Werewolfchick1299: I think this story will be the end of Ash but I'm working on another fairytale story on paper and then I'll type it up and probably post it. It should be more thought out and better then this one. Thank you sooo much for your review it made me smile extra big. :D And you'll have to wait and see about the N thing.

Love you all- Read on! (I apologize if this seems kind of like a filler chapter, I feel like it might be...)


Ash's POV:
The boat bumped into the shore and stopped. I assumed since it had magically sailed us here it would probably magically dock itself and we wouldn't have to worry about it floating away while we were still on it. Damian climbed out of the boat first and helped Nicole out then George crawled out and offered me a hand. I shot him a 'You're crazy if you honestly think I need help getting out of a boat' look and jumped onto the sand.
We all searched our surroundings, trying to figure out our location. It seemed to be some kind of island. The only thing besides a jungle, trees and more nature was a statue in the distance. I pointed it out to everyone.
"I suggest figuring out what that is." I trudged off towards the statue and the others followed behind. Walking in sand is harder than walking on pathways or grass and we were all becoming exhausted. by the time we had reached the statue I just wanted to take a nap. I glanced at the statue it was of a little girl and a lamb, the little girl pointed into the jungle at a pathway. The expression carved into her little stone face suggested I go down that pathway and I hurry.
"Look for Mary and her little lamb." I rolled my eyes at N's words. "Well follow the statue guys." I said loudly. The other three just stared at me like I'd grown an extra head. I rolled my eyes again, this time at them. Then I set off down the path that Mary so nicely pointed out for me, thanks statue.
We trudged down the trail until it split into a fork. In the middle of the fork another statue stood pointing to the right, this statue had a note sticking on the lamb's head though. I grabbed the note and read it.

Ashy-

Yay! Look how far you've come,

Only a bit more to go now dear.

Into the tower Rapunzel.

-N

Okay, this N person was going to far. Calling me Ashy and all these princess and fairy tale references are just insulting. I'm not as stupid or girly as those princesses in the stories, I'm much cooler and much more stubborn than those wimps. I stomped down the path that the stone girl pointed out for me. The others hastened to keep up with me as I took wide steps.
Walking quickly revealed our next location with in six minutes. A large tower was in the way of our pathway. I looked up and couldn't see the top because of the tree branches and clouds in the way of the top of the tower. I hoped we wouldn't have to go all the way to the top but being familiar with how much N likes to make me squirm, I figured we probably would. Yay stairs!I looked at the tower and couldn't find a doorway anywhere.
"What are we supposed to fly to the top?" I exclaimed in frustration. When I'd spoken it was as if it triggered something in the tower because it began rumbling. We all backed up staring at the skyscraper of a tower worried and concerned for our lives. What if that thing fell down on us? Although I suppose N wouldn't lead us all the way out to an island just to murder us so quickly.
The tower's bricks began moving in front of me until they disappeared into a round crevice, I assumed it was meant to be our doorway. Fantastic. I slowly stepped into the "doorway" carefully. The tower had a set of stairs in it and that was all it contained.
As everyone strode in behind me the building began rumbling and trembling again. I turned only to see that the hole was closing up brick by brick and rather speedily. Already it was half-way full. I tried to stop it, I didn't know what I was planning on doing but I charged forward, I refused to be trapped in a tall tower forever. One second I was plowing forward and the next I was falling down. Smack! I landed hard, my hands just catching me on time and saving my face. I glanced back for the item that had tripped me and noticed Nicole scooting her foot back to its origin, next to her other one. Finally a reason to hate her!
Nicole had tripped me! I couldn't believe what jerk she was. Why would she trip me in the first place? I couldn't comprehend the reason she wanted to keep us trapped in a dusty tower. Nicole hated dust. Maybe Nicole was-
"OOOH! What's that?" the high pitched voice of the evil tripping friend stealer echoed around us. My eyes followed her finger to what she was pointing at. It seemed Nicole was pointing things out a considerable amount of times on this trip. The thing Nicole was staring at so wide eyed was a message scrawled on the bricks that had just closed up. Even though it was darker I could still read the message. I squinted to make it out.

Rapunzel lived in the top of her tower.

The message was simple and clear. Fine, N wanted us to traipse up all those steps then I would. But only as long as N realizes that when we meet face to face, she won't like me much and she won't like my fist hitting her in the face much either. Grumbling about stupid stairs and magic moving bricks I began hiking up the staircase.
We walked and trudged and tread and walked some more up, up, up. I was becoming more upset, more tired and more eager to see N. Maybe N would be a guy and I could kick him where the sun don't shine. Or if it is a girl I'll pull out all her hair. With these thoughts dancing through my head I hurtled up the stairs at a much faster pace. After what seemed like forever the steep steps came to an end and there was a door.
I grabbed the door handle and yanked it open ready to see N and beat him or her to a pulp. However what was on the other side of the door stopped me. I just stood there gaping as Damian, Nicole and George ran into me. What the-


Hope you liked that chapter! (Don't kill me because of the cliff hanger!)

If you got any ideas as to whats going to happen next I'd love to hear what you think. Also I'd love feedback on this chapter and the story in general.

Pretty much that^^^ means PLEASE REVIEW!

While writing this chapter I listened to 5 songs on repeat: Fairytales by Sara Bareilles, Tell Me I'm A Wreck by Every Avenue (all time favorite song), Sail by AWOLNATION, Everybody by Ingrid Michealson, and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift (new song)
Just thought you might wanna check them out, if you do tell me what you think.:D
