*Jack*

"Hand me the consequences," Black told his guards. One of them handed him a long rope. It was his personal torture device, Fear. He calls his whip Fear because, it left anyone struck by it, a scar.

Once he had a good grip in his hand, he began to whip me. It stung alright but, that pain was nothing compared to what I've been through this past year.

I thought of the princess and how she said she was locked up. I began to chuckle and Black whipped me harder.

"He's not worth my time. Next time that he has the princess, it'll be his head." Black yelled at his men.

I tried to stand up but, the pain on my back wouldn't let me.

"Jack!" a voice screamed.

I looked up to see the princess. Her big green eyes were full of tears. She grabbed my arm and flung it over her shoulder. She helped me into the stable and left to get something. The princess really is how some people say she is. The townspeople say that the princess was nothing like Black and she would tend to anyone that was whipped by Fear. They also say that she's kind and beautiful, which describes her pretty well.

Wait.....what the hell am I thinking?! She's the princess! I can't fall for her!

"I'm back, Jack!" she shouted.

She came in with an apron, a rag, a towel, and some bandages. She put the things in front of me and left again to go get something.

God, she looked good in an apron.

What the hell, Jack?! Stop thinking about that!!!!

The princess came back with a large bucket of water.

"Thanks, Highness," I said.

"Please, you can call me Rapunzel. I'm going to help you if you let me," she said sweetly.

I nodded and she took off my shirt. She dipped the rag in the water and she started to clean up the blood. It stung just a little bit but, that was all.

"Now, this next part can sometimes freak people out so, please don't," she said.

Weird? Nothing can be as weird as what happened when I started to drink water. It just froze completely!

She untied her long, blonde hair and started to wrap it around me. She took a deep breath and began to sing.

Flower gleam and glow

Let your power shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine

As she sang, her blonde hair kept glowing.

Heal that has been hurt

Change the fate's design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine

She stopped singing and unwrapped her hair. The sting on my back was gone; it felt completely normal again.

I stared in awe at her. She's just as different and strange as I was.

I wonder......if she remembers my past.......
