My Demonic Beauty (Jackunzel) [Editing]

My Demonic Beauty (22)

Rapunzel

____________

I must've banged my head when I fainted because that's the only thing I can feel when I sit up. The back of my head throbs each time I blink. I feel something hard wrapped around my arms and something soft against my mouth. When I can focus on the world around me, I try to rub my eyes but the hard things keeps me from doing so. I look down. The soft thing is a cloth, tied around my mouth. Confused, I shift my legs to my front and push myself to my feet. The room I'm in is dark and I can't see much. I know I'm not in the throne room anymore, but where am I exactly? I start to walk around, but then I'm pulled, yanked really, onto my back. I'm pulled by the chains by my arms and thrown on the floor. I hear the start of a chuckle as I scramble onto my knees, but I'm pulled back again. It's Pitch.

“Dad stop!” I shriek into the cloth, but it comes out muffled. Suddenly my feet are dangling in the air, my arms pulled up behind me. The position hurts, and I whimper and try to move. It's useless to scream, so I try to feel around with my feet for anything useful. My right foot hits a stone wall. I can use that some how!

I settle my other foot on the same wall. I push against the cold stones, pushing me forward into the air. I quickly shift my feet in front of me and they hit another stone wall. Am I in a cave?  I push back against those stones, and repeat the process a few times. I miss my landing and slam against the wall, knocking the air right out of me. I hear some thing break, look up, and feel the air whoosh my dress up. I'm falling down again. If I'm falling, won't I slam against the ground?

I don't, die I mean. My hair catches on something, so the speed that I'm falling at slows. I shift my arms back and grab my hair, gripping the hair so tightly I'm afraid it'll snap. My ankles twist around in my hair as well, and soon enough I have stopped falling. There's no way I can move with the cuffs on. They're pinching my skin and slamming the metal into it, I know my wrists are bleeding. But the thought of blood is soon good because some one screams.

“Rapunzel!”

It's Jack. “J-jack?”

He's laughing of relief, somewhere below me. I can hear him standing up. He's breathing heavily. What happened?

“I thought you were dead! I thought he killed you!”

Oh why did you say something about him? I bite my tongue back to not cry. “No, I-I’m okay.”

He can hear it. “What’s wrong?”

“He...he isn't my father. He killed my real father, and my mother is alive. But that's not why I'm crying. He... He wants me to kill him, Jack.”

“I thought we were anyway?”

“No,” I cry. I bury my head into my shoulder and let out a sob. “We can't. I love him.”

“How can you love a man who tried to kill you, Rapunzel?” He sounds so angry. “He deserves to die! He's killed thousands of people!”

“I know!” I yell down at him. I close my eyes. “I know...”

After that, it's silence. Blissful silence. My hands are tired after a while, my eyes all wet from tears. I'm just hanging in the air by now, like a puppet on strings. My head rests against the thick part of my hair. I'm just so tired. All I want to do it sleep.

Soon the silence is over. My hair is dropped from whatever it had caught on, and someone catches me before I,can become a huge splat of blood on the ground. I don't know who's carrying me, but I just lay my head on their shoulder, sniffling and hiccuping from crying. My cuffs are taken off of my wrists, and I'm laid on the ground. My knees ball up to my chest. I feel miserable.

My eyes close barely when I'm shaken awake. They flutter open and I try to focus on the person who's speaking.

“...ake. C’mon, we can get out Punz. I need you, c’mon.”

“Wha...?” I mumble, sitting up slightly, leaning on my elbow. I'm suddenly pulled in. Their arms crush me in a hug. All I want to do is sleep. “Jack...?”

“Yeah, are you okay?”

“Just sleepy...,” I mumble again. He pulls away from me and rubs his thumb on my cheek. I wish I could see him. I can't see anything besides the darkness.

“I’m going to get you out of here, okay?” He runs his smooth thumb across my chin.

“No... I need to h-help Pitch.” My words are so slurred. So slow. Am I really that tired?

“Punz, I can't let you get hurt.”

“And I can't l-let you either.”

I really wish I could see his face. He sighs. “Alright, fine. Promise me you won't get killed.”

“I promise,” I whisper. “And when I make a promise, I never break that promise. Ever.”

I can hear his soft laugh, like wind chimes. “I love you, Rapunzel.”

I smile. “I love you too Jack.”

He lifts me up in his arms, kisses my forehead, and I can feel him being lifted himself into the air. My arms lock around his neck, my face burying into his shoulder. I can't help but think that this is all a little while, a brief little moment until I die, until I watch Jack's blood spill over my own hands, and Pitch's laughter in the background. I slam my eyes shut. Don't think like that. Please don't cry again.

Soon, light makes my eyes open. The weak light of the day pours down on me and Jack, high above the castle. I just grip his hoodie tighter than before and don't look down. Jack looks down at me, I look up at him. For a moment, we smile at each other. The wind nips at his white hair. His eyes are bright and full of excitement. His smile...

Then it's all ruined.

Jack's blasted at his side. He let's go of me, letting me tumble and toss into the air blindly. I can't see him anymore. All I hear is the wind flying by my ear. I hold my arms out, trying to catch a hold of anything. I don't. Someone catches me. It's not Jack because I watch his body fall through the air, yelling and thrashing, then he regains his pace, slowing down. He starts to look around, I starts to yell him name, but everything stops me. No, not everything. That single arrow of black sand, that sails through the air and sinks into his chest.

I can't even scream. I watch the blood start to appear, his blue eyes widen. I can't even yell. I tried to make myself believe that what I just saw wasn't true.

I can heal him. I can heal him.

But no. I knew it as I watched him fall backwards into the sky and fall on a roof, coughing up blood and struggling to breathe. I'm being pulled away as I watch. No magic can save him.

Jack...

Jack is gone.
