Walking the beaches was not something he was fond of, given the likelihood of some young hooligan attempting to jump from the treeline to catch him unawares, but if he ever wanted to procure himself some form of leverage, Jack knew he’d have to do some significant legwork, especially when he was running on a skeleton crew. “Even when at her most rancorous state, Nassau’s captains did not fail to come to congenial terms to sate the desires within their chests and yet in this odious environment the levels of mistrust fail to allow even the most elementary of discussions to pass without such copious amounts of mistrust present it’s nigh on improbable any settlement can be made…”
Frustrated mutterings were muttered under his breath in lieu of having his companion to air them to. Such deep thought almost proved his undoing however, as his foot sank into a deeper pit than he was expecting, concentration on the landscape not as present as that of his thoughts, and he had to stagger to find his step once more. “This fucking island…” he growled, tone louder this time, expressions of eloquence falling way to an outburst of cursing, though his diction did not suffer any less clarity for it. Pausing in his step to right himself, he rolled his ankle once before a sound caught his attention and he turned in the direction, hand already heading for the dagger at his waist.
Since arriving to Neverland, the beaches had became one of her favorite locations. Her whole life, she had grown up only seeing a forest with a small river that couldn’t equate to the vast ocean. It was beautiful. The feeling of the sand under her feet, of how it appeared so soft and lovely until she realized how rough it was to the touch. How it clung to her body and clothes, especially her hair if she were to lay down in it. It was after that first visit that she learned her lesson, don’t in the sand unless you were prepared to deal with having to get little specks from your hair. Then there was the ocean that held life. From mermaids to fish to whatever else was dwelling deep within. It was all so beautiful and Rapunzel dreamed of exploring it.
Today was supposed to be like any other day, to enjoy whatever the beach had to offer. From its cool breeze, to the water hitting the bottom of her feet, or even to reading. She was ready with her brown satchel that held books, journals, and writing essentials. So lost in her own thoughts and desires that she was unaware of the other until movement caught in the corner of her eyes. “Oh, hello there,” Rapunzel called out, a wide grin displayed on her face until she caught sight of where his hand was heading. “Please, don’t be alarmed. I’m not here to hurt you.” A true statement, her main priority was to enjoy herself and what the beach had to offer that day. There was no need for her to attack anyone, there was no fun in that. It was only when her magic was needed to protect herself that she would use it. “I’ve come to read and write, a very harmless activity if you ask me.”
Aldonza hadn’t made up her mind about whether or not she liked Neverland, it was an undeniably a beautiful island but the prospects for new recruits seemed rather low. Maybe one or two of the native islanders would join, but for now that seemed unlikely. She was growing impatient, there were other men and women that needed the help of the crew of the Damned Spot, people like her, girls who were thrown into the lion’s den of life with little to no hope of actually surviving.
“I can’t wait to get off this damn island!” she called out in frustration as she smacked yet another bug that bit her.
“Why would you want to leave? Neverland is an amazing place.” The voice came from behind her, Rapunzel who looked over at the other with the tilt of her head. While the other didn’t seem to like the island, she loved it. It was everything that she ever wished for, so of course she didn’t want to leave it. Not until she covered area of the island. “Unless you think otherwise.”
“Believe it or not, not everyone who is seated outside their hidden shack in a remote bay is begging for visitors.” John turned his knife over in his hand, but it was only to crack his knuckles and ease the tension in his joints. He then resumed his carving, pointedly unruffled by the intrusion. “Some might even accuse you of trespassing.”
“I don’t believe that for a second,” said Rapunzel, eyes remaining on John’s activity in hand. Her interest was peeked, watching him closely, thoughts racing of how long he has been doing this. “Everyone appreciates having visitors.” She knew that if she loved having company, especially those who wonder over without her asking. Those were the best type of people in her opinion. “I’m not hurting anyone, so allow me to stay.” There was a beat, eyes flickering up to his face. “Please?”

about her
A girl unaware of her birth name but has always gone by Rapunzel or Punzie, a name that was given to her by the woman who kidnapped her. However, Rapunzel doesn’t see her as her kidnapper but as her mother and the only person who cared about her. For most of her human life, she lived within a tower with this older woman. What this girl soon to be woman was unaware was her birth parents. A King and Queen from a far off land, a place that was nowhere near the tower she was kept inside of. It was said that the two never stopped looking for their daughter and that every year on her birthday, would release red lanterns into the sky to celebrate her. Though, the lanterns were never seen by Rapunzel.
Rapunzel was unaware of what the outside world held, except for what she read in the books given to her by the older woman. Books that talk about tales of monsters that hunt children, magical creatures that could heal people, and books about royalty. Such fantastical stories were stuffed into her head, that the girl began to question if any of it was real or not. The older woman knew of these thoughts and used them against Rapunzel. She would tell her that monsters were real and would come after the young girl because she was special. “You have a hidden power hidden deep within you, Punzie. No one must know of it or else they’ll take you away. They’ll hurt you because of that power!” Such words were trusted and believed for years, Rapunzel never setting foot outside of the tower.
However, that didn’t stop her desire of wanting to know of the outside world. The world that held so many trees, birds that sung her awake, squirrels that were able to make it up so far up onto her window sill, and a sky that stretched far across the entire land. What secrets and tales did the land hold, she wondered. Yet, was never able to explore. Instead, she was kept inside, for her own good as she was told. Where she read books all day, cared for a variety of plants, cleaned, cook, and even write. Write stories about being free, about life beyond the tower, of a life that she wished for. Each year on her birthday, Rapunzel would look out her window and wish to whatever greater being was listening to grant her the freedom that she desired.
That wish was finally heard the morning of her 27th birthday. Her hair had grown long, reaching down past her rear, a part of her that her mother always loved about her. For it added to her beauty. That morning, the older woman promised to take Rapunzel out to the nearby town, to let her finally roam and get a taste of it all. Before any of that, she left to do some chores, leaving Rapunzel alone. Or at least she believed that she was.
About this tower, it was difficult for someone to get to it as the forest surrounding it was dense and filled with vicious animals that acted as guards. Only the older woman knew of the way in and out of the forest while remaining in one piece. Until a young adventurer appeared. He was handsome in the eyes of Rapunzel and charming. As he was able to get her to let him inside of the tower and immediately wow the naive girl, telling her of the life outside of the tower and making her fall for him. Since, of course, she never fell in love with an actual person. “Why don’t you come with me? I promise to bring you back before your mother realizes.”
There was hesitation, fear of her mother catching her but there was also the desire to leave on her own. To live, to have fun, freedom. Everything she ever wanted and needed. So, with his hand in her own, the two left the tower together and ventured through the forest. In her mind, Rapunzel believed that she would be back before her mother. But like most stories, things never go as planned.
The day was filled with laughter, smiles, dancing, and even a kiss. Well, several kisses. Tentative, awkward, desire, and passion. It felt unreal to her, as if she was in one of her favorite books. Time had got the best of the two, night had fallen as they remembered Rapunzel’s mother. The two hurried back to the tower, eyes wondering to make sure that there was no one to catch them or wild animals. When they reached the tower, she was prepared to go back inside until her love said to her, “Why don’t we leave together? You don’t deserve to stay inside of a tower your entire life.” His words meant a lot to her that she quickly agreed. It was short lived as he was stabbed in the back by the older woman, anger could be seen in her eyes. She pulled Rapunzel into the tower, yelling at her about her whereabouts, about trusting people, about wanting to leave. This caused Rapunzel to yell back for the first time, still shocked and visibly upset about the stabbing. Of wanting to leave, wanting to be free for once and how wrong it was that was locked away. “Why do you treat me like a prisoner? Aren’t I your daughter?”
It was during a fight with the older woman that truths were quickly revealed. Of Rapunzel not being her actual child, of her taking the young woman from her birth family, how she did it as revenge from the royal family that hurt her. Tears filled Rapunzel’s eyes, not wanting to believe any of it as the older woman tried to end her life. “I’ll end the royal family’s birth line officially by taking your life.” With the same knife that was used to hurt her love, Rapunzel, with a rush of adrenaline, fought back. Using all of her strength that she could muster, she rocked the older woman off from her body, soon knocking the knife from her hand. And what she did next was unexpected. Tears that hit the older woman, she attempted to push her from the window, hoping to end her life that way. However, in the process, caused her to fall as the older woman grabbed hold of her hair. Unable to keep the two of them up, Rapunzel and her kidnapper fell down the window.
Rapunzel was met with darkness until her eyes opened, being met with light. She awoke in Neverland that day, with purple and gold wings. A fairy, specifically a garden fairy to be exact. It all felt unreal to her, this strange land filled with an endless fight. While she was expected to choose a side, Rapunzel remained neutral, not wanting to get in between anything unless it was necessary. Instead, her focus was on getting used to the land and her newfound freedom. It took years, longer than expected, for her to just roam alone. Time was spent reading, learning of her powers, and observing others from afar. But once she broke free from the shell of hers, a new part of her was born. An adventurous, excited, irresponsible, irrational side that wanted to just explore every part of her new home. Learning about the different beauties and stories that it held. While also be caring of the fight happening.
