Chapter 7 - Prince Charming

Harry climbed up Rosalina's hair and through the window. A shocking scene met them. Jacob and Peter climbed up into the window behind him and saw it too. Rosalina was sitting on the floor, chained to the post of her bed. There was blood on her arms where the chaines were cutting into them. Another trickle of blood was running down her cheek. Her hair was trailing across the room and out of the window. Rapunzel was there. Free from her mirror prison she was holding a shiny dagger to Lily's throat.

"Lily!" Harry yelled

Peter pulled a knife from his belt and ran for Rapunzel.

"Peter no!" shouted Harry, Jacob and Rosalina.

Peter froze. At first Harry thought he had changed his mind but then he realized that Rapunzel's Sapphire eyes were fixed on Peter's. Peter started to walk backwards, still keeping his eyes on Rapunzel's and stopped when he reached Rosalina. He raised the knife.

"No Peter!" yelled Jacob.

"Don't look into her eyes!" Harry shouted.

Peter looked at Rosalina. She struggled backwards. Peter raised the knife higher.

"Peter...please don't" whispered Rosalina.

Peter's hand shock. He was struggling to tear his eyes away from Rapunzel. Harry and Jacob pulled Peter back and he looked away from Rapunzel. He dropped the knife and it clattered down at Rosalina's feet. Out of the corner of Lily's eye, she saw Rosalina slip the knife behind her.

"I knew you would all come back here in the end." said Rapunzel.

"What do you mean?" asked Harry

"That's the problem with men. They are so wrapped up in their own dreams that they don't realise what's right infront of them." She gestured at Lily.

"Lily? What are you talking about?" asked Harry.

Rapunzel tightened her grip around the dagger, dropplets of blood were forming on Lily's throat.

"It won't matter soon. In thirty seconds Rosalina will be in the mirror instead of me and i will have all the power my mother put into that mirror. I will be a witch at last!" Rapunzel screached.

"Why does Rosalina have to be in the mirror?" asked Jacob.

"A spell exchange. I came out of the mirror and someone must return and it won't be me!" she said.

Rosalina screamed. They all looked at her. She was starting to fade. Her vision was darkening until she was blind. There was a flash of light and she opened her eyes. She wasn't chained anymore. Rosalina looked up. She was looking into the room where Harry, Peter, Jacob, Lily and Rapunzel were standing. She was trapped in the mirror.

"Rose!" yelled Harry.

"You can't help her now" laughed Rapunzel, "You have bigger problems to deal with."

"What can you do? It's four against one" said Peter.

"Oh no it's not" said Rapunzel laughing harder, "You really think nobody ever found my tower."

"The prince" said Harry remembering the book.

"Yes" hissed Rapunzel.

Just then the mirror swung forward. A staircase was behind the it. Framed in the doorway was the silhouette of a man.

"When mother found out about us she was so angry" said Rapunzel happily, "She scratched his eyes and face and through him from the tower but when she came back the next day to imprison me in the mirror she didn't know he was behind it."

The man stepped into the light. Lily screamed. It face was scared and bloody. He looked like a zombie.

"Hello" he said. His voice was rough and seemed to tear in his thoat.

He ran at Harry. He ducked and Jacob and Peter dived for him. Rapunzel Had obviously used some kind of enchantment on the prince because he spang easily away from them and started to fight from a new angle.

Rosalina watched them from the mirror. She knew the story. The person outside the mirror is dependent on the person inside the mirror. If she died then so would Rapunzel.

Rapunzel watched the fight before them. She walked over to the window dragging Lily with her and looped he long dark hair over a hook above the window. Lily was stuggling but Rapunzel pressed the dagger tighter to her throat. Just then Harry kicked the prince and he staggered backwards and fell out of the window. They all heard the sickening crunch as he hit the floor. Rapunzel didn't even blink. She just shrugged.

In the mirror Rosalina raised Peter's knife. Rapunzel was climbing out of the window when Rosalina plunged the knife into the mirror. It shattered. Rosalina fell forwards through the mirror and landed on the floor of the tower. Dead. At the same moment Rapunzel collapsed and fell out of the window. Lily falling out too.

"Lily!" Harry yelled and ran forward.

Lily was hanging onto the windowsill below the window. Rapunzel was on the ground below. Dead. Harry reached out his hand and grabbed Lily's. He started to pull her up. The windowsill snapped off. Harry grabbed her other hand and finally pulled her up. Grabbing her waist he pulled her through the window.
