Chapter 2

( Rapunzel watched longingly as her mother slowly crawled on top of her, pressing her soft body into hers as she trailed kisses along her collar bone; her hands gently moving upwards towards her chest . )

Rapunzels eyes shot open. It was just a dream, she thought; as her fingers tightened around her sheets. she could here her mother cooking breakfast down stairs, it smelled wonderful, but she had other things on her mind. A strange feeling was going through her, she felt so… tingly. Having no clue how to stop the feeling; Rapunzel rolled over until she was face down on her bed, groaning into her pillow. Usually she only dreamed about mother holding her, or wrapping her arms around her from behind, but last night…Rapunzel sighed in content as she remembered her dream. Ok so maybe I want mother to kiss me, just a little, Rapunzel thought. Then shook those thoughts away.

The last thing she wanted was mother ignoring her again. If only I could figure out how to stop these feelings. Sighing in frustration; Rapunzel rolled over onto her back. Resting her hand on her stomach as she stared up at her ceiling. She wanted to find out where this tingle was coming from, so out of curiosity; Rapunzel closed her eyes and slowly moved her hand upwards, cupping her developing chest softly. This feels good she thought. her mind wandered to how soft her mothers hands felt in her dream. Rapunzel moved her hand down past her stomach; gingerly running her fingers over her center then froze. That's where it's coming from

She bit her lower lip, then slowly pulled up her gown; trembling as cool air hit her bare skin.

" Rapunzel! Breakfast is ready!" Gothel called loudly from downstairs. She had just finished making two stacks of strawberry pancakes, with scrabbled eggs, and placed them on the table. Gothel glanced towards her daughters room in annoyance, usually she would have been down here by now. Was she still sleeping? What on earth is that girl doing up there.

" I'll be down in a second!" Replied a startled Rapunzel, as she yanked down her gown. Reluctantly sliding out of bed to get dressed, she opened her closet. then stilled for a moment and exhaled. A strong part of her wanting to jump back in bed; and continue what she was doing, but she pushed those thoughts away. I'll have plenty of time to do that later.

When she finished getting dressed, she walked downstairs into the dining room; smiling at her mother as she looked up at her displeased . " Goodness Rapunzel! I thought I was going to have to go up there and get you," Rapunzel blushed. Glad that she hadn't. " Sorry mother, I was just… uh" there was no way she was going to tell her what she'd really been doing, but she couldn't think up a good excuse ether. Gothel simply sighed. "Just don't make it a habit dear." Rapunzel nodded as she sat down next to her mother. The pancakes looked really good, but Rapunzel just wasn't hungry… for food anyway. Not wanting to look suspicious she took a few bites; then shifted the food around on her plate. Gothel didn't pick up on it anyway, she was too busy talking about how soon winter was coming. Rapunzel tried her best to listen, but her eyes kept lingering on her mothers lips every time she bit into her food. Gothel noticed her staring and looked at her worriedly. "are you alright dear?" Rapunzel blinked then looked away embarrassed. " I'm fine it's just… can you stay home today?" Gothel smiled "Flower you know I have to go out and get things that we need." Rapunzel sighed as she stirred around her food. " I know… I just wish I could go with you sometimes."

Gothel frowned, not like where this conversations going. " Rapunzel we've already talked about this, it's too dangerous. It's much safer for you in the tower." Not wanting to start an argument; Rapunzel agreed and took a few more bites of her food.

After breakfast she walked with her mother to the balcony. Watching somberly as she clipped on her dark green cloak and looked through her basket. Gothel Noticed her daughters demeanor and moved towards her, wrapping her arms around her shoulders; softly petting her long blonde hair." I love you very much dear," Gothel said into her daughter hair. "I love you more." Rapunzel replied. Then snuggled in closer, enjoying her mothers cinnamon aroma.

" and I love you most," Rapunzel shivered as she felt her mothers soft lips on her forehead, the tingling feeling was back with a vengeance. " I'll be back later this evening dear, it shouldn't take me long to find seasoned wood,"

Rapunzel simply nodded, then lowered her mother to the ground using her hair. Waving at her as she watched her disappear through the woods. be careful mommy Rapunzel thought sadly as she leaned against the balcony wall. She always felt so lonely whenever her mother was gone, but then something hit her, she was alone. which meant she could go back to what she was doing this morning. She rushed hurriedly up stairs to her room grabbing the door knob then froze, slowly turning towards her mothers room. Gothel had always told her that when she was gone, Her room was off limits. but what mother doesn't know wont hurt her right? Rapunzel thought as she crossed the hallway into her mothers room.

Unlike the rest of the tower, Gothels room is very elegant. All the furniture in the room is made out of a fine dark wood. There is a larger vanity mirror near the door, and Two tall dressers that laid on each side of a grand four poster bed. Rapunzel moved over to the bed and laid out onto the mattress. Inhaling the strong scent of cinnamon on the sheets "Mother,"Rapunzel whispered, longingly as she slowly pulled off her dress, throwing it neatly next to the bed. She rolled over onto her back and began exploring herself.

Gothel walked through the forest frowning. She hadn't had any luck finding seasoned wood. Everything she found was either too wet to burn properly, or already starting to rot. Sighing heavily; she ran her fingers through her dark curls, freezing as the sound of a falling tree caught her ear. Arching a brow curiously; she stealthily followed the noise until she reached a clearing where two men were building a house. Leaning in close behind a tree, her eyes scanned over the area, coming to rest on a small bin filled with dry wood. Jackpot! Gothel thought with a smile. Now how am I going to get past these two? Killing really wasn't her style, unless it was necessary. she'd rather knock someone out or just sneak past them, then take their life. The two men suddenly started arguing about something, and Gothel saw her chance. Swiftly, she moved over to the bin, her back facing the men as she Grabbed three medium sized logs.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing!" Gothel froze. Damn it

"Well!"

Gothel laid the wood down slowly. Then pulled down her hood, turning toward the men seductively. " Oh forgive me it's just… with winter coming so soon its hard to find quality wood… you don't mind if I take a few logs do you?" Both men looked on with goofy grins . Finally the taller of the two cleared his throat." Uh no…take what ever you need miss," Gothel smiled triumphantly. Then turned around grabbing three logs. Both men ran over to her offering help, but she turned them down. " Are you sure? I can carry like twenty of'm for ya" The taller man asked while flexing his muscles

"Twenty? I can hold forty with out breakin a sweat!"

"You stay out of this!"

" Make me!" Gothel rolled her eyes as she watched them fight. Slightly impressed that the shorter man was able to get in a few hits. Realizing that it was getting late, she walked past the two back into the forest. Less then twenty-five minutes later; she reached the path that she used often as a shortcut to the tower, only to freeze as a man limped out from the other side of the woods, clutching his bloody side. He looked about eighteen and judging by his brown tattered clothes very poor. Gothel watched emotionless as he collapsed onto the ground breathing roughly. His wounds looked deep. He doesn't stand a chance

She turned to leave, stopping as he called out to her. " Wait!…Please," Gothel looked over her shoulder at him, as he reaching into his clothing; pulling out a lovely ruby case.

"D -don't…let them have it…wait until.. - " His eyes rolled into the back of his head as he laid motionless. Gothel set her wood down, and moved over to him, feeling a little sorry for the guy. He must have tried to rob someone and failed …ah well his loss my gain. she thought, as she pulled the gorgeous case from his grasp. She looked it over in her hands, pulling out her knife to open it then stilled. Hmm he said something about waiting. Gothel simply shrugged then popped the case open. She didn't get to see what was inside, because a red powered shot out all over her face. Gothel screamed and stumbled backwards dropping her basket as her eyes, nose, and mouth started burning. "UGH!" What the hell!

She ran through the forest, trying her best to see where she was going until finally she saw a lake. Getting on her knees she threw her head in; Pulling out and dunking it in again, until finally the burning was gone. Gothel sat there on all fours breathing heavily, she felt so dizzy. Ugh I should have just went home...being around Rapunzels made me soft. Gothel smiled as she thought of her daughter then collapsed next to the lake.
