My Demonic Beauty (Jackunzel) [Editing]

My Demonic Beauty (24)

Willow

__________

I heard it. I saw it. Rapunzel flew from Jack's arms, he was forced away. And the blood. So much blood fell. I knew Rapunzel might of hate me, I hate myself to be honest, but I had to run back. I grabbed a sword from a guard and just ran. I have to help Jack. I have to help Rapunzel. Everything depended on them. My little brother's future depended on them.

I dart up the stairs, lifting the sword higher so I don't cut myself. I don't know what I'm getting myself into. Maybe Jack and Rapunzel are dead right now. Maybe Pitch is just waiting for me to pop up and kill me. I do know one thing, I will fight for them both. I won't let Pitch control me so easily again like last time. I'm not so angry now. I know my place. Me and Jack are inseparable, but Rapunzel is his. They're in love. I respect that. I burst through a door to a hallway and continue down it.

The first thing I see when I get to the roof is Pitch. He's just grinning like crazy. His beady, yellow eyes are narrowed down like a cat's. Before I attack, I follow his eyes. They rest on Rapunzel. She's sobbing. I don't know why. I get a closer look and I swear, the world freezes. It's like time and space have stopped to watch this great tragedy. Like they've waited for this moment, knew it, and still stopped to see. It's so unexplainable. In her arms lays Jack, paler than usual. His eyes are closed. His cheek is wet. Another tear falls onto his cheek from Rapunzel's eye. He's dead. Pitch killed him.

The sword falls from my hands, clatters against the stoned pavement, and I cover my mouth with my hand. I feel my knees buckling underneath of me and I grab the wall for support. How in God's name is Jack dead? He can't die, he's the Savior! Why did this happen? Why?!

Everything is quiet except for Rapunzel's steady tears. I don't even think that her or Pitch know I'm here. I watch Pitch near her. He grabs her shoulder, but she shrugs him off. I want to slice his head wide open now, but for some reason I don't move. My legs don't work, my mouth doesn't utter a single word. I can't seem to do anything but stare.

Rapunzel slowly stands up after a few seconds. She lays Jack's body gently on the ground. Without looking at Pitch, she says, "I promised Jack something. I promised him that I wouldn't get hurt. He promised the same thing. And when we promise something, we don't ever break them. So why did Jack break his?"

Pitch oozes with satisfaction. His big toothy grin can't hide anything. He begins to wrap his arms around the blonde. "I don't know my Nightmare. Let's get you to bed, maybe this is all a dream. Maybe Jack isn't even real."

Her eyes never leave Jack's body. "And if I wake up and I still feel the pain, then what?"

"Then we try to forget."

She nods her head. "Okay."

Okay? No, she can't say okay. Jack didn't die for an 'okay.' He died for this girl and their love. He died for everyone to be free of her Daddy's little plans. She can't just say okay and leave. That's not how this works! My mind clicks into action. I grip my sword tightly, wobble to my feet, and yell, "Rapunzel, stop!"

Both of them turn to look at me. I point my sword at them. "You're not taking her. And you're not leaving!"

"Willow," Rapunzel says softly. "It's okay now. We can all just sleep."

"No, you don't get it Rapunzel," I yell. "Jack didn't die for you to just give up. This bastard can't just take you away like nothing because, damnit, I need you. Everyone needs you. You need to get it through your head!" I don't wait for anyone else to move a muscle. I pull my arm back and throw my sword straight at Pitch. Well, both Pitch and Rapunzel. I really wasn't aiming. The sword flies through the air but doesn't get anyone. Rapunzel dives to the side and Pitch disappears. Unfortunately, he reappears behind me, which results in a hand over my mouth and a dagger to my throat. Great.

Rapunzel gasps out loud and I roll my eyes. No need to act all dramatic now. I lock eyes with her. She looks too scared and panicked, but I nod my head ever so gently to her. The panic rises but she nods back, looking at Pitch now.

"Let her go."

Pitch laughs. "Only if you come with me."

"No. I'm not going anywhere."

"Well then, say goodbye to Willow." The knife digs deeper into my throat. The skin almost breaks when Rapunzel lets out a shriek/squeak that stops him.

"No. You will let her g-go now." Her palms begins to glow with a blinding light. The same light I remember when I was all sand crazy. I close my eyes so I won't go completely blind. I brace myself for some sort of force. I am blown back, but I keep my eyes shut. My back slams against the hard pavement and I don't wait to stand. I'm up on my feet, grab the dagger that flew from Pitch's hand, and aim it at his body on the ground. He groans momentarily. Rapunzel runs over, holding out her hand. She's breathing really fast and some of her hair is hanging in her face. I turn my attention back to this scum on the ground.

"It's over, Pitch Black. You've lost," I somehow manage to say that. I'm really panicking because he laughs at me. Soon, he's on his feet too. He's staring at me and Rapunzel, laughing his black heart out. His eyes are glowing gold.

"Oh, I haven't lost. I haven't lost by a long shot, dear Willow."

When he says my name, it feels like every organ in my body stops working. My legs don't support me and the world spins. My knees hit the ground. The dagger falls from my hands and right when I'm about to hit the ground, Rapunzel surprisingly catches me. My neck falls into her arm. Her skin is so warm. I feel so much safer in her arms.

"What did you do to her?!"

"I haven't done anything."

"Pitch, stop playing games with me!"

"But I'm not, my lovely Nightmare. My sweetest, darkness Princess."

"Stop! Stop hurting everyone I care about!"

Rapunzel let's out the most loudest scream I've ever heard. She covers my ear with her hand though and buries my head in her chest before she does. Pitch is blown back by this. He's really pushing her. I don't think he knows what she can really do. Rapunzel looks down at me and caresses my forehead.

"You're going to be okay."

Her words are so comforting. I wish I could nod my head back, but can't. I just stare up at her, trying to use my eyes to speak. Rapunzel gently lays me down on the ground. From my view, she stands tall and mighty, glaring and balling her hands into fists. She's pissed.

The next thing I know, all I see is light.

I liked writing in Willow's POV, though. I really did. Maybe I might do a whole chapter at the end in Willow's POV. Who knows.
