Anyway the size may be small but it contains big things. :p
Chapter 14:
Rumpelstiltskin could tell Rapunzel was exhausted by the time they got back to the mansion. Her feet were nearly dragging. A thought of carrying her crossed his mind but he thought better of it. Not knowing what her reaction would be.
Rapunzel wasn't used to walks like that. She had never set foot outdoors except twice and that included today.
Rumpelstiltskin chastised himself. He should have known and not had them walk so long. Of course she didn't say a word.
Wait…Rumpelstiltskin, when did you care so much about what others think. Especially her?
This shocked him. Never before had he really cared. That is since he became the Dark One and lost his son. Was he going soft for this girl? Had the kiss done something to his head?
Rapunzel wasn't going to complain or say anything but she didn't know if she could even walk to the dining room she was so tired. Her feet felt like lead. Not to mention her head was very heavy from having her hair pulled up to where it went to her back and stopped, being twisted and twisted.
She forced herself to be dragged along by Rumpelstiltskin.
She flopped down in a chair like a dead weight when the dining room appeared. She had never appreciated a chair more.
Helena as always had their food on the table ready to eat and still hot.
Rapunzel almost face-planted in her plate of chicken and potatoes if it hadn't been for Rumpelstiltskin pushing back on her forward to keep her from falling.
She ended up not eating much at all.
Rapunzel tripped up the stairs as Rumpelstiltskin led them to his room to go to bed.
Rumpelstiltskin was quickly losing thoughts of consequences as he watched Rapunzel go up the doors in front of him every two stairs she stumbled. Darn the consequences he thought as he picked her up swiftly in his arms.
To his surprise she didn't protest and simply pressed against him, face against his chest. It took only a few seconds to realize she had fallen asleep instantly.
He didn't know what to think of this new so trusting Rapunzel.
Rumpelstiltskin placed her on the bed gently trying not to jostle her. He snapped his fingers her day gown transforming into a nightgown. Hesitantly he undid her hair and took the clip out.
The rose immediately changed colors.
Rumpelstiltskin's eyes widened and he nearly dropped it as it flashed pink and flickered between pink, blue, and purple. Pink being the main color. He let it drop to the bedside table in shock, feeling his legs almost give way beneath him.
No it couldn't be right!
Whoever can tell me what the color pink means gets a virtual cookie!
Review!
Getting juicy yet? I am about to speed up the time a bit after this next chapter. Promise.
