Chapter 2
Can I call you Van?
Rapunzel sat in the cell thinking quietly to herself. Why was she there? Did she do something wrong? All these thoughts were tossed from her mind, as the youngest hooded figure came rushing toward her. They handed her a dish of food, but when she turned around to leave, Rapunzel called after her.
"Please, don't go," she called. "I need to know who you are."
"This should answer all your questions," they responded as she handed over a large book.
Rapunzel looked at the book of Corona prisoners with sorrow, "Before you go, to find you in this, I need your name."
They removed their hood to reveal a face covered in hair, dirty-blond hair, with bright pink tips. She swept her long hair out of her face and slowly answered, "Vanessa, my name is Vanessa"
"Wait! Van?" Rapunzel called, "Thank you!"
"Don't call me that, you haven't earned it," and with that, Vanesa left, her heavy black boots maintaining a fast stride. As she went upstairs and opened the door, her sisters looked at her expectantly.
"Don't associate with prisoners, or you'll get us all killed!" one of her sisters scolded.
"Yes ma'am," she responded quickly. With a sinking feeling in her stomach.
Rapunzel learned a lot about Van, sorry no, Vanessa, from the book. It was from that year, and said that she was currently thirteen, and originally arrested for stealing diamonds. She was in jail for three years, and barely escaped execution. Understandable why she would trap her here! But who were the other two? What happened to them? The book said she had no acomplaces, or family. They must be unrelated, besides, the book said she had no living relatives. So why were those two people against her? It was almost sunrise, someone HAD to notice how long she'd been gone, right? Well when they did, they would come looking for her, and when they found her here, wherever here was, they would take her home and her, warm, cozy, soft as a cloud bed. She lay down on her cot in an attempt to get her last hours here of sleep.
Upstairs however, was something that would definitely lower her spirits, no matter how impossible it seems.
Rapunzel awoke with a jolt as she began to see the hooded figures return. This time there was a fourth, being shoved, and held down.
"Let me go!" that one screamed.
"Shut up!" responded the one that clearly had to be Vanessa, "Your precious princess is trying to sleep."
They tossed the fourth person into a cell, and as they hit the ground, their hood fell down, revealing EXACTLY who it was. Rapunzel gasped as they locked the door, and after they had walked away she was still amazed.
"Varian!" she gasped.
Oooh cliffhanger! Have fun trying to sleep tonight! Come back tomorrow for more!
