Rapunzel's POV

"Jack!"

I can barely breath when i see him lying conscious on the floor. I kneel down next to him.

"Please don't be dead," I whisper to myself.

Then I see it. One side of his body is covered in black sand. It's like the gold dream sand that sandy creates but black, pitch black. Then it all clicks in to place.

"Rapunzel?"

Jack's blue eyes slowly flutter open.

"Jack. We have to get to North. He will..."

"Rapunzel," Jack interrupts "Rapunzel you have to go."

I look down at him in confusion. I'm not leaving him like this. I don't have anywhere to go either. I open my mouth to argue with him but he starts talking again and I don't want to interrupt him. Not when he might be dying.

"Pitch is going to come here again," He says, his voice getting weaker by the minute. "Rapunzel listen to me. I don't want you to get hurt."

"And I can't leave you like this."

"Punzie...I..."

Before he can finnish his sentence he cried out in pain. The black sand started to cover more of his body and he closed his eyes.

I couldn't see how this could be hurting him so much.

My vision blurred as tears lined my eyes.

I grabbed at his side, trying desperately to stop the black sand from completely covering him.

I know what the sand does. It's Pitch's version of the dreamsand. I can on imagine what Jack is going through. He is probably scared to death.

If i leave him here I think only 1 of 3 thing could happen.

1. North will come down and find him. He'll know what to do but I'm worried that if that happens it will be to late.

2. He become evil, like Pitch. That is unlikely as Pitch had tried to recruit him before. It didn't work of course and Pitch has no use for him any more.

3. He dies.

I don't see a way of me leaving that will work. I know that Jack is only trying to help me but I don't think this is the time for him to act heroic.

I grabbed a fist full of hair and pushed it against him.

Flower, gleam and glow

"Let your power shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt

Change the Fates' design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine"

I looked down at him. He was ok he looked better at least. All the sand was gone

"Rapunzel?" I heard him whisper to me. He still sounded like he was in pain. "I told you to go."

Why was he still in pain? It didn't make sense.

Then the door flew open...
