting up a little earlier once in a while!"
Alice nodded in response.
"You had been here your whole life, years, to be exact seventeen. So why I would care about those minutes? Anyway, you look pretty with a braid, and you are blond with green eyes, every girl is going to be jealous of you."
We shared a minute of silence as I wiped my tears; Gabriel approached and gave me a friendly hug.
"Now, we just have to wait for mom to come, and then I'm talking to her."
"Gabriel, I have decided, I want to tell her myself. You can be there too, but I want to tell her, it's my life, and I want to do it." I said with a decided tone.
Both of them smiled in my direction and noddded.
"We will be there, to stop mom if she tries to hit you or something" He joked. "in the end she has to agree. I have an argument she just cant refuse."
"Yeah, what is that?"
"Oh, you'll see, you'll see…"
"Rapunzeeeeeeeeeeeeel!" Mother sang when I was watching the roof in my bed, a second later mother was in the door. She looked young as always, with dark hair in curls and soft skin. I sat up and said hi, suddenly I was to scare to do something, to even move. She was going to kill me, I was sure of it.
"Come sweetie, I'm feeling tired today, can you sing to me?"She said as she stared herself in the mirror, then she looked at me "Oh! This is new, who did this?" She said interested for a second in my braid. "You sister, I believe." She lost interest and kept watching at herself.
"Mom, I –"
"Rapunzel, please, I'm feeling tired, I can listen whatever you have to say, after we are done with this, honey." She sat beside me and started to rub my back. In that second Gabriel was in the room with some popcorn, yeah popcorn! As Alice approached to kiss mom on the head.
"Hi, mom." Both of them said with a smile and then started talking to each other. Mom sighed.
"Hello" She sang again. "How are you my little Rapunzel was about to sing, so if you could just wait a minute, Alice, I'll be right back to you, now sweetie, please sing to mom."
I opened my mouth but the stares of Alice and Gabriel were stronger… I watched mom, then my brothers, then again back at mom.
Im so dead!
They sighed in defeat as I started singing. However, they both felt good when I sang, It was actually quite a sight to see me, with my hair glowing, now my braid was glowing and then I stopped singing as the song came to the end. Mother smiled in relief.
Both my brothers clapped.
"Every time is like the first time, I just can't wait till mother needs you again!" Gabriel said with a laugh, Alice hit him on the arm.
"Shut up, but yes, sister, you have a talent here I-"Then she stopped, she was about to say 'I would be worried if one day your hair was missed, or cut!' then she looked at mom. "Mom, Rapunzel told us she wants to tell you something."
Mother sighed.
"What is it Rapunzel, I already told you I'm not buying you a horse, and I already told you-"
"Mom, is something I have been thinking about… and I think… that is time for you to know."
She waited as I watched Gabriel and Alice making moves behind her back in order to encourage me, I almost laughed.
"What is it, Rapunzel? I have things to do besides being here…"
I inspired and then I screamed out.
"Iwanttogotoseetheworld!" I said in a hurry, I waited for her to talk. Gabriel hit his face with the hand that was not holding the popcorn.
"You what?"Mother said in the confusion. "I heard you wrong, right?" She started laughing as I didn't know what to say. "You... did you just said you want to go to see the world?"
"That's exactly what I said…"
Alice, Gabriel and me stopped breathing.
"You are kidding, right? Rapunzel, I have told you thousands of times, why you are safe here, why you can't go out, why-"
"I know mom! But I'm turning eighteen in two months! And I have spent my whole life in just… just four walls! I want to taste this world, see what's going on out there. And not just watch it in the TV, or in books! It's not enough! Its never enough! I'm just… asking for this mom, and I will never ask for something in my entire life." I begged, I knew I was about to cry. "I want to go to school this year!"
I stopped talking as Alice and Grabiel waited for Mom to talk.
"Rapunzel!"She screamed. "You know why you are here, and there's no other way, and listen to me, no way you are going to school!"
In that second something terrible happened, well at least I thought about it in that way.
"Let her go to school Mom…" Gabriel said with a hard tone. "She's eighteen for god's sake!"
"Gabriel, your sister has magical hair, people out there would give everything to have her, to kill her!" She said horrified.
Maybe this was a bad idea.
"Let her go." He said.
My mother looked furious and Alice was just standing there, with a face that said 'what the hell is going on?'
"Gabriel!"
In that second my brother pulled out a knife and a second later he was behind my back. I couldn't move, I wasn't even able to breathe… he… was going to kill me?Alice and Gotherl looked at us terrified.
"GABRIEL! What the hell is wrong with you? You are going to hurt her!"Alice screamed in his direction. I tried to look at my brother.
Oh.
"No, I'm not going to hurt her." Silence over the room "I'm going to cut her hair."
Silence reminded.
"Mom, you have lived your life, Rapunzel is about to start, if I have too, I will, and you over all people know why."
What was he talking about? Alice was just waiting for a reaction, I was about to give in when Gothel accepted.
"Gabriel, im your mother! You wont-"
"I will!"
"You will what?" Alice said exasperated. I looked at my brother face, he had a face that said 'Try me'…it wasn't a good face, finally I heard those amazing words that I have been waiting to appear all my life.
"Put that down, in this second Gabriel." I heard my mom saying and then. "Rapunzel, all I wanted for y was a good life, away from pain… but, I think your brother here loves your enough to face me. So when life doesn't turn out as good as you think, don't come crying for comfort."
She has furious, I could notice, but she managed it very well, she did one las thing, she looked at Alice.
"From now on, you will be in charge of her school issues, like homework and clothes. If anythings goes wrong, if anything happens to her" She looked at both of them, Gabriel had the knife still close to my hair, close enough to cut it in one second, she opened her bright eyes in my direction, freaking for a moment, she was dissapotined I could see that "Im not the one to blame."
And with that she left the room, a minute passed, where we only looked at eachother and then Alice talked.
"GABRIEL! What the eff is with you?"
"What the eff?"
"Sorry if I'm a little bit shocked! You were trying to cut her hair!" She said in his direction.
"Alice, he wasn't going to do it" I smiled and then I frowned."Right?"
"Course not dummy!" Gabriel said. "But it was the only way, but guess what?"
"What?" Alice said exasperated. "You are an idiot you know? I almost fainted and-"
"You are going to school!"
Right...
Oh
my
god!
RIGHT!
I started jumping and twirling around the room and in the end I hugged them both, laughing my heart out.
"I cant WAIT! Im-going-to-school!"
Alice laughed and then petted my hair.
"Now we will have to get you some books, and a schedule, and the inscription!"
"Schedule? That means I'm going to be busy?"
Gabriel laughed, still eating popcorns.
"Yeah, like a lot."
"And you are going to meet boys!" Alice said clapping. That was not a big deal.
Gabriel frowned, looked at me up and down and then said:
"Shit. I should have thought of it earlier."
Hope you like it. Yes! I wanted her to have a brother and sister! How? You will later find out how and why (:
Review if you feel like! you will make this girl a little happier ;)
