Chapter 7

Rapunzel's P.O.V

He had no right to talk to me that way, but I set him straight. I seemed very brave, until the shuffling in the bushes. I had to make an embarrassment out of myself by hiding behind the tree, thinking that a cute little bunny would be an evil thug after my hair, like mother said.

Mother… She warned me to stay away from the woods because of those evil people out there, but so far it seemed adventurous. So was she lying?

I noticed we've been walking on this path for awhile and haven't said a word. That reminds me, he called me 'Miss' earlier because he didn't know my name, maybe I should tell him my name. That way we can get to know each other, better.

"My name is Rapunzel." I glance at him out of the corner of my eye.

I see he looks back at me confused. "What?" I feel nervous.

This usually doesn't happen when I'm around Mother.

I grabbed a piece of my hair and mess with it. "My name is Rapunzel." I say again trying not to act the way I feel, but fail miserably.

I notice he's still staring at me.

I let go of my hair, "Well, it's been awhile since we talked and you didn't know my name. So, I thought I should tell you." while I explained.

He blinks like he's still confused then the silence fills the space. For some reason, my inner self hated the silence. "What's your name?" I decide to break it.

"Well…" He seemed like he was thinking about it, while looking away.

"I thought it would be good to know your name, since I told you my name." I explained.

"My name is Pitch." He looks back at me as I stare back at him.

Pitch? I remember that name from my dream… He's the nightmare king, but right now…

"Pitch? Hmm…" I stare at my feet. "That sounds like an interesting name." And it did.

That didn't sound like a common name someone would hear, yet I don't really know other people, so it sounds fine to me.

I look to my right again, expecting him to be there and I notice he's behind me when I look back. "What's wrong?" I asked him confused.

"Did you hear that?" He asks in wonder.

"Hmm?" Hear what?

I put my hand over my ear, to make sure he isn't crazy. "It won't take long; she's got to be here somewhere." I feel my heart pound from fear as my body jumps.

They are coming this way. They are after me.

I feel his hand grab my arm and he tosses me into the bushes, causing my back to hit the tree's bark. "Ow, that smarts…" I whisper to myself as I rub my back.

I realize my hair is still out on the path, I decide to grab it so they won't notice anything suspicious. Once he comes in, I drop all my hair, which I collected, on the grass.

I was angry. I know he didn't want them to see me, but why did he have to toss me in like that?

"Hey! What was-" I didn't get to finish my question, because his hand covered my mouth.

He presses a finger to his lips. "Shh," Then moves it away. "They will hear you."

I know they will hear me, but why is he hiding too? They won't see him.

I nod anyway.

"Are you sure she's here?" One guard says as the other guard passes us.

He stops in his tracks and turns to look at him. "She has to be around her somewhere." Then he walks again.

"I hope so, because if not, we should walk back with the others." He walks behind him.

"Fine." The other guard says.

Time goes by as the coast seems clear, before he moves his hand away. We soon just stare at each other. I look into his gold eyes, remembering my dream where Kozmotis kissed me and touched me. With those same gold eyes looking back at me.

Something in me wants to do that.

"Um," I decide not to as I break the tension. "We should probably get going." I get up and dust the dirt off my dress.

"Yeah" I hear him say behind me.

I walk back to the path as he follows me.

Feeling this way wasn't the same way I felt with Jack. It feels like something more than I felt ever before.

We've been walking for some time and I've never felt more excited than ever. I bet we are getting closer to see the lights.

But, my hope was drained when I heard voices. "Guys, guys!" I hid behind the tree as he hid next to me.

"What? What is it?" I heard a deep voice ask.

"Look at this?" I moved my head and saw a small person, part of the group, show him a piece of paper.

A group of thugs.

They looked at it and their eyes grew wide. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what this means guys?" The guy with the deep voice said with a hook for a hand. "If we find the princess and return her to the kingdom, we will be rich!" They jumped up for joy.

Princess? Who is she?

I felt a finger tap my shoulder. I look at Pitch.

"I think I know a way out." I look where he's pointing to, and see a horse tied to some type of waiting post.

I look back at him. "How are we going to get on that horse without them seeing us?"

He looks at the horse in thought. "I think I have a plan."

We walk around the woods, to the back of the wooden house. I look around if the coast is clear; it is, until some random thug pops out.

"Hey, come back outside!" Some thug shouts inside the house.

"It will only be a minute!" He shouts back and then he does something I don't want to see.

"Ew, I don't want to see that." I know he's going to the restroom, but I don't have to see his…his thing.

"Don't pay attention to him. You know what to do." Pitch looks at me and I look back at him.

We nod.

I twirl my hair like a rope and sling it at the thug. It soon wraps around him.

Got him!

He looks at my hair confused. "What the-" I soon pull him into the woods and whack him on the head with my pan.

He knocks out like a light bulb. "Great!" Pitch smiles at me. "You must be a natural."

"Thank you." I smile back at him as I unwrap my hair from him.

"Now," Pitch looks back at the place. "Let's sneak up to the horse without making a sound."

I nod. It's easy for him to say. People can't even see him and if you can't see something that not there, you can't hear it either.

I walk quietly, to the house as Pitch follows. I grab the door with my hand and gently close it, so no sound can be heard.

"Nice work." Pitch says with excitement in his voice.

I smile back at him as I move slowly against the wooden wall. I look back at the horse, to see if the group is still there.

I sigh in relief as they are inside. "Let's break for it; they might be coming out right now."

I didn't understand what he meant, but I realize he's right when the door opens. "Hey! Where did you go?" I decided to run.

I hopped on the horse and undid its reigns very fast. "Hey!" I look back and another thug is running towards us.

"Let's Ride!" Pitch shouts as I whip the reigns down on the horse, making it go.

"Whoa!" I say as it goes fast on the path.

I've never felt so excited before. This day is just getting better and better.

Well, that's it for this chapter the next chapter, as you know, will be in Pitch's P.O.V and something good might go down.
