The open wounds upon her bare feet, stung.  Rapunzel’s  delicate flesh wasn’t used to the harshness of stones, twigs and  other hazardous obstacles this forest held but still she ran. 

Emerald eyes FILLED with tears that quickly trickled down her cheeks, she didn’t know where she was going  ....  but anywhere was better than that TOWER.   That nightmare.    

‘I have to get out of here’   she repeated it in her head over and over --   heart ramming against her chest.   She was desperate --  even if she was scared,  even if  she was cold --   even  if she was hungry  --  she wouldn’t go back.   Not now knowing the TRUTH...  or at least part of it.    Gothel WASN’T her Mother ....     she was taken from those that loved her ...     

Everything had been a lie.    Even....  Even CASS lied to her.   ---  Somehow that hurt even more than the witch’s betrayal.   She considered her ... her best friend...  her protector ...  but even she was hiding things from her --- -  

 Despite that Rapunzel  couldn’t bring herself to hate her ----   which made the knowledge that she’d likely come after her WORSE.    She didn’t want to see Cassandra as an enemy..     if only...   if only she could’ve said goodbye to her.  

 If only she could ask her W H Y.  But it was too late for that....   

With each frantic step she took she grew closer to the exit,   just a little farther and she could say goodbye to this place forever.

Gently, so as not to damage the card, Rusthaven removes the bracelet and holds it up for a closer look. 

He can count on one hand the number of homemade gifts he’s ever received, and they were usually from his grandfather (there was also the carving he received from his father when he was small, but since he couldn’t remember getting it, it was hard to think of it as a present). As he looks at the bracelet, marveling at the intricacy of it, memories of those gifts come flooding back; or, at least, the feeling of receiving them. Like his grandfather, Cassandra had made them just for him. That alone was enough to make him return his daughter’s smile. But, to him, it’s also a kind of confirmation, more proof he’s been accepted as her father. You didn’t put that much effort into a gift if you didn’t care about the person. Well, he didn’t. 

“Cassandra,” he says, “this is the finest bracelet I’ve ever seen.” He puts it on his left wrist immediately before picking up the card. “And this,” he went on, showing her the card, “is gonna have pride of place.” 

He gets up and walks over to the mantelpiece, moving a few cards carefully out of the way so he can put Cassandra’s card right in the middle, where it’s easy to spot. 

“See that?” he tells her. “That’s where the important cards go.” He kneels down and gives her a hug. “Thank you, honey. I love them.”

“Hurry up, Cassandra!” Gothel hissed holding her sleeping flower close to her chest. She had managed to elude the royal guard and sneak both the baby princess that held the power of the Sundrop and her own biological burden away.

She knew of a secluded tower where they would be hidden if only her own child wouldn’t dawdle!

“Get a move on before I leave you behind!”

“I... I can’t find your father.”

You’d think, after so long with him, that Morwenna would be used to this. Usually the Captain would send a message if he couldn’t make it home, or tell her if he knew it in advance. But there were times when he didn’t, and even though he’d always come back, those times were always the scariest. After all, there was always the risk something would happen to him out there. 

It had been four days. He’d never been away this long before, not without saying something.

“Do you know where he’s gone?” she asked, feeling a pang of guilt. Bad enough Morwenna couldn’t sleep; had she not been desperate, she’d never have put Cass in that situation. “I’m sorry, I know it’s late, but I didn’t know who else to ask.”

— ⚡ Three years have passed and Kiera had become one of the Royal Guards. She had asked now Queen Rapunzel, if she could keep watch on the rooftops. Which was allowed. Best to put her old skills to use, as she did years ago as a thief.

As she jumped from roof to roof. Watching any suspicious activity. Seeing old familiar faces she had grown to know over the years.  Kiera acted as Corona’s little hawk

“Just because you’re good with a sword it does not mean you’ll be able to take me on in a race.” Cerise notes, a challenging smile on her face. “In fact I bet I could easily run circles around you if I so wanted to. But I won’t because I’m feeling nice today.” Well maybe she still might, all depends on how the would-be guard took her words.

   Oh, the Snuggly Duckling. A great place to hang out between jobs that didn’t ask any questions. He had a grin on his face as he took a sip of ale. In his pocket, a plethera of stolen necklaces, art and even a golden egg! Another fine day for the best thief in the seven kingdoms. The door slamming open broke him and everyone else from their activities. Oh no. Everyone knew what the captain’s daughter looked like. Flynn sighed. Which one of them was she there to take into custody?
