Let's dare to dream

Vl

In the room the tension between everyone was tangible wile Pascal was pleased to have "escorted" Varian to the room.

-Good job buddy-

Rapunzel was visibly nervous and tried to improve the situation by smiling at both of them but everything got worse when she saw Varian with a frown at her showing that he was quite upset.

The princess reached out her hand for Pascal to climb up her arm to her shoulder.The girl and Varian sat facing each other and avoided eye contact with rigid positions that showed the discomfort between them.Varian even pushed back the couch where he was sitting with his legs to stay further away.

-Well guys, now I need you to tell me what exactly happened with all the details.-

Nobody said a single word and at times the girl seemed like she was going to say something but she never finished completing the action.

-How about you start your Varian?-

Varian was resigned to everything and no longer cared about having to do something he did not want.He took a sigh and started.

Well, the truth is that i don't know! I was in my house only until strange noises started to be heard and the earthquake started and right after that the roof fell off and ...

-Varian wait! an earthquake?-

-Yeah an earthquake! Didn't you feel it? but it was very strong! almost a level 9-

-But, Varian, there was never an earthquake-

Varian sat back to the back of the chair without understanding anything and kept his gaze on the floor

-But...-

Varian couldn't finish saying his doubts because the noise of the door opening interrupted him.-Hi sunshine.--Your majesty -Eugene and Quirin arrived after looking for something else strange in the place where everything had happened and they had a small bag that caused curiosity.

-Dad!-

Varian was really relieved to have his father close to him and ran to hug him.

Quirin returned the hug and asked how he was while the others watched the scene with an expression of tenderness.

-We find...-

-Wait Gbug-

Rapunzel interrupted Eugene by putting a finger in his mouth

-It's good that you arrived because Varian was going to start telling us what happened

-Sorry, Gbug?-

Eugene was really upset

-Sit down!-Rapunzel moved all the couches and chairs that he had so that everyone had a comfortable place.

-Didn't we say you'd stop calling me Gbug?-

-Gbug, not now. Well Varian now that we are all here now you can start.-

-Oh well the truth is that I don't know what else to say, you say that the earthquake never happened and that makes me think that no one is going to understand what I say even if I explain it the best I can.-

Rapunzel and Eugene exchanged glances and Quirin put a hand on his son's shoulder

-Well, that means that you are the only one who can make us understand and maybe only you know what happened. So we believe you. What happened after the earthquake?-

-Well, right after the roof came down and I think that's where ... She appeared.-

They all looked from her to the girl in front of them and assumed that now it was her turn to touch her version of her story.However, the girl did not say anything.

-Uhhh, honey, we need you to tell us something.-

The girl just avoided her gaze and squeezed her clothes with her hands.

-Look, I know you're scared and you don't understand what's going on, but we can't help you if you don't tell us how we can start so you can go back to ... wherever you came from.-

Eugene pulled the chair closer to where Rapunzel was to be closer to her.

-You can do it kid-

-I, I don't kn-I don't know what happened.-

-Hey look at that! You can talk!, awesome!-

-Eugene!-

Rapunzel hit him with her elbow

Although that did remind her of an experience with a certain red-haired girl who didn't use to talk much. And that motivated her to believe that she could make Danielle flourish like she did with Catalina at the time.

-Let her continue to tell us.-

-Can you tell us your name?-

The girl paused a little and continued-My name is Danielle Lu MendPerald.-

Rapunzel smiled in relief at having at least one answer already. Knowing the girl's name was a breakthrough considering they knew absolutely nothing about her.

-Okay, Danielle, I need you to tell us what you were doing before arrive in Corona.-

-Well, uhhh i, I was in my room and - and I felt like an earthquake started too.

She said as she turned to see Varian for the first time to show that she had been through something similar.

-So, there was a very bright light and I think it made a well or something like that because I felt like I fell into something deep and - and in the end a very strong blow.-

After this Danielle said no more and she hugged one of the cushions that she had next to her and put it on her face so that they would stop looking at her.Rapunzel assumed that the blow Danielle felt was the impact against the ground from the roof of Varian's house. Although if it was a well it must have been a greater height.
