So hey everyone, this is my second fanfic for the big four. I'm aiming to make it completely different from the other one (if your reading it) so I hope you enjoy it :) The only reason its set in London is because I'm British and therefore its the only city I really know so yeah :') I'd love to have your feedback of this, anything will be appreciated :) Oh and most of it will be in Rapunzel's POV but there will be some from the others to :)

Chapter 1

I didn't want to run away. Not really, but but being locked up in that house for 18 years was doing me no good, regardless of what mother said. I'd taken several trains to get to the outskirts of London so I wasn't turning back now. At the time, I thought it was a good idea, getting out to see the world but now, standing outside the tall building of flats, an uneasy feeling was settling in my stomach. Mother would be heartbroken when she got back from her trip. Would she come looking for me? Maybe I should go back. No. I had to do this. I took in a deep breath as I walked in through the double doors, my long braided hair swaying behind me. It had taken hours to put it into a plait, I couldn't exactly walk around London with magical hair trailing everywhere. In front of me was a long set of stairs that swirled up to the top of the building with an elevator that ran in the middle of them. I checked the news paper ad that I had cut out for the apartment number. The ad said it was an averagely sized flat with three other people already living there. It had three bedrooms, kitchen with attached living room and two bathrooms. It seemed perfect for someone starting out in the city and the rent wasn't too expensive. The apartment was on level 20, near the top of the building so I decided to take the elevator. I pressed the button as it made a little ding noise and waited for the doors to open. When they did, I quickly jumped in, pulling my pink suitcase in behind me. I idled there quietly, elevator music playing in the background until the doors reopened on the right level. I lugged my suitcase back out, pulling it along the floor until I found the right apartment. The door was white with a gold 52 painted on it, maching the handle which was also painted gold. I smoothed out my knee length lilac dress before looking at my chameleon, Pascal, who had been sitting silently on my suitcase the whole time.

"This is it.." I whispered as I turned my attention back to the door. I took another deep breath as my clenched fist hovered in front of it.

"Come on Rapunzel, you can do this." I said to my self as breathed in and out a couple of times, calming my nerves. I knocked on the door confidently so the residents inside could here me. I heard movement inside and the buzz of a television as I waited.

"Jack! Get that will ya?!" It was a female voice with a thick Scottish accent, at least one of them was a girl.

"Why don't you get it?!" A male voice, rough, presumably a boy named "Jack".

"'cause I'm busy!" The Scottish again, she seemed to be getting more annoyed with her male roommate.

"Just get the door, Jack." A different male voice, not as rough as the other but defiantly male.

"Urgh, fine.." I heard the springs of a couch or bed creak as the television noise was muted. The door swung open to reveal a young boy about the same age of me. He had unusually bright white hair with just as bright eyes of the coolest blue. They where remarkably beautiful and entrancing which contrasted against his extremely pale skin. He wore casual clothes including brown pants and a navy blue hoodie that had detailed frost patterns decorating the sleeves and around the neck. The ice looked weirdly realistic.

"Can I help you?" He asked it lazily as he leaned his head against the door with a sigh. He didn't have bags under his eyes but he looked exhausted.

"Erm...yeah, I'm here about the available room?" I held up the newspaper ad with a little shrug. Instead of replying, the boy turned around and started walking back to the couch, leaving me standing there with the door wide open.

"Merida! Someone's here about the room!" He shouted as he collapsed on to the couch, grabbing the tv remote off the table as he did so. I noticed there was a long stick with a crooked end leaning up against the couch next to him. Unusual piece of furniture.

The Scottish female I had heard earlier came rushing out one of the rooms, wiping her hands with a cloth and blowing her hair out of her face, which was a crazy mess of red curls spilling around her shoulders. She had a round face with deep blue eyes and a slim body. She wore black jeans with a dark green blouse that complimented the red of her hair perfectly.

"Hi! Don't mind Jack, he's in a mood today." She gestured to the boy on the couch with her head who stuck his tongue out her and grinned. She returned the cheeking gesture then turned back to me.

"So you're here to see the room?" She wore a friendly smile as she talked to me.

"Erm..yeah."

"Well come on in, I'll show you around." She stood aside and let me walk in, bringing my suitcase inside for me and leaning it against the wall.

"I'm Merida and I guess you've already met Jack." She gestured to her self and then to the boy on the couch who used two fingers to salute in our direction without actually looking at us.

"And Hiccup is...hey wheres Hiccup?" She turned to Jack who just shrugged.

"Probably in his room." He waved his hand towards the doors at the back of the apartment. Merida stormed over to one of the white doors and started banging on the wood with her fist.

"Hiccup! Get your butt out here!" She stood by the door and waited with her arms crossed until it slightly opened. A head popped out with ear length brown hair and pale green eyes.

"What?" It was the other male I had heard. He had a weird name, Hiccup? Odd.

"We have a guest. She's here to see the spare room.." She nodded towards me as Hiccup slipped out the room and looked at me.

"Oh..sorry, Hi!" He looked slightly younger then the others, maybe by two or three years but he didn't act immature, instead, he walked over to me with his hand out, ready to great me. I shook his hand as Merida followed him back over.

"I'm Hiccup..and you are?"

"Rapunzel." I nervously smiled as I let go of his hand.

"Cool name, where are you from?"

"Erm..I.."

"Geez Hiccup, stop smothering the girl with questions." It was Jack, who had gotten up from the couch and strolled over to us.

"Jack Frost, at your service." Jack Frost? Where had I heard that name before? He took my hand and shook it as he winked at me.

"Stop being such a flirt, Jack." Merida scoffed and rolled her eyes before grabbing my hand and pulling me behind her.

"C'mon, I'll show you ya room." She pulled me through one of the other doors and stopped, swinging me around in front of her.

"Ta da!" She spread her arms out dramatically with a grin. I gazed around the room in awe. There was a modern four post bed in the corner, much like my old bed, with a brown table settled next to it holding a white lamp. There was a large window that let in golden rays of sunshine, filling the whole room with a golden glow. There was even a cushioned chair in the corner with a foot stool next to the large wooden wardrobe.

"Its not much but it'll do."

"Are you kidding? Its perfect!" I skipped into the room merrily, jumping on the bed and admiring the floral sheets.

"Woah, that's a lot of hair." Jack commented as he came trailing in, pulling my suit case behind him and plopping it on the bed next to me.

"Err...thanks?" I weakly smiled at him as he walked back over to Merida, leaning against the door frame with crossed arms.

"So..what do you think? You up for it?" Merida crossed her arms like Jack and gave me a smug smile.

"Defiantly." I grinned back.

"Great! Well, we'll leave you to unpack." Jack nodded as he followed Merida back to the living room.

I was going to be happy here, I just knew it.

Jack

I laid down on the couch, rubbing my eyes and dragging my hands down my face. I'd been out all night freezing ponds and trees, getting ready for winter so I was physically drained. It wasn't fair how everyone else got to sleep, considering I was the one who had to do the most work. They did haven't duties like I did. I mean yeah, sure, Merida had her duties as a princess and Hiccup had to exercise and feed Toothless every so often but I had to travel around continents almost every night making it snow, it was exhausting being a Guardian. It was always winter somewhere.

Ever since I'd been enrolled as a Guardian, more and more people had started believing in me as my story got around. Most children could see me and there was even the occasional adult who believed so I wasn't really surprised that Rapunzel could. But there where some advantaged of being invisible, the staff at our local supermarket couldn't see me at all so it got me out of grocery shopping, plus it was brilliant for pulling pranks.

I grabbed my staff from its resting place and started tracing the twists in the wood with my fingers. I heard Merida sit down on one of the chairs and put her feet up on the coffee table. She really had no manners at all.

"So what do you think of the new girl?" Merida asked as Hiccup slumped down on the end of the couch near my feet, resting his arm along the back of it.

"She seems nice, I think she'll get on well here." Merida agreed with a slow nod, biting the corner off one of her biscuits that she kept on the table.

"What about you Jack?" She asked with a mouthful of crumbs.

"Yeah, crazy long hair though." I pointed out as they both nodded. I hadn't really paid attention to her but I noticed her long braid of golden hair, it was hard to miss.

"I wonder why she never cuts it." Hiccup said thoughtfully as he snatched the remote of the table and started flicking through channels.

Rapunzel

I was just unpacking my art materials, setting them down on the table next to my bed when I heard shouting coming from the living room.

"Get it off me!"

"Jack, stay still!"

"Dude, just chill, stop jumping about!"

"What is it? Just get it off!" I ran into the living room to find Jack jumping about grabbing at his hair whilst Hiccup and Merida chased after him, trying to grab what ever was on his head. I narrowed my eyes, trying to see what it was. A little white lizard...

"PASCAL!" I shouted from my door before storming over to them. Jack had stopped leaping around and was now watching me as I approached them.

"Get off him!" Jack flinched as Pascal jumped down from his head and onto his shoulder. I stared the lizard down as he scurried downward, along Jack's arm before jumping over on to my shoulder. I plucked him off and held him on my hand directly in front of my face.

"Now, what have I told about scaring people like that? It's not nice." I waggled a finger at him as his skin faded from the white of Jacks hair back to his normal leaf green. I smiled at him as he frowned with puppy dog eyes, looking up at me.

"Fine, I forgive you, just don't do it again, okay?" His frown turned into a grin as he scampered back up my arm.

"What the hell is that thing?" Jack panted, hand on his chest. He was holding that stick I had spotted earlier with the crooked end. Was it some kind of walking stick?

"Pascal, he's my pet Chameleon."

"Well keep him off my head, his feet feel weird." I chuckled as Jack ran a hand through his hair. It was a very attractive gesture, one that would make any girl swoon but I held my ground, refusing to succumb to his charm.

"Don't worry, I will."
