The King of Corona had hired her because Jane was busy chasing down Nordic creatures and they needed someone to get rid of the creature in the tower.

Gothel, they called her. A vampire that stole blood and life force from anyone who passed by. There were rumors that she had kidnapped the lost princess when she was a baby to steal her life force too.

Darcy snorted a little as she trotted along on the trail that was marked toward the hidden glen where they thought Gothel was hiding. Chances were that the baby was already either dead or a vampire herself. But a paycheck was a paycheck. At least she seemed more credible than the thief that she saw approaching the castle. A witch of her standing could probably make him run around in circles before he could find his own tail.

At her horse's snort, she looked up from the map. Nothing. No entrance to the naked eye.

"Great! They gave me a crappy map!" She searched through her saddlebag for the quartz she used for scrying and let it twirl itself over her map. "Show me Gothel." The stone circled around the map before pointing squarely at the curtain of vines. "Huh."

Darcy slid off her horse and tucked away the map, following her crystal through the curtain of vines and into some sort of hidden grotto. She took a minute to soak in the wonder of what the place looked like before letting her gaze settle on the lone standing tower.

"Bingo."

She snapped her fingers and disappeared in a cloud of smoke before reappearing inside the tower.

Rapunzel screamed at the puff of smoke that appeared in her and Mother's living room, dropping the candle she'd been holding as she ventured out of her room for the night. She resisted the urge to bare her fangs as she usually did when startled, her hands flying over her mouth. Her bare feet quickly slid back as fast as she could, hitting a wall. Grabbing helplessly to find something to defend herself, she brandished a candleabra and held it like a baseball bat.

"Get out!" she squeaked, with as much might as she could muster. Her eyes were set determinedly, which wasn't much except that they were unnervingly dark-- a start contrast to the long blond hair curtaining them.

This was Gothel? This was the thing that everyone was scared of?

Darcy snorted a little. Gothel sounded harmless.

"Listen, Gothel, I'm not leaving. King of Corona asked me to pretty much tell you to stop hurting the people in his kingdom."

Darcy walked around the room to get a lay of it. Pretty simple furnishings; some baking; pottery. Ooh, a cookie. Darcy picked it up and sniffed it. Chocolate chip, her favorite.

"But hey, if you're this threatening, you should maybe just pick up your things and head out to another town. If it's not me, they're gonna send some schlub that thinks he's a vampire hunter." She snorted. "You wouldn't be able to believe this guy. Couldn't even tell a witch from a watch."

"Put the cookie down," she demanded, listening to the strange girl and getting more concerned by the second. Her dark pupils worked feverishly as she tried to take in all the information, hungry to hear everything, but not liking what she did hear so far. She gripped the metal item tighter and stepped toward her assailant.

"I'm not Gothel," Rapunzel said after another moment. Her eyes looked away for a moment, her lips parting for a moment as she bites her lip, but she quickly slips them back into her mouth in a flash. The hunter didn't know who Rapunzel was-- why was she going to tell her? "But I'm not telling you where she is if you're gonna hurt her! I- I think it's best if you just leave."

The cookie had been halfway to her mouth when Gothel stopped her. Or not Gothel. Darcy squinted in the low light before picking up a candle from the table where the cookies were. She took a deep breath and blew over the wick, setting it alight so that she could see better in this new moon night.

"First off, why can't I have the cookie?" she asked. She was a witch who knew what she wanted. And she wanted a cookie. It smelled pretty good. "And second, who are you? I've got no plans to hurt her. But the King of Corona sent me here, hoping to stop her. I was hoping that I could convince her to just hike to the next town, start over."
