Here is chapter 3, I hope you enjoy it. I also decided to take Jackunzel lover1's advice and I made this chapter longer, but some of them might not be so people will have to understand that some are short and some are long.

Anyways here is my comments to the other reviewers:

Guest: (Sorry for the late review my computer is slow and it took 3 days just to see your review.) I think it will turn out as a great one :)

Thebabewiththepower15: Well, here it is and it talks more about her past life this time.

Including the part in her dream is kind of adultish, so WARNING! If you don't want to read it or you are bothered by it, skip, but you can read through if you want it's kind of short anyway.

I forgot to inform you that her dream is based of an AU, so anything can happen.


Chapter 3

Rapunzel's P.O.V


I promise I'll take you to the lights, He didn't mean it.

Do you really mean it, No, because he's a liar.

Yes, I swear in a heartbeat, LIAR!

Just remembering the promise he made, hurts so much. He was never going to take me to see the lights. He was just toying with me. Trying to make me happy by, giving me gifts, trying to make me forget. Well I'll never forget this day, the day that I found out that his promise was a lie.

I thought we were friends. I could tell that we were going to be something more than friends, but that's all over.

I get up and wipe my tears away. I know I can be stronger than this. Being a new independent woman is a big step of growing up. I breathe slowly in and out, calming myself down. Then, I walk over to the window and stare at the sky.

It still seemed blue enough that, it could be mistaken that it's the middle of the day, but I know that the day is over, for me.

I decide to go to bed early. I need to stop thinking about Jack, about me, and about us. None of that matters anymore to me. It seems like the world is a dangerous place that I don't belong in. I plan to stay in this tower because I don't want to see anyone besides my mother.

I sigh. Pascal looks at me worried. I let him hop off my shoulder and on my hand as I smile at him.

"It's okay, Pascal. I just need to clear my head with a little sleep." I walked up the stairs all the way to my bedroom and set him on the bed.

I lie on my bed along with my head and start to shut my eyes. "Good night, Pascal."

I hear him make a noise that signifies he says "Goodnight, Rapunzel" back at me.

Then I finally feel myself drift into deep sleep.


I wake up and see flowers surround me. Where am I, I thought. I sit up and look around and see tulips all around me.

I'm in a garden filled with tulips. A garden of tulips. I touch on purple tulip and sigh at how soft it feels against my fingers, like the green blades of grass outside my tower.

My tower! I look around and don't see it anywhere. Where's my tower, I thought.

I decide to get up and dust the dirt off, but something looks different. My dress wasn't the same dress I fell asleep in. It was more flowy and white. It looked like a ball gown, but bright.

I loved everything about it.

"Rai!" I look up and see a girl with back length brown hair, coming my way.

Come to think of it. My hair doesn't feel as heavy as it normally does.

She stops in front of me. "Rai, where have you been?" I was about to answer, but she interrupts me. "Mama and Papa have been worried sick about you."

I stare at her blank. "Who are you?" When I spoke my voice sounded different like I had an accent of some sort, something that I'm not familiar with.

She laughed at me. "Seriously, you got to be joking. It's me Julie, your sister."

I stare at her with the same blank stare. "Are you okay?" She asks me. "Are you sick?" I might as well play along with this.

"Oh, yes I'm fine. I just had a brain fog there for a minute." She smiles and grabs my arm.

"What a relief, come on." She pulls me along with her as I follow.

Then something crosses my mind. I realize that she has the same accent as me. I have no idea what's happening.


Once we get to the front gate, there are guards blocking the doors. "Halt, state your business."

"Don't you recognize us?" He narrows his eyes at her.

"You seem more like a trespasser to me." I hear her sigh. I notice she isn't wearing a royal crown.

She grabs something out of her pocket and puts it on her head. "Now, do you recognize us?" She pulls me to her side as I see her wearing a pink crown.

They gasp and kneel before us. "So sorry Princess Julie and Princess Raiponce."

Raiponce, I thought. I didn't even know if that was my name or not.

"Thanks." She smiled as they opened the doors for us and she, once again, dragged me in.

We passed by them and she finally lets go of my hand. "I didn't know you're a princ-"

She put a finger in my lips. "Shh, I don't want anyone to know about us."

Us? What about us, I thought.

"Wh-" I noticed she put her crown back in her pocket, but then she pulled something rolled up out of her pocket.

"Here," She tossed a jacket type robe at me. "Put this over your dress so no one knows your… you know…"

I nodded. I slip it on fast and tie the big strap around my waist while I put the hood on my head. She looks up and down at me.

"Perfect." Then she grabs my hand and we walk more.

"How much further do we need to walk?" She looks at me and smiles.

"Just a little further than we should reach our destination."

Our destination, I thought confused.

A few steps later, I notice a castle. "It's such a beauty."

"Sure is, that's our home."

"Our home?" She looks back at me.

"Yes, don't you remember?" I don't really know.

Once we got there, I noticed the guards were informed about us as they just let us in. When we walked in I heard someone say, "Julie! Where have you've been? Your father and I've been worried sick about you."

"Chill out, mother. I just went to bring Raiponce back. She left to go pick some flowers and it seemed that she stayed out in the heat to long, putting her to sleep."

I heard the lady gasp as she walked over to me. "It doesn't seem you got sunburned."

"I thought that was strange too." Julie said.

"Who cares," said a deep voice. "As long as they are safe and sound and no scratch on their skin, they are perfectly fine." The lady sighed.

"George you always say that about them, girls are that fragile, but they can still get hurt other ways." He huffs.

"Dianna they are fine, look at them. Do they appear hurt?" She looks at him then us.

"No."

"Then don't worry about it." She smiled at him.

"Now," Julie rubs her hands together. "Let's eat. I'm starving."


We ate a pretty good big meal I never suspected, but the arrangement of the silverware didn't make since to me, but Julie helped me. She told me that you start from the outside to inward. Once I did it, I got the hang of it. She also showed me the proper way to eat soup without slurping. You either move the spoon away from you or towards you and tip it in to your lips without sucking. Letting it flow into your mouth with grace is the proper way of it.

Once you are done with your food, dab your mouth with your napkin and that will signals the butlers to take away your plate, while the other butlers replace it with new ones. As for your cup, when drinking, you either hold it with grace, if it is shaped as a wine glass, or you hold the handle with your pinkie up, if it is a tea cup, so they know how fancy you are.

As soon as we were done with dinner, Julie took me up to my bedroom and she showed me that if she needed any help falling asleep, that I could knock on her door, as her room was next to mine.

"Thank you so much for helping me, Julie." She smiled back at me.

"You're welcome, Rai." She then placed a hand on my shoulder. "Now, you should get some sleep, because you have a big day ahead of you tomorrow."

I smiled back. "Will do." Then she started shutting my door.

"Good night." I heard her say.

"Good night." I say back.

Then I took off the robe and tossed it on the floor. I walked over to another door and opened it. It revealed to be a closet filled with clothes. I walked in and see what I could wear for the night, but I only ended up finding a pink flowy night gown that stopped at my ankles.

I put it on anyway, which felt very comfortable. I then shut the door to my closet and walked over to my bed. It looked like the same bed in the tower, but fancier.

When I laid on it, it would never imagine how soft it felt against my skin. It made me want to drift into a deep… deep… deep…

Tap. Tap. Tap.

That startled me awake. "Who's there?"

"Raiponce, it's me." I looked at my window doors that led to a balcony and saw a guy in a royal outfit.

I got up and walked towards the window. "Who are you?" He stared at me confused.

"Don't you don't remember me? I'm your lover, Kozmotis?" I had a feeling I did know him somehow.

That deep part of me wanted to let him in. I saw my hands move to unlock the door, I had no control of them, but it's not like I wanted to stop it either.

Once the door opened, he scooped me off my feet and kissed my neck as I moaned. Some part of me knew about this, I was very familiar by it and I liked it. Every part of it.

He walked over to my bed and set me down. He sat up and a stared into his gold eyes.

"I missed you." He brushed his fingertips against my cheeks, making my heart race.

"I missed you too." Then he pecked my lips and my body started tingling for more.

I felt his hand go up my night gown as he rubbed my thigh causing me to moan while he kissed my neck more. Then he moved further, but I grabbed his hand.

"I'm not ready, yet." He nodded.

"Sorry, I tend to get carried away." I smiled while sighing.

"It's okay." Then he kissed my lips again, but longer this time, more like we were making out, tongue to tongue.

Then his hand moved passed my underwear, passed my stomach, touching my breast. I loved every part of it.

I moved under his shirt and rubbed his chest while he moaned.

Then something strange happened. I wasn't in my room anymore. I was in a graveyard at night.

What am I doing here, I thought. I felt scared.

I heard an owl hoot and crickets chirp, but the fog was unsettling as it dissipated. The ground started shaking and black creatures started appearing grabbing my ankles. I screamed as I tried to run away, but more started appearing. I noticed I was wearing my white dress that Julie found me in while I was running for my life.

Then I heard a voice, a darker voice than I heard before. "You think you can run from us?" I look up and see the same gold eyes I saw earlier.

"Kozmotis?" He laughed.

"Kozmotis is gone, you are talking to Pitch Black, the Nightmare king." I felt fear through me, but it was dramatic because half of me knew he was still in there.

"Who are you?" I said anyway out of curiosity.

"Your worst nightmare." I screamed as he came closer to me.


I woke up from bed terrified, yet not at the same time. Who was he? What connections did we have together? Do I know him, I had so many questions on my mind and I don't know if I'll ever get them answered.

I look out my room and notice it's still daytime. Well, I might as well wait on mother.

I sat up so I could get up from my bed, but I felt something's presence behind my back. "Who's there?" I said. "Show yourself!" I grab something close to me and hold it up as a weapon. "I have this… small mirror… and I'm not afraid to use it!"

"Oh, really?" That same dark voice made me jump. "You really think that a mirror is going to hurt me?"

I see those same gold eyes like I did in my dream. "Yes, if that's the only way you'll leave this tower."

"Now, why would I do that?" He walked out of the shadows and he was very… very tall.

I had to tilt my head up to look at him. "Because…" I couldn't stop staring at him. His skin was grey as the dead and his hair was black as a crow, but there was something about that, that didn't seem scary. "When mother finds out…"

"Really? I'm sorry to inform you, dear, but your mother can't see me. Only you can." I shook my head.

"But, but that's not possible." He smiles at me.

"But, it is." I didn't understand.

"Who are you?" His smile spreads further.

"You might know me as the boogeyman, but I'm really a creature of the night, I like to scare children to fuel me, to make me stronger." He turns away and stares out my doorway. "I'm not your average scarer. Well, you see… little girl… I am your worst nightmare."
