Chapter 19: Aqua

Rapunzel's Pov

I didn't know why Elsa cried to me, she looked really sad... what did she mean she'll make things right? make what right?

"Oh! nothing... sorry... lets go find a spot to watch the parade, okay?" she smiled whipping away her tears

"Okay...if your sure..."

"Of course I'm sure! Its your birthday! i want you to have a good one!" she smiled brightly

"Okay...lets go then!" i cheered and we all walked along to find a good spot to sit on. we manage to find one near the cotton candy machine! yay! Anna and I bought ourselves a huge bag and ate it all while looking at the most amazing parade ever! the people in the parade had flouting lanterns with them. everyone in the audience were given one too! i had one with the sun i always draw, everyone seem to have a completely different one, i called over to the man who were giving out the lanterns "excuse me! hi! why is mine so much different from the rest?" i asked politely

"Oh! you must be lucky! you see, not one lantern is alike, but the one you have there is identical to the people who own this parade" he smiled

"Really?" i was surprised and looked at my lantern that was ready to be released

"Yes, do you know the lanterns story?" he asked, me and my friends shook our head, except Elsa, who was frowning and looking away holding a folded up sheet of paper, i have to see whats bothering her later

"Well, the founder of this parade has a story. you see, their only daughter was kidnapped and has not returned for 18 years, the lost child's birthday is today and we release these lanterns every year hoping our lost princess will return" he sadly smiled.

A kidnapped daughter who has the same birthday as me? thats awful! i cant imagine what the parents could be feeling right now...

"Really? thats awful! its been 18 years too?" Merida gasped, the man nodded frowning

"Yes, everyone in town are close friends with the founders. they own a jewelry store not too far from here, everyone adored the little princess, and was so crushed to find out she went missing..." i feel heart broken now "the lanterns shall be released soon! have a good night everyone" he smiled

"Goodnight sir" i smiled waving. later that night, we were allowed to released the lanterns into the glimmering sky, it was the most beautiful thing i ever seen! this seemed familiar to me...

Thats right! back at home, i didn't always have the same room i had now, i was in a different room on the other side of the house, every night on my birthday, i would always see these stars flouting into the sky, it always amazes me... and i couldn't help but wonder that they were meant for me! But i was put in another room and forgotten about the stars years later...

Eugene held my hand and kissed my cheek. i blushed hard. he chuckled "happy birthday Rapunzel" he smiled giving me a small box, i opened it and saw a pretty pink pearl attached to a gold ring, there was a small sun bead next to the pearl...it was beautiful

"Thankyou Eugene..." i cried and hugged him, he chuckled and gently hugged me back, being careful with my bruises.

After everything was over, it was 11 o clock, i had to get home soon.

Anna's Pov

Elsa was acting strange... she cried in Rapunzel's arms for no reason, or was there? what happened?

We all walked to look for a place to sit, Rapunzel and I got two big bags of cotton candy! i was so happy, we sat down and Elsa sat next to me taking a piece of cotton from my bag

"Hey!" i giggled

"Hello" she teased

"Not what i meant" i giggled. she rolled her eyes amused and ate her candy "so...are you okay?" i finally asked

"Yes, I'm fine" she convinced

"Okay... oh! i wanna show you something!" i took out the missing child's poster and handed it to her, she frowned "isn't this our cousin?"

"No..." she folded up the paper and sighed

"Really? but it looks so much like her"

"...Lets not talk about this right now Anna..." what happened? she was so happy earlier "i'll talk to you when we go back to burgess" she forced a smile

"Okay..." after the beautiful light show, we decided to go home, right before we stepped to the border of burgess, The boys put back the chains, which took about 20 minutes. Rapunzel was getting anxious. and Elsa was getting impatient and nearly froze the door next to her, oh no...

The ride was calming, Elsa made herself calm down, and Rapunzel fell asleep while dropping off Hiccup and Merida.

"Want me to drop you guys off?" Eugene asked me, Kristof and Elsa

"No" Elsa straight up said, i looked at her funny "i wanna drop off Rapunzel first" wait what? was she mad? Eugene nodded slowly and parked in front of a three story house! it was huge! much bigger than ours!! It wasn't a mansion but it was pretty dang close!

Eugene took sleeping Rapunzel out the car and into his arms. Elsa followed, so me and Kristof followed behind worried "Rapunzel...we're here" Eugene whispered waking her up and placing her on the ground

She rubbed her sleepy eyes "oh? okay... Thank you.." She didn't seem to notice we were near her, she looked at Eugene in a snap wide eyed "what time is it?!" Eugene bit his lips

"12:01..." he admit

"Oh no!" she rang the door bell nervously, i looked over at Elsa, she was glaring at the door... the door slammed open revealing a woman with large curly black hair and pale skin

"Rapunzel?! where have you been!?" she shouted and realized we were present, Kristof held my hand "oh? hello, who are you all?" she asked politely, did she go bipolar there?

"M-my friends" Rapunzel stuttered

"Huh? very well, come in now, i like to ask you a question" she softly yanked on her hand and brought her inside, Elsa stopped the door from closing

"Now hold on miss... what ever you can ask her, you can ask in front of us" she told her, the woman hesitated and let us in her home. We all sat in the same long couch together. the woman sat on a smaller one across from us. she dug in her dress pocket and took out the necklace our cousin had in the picture...why did she have it?

"What is this Rapunzel? i don't remember buying this for you" the woman said in a angry facial expression

"I-it was a gift..." Rapunzel responded nervously, Elsa crossed her arms over her chest

"A gift this expensive? this must've cost about 1 million dollars!" 1 million!? theres no way that can be the same necklace our cousin wore!

Rapunzel gulped, Eugene looked nervous "you sneak out without my permission, didn't you?" Rapunzel started shaking and Eugene held her "i think its time for you to all go" she told us, she snatched Rapunzel's arm and she screamed in pain

Rapunzel's Pov

Shes going to beat me! I don't wanna get beaten! i just had the best day of my life! i don't wanna end it with a beating, mother snatched my arm and i screamed from the top of my lungs at the pain of my bruises. i cried and tried to pull away but her grip was too strong! i cant believe she was being this way in front of guest! I thought she didn't want to blow her cover

Elsa snatched mothers arm away without her gloves and glared at her... i never seen her so angry... She continued to glare and squeeze mothers arm, she tried to snatch her hand away but Elsa wouldnt let go, my friends stood up wide eyed

"Elsa... calm down..." Anna told her holding out her hands to calm her down, but Elsa didn't listen, i gasped

"Elsa! your eyes..." i cupped my lips shocked

"What?! what color are they?!" Anna freaked

"They're glowing aqua..." Elsa started to freeze mothers arm, my eyes widened and Eugene brought me to his arms pulling me away

"Who are you!? because its clear to me that you are NOT Rapunzel's mother!" she yelled glaring like crazy, i was frozen in fear, why was she so mad?! why would she say something like that?!

"W-what are you talking about!? of course I'm her mother!" Mother fought, freaking out over the iced arm

"No! you're not!" Elsa hissed and threw her backwards breaking the ice with her other hand. mother flew back and landed by the couch glaring, she dug in a dresser and took out a gun, i gasped

"Mother no!" i tried to stop her but Eugene had me locked, mother pointed the gun at Elsa, but Elsa didn't look scared. she froze the gun and threw it to the other wall

"Elsa stop!" Anna begged trying to stop her, but Kristof had her lock too.

Elsa grabbed onto mothers collar and brought her closer to her face continuing to glare, she was freezing her dress that she was grabbing.

"Who are you!? how dare you kidnap my cousin from her family!? explain yourself!?" my eyes widened, cousin...? kidnap...?

"I-i don't know what your talking about..." 'mother' stuttered

"You know exactly what I'm talking about! You kidnapped Rapunzel 18 years ago!! your kidnapped my cousin from my Aunt and Uncle! how dare you!?" she threw 'mother' again backwards and made her smash the dresser she landed on.

"Anna! whats wrong with her!?" i cried, i didn't like seeing Elsa like this...

"I don't know! you said her eyes were glowing aqua! i don't know how she acts with this color! She seems to know we are still in reality!"she cried, what was she talking about!?

I looked over and saw 'mother' holding a knife in her hands, did she grab that when i was looking away? again, Elsa wasn't afraid.

She froze everything around us, sharp icicles surrounded 'mother'

"Any last words...?" she hissed. 'mother' threw her knife on the side of Elsa's stomach, she groaned "i guess thats good enough..."

"ELSA!!" Anna cried struggling out of Kristof's arms but it was too late. we gasped at the icicle that stabbed 'mother' in the side. it wasn't enough to kill her, but she still fainted

Elsa dropped on her knees and covered her face "what have i done...?" Anna and i walked over to her, Kristof took out his phone and dialed 9-1-1

"Elsa..." i frowned looking at her eyes, they were turning from regular blue to a aqua back and forth and stopped at her regular blue color

"I-I'm sorry... i don't know what got over me... i wasn't planning to hurt her like this..." she cried picking up the necklace Eugene stole...

"Why did you call me your cousin Elsa...?" i asked sitting on my knees in front of her. she frowned at Anna then looked back at me. she dug in her bag and took out her wallet and took out a small picture. 2 year old Elsa was hugging the little blonde with the necklace Eugene stole...

"This is you Rapunzel... i wanted to tell you at the end of the day... but i had no idea you were kidnapped..." she showed me another picture of the blonde and two adults hugging her "and this your parents... my Aunt and Uncle... I saw them earlier in the parade when i was going to buy you a gift, they told me what happened and i just snapped here... i don't know what got over me..." She cried, i attack hugged her. i head sirens outside, i didn't break the hug.

"Get up before they suspect something..." Anna warned, we quickly got up and Kristof opened the door, Eugene looked scared. i held his hand mouthing 'it'll be okay'

A group of police man came in and a person from an ambulance helped up 'mother'

"What happened?!" Wait a minute... thats Olaf!

"Uncle Olaf... why are you wearing a police uniform" Anna asked looking at him up and down, Olaf scratched his head awkwardly

"Well... this is my job..." he admit. Elsa continued to stare at the floor. He signed the other officers to leave us alone for awhile after they took 'mother' "so might explaining to me why that woman got stabbed in the side with ice?" he asked placing his fist on his hip

I walked over "E-Elsa was helping me... but she lost it and hurt that woman because she found out that that woman kidnapped me years ago..." he sighed

"Yes... i am aware of your kidnap, when i met you today, i knew who you were, and wanted Elsa to tell you who you were before i could tell more information, tell me what you saw"

I nodded "um... Elsa looked mad the whole ride home for some reason, and 'mother' wanted to ask about where i got the necklace Elsa is holding. Elsa wanted to hear the question, and then 'mother' hurt my arm and thats when Elsa snapped and hurt her with ice..." i explained

"But wait..." Olaf took the necklace and looked at it closer "this was stolen weeks ago back in Corona, i know this because its one of a kind, your parents made this for you... but where did you get it?" i bit my lip, Eugene stepped up

"Me sir..." he said, Anna and Elsa looked at him, i frowned "i stole it from the family who makes jewelry... i-I'm sorry" he looked down

"Eugene... you don't have to do this" i frowned running up to him

"I already did" he handed over his wrist to Olaf "i deserve whats coming" Olaf stared

"You're the young man that roamed the country and stole jewelry aren't you?" He looked at what i guess was my necklace, Eugene nodded ashamed "I'm not going to arrest you" he crossed his arms "you stole something and basically returned it to the rightful owner" he handed me the necklace "i expect you to return the things you stole"

"Yeah... that'll be a problem" he scratched his head. Olaf raised his brow

"Why?"

"Because i sold those jewels and donated the money to hospitals and to orphanages" he admit

"We'll see what we can do, but first...Elsa?" he looked at elsa still looking at the floor "you okay?"

"I... i killed someone..." She whispered looking at her naked hands, her eyes looked in pain and then held her bloody side that 'mother' stabbed not to long ago, i gasped! how could i forget that?!

"We cant know that for certain, the icicle wasn't deep in, you stopped yourself enough to not stab her too deep" he pointed out, he gave elsa a bandana and told her to give the cut some pressure so he could tell the ambulance people to help , but she refused to take the banana or the help

"Uncle Olaf..." Anna called "Rapunzel said she saw her eyes glow aqua..." His eyes went wide and his head snapped at Elsa, who looked at him weird

"What about my eyes? theres no way they can actually glow like you said...ugh.." she frowned and her pain grew

"Your right..." Olaf ran his hand in his wild black hair "just get home and fix that cut. since you don't want my help...since you live here Rapunzel, why not sleep over with Anna and Elsa?" He walked outside, i looked at my necklace and then Elsa, she was staring at her bloody hand

"I believe you Elsa..." i half way smiled, she looked at me "i believe your my cousin" i reached for her hands, but she snatched them out of reach, "I'm not scared, you might've done some things, but you rescued me from that witch, thank you... " I hugged her i didn't care that she was bleeding on my shirt, she didn't hug back

"Im just glad your safe" she sighed and i let go

"Come! we'll talk at home! We have to heal that wound!" Anna panicked and pulled Elsa's sleeve outside while me, Kristof, and Eugene followed.

Eugene dropped off Kristof, who kissed Anna good-bye. i smiled at this, but Elsa didn't notice, she keeps frowning at the road, ignoring the pain the whole ride. why didn't she ask for help?

We made it to both my cousins house...still strange to say.the girls got out the truck and quickly ran inside. i looked over at Eugene

"Look... your luck finally made its way to you" he smiled

"Yeah...do you think i'll get to meet my real parents?" i asked

"With the help of Elsa, I'm sure you can see them after all these years" i smiled, he held my cheek and kissed me passionately, i closed my eyes and enjoyed every minute of it "see you tomorrow, i'll come over later" he smiled. i blushed and got out the truck and to the house to Elsa and Anna

"I'm going to my room... you can sleep in Anna's room or the extra room next to her... I'm going to sleep now... goodnight, we can see Aunt Rosa and Uncle Tom tomorrow..." Elsa frowned and went upstairs to her room without the cut being helped

"Wait! dont you need some help!?" i asked concerned

"Im fine..." she pressed on her wound and left

"W-whats wrong with her?" i asked concerned

"Honestly... Elsa is full of mysteries, i don't know myself... She'll be fine, she lost more blood then this, but what do you say on some hot cocoa?" Anna smiled. i smiled back and nodded

---------------

Oohh! crazy stuff happened here! Elsa might or might not have killed Gothel. why did her eyes glow aqua? i mean... you know why her eyes turned turquoise, its because she turns to the monster. but Aqua? have to find out for herself! Bye now!
