~Hello all. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my little collection.~

{I got the idea to do these one shot type chapters from a wonderful Fanfic writer who did a week of Jackunzel. I fell in love with the stories and then began to come up with my own little one shots. Oh small key and point since I know I'll be using her a bit: Black Rose is an OC of mine that I have dubbed as the unknown daughter of Pitch Black. Her powers reside in a flower that taints whatever it touches in evil dark water. She also is able to pull water from moisture in the air and turn it to the dark water. Sort odd but I think she'll be an excellent villain since she has her fathers smoothy speech skills}

All credit for this wondrous idea goes to: Song of a Free Heart. If you haven't read her work please do

Chapter One: Sun and Moon

I watched carefully as Black Rose circled me. I kept my staff close, lighting the room as best I could, making sure I did not letting her out of my sight.

"I know you're afraid, Rapunzel. You fear never being loved, never knowing who you are. But you don't have to be afraid. I can take your fears away, make them all disappear, the dark prince will love you." A cold smile touched her dark features. It made her look just like her father, though I had never met Pitch Black stories about him traveled through the spirits.

"I will never join you." I tried to keep my voice from shaking, though my efforts only caused my body to begin trembling.

"Tsk tsk. Come now Miss Spring, do you really think the Guardians want someone like you? Someone who makes it rain every time she cries? Someone who can't take care of herself? You're too afraid to even leave you're tower without Bunny." Rose stopped a few inches in front of me. "Besides who would love a mess like you?" She tilted her head and gave me a mock look of sympathy. As her words sunk into me, I lowered my arms. My brave front fell, the light that came from my center dimmed around me. The little bit of light that my staff gave off was snuffed out as I let it fall to the ground. However the nest thought that came to my mind brought my inner light soaring back to its former glory.

"Jack loves me. He told me so himself." I let a small smirk form at the corners of my mouth.

Rose began to laugh; it started low and quiet, than quickly became a harsh deep rumbling that sounded sickening to my ears.

"You truly believe that Jack Frost, a boy of a man, could ever hold good to a promise of love?" She continued to laugh. "He doesn't care for you Rapunzel. Here, look." She held her hand out, revealing a large crystal ball. Hesitantly I took the crystal; I gave her a final look before peering down into the ball. At first I saw nothing but haze; the mist began to swirl until finally it dissipated leaving a good view of Jack and the other Guardians at the toy shop. North was saying something but I could not make it out. At once I figured that the ball was nothing more than a would be memory of how things could have been, until I heard Tooth speak.

"Jack… You don't really want to give her up do you?" She sounded far off, there was a small echo to her words, as she came into view of the crystal with Jack. Worry was written all over her features. It calmed some of my nerves for a second. Just a second.

"I can't keep fooling myself. We can't keep playing these games. I do not now, nor have I ever loved her."

The crystal fell from my hands. My world was darkening.

"See Rapunzel? I tried to tell you, but" Rose sighed. "You just would not listen." She paused for a moment, I hardly noticed as large pools of tears former in my eyes. It seemed like an eternity before she finally spoke again it caused me to jump at the sound of her voice. "Rapunzel? Would you like to go see them? One last time, ask him straight forward if this is really what he wants?" I could hear the smirk playing in her voice even if I could not see her.

I tried opened my mouth to speak, but no words came. I gave a small nod, wrapping my arms around myself as a portal opened before my eyes. I stepped towards it, not giving anything another thought; not even bothering to take my staff with me.

As I stepped through the portal I could hear the voice of the Guardians grow louder. North was shouting something in Russian that I just could not make out. Bunny seemed to be trying to calm him down to no avail. I stood back for a moment, watching the people I thought would be my family. It hurt deeply to know that I would never belong with them; nearly as badly as it hurt me to accept that I would never know who I was.

{~:~}

Bunny was the first to realize I was there. He rushed over to me, but just before reaching me he stopped. I suppose something about seeing your spirit helper broken inside caused distress in yourself. The others followed him, but again they all stopped the moment they were close enough to see me. Only Jack lingered in the background. He could not bring himself to look at me, and I could not tear my eyes away from him.

"Is it true?" The words rushed out of my mouth before my brain had time to think them over. "Is it Jack? Tell me. D-do you not lov-" I was cut off.

"Stop it." Jack looked up at me finally. Anger and frustration, and something that I denied was there stared back at me. "Stop this silly game of yours. Just because you're delirious I'm supposed to play along?" His voice began to rise, I flinched. "I'm sick of it Rapunzel. No, I don't. Yes its true." At that Jack turned and called the wind to take him off. He never made it an inch off the ground before Rose appeared behind him and shoved him back across the room.

"What did I tell you Flower? The Moon never loved the sun in return. Now will you join me?" She disappeared, the remnants of her voice playing off the walls of the toy shop. North and Bunny took their weapons up, whilst Tooth check that Jack was alright. Rose suddenly reappeared in front of me, a black Nightshade flower blooming in her hand as she stretched it out to me. "Well Punz? I can promise the dark prince will cherish you. So will you join me?"

"No Rapunzel don't!" Tooth tried to come rescue me, but a blast of dark water shot her back. Rose glared at the defiant Guardian.

Tears rolled off my cheeks as I hung my head.

"I am not a Guardian… I never will be. I see that now." I stretched my hand out to take the flower from her.

"No!" Ice covered the flower. "Rapunzel don't! She's lying to you! She made me say those things you have to, you have to believe me! Remember the story Rapunzel, the Sun loved the Moon!" I glanced up at Jack as he staggered to his feet, his staff unbeknownst in its location.

I once again opened my mouth to respond, but my chance was gone in an instant. Darkness surrounded me as I once again found myself in that lightless room. The sound of Rose's laughter filled my ears.

"Welcome to the darkness little Sun."

{~:~}

There was a sharp pain in the middle of my back which left me falling on the floor paralyzed. Rose created just enough light for me to see her create a new Nightshade blossom.

"I wonder if you'll ever learn little Sun, you and the Moon may never be together. Just like the story says."

'Story. Jack said something about a story before. I knew it just moments before… Something about the Sun and Moon.'

In the moment it took me to lose the last bits of my memories of the Guardians, I watched Rose sing a dark incantation, causing the Nightshade to glow a blackened light. When her singing ended she placed the flower in my hair.

The last thing I saw before I lost my consciousness was my long golden hair wither up to just below my hip. Brown strands of my once blonde hair fell over my eyes, as though to cast me further into the darkness.
