Chapter 2
A groan escaped Rapunzel as she started to hear voices resembling her mother's voice. It was like she could hear her teasing voice saying "I love you". Her eyes fluttered open and as soon as her vision cleared she saw that she was in a strange looking room. She then tried to sit only to feel a sharp pain in her back. She took in the room around her, which was entirely made of wood. She noticed that her hair was all piled up next to the bed. Suddenly she heard a loud squeak with a violent cough as Pascal fell from her hair to the top of the bed. He was blue all over his body before turning green again.
Rapunzel: Oh my gosh! Pascal, are you okay?
She took the little chameleon in her hands, he took a minute before giving Rapunzel a reassuring squeak. Rapunzel sighed in relief as she cuddled him near her cheek. Then she felt a cold breeze coming from the window. She looked out the window to see strange looking buildings. She knew right then and there they were no longer in Corona.
Rapunzel: Looks like we are very far from home Pascal.
Suddenly, they heard the door opening and as soon as they heard, Pascal hid in Rapunzel's hair. The door opened to reveal a boy who looked to be around her age. He was carrying a tray with a plate of food and a cup of water. He stopped on his tracks when he saw Rapunzel.
??: Dad, she's awake.
In a panic, Rapunzel backed up slowly but ended up almost tripping over.
??: Whoa. Hey, hey I am not going to hurt you.
Rapunzel, still scared, kept her guard up not knowing if she should trust him or not.
Rapunzel: Who are you and where am I?
Not breaking eye contact with her he slowly put the tray down on a table near him.
??: Right, where are my manners? I'm Hiccup and you're in Berk.
Rapunzel let her guard down just a little as she raised an eyebrow at the sound of his strange name.
Rapunzel: Hiccup?
Hiccup: Great name, I know. But it's not the worst. Parents think a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls. Tch. Like our charming Viking demeanor wouldn't do that.
Rapunzel giggled a little bit as she let her guard down a little bit more.
Hiccup: So, what's your name.
At this point Rapunzel's fear had vanished just like that. She smiled at him.
Rapunzel: I'm Rapunzel.
Just then a gruff voice spoke from behind them.
??: I see yer finally awake.
The two teens turned to see a broad built Viking with a large red beard.
Hiccup: Rapunzel, this is my dad Stoick The Vast. He's the one who found you near the shore of Berk.
Stoick: Consider yerself lucky we found you otherwise you would've frozen to death.
Rapunzel: Thank you.
Rapunzel gave him a grateful smile, then Stoick turned to her long inhuman hair. Rapunzel grabbed a string of her hair protectively, she knew she couldn't tell them about her magic hair she knew that they'd cut it and sell it.
Rapunzel: Uh... I've had it this way my whole entire life. I like this way.
Stoick: ... Very well, But if it gets in the way around it will be cut. Understood.
Rapunzel gulped and nodded in agreement.
Stoick: Good. Now tell me, where are you from?
Rapunzel: I'm from Corona.
Hearing this Hiccup and Stoick's eyes widen as they exchanged glances with one another, leaving Rapunzel confused.
Rapunzel: Is something wrong?
Stoick:(Sigh) It seems you are very far from home.
Rapunzel:(Confused) What do you mean?
Hiccup: Oh boy, Corona is way far south from Berk. It looks like the currents dragged you all the way up north.
Rapunzel:(Panicking, in her mind) Oh no. Oh no. I am very far from home, what will if my mother goes back to the tower and I am not there! I have to go back! (Speaking) I have to go home.
Stoick: And we will but first we have to go on voyage to take care of some... pests. After that we'll get you home. Until then, you'll have to stay for a few days even weeks.
Rapunzel looked in disbelief but nodded in agreement. Suddenly Rapunzel felt a cold breeze up her spine and shivered in response.
Stoick: I almost forgot...
Stoick opened a drawer and grabbed a pile with warmer and clean clothes. Then he gestured to Hiccup to leave the room.
Stoick: We'll leave you to it. Hiccup will show you around Berk.
As soon as he said that he left the room. Rapunzel looked out the window again she was so far from home yet she felt somewhat relieved to be out of the tower. Who knows? But she'll have make the most of it while she's here.
