Rapunzel had to leave the house. She couldn't stomach the idea of staying there another moment. The assault with Jack had happened a few days ago, but the bruises and shame remained. She no longer wore her bright and colorful clothes. She wore a tight black jacket that she hung over her head like a mask.

Mavis was worried. She hadn't seen Rapunzel for days and she hadn't answered any of Mavy's calls. She had called Pitch who promised to get to the bottom of it to ease his daughters mind. Besides, he cared deeply for Rapunzel. He almost didnt recognize her when he did see her. Silently, he placed a hand on her shoulder to get her attention.

Rapunzel turned quickly around, obviously alarmed, flinching as if she believed he would hit her. Her arms shielded her face before she peeked through to see Pitch. For a moment Rapunzel stared at him before muttering. "Hi Pitch." her voice was quiet, almost like a whisper.

He looked almost offended. "That's all you have to say? I thought we were cool." He frowned, observing that she had obviously lost her spark. This troubled him. His hands came up to cup her face. "Something's wrong. I'll give you one chance to tell me what it is before I start digging around in your mind."

Rapunzel pulled out of his grasp, shoving her hands into her pockets to hide the bruises and scratches on her upper arms and wrists. The places where Jackson had held them down. She also turned her head away. Rapunzel had managed to cover most of the bruises, however it still spirited sickly colors of crimson and purple. "I'm sorry Pitch you just scared me. I'm alright. Just bud out."

"Absolutely not. Look at me Punzie," he whispered desperately, "You act like I'm going to hurt you or something!"

Rapunzel scowled, bunching her hands into fists in his pockets. "I'm...Fine! It's been a long week. Please just leave me alone. I'll talk to you later." she hid her face as she turned around to leave. Rapunzel didn't want Pitch to see the bruises on her face; he'd be able to sense her fear. Fear that Jackson would come back if he found out she told. Fear that he would kill Hiccup and everyone else.

He grabbed her shoulder and images filled his head instantly. Images of the things Jackson had done to her, the things he had said. Pitch felt sick almost immediately. He held in a gag as he saw the scene and for once in his life he hated his powers. "Punzie," he managed to get out, "Why would you hide that? You shouldn't hide something like that. This is why you've been hiding? You should have come to me."

Rapunzel pulled away, her eyes clamped shut for fear she would let a few tears escape. "Why would you do that?!? I told you to bud out!" a small whimper escaped her. Rapunzel had, for a brief moment, to relive the horrors of what she had experienced that night. "It's my business. You...you don't know what he'd do to everyone. I-I told. Now he's going to kill Hiccup!" she grabbed at her hair in rage and desperation. "Why!?!"

"Stop," he hissed, clenching his fists at his sides. "You know I can't help it. Your fears automatically enter my head.technically, you didn't tell me. I just know." At the mention of killing Hiccup Pitch tensed up. "And I won't let him hurt your brother. Or you. I'm not afraid of him. You need to calm down."

Rapunzel shook her head, violent sobs escaping her. "I-It was m-MY fault! I'm worthless. He was right." Rapunzel slid to her knees, face in her hands. "He was right. About everything. He's going to kill everyone and there's nothing I can do to stop him. Worthless..."

Pitch knelt next to her, taking her into his arms, silently hoping she wouldn't push away. "You aren't worthless," he whispered to her, petting her hair in attempt to sooth her. "Nobody's going to get hurt Ralunzel. I won't tell anyone. He'll never know okay?"

Rapunzel nodded, burying her face into his chest. She trembled, knees shaking and hands clutching his cloak for assurance. "T-Thank you Pitch. You...promise?" part of her didn't believe him. However he had never given her reason not to.

"I sware,"he whispered sternly, no hint of doubt in his tone. He held her up so she wouldn't fall. "You're going to be fine now."

That part Rapunzel didn't believe. She would never be fine again. Jackson had killed her. "Thank you Pitch." She lifted herself on her toes to connect their lips. Rapunzel wanted the last person she kissed to be someone she cared about. Not Jackson.
