A test story of an alternate universe aftermath.
........
Rapunzel's adoptive Mother, Gothel, has been imprisoned for treason against the princess royal. But Zella wants to know why she was kidnapped.
........
Some might think the middle of the night is quiet, silent, or peaceful in the kingdom of Corona, and some are right. In the daylight, noise surrounds Most and Some. As the sun sets, noise surrounds Some and Most. When the last bell of the day sounds from the town clock, silence rules. Even in the castle where over a hundred people live to protect and serve the royal family of Corona. Some say it is quiet because Most are dormant. On this glorious night, the Queen was ill, but they found a cure. The princess was delivered but then stolen. The princess was born at 12:04 pm and everyone was celebrating noisily. The princess took her first breath at 12:04:10pm and the entire kingdom- whether Some or Most- slept. The queen slept. The king slept. The doctors, nurses, servants, horsemen, and guards slept. The princess, though, did not sleep. Neither did Gothel. That was the first day in a hundred years that Most were up past midnight and Some slept at night. The newborn princess was kidnapped on the night of her birth. The sun rose and fell twice, and everyone was asleep. On the third rising they wake from their slumber. Panic rose when Rapunzel was not found.

The Truth Behind Rapunzel (Gothel)
No sooner have I stepped inside than someone speaks up, "Hand over your first born child, Gothel." I spin around to be faced with a mysterious pair of blue eyes and a wry smile. "Rumplestiltskin." I breathe, "I thought you went off to explore the world." "I did. Now I'm back. I will expect you to uphold your promise." He says, running a hand through his long, dark hair. "I made that promise when I was eight." I reply, thinking back. "I'm never going to get married and I'm never going to have children!" I declared decisively. "Really?" Rumplestiltskin inquired. "Yes. Boys are stupid." "Hey! That's not very nice." Rumplestiltskin whined, putting his hands on his hips. I stuck my tongue out. "Fine. Then if you are never going to get married, I suppose you won't mind agreeing to give me your first born child." He challenged. "Alright. Because it will NEVER happen!" "A promise is a promise." Rumplestiltskin says, "You must uphold your word." "For your information, this child isn't even mine." I respond. This takes Rumpelstiltskin by surprise. "She's not?" I explain what happened. "Well, she is a first born child, and now she's yours, so she IS your first born child." He decides.Complete

The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025Complete

In fact, she had a beautiful daughter, Griselda, who made her mother proud as she filled her days tormenting the other "lost souls" with her four best friends... the VKs. That is until one day, when Prince Ben signs a new decree stating that four pf the friends be sent to spend the rest of their teenage days at Auradon Preparatory Academy... without her. *Disclaimer: I do not own the Disney Descendants, nor do I own any character except Elda.

Every Day in May (grand prize winner) ✔
***WINNER of the "BREATHTAKING: A FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WRITING COMPETITION!" "You are a secret kept from the world, but not from me." So begins the peculiar message found slipped under a bedroom door on the morning of May first. Theo is the heir to a powerful dictatorship. The number of people allowed to know he exists is few. He has spent his entire life walled up in the Tower, the looming stone monolith from which his father rules over the Land. Merryn is the daughter of political prisoners. She's known who Theo is longer than he would think possible, and she is taking a great risk contacting him via handwritten notes in order to convince him he deserves more than the fate his father has designed for him. She has one month to exchange daily messages with him, to answer his questions and open his eyes to the realities of a world he has never been allowed to see. A revolution is coming to the Land at the end of the month, and if Merryn's notes fail to get their point across, Theo may never live to see the sunrise on June first. A/N: The following letters were originally published each day from May 1st-31st, 2014. As you will see,Theo is allowed to write down a question for Merryn each evening, but you, the reader, won't see these within the body of the story. It may or may not be obvious from Merryn's response what Theo is asking. Part of the fun is guessing what his questions might be, but if you really want to know what they are, a list of those questions is at the end of the story. This story is a re-imagining of Rapunzel. Now, without further ado-I believe a young heir is about to unfold a slip of paper found on the tile floor near his door... Let's see what it says!Complete
