Chapter Nine: Split Up: Part Four – Tancred

Tancred groaned.

"What the hell?"

He stood up. His head spinning, he looked around. No one was in sight.

"Hello?" Tancred called out.

"Hello?" Came an Echo.

"Echo!"

"Echo!"

"Yodelay-yodelay-yodelay-i-hoo!"

"Yodelay-yodelay-yodelay-i-hoo!"

"Hmm…" Tancred scratched his head, "Guess I'm alone."

Then he heard a faint noise. It sounded like…singing?

He walked towards the source of the voice. He tore back some bushes and saw a clearing with a single, fairly short tower in the middle of it. There was a single window but no door.

At the window, which was at the top of the tower, a girl with golden hair was singing.

It looked like she had long hair.

Tancred snapped his fingers. He knew who she was. Well…he didn't exactly remember the name but he remembered that she was that girl with the really long hair that the knight climbs up to rescue her.

Maybe if he rescued her, she'd tell him where his friends were. Surely she would've seen them if they were in the same area from her high window.

Tancred decided to try getting her to put down her hair so he could rescue her like a knight.

"Ahem" he cleared his throat, "Romeo, Romeo, let down your hair!"

……….

"Err…wait…I mean…um…Rapoodle, Rapoodle, let down your hair – err…wait…I mean…uhh…"

"IT'S RAPUNZEL, YOU IDIOT!" The beautiful girl screeched down at him.

"…I knew that…" Tancred said sheepishly, "So…uh…Rapundoodle…"

"RAPUNZEL!"

"Err…Right…Rapunzel…let down your hair"

"I don't think I will."

"Why not? You'll be rescued!"

"Be rescued? By a bimbo like you? I think not. LOSER!" Rapunzel screeched, "Please. I'd rather die!"

Tancred got out a pocketknife and threw it at Rapunzel. It hit her in the heart and she died. Tancred and the rest of the fairytale world cheered that Rapunzel was dead.

Only joking.

Tancred glared angrily at the cackling bitch. He raised an eyebrow when she started snorting.

Tancred started walking away.

"Wait!" The bitch called after him, "You're hot! Don't leave me!"

She only liked him now because he was rejecting her and she thought that was cool (Rapunzel is one messed up girl…she has issues!)

Tancred just kept walking as she screeched after him.

She sighed.

"Oh well." She sighed again.

She turned and all the objects in her room seemed to resemble something about Tancred. Being the messed up girl that she is, she began making out with all her objects. Even her cat (Poor Kitty!)

Tancred came across footsteps. Following them, he found a very disturbed looking person.
