Harumi's POV
"Well! I thought he'd never leave!"a familiar voice said behind me. I turned with a gasp, to see no other than my mother.
"Mother."I breathed out.
"Hello sweetheart."my mother said and I stood up.
"Mother, I-I..."I started saying and she was coming closer to me."How did you find me?"I asked while she wrapped her arms around me in a hug. I hugged her back.
"Oh, it was so easy sweethearts. I just followed your sounds of treason and betrayal."she said and I sighed.
"Mother-"
"That's enough Harumi, we are going home."she cut me off and started pulling me with her through my arm.
"Mom, you don't understand."I said and tugged on her arm to stop her. She turned to me with an annoyed look."That's an amazing adventure for me. I saw so much things!"I said, smiling like crazy, then remembered Lloyd."I met a guy..."I said looking down to not let her see my big smile.
"Yeah, that thief. Fantastic, now let's go."she said and turned around again, then pulled me with her.
"Mom stop!"I said and tugged my arm out of her grasp."I-I think he likes me.."I said, looking down once again.
"Harumi that's demented."mother said.
"Mom I-"
"This is why you should have never left!"she said, cutting me once again."That whole romance that you invented proves you are too naive to be here."she said, circling around me like a hungry animal, ready to attack it's pray."Why would he like you? Look at you!"she said, holding parts of my hair up."You think that he's impressed!?"she asked and let my hair down. She walked closer to the woods and turned to me."Don't be a dummy, come with mommy!"she said, smiling at me and singing a little.
"No!"I said, determined.
"No?"she asked, rising an eyebrow and her smile faded."Ohh....I see how it is."she said in a dangerous voice. She suddenly started singing.
You want to go outside? Why,
Rapunzel!
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower
I know but
That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
Guess, I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet
But
Shh! Trust me, pet
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
It's a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way or another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians and thugs, poison ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snakes, the plague
No! Yes! But
Also large bugs
Men with pointy teeth, and
Stop, no more, you'll just upset me
Mother's right here
Mother will protect you
Darling, here's what I suggest
Skip the drama
Stay with mama
Mother knows best
Got ahead, get trampled by a rhino
Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead!
Me, I'm just your mother, what do I know?
I only bathed, and changed, and nursed you
Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it
Let me die alone here, be my guest!
When it's too late, you'll see, just wait
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, you won't survive
Sloppy, underdressed, immature, clumsy
Please, they'll eat you up alive
Gullible, naive, positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm, vague
Plus, I believe gettin' kinda chubby
I'm just saying 'cause I love you
Mother understands
Mother's here to help you
All I have is one request
Rapunzel?
Yes?
Don't ever ask to leave this tower again
Yes, mother
I love you very much, dear
I love you more
I love you most
Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Mother knows best
And with that, she wrapped herself in her cloak and disappeared, leaving me alone in the dark.
