Catching Princesses

District 10

New chapter because I finally finished Tower of God season 2. This took so long because I got stuck halfway through District 10. This was originally supposed to be about Beauty and the Beast. Then I changed it to (Cinder)Ella, then I changed it to Rapunzel.

I just realised something, NPC stands for non-playable character right?? So everyone other than me is an NPC because I can only control my body.

My brain's empty

Why do I have no ideas?

Day 2 of no ideas

I'm just gonna write stuff and hope it makes sense

"Rapunzel!" The voice of Mother Gothel echoed through the tower-like house. Gothel sighed. "This girl is always late" She mumbled. Gothel looked like she was in her early 30's but she was actually in her 70's.

(You'll see why I chose 70's later on. Why is my screen so bright? This can't be normal, it's on the lowest brightness)

Mother Gothel had used a combination of medicines, a good diet, constant exercise and makeup to make herself look really young. Some say she used magic to make herself younger. One theory was that she found a magic flower that made her younger. Another was that she cut her daughter's hair and ate it to make herself young. The latter was thought to be true as no one could truly believe that Rapunzel's hair was natural.

Rapunzel assured them it was natural and her hair was just really blonde it almost glowed. Some villagers didn't believe her and would often ask:

'If your hair's naturally blonde and bright, why are the ends always brown whenever you cut them?'

After years of trying, Rapunzel and Gothel finally convinced them that Rapunzel had a special condition called the 'Tangled Condition'.

(Her hair's natural btw, she just uses a lot of 'extra shine' conditioner)

(Nope I'm going to sleep)

"Coming!" Came the reply. A few seconds later, in a blur of yellow and green, Rapunzel appeared. She was dressed in a green dress the colour of chameleons, and her bright blonde hair was bound by a blue hair tie. (I'll stop with the language and structure devices when I get my deserved A. I don't care if it's summer.) There were little flowers dotted around braided hair.

Gothel smiled, "Ready for the reaping?"

Rapunzel nodded, "Yes"

This was going to be Rapunzel's last reaping, as she was turning 19 in a little over a month.

The two headed out.

"So, what did you do today?" Gothel asked as they strolled through District 10, joining the crowds of families heading towards the reaping in the centre of town.

"I tended to the chickens and collected their eggs, then sold them to Old Macdonald for a good price"

Gothel nodded, "Good." She paused as they reached the centre of town.

"Goodbye Mother" Rapunzel turned away and started walking towards where a couple of her friends were waiting.

"Rapunzel! Wait!" Gothel called out.

As Rapunzel turned around, Gothel pulled her into a hug. "Stay safe 'Zel"

Her name was called out. Rapunzel realised. Tears almost started to form as she walked up the stage and stood next to the escort, Abbi Brostig.

(Took the name from 'Stabbington Brothers'. I took Abbi from Stabbington)

Ton(y), the mentor, was standing on the side. He took one look at Rapunzel, who was close to tears, and shook his head.

This won't do at all. I hope the boy is more capable. He thought

"And the male tribute from District 10 is... Eugene Fitzherbert!"

(I used Flynn's real name for some kid, he's irrelevant to the story)

A few seconds later, a 12-year-old kid was chosen.

"I VOLUNTEER" A voice from the older boys section stepped up, "I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!"

The crowd went silent, as though they couldn't believe a person like him would ever volunteer willingly.

The young man walked up to the stage and smiled at the kid.

"So, young man, may I ask why you chose to volunteer? If I'm not mistaken, that boy was not of any relation to you."

The young man smiled, "He is still a child, I would not like his life to be cut short while he still a small kid."

"What's your name?" Abbi asked.

"Flynn. Flynn Rider."

As Flynn turned towards Rapunzel to shake her hand, Rapunzel managed to get a clear look at his face.

He's the filthy no-good thief who stole my hairband!

"Why'd you do it?" Vlad asked Flynn.

(Vlad is the name of some guy who appeared when I searched up characters in Tangled)

"I know it's not from the goodness of your heart, Rider. You don't have a heart"

Flynn laughed, "I got caught stealing again a few days ago-"

"What? What did you steal this time?"

Flynn shrugged, "Some girl's headband. Some guy said he'd pay a lot for it. Anyway, she whacked me on the head with a frying pan, knocked me out, and sent me to the Peacekeepers."

Vlad snorted, "So why'd you volunteer?"

"They said they were gonna keep me till I died. And you know I'd rather die than be confined in a place so isolated that no one can witness my handsome face"

Vlad threw him a keychain and left.

The keychain was simple, but it had a picture of their gang. All six of them were smiling, Flynn was on the side, holding a glass of liquor and obviously wasted, Nathan was next to him smiling normally. Vlad had his arm around his girlfriend, Sam. The two were grinning like idiots. Andy was scowling at the camera. Maya was holding the camera and stopping Andy from leaving with her other arm.

(They're just some names I made up)

(Remind you of a group?)

(okay I'm out.)
