Break me out tonight
I want to see the sun rising anywhere but here
Come with me
Oh, this could be
The only chance we get we got to take it
Break Me Out – The Rescues
Chapter 6: A Time for Healing
Flynn's POV
"Her hair glows…" Flynn said in awe as he heaved himself up on to the grassy bank. He was astonished by the fact that Raine's hair had just provided their way of escape by…glowing? "My head hurts" Flynn groaned as he put his hand to his head and massaged his temple.
"We're alive!" Raine exclaimed gleefully as she stood up and began to walk away.
"Her hair…I can't believe…. Her hair GLOWS" Flynn continued to speak in shock. He looked to Estel for some sort of information but all he got was a menacing look from the little chameleon.
"Eugene?" Raine called but Flynn could barely hear her, he was too focused on trying to wrap his mind around this absurd idea.
"WHY DOES HER HAIR GLOW?" he shouted towards Estel.
Estel merely narrowed his eyes at Flynn, seemingly unimpressed by his reaction
"Eugene" Raine said impatiently.
"HER HAIR WHY DOES IT-"Flynn was cut off as Estel punched him in his arm, quite harshly considering he was only a small chameleon. "Well, OUCH!" Flynn protested loudly.
Estel simply rolled his eyes at Flynn and laughed quietly.
"Eugene" Raine repeated, beginning to grow exasperated with him.
"YOUR FROG JUST BIT ME"
"EUGENE" Raine shouted at him.
"WHAT?"
Raine's POV
Raine grinned at him smugly as she absorbed the fact she had managed to scare Flynn Rider so much with just her head of magical hair. "It doesn't just glow…" she said looking at him curiously to witness his reaction.
She saw him turn his head sideways to glance at Estel, who was smirking at him cruelly.
"Why is he smiling at me?" Flynn whispered weakly.
Meanwhile
Mother Gothel was furious as she hid in the shadows of the woods. She was waiting for Raine and Flynn to appear from the door which the secret passageway led out to. '
How dare she?' she thought to herself. She had given Raine clear instructions from ever since she was a child; she was never to go outside. Mother Gothel needed Raine in order to keep her young and what would happen if Raine left and she never saw and could ever find Raine again. Mother Gothel gasped as she thought about the consequences. 'She looked a little bit too friendly with that man' Gothel thought to herself. She had waited outside 'The Snuggly Duckling' and she had observed Raine and Flynn's behaviour, what if they had feelings for each other? What if they ran off together? What if Raine discovered her true identity? It was a possibility, Gothel had assumed that Raine would be going to see the flying lanterns and they took place inside the kingdom, near the palace. What if Raine found out the truth about who she was? Mother Gothel shook her head, no she would find Raine…she needed to to ensure that she would stay young.
Her thoughts were interrupted however as the secret passageway door flew open. She slowly started to move forward before she saw that it wasn't Raine and Flynn, it was two large intimidating men. She slowly began to retreat back behind the large boulder.
"I'll kill him. I'll kill that Rider" one of the men hissed.
"Cut him off at the Kingdom, get back the crown" his companion replied gruffly.
"Come on" was the response from the other man.
Mother Gothel smirked to herself as a plan began to form in her mind.
"Boys" she practically sang smugly as she stepped out of the shadows. "Perhaps you want to stop acting like wild dogs chasing their tails and think for a moment" she said calmly as she held the satchel containing the crown in front of her.
Both of the men pulled out their swords, glaring at her menacingly.
"Oh please, there's no need for that" Gothel murmured, rolling her eyes at their foolish actions. She threw the satchel down to them.
"Well if that's all you desire then be on your way." Gothel said as the men pulled out the crown from the satchel and looked at in disbelief. "I was going to offer you something worth 1000 crowns which would have made you rich beyond belief and that wasn't even the best part" Gothel said laughing. "Oh well c'est la vie, enjoy your crown…" she teased as she slowly began to walk away.
"What's the best part?" one of the men questioned curiously.
"It comes with revenge on Flynn Rider" she smirked at them as she watched them agree to help her. She was going to get that magic hair back, no matter what.
Raine's POV
"So you're being strangely cryptic as your wrap your magic hair around my injured hand" Flynn teased as Raine carefully wrapped her raven black locks around his hand gently.
"Ouch" Flynn sighed softly; even though she was being extremely delicate it still hurt his hand slightly.
"I'm sorry" Raine said softly as she stopped wrapping her hair around his hand. She looked up at him as she gently took his hand in hers. "Don't freak out" she said to him as she gave him a small smile.
Flynn's POV
Flynn gave her a quizzical look as he tried to understand what was going to do.
"Flynn…" Raine said and Flynn turned to look at her, gazing into her stormy blue eyes. "Just trust me" she said softly, trying to reassure him.
Flynn gazed at her, slightly surprised "I trust you…" he trailed off as he dropped his gaze to their entwined hands. He was surprised by how much he liked the feeling of her soft hand holding his gently.
Raine's POV
Raine smiled. She was so happy that Flynn trusted her even though she believed it had been her actions that they had almost lost their lives. She felt a blush creep up onto her cheeks as she tried to understand how he made her feel. Why was she so bothered about him trusting her?
She broke off her train of thought as she felt Flynn squeeze her had comfortingly. "Are you going to do anything sometime soon?" he teased, his eyes sparkling with laughter.
She allowed herself to give a small laugh; normally she would have glared at him. She sighed softly as she began to sing to heal his injured hand.
Flower gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Flynn's POV
Flynn gazed around in shock as Raine's raven hair began to glow with a bright white light, much like that of the moon. Part of him felt slightly fearful, it was something so strange and foreign to him. However the feel of Raine's soft hand holding his made him feel safe. 'But why does it?' Flynn thought to himself. As he looked around their campsite, gazing at her brightly glowing hair he saw Estel, whose face was illuminated by the white glow, he felt himself give a small smile as he saw Estel narrow his eyes at Flynn.
Raine's POV
Raine stopped singing as Flynn gazed at his previously injured hand in surprise, it had been completely healed. Raine saw his eyes start to widen and his breathing start to increase as he gazed at his hand in shock.
"Please don't freak out" she protested.
Flynn stared into her mysterious blue eyes and immediately felt a wave of calmness wash over him.
"Oh please!" he said a little shakily to start "It's your singing I have a problem with" he teased.
"That's is so unfair, my singing is-"
"I can't hear you right now; my ears have been dealt some serious damage! Are they bleeding?" Flynn joked with her.
Raine laughed as she elbowed him slightly in the arm. "You should be thanking me, not insulting my singing"
Flynn looked up at her as he gave her a small smile. "Thank you" he said softly as he gently held her hand.
Raine felt another blush creep up onto her cheeks. "You're welcome" she laughed.
