At that very moment, everything changed. The skies were no longer gloomy, the sun was just starting to come up, and it was no longer going to be covered by dark clouds and fog. Sapphire, Daniel, and Kicko looked around in awe. Some of the village people went out to see if everything was okay, but when they saw Sapphire standing there, they knew she was the one, the one who had just saved them. They started to clap and Sapphire stood tall and strong knowing that she had saved their home.
"You did it Sapphire, uh I can call you that now, right?" Daniel came up behind and hugged her.
"Yes, yes you can Princy. I kind of like that better than 'Anne' has a cute ring to it."
"I knew you could of done it, no matter what. Even if you threw that tantrum that you did last night."
"You know I'm sorry about that." She stuck her tongue at him.
"It's okay, it's all in the past."
She gasped, "come on, lets go check on our parents," she grabbed onto Daniel's hand and ran into the castle.
They were just in time to see them transforming back into humans. Some of the grunting and stretching. The ghouls and guards were gone too.
"Look, it's our hero!" A male voice said as they all cheered and applauded to Sapphire.
Sapphire smiled.
"A true princess!"
Sapphire smiled again, wow I'm really a princess. Never would have I thought that I would ever been royalty. She thought.
"Annie!" Sapphire turned to see a familiar face, it was Bethany. "Annie you're okay!" She hugged her tight, "I'm was so worried about you, you were gone and you weren't returning my calls or text and then all of a sudden I got kidnapped and then that's all I remember, but oh Annie it's so good to see you, and nice outfit." She hugged her again.
Sapphire smiled, the thought of seeing her best friend again made her really happy, "Thank you, it's vintage," she winked and they both giggled, "Bethany I missed you too, but I'm glad you're safe now."
"Hey, but what is this? Where am I? And why did that person just call you a hero?"
Sapphire smiled and looked down, she realized it was too long of a story to tell Bethany so she cut it down short, "I just slayed a dragon, saved their home, and finally found out where I come from."
"What?! You just-Anne, you're crazy!"
"Oh and one more thing, my real name is Sapphire, long story, but I hope I could tell you everything one day."
Bethany just gave her a blank stare. Then she scrunched her eyebrows together when she saw two people approaching them. Sapphire turned around to see who she was looking at.
"It seems like they want you," Bethany said.
"Those are my parents, my real parents," Sapphire said.
Rapunzel and Eugene smiled at her, and when Sapphire saw them smile, she ran into their arms, hugging them and never wanting to let go. She finally has a real family and knows the truth about them, she couldn't ask for anything better.
"I'm sorry for not believing in you," Sapphire said softly.
"It's okay," Eugene said as he petted his daughter's hair, "we're together now."
"And we'll always be, nothing will tear us apart." Rapunzel added.
The three of them felt tears coming down their cheeks as they huddled together. Daniel and Kicko watched them as they finally knew that everything will go back to the way it was.
