"But father, why can't I go outside?" Mavis asked. "I'm one hundred and eighteen!" Mavis Black was fuming inside. Why was her father so mean? She wondered. She was old enough to leave!
"My dear, I will not allow you to leave this castle! You are my daughter!" Mavis had had enough of this. "Dad! You said that when I turn one hundred and eighteen I could go out into the world like every other adult that gets to come and go as they please!" she yelled.
"But Mayby Waybe, it's not safe! I only want what's best for you!" he pleaded. "Dad, thirty years ago you promised me that I could go! I specifically remember; we were catching nightmares together and you gave me your word!" Mavis didn't want to stay inside her father's castle any longer.
"You know what?" her father said. "Why don't you leave? Then you'll see what horrible things await!" Mavis stood still, stunned at what he said. "You mean I can go? For real? Oh, this is fantastic!"
Mavis ran up and hugged her father, her head only coming to his lower chest. It wasn't that she was short, but that he was tall. Mavis smiled up at him, but it was not returned. "Once you see what the world is really like, you can come home and we will rule the nightmares together."
Mavis felt tears welling up in her eyes, and she ran to the window. "Goodbye, Dad. I wish I could say that I'll miss you, but that would be lying." With that, Mavis jumped out the window. Her father watched as she transformed herself into a bat and flew into the night.
"She will see." He mumbled. "One day, she will see." He stood in silence, watching his own daughter, his only treasured possession, leave him. But he had expected she would leave him, just like everyone else in his life. No one stayed with him for long. After all, who would love the king of nightmares? Indeed, it seemed that no one could love Pitch Black.
Sorry for the cliffhanger. This is going to be a longer story than my others. I will be using scenes from the movie in this story, but I'm giving them a twist. I am currently writing Rapunzel's side of this story, so stay tuned! Also, please review! I don't know what should happen next! And my mom doesn't like crossover stories. She says don't make sense and whatever. Anyway, follow/fav please!
