Romance Fan Fiction / Other Fan Fiction ❯ Cassunzel Short Stories ❯ Captured ( Chapter 3 )

Rapunzel’s eyes slowly opened as her senses became awake. She tried to stand up but was pulled back down by chains wrapped securely around her wrists. It was now that she started to panic as she tried to remember how the hell she got there. She took a good look at her surroundings and realized she was in a cage, made out of black rocks, in the ballroom. Some stuff slowly started coming back to her. She remembered the day she spent with Faith.. no, not Faith. Cassandra DISGUISED as Faith. She remembered Cassandra trying to speak to her but before she got the chance, she was shot by Project Obsidian. And finally, she remembered Cassandra, eyes filled with fury and betrayal, giving her some kind of potion that made everything go black.

After that though, Rapunzel had no idea what happened. She had no idea how she ended up chained up to a wall in the castle.. Well, she had SOME idea but she hoped it wasn’t true. She didn’t know where her parents were.. or Eugene.. or Pascal.. or her other friends. She didn’t know if they were alright. Surely, Cassandra would never KILL anyone, right? No, of course not. Mad with power or not, Cassandra wasn’t that type of person.

With that knowledge, Rapunzel finally looked up and let out a horrified gasp. The once clean and tidy castle was destroyed to pieces by Cassandra’s black rocks. She could only wonder what the REST of Corona looked like. Why would Cass do this? Now, Rapunzel was unsure if Cassandra WOULD hurt someone and that thought terrified her. If she was capable of doing something like this, then maybe, she really was too gone to be saved.

Rapunzel quickly shook her head and mentally yelled at herself. No, she knew her best friend was still there somewhere. She still refused to give up on her.

“You’re awake,” The voice in her thoughts rang out in the quiet room. Rapunzel looked up as Cassandra descended down the steps. Her light blue eyes glowed in the dark room, making her look.. inhumane. Dangerous. Absolutely terrifying. “Like what I did with the place? I always thought it looked so.. bland. So I upgraded it.”

It took a second for Rapunzel to find her voice. “Cass.. what have you done?”

“What you couldn’t,” She sneered. The rock cage that surrounded her disappeared where they came from with a snap of her fingers as she walked towards Rapunzel. Rapunzel tried to pull on the chains that kept her closely bound to the wall. “Good luck with escaping. Turns out you can make anything with these rocks. If we had these a long time ago, so many people wouldn’t have escaped prison so easily.”

“Let me go, Cass.”

Cassandra narrowed her eyes and pointed her sword at Rapunzel’s neck, the tip of it barely two inches away. “I don’t think you’re in any position to make any demands, princess.”

“Why are you doing this? Cass, this isn’t you..”

Cassandra’s eyes filled with rage as she roughly grabbed the princess’s face to look at her, their faces merely inches apart. Her eyes were narrowed and her voice was cold as ice, so much it made Rapunzel shiver. “You don’t get to decide if this is ‘me’ or not. The person you once knew before is gone, get over it. So you can just give up on trying to ‘redeem’ or ‘save me’ because I don’t need to be redeemed and I most certainly don’t need saving.” She let go of Rapunzel’s face roughly. “I don’t need anyone.”

“You KNOW that isn’t true, Cass.” Cassandra let out a scoff. “Zhan Tiri is manipulating you, Cass! All she wants is power. The moment you turn you back, she will grab the moonstone and then we ALL will be done for!”

Cassandra’s aura became fierce and terrifying as her body crackled and beamed with electricity. “You don’t know what you’re talking about! Perhaps you’re right, but Zhan Tiri was the only one who told me the truth! No, SHOWED me the truth! A truth where I had a mother; a mother who chose YOU over me!”

“It’s not like I WANTED to be kidnapped by some crazy witch!” Rapunzel yelled back, tugging lightly on her chains. Cassandra glared at her; a type of glare that would turn anyone else to jelly. And not the good type either. But no, not Rapunzel. She was too stubborn for that. “Oh, right, I totally screamed ‘kidnap me and keep me locked away in a tower for 18 years while you use my hair to your advantage and THEN nearly murder my boyfriend.’ She was a terrible woman Cassandra! She didn’t love you, nor me, she used us both. She used you to keep her hidden from the world so she can plan out to kidnap me. And she used me to stay young and healthy. Whether or not she didn’t choose to kidnap me, or say she made it to the cottage before the guards showed up, she STILL would have gotten rid of you somehow! She wasn’t a caretaker, she was a taker! It hurts, I know, but that doesn’t mean you take over an entire kingdom and imprison someone you used to call your ’best friend!‴

“You brought this upon yourself!” Cassandra screamed back. “You turned your back on me! You stopped listening to me, you ignored me, you treated me like a servant instead of, like as you put it, someone you called your ‘best friend’! I have waited my entire life to prove to the world that I was worth something but then something always ruined everything I fought for! I was always forced into the shadows, I was always second best to someone and then when I FINALLY got my chance, you came along and ruined it! Every. Single. Time!”

All anger dissipated from her eyes as she looked at her friend with guilt. “I-I didn’t know you felt like that Cass.. I never meant to make you feel that way.”

Cassandra scoffed, unfazed by her apology. “Of course you didn’t. You never do! You think the world is all fun and games but it’s not! To be something in this world you need to fight for it! But YOU never knew that feeling, did you? You’re a princess. You have NOTHING to prove. Everyone just loves you!”

“I wasn’t ALWAYS a princess, Cass! And do you really think being a ‘princess’ is all fun games? Do you really think it’s easy? That I don’t have to fight to be, as you say, someone? I am a literal public figure Cass. THEY depend on me! I am not ALLOWED to fall, or break, or even let myself relax! Because I not only have ONE life to look after, but HUNDREDS! I am in charge of the fate of Corona. Of the people that are in it. I can’t leave. Do you think I wanted to be thrust into a position I barely knew how to handle? I spent 18 years of my life in a tower only to be thrown back into another! I want to be out there, exploring the world, but I don’t have the choice to have that dream. I don’t have the choice to even HAVE dreams. Ironic, isn’t it? The princess is all about following your dreams and isn't even allowed to follow her own. They count on me. I have to be strong for them. I have to reassure them that everything's gonna be fine when I’m not even sure if I believe that myself. I have to just suck it up and pretend I enjoy the destiny that many people chose for me! So before you accuse me of ‘having nothing to prove’, get your facts straight. Because that’s the story of my life. I’m not stupid, Cassandra, maybe sometimes naïve, but not stupid. I know the REAL world is dangerous and a constant battle for survival. I know most royals are all about rising to the top and pushing people beneath them, but that’s not who I am. I could care less about power or ‘being better than everyone else’, ALL I care about is saving you before you do something that you’re not gonna be able to take back.”

Cassandra was so surprised, she was actually stunned into silence. As she looked into her ex-best friend's eyes, she knew the girl was telling the truth. Before Cassandra could respond, she was interrupted by loud rumbling as the ground started shaking.

“What the hell is happening?!” She said as she sprouted a black rock to balance her.

“I think your rocks burst an outer layer!”

“A what?!”

“Your rocks caused an earthquake!” The shaking continued as it grew worse and worse. Some of the castle started collapsing and Cassandra jumped out of the way to avoid being crushed. A piece of the building fell away, causing Cass's black rocks to fall. Rapunzel pulled on the chains as far as she could go as the rock sliced through them, freeing Rapunzel. Rapunzel stumbled as she tried to keep her balance and looked towards the open doorway. Cassandra was too busy avoiding being crushed to notice her. Rapunzel turned to make her way towards the exit but something in the darkness caught her eye. It was then that she saw a familiar demon with a sadistic smile holding something very, very sharp and as it looked, laced with poison. And she was pointing it towards Cassandra. Zhan Tiri didn’t know Rapunzel was there. In a split second, Zhan Tiri threw the sharp blade. As it sailed through the air, everything went in slow motion for Rapunzel. She could run and escape and destroy the city’s enemy.. Or she could risk everything and leave Corona powerless with a crazy warlord and a power-hungry woman. She had only a split second to decide. There was only ONE right decision that could be made...

“...Cass, watch out!” She quickly shoved the girl out of the way as the girl landed a couple feet away with a “oof!“. The blade soared through the air and made contact with Rapunzel’s chest, it pierced inches away from her heart. As the blade cut through her body and landed on the other side, Rapunzel’s body felt heavy as she fell to the floor, darkness already starting to take over. Just like that, the earth stopped shaking and it was eerily silent.

Cassandra stared in horror at what just happened, still sitting on the ground where she was shoved. “R-Rapunzel?” No response. “...Raps?” Again, no response. She took a step towards the unresponsive girl. Then another. When she reached Rapunzel, the girl's eyes were barely open. Cassandra’s whole body shook as she fell to her knees. The puddle of blood that coated the floor stained her knees. With shaky arms, she picked Rapunzel up in her arms as Rapunzel’s head groggily fell against her chest. Her eyes were unfocused and distant as she stared up at Cassandra. “R-Raps, stay with me..” She gently shook the girl, causing Rapunzel’s closing eyes to open up once more.

She heard gentle chuckling as Zhan Tiri appeared from the darkness. Cassandra instinctively held Rapunzel closer to her chest. Cassandra’s eyes grew angry as she saw the demon. “Why did you do that?!”

“I only helped you, Cassandra. I knew that by threatening you, the girl's pure heart wouldn’t have been able to resist jumping in front to save you.”

“How is THIS helping me?!” She gestured to the barely conscious Rapunzel.

“I only did what you couldn’t, Cassandra,” The demon snarled. “You should be thanking me. Now, you can take the sunstone without any trouble and you finally got your revenge.”

“This is not what I wanted!”

“Oh, but is it not?” The demon laughed quietly and took a step towards Cassandra. “Did you not plan to destroy Rapunzel for months? Did you not take over her kingdom? Did you not try to kill her friends, family and boyfriend?”

“I-” Cassandra started but was stunned into silence, realizing the demon was right. “I-I never wanted to kill her, just-”

“Just what? Have you not already tried? Isn’t that what you were planning to do so you could take her sunstone?”

“No!” Cassandra shouted back.

“And that is why you would’ve failed. That is why Rapunzel would have won. Because you’re too weak to do what needs to be done. So, I did it for you. Now you can have everything you’ve wanted and more,” The demon smirked. “You can finally stop being in Rapunzel’s shadow and show the world that you’re worth something. Once you retrieve the sunstone, you’ll be unstoppable! And no one will ever wrong you ever again.” Cassandra was once more stunned into silence. What had she turned into? How far would she have gone to retrieve what she wanted? Would she have killed Rapunzel in the end? Was she so blinded by rage and pain that she took it out all on her best friend? To the point of risking her life and everyone Cassandra used to call friends? It was then she knew that Zhan Tiri was right. Rapunzel was right. They were all right.

“N-No, that’s not true.. I wouldn’t have.. I’m not..” Cassandra stumbled on her words as tears filled her eyes.

“Face it, Cassandra. We’re not so different, you and I.” The demon continued walking forward. “Once we retrieve the sunstone, together we can rule the world and we’ll be unstoppable! You will never feel worthless ever again. You will never be anyone's shadow. People will worship you, respect you, and bow down to you. You’d be a god.”

“I’m nothing like you!”

“Oh, but you are. Admit it if I hadn’t taken the intuitive to end the girl, you would have. Eventually. You would’ve never stopped to get what you wanted. And when that wasn’t enough, you’d want more. Anyone who stood in your way, you’d kill them until everyone feared and respected you. Anyone who can easily turn their back on their friend is the worst kind of evil.” Zhan Tiri smirked. “And you did that and more. You can’t deny it.”

At this point, there were tears running down Cassandra’s face as she came to realize that Zhan Tiri was right. She would’ve killed Rapunzel. She would’ve hurt people who stood in her way. And she wouldn’t have stopped until she got what she wanted. And when that wasn’t enough? She’d keep going until the planet either feared her or was dead. When would it have ever been enough?

“No..” A weak voice rang out but she quickly realized it wasn’t her own. Rapunzel shakily moved away from Cassandra to sit on her knees in front of her as she stared at the demon with a rage Cassandra had never seen in her before. “You’re wrong.”

“Oh?” The demon raised one eyebrow, daring her to prove her wrong.

Rapunzel’s voice was ragged as she continued. “Cassandra would NEVER snoop to your level. Originally, all she wanted was to find a place in this world. But you manipulated her, didn’t you? You manipulated her memories. And you used her pain to your advantage. You pretended to be her friend, you pretended to care. But all you wanted was to tear us apart. You made her believe that she was alone. You made her believe that I was going to take everything from her. You believed that we would fight until we died trying to win. So you could take the sunstone and moonstone and use them to gain power and destroy Corona. So, yeah, you’re wrong. Cass started this whole thing because she felt as if she was a nobody. A feeling I created. But a feeling you ensued. You have no idea how wrong you are. Unlike you, Cass is strong. She doesn’t need any sort of power to prove that. She’s protective and will stop at nothing to make sure the people she loves are safe. I look up to her; she’s the person I have strived to be. Cassandra is my hero. And no one, including herself, is ever gonna change that. Because I know who she is on the inside and I know whatever path she chooses, she will never and I mean NEVER be as dirty and evil as you are. Not even close.”

For a 5th time that day, Cassandra was completely stunned into silence. Whatever Rapunzel had to say, she did NOT expect it to be that. Was she really her hero as she said? Was everything she said true? Cassandra was pulled out of thoughts by the sound of manic laughter.

“You’re not as stupid as they say, are you?” The demon smirked as the demon looking child slowly started to take on a new form. She grew huge, horns grew from her skull, as she towered over Cassandra and Rapunzel. “Unfortunately, I’m gonna need to speed this up. Got a schedule to keep.” She smirked as the moon placed itself in front of the sun. Rapunzel grew weaker than she already was as her chest glowed. She couldn’t keep herself up anymore as she fell back down onto the floor. “I’m gonna need to kill you a lot faster.” She raised her gigantic fist and quickly brought it down on Rapunzel.

But the fist never reached her as a rock sprouted up from the floor, pushing the demon back. “Over. My. Dead. Body.” Cassandra stood in front of Rapunzel, her body cackling with anger as the moonstone glowed brightly, making her eyes and hair glow like never before. Her voice was cold, threatening and daring.

“That can be arranged,” The demon snarled before charging at Cassandra as fast as lightning. Cassandra’s body tensed but she stood her ground as a bunch of rocks sprouted up from the earth. The demon growled as she dodged out of the way. The demon looked her dead in the eye. Cassandra’s eyes narrowed as if she was daring Zhan Tiri to try. This made Zhan Tiri even madder. Out of pure rage, the demon launched herself into the air towards Cassandra. This was the worst move she could’ve possibly done. Seeing the opportunity, she blocked Rapunzel’s view for what was about to happen, and sprouted up one last black rock. Realizing too late, Zhan Tiri’s eyes widened as the rock went through her stomach. All that could be heard was gurgling before everything went quiet. Blood from Zhan Tiri’s body dropped to the floor and it was then that Cassandra knew the tyrant was dead. Not wanting to traumatize Rapunzel any more than possible, she receded the rock that pierced Zhan Tiri, making the demon fall to the floor, then sprouted a bunch of other rocks, making a dome-like fortress, and brought them down on the demon; crushing her in the process and successively hiding the horrendous mess of what was once Zhan Tiri.

Cassandra walked towards the fortress and snarled at it. “Hope you like hell, bitch.” She spat.

“Cass..” A weak voice rang from behind her and at that moment, she remembered the injured princess on the floor. Eyes widening, she turned around and bolted towards her. When reaching her, she slid on her knees and picked the girl back up into her arms. She tore a piece of cloth and pressed it tightly onto Rapunzel’s bleeding wound.

“I-I’m here Raps.. Just hang on, you’ll be okay. We’ll get you he-”

“No, Cass.” Rapunzel shook her head weakly, tears filling her eyes as she looked up at her best friend.

“What do you MEAN ‘no’? You’re gonna-”

“Take the sunstone.”

Cassandra was taken back as she blinked down at her. “W-what?”

“Take it. Please. I-if it ends up in the wrong hands.. it could be a disaster. Take the sunstone and protect it along with the moonstone.”

“Rapunzel-”

“Promise me, Cassandra!” Rapunzel’s eyes were frantic. “Please.”

Cassandra hardened her eyes and shook her head. “No. I won’t need too. Because you’re gonna be here to protect it. Together, we can destroy them both. Then no one will ever be hurt again. You just gotta..”

“I’m gonna die, Cass.” Rapunzel admitted bluntly; saying what they both knew was true but didn’t want to admit it.

“Don’t say that! You’re gonna be fine!" Cassandra's eyes filled with tears then whispered, "This is not what I wanted.. I didn't.." She shook her head with tears streaming down her face before continuing: "I NEVER wanted this to happen, Raps, I just wanted to..." She shook her head again, not knowing how to finish that sentence. What DID she want to do? She didn't know if she was trying to convince Rapunzel. Or herself. Either way, she NEEDED Rapunzel to know. She needed her to hear it from her.

Rapunzel's eyes softened as she shakily placed a hand on top of Cassandra's. "...I know." She whispered back then she dropped her hand back down, not having the energy to lift it anymore. “C-Cass, we don't have time.. Listen-”

“No, no for once YOU are gonna listen,” Cassandra hardened her eyes. “You don’t GET to stop fighting, you hear me? There’s so much we have to do, so much we gotta make up for. You didn’t give up on me so I am not gonna give up on you. You’re going to make it. I’m gonna make sure you do. I am not gonna sit back and watch you give up while I KNOW that there’s still so much to fight for. We’re both gonna walk out of here, alive, and fix what was broken. You-”

Cassandra was interrupted by Rapunzel jolting up and grabbing her shirt until their lips met. Cassandra’s eyes widened in disbelief as the softness from Rapunzel’s lips covered hers. It didn’t take long before Cassandra’s eyes drifted shut and she returned the kiss whole-heartedly. During the kiss, having distracted Cassandra, Rapunzel basically ripped the sunstone from her body and placed it in the woman’s hand then gently shut it. Rapunzel could feel herself slipping as she pulled away from the kiss, their lips still inches apart, and whispered: “I love you..”

Rapunzel’s hand dropped and her head went limp as her eyes closed for the last time. Her final breath had been given to Cassandra when she uttered those three little words. Cassandra reopened her eyes as she looked down at her limp best friend. “Raps?” She gently shook her. When she didn’t respond, or so much as stir, she shook her harder. “Rapunzel??” Again, no response. No movement. No smile. No nothing. “Rapunzel?!” Cassandra’s voice quivered as she desperately shook the lifeless body. “Rapunzel, come on, wake up! This isn’t funny!” Nothing.

Cassandra started sobbing. “P-Please,” The syllables were broken and barely audible. “Don’t leave me..” As she remembered her time with Rapunzel throughout their friendship, all the memories, all the hugs; She remembered Rapunzel’s smiling face. The type of smile that she only ever got to see from her. Cassandra’s eyes filled up with even more tears as she let out an ear-piercing, agonizing scream.

“Sunshine!” Cassandra heard from a distance. She didn’t look up. Didn’t move. Her hair covered her face as she silently held the lifeless princess close to her chest. A couple seconds later, Eugene, Varian, Lance and various other of Rapunzel’s friends came bursting through.

“Get away from her!” She heard Varian scream. She didn’t even so much as look you.

“Wait.” She heard Eugene say as she saw through her hair that he put a hand in front of Varian and the others to stop them. They stayed put as Eugene slowly walked forward. Cassandra gripped the princess tighter. “Cassandra?” Finally, Cassandra looked up. And that was all that Eugene needed. “N-No..” Realization dawned on his face as he stared in horror at his lifeless girlfriend.

“Eugene? What’s wrong?” Lance asked, stepping forward to stand beside his best buddy. That was when Lance saw Rapunzel. A hand flew up to his mouth, his eyes widened in horror, as he muttered, “Oh my god..” Everyone eventually caught on. The room was quiet. Everyone was too stunned, horrified, to say anything. Eugene was on his knees, stunned and horrified, as he stared at his dead girlfriend laying in Cassandra’s arms. He didn’t move. Didn’t speak. No one did. But, finally, it was Varian who stepped forward and spoke first.

“H-How? How did..” Varian asked, unable to say it, hoping to god that Cassandra wasn’t the one who did this.

“Z-Zhan Tiri,” Cassandra eventually responded, her voice broken. “She... She caught me off guard.. Rapunzel pushed me out of the way and..” Cassandra shook her head then directed her attention towards Eugene. “I-I tried to save her.. I promise, she- She wouldn’t let me.. I..”

Eugene finally looked up, slowly, the horrified look never leaving his face. But for a split second, his eyes softened as he looked at the distraught girl. “I know..” He said silently. “..I know you did.”

Cassandra was surprised. She expected to be yelled at, cursed at, sentenced to death.. but all she got was understanding. She didn’t deserve it. She didn’t deserve him. Or her. She hid her face in Rapunzel’s long newly brown hair and took a shaky breath. She would keep the promise she made to her. She would protect the sunstone, the moonstone, if her life depended on it. She would-

Cassandra gasped and quickly looked up. “The sunstone!” She announced, startling everyone in the room. With newfound energy, she ignored the questioning stares before slowly opening her hand, revealing the sunstone. “It heals people right? I can use it to save her!”

“Cass,” Eugene spoke softly. “It can’t bring people back to life. Besides, it lost all it’s healing abilities, remember?”

“It brought YOU back to life, didn’t it?” Eugene opened then shut his mouth and nodded. “And I might be able to since I have the moonstone!”

“It’s dangerous.. We still don’t know what happens when they collide. Cass, you could die and there’s still no guarantee it’s gonna work.”

Cassandra looked down at the princess as she raised her hand and gently rubbed her cheek. “It’s worth a shot.” She whispered but everyone heard her nonetheless. She gently placed the princess on the ground before kneeling in front of her. “Back up.”

“Cassandra, I can’t let you-”

“I said back up!” She glared at Eugene. Eugene looked deep into her eyes, realizing nothing was gonna stop her. With a sigh, he backed up with everyone else. Cassandra turned back to Rapunzel. She placed her hand on the moonstone and tore it from her chest, grunting at the searing pain it brought. She ignored it as her blue hair faded to black and her teal eyes faded to their normal hazel green. She placed both stones in either hand, squeezed them tightly, and started to sing:

“Flower gleam and glow,

Let your power shine..”

Both stones started to glow, making Cassandra start to glow lightly.

Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine..”

The power of the sunstone and moonstone started to collide as its power started covering Rapunzel.

Heal what has been hurt

Change the fates’ design”

Cassandra started to grow weak as the power literally stole the strength from her body.

Save what has been lost”

Cassandra’s voice quivered as she fought to stay awake. Rapunzel’s wounds started to mend itself back together and the light started to return back to her beautiful face.

Bring back what once was mine”

Cassandra grunted as both stones became one and illuminated a blinding light. With the final ounce of her energy she sang the last verse:

...What once was mine.”

And with that, she screamed and blasted the united stones to god knows where. With her energy spent, she lost consciousness and fell onto her side. Everyone held their breath as they waited. Not a second later, they heard a soft groan as Rapunzel's eyes slowly opened.

"Sunshine!" Eugene shouted in glee as he rushed over to her and pulled her into his arms and sobbed. Varian was next. Then Catalina and Keira. And finally, Lance wrapped his arms around them all. Rapunzel let out a weak laugh.

"Hey guys." She responded, smiling. Everyone pulled back and smiled at her. Eugene's eyes turned sad as he looked at his girlfriend.

"Sunshine.. Cass.. she.." It was then that Rapunzel noticed Cassandra and let out a gasp.

"Cass!" She rushed over to her and picked her up much like Cass did to her only a couple minutes prior. She placed a hand on her cheek, her eyes filling with tears. "Cass, please.. Don't leave like this. I still haven't properly apologized.. I-I still.. There's still so much we need to go together.. please.. Come back.. I love you." She admitted softly, holding Cassandra close to her face and nuzzled her as tears fell onto her face. Rapunzel squeezed her eyes shut, her whole form shaking. "Please.."

The room was once more silent until a tired groan could be heard. Cassandra's hand flew up to her head as her eyes slowly opened. Rapunzel let out a relieved gasp. Cassandra looked up at her and smiled. "So, THAT'S what it feels like to use so much power. I'm exhausted."

Rapunzel let out a watery laugh as she wrapped her arms around the girl. "Cassandra!"

Cassandra let out a laugh as she wrapped her arms around the princess as well and dug her face into her chest. The rest of the crew smiled at each other as the two of them laughed and sobbed silently in each other's arms.

"I'm sorry.." Cassandra mumbled, still pressed firmly in Rapunzel's chest.

"I know," Rapunzel responded back in a whisper. "...I am too." Cassandra smiled and let out a contented sigh. She realized that being at Rapunzel's side was her destiny; was where she was meant to be.

And for the first time in a long time, she felt happy. Truly happy.

Because in the end,

Everything turned out okay.

Phew! Finally done. That was an emotional rollercoaster. Hope you enjoy it and tell me what you think! Have a splendid day!
