"Varian!" I scream running forward.

Varian transforms. He grows and his clothes changed. He stands up.

"He's taking a back seat darling." Edward Hyde stands up. 

"Hyde." I say.

"Princess Rapunzel." He licks his lips.

"Son!" Quirin runs forward.

"Wait!" Eugene yells.

Hyde grabs him.

"I wonder what he will say if I kill you." Edward Hyde takes his knife.

"Stop!" I yell.

"Son... please..." Quirin chokes.

I throw my hair forward. It grabs his arm. He looks at me.

"Varian! I don't want to hurt you!" I yell. 

"Well... so polite." He throws his hand. 

I go flying. I slam into a wall.

"Blondie!" Eugene yells.

"I'm fine!" I wave my hands. 

 He throws Quirin and he smashes through the wall. Ouch. Pascal charges. Hyde grabs him.

"Pascal!" I scream.

I run forward. Eugene grabs me. 

"Varian! Leave him alone!" I scream.

"Stop!" Cass yells.

"Shut the fuck up!" Hyde yells.

I draw back.

"Oh... pardon for my language." Hyde lowers his head.

"It's okay." I say.

What?! Why am I politely telling Hyde I forgive him for swearing?! He has pascal. I let my hair down fully. I walk forward. Varian... I know you're in there. You need to fight this. He can't trap you forever.

Rapunzel...

Varian! Are you hurt?!

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Varian! You can fight this!

I can't. He's too strong.

"I have a proposition for you, your highness." Hyde says.

I turn.

"What do you want?" I ask.

"You come with me. I have a job for you and I'll let the lizard live." Hyde says.

"Raps, no." Cass says.

"I got this Cass." I walk forward.

Hyde grabs my arm.

"Excellent choice your highness." He licks his lips.
