I Promise [Jackunzel & Mericcup]

Split

The lanterns have slowly faded and fell to the water… The others disappeared and the sky was already being seen once more, with a full moon and the stars forming as many as possible. Jack was using his ability to control the wind to bring back the boat to the land. Merida and Hiccup waited for them by the side of the town that was close to the forest.

“So, you’re gonna be able to meet your real parents, already, you know,” Jack said.

Rapunzel put on a confused face, Jack haven’t told Rapunzel that she was home and that her parents were the king and queen. He was planning on telling her that now, “You’re already home, Punz.”

“You mean…” Rapunzel was trying to calm down. Jack nodded and Rapunzel smiled.

“Your parents are over there,” Jack pointed with his head the palace. Rapunzel’s eyes widened and felt her tears pouring down on her face, she was so happy that she couldn’t help but cry.

As they reached the land, Merida and Hiccup helped secure it.

“So, what now?” Merida asked.

Jack smiled and looked back at the city, “We’re taking Punzie to her parents.”

Hiccup and Merida gasped, not expecting Rapunzel to be a princess. Merida held Rapunzel’s hand in amazement, “Y-y-you’re a princess, too?! W-why didn’t cha tell us?”

“I only knew now, either,” Rapunzel said as she giggled.

They were about to return to the town, until Rapunzel and Jack heard a familiar voice.

“Hello, Rapunzel,” It was Gothel. She was back; she had just seen her and tried getting her back.

She went closer to Rapunzel, but, she avoided her. Rapunzel was too frightened to even touch a small part of Gothel’s skin… For she might just grab for Rapunzel and lock her up once again.

As Rapunzel moved back a few steps as Gothel went closer, she felt hatred and knew that Rapunzel already knew the truth. She looked at Jack, recognizing his appearance from the paintings Rapunzels did back in the tower.

“Oh, so, this is the imaginary friend you kept telling me about… So, I guess you really weren’t being stirred crazy.”

Jack pointed his staff to Gothel and stood his ground, and so did Merida, Hiccup and Toothless.

Gothel scoffed and took out her knife, trying to give Toothless and Hiccup a cut. Toohtless received a cut by his cheek, Hiccup got cut by his leg and Merida by her arm.

“Jack, look out!” Rapunzel screamed as Gothel charged at Jack. But, when Gothel stabbed him at the stomach, but, it just went through, like he was still a ghost.

Jack put out a smirk and shooted his ice powers at her. She was slightly hurt but most of his magic was still nullified. Gothel held her wounded thigh, giving Rapunzel and Jack an evil grin, “So… You’re a winter spirit. I never would have guessed.”

Jack held Rapunzel’s hand and let her hide behind him, “Get lost, Gothel!”

Gothel went closer, limping on one leg, “So, you’ve been with her eversince, huh? And now, you’re taking my precious flower away from me…”

Jack’s grip on his staff grew tighter and Rapunzel held Jack, Gothel suddenly took some kind of potion in a bottle. She threw it at Jack that he didn’t notice that it were bits of molten rocks.  It hit Jack’s hands and face. It made him scream in pain that he let go of his staff and knelt to the ground.

“Jack!”, Rapunzel immediately wrapped her hair around Jack and tried to sing the song but then Gothel kept interfering, Toothless, Hiccup and Merida tried to charge at Gothel, but she somehow had this kind of force field that kept enemies away from her, which was also the reason Jack couldn’t use his magic on her.

Rapunzel couldn’t continue the song; she was too distracted at the way her friends were being hurt by Gothel.

“Rapunzel, run! Get away!” Merida screamed as she and Hiccup tried to block Gothel from going closer to Rapunzel. Rapunzel could never do that; she can never leave her friends most especially at times like this. Rapunzel looked behind her to suddenly see Gothel.

“Hello, my flower,” Gothel said as Rapunzel back away with Jack in her arms. Jack tried to stand up and reach for his staff, but Gothel stepped on his chest and held the bottle that had molten rocks, pointing it to Jack.

“Jack! Leave him alone!”

“Come with me, or I’ll finish your friends off in just a few minutes,” Gothel said, putting the weight on her foot that stepped on Jack harder.

Rapunzel looked at Jack and to her friends, seeing them injured and weak because of her was too much, “If I go with you, promise me you’ll leave them safe and never hurt them again.”

“Rapunzel, no!” Jack said in a weak tone, trying to reach out to her.

Hiccup, Merida and Toothless also looked at her worriedly, trying to tell her not to go with her, “Of course, dear. You’re the only reason I did this to them, anyway.”

“Don’t listen to her,” Hiccup said.

Rapunzel took a deep breath and looked Gothel straight in the eye, “Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Everyone was horrified by the decision Rapunzel made. She took little steps closer to Gothel as her fake mother offered her a hug. As Rapunzel was around Gothel’s arms, she suddenly gasped as Gothel immediately created a spell, rays of light came out of her head and entered a bottle.

“Rapunzel!!” Jack screamed, as he tried to move from his spot.

Gothel broke the bottle, leaving the rays of light to disappear. Rapunzel lost consciousness as Gothel put on an evil grin.

“She will never remember you now, spirit!” Gothel disappeared, making an evil laugh, leaving with Rapunzel.
