My mother always loved flowers. She always said that I was her favorite flower. Even if it was in middle of the winter my mother had create a garden in the castle. With those flowers she grown, my mother decorated my hair. I loved it when she did that, but I when she did it was for a purpose. Mother put the last flower in my hair and she looked at me. She looked so proud. Her green eyes shined like the sun and I saw tears behind her eyes. I couldn't help but smile. She always wanted my best.

"You look amazing, dear." I turned around and saw myself in the mirror. My long golden hair was in a braid with hundreds of flowers. My green eyes looked surprised. I was wearing a long purple dress with pink details. I really did look good. I saw my mothers reflection behind me.

"Do you know what I see? I see a strong, confident, beautiful, young lady." I laughed and gave her a big smile.

"Thank you, mother. But... why is this necessary?" My mother lay a hand on my shoulder and took a deep breath. I was right. I knew my mother, it was something important she wanted to tell me.

"You are going to get married." Married? My heart stopped beating and my blood froze to ice. I starred at her. Did I have a fiance? Was I betrothed?Since when?

"Wait... what?" I looked down at the floor. Why? Why would my mother say something like this after braiding my hair? Why would my mother even say that I was going to get married? She always said that I should do what made me happy. Did my parents married me off? Questions.

"Yes, darling. You're 18 now, it's the time to get married." I couldn't believe it. I took some steps away from my mother and shook my head. No, I couldn't get married. It was so many things I wanted to do before that. I wanted to be ready for it, not just because I was 18.

"I... can't.. I'm not... ready." I couldn't see her face. I didn't want her to be disappointed. I run to the door and flung up the door.

"Rapunzel! Where are you going?" She wanted to take my arm but I was to fast. I run down the corridor and never looked back. I came down to the great hall and my father stood there talking to another man. A man with a crown. Oh no. This wasn't good at all.

"Rapunzel! Meet the king from the North Kingdom. Your going to meet his son a week from now and... wait. Rapunzel, where are you going?" I looked at them both but my eyes was at the North Kingdoms king. He had dark brown hair just as my father who was the king of the West Kingdom. He had gray eyes that I felt studied me My mother had dressed me up to met the king. No wonder. I smiled a false smile. I couldn't scream even if I wanted to. That king had power and people with power should you never embarrass.

"I.. I just want to go outside! To the lake, I want to ice skating!" The first thing that came up in my head. My father furrowed his brow and shook his head. He was about to say no but I didn't give him a chance. A servent came quickly with my white skates and my pink coat. I took them and run to the entrance door and when I was about to go outside I heard my mothers voice.

"Rapunzel! Darling, stop her! You can't let her go outside when we have a guest!" I didn't care. I run like it was for my life. It was for my freedom.

It wasn't many outside now. It was snowing and it was freezing. I didn't had any time to put on shoes and the coat didn't warm that much. I didn't care either. I ran trough the village and to the forest. I knew I had to go back to the castle sooner or later but now I just wanted to get out of there. I was near the lake now but... I stopped. Someone was there. I saw someone. I stood still and tried to see. It was someone who skating. Skating really good too. Who was it? The trees was in the way and I moved the branch. The branch broke.

"Who's there?" A boys voice or a mans. I swallowed and went forward. "I just.. I just wanted to skate here then I saw..." I didn't get to complete the sentence, surprise had alredy taken me. Wow. A boy with dark brown hair was looking at me. The snowflakes was stuck in his messy hair and his eyes was like melting chocolate. He did not seem to have much musclar but he was athletic. He was like a prince on ice.
