Rapunzel's Tale Part 2
It had been nine years since the witch locked Rapunzel in the tower. It seemed as though life would never get better. Everyday at noon the witch would come to the tower in her chariot and bring Rapunzel food and water. Of course you must be wondering how the sorceress managed to get up to the tower. Well it was all very easy for her. She would first remove the enchantment on the window, then she would yell to Rapunzel, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!" (The day after the girl was locked up the sorceress enchanted Rapunzel's hair to grow magnificently.) And of course everyday Rapunzel would refuse to help her up. Upon hearing the word "No" escape the fragile lips of the girl, the witch became furious and threw fireballs at the girl leaving strange markings running down her arms, legs, and chest. The witch would eventually stop and use a spell forcing her hair to slither out the window like a snake. Then she would climb up. Rapunzel could not bear the woman's weight and cried out in suffering agony. Of course the witch didn't care for she was a sadistic and evil woman.
There was only one good thing that had ever happened to Rapunzel. The sorceress had enchanted her voice as to make it the sweetest singing voice in all the land. She would sing her sorrows away to the best of her abilities. She knew one day she would grow old and die but for now she could sing out for the entire world to hear her. She had always dreamed of a husband but she knew it could never be for the witch would never free her from her iron prison. At least she could dream.
One day a prince was riding his horse throughout the forest when he heard a noise. It was the sweetest sound he had ever heard. He wanted to follow it. He knew he must be on his way but it was as if some angel was pushing him closer and closer towards the lovely sound. He stopped trying to hold back and charged forward on his horse. At last he was in front of the tower. The sound was mesmerizing. As though in a trance he jumped down from the saddle and walked towards the tower.
"Hello?" he yelled up to the window. Startled for she had never heard a voice other than the sorceress's in twenty-one years, she ran over to the window. When she saw the prince she fell to her knees as a smile spread across her face. "Hello to you too," she said, "How did you find me?" The prince said, "I heard singing from the tower. I followed and it led me hear to the most beautiful girl in the world." Rapunzel began to blush, "You're very handsome yourself." "Do you think maybe I could come up there?" asked the prince. "I'm sorry but the sorceress enchanted it so I can't escape," said Rapunzel. Suddenly they both heard a noise it was the sound of horses and flame. The prince jumped behind a bush just as the witch arrived in her chariot.
"I was feeling generous today Rapunzel so I brought a bottle of wine and some chicken," said the sorceress. Rapunzel looked as though she had an idea and said, "Perhaps I can let you up today," just as the witch removed the enchantment. The witch then climbed up and they began to eat and drink. "No I insist that you drink all of the wine my mistress," said Rapunzel to the sorceress. "Well, if you insist," said the witch happily. By the time the meal was over the witch was drunk with wine and could barely stand straight to Rapunzel's advantage.
The witch fell out of the window and barely survived for she had made a bed appear below her and landed softly. The sorceress was so drunk she forgot to enchant the window on her way out just as Rapunzel had planned. When the sorceress was gone Rapunzel hurried to the window.
"At last she is gone," said the prince while walking out from behind the bush. "Yes," said Rapunzel in a longing tone. They were both longing for something. The prince walked to the edge of the tower and said, "Won't you let me up?" Rapunzel had a sheepish smile on her face, "You have to do it properly." The prince then got on his knee and yelled, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair!" She then took her long flowing locks and threw them down. She still felt pain as he climbed up but she knew it would all be worth it. When he at long lost he arrived at the window they began to kiss with passion. Then both dropped down onto the floor…
I'll let you figure out the rest.
