Everything has Changed (A Big 4 Fan-Fiction)

Rapunzel's POV

I ran out of the castle crying. I couldn't stand this anymore. Eugene and I had officially divorced and, honestly, I missed my hair. I miss being able to whip anyone I wanted with it. Only in self defense of course, I'm a princess. But I wasn't even sure I wanted to be that anymore. I mean yeah, my parents are great and they love me but if I'm honest, I kinda miss being able to do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it.

Yes, Mother Gothel was a terrible person. I mean, what kind of person loves beauty so much, they have to kidnap a baby princess to feel good about themselves? But I do miss those days when I was out of the tower and going on a journey. Having that sense of freedom was the best thing ever.

Suddenly an idea came to my head.

What if I ran away?

I know what would happen! I would be free again. I could go running, and racing, and dancing when ever I wanted! I would have the freedom to run around bare foot and finally take out that frying pan and put it to some good use!

My mind was made up.

I got up, smoothed out my dress, whipped away my tears and went back inside the palace.

I strolled down the hallways like I usually would. I smiled at everyone and talked to everyone. But in my mind, I was going over how I would do this.

Winter is basically here so I'll need to dress warm. I would also need to leave at night because then there won't be the trouble of my parents stopping me. And it's easier to not be spotted at night. I would need food and water, because this is the real world and not some fantasy, I mean who doesn't love their food? I would sadly have to wear shoes. And last but certainly not least, I would need my frying pan.

I smiled slyly to myself.

Yes. This is a good plan.

~~~~~~~~~~Around 11pm~~~~~~~~

I checked and double checked the see if I had everything.

Dressed Warm?

I was wearing my usual purple dress. But I had on thick knitted tights and furry boots. Plus, I wore a wool, hooded cloak.

Check.

Food?

Check.

Water?

Double check!

I had everything! I paused and grabbed my favorite book, The Myth of Jack Frost. I grabbed my frying pan and quickly slipped out of my door and into the corridor.

It was easy getting out of the castle, the village was what I was worried about.

To the villagers, I was a celebrity. They would swarm me every time I tried to stroll the village. Good thing it was night, and all the villagers would be asleep, I hoped.

I peeked around the corner I was hiding in. So far, not a villager in sight. So I put the hood up and ran out the gate, across the bridge, and into the forest.

I laughed. That was easy!! So easy, it was funny!

I continued to stroll merrily through the woods. I hummed to myself as I found a nice clear spot. I gather up some branches, made a small fire and dozed off into a deep sleep.

~~~~~~~The Next morning~~~~~~

I awoke and looked around. There were no footprints in the snow, no sound of footsteps. No one had followed me. At least, not yet.

The first thing I wanted to do was put distance between me and my old kingdom. So I gathered my supplies and left no trace of my presence.

Then I walked.

And I walked.

And I walked.

I walked past the Snuggly Duckling. Past where my tower was. I was so far away from my kingdom that I knew, I wasn't in the kingdom anymore. At that moment it began to snow. I groaned.

"There's already enough snow on the ground!" I shouted to the dark sky.

Then I continued walking, until I reached a frozen lake.

I was just about to step out to it when something made me stop.

A white haired boy was sitting in the middle of the lake. Well, not really boy. He looked about 20 years old.

He turned his head and looked right at me. His eyes were really blue.

"Who are you?" The boy asks.

I step cautiously out of the trees.

"Rapunzel." I said.

He looked stunned.

"You can see me?" He asks.
