Felix:

The door slams behind her; I consider running after her, but decide against it. I walk to the window and call down, "Alex," I call in a harsh whisper.

He rounds to my side of the tower, "Felix, how'd you get up there? Is there like another secret tunnel to get up there?" He shouts up.

I shake my head "It's a long story. There's a girl up here." I say slowly.

"What? What have you two been doing all morning?" He gives me a knowing look, "Is this why you called me, to rub it in my face?" A huge smile planted on his face.

"No!" I quickly dismiss, "I was wandering and climbed up here and found her unconscious."

"Whoa." He ponders that for a moment, catching on to the severity of the situation, "How'd you get up there, you climbed?"

I try to think of a way to put this without sounding crazy, but I can't, "She's got, like, 100 feet of hair that I used to climb inside." I quickly say, watching his face for the reaction.

His face is all scrunched, but begins to laugh it off, "I think you missed too much of your beauty sleep, let's go." He waves me down.

I look around the inside of the tower, still no sign of her, "I can't, she ran away and locked herself in her room." I try to explain.

"Yeah, okay, great. What are we supposed to do now, call the fire department to bring you down?" He jokes.

"No," I try to think, another way down, and "do you have that rope we brought with us?"

"Yeah! Back at camp, should I run and get it? "

"Yes! Go!" I shout.

"Kay, be back in a while. Don't go wandering off again" He chuckles as he runs off towards the path.

Rapunzel:

I can hear them conversing, but can't make out the words, just low mumbles through my door. Then it goes silent. I walk towards the door and try to listen harder, pressing my ear against the door.

"Hey," he says, closer than I imagined, I pull my head away, "I'll be leaving soon, I just wanted you to know. My friend is going to get a rope so I can climb down, you don't have to come out." I hear the floorboards creak as he walks away.

"Wait!" I call out, quickly clamping my hands over my mouth, regretting everything.

"Yeah?" His voice sounds a bit farther away now.

I sigh, opening the door a crack, "So, you didn't come to take me?" I sound like a small child, voice wavering in slight fear.

I hear the stairs creak, "No, why did someone come before, did hurt you?" His voice becomes protective and gestures to me with his hand.

"Huh?" I look down at myself, seeing the unraveling wrap I put on my knee earlier, "Oh, no, I ,uh, fell." I reach up and feel my head, a small bump forming on my forehead, "This too." I crack a tiny smile, which he returns, his lips pulling up slightly at the sides.

"You think someone is after you then? For what," his smile disappears, he looks down at my feet and the coils of hair bundled there "for your hair?" He asks. I pull it behind me protectively, silently answering his question. "I don't understand, so it's super long, that's nice and all but why would they want you for that?" he takes a step closer, sincerity in his eyes.

"I've...." I try to say something but I'm speechless, letting my words trail off.

He notices and changes the subject "So you've never left this place?" he inquires.

I simply nod in response, my eyes not leaving the ground. "Is it that obvious?" I laugh.

"Ha," he exhales, "kinda." now I can't help but look up and smile and see him smiling back.
