Rapunzel part #2
About
1 And A Half Years Later
Salina
sat at her rusted vanity mirror.
Tears seeped out of her eyes as she stares
at a picture of Rapunzel, she was in the mists of running away from the royal
hairdresser. Her 5-foot long hair was flying behind her, while the queen knocked
over a huge box of hair curlers. Rapunzel never got her hair cut once. It was 12 feet long the day she got stolen.“Princess Salina,” the maid stuck her head in. “Yes?” Salina quickly sat up and wiped her eyes. “Dinners ready.” “Thank you.” Salina whispered, the maid bowed out. Salina slipped her evening gown on over her raggedy nightgown and rushed downstairs. She rushed into the dining room and was surprised to find both of her parents sitting at the long glass table chewing quietly on their chicken. She stared at her father who barely ever came to meals lately. She sat down and started cutting her chicken.
Both of her parents were being extremely stubborn. When the king learned of Rapuzel's kidnapping he spent three months trying to find her but finally gave up. Then he started spending all day in his study. The queen refused to do anything about it. She even refused to talk about it at all so Salina had no one to confide in. She was forced to keep all her emotions bottled up. Until her uncle and aunt moved in to help send out search parties because no one else had done it.
But she wasn’t going to take it today. Today was Rapunzel’s birthday and she had to speak up. “Mother, Father… Hello?” both of her parents stared at their plates in silence.
“HEY!” Salina screamed slamming down her fork. They both jumped and stared at her in shock. Salina looked back down at her plate. “Today is her birthday you… you know” Her voice breaking. Her mother slammed her utensils down loudly as well. “Salina! Please your mother can’t talk about it yet its... Its too soon.” Her father hissed through his teeth angrily. “TOO SOON!?” Salina screamed in their faces. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF! HOW LONG DO YOU NEED?! Just talk to me please… please?”
“We are just showing emotion Salina we did all we could to find her!!!!" “No your showing NO emotion. And you didn’t you sent out one search party for three months. I could do better then that… And I will!” She said standing up and she rushed out.
