Episode 4-12: Held Hostage!

Later at the guest room, the Scarabia resident escorts Vivien, Grim, Rapunzel and the gang to their rooms where it is filled with four beds.

"This is your room for tonight, please enjoy your stay." He informs and Vivien nods.

"Why thank you, young child. Goodnight and please get some rest." She politely assured and he nods as he closes the door shut.

"Uuughhhh! I can't believe that we're staying at Scarabia! Why did you guys have to be involved into their sh#t!?" Grim whines.

"Um hello, have you forgotten why we came here? Iman send Glory a letter about Jamil is brainwashing Kalim into having their members think he's a bad dorm leader, so he could have the role as the dorm leader." Cassandra reminds him.

"And not to mentioned that we've got ourselves in a pickle." Eugene points out cringing at his own actions.

"No sh#t, Fitzherbert." Vivien curtly snarks making Eugene rolling his eyes.

"Well I'm not gonna be involved with this sabotage plan cuz I'm going back to Ramshackle dorm! You guys are on your own!" Grim rants as he stomps his way to the door.

"Are you serious right now?" Eugene ask curling his brows at the gremlin.

"Grim you can't! What if the Scarabia residents caught you roaming around? You'll be in big trouble!" Rapunzel seethes.

"I highly doubt you'll able to escape with those Scarabia kids out there." Cassandra bluntly points out.

"They're right. No matter what you do, you'll be thrown back in the room in a split second according to the vision." Vivien warns him.

"F#*k your stupid future vision! I'll make it back home! You'll see!" Grim vows as he slams the door leaving Vivien and the group with a deadpan look and sweatdrops.

"...He's so screwed." Eugene flatly points out.

"Screwed indeed." Vivien agrees.

"Yup." Rapunzel and Cassandra chimes with Pascal and Owl shaking their heads at the outcome.

"Annnnnd he'll back here in three, two, one..." Vivien counted and cue the whistle from the outside.

"What's that sound!?" Grim shouts from the outside as they can hear footsteps are scampered next to their door.

"You! What's the meaning of this!?" The Scarabia resident bellows.

"During the winter vacation, it doesn't matter who you are, nobody is allowed to leave without the dorm head's permission!" The second Scarabia resident shouts.

"What the hell!? I'm getting outta of here!" Grim shrieks as they can hear him scurrying through the halls with the Scarabia residents chasing after the hasty gremlin.

One hour later....

After an hour of waiting, the door is heard opened when everyone whip their heads to see a speck of light the halls.

"Oh well you look at that, the cat is back." Eugene sarcastically remarks as they watched Grim squirming from being carried.

"Gaaaah! Let me go! This is embarrassing! I'm not a mouse!" Grim whines while flailing his arms to break free from the Scarabia resident's grasp.

"Get in there! Jeez, this mouse is a handful." He mutters.

"Owowowowow! Don't just grab me by the scruff and drag me around, y'know!" He complains. Then Vivien stood up from the floor and saunters to the Scarabia resident calmly.

"I'll take care of him for now, if you please." She politely insists and the Scarabia resident nod.

"Here you go." He said as he drops Grim to the lake goddess's arms.

"Ow! Jeez, you grab me so harsh!" He grumbles while being held on by Vivien. The Scarabia student groans and turns to the other Scarabia students.

"How the hell did this little noisy mouse escaped anyway?!" He bellows.

"I guess the guy that's supposed to be watching them forgot to lock their door." The Scarabia resident guesses causing the first Scarabia resident to click his tongue at this assumption.

"For crying out...Make sure it's actually locked this time! Do you have any idea what would happen to us if the dorm head found out?" He reminds him and the other Scarabia student nods slightly.

"You're right..." He mutters as the first Scarabia student spun his head back to the group.

"We won't let you off easy if you pull a stunt like that again!" He warns them with Vivien smiling politely at them.

"Oh don't you worry, we'll make sure this won't happened again." Vivien reassures them calmly with a polite grin.

For now.

Vivien ponders while smiling innocently causing Cassandra to curl her brows as the Scarabia residents slam the door shut and they can hear chains being wrapped from the knobs until they hears a click shocking the group including Rapunzel herself.

No!

Rapunzel thought as she is on the verge of panicking. Eugene glance back at his wife to notice his beloved queen trembling.

"Rapunzel!..." Eugene mutters with his eyes widen to see his wife on the verge of a meltdown. Grim and Cassandra then scampers over to the door and bangs the door with his paws.

"Let us out!" Grim shouts as he wiggles the locks out of vain until he sighs and Cassandra clicks her tongue.

"Crap! They locked us up!" She seethes as she slams her fist out of frustration.

"...This is bad...no...no!" Rapunzel stammers as she stands up to the floor and out of the blue, Rapunzel storms out with her husband and Vivien trailing after her.

"Rapunzel wait!" Eugene halts running after her.

"Sun child!" Vivien yelps as soon as they go to the door, Rapunzel pushes Grim out of the door and starts flailing her fists and bang it against the door persistently shocking Grim.

"Let us out! Let us out please! Unlock this door now! I swear! I'm gonna-! No! No! Nooooo!!" Rapunzel demands slamming her fists constantly with a panicked look. Worried, Cassandra saunters to Rapunzel while Eugene and Vivien runs to her aid.

"Whoa whoa! Easy there, Raps! Easy! Calm down!" Cassandra ceases her laying her hands on her shoulders.

"...But...But!" She stammers as memories of her dreaded years of being held captive by her former adopted mother flood from her mind, but Eugene immediately came to his wife's aid and wraps his arms around her.

"Honey, please. Everything's gonna be fine. I know this is traumatic for you, but we're gonna pull this off. We'll do our best, just try to relax and breathe." Eugene whispers stroking her head gently with Rapunzel grabbing his arms squinting her eyes shut with a grimace look on her face.

"I...I...." She is lost with words as Rapunzel is on the verge of tearing up while traumatic memories of Gothel psychological abusing her into thinking the world isn't a safe place swirls around her mind. Vivien then grabs her chin and plants a kiss on her forehead as she lays her temple against hers.

"Fret not, Sun child. I may not have Merlin and Moonchild's mental healing ability, but everything is going to be fine. We'll come up with another strategy. I promise you that. Now like Eugene said, take a deep breath and exhale out gently." She gently comforts her caressing her cheeks with her thumbs. Rapunzel remain silent for a minute before doing what she and Eugene told her to do.

"...Alright...I think I'm okay now, thanks." She thanked them with a small smile and Vivien nods.

"Good." She replies with a warm smile.

"What's her deal?" Grim ask curiously looking baffled yet scared causing Cassandra to sigh and lay her hand on her temple and Eugene sighs from his nose before glancing down at Grim.

"Well, let's just say her past is a sensitive subject that we all touched upon." Eugene told him while comforting his wife.

"Sides, you heard the story. She was locked into a tower by my own mom...my real mom..." Cassandra mutters as she grimace when saying her name perking Grim's mind.

"Oh right! I almost blank on that one! But I don't blame her though. Seriously, is this how you treat your guests? This is no different from being prisoners. I'm giving Jamil an earful when we see him tomorrow!" Grim chides.

"Furthermore. Our paradise has become a prison...Just like what Vivi said." Cassandra mutters.

"...That I can agree on, but don't worry! I still have this weird device called a "smart phone" that Glory gave to me this afternoon. I'll call him about this." Rapunzel suggests much to Grim's elation.

"Ha! Good idea! Have him come take care of Scarabia!" He impatiently assures.

"I'm going to, hold on." Rapunzel ceases him as she presses the buttons with Vivien looked deadpan.

"I highly doubt he would." She mumbles.

"What?" Rapunzel ask glancing at her with a confused look.

"Never mind, just dial his number." She instructs and the queen nods firmly.

"Right." She complies as Rapunzel dialed his number and the phone rings through the phone for a minute.

"This is Crowley." He said.

"Crowley, thank god you're here! We need your help!" Rapunzel pleads.

"Yeah! Things are a mess since you've been gone!" Grim chides, but Owl smack his head with his wing to shut him up.

"Ow!" He winces as he rubs his head with a scowl with the owl huffs in response.

"I'm currently down south for Vaca...Ahem! Some very important work and have my phone turned off. If you have business please leave a message after the beep. Depending on how I feel I'll get back to you. For I am gracious." Crowley informs leaving him dumbfounded except for Vivien, whom remained deadpan when hearing this.

"Huh? What!?" Rapunzel stammers with a shock look.

"You've got to be kidding me." Eugene grumbles face palming at his message.

"Honestly, I knew he's giving off serious lazy uncle vibes when we first met him." Cassandra bluntly remarks.

"Screw you!!! Didn't he just say vacation!? What's even the point if we can't get ahold of you at times like this!?" Grim rants as the brunette lake goddess lets out a sigh.

"....Just as I expected, he's an irresponsible birdbrain who rather fly away from problems and let other people solve his problems for him." Vivien impassively explains.

"Damn right! No wonder why that old midget has to deal with his sh#t 24/7! This guy is the personification of irresponsibility! I wish we could call Ace and Deuce, but Glory isn't here cuz she has their number and was taken in by that hypnotized dorm head!" Grim chides.

"Regardless, we all should get some rest for tonight. Tomorrow is the day we all have to plan out a strategy and I'll have to get Glory to sneak out of Kalim's room so we could all sort of a plan next." Vivien instructs and all of them nod.

"Gotcha." She firmly replies pointing a finger at her.

"Ditto." Eugene complies with a thumbs up.

"I agree, Pascal, looks like we're going to rest here for tonight." Rapunzel assures him making the chameleon groan and lays flat on her shoulder.

"Ugh, I don't like this one bit, I'll corporate with you guys just so we could get the hell out of this place!" Grim bluntly spat.

"Then let's hit the hay for now. Tomorrow we're all heading out to march in the desert with Scarabia residents and all of us have to remain naive and innocent so Jamil won't get suspicious." Vivien informs.

"Right!" They all complied and everyone went for their perspective beds to hit the hay for tomorrow.

~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile at Avalon, Merlin was watching and tuning in on Vivien's strategy to Rapunzel, Cassandra, Grim, and Eugene in the guest room from the crystal ball as he lets out a soft hum.

"Mmmm...I'm not surprised when I saw the outcome. That birdbrain needs to set his priorities in check. At least Vivien keeping it cool and carefully plans out her strategy for tomorrow. And my dear sweet sundrop has caught herself in a compromising position....Hehe. Ahem! No time for dilly dally." Merlin said as he glance up to see a cemetery sign where a gust of wind blew across his hood.

"I have friend to visit...." He mutters as Merlin glance down at the crystal ball once last time to see them already sleeping before he crept a warm smile.

"Safe travels my friends. I wish you the best of luck on your mission." Merlin encourages them as he puts the crystal ball away in his hood and faces the cemetery.

"Alright...Time to see an old late friend of mine..." He mutters as he floats his way to the entrance entering the cemetery to see his longtime deceased friend.
