We choose our dreams, not our nightmares

Rapunzel and Cassandra hugged. They finally got along after that awful year of anger, fear and war between the sundrop and the moonstone.

"I'm sorry!"- said Cassandra as she cried.
"It's okay, Cass!"- Rapunzel hugged her and there was happily ever after...again!

Rapunzel woke up. She was so disappointed that was only a dream. She was lying on a cold, dusty floor. She coughed.

"What? Where am I?"- she asked herself.

It was cold and dark. The only light was coming from a small window. The moon was so bright that night.

Rapunzel started slowly getting up. Her head hurt. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the little, adorable, four year old Cassandra walked and looked through the window. Rapunzel was shocked.

The little Cassandra was hugging her toy while she was humming.

"Mama, it's cold!"-she said as she started crying. -"I miss you!"

Rapunzel's eyes watered with tears. She knew it wasn't her fault but deep down in her heart she felt guilty.

"I'm sorry!"- she whispered.

The little girl heard her tiny voice.

"Mama?"- asked Cass. She was afraid. She couldn't see Rapunzel in the dark side of the room.

"No, it's me."- said the princess as she made a step. Cassandra could see her face clear now in the moon light. She squeezed her toy out of fear and closed her eyes.

"Don't be afraid! I want to help you."

The poor child opened her eyes. She looked at her calmly and smiled. Rapunzel calmed and smiled as well. Then, the girl started walking slowly towards Rapunzel. The closer she got to her, the older she got. Rapunzel's heart started beating fast. She got afraid again.

Cassandra was walking, and walking, and walking. Her hair went from long to short. She was getting taller with every step. Rapunzel got really anxious.

"Cass?"- she said. Cassandra started walking faster. She now looked like a teenager. Rapunzel now got really afraid and started stepping back.

"How can I help you?"- she yelled of fear. Cassandra was still smiling. When she got as old as she was when she was friends with Rapunzel, she stopped walking. And yes, she was still smiling.

"I asked, how can I help you?"- Rapunzel asked while crying of fear. She was never that afraid in her entire life.

Suddenly, Cassandra disappeared. Rapunzel was shocked. She looked around the room, but she couldn't see her.

"Die!"- the evil Cassandra yelled while grabbing Rapunzel. She dragged her into the dark side of the room. The princess tried to scream, but Cassandra covered her mouth.

Now, Rapunzel hoped that was a dream as well.
