Hello everyone!
I'm sure everybody wondered about the vision. You will find out in this chapter.
Chapter 10:
"A vision of what?" Rapunzel whispered, suddenly realizing she was lying on top of Rumpelstiltskin. He must have noticed at the same.
Rumpelstiltskin quickly rolled her off and he got up just as fast. Rapunzel barely had time to right herself before she was dragged.
"I can't tell you what it was about," Rumpelstiltskin looked spooked as he started pacing around forcing Rapunzel to follow along.
"Why not?" she asked in slight frustration at the golden green man.
He wouldn't stop pacing until she said those words.
"I just cannot! No more questions about it or you will find yourself in the dungeon!" Rumpelstiltskin yelled, his voice was like sharp glass.
Rapunzel shrunk back as best she could. What could possibly be so bad in the vision that he couldn't tell her?
Rumpelstiltskin shook and then held his head. His eyes closed.
"I love you forever more, my sweet Rapunzel," Rumpelstiltskin caressed her cheek softly.
Rapunzel closed her eyes at his gentle touch.
Rumpelstiltskin smiled genuinely at the beauty in front of him. Rapunzel's eyes held love and adoration.
"I release you. You no longer belong to me, Dearie," he said softly before kissing her lips.
Rapunzel wrapped her arms around his neck, "I don't want to leave. I want to stay here with you. Don't make me leave. Oh please, Rumpelstiltskin." She said after the kiss was over.
"It's your choice. I won't make it for you," he promised, "Me or freedom."
Rapunzel cupped his cheek, "I'll always choose you. I love you."
Suddenly that moment blurred into a new vision.
Regina the Queen stood in Rumpelstiltskin's parlor.
Rumpelstiltskin had pushed Rapunzel behind him protectively.
Give me the girl, Rumpel," Regina smirked, taking a step closer to Rumpelstiltskin.
"You only want her back because of the qualities her hair possesses," Rumpelstiltskin glared icily at the woman.
Regina laughed, "When Gothel came to me asking for help. Getting her precious daughter back with the magical hair I couldn't resist stealing her all for myself. So I did away with the woman and now Rapunzel belongs to me, Rumpelstiltskin. I have come to take what is rightfully mine."
Rapunzel held onto his arm fearfully.
"You will hand over the girl or there will be consequences to pay." Regina stepped closer until she was mere inches away from Rumpelstiltskin.
"Never," he snarled.
"Oh, I see how it is." Regina's smirk grew and it unnerved Rumpelstiltskin.
Before Rumpelstiltskin could stop her Rapunzel got out from behind him and got close to Regina.
"I am not going with you. I'm staying with Rumpelstiltskin at my own free will. No one can make me do otherwise. You won't win so why try?" Rapunzel was nearly nose to nose with the Queen.
Rumpelstiltskin was nearly having a heart attack watching his Rapunzel being so close to that evil woman.
Who knew what she would do to the girl.
Then Regina laughed wickedly, "Before the next full moon you will prick your finger on your lover's spinning wheel. You will fall into an endless sleep that will never be broken except by me." She told Rapunzel smugly.
Rumpelstiltskin's heart dropped when Regina cast something upon Rapunzel. The girl fell to the ground with a cry and just like that Regina had disappeared in thin air.
"Rapunzel!" Rumpelstiltskin cried out and threw himself down beside her fallen form. He cradled her in his arms delicately.
"Rumpel-," Rapunzel said softly and laid her head against his chest weakly.
Rumpelstiltskin never had a vision that didn't come true. This one was very surprising and upsetting. So he was going to fall in love with Rapunzel just to have her taken away by the evil Queen? He knew he couldn't dare tell Rapunzel. When she had asked him he had snapped out at her in fear.
Rapunzel waited patiently for her master to snap back to focus.
"Let's be done of spinning for today," Rumpelstiltskin said hastily as he remembered Regina saying she would prick herself on it.
Rapunzel reached over to it to release the golden thread to put it in the basket.
Rumpelstiltskin snatched her hand away from the machine as quick as lightning as if he were afraid of her touching it. "Please from now on. Do not go near the spinning wheel."
"But why?" Rapunzel was puzzled.
"It's for your own good," was all Rumpelstiltskin gave as an answer to her question.
And with that he led them off toward the dining area where supper was about to served.
Rapunzel had only recently discovered a cook Rumpelstiltskin hired part time. She was only there to cook the three meals and was off.
Rapunzel didn't question him again as they sat down at the table.
But Rumpelstiltskin's behavior was peculiar to Rapunzel. He fidgeted the entire time they ate and nearly spelt his wine all over the table cloth as his hand shook.
