Not my biggest chapter ever or my best. I'm sorry. :( Thank you so much though for your comments! Means the world!
"Rapunzel, I don't know what you were thinking leaving the tower." Mother Gothel said, pacing around Rapunzel.
They were now back up in the tower Rapunzel had spent her life trapped in. Rapunzel didn't know how she got up there, but she was. It felt distant, and not at all like her home had previously felt.
Rapunzel's head fell down in shame as she muttered "I'm sorry, Mother"
"Rapunzel what did I say about the mumbling!" Mother Gothel snapped, making Rapunzel, and the man standing in the corner jump.
The man in the corner stood up more straight contemplating what to say, "Gothel. Don't forget to introduce me"
Gothel ignored the tall man that was so thin and pale he looked ill. "You're just all out trying to disappoint me, aren't you Rapunzel" Gothel accused.
"No not all Mother!" Rapunzel said in a panic. "I heard you screaming and I panicked so I went after you!" Rapunzel said tears welling in her eyes. "Mother I didn't mean to disobey you, I thought you needed help"
"And you thought that a weakling like you could help me?! Rapunzel look at you! The only thing scary about you is that thing attached to your head!"
Rapunzel furrowed her eye brows. "What thing?"
"That thing you call you face!"
The man groaned loudly. "Gothel!" The man said impatiently. "Our deal!"
Mother Gothel sighed, rubbing her temple. "I haven't forgotten, Pitch"
The man stepped out of the corner, letting Rapunzel get a better look at him.
"What deal, Mother?"
"Rapunzel! This doesn't involve you!" Mother Gothel shouted.
Pitch put his hand up towards Gothel, indicating her to hold her tongue. "Rapunzel, do you know anyone by the name of Jack Frost?"
"Jack Frost?" Rapunzel asked Pitch curiously. "Merida told me about him…" Rapunzel then whispered to herself.
"Ah! So you do know him! Great! Where is he?" Pitch asked eagerly.
Rapunzel bit her lip nervously, looking the man up and down, before crossing her hands stubbornly. "I'm not telling you anything until I know who you are."
Pitch sighed, running a hand through his jet black hair tensly.
"Rapunzel you will tell us everything you know about this boy now!" Mother Gothel demanded, stepping in.
"But Mother-"
"Now, Rapunzel!" Mother Gothel interrupted Rapunzel's protest.
Rapunzel stuttered nervously, while the two adults stared her down intensely. "I… I haven't met him yet"
"God damn't!" The two adults shouted in sync as they continued to curse.
Once Gothel had calmed down, she took Rapunzel by the shoulders and looked her dead in the eye. "Rapunzel this is your chance to make it up to me."
Rapunzel nodded understandingly.
"Find out everything you can about this boy" Gothel instructed. "Then report back to us"
Rapunzel looked around the room as if trying to find an answer. "Does this include the others?"
Mother Gothel was takenaback by the question. "Others?"
Rapunzel nodded. "Yeah, Merida and Hiccup. Merida and I just found Hiccup actually" Rapunzel said with a shrug.
Mother Gothel looked past Rapunzel and at Pitch, as they exchanged looks of curiosity and determination.
"Yes, them too"
"And how am I supposed to get back to them? Are you letting me out again?" Rapunzel asked.
Mother Gothel laughed viciously. "Oh of course not Rapunzel, that's demented! This is just a dream. It's still real though. We couldn't find you so we are contacting you through here" Gothel explained.
"We?"
"Pitch and I, darling. Each day is a waste, Rapunzel, just remember that. We need as much information as we can get, Pitch and I don't have much time and frankly neither do your friends."
Rapunzel looked at her mother in shock. "What do you mean we don't have much time?"
Before Mother could answer, the tower slipped away from her hold, as did her mother and the sickly looking man Pitch. Instead a dark, cold, gloomy, forest setting was exchanged from her warm tower, and where her mother stood, was replaced by a red head with crazy hair, shaking her violently shouting 'Rapunzel!'. Where Pitch was standing was replaced by a boy with brown hair in his face.
"Hiccup! Merida!" Rapunzel shouted eagerly.
Merida quickly hugged her friend making it hard for Rapunzel to breath, meanwhile Hiccup looked at Rapunzel shocked.
"I never introduced myself" Hiccup said dumbfounded.
Rapunzel gave a smile to Hiccup and a shrug. She was struggling to breath but she didn't care. "I guess it came to me in a dream"
Once Merida had let go of her friend, she looked at Rapunzel with worried eyes. "Where did you wander off?"
Merida searched Rapunzel's eyes for an answer, but her eyes seemed vacant.
Rapunzel's eyes were locked on some air that was placed gently beside Hiccup. Rapunzel stood up neatly, brushing Merida off her. Merida fell to the floor with an OOF and a squeal.
"Jack Frost" Rapunzel said out loud, walking slowly toward the Winter Spirit, eyeing him curiously. "That's you"
Jack looked at Rapunzel in complete amazement. She could see him too?
"That's me" He breathed. "That's me" He repeated softly, and quietly to himself. It was as if he was trying to convince himself of his existence.
Hiccup and Merida exchanged weird looks with one another before turning back to the couple.
"Well I don't know about you but I don't feel like being a wolves snack tonight!" Hiccup shouted to Rapunzel and Merida.
"Yeah, I must say, Hiccup does have a valid point" Merida said grabbing onto Rapunzel's wrist and pulling her away from the myth named Jack.
Hiccup and Jack followed behind Merida and Rapunzel, not looking at each other. Hiccups mind was searching for an explination as to what just happened. Maybe Merida and Rapunzel agreed that to freak someone out, they would pretend to see a none existing person. That had to be the reason why. There wasn't another logical explination.
Jack's mind was stuck on Rapunzel. She was gorgeous and mysterious. Why would anyone of that such be Merida's friend. She was nothing but a brat and a pain!
Quickly Jack's mind went back to Rapunzel. She should have a comfortable bed to sleep on, right? Jack quickly took off into the sky, flying above the trees of the forest, looking for a town or city near by.
"This way!" Jack shouted to Merida, Hiccup and Rapunzel.
"Come on!" Merida shouted, sprinting off with Rapunzel and a very confused Hiccup following behind.
I think the only thing good about this Chapter is Rapunzel's 'dream' like thing! Ideas? Thoughts? Leave them in the comments below please! And finally the plot is kicking in! XD
