Golden Curse
Golden Curse
Narrator's pov:
"How about you wish for eternal life...?"
Rapunzel blinked and looked at the old lady, the old fortune etller giving her an almost wicked grin.
"H-how... it's impossible to live forever even if i wanted it to happen, it jsut can't...!" Rapunzel hissed, tears threatening to escape her teary eyes.
The lady chuckled amused, taking Rapunzel's hand, making her shiver for unknown reasons.
"Nothing is impossible. If you want it enough, then everything is possible. Wishing and cursing, it's all the same, if you give up on everything and solely want something, it becomes reality."
Rapunzel looked dazed at the woman who slowly hypnotized her with her words and wicked smile.
"I... I want to live... I don't... want to d-die..."
"Then wish for it, but every wish and curse comes with a prince."
Rapunzel frowned and looked at th old woman who chuckled, giving her goosebumps.
"What should I do then?"
"Take the life of others to give it to yourself."
Rapunzel gasped and looked around before glancing at the old woman again, who was still sitting there calmly, waiting for an answer from her.
"You want me to kill?!"
"Oh dear, you're not killing them, you're just taking their lives and mixing them with yours, expanding your life span and making you immortal. You'll stay young forever, pretty forever if you would just take years away from other people."
"W-will it r-really w-work?" Rapunzel stammered, so excited as her heart was beating faster than it ever did.
"Yes..." the old lady nodded slowly. "Though there is a condition. You can only take years away when it's dark. And only true love can help you if you need it."
Rapunzel nodded and thanked the old lady before going away, muttering to herself that she really wanted to live without having to die.
"Where did you go?" Kibum asked as he saw Rapunzel walking to him and Gohee who gave her a small smile.
"Just looking around..."
Kibum nodded and quickly helped Gohee with the fruits they bought, making rapunzel look at the two, envy growing inside her body, jealousy, so many negative feelings, slowly building up inside her.
Rapunzel smirked as she looked at her bloodied hands.
A soft but louder growing laughter erupted in the night as she felt her body getting stronger, younger and full energy.
"R-rapunzel...?"
The young golden haired woman looked aide, finding Kibum standing there with fear in his eyes.
"Kibum..." Rapunzel chuckled, standing up and wiping the human blood on her clothes, dirtying them. "You're not sleeping?"
"Rapunzel, what si this? What's going on?" Kibum demanded to know but Rapunzel only shrugged, giving Kibum an almost sloppy smile.
"Kibum, you know... the biggest fear I had? Dying... I don't want to die, I'm going to live forever!"
"What are you even talking about?! That's impossible! You're killing people now! That's a crime!"<
