The Secret of the Moondrop

Chapter 9

Clarissa

Rapunzel sat up in her room, she was brushing her hair, she was their when her dad told Quirin what happen. Quirin got bad at her father, wanting to see his son but the King didn't allow him. Pascal walk up to her and she smiles. She said "Pascal... Am I doing the right thing, sitting up here, doing nothing?" Pascal nods and she ask "Does it feel right?" Pascal shakes his head and she smiles. She has been getting worked up, begging her father to let Varian go or let Quirin see him but he always said no. Saying 'That it is risky.' She had said loads of things, but the one thing that stick out her mind that she told her father was 'Why don't you trust anyone?!' She sighs, she sees Eugene come in the room and Rapunzel said "Hi Eugene." Eugene smiles and sits beside her and said "Hi Rapunzel, how have you been?" Rapunzel said "Feeling awful." Eugene said "Your father is just trying to protect everyone Blondie." Rapunzel said "I know." She pauses before continuing "But it still doesn't feel right." She looks out the window to the horizon.
Varian sits on the ground and in a corner of a cell. It has been a week and no one has come to see him. The first day he thought that they weren't allowing anyone but then something else hit him. 'Maybe no one wants to see me'. He hugs his legs closer to him. They didn't even let Rudiger be with him, he leans his against the hard cold stone wall. He thinks about his mother, she had brown hair always up in a bun and grey eyes. Her name was Clarissa, he smiled at the thought of his mother.
Ethan throws a knife at a wooden wall, he hears a knock at the door and he said "Come in." Winter comes in and she ask "What do you want Ethan." Ethan said "James has come back and has reported that Quirin was let out the crystal by the boy that escape us." Winter ask "And what does that have to do with me?" Ethan said "Are you sure?" Winter's grey eyes widen a bit and she said "I don't know what you are talking about." Ethan sighs and said "You know what I mean Winter, or should I say Clarissa." Clarissa glares at Ethan as he smiles.
