A Breeze Full of Storms
Hi Guys! Diamond Shyn is back for another Tangled fanfic.
I don't have much to say about it, except for: The story is set when Rapunzel was 11 years old.
NOTE: I DO NOT own Tangled. How I wish I owned!
Chapter 1: The Truth
It was a sunny morning, with the sound of chirping birds. A little girl, with approximately 45 feet long, silky blonde hair was mopping her house, in a 70 feet tower situated somewhere in the middle of the forest, hidden.
"Rapunzel!" an old lady who was called Gothel called out from her room.
"Yes mother!" the girl replied in her innocent voice as her name was spoken. She ran to the other side of the hall with a mop in her hands, towards her mother Gothel's room. In there was sitting a young lady with curly black hair, a pointy nose and a wicked look in her eyes. "Yes mother?' the girl asked.
"Oh dear" her mother said, "I wanted to tell you that my room has been getting a little dirty. See this? It has gathered so much dust." She pointed towards a window pane. "Yes mother, I'll clean it." Rapunzel said, and turned to go. But then, she thought of asking her mother a question, a question which was her dream, and had been in her heart since she was four year old child.
"Should I ask her? Or should I not?" she thought. She convinced her to leave the topic but remembered a sentence from one of the three books she owned:
"If you don't ask, the answer will always be no."
"Mother can I..." she said, afraid of what her mother might react on this.
"Oh c'mon flower what do you want to ask now?" Gothel said and stood up. "Mother I... I... want to see the... floating lights. Can we both-" Rapunzel managed speak in a hardly audible voice, but Gothel interrupted, "Slow down! We aren't going anywhere. Haven't I told you about how much horrible people down there are? Aren't you frightened of them?"
"Yes mother but I want to know what they are. I feel that they are meant for me. They are released on my birthday and the day is no near; just 3 days. Please mother, please!" Rapunzel said, trying to convince her mother to help her fulfill her dream.
"Rapunzel no! You are never leaving this tower!" Gothel screeched, and Rapunzel stepped forward, though she was scared and her legs were shivering.
"Mother please! Please! I'm just saying that we both can go just for one day..." Rapunzel begged. Gothel lost the control over her tongue and said, "Stop hassling me and hassle those whose daughter you are!" She realized after a moment what she had just said. "Oops!" came the whisper from her.
"What?" Rapunzel asked, "What did you just say?" Gothel put her arm on Rapunzel's shoulder and gabbled, "Oh my flower you know, I sometimes say what I should not say. Stop taking everything so seriously!" and managed to let out a fake laugh.
"No! Tell me the truth!" Rapunzel shouted, pushed her, and dropped the mop, "I want to know the truth!"
"Rapunzel can you even hear what you're saying?" Gothel's voice changed, "What is wrong with you?" "No mother what is wrong with you? Can't you tell me the truth? Please! I don't want the lanterns; just... just tell me who my parents are!" Rapunzel shrieked.
Gothel knew her time was up, but she didn't want Rapunzel to know that she was the princess of Corona. "I don't know" Gothel lied, "But I took you with me to protect you."
Rapunzel was a little shaken with the news that Gothel wasn't her real mother. "I don't think." She said and ran upstairs to her room and buried her face in her pillow to cry. "Couldn't have she told me the truth?" Rapunzel thought, "And she doesn't even know who my parents are. That's ridiculous! I want to run away! Wait, run away..."
She wiped her tears and rethought about her latest idea: to run away. "No I shouldn't! This will break her heart and I'm too young for this." She thought, but on the other hand, ideas were, "She broke my heart, and so can't I break hers? And I want freedom! I feel I'm stuck here." She kept her hand on her heart. "I need to go!" she whispered.
Late that night, when Gothel was sleeping, Rapunzel stepped out of her room with a satchel, which included a piece of bread, a black handkerchief and an apple. She entered Gothel's room to take her long black cape and wear it. "It's too long!" she thought and stuffed her hair in the lining of the cape. "Goodbye Mother." She whispered. She opened the main window; moon shone silver, and she stepped on the plane. "Here I go!" she said, hooked her hair on the hook and there she went, swinging with the hair, trying to control her happiness by not screaming "I'm so happy!" After her hair's length, she had to jump from such a height that she ended up on falling on her shoulder. But it didn't hurt much, because she fell on grass.
She touched the soft green grass, not knowing what it was. Then she realized that it was grass, as it resembled the picture of grass in her storybook. At last, she was set free to encounter the mysterious outside world, sail through the world, and then meet her real parents.
It all seemed just like it was a dream.
