Mr. Winter Meets Ms. Blondie
Episode Eight - Start of the 'Game'
After getting up
in a branch about ten feet from the ground, Rapunzel and Jack sat down
comfortingly. Still in her sleeping dress, Rapunzel can’t help feel
cold—especially the spirit of winter being next to her.
Her eyes fell on
the staff Jack Frost was holding. She had just noticed he’d been carrying it around
everywhere and every time. From a memory, she had seen the ‘stick’ do wonders.
“Are you sure
you’re alright here?” Jack asked her. He noticed she was oddly silent.
Rapunzel nodded
painfully. “As long as I’m away from her, I’ll be alright.”
As if agreeing to
her, Pascal the chameleon went up to her shoulders. What made Jack laugh was
the chameleon’s seemingly inebriation.
“He’s drunk,” Jack
said, pointing at Pascal. Its eyes were rolling around the sides.
“Nah.” Rapunzel
came to get him from her shoulder. “He’s my best companion.”
A moment of
silence passes and a strange throb in Jack’s chest told him something was up.
Like Santa Claus’ stomach grumbles, he trusts his instincts by now.
Holding his staff
in both hands, Jack looked around a corner where it was dark. An aura was coming
from that shadowy place.
“What’s
happening?” Rapunzel whispered. She suddenly felt awkward as she could not see
or feel anything—just the sense of impending danger.
Instead of seeing
Pitch—better known as the Boogeyman—walking from the darkness, a figure of a
slim woman was coming. As Jack’s jaw dropped, the woman was visible within the
moonlight. It’s not just her black dress and her hood that made her look
creepy.
Rapunzel was sure
it wasn’t Mother Gothel. When the woman removed her hood, Rapunzel was right.
The woman was way younger than Mother Gothel was.
With
a long, flowing dark hair and a sinister smile, the woman silently alarmed Jack
Frost. This was the first time he had seen her.
