Hey guys I am updating the first chapter as I have realised that most of it is in bold. -.-
Thanks Jack.
Jack: NOT MY FAULT
Enjoy ^,-
The alarm was the first thing Rapunzel heard in the morning and it was enough to make her quite literally jump out of the bed and run down the stairs. She ate breakfast probably faster than she should have so she could spend a good amount time deciding what she was going to pack and what she was wearing. In the end Rapunzel wore white summer dress which came down to her knees and blue converse.
Back down stairs she heard the door bell ring and, in excitement, almost fell over in a hurry to reach the door before her parents. She won the race and paused to make it look like she had not just run a marathon. Rapunzel opened the door and grinned as her three best friends stood quite awkwardly outside. Hiccup has his arm around Merida and Jack stood smiling at her. "You ready?" He asks and she nods clutching her backpack a little tighter. Merida threw her that 'I know you still like him' smile and Rapunzel blushed a brilliant red, Hiccup saw the signals and whispers to Merida.
"Merida. Why don't we go and wait in the car?"
"What? Why?"
"Just come on!"
Rapunzel smiled briefly and turn to see my parents smiling by the stair case. She gave them both a hug, going bright red as her mother wiped a tear from her eye. "Be careful and don't do anything stupid." She said holding Rapunzel's hands tightly. "Don't worry, Jack will look after me wont you?" She turned and gave him a stare. Jack stood up straighter and nodded. Rapunzel smiled back at her parents and gave one last hug before running with him out the door and into the car they had rented for the five day holiday. Rapunzel and Jack sat in the back, Hiccup sat in the passenger seat in the front and Merida drove. That was already a bad start as she tended to drive fuelled only on anger and refused to stop till they had got to half way. By which time Jack was clawing at the windows begging to go to the toilet, and the car had turned into a shouting match. Merida eventually let them run to the toilet and grab a coffee.
After a 20 minute stop, it would have been shorter if one of the waitresses had not started chatting up Jack. She was dealt with by Merida throwing a plate of food at her head and the manger ordering them out of the service station. The hurriedly climbed back in the car, Hiccup and Merida switched while Rapunzel and Jack still sat in the back giggling over coffee. Then for the last hour Merida decided it would be great idea to play her favourite music, heavy metal, by the end of the trip everyone (except Merida's) ears hurt.
However they were here, for five whole days they would be without school, homework and stress. Just hanging out with friends for the entire holiday. The tour guide, Oaken had already suggested an amazing amount of festivals and advents going to happen throughout the week. Rapunzel grinned and grabbed Merida's hand and together they went to the room of their lodge and changed into their swim wear, they both instantly started sunbathing while the boys jumped into the lake. Rapunzel watched as Jack and Hiccup started playing with the beach ball Merida had brought. She laughed and returned to reading the book her mother had given her for her birthday. "Don't you think it's weird?" Asked Merida after about ten minutes of chatting and reading. "What?" "The silence." Rapunzel listened for Jack and Hiccup and frowned as the lake had gone quiet. She walked slowly over the small wooden dock and called for Jack, then Hiccup. More silence. She was about to turn around to ask Merida if she was kidding around with her when a large object crashed into her, she screamed and fell into the water. "Made you jump!" The sound of a familiar voice made her smile. She swam out further and saw Jack laughing at her. Revenge time. "Oh my god!" She screamed and started thrashing around. "What?" Jack had a worried look on his face. "There is something in the water!" Rapunzel pretended to be pulled under the water, to her pleasure Jack had swum over and was yelling her name. She kicked off the bottom of the lake floor and splashed him as hard as she could in the face. Rapunzel laughed and then screamed as Jack swept her off her feet and threw her into the water. Hiccup and Merida joined in and soon the lake was filled with screaming and laughter.
Once everyone had become cold or tired, they all climbed out, sitting on the dock Rapunzel let the water dry off her in the last beams of sunlight. Jack was annoying Hiccup and Merida by splashing them with water while they were trying to have a romantic moment. Rapunzel smiled sand stood up, she crept behind Jack who was in the process of filling his hands with water and pushed him back in the lake. A small yell and gurgles were all her heard as she ran back to the lodge yelling something about preparing dinner.
Later that night the four sat around a barbeque on the porch, Rapunzel nibbled at her burger laughing as Jack and Hiccup argued about who had burnt the burger the worst. Merida brought out a violin and played a jig, everyone got up and started dancing, even Hiccup, who could not dance for his life. As the night wore on the fast paced melody turned soft and slow. Merida and Hiccup had gone inside, still half playing the violin. Leaving Jack and herself on the porch together. "Bet you can't name all those star constellation." Rapunzel jumped and turned around. Jack walked over and stood next to her. "Sure I can name most of them." She pointed at a small group of stars. "That is called Orion, I could tell you a story about him if you want." Rapunzel smiled at Jack who nodded eagerly and leaned on the railing next to her. The world went quiet, Merida and Hiccup must have either fallen asleep or gone upstairs. She blushed and started telling the story.
"Orion, the hunter of Taurus the bull, and Lepus the hare. Followed faithfully by his companions Canis Major, and Canis Minor, he is the dominator of the northern sky. Madly in love with the daughter of King Oenopion of Chios, Metrope, Orion was consistently denied marriage to her. His love for her raged, and while in a drunken stupor, raped Metrope. Oenopion consulted Dionysus, and found revenge. Dionysus casted Orion into a deep sleep, and plagued him with blindness. Upon awakening Orion sought the help of an Oracle. It told him that to gain his sight back, he would need to travel east, and let the rays of the sun strike his eyes. Orion did this, regained his sight, and later lived in Crete, where the goddess of the moon Artemis fell in love with him. Her love for him was so strong, that she failed to light the evening sky with moonlight. Orion's death came about when Apollo challenged Artemis to hit a speck among the waters of the ocean, not knowing that this speck was Orion swimming. Artemis shot a single arrow killing him. In response to her actions, Artemis placed Orion, along with his companions Canis Major, and Canis Minor in the sky, near the seven daughters of Oenopion, the Pleiades. Here they remained as the mightiest hunters of the night sky."
"That was some story." Jack said after a short silence. Rapunzel blushed and shivered, she wrapped her arms round her elbows and looked into the night. "Oh my god are you cold?" Jack realised something and ran inside, he came out a moment later holding a blanket and handed it to Rapunzel. "Thanks." "Do you want to go inside." He asked looking tired himself. "Sure." She said walking back to the door. "See you tomorrow." She called softly, a small whisper replied making her smile. "You too."
To her surprise, Merida was not in the bedroom.
