Chapter 36
~Rapunzel P.O.V.~
"Merida!! Help me!!" I shouted. I ran to the nearest wall. "Sis, I'm here!! Merida!!!!"
"How did you get in here?" -Nefaria
"I followed som wisps woman. Where's my sistah?" -Merida
"Mer, I'm here!!!" 'Oh. Please here me out.' I started to cry. How can she hear me now??--- now that I don’t exist.
"She's dead, don't you remember?"
"No she isn't. Sahmone told meh, I can faynd her! Now tell meh where!"
I heard a hit on the wall. Nefaria better not lay a finger on Merida.
"Tha' wasn't tha best thing ye can do, right? C'me on!"
Another hit. I felt the wall became warmer.
"Hah. Why are you alone looking for your sister? Where are the others? Don't they care about little Punzel?"
I paused. My eyes were wide open. No, they cared!!
"I sneaked owt. I don't want theym to be harm'd. Where's Pitch? Ain't he suppose to c'me and help ye? Huh!??"
"He's busy! Move out from that wall!!"
There was a hit again.
"Why? ....." I am here! Hear me!! "Ohh. She's on the other side ain't she?"
"Clever. But not clever enough. AAAAAAAAGH!"
*BOOOM* The walls broke free.
I screamed and moved away.
~Nefaria P.O.V.~
Shit! Pitch is going to kill me!
"Stupid!" I shouted.
"Ha! Who's clever now? I am! BLL :P!!"
"You will not be able to see her still. She's now a spirit." I said. I saw Rapunzel coming towards Merida.
"Dare move an inch golden hair." I said.
"I mayt not see her, aye. But I can hear her." Merida referred to Rapunzel.
I laughed."Really now?"
"Pft. Yah. Ye think I haven’t heard her after ye t’ok her out of her own figure? Newsflash emo, theys LAVAFLOOD is an Interpreter to mystical creatures and even to those who were terminated by Pitch."
I paused. That’s not possible. Pitch would’ve known this.
“As much as I would like to keep talking and tell ye all about theys, but you see.. I’m in a middle of a rescue mission. Rapunzel, GO!”
I shot off-guarded. Rapunzel and Merida ran towards the exit or well… slash ENTRANCE.
"No!!"
BANG!
Pitch blasted his nightmare sand on Merida and she fell before she could make her escape.
"Merida!!" Rapunzel knelt down beside her sister.
"That was close." I sighed.
"Too close, I should say." Pitch corrected. I gulped. "Where were you?"
"I was on watch."
"On watch? And this is how you guard a prisoner??" He pointed out to the two girls.
"It was a wrong hit. I'm sorry."
Pitch scowled. "Pathetic." I glared. I never like him calling me pathetic. I tried, you know. He never understands. No one does.
"Merida?" Rapunzel shivered. "What did you do to her Pitch?"
"I gave her a bittersweet nightmare, that's all. As for you, you're going back."
"Back?"
"You'll thank me later. Hmm.. Maybe."
What does he mean?
Pitch's nightmare sand caught me by my waist. I groaned. "What are you doing?!"
He is slowly getting myself out of Rapunzel's body. I feel my soul draining. "You were useless. You're meant to stay dead." Finally, he took my soul and placed Rapunzel back.
I was now floating, seeing Rapunzel changing her body back into it's usual features. Pitch was a jerk. Mother will kill him for what he did.
"But what about Nefaria?" Rapunzel asked.
"She'll be who she'll always be."
~Bunny P.O.V.~
Mate Hiccup was stressed of the battle replanning. He didn't made any plans to it yet. We were all too tired to even think about it. We decided to hit the hay but before I could get to mine, I went to Tooth. I noticed she was not herself after the replanning.
I knocked on her door. "Tooth? Uhm, can I have a second, mate?"
I heard her footsteps from inside. They were in a slow pace. Wait. Why is she even walking? She does not need to walk, she has wings.
Tooth opened the door and greeted me, "Hi Bunny. What is it you want to talk about?" She asked in a really very tired tone.
"Tooth, are you alright? You look... weak." I said with worry in my eyes. I can feel something very wrong about this.
"Uhm, no. I'm... I'm fine, thank you Bunny." She smiled sheepishly.
"Are you sure? You know I saw you awhile ago and... you didn't look so good. Are you sick?"
She stood firmly and told me she was just fine and maybe it's just because she's tired. But I still don't think she's just fine. That phrase is a girl's bigest lie.
Not sooner, she collapsed in front of me. Instinct rush through me and I caught her by my paws. I was sweating. I never got the chance to carry her. I took her to North. She was super light.
"She's getting weak." I heard North's thick Russian accent. "It's the children."
"What should we do? She can't be like this forever!"
"Of course not! We wouldn't dare let her stay like this. But we also can't collect teeth for her since she might be the only one who could know the locations of the children needed to be collected for teeth."
"Do you think Baby Tooth would know?" I asked.
"There's a possibility."
"I'll get her." I moved and headed back to Tooth's room where her other mini fairies might be sleeping. I hopped inside and saw them in their beds.
"Baby Tooth." I whisper-shouted and tapped her. She didn't respond. "Baby Tooth, we need your help." She still did not wake up. The other mini fairies didn't as well. "Not you guys too." I sighed and went back to North. "They're as weak as her."
"Then I guess we have nothing else to do." North scratched his head and bowed down. I, on the other hand, am not in the mood for a scratch. Crickey, we need to do something!
"How many days 'til Christmas, mate?"
North tilted his head and stared at me, confusedly. "Just about 2 days from now."
"You better prepare your gifts before Pitch spoils them rotten. I don't want it to end like my eggs the last time."
"Why are you saying this? Aren't you suppose to hate Christmas Season?"
"Well as for this moment mate, I don't have a choice. It's the only way to boost a little energy on Tooth." I said. I hope this would work.
North nodded and smirked. Oh crockey, what's that face for? "Good. You'll be helping the yetis paint, the first thing on the morning."
I knew it. "O_O What? Woah, hold on there--"
"You said, it's the only way to help her. SO that means you'll do anything to help me, help her." He gestured to Tooth. I sighed.
"Fine. But I won't paint red. Give me other colors except that color."
"Done. Haha!"
~Nefaria P.O.V.~
At least right now, I'm still free from the abyss. But unfortunately, I'm just a soul. Pitch took Rapunzel and Merida, put them inside a jail room. They're now both imprisoned. He left them there.
"Nefaria..." Rapunzel called.
"What now?" I said angrily.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. It ain't your fault." How come I said that? o.o
"Hmm." She smiled. "I knew there's something good inside you. I have to say, I was angry that you took my body. But I forgive you."
I was surprised. "You? Forgive me?" I gave her a confused look. She just nodded. "But I was horrible to you and your friends."
"I guess your heart was rough when you revenge but it will soften when you'll be loved. You just need a friend Nefaria."
I saddened upon hearing it. "But I don't have one." I said.
"No, you have! Me." Rapunzel smiled at me. I don't know what to feel. I just think I'm being unfair to her. I desperately wanted to make my revenge on the Guardians and yes she was right that I need a friend. She's now offering herself as my own and if she becomes my friend, I might be afraid to harm hers.
"You can't be my friend."
"Why not? Is it because of the Guardians? Nefaria, I don't think there's a need for a revenge. Just learn to forgive. I forgave you. You should know how to forgive them too."
"I... I don't know Rapunzel. I just can't. I---" Rapunzel's face frowned as I told her but I'll continue nevertheless. "I can't forgive them Rapunzel. I--- I'm sorry." I flew away and left her.
A part of me is sorry. A part of me is also mad. There's only one thing to get over with this madness.
I need to find a spot outside the lair.
