The sky was beautifully blue with no sign of clouds and the sun shone onto the kingdom. It's a great day for a party. Today, Corona celebrated the defeat of Zhan tiri. The streets were colorful and full of life. Kids were running around, music played and some people were dancing to it.
The queen of Corona walked in the streets, greeting her people. Two girls walked up to her, one slightly taller with red hair and the other one with raven black hair. "Hi Raps. Do you want to go with us?" Asked the taller one. "We were going to check out the stands!" Said the black haired one.
"Oh. I would love to girls but I was looking for Kris. Did you girls see her?" Rapunzel asked the two sisters. They nodded their heads. The black haired replied. "She's in the library, We've already tried getting her out but it's no use." The red head nodded. "Well, I didn't try yet, I'll catch up with you girls!" Rapunzel waved goodbye to the girls and runned to the library. She walked in and started looking for the girl. She found her sitting in a corner of the library, reading. Rapunzel sat next to her.
"Hi Kris, ehm...what'cha reading?" Asked Rapunzel and gently nudged the girls shoulder. Kris looked up at the queen. "Oh, hello, you majesty." The girl greeted. "I told you to call me Rapunzel." The queen smiled at Kris. Kris looked back to her book. "I'm just being polite." She said unimpressed. There was an uncomfortable silence that Rapunzel couldn't stand. "So...what's that book about?" Rapunzel asked again, trying to start a conversation but Kris replied with a simple answer. "Mosquitos..." The queen looked at Kris who once again didn't pay attention to her. "And...Why would you read about them?" Rapunzel asked another question and the girl showed her hand to Rapunzel. "They bit me." She once again replied with a simple answer and went back to reading.
"Oh...Look Kris I have an idea. We should go find Keira and Catalina and spent some time with them. Just us girls. What do you say?" The queen tried getting Kris out of the library. Kristine looked at her and said. "Are you trying to get me to the party?" Kris exactly knew why the queen was here, Today was also Kris's 15th birthday. For Kris, her birthday was a curse, always something bad would happen to her. On her 7th birthday the whole Corona was almost destroyed. On her 9th birthday her dad got sick and her brother left her to go look for a cure with his dad, they never came back. On her 11th birthday she went to the forest so she could get away from her own birthday party and fell into a pit and damaged her brain. And who knows what would happen today, so on this day she just tried to get away from everyone. It was almost like Zhan tiri was the one who cursed her and she desperately tried looking for answers.
"C'mon Kris, birthdays are the best! It's the day you were born! You can't just skip that!" Rapunzel tried to cheer up the girl. Kris looked away from the queen. "I just wish I was never born..." Rapunzel looked shockingly at the girl and grabbed her by shoulders, forcing her to look at Rapunzel. "Don't say that Kris! You're the best person I know, your smart, cunning and kind...in your own way...Don't let just some stupid little things take away what's good in you." Kris looked at the queen, anger in her eyes. Rapunzel realized she said something wrong. Kris got up and started yelling at the queen. "Yea!? You think getting abandoned is just some stupid little thing! Is Corona getting destroyed on MY birthday a stupid thing! Is ME getting myself almost KILLED some stupid little thing! I don't even know why I'm still talking to you!!!" and with that she run away from the library. "Kristine! Wait!" Rapunzel ran after her but lost her in the crowd.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kris ran away with tears, she heard the queen yell after her but she was already running through the crowd. She got to the bridge and ran away to old Corona. As she was running through the forest she stumbled and fell. Kris layed for a while and the she slowly got up, she looked at her scratched palms and held them against her chest. Then she got up and runned rest of the way to her house.
As she closed the door to her house she fell to her knees and cried. 'You're so clumsy Kris... You shouldn't even be here! No one would care. Varian doesn't care... NO! Don't say that!' She slapped herself and wiped her tears. She got up from the floor and walked to her bedroom, where she sat at a desk. She took one of the papers that were on her desk in her hands. It was a letter from Varian. The last one. "Oh...Varian...What should I do..."
She started reading the letter again.
"Hi Krissy,
Hope you're doing okay! I'm fine and dad's been getting better! I'm still trying to make a cure and I'm so close to getting it! We'll be home in no time!
And I've met mermaids on my travels! They're the kindest creatures I've seen. I've told them what an amazing sis you are, and they were so exited to meet you! One day when you're older were going to visit them together. (But in case Rapunzel decides to go on one of her adventures, I've left something there for you ♥~.) And I've also met a nice girl named Aurora! She's teaching me a new type of alchemy! And I think I'm starting to fall in love....
Well...nothing much happened dad says that you should clean up your room before we get back, and to wash your clothes, don't bring any animals in, be nice and don't waste your money! And also he says he loves you and I love you too sis!
Say hi to everyone for me okay! Love you ♥.
-Varian. Leafville."
It was short but sweet. Kris used to write letters everyday, but as days went by she saw no point in it because he didn't reply She always send it on the last address she got; leafville. She hoped Varian would reply. Kris took a pen and a piece of paper and started writing.
"Hi Varian, It's me Kris.
How is dad doing? I hope he's okay, I really count on you to make that cure. And what about Aurora? I would like to see the new alchemy she taught you! I really hope you'll come back. I miss you and dad.
I'm sorry I didn't write for two years now. There's been so much going on. King Frederic died two years ago and Rapunzel is now the queen. She doesn't have that much time for adventures now as she used to but she's still trying to spent time with us.
Keira and Catalina turned twenty this year and Feldspar found a girlfriend! And Cassandra stops by for christmas and my and Rapunzels birthday! I really wish you were here... I don't know what to do. Every birthday's been like a curse for me. I just yelled at Rapunzel for it. I feel like were drifting apart. Like I'M drifting apart from everyone! I just wish to go back to the time when it was simple. Just you and me! And our Raccoon! I just want to run away! But I know that's not right...
Love you.
-Kris"
Kristine had tears in her eyes that threatened to spill. She quickly wiped them of and stood up. 'I can't just run away. Varian said it was never good... I'll have to apologize to Rapunzel.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After sending the letter Kris went to the castle. She was greeted by guards as she went through the gates. Kris remembered when she and Rapunzel used to play here when she was little. Rapunzel and her would always draw with a chalk or just play with Ruddiger, or going on so many adventures into the forest. She missed those times.
She stepped to the castle and instinctively went to the throne room, where all the birthday parties were setup. Kris stopped at the large door. She sighed. "Okay..." She slowly opened the door. Everyone looked at her in shock. They weren't expecting her to be here.
She stood in the doorway awkwardly. "Hi...." She waved. She looked around at everyone. There were Keira and Catalina, Lance, Xavier, Feldspar, Arianna was there too with her sister. Attila, Vlad, Big nose, Ulf, Shorty, Even Max and uncle Monty showed up and of course, there was Rapunzel. Kris looked at the queen and said. "Rapunzel...I need to talk to you.....In private...?" Rapunzel took the girl by her shoulder and guided her out of the throne room.
"What did you want to talk about?" Rapunzel turned to the girl. Kris sighed and suddenly hugged her. Kris let her tears fall as Rapunzel rubbed her back. Just then Kristine confessed her feelings to Rapunzel. "We-We've been s-so distant lately a-and I just want things t-to go ba-ck. I feel like we're no longer friends!" Kriss grip tightened around Rapunzel's waist and Rapunzel patted her head and run her fingers through her hair trying to comfort her.
And then a guard rushed to them. "Queen Rapunzel! The Saporians escaped!" The two girls gasped. The saporians, Kris remembered them...
