Hello my people! Well I'm officially back on the site. I had two other stories on here but I took them down because well frankly I was very self-conscious about my writing abilities. So lately I've been seeing lots of Jack and Rapunzel. I have been LOVING these stories so far. I've decided to start my own and hopefully I won't get self-conscious with this story. Well everyone enjoy my first chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Jack Frost nor Rapunzel. I merely own the plot of this story.
Jumping out of bed I decided I needed to have everything in order before mother arrived. I needed to have everything spotless before I could even begin to ask her to let me see the floating lights. Every year on my birthday I see these floating lights. My birthday is coming up in a few days so maybe this year I can finally go see them in person.
"Pascal we need to hurry and clean before Mother gets home! "Hurriedly I started cleaning every nook and cranny. Everything needed to be perfect.
After a few hours of cleaning I finished everything. Not too long after I heard Mother yelling for me.
"Rapunzel dear! Let down your hair!'' Running to the window I hooked my hair onto the hook and let my long blonde locks out the window. Pulling my mother up as soon as I felt her tug on my hair. "Oh darling I don't know how you do it pulling me up constantly.'' She said as soon as she stepped foot into our home. "Well it's nothing really Mother.'' I replied.
"Well then you should be able to do it quicker by now.'' Slowly I was losing my courage to ask her what I've been dying to ask her for a while now. "Just teasing dear. Don't look so glum.'' She said after noticing my smile falter a little.
"So mother I've been meaning to ask you something. Every year on my birthday I see these floating lights. I thought they were stars at first but you see I've charted stars and these aren't it.'' to prove my point I tugged on my hair to pull out a display in which all the starts I've charted are on. "So I was…uhm…wondering if maybe… this year I can… ah go and see them?'' I quietly mumbled out.
Mother walked into the kitchen seeming to be fixing herself a sandwich. "Rapunzel you know how I feel about the mumbling.'' She bit out. I flinched slightly at her harsh tone. Breathing in deeply working up my courage.
"I want to go see the floating lights on my birthday.'' A barking laugh was what came out of my mother's mouth. "You can't be serious Rapunzel. The outside world is much too dangerous for an innocent girl such as yourself." She walked around me heading towards the stairs which took her from the kitchen to my bedroom,
"But Mother I really want to go see them! I've dreamed about going every year. I promise to just go see the floating lights and come back straight home. I'll avoid everyone I swear! Just please! I want to go so badly mother." Suddenly I felt a sting on my face. I looked up to see my mother had slapped me across the face. The look of pure rage was sketched on her face. I have never seen her this enraged in my entire life before.
"I told you once Rapunzel. The answer is no. I don't want to be the bad guy here, but it seems to me that's how it's going to be if you keep on insisting with this foolish idea of yours." Touching my cheek I gulped and nodded my head. This was going to be harder than I originally thought. I slowly walked to my bed. Mother came to sit with me on my bed and placed her hand on my shoulder.
"Well why don't you sing for me now Rapunzel I'm quite tired and would like to hear you sing.'' She said to me while I reached for the stool and brush. I sat down in front of her while she brushed my hair.
Flower gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what once was mine
Change the fate's design
Save what had been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
My hair glowed with the song as my mother brushed my hair. I turned to look at her hopefully.
''Maybe this year for my birthday can you possibly get me some of the fabric you got last time? I'd like to make you a dress from it Mother.'' I asked her with a slight pout on my lips.
''Dear that's a whole week worth of walking…but if that's what you want I'll leave immediately. I love you Rapunzel.'' She hugged me awkwardly and looked at me expectantly.
''And I love you too Mother."
After she left I was left to look out the window without anything to do. Looking to Pascal sadly I just sighed.
''Pascal I really wanted to go and see the lights this year.'' Pascal just shrugged and climbed onto my shoulder. Sighing once again I stared into the woods. Seeing something white I squinted my eyes slightly. The lights weren't supposed to start for at least another two days. What in the world could that be? The white dot suddenly started getting closer and I noticed it to be a boy…Maybe around my age. He had striking white hair and blue hoodie I'd read about in books. What stood out the most had to be the fact that he was carrying around this big stick. How odd. Maybe that's how the rest of the world dressed and looked like. Before he could see me I rushed myself inside closing the window.
I was wandering around the woods exploring the world once again. Maybe this part needed to have winter. It seemed they hadn't had snow in hundreds of years. Being Jack Frost gave me the power to do so. Walking around I noticed a tower with a girl in the window. She had long blonde hair and wore a purple dress. It looked like she noticed me, but I honestly doubt she would.
Floating towards the tower I went to the window where the girl was before. Looking in I noticed that she was painting on her walls. She seemed so concentrated. She looked so beautiful…so serene. What seemed to be a little green chameleon noticed me and waved. I waved back to it. He tapped her shoulder and pointed to me, she glanced my way and screamed. She was clutching her heart in what seemed panic. I looked behind myself to see if there was anything that could have spooked her so much, but there was nothing there.
I'm confused nobody could see me. No one believed in Jack Frost anymore. So how could she possibly notice me? Touching the window I slowly opened it to let myself in. Looking towards the girl I noticed she backed up as far as she could go against the wall, she was shaking in fear.
''Hey there…I'm Jack Frost. There's no need to be afraid of me. I won't hurt you.'' I reached out my arm towards her. Hoping that she would take it and stop the look of fear on her face. I needed her to trust me. She was the only person who believed in me. Nobody else noticed the invisible boy and it gets pretty lonely sometimes.
''How do I know you aren't lying to me?'' She actually responded! Holy mackerel! I never would have thought a person acknowledging me would bring me such excitement. ''Well could anyone who isn't Jack Frost do this?'' I opened up my palm and made a figure of a horse gallop with some of my magic. The girl looked at me with wonder in her eyes.
''Now that you know who I am could you please tell me your name?'' I needed to know her name now. The girl who saw me the first person to see me in centuries. I just can't get the thought out of my head. It's amazing. ''I'm Rapunzel and this little guy is Pascal.'' She shyly pointed to her little green chameleon. "Well its nice meeting you. I have a question though…how do you believe in me? Why do you believe in me?'' Confusion etched onto my face I floated near her, hoping she would try to run away.
I looked into her eyes and saw they were the most beautiful green. Like fresh spring grass or the way gems would sparkle. She is truly a beauty to behold. She opened her mouth and closed it again. Frowning she responded ''Well I read about you in a book. It was about you, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, the Easter Bunny, and I believe about a man in the moon.'' She smiled at me, she FRIGGIN SMILED AT ME! I haven't felt this happy in a long time. ''So why did you look so sad out by the window?'' I circled around her, hopefully she didn't think I was a creep. ''Well… I wanted to go see the floating lights.. and well I don't know how to get there.'' She turned away walking sadly to her bed. ''Hey hey don't be sad. If you really want to go I can take you there. Wherever those floating lights are.'' I just floated near her and planted my bare feet on the floor. Pascal looked at me with curiosity then turned his gaze up to look at Rapunzel. He was still perched on her shoulder.
I noticed my beloved Pascal was staring at me then at Jack and then to me again. Could I really trust Jack to take me to see the floating lights? Mother always told me not to trust anyone, but this is Jack Frost. He's from one of my books and well he's here offering me to take me to the place I've wanted to go for almost all of my life. I looked to Jack who was just waiting for me to reply. ''Well ok then, but I have to come back home as soon as we finish seeing them.'' He looked like he was ready to explode from excitement from my response. ''Well then let's get started on our journey!'' He excitedly flew out the window and waited for me to come out after him. This was going to be an interesting turn of events wasn't it?
Well WOAH. This isn't as much as I would have liked to write, but with a baby it would take longer. So I have decided to try and keep these chapter kinda short so I can update a bit quicker. Love it? Hate it? Please leave a review with any tips here and there. I have no Beta just myself reading over this a thousand times to try and improve little things. On another note I won't really stick to the original Rapunzel you'll see what I mean. I might use scenes or lines from the movie here or there, but nothing much else really.
