Varian went through the rubble and stood at one of the doors. The must be Cassandra's room,"he said, and pushed the door a crack far up.Ruddiger squeezed through the crack and ran in. "Wait Ruddiger! We have to go into the staff room to...", Varian yelled but then he already stood in Cassandra's room.
It was dark and mysterios. "I thought her room is a little... well ya know but so..."
There were debris everywhere. Varian followed Rudiger through then and they stood in front of an open cabinet. He discovered a painting in it. Rapunzel, Cassandra and Eugene were seen there. Well, Eugene's a little scratchy, but... Varian grabbed the picture and his eyes got wet.
"I'm so terribly sorry, Rapunzel..." he whispered. Then the cabinet started to squeak. Varia got scared, jumped to the floor to catch Rudiger and slipped out of the closet before it could fall on both of them.
"That was close...", he said. Rudiger jumped out of his arms and shook himself.
Then suddenly Cass came in. " What are you doing here?", she asked angrily and came over to him. "I just wanted, i..."
He discovered a hole in the wall behind the place where the closet stood. He stood up and lookedin there. There was a little golden key. "Cass, What's this key for?" he asked for it. None of your business! I thought you were getting blankets?!", She asked angrily and crossed her arms." Yeah, but..." "No but!", she interrupted. "Just leave Varian." She knelt down to lift the cabinet and paid no more attention to Varian.
Varian left quietly but when he was out of her room, he took the key out of his jacket pocket." Thanks for this trick Eugene.", he whispered with a broad almost evil smile.
When they layed down to sleep and Cassandra turned around, a little blue box fell out of a brown back she wore around her neck.
"That box...", Varian whispered. He putted out the key and took the box. When he turned the key in the box a beautiful melody came out.
"It is working..."
Cass heared that sound and recognized the melody. "Varian!", she yelled.
Varian was startled and jumped up. "Cassie, I'm sorry, I ..." "What's going on here?" Hubert yawned.
"You just take my things without permission! Are you crazy?!"
"Crazy?! If you had not lied to me, I would not have taken your stuff without permission!"
"That was not a lie! I kept something secret from you! That's a big difference!"
"You ... you can not just...", Varian stuttered.
Then Hubert intervened and pushed the two of them apart, but they didn't stop staring furiously.
"What's so bad about taking the box?", Hubert asked confused.
"If he had broke it!... That's all that was left of my mother!"
Varian flinched. Even though she was screaming and angry, Varian saw tears in her eyes.
"Cassie... I am sorry... I didn't know."
Cassandra turned around to not look him in the eyes and said with about and calm voice:"No it's alright Varian. I am sorry too. I should have told you about it."
Varian smiled and putted his hand on her shoulder. He looked over to hera and said softly:"It's okay... I still love you." "What?", Cass asked confused.
Varian's face become a bright red as he noticed what he just said. " I- I meant... I don't love you! It's just that..." Cass looked really confused at him.
"I mean you're not my type! I mean, really? Why should I love you?" He laughed nervously while Cassandra's face was confused and sad at the same time.
"Wow... I don't know why you should but... I really thought you would...", after these words she just walker away.
"What just happened?", he asked himself confused. Then Hubert answered:"I think you just told her that no one loves her."
"What?!", Varian asked in shock. "But that wasn't what I meant!"
"Maybe. But that's what she heared."
While they are talking Cass ran into her room. She closed the soor and after she stayed quietly in front of it and her owl hooted, she sank slowly down. "I really thought he loves me."
The owl hooted again. "No, you don't unterstand! I don't have feelings for Varian but what if no one will ever love me? I never had a boyfriend and no one ever loved me before... Except... I know who can help us saving Rapunzel!"
She took a letter and a feather. She started writing:
Dear Marcus
I know the last time we saw us was when we were 14 but now I really need your help! My best friend is in danger and I only have two idiots by my side. I am sure you changed but deep in your heart you know we are still friends! Please come to corona. I will wait for you in old corona.
Cassandra
