Updates will occur whenever I have the free time because I can never keep up with promise chapters :| I always jinx it.
Sorry for the delay :( I'll try to do my best and update as much as I can. Thanks for being patient :)
Oh and the events are not supposed to be accurate with the movie, this chapter is more like a mash-up of the important things that happened.
Chapter 1: The Master of Smolders
Flynn Rider aced through the forests, holding his satchel close and playing "catch me if you can" with the guards behind him. The Coronian guards had no patience whatsoever for this wretched man like any other outlaw they've encountered before, though Rider was a bit special in terms of being a highly wanted criminal with an infamous and rambunctious reputation that has been reported from kingdom to kingdom. Dashing, shrewd, and quick-witted; he has earned the complete and utmost hatred from the guards, while the ladies on the other hand, worshipped him and his ways.
The Coronians began shooting arrows, and Flynn dodged them. The forest was his forte, a place that he knew and belonged in; not where nobles should bother chasing him just because of one measly crown that he stole from a lost princess that's probably dead by now. No one was going to wear that trinket anyways, unless it was their death wish of course.
"Give us the crown Rider!" he heard the Captain of the Guard bellow.
"Then get down from your damn horse and chase me on foot!" Flynn challenged with a sly smirk.
The Captain said nothing, and he felt the hooves of the horses coming closer. These imbeciles were not going to give up easily were they? Flynn had to move to Plan B.
Hide.
Using the last of his breath, Flynn sprinted farther away from the horsemen. He ran until he saw a perfect illusion. Nearby, there was a cloak of vines that seem to lead inside a cave upon closer look. Flynn dashed for it just in time. The cunning thief hid inside the entrance, and calmed his breathing. One of the palace horses, Maximus paused in front of the illusion for a moment, then zipped away afterwards. When he thought it was safe, Flynn went past the cave entrance. There, he stood mesmerized at the scene in front of him. Beyond those vines, were rocks protecting a tower with a violet roof. It was covered in lushes of green from it's aging years, with it's milky paint wearing away and revealing the stone under it. A waterfall was completing the scene in the background, and flowed into a pond down below. It was a taste of heaven.
Might as well climb it. The higher the hiding spot, the better. Besides, the tower seemed abandoned.
Flynn grabbed one of the many arrows from his satchel and stuck it at a crack in the stone then stepped his left foot into another step and climbed. He was the master of climbing walls by now, after having to run away from countless guards in many kingdoms with different structures of buildings and such.
After twenty minutes of seemingly endless stone, Flynn hitched himself up the wooden window and went inside. Sighing, he took a look at the crown in his satchel.
"Ah... Alone at las-"
BONK
Damn it.
Sometime later...
Flynn couldn't believe himself for agreeing to the decisions of this girl, Rapunzel. Apparently, she lived in the tower with her mother and has been locked up there for eighteen years and only now does she actually get to meet another human being besides her mother. Then, Rapunzel asks (more like begs) him to take her to see the floating lanterns for the lost princess all the way back to the kingdom, and if she does, she'll give him the crown she found in his satchel back. Flynn couldn't say no to not getting his crown back, and besides... she was kind of a cute girl.
Though if you had to ask him the first thing he saw, it was the endless rope of golden hair tied around him and the higher structures of the tower. Her mother must be a complete lunatic for not even letting her daughter go outside once, or cutting her hair. Why oh why did he have to choose this tower of all the places in this world?!
Now here we was, watching the once naïve girl bounce all over the place and having mood swings like no other. Oh, and the little green frog that put his tongue in his ear was with her too. What was it's name again? Steve? Pear? Pascal? Yes. Pascal it was. It was like a demon staring into his soul. The problem was, that demon was too adorable for him to kill, and it was Rapunzel's pet. She would probably murder him if he ever messed with that thing. Huh, he'd actually like to see her try.
"Oh my gosh! This would kill her!" Rapunzel cried as she rocked back and forth in a fetal position.
Flynn tried to suppress his bottled laughter. This was too funny to be kept to himself. Rapunzel was an absolute maniac, yet charming at the same time. He decided to take her to the Snuggly Duckling for some food- no it's not because he liked her, it was because he didn't want to be a bitch and leave her starving when she possessed his crown.
It ended in an ultimate apocalypse.
The thugs at the tavern sang with her about their dreams, then forced him to dance and sing as well with the tips of their swords inches from his measly neck. Afterwards, a daft knave burst through the doors and declared that he summoned the guards who were after the crown and Flynn Rider. Fortunately, the musical earned Rapunzel the respect of the thugs, and they led her and Flynn through a secret passageway under the tavern, which the guards followed them through and helped cause the breaking of the dam. Flynn and Rapunzel dashed for an exit, which was a cave, and Flynn wounded his hand and almost ended drowning with her. Although Rapunzel's golden hair suddenly glowed and Flynn found the loose rock he needed to take out to free them.
Calling it hectic was an understatement. It was a restless, erratic hell of an event that nearly caused them their deaths. Damn this girl was dangerous. That night, after setting up camp, Rapunzel admitted that she had magical glowing hair that could heal sickness and injuries, which she used to heal Flynn's gash from the cave incident. Of course he had to tell her something too... it just wouldn't be fair if he didn't. Flynn said that his real name was Eugene Fitzherbert, and that he got his infamous name from a favorite childhood book "The Tales of Flynnigian Rider", a gallant, flirty man that traveled far and wide seeking danger and adventure.
Flynn felt a hint of nostalgia when he remembered reading that book when he was small. It was the only thing he would read in the orphanage library, and he threw off any other child who would make an attempt to pry it away from his grasp. He fell in love with it, and promised himself that he would one day escape this wretched prison and set off being like his fictional hero. Look where he stands now.
"Argh..." Rapunzel groaned and felt her forehead, breaking Flynn from his reverie.
"Blondie, are you okay?" he asked, concerned all of a sudden.
"No, I'd better... I have to leave" she said, standing from the rock she sat on.
"Huh? Aren't you the one that wanted to get to the kingdom?" Flynn mused, wondering why Rapunzel decided to surprisingly change her mind. Was she going to give him his crown back now?
"Yes, but- Ack!" Rapunzel sank to the ground again, holding her head and from all the pain coursing through. She was like a deranged person who's drunk and seeing stars.
"Rapunzel?!" he cried and watched her lay to her side with her eyes closed and her hair slowly turning black.
Was that too fast-paced? Because I feel that it is for some reason. O_O
Catch you on another update!
