Okay, so this one is a little strange. Let me explain. So, Cassandra returned to Corona after 4 years and everything was fine for about a week. Cass and Raps were catching up. But then Cassandra changed - she became more distant, quiet, even mean. Rapunzel had no idea why, but she tried to help to no avail. In reality, Cassandra believed what some old-woman said, about how Rapunzel in the end, was just gonna hurt her again. Or something like that. The woman brought back old wounds and reopened them. Cassandra decided to beat Rapunzel to it and became harsh and mean. Worse than when she had the moonstone. Now, the two of them, after a huge fight (mostly of Cassandra finally fully snapping and screaming at her) the two of them got... teleported? Into some forest far away from Corona. I don't know how guys, some witch and warlock decided to be asswholes and mess with them I guess. Just go with it. But before that, the two of them were attacked by bandits. And now they're lost. Rapunzel's terribly hurt, but she doesn't tell Cassandra considering the woman literally screamed the worst kind of words at her just an hour earlier. Rapunzel is following close, but still a bit far, behind Cassandra as she slices through every branch, twig and tree she can find. Rapunzel is rapidly losing blood but that's not what is hurting her. The rest you'll find out in the story. It's going to be a little confusing at first but as you progress, everything will be explained. Oh and I almost forgot, in this Rapunzel is not wearing her usual attire, but some black pants and a dark pink shirt. As well as boots. She tried to do it for Cassandra, in hopes it will get her to stop being mad at her. Warnings: Blood, talks of not wanting to live, mental abuse, cutting, stuff like that. This one is a little dark, but it has a happy ending. Possibly sexy times at the end. Maybe all the way, or maybe not, guess it depends on where my typing takes me.

Rapunzel followed behind her best friend. Or rather, Rapunzel followed behind the person that used to be her best friend. She kept her eyes directed at the ground as she tried to focus on anything but the still seeping wound that took over her side. It had been nearly an hour and neither of them had said anything. Well, to each other at least. Rapunzel could hear the cursing Cassandra had been sputtering out under her breath.

"You're such a nuisance to me." Rapunzel clearly heard the familiar voice rung out through her head. "All you do is cause problems - I always have to take care of YOU." There were a lot of truly evil things that Cassandra had said to her the hour prior as well as the last couple days. But Rapunzel couldn't find it in her to be mad at her. Because she knew everything that she had said was true. "Follow me, don't follow me, I don't care."

Rapunzel had followed her but because she didn't know where else to go. She didn't have any weapons, not that Cass would protect her right now anyway, but if she hadn't followed her, she would just worry something bad was gonna happen to Cass. Something was wrong. Even when Cass had the moonstone, she never outright insulted her with such hatred. One moment they were fine, happy, the next Cassandra suddenly hated her. Rapunzel didn't know why or how all of this started coming up. Maybe she had a realization about how terrible Rapunzel has been to her? She did not know.

Rapunzel knew about the deep, slashed wound that was still pouring blood almost immediately after it happened. But she didn't dare tell Cass. Cass was right, she always took care of her. Rapunzel could handle it, she could take care of it herself, and Cassandra would never have to know. Would she even care if she did know?

"You ruin everything!"

"I hate you." That one was one of the ones that hurt the most.

But the main one that cut deeper than any wound ever could was, "I should've finished you off when I had the chance. I could care less about what happens to you." It was said with such venom that Rapunzel was actually scared for her life for a split second. That was the last thing Cass said to her before she turned around and marched off. This past hour, Rapunzel never tried so hard to hold back tears. But she didn't let them fall. She was weak and pathetic as Cassandra had said. She didn't want to cause her any more trouble.
