Rapunzel“I’ll see you, girls, at the festival! Bye!” I called out to the girls as Noah led me away from them. “Bye-Bye!” the girls chorused as they all smiled sweetly at me. I noticed as their eyes focused on my hair as I turned to leave.Everyone was intrigued by my hair. They all wanted to touch it. At first, I was shy, but the more they came closer the calmer I felt. It felt like that was my purpose and a sense of fulfillment took over me and even as Noah pulled me alongside him, I kept staring back at the little crowd behind us wishing it never stopped.I wanted to ask Noah so many things as we moved through the streets. Naturally, I felt he was going too fast but I stayed quiet. Since he said we were going somewhere we could rest, I would ask him all the questions there. I still felt like he was afraid of something. He kept watching our backs like some monster would appear and take us back to the castle long after we had left the fountain and the little crowd that had come to t
RapunzelDid mother lie to me? –I wondered in my head.“Rapunzel… I don’t want you to put things in your head. I just want you to be happy,” Noah said as he rubbed my upper arm. He was trying to calm me but all I felt was the impending signs of panic.It felt like a bomb of questions had just gone off in my head. No matter how hard I tried to understand the situation, another came up and it became another entanglement of issues. I was having a headache. I leaned on Noah and he gladly comforted me. I was confused beyond doubt about my own existence. Who was I? Did my mother lie to me? If the world outside was really that dangerous, how come she was always outside and not inside with me?Why did she lock me up while she went out as she pleased? Who was my father?All the times I had tried asking her about this, it was either she got really angry with me or she started crying. She had never truly given me and answer about who my father was.What if the Queen never died and the King is my
NoahI walked out of the room not just to get her food but to also be able to get a hold of myself. Ever since Laura had mentioned the possibility of Rapunzel being the missing princess I wasn’t myself anymore. My mind was going through denial. My heart refused to accept the signs that had always been there for me to see. Right from the very first day, I set my eyes on her I knew I had seen her somewhere. I thought her face was very familiar and I should know her. At the time, I couldn’t pinpoint where I had seen those bright blue eyes and such a shade of golden hair… but now I knew where I saw it.It was in the palace.The day I had gone to the palace to steal the crown from the guards, I had seen a picture of the princess for the first time, and for the first time, and I believed that she had indeed existed. Before that theft, I use to refuse to accept the story of the missing princess. I used to be certain that she had died. Maybe she also got poisoned like her mother or worst may
RapunzelThe sun was going down and the sky was golden as Noah held my hand and we made our way across the streets to where the ceremony was supposed to take place. My heart was fluttering with so much excitement, I couldn’t even bring myself to ask questions. I wanted to close my eyes and appear magically there. The lights have intrigued me all my life. It was like a magnetic pull that called unto me. In fact on nights when my mother left me all alone in the castle on my birthdays, the lights gave me comfort.“We are close,” Noah whispered as we took a bend I remembered taking during the day –it was the path that led to the river.I could already hear the murmurs of the people that already gathered there and I shuffled my legs faster. I could see the sparkles of light already forming in the distance and I felt my heart skip a beat as my excitement increased to a thousand folds.“They are about to start,” Noah said as we got to the river bank where the people were gathered watching as
NoahOur lips moved in sync in a dance of passion. I felt the emptiness in my heart fill up and I got taken over by emotion. I didn’t want to admit this earlier but I had fallen in love with Rapunzel from the very first day I met her. I couldn’t survive without her. If the King took her away, what would become of me?She broke away from the kiss and held my cheeks in her warm hands as her blue eyes searched my face, “Are you okay,” she asked in a small voice.I wanted to tell her to forget about it. I wanted to tell her that I was fine and all was well but I couldn’t bring myself to lie. My heart was shaking. This seemed like my last time with her. I broke."Please don't leave me," I whispered brokenly. Her eyes narrowed as she tried to understand what I was saying, yet all I could say was, "Please don't leave me."She cradled me in her arms offering me the assurance that I needed. She was there with me and that was all that mattered at that point.“I won’t ever leave you,” she said a
Chapter Nineteen: RapunzelNoah kept covering my entire body with kisses long after we had both had our releases and I couldn’t stop the glow that took over my face. I still couldn’t tell how exactly I felt for Noah but I knew I liked him a lot and I enjoyed every moment we spent together. It was the best feeling ever. He picked me up from the bed and took me to the bathroom and he washed me up. He was so gentle I felt like a true princess. When he finished, he carried me in his arms like a baby and laid me once again on the bed. I couldn’t think. My head was filled with rainbows and butterflies and Noah…I wanted to speak to him but I was tired. Sleep soon took over me as he ran his fingers in my hair. I wanted what he had said to me earlier. I wanted him to be the last person I saw every night and the first person that I saw in the mornings.By the time morning came, I was tired and worn out from imagining different scenarios for Noah and me. But a sudden fear filled me as I realiz
Chapter Twenty: Rapunzel“You can’t do anything to me Eva and you know it!” Laura exclaimed as she held my hand protectively. She glared at her and like she had remembered something, her eyes brightened up and she pointed a dangerous finger at my mother.“So it was you!” she snapped narrowing her eyes at her.“My family matter has nothing to do with you Laura, stay out of it!” My mother hissed as she came menacingly in front of me. She wanted to grab me but again, Laura prevented her.“What family Eva? What Family?” Laura was burning red with anger and my mother had her eyes wide open like she was seeing the devil right in front of her.I looked between the both of them wondering what was happening. I had to push thoughts of saving Noah aside and I started wondering how the two women in front of me even knew each other to begin with. I don’t remember introducing them.“You know each other?” I asked in a small voice as I watched both of them.“Rapunzel goes to the carriage outside, I w

“Mish! Get your ass down, dinner is ready,” my younger sister, Evelyn, shouted from downstairs. I came back from school three hours ago and I’ve been on my bed sulking and constantly resisting the urge to scream at the top of my voice.Mrs. Shantel and Mr. Brett? How long has that been going on under my nose? I stalked Mr. Brett well enough to have known. I sat up swiftly and stretched my hand to pick my phone from my nightstand. Impatiently, I logged into Instagram.Pfft, of course I’m not on Instagram. I logged in with my sister’s account. Being bullied offline is only the much I can bear, thank you very much.It didn’t take me much time to get to Mr. Brett’s profile. I stared at his relationship status and it stared back at me. It was boldly written SINGLE. Just to be sure, I wore my glasses and glanced hard at it. It still remained SINGLE. I searched for Mrs. Shantel’s profile and found out that she was married.“Then why the hell were you fucking someone not your husband!!” I scr
It was the early hours of Monday morning, 6:00am to be precise, and I was already in the cobwebby school basement, tucked away in the only neat corner. Of course, the neat corner of the basement, which I had turned into my niche, was cleaned up by me. You must definitely be wondering what kind of psycho cleans up the school basement to spend her mornings and what for! Well, to cut the long story short, it was my only means of survival. If I wanted to get through my remaining days in high school, then I had to do this. This was me doing what I did best, hiding away from my sworn enemy, traitor, rival, tormentor, give it all the name you could think of. Synonymous to those names is Kelly Parker. Kelly is the Queen bee of Beverly High. I hate her with all my heart, but she’s beautiful. Breathing-taking kind of beautiful, I’m not going to lie. I just hate her the more for that, because why should she be so perfect? Of course, she is the head cheerleader and she is dating Bruce Paschal,
Ariel's POV For two days after that, I waited for the man to show himself. It was almost like he purposely ignored me. When I realized that he wouldn't show himself unless something drastic happened, I waited for the guard that brought my food -food I refused to eat since I've been held in here- to appear. The moment he rounded the corner that led to my cell, I yanked off the pendant from my neck. I went instantly invisible. When the guard reached the cell and saw no one, the tray containing the food fell off his hands, and he let out a scream. Two more guards rushed in, probably thinking I managed to subdued their colleague. When they saw what he saw, they all trembled out of shock. "Report the incident to prince Eric right now!" One of the guards yelled to the other one that came in with him. That one nodded and rushed off to deliver the message. The guard turned to the one that brought me the food, looking at him in a suspicious way. "Did you let her off?" He asked."What the he
Ariel's POVIt felt like my ears just deceived me. I blinked once, then twice. I looked at the man who had just finished pleasuring me -the tingles and soreness between my legs were the testament of that fact- like he was out of his mind. And perhaps he was. Otherwise, why would he sprout such nonsense about arresting me? And that too for what? For stealing? Me?I looked at him and shook my head. Sure that I heard him wrong. I waited for him to take his words back, but he didn't. When a minute or two passed with nothing from him to refute his words, I lifted up my tied hands and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. The eyes he turned on me were so cold and stony, I shivered."Are you serious about arresting me?" I inquired from him. The river made a ripple effect and I was reminded of the fact that I was gone for too long. If I didn't return back to my room as soon as possible, there was every possibility that my father would find out about my disappearance. It that happen
Eric's POV "The real thing I have here could do a better job than that toy!" I shouted at her from the shadows. I watched as the toy fell from her hand because of the shock she experienced."Wh-who is th-there?" She sounded as scared as she felt. I saw her looking around in the darkness, probably thinking of where to hide from the predator that sneaked up on her. My first thought was to let her suffer a sudden heart attack, just as she had done for me. That would be the easiest revenge I could take on her. But my tratious body refused to comply with that act. How could it? Somehow, I found the courage to get out of the palace after three days of hiding in my room. My courage wasn't bold enough to leave during the day when I could feel all eyes on me, so I did it by night. I was already angry when I found myself walking to this place rather than anywhere else. I was even about to turn around when I heard someone moan my name softly. I traced the voice and I saw the same girl moaning
Ariel's POVFor three days after I returned to the house, I couldn't help but think about how I would be able to get my Dada to release me from the home imprisonment he kept me in. Even as I paced to and fro the length of the room I was in, no idea came to me. I balked at how it was becoming increasingly hard to think straight these days. Each time I sat down to think, only the thought of Eric and what he would do to me came. I would spend hours and hours fantasising about the man. By the time I realize that I needed to think of a way to get out of the mess I was in in order to actually see him, I would start thinking of an escape plan. Barely five minutes into the deep thinking, I would find myself thinking about Eric again... just like I currently was.I was floating on top of my bed. My hands were on my breasts and I kept culling and squeezing them the same way I saw Eric did that day at the beach. I moaned as I imagined it was his hands playing with my breasts instead of mine. St
Eric's POVAs mother continued to hold me, she patted my back softly with her hand. I knew I was displaying a moment of weakness to the queen, but at the stage where I currently was, none of all those palace rules mattered to me. I just wanted someone to show me that I wouldn't go crazy because of a certain human.Was she even hunan? Someone that could play with another's person's feelings like that didn't deserve to be regarded as a human. "She's a selfish, cunning, and the most heartless person I've ever seen!" I bursted out, unable to contain my contempt for the woman.My mum didn't say anything and just continued to pat me like she was already doing. The outburst, however, gave in to the anger I had been trying to rein in ever since I woke up that morning and found out about that girl's betrayal."How could she have deceived me like that?" I let out again.To me, she was stupid. If she wasn't, she would have realized that I was already infatuated with her. She could have easily d
Eric's POVI didn't know what to make of the situation that happened just a few minutes ago. Ever since I collapsed on my bed, I found it extremely hard to get up. How could I when it felt like my world was crumbling down beside me?I found it hard to believe within myself that the same girl I trusted enough to bring into the palace. The same girl I was so worried about I didn't want her to spend an entire night outside during the cold. The very same girl we spent the same night on the same bed, pleasuring each other to stupor. I couldn't believe that the same girl had thought nothing wrong about betraying me.How could I have been so draft? How could I have let her deceive me just like that? Why didn't I see beneath the fake skin she was wearing to the real one? Now that I thought about it, her excuse of getting lost while with her friends seemed flimsy. Heck, everything about her felt and sounded completely fake. I was sure that the reason she approached me in the first instance wa
CHAPTER THIRTEENARIEL'S POV Sebastian sat across me with an intense look in his eyes. I reckoned I would have the same look if someone sat me down to tell the exact story I was telling him at the moment.It happened to me yet somehow I found it unbelievable. It just felt like the kind of shit that should only be possible in movies. Poorly scripted movies."So you opened the door to the right-"I nodded. "I opened it."He leaned in closer to me almost as if he wanted to merge with me. His eyes bulged out in their socket and his teeth clattered. Goosebumps appeared all over my skin as I remembered how I felt in the dark corridor turning the door knob."I could have swore he was behind me- breathing just behind me." I said as I controlled the impulse to cringe.Sebastian gasped. "Was he there?"I shook my head. He wasn't there when I turned around but the presence didn't go away. It stuck with me even as the door opened."What did you find inside?" Flounder asked speaking for the first
