Chapter Three

(Fairy Tale Time the Enchanted Forest) Snow ran past the trees and through the woods of The Enchanted Forest. She could hear the queens men behind her. She had to find somewhere to hide, to put the men off her trail. She quickly rolled into a ditch. To her great surprise they rode on by. She knew if she stayed in the ditch they would find her in minutes.

"If only I knew where Red was." Snow sighed. Red was off looking for somewhere permanent for the two to stay. She wouldn't take Snow with her because Red was going as a wolf.

Red ran off in a different way than the men were going. Snow soon came to a large field. In the middle of the field stood a large tower. Snow looked for an entrance but there wasn't one to be found.

"Hello?" Snow called. "Will you let me up?"

Suddenly a large rope like material flew down and almost hit Snow on the head. When she looked closer she realized that it was hair.

"Strange." Snow muttered.

Snow grabbed hold of the hair and started climbing. When she got to the top she saw that the hair belonged to a young girl, barely a teenager.

"You're not the witch!" The girl said. The girl was rather dainty. She had a small wiry frame and dazzling green eyes. Snow quickly realized that her hair was what Snow had just climbed.

"What?" Snow asked.

"You don't think I'm here because I want to do you?" the girl retorted sarcastically.

Snow sighed. "Of course not. I'm asking about the witch."

"Oh. she calls herself Mother Gothel. She is evil. She locked me in this tower 9 years ago when I was five," The girl said, "She killed my parents then transported me here. Every day she comes up here. I soon lose consciousness I don't know why."

"Don't worry I can hel-" Snow was cut off by a call from outside.

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair! Don't take so long girl!." It was Mother Gothel.

"Oh no! It's her!" Rapunzel whispered frantically. "Hide!"

~~~Meanwhile in present time...~~~

Annaliese and Henry were sitting at a table playing blackjack. Annaliese had taught Henry just a few minutes before how to play.

"Where did you learn blackjack anyway?" Henry asked Anna curiously.

"My father. Or who I thought was my father. You see I know that all this was fake, I don't still think I'm Anna from Storybrooke I just don't know who I am. It's confusing." Annaliese replied.

Anna had often been teased in school. She often dreamed in class and played with her hair. She never knew what to do with herself and kids generally didn't like her or her father. She hadn't had the nice teacher, Mary Margaret. While Henry was in fourth grade Annaliese had been in 8th and her teachers didn't care what she thought or did. They just dealt with her.
"Well who was your Storybrooke father?" asked Henry.
"Uh, his storybrooke name was Albert Spencer," Rapunzel said. "You might know him better as king George."
"What! King George! Thats my Grandpa's dad. Well not his birth dad but his royal dad." Henry cried.
"What? I didn't know! After the curse broke he sat me down and asked me who I was. When I said I didn't know he stormed out and never came back. On his way out he said. "I don't care if you were my daughter In Storybrooke, if I find out you tried to do something to me back in the old land I will get you!' Henry! I don't know anything that I did! What if people hate me!" Annaliese cried.
"No one will hate you Anna. If they have a heart they will understand that you don't remember who you are!" said Henry trying to calm Anna down.
Annaliese stood up. "Really Henry? Everyone had enemies. They prey on the weak. The queen, your 'mother' hated Snow when she was younger. Someone might want to kill me! You think you're so smart? Figure out who I am!" Anna then ran up the stairs and into the bathroom, slamming the door. Henry sat still. He had no way of even describing what had just happened. Suddenly Henry remembered his book. It was back at Granny's. Maybe he could see a picture that looked like Anna.

Chapter Four

"Okay she's gone. You are lucky that she didn't find you." Rapunzel said.

Snow climbed out of the chest that she had hidden in.

"Did you see what she did to me?" Rapunzel asked hopefully.

"Yes! She's terrible! How could someone do something so horrible?" Snow shouted.
"What!" Rapunzel asked. "Wait, you can tell me on the way!"
"Sure." Snow said with a voice of confusion.
"Okay! Start getting these chains off! If I spend any more time here I'll probably go insane!"
"Wait. How exactly do you plan on leaving? You are too weak to climb down yourself. While I can climb down by myself but I can't carry you at the same time. Plus the queen hates me. I'd be putting you in danger" Snow questioned.
"You can't just leave me here!' Rapunzel yelled. "I have been here since I was five! I watched my parents get brutally murdered and I am trapped here by the person that killed them. I haven't even been outside since I was five. You have a better life than me. I am forever scarred from this. Every day I think my life is over and I'm only 14!"
"Calm down. I'm not going to just leave you here. I know what your suffering, it is terrible never knowing if you will live to see another day. But my point is we need to figure out a way to get out of here without being caught and killed!" Snow shot back.
"Really? Don't pretend you get me for whatever I'm going through. You may not know if you are going to survive until tomorrow but at least you have power over your own life! I just sit up here hoping I will someday get out! My family is dead. My siblings are dead. I only had one friend and I don't even know what happened to him. I saw him yell at Mother Gothel when she was taking me away but I haven't seen him since!" Rapunzel said angrily. If she could have she would have tackled Snow to the ground. "And another thing you know my name, well what about yours?"
" You don't understand, the queen killed my father. And my mother was killed years ago. I do know what you're going through. You had a family but they were ripped away from you. Now we both need to just calm down. Fighting is getting us nowhere. Now I will give you what you asked my name. I'm Snow." Snow sighed.
"If you are still just going to leave me here to rot, will you at least go to my town and see if my friend is still there?"
" He's the only thing from my life that is still life, if that even. Maybe he's still alive. Even though he was 7 when I was taken Micheal was my best friend and I know he would figure out how to save me. He would be 16 now," Rapunzel said.
"Okay. I'm truly sorry I made you upset. I just want to help you. I will try my best to find him but it's going to be difficult. But I must ask you one thing. Trust me. If I don't find him I will find a way to get you out of here. I won't abandon you. I promise." Snow finished.
"You should be sorry. I have tried not to get my hopes up and you just crushed me like a giant rock. Michael and I lived under the ruling of King George. He favored our family. I'm not sure why. Maybe that will help you find him. Be careful though. He is an excellent fighter." Rapunzel finished
