They say that falling in love is just like going crazy. Like having fireworks go off inside you. For once everything seems perfect. And it is.
Every time I close my eyes I see her. Her bright green eyes. Her smile. And I know that if I open my eyes now she'll be lying next to me. I can feel her gentle breath, her fingers interlaced with mine. I wish I could stay like this forever.
It had been 5 months since i met Rapunzel. She was alone, stranded in a tower in the middle of nowhere. And she could see me. Nobody had every seen me before. I showed her the world. Slowly she started to tell me how she got in that tower. That her mother had told her that the world was evil. That her hair could heal the sick and injured. I thought about taking her back but I couldn't bring myself to. When she turned around and said she didn't want to go back I was over the moon. I knew she regretted her decision and I told her over and over that she could go back whenever she wanted but she never would.
I told her about the Guardians, about Pitch, and that one day going to come after us, that it was dangerous for her to stay but she still never left my side.
And know here she was, laying next to me. Peacefully sleeping. And I know that soon it will be morning, and she will wake up and I never know if she is going to leave me. I wish I could read her mind. I wish I could tell if she was unhappy being here with me but I can't.
I here a sinister laugh from the other side of the room. My eyes fly open. The room is still, quiet. I slowly pull away from Punzie, trying not to wake her and get up. We were staying with North at the moment. Otherwise known as Santa. He likes Punzie, just like everyone else. She had a way of getting people to like her. I looked down at her. She was beautiful. I tucked a piece of loose hair behind her ear and kissed her cheek gently. A smile spread across her face. Then I heard the laugh again. It was familiar but I didn't know where I had heard it from. It was like something from a nightmare.
I see my staff at the other side of the room. I get up and start to make my way to it.
Suddenly my side burned with excruciating pain. I grabbed at the pain as if that could stop it. My hand came away covered in black sand. The edges of my sight blurring I turned around, the man stood there looking at me.
"P...P...Pitch" I tried to say, it barely came out a whisper.
My eye sight started going black and pain coursing through my body. I fell to the ground on my good side and he pushed me onto my back with his foot. I lay there staring at him.
"It's over Jack." He laughed "And soon all the other Guardians will be gone as well There will be nothing left but fear, and darkness."
He slowly leaned down to my level so we were almost face to face.
"Don't worry Jack, I'll take good care of your little girlfriend."
I tried to yell, to get up and fight him, but this time not a sound came out. I could barely move.
Then, all I saw was black.
