Chapter 2: Dear Diary, I Met the Boy of My Dreams Today

(Earlier that day)

"You know dear," A woman's gentle voice called out. "You don't have to skip school to stay here and look after us."

"Oh. It's no problem, mother," Rapunzel called back as she entered her parents' bedroom with a tray carrying two bowls of steaming hot soup. "It's only for a day and I don't mind."

"But Rapunzel, we know how much you love going," her father argued as he took one of the bowls from her. "We can take care of ourselves."

"But you shouldn't have to," Rapunzel said with a smile. "Besides you two are more important to me."

"We love you very much dear," her mother said clearly touched at her daughter's words.

"I love you more," Rapunzel said without skipping a beat but frowned when she saw her father wince and hold his palm to his right temple. "I'll go see if we have more Tylenol."

Rapunzel hurried downstairs and went into their store room and opened the medicine cabinet. She dug through all the different tablets and icky tasting medicines but didn't find what she was looking for. She huffed and ran upstairs again into her parent's room. "We're out of Tylenol. I'll go to the drug store down town and get some."

"You shouldn't go there by yourself Rapunzel. I'll come with you." Her father placed the empty bowl on the nightstand next to him. His daughter sure knew how to make a mean chicken soup. He began getting out of bed but couldn't help but grimace. A gentle hand on his shoulder made him look up at a smiling face.

"It's okay," the golden haired girl smiled; despite the worry she was feeling on the inside. "I think I can handle a simple trip to the store, dad. Just sit back and relax. Listen to some tunes, watch tv… I'll be back before you even know it."

"Well, alright…" Her father said unsurely. "But if you're not back in 10 minutes I'm coming to look for you."

"Make that 30, dad." Rapunzel laughed. "I'd have to be a superhero to be that fast."

"Be careful, Rapunzel. And wear a sweater dear, it's chilly out," Her mother called out as she saw her daughter leave their room. She looked at her husband and sighed softly; a silent understanding passed between them. They both knew whatever this sickness is- It's wasn't normal. Medicine isn't going to help them; they were scared-

-Scared for their beloved daughter.

What would she do without them?

Where would she go?

Who would look out for her?

What would happen to her…

Rapunzel dashed down the stairs once again; hurriedly putting on her pink coat. It was chilly out today; as it had been a couple of days ago since the bizarre storm. She had to be fast- She didn't like to see her parents in pain. She wasn't old enough to drive so she would either have to walk or take the bike. She hadn't ridden that thing in years. It would be rusty for sure but she had no choice. It was the fastest way to get to the store and back. Just as she was about to close the front door, her cat came up to her and meowed.

"I'll be right back, Pascal. Take care of Father and Mother for me." She said as she closed the door and locked it and went to the side of the house to the shed.

She understood her parents' worry well. With all the people that went missing recently, who wouldn't be worried? Even a few police officers went missing for god's sake! They suspected the Frost kid of course. But they were just silly rumors that she refused to believe. But one thing was for sure; something weird is going on in the town.

Rapunzel saw her old bike hidden beneath a dusty old blanket. She pulled the sheet off and sighed. She was right, the thing was rusty. In fact, saying it was rusty was an understatement. The pink paint job was barely visible under the reddish brown dirt and cob webs that stuck to it. The spokes stuck out in different places of the wheel. Oh yeah… Now I remember why I hadn't used it. Father said he would fix that but never actually got the time to do that. Her father didn't want Rapunzel hurting herself with the pointy spokes. But she was older now. She knew how to handle it. Since either her parents or the butler just drove her to wherever she wanted to go, she didn't have to use it anyway and eventually forgot about the thing. Their butler was unfortunately not here at the moment to assist her. Great timing she thought.

Rapunzel dusted the cycle as best she could and brought it out of the shed. It didn't look so bad now. She adjusted the spokes so that it wasn't sticking out. She couldn't do much about the thicker ones so she just bent that slightly inwards. It would have to do for now… At least that way it'll be a bit safer than before and wouldn't hurt anyone else.

"Well, here goes nothing…" She whispered to herself and sat on the less than comfy seat. She hadn't realized how tall she had become in such short years. When her parents bought the bike it was bigger than her. She had to stretch her legs to just touch the ground but now? She had to bend her legs awkwardly just to sit on it. Great… I'm gonna look like a circus clown now. She only hoped no one would snap a picture of her while she rode it.

Rapunzel rode the bike as fast as she could and didn't care how funny she looked right then. The streets were surprisingly empty. She began feeling very uncomfortable and almost turned back. No! Her parents needed her. She wouldn't simply just give up. What is she afraid of anyway? There's no one around… or maybe she was afraid because no one was around.

It felt eerie.

Rapunzel sensed something following her; something behind her. She ignored it and kept riding forward. The sudden sound of trash cans falling over each other made her stop and turn around abruptly. Her heart jumped into her throat.

"Meow…"

A black cat.

It was just a black cat. It looked at Rapunzel with its mystical emerald marbles before hissing and running away back into the alley. The girl with the golden hair placed her hand on her rapidly beating heart to calm it down. She couldn't bring herself to chuckle at her jumpiness. She shook her head and turned around again just to be met with a corpse's face. Its eyes were milky and mouth hanging open.

Rapunzel yelped in surprise and fell off her bike. The creature tilted its head, it's clearly a woman; or was a woman because whatever it was now- it was definitely not a woman. It wore a casual green t-shirt that hung off of her thin bony decaying shoulders and it also wore discolored jeans. One of its ankle's was broken. She had a huge chunk of flesh missing from her forehead.

Rapunzel used her elbows to move back slowly but the creature let out a low growl and launched itself at the golden haired girl.

Rapunzel rolled out the way just in time to see the creature's face hit the concrete ground. She looked around for anything to use to defend herself. She spotted her bike which was only inches away.

Rapunzel hastily crawled to her bicycle and pulled at one of the thick spokes. She was also keeping an eye on the wom—No, monster in front of her. The creature seemed dazed but then quickly snapped out of it. The horrid thing turned its ugly face to Rapunzel. She could have sworn it looked like a one eighty degree turn. She pulled at the spoke even harder, with even more desperation.

Its vacant eyes starred at Rapunzel. Its mouth was opening and closing; as if to call out to someone. It climbed lazily to its feet and threw itself at Rapunzel once more.

Rapunzel felt the spoke give but it was too late as the fetid creature was already on top of her; clawing at her clothes, her skin; her face. Rapunzel could do nothing but scream. No one was around! No one would come to save her! She was all alone! Who would take care of her parents now? I'm sorry mother, father… I tried…

Rapunzel was so busy rambling in her mind that she failed to notice how weak the clawing had gotten until it completely stopped. The scared-to-death girl looked at the zombie above her. Its eyes unseen and jaw slack. It was dead…? Oh My Gosh! It was dead! Only then did Rapunzel notice the spoke sticking out from under its jaw; the other end sticking out from on top of its head.

Rapunzel's shaky hands reached up and pushed the really-dead-this-time creature off her. Her pink coat was ripped to shreds so there was no point in wearing it now. She disposed of the coat on top of the thing and began walking stiffly towards the drug store. She refused to think about it. Refused to think about how she could have died a few seconds ago, refused to think about how she would never have been able to see her parents again, refused to think about how she just killed someone… or something… No! Stop thinking! Don't think. Rapunzel! You're alive and your parents still need the medicine! C'mon, only a few blocks away… Focus!

Rapunzel ended up running to the store. She was there before she knew it. She banged at the glass door yelling 'Let me in!' all the while before realizing that there was a pull sign attached to the door handle. She pulled the door open and stepped inside and let out a sigh. She looked around the store; it seemed that no one was there; the lights flickered on n' off at the far side of the store. She was sure this was a 24/7 open store so why was no one there?

Rapunzel shook her head slightly. She didn't have time for this. She had to get back to her parents. She looked down at her watch; nine minutes and her dad would come looking for her. She shivered at the thought of her father out here in his present condition. She sneaked herself into the compounding area where she was sure the drugs were kept and gasped. There lying on the floor was Mr. Doug's son. She knew him. He went to the same school as she did. He was just three years older than she was. Around him were a number of creatures that were similar to the monster she killed. They were… eating him. One of them was Mr. Doug.

Rapunzel brought her hands up to cover her mouth; out of shock or to stop herself from screaming she didn't know but she knew she had to get out of here. Rapunzel jerked back onto the cardboard cutout of Mr. Happy Tooth and it fell on a pile of toothpaste boxes and everything fell to the ground; creating a lot of noise. Her wide teary eyes looked down and then back at the gory scene in front of her. She saw six pairs of lifeless milky white eyes stare back at her.

Rapunzel didn't bother holding back the scream this time. She ran to the doors, pushed them open and ran as fast as she could into the woods to her left. This was the part of town that wasn't as developed as the other parts. Right now, she couldn't be happier about it. There are more chances that she could lose those monsters here than in open streets. She ran blindly ahead; medicine forgotten. She blinked rapidly to get rid of the moisture in her eyes. She didn't dare look back; the scuffing sounds behind her were enough to keep her from doing that. She just kept running.

Rapunzel ran for what felt like hours. She had run till she was a 100% sure she'd lost the dead-but-not-so-dead creatures. She took a break near a tree. Her legs were burning. She just wanted to collapse but she knew she couldn't do that; not here, not now. So she kept heading forward. She couldn't turn back. Not back to those horrible things.

Just when Rapunzel thought she was hopelessly lost, a house came into view. She practically squealed in joy before taking off towards it. She slowed as she neared the house. She had to be very careful. For all she knew this place could be crawling with those things too. She stepped in the porch of the house and rang the doorbell once.

Rapunzel waited for a few moments before ringing the doorbell repeatedly until she heard a 'Alright I'm coming' from inside. It sounded like a boy's voice. Thank God! Dead creatures can't talk… I'm safe. She told herself as the door opened revealing a boy with the most beautiful blue eyes she'd ever seen and white hair.

He looked sorely at her. He was clearly irritated; maybe even a bit hostile…and obviously annoyed. "Who are you and what do you want?" He asked; getting straight to the point.

"I-I'm Rapunzel" She breathed out. Sparing a sideways glace at the woods around them. "And I need your help."
