I just want to warn everyone that since I start school on Monday updates on
the story are going to take a little more time. I'm not sure how much
longer, must likely one chapter every two weeks, but we'll have to see.
Love to all of you--me
_Chapter 3: In which we discover more about the witch_
"Hags and harlots, wenches and warlocks, witches and wizards, ghosts and goblins this meeting of the Nefarious Villains Association will now come to order. The first order of business is dues, is anyone behind in payment Tabitha?"
"No ma'am"
"Very well then, next item on the list is the banquet coming up next month honoring Weird Sisters, for which we turn to the head, Samantha. Samantha, is everything on track, no problems?"
"Everything's going great. And it would go better if my mother would stop getting involve."
"Andorra, leave your daughter to plan the banquet, she's very talent and I need you for other tasks. I need you to organize the committee for the search of new members for next year. Jeanie, I going to need you to plan the Genie Convention coming up this winter. Now we proceed to the next order of business, new members for this year. This year's committee, please come forward to judge our applicants."
"Devilsin, Pandora, come forward. What have you done to be a part of our elite association?"
"Well sir, my neighbor's wife was sick and the doctor told them that only a syrup made from the rapiun plant could save her and he stole it from my garden. When he was about to leave I stopped him and made him choose between his life and their first-born child. He promised me their child, so today I come before the council as a proud owner of my neighbor's child."
"And what do you plan to do with this child now?"
"Lock him up in a tower, somewhere in a deep, dark forest and never let him see civilization."
"You may sit back down. Badenkohff, Rocky, step forward."
Our witch sat down in her seat, nervous but relieved. In her mind, she had done well. She had purposely left out the part about not catching him the first time because it would make her look bad. She could have said she let him get away with it the first time to lull him into a false sense of security, but then the council would have wanted proof that she knew he was going to have to come back again, and sadly she didn't have any. So she stuck with the story the way she told the council. Although they reviewed all the candidates today, she wouldn't find out for another week whether or no she made it. So she sat back in her seat, trying to think of what to do with her kid now, because surely if she became a member the council would want to know. Her child, just the thought of it sent a thrill through her, knowing she had accomplished it.
"Wait, I need a name for the kid. Name, name let's see here Tommy, Jack, Bill; no all those are too common for my child. Okay, an unusual name, unusual names Rumplestitlsken, Claude Billy Bunion, nah. Aha, I've got it, Rapunzel, after my favorite plant, the rapiun.", she pondered, "Now where to put him exactly, hmm. I've got it! There's that old, run-down abandoned castle in the Lost Forest of Darkness. I'll bet there still has to one or two towers still standing that I can store Rapunzel in. Now all I have to do is wait for this meeting to end, especially with that baby- sitter costing so much."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So for the next seventeen years of his life, Rapunzel grew up with the witch being the only other person he knew. He knew of no other life and no other people besides the witch, who as far as he was concerned was his mother. He grew up alone for the most part, because the witch didn't care for him, so he spent his time meditating, and became quite the scholar. The witch kept busy in the NVA, trying to insure her unsteady position. The witch's position was weak, solely on the fact that she often wasn't together enough to pull off the type of schemes the NVA was famous for. So Rapunzel's life was very staid, until he met another person.
Dum, di, dum, dum, duumm! Oooh, an exciting end to this chapter, don't you think. I have an idea, why dn't you review and tell me what you think of this chapter.
