~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 8~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cassandra came out of the darkness in the dress Gothel gave her.
However, she kept her gloves on.
"Beautiful Cassandra," said the woman.
"Thanks Mu-"
"Yes?"
Her eyes widened but she quickly closed them again, causing tears to flow.
"Well, my darling. Crying is no good.", She said and stepped closer to take her hands.
When she did this, she said, "Don't hide your pretty hands."
Black smoke suddenly appeared below them.
Cassandra ignored this, however, and looked at Gothel.
"My hands are not touched mother."
"Why so formal?" She said with a laugh.
She looked at her uninterestedly.
But somehow the black smoke grabbed her legs.
Suddenly she was out of breath.
But then Gothel disappeared.
Cassabdra's hair was blowing in the wind and her eyes widened when she saw Hector in front of her.
"Do you know where Varian is?!" he called, sounding very worried.
Her eyes stayed wide and she didn't respond.
"Cassandra!"
She suddenly woke up and calmed down.
"Hector?! What happened?!"
"Where's Varian?!"
"I don't know! I..."
She noticed her dress.
"I don't even know what happened to me..."
He looked at her seriously.
"You look just as beautiful as your mother."
Now her gaze became serious.
"No time for jokes! We have to..."
"How do I know you are not an illusion?"
She looked at him uninterestedly.
"Varian! We're looking for him now!"
He withdrew his sword and took her right hand.
He pulled off her glove and said: "Your hand is burned. Yes what?"
She looked at him confused.
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Why are you hiding your hands?"
He took her second glove and took that off too.
"I'm not hiding anything. I need them to fight."
"Just because your hand is burned doesn't mean it's not good. On the contrary, it's unique, isn't it?"
"I... have to go now!", She shouted shocked and ran off quickly.
"Cassandra!"
She heard him and disappeared into the darkness in a tunnel.
"Damn it! Where did she go?!"

At the time:
"Dear Cassandra!" Wrote Rapunzel in a letter.
"I hope your trip went well so far. Edmund really wanted to get to know his daughter better. I hope the time will come soon. I know it sounds crazy, but Eugene even passed out when the baby kicked me!"
She stopped in silence and put the quill away.
Pascal sat on her shoulder and watched her when suddenly a tear ran down her cheek.
"I miss you," she whispered.

"I feel the desire
To be
With you...
And i hope your screams come true
I feel
So alone without you...
I crossed kingdoms only to find my destiny
But everything's so dark because without you...
I can't connect the stars and see...

I know you come back one day
You haven't left that long yet
But is your fate along the way, please say...
Will you come back from there?"

Cassandra leaned against a wall and started crying.

"How can I be so close to you
Though i don't know what my way reveals...
Alone here...
And the more the pain heals
Will i come back from here?"

Rapunzel:
"I know you come back one day
You haven't left that long
But is your fate along the way, please say...
Will you come back from there?"

Cassandra:
"I'm breaking our dynasty
The rope that held us together breaks just like my heart
Without you there's no destiny
And I thought i'm fine but I still feel the pain
Everything was alright
But now it's sadly
As if i shouldn't have ever fight...
Like I never wanted to be...

At Rapunzel:
"I know Cassandra is happy in freedom. Do you remember Pascal? I cried just as much when she left me the first time."
He looked at her lovingly.
"Yes you are right! Let's talk to Eugene! I'm sure he misses her so much too!"

In the meantime, Cassandra was crying on the wall until she heard Hector.
"Hey you crazy! It's dangerous here!"
He knelt down next to her and saw a tear on her cheek.
He helped her up and asked almost uninterestedly: "You were crying. Why?"
"I haven't!" She shouted, wiping away the tear.
"You must have forgotten who I am. You can't lie to me. I'm too used to lying to overlook them."
"You are used to it? But who has-"
"It doesn't matter!" He yelled so furiously that Cassandra stepped back, her eyes wide.
"Is it because of what Goth- That Illusion said to you?"
"I'm not sure," Cassandra replied as she opened.
She bowed her head to one side and looked at the floor.
"Somehow I can't stop thinking about Rapunzel. I would be... really happy to be with her and to live a life like her!"
He started laughing self-centeredly.
"You wanted me to teach you how to fight!"

He hit the palm of his hand against her head, making her back away quickly.
Some stones fell from the wall.
Such a massive strength!
"Or did you change your mind?!"
His look... Hector often had those moments when he could just kill her... But it wasn't that look.
She looked deep into his eyes but could not judge that look.
"It's not my job to teach you that! As your royal advisor, I should show you how to become a good queen. But when I look at you acting like that... I don't want that."
"When you look at me acting like that?" She asked, puzzled.
"This person standing in front of me... I thought I would know her but... every day I see a different person in you. That's why I ask now... Who are you really Cassandra?"

She froze in shock.
What kind of question was that?!
"Well, I am me!" She shouted.
"When will you stop acting?!"
She bowed her head.
"I... have no idea what you're talking about! But what I do know is that this person... standing in front of you..."
She raised her head with a confident look.

"... is not afraid of challenges! And never in my life have I had a bigger and more difficult challenge than you... But I will overcome that too!"
She grabbed his wrist and twisted his arm.
He let go quickly and fell to the floor.
Fortunately, she let go quickly.
"As a princess and future queen..." she started looking down at him.
"... I command you to help me find Varian. Because whoever I am, I know that I am loyal to my friends."
