Chapter XV

Rapunzel moaned softly, the rays of light hitting her face. She sat up and stretched, welcoming her new surroundings. It had been a week since she had lived with Merida and her family; but each morning was like new. Jack had been MIA a lot that past week. He had come by and seen her on their school breaks, but he was mostly gone. He said it was winter in the northern hemisphere and it was the holidays, so people expected more snow, but Rapunzel silently knew it was because of what happened between them.

Rapunzel knew Jack was worried about if he pushed his boundaries to much, but Rapunzel wanted to reassure him that it was fine. She never got the chance though. He would shortly visit her, peck her with a kiss, and then would fly away. She was starting to think he was maybe losing interest in her.

She tried to confide with Merida about it, but she said Rapunzel was being ridiculous. That Jack was in love with her and she had nothing to worry about. Rapunzel heard that Jack had been getting help from Elsa with winter since she was just as powerful as him, not as much, but just about. It was beginning to make Rapunzel really on edge.

They were basking in the sun during their school break what Merida pointed in the sky.

"Hey it's Jack!" Merida smiled. Rapunzel looked up and then back down. She was unhappy with him...

"Hey guys!" he smiled and landed softly next to them in a sitting position.

"Hi", Merida smiled and went back to her book.

"Hey Punz", he smiled at her. She looked at him, briefly smiled and went back to her sketch book. He frowned, but replaced it with a smile. He leaned over to kiss her, but she got up and walked away.

"Whats with her?" Jack asked Merida, his face contorted with confusion.

"Jack, it's kind of obvious", she rolled her eyes," You go at her, open her to this whole sexual world with you, and then you avoid her. She's hurt. She feels like you're losing interest in her. You've been putting her off and going galavanting with Else throughout the great white north."

Jack blushed when she talked about the sexual part, but then he felt like crap as Merida went on. She's right. I have been putting her off. God, I am such an ass.

He got up and flew after his girl.

Rapunzel wiped away a tear and plucked flower petals and tossing them in the small pond in front of her. She was on the outskirts of the school in a little pond area. She really liked it here. It was nice an peaceful.

"Rapunzel..." she heard and saw Jack walking up to her," We need to talk..."

Rapunzel huffed," Great. The four worded sentence that ends in heartbreak. Jack, save yourself the trouble. I know you aren't interested. Now just go away."

She turned her back and hid her tears from him.

"Rapunzel", he gasped in shock and flew over her to land in front of her. He kneeled down," Why would you ever think like that? I... I love you Rapunzel. What I felt between us in that bed... I was worried that you were mad I overstepped my boundaries. If Merida didn't walk in, I would have gone even farther. You drive me crazy Punz. I want to be with you all the time. The reason why I have been gone so much is because every time I go home, you're not there. I can't take it. It's to quiet."
Rapunzel teared up and smiled at Jack's declaration of love for her," Oh Jack..."

She jumped up and wrapped her arms around him. She planted a kiss on him and he smiled against her lips.

"You love me?" Rapunzel smiled.

"You know I do", Jack looked at her and his blue eyes scorched hers," And I know you love me."

Rapunzel smiled and kissed him again.

"We need to make our move Pitch", Gothel hissed at Pitch," Look at me! You promised you'd have her here with me!"

"Would you take it easy woman", he scolded her," I'm trying. She's getting stronger every day and her boyfriend's father is the leader of the reason why I am invisible... Why no one fears me anymore. This isn't as easy as I thought it would be."

"If you don't get here, then I will", Gothel flipped her cloak over here and disappeared into the night.


Rapunzel sighed with happiness into her pillow after a nice eventful day. After Jack had told her why he was gone for so long and that he loved her, things got... Heated. Heated to the point where he stuck his hands under her shirt and almost off, but she reminded him they were on school grounds and the only reason why they weren't being seen was because of the long grass.

She smiled remembering his hands on her body. She was being pulled into sleeping when she heard something. She sat up instantly and looked around her room. She didn't see anything. She slowly got out of bed and started to walk around, looking in dark corners of her room. She knew that Pitch was a master of deception.

"Who's there?" she spoke out. No one answered. She walked around her bed and stood in front of it. She was about to speak out again when a hand shot out from under her bed and grabbed her ankle. She fell and smacked her head against the floor.

"Ow!" she yelled and looked at the hand. There was a large man with red hair and an eye patch," Who are -!"

She felt a hand cover her mouth with a cloth. She breathed it in and she felt herself becoming faint.

"Finally!" the man covering her mouth said," This ones a fighter."

"You should see her when she actually fights", the one under the bed said, slowly scooting out underneath it. He was so large that it took him about 5 minutes to get out.

"Well it's a good thing you've been under there since she was in school, because you are about as stealthy as a horse on ice skates", his twin commented as he threw Rapunzel over his shoulder.

"Enough with your comments. We have to go. Her winter friend could be watching us", the twin finally crawled out," Let's go."

They carefully started to climb out of the windows and hop from the rooftops making their way to the grounds. Even though they were large, they were nimble and fast. They quickly made it to the ground and ran off into the night with Rapunzel.


"I don't care what it takes to find her!" Jack yelled at Merida's father and his guards," Find her!"

"Jack", North scolded his son," You will watch how you talk to the king."

"This wouldn't have happened if you just let her stay with us!" he yelled at his father. His father bowed his head and sighed. He was upset with how Jack was talking to him and the king, but he had a point. This would have never happened to her if she was still with them. Jack would never have allowed this to happen.

"We will find her Mr. Frost", Merida's father told him," Guards, spare no expenses. We must find her."

"Forget it! I will find her myself!" Jack shot up and broke through a stained glass window.

"I am terribly sorry about this", North told him.

"Dont' be. He's hurt. He doesn't know where she is", the king told North," He loves her and he doesn't know where she is."

"You really think my boy loves her?" North asked the king. He knew his son cared for her, but he didn't think he loved her.

"Without a doubt", he smiled," You can see it when he talks about her. Such fire in his eyes."

"Fire in my son?" North laughed," That's a rich one. Regardless, we need to find her. She's family now."

"Jack!" Merida shouted to Jack who was flying over her head," Stop!"

He looked down and saw a blur of fiery red hair. He lowered himself, but didn't stop flying. Just slowed down a bit.

"What do you want?" he yelled at her. He was mad at her too. The love of his life was stolen under her nose too.

"I want to help!" she yelled to her," Would you please come down here and talk to me?"

"No! I need to find her!" he yelled and kept flying.

"Jack, you can't do this alone!" she yelled to him," You know that! Now, if you really want to rescue her and find her, you would come down here and speak to me!"

He stopped abruptly and looked down at her. He sighed and floated down to her, but never landed on the ground. Just hovered.

"Fine. You're right. What do we do?" Jack asked.

"I asked all the maids and guards on duty last night. One maid said she thought she saw two large men climbing down from one of the rooftops, but when she looked again, she didn't see them. Just some dark shadows on the edge of the woods."

"Two large men?" Jack asked," Did she see any characteristics about them?"

"She said she thought they had redish hair and one had an eye patch", Merida was thinking of what she was told," Oh! And she said that they looked remarkably alike."

"Well jeese, for someone who didn't get a good look at them, she sure knows exactly what they look like", Jack rolled his eyes.

"My father thought the same and now she's being questioned", Merida smirked," We think that she might have been the one to let them in."

"So, twins, red hair, large, and one with an eye patch", Jack thought over about what Merida told him," Well it sounds like they know what they are doing when it comes to breaking in and out... They probably have a bounty out for them. Why don't we go speak to Corona's guards and find out who they have bounty's for..."

"That's a great idea. When we find out who they are, we will have a better idea where they might be", Merida told him.

"What are we waiting for!" Jack jumped into the sky," Let's go!"


"School is canceled today Hiccup", Hiccup's father Stoik told him.

"What? Why?" Hiccup asked his father. School was never canceled.

"It would seem that all the teachers are out", he told him," It would appear one of the students was stolen in the middle of the night."

No... It better not be...

"Who?" Hiccup asked is father.

"Something with punzel in it... What was it?" his father thought to himself. He looked back at his son, but his son was already out of the house, on his dragon, and flying into the sky.

"Hiccup?" his father yelled out the window, but his son was already gone into the sky," What's gotten into him?"


Rapunzel yelled again, shaking her chains that were connected to a rock wall," Get me out of here!"

"Would you be quiet", one of the twins smacked her across the face and she fell to the ground. She had been gone an entire night and already she was bruised a good amount.

"Stop hitting me", Rapunzel grasped the side of her face," Where am I?"

"None of your business", one of the twins spat out at her," We are just waiting..."

"For what?" Rapunzel asked.

"The people we caught you for", the other rolled their eyes.

"When will they get here?" Rapunzel asked fearfully.

"In about three more days", the other one answered, shoving food into his face.

Rapunzel looked up and saw a sliver of light coming from a crack in the cave they were in. She reached up, but her hand stopped due to the chain. She just prayed someone would find her...
