Repunzel
Prologue
I
spent my whole life in that house. No, not a house, more like a
prison, though I didn’t know it at the time. I remember
waking up, day after day, for fourteen long years to the sounds
of the vast forest around me. Usually by the time I had woken,
my father was eating breakfast, or sharpening his knife. I had
loved my father. He was my idol, my god, my everything. Back
then, he was the greatest man I knew. The only man I knew.
Every day he would leave that house, disappearing into the
forest which fascinated me and terrified me at the same time. I
had no idea what he did in there, I still don’t, but when
he returned he always brought food, wood for the fire,
everything we needed to live in that house. In the meantime, I
was left alone in the house, forbidden to leave it. I never
dared to disobey him. I had been punished before, beaten for
things that I did wrong. So I stayed inside that house, and
like any child would have been, I was bored out of my mind.
Sometimes my father brought home things to keep me entertained,
mainly books. I had taught myself to read, one of the many
things I did to keep myself busy. I also taught myself math,
and I read about science, and by the time I was eight I was
intelligent enough to go to high school, and being that clever,
I had started to question things, even my father. One day when
he came home, I asked him when I would be allowed to leave the
house, to make friends and travel the world. Immediately a
scowl came across his face. I expected to be punished, like the
time I had asked about my mother, but much to my surprise, he
leaned in, his face inches from mine and growled, “You
can leave when someone comes for you.”
So I waited. I waited for a mother, desperately looking for a
child. Someone. Anyone. In the long days when I had nothing to
do, my mind began to wander to the day that someone would turn
up at the door ready to take me with them, and for a while it
felt like I was Rapunzel, waiting for her prince charming.
But no one
came.
