Twins in the Tower
Summary:
Hi, I'm Charlotte, the forgotten one. The disobedient one, the less loved one, and almost always the second best child, but that's okay, I guess. You probably have no idea who I am, but I know you all know my twin sister, Rapunzel. Everyone knows her. Everyone loves her, too, and I guess that includes me, despite the fact that she gets everything; she gets Mother's love, she gets all the attention, and she gets the boy of my dreams. On top of that, as much as I love her, she's a little pathetic. And dependant. And gullible... the list goes on and on. Oh, well, I guess that's just her: darling little helpless Rapunzel. Wish me luck, otherwise I might just kill her! Haha, kidding!... Kinda...
It seems Charlotte was born rebellious, so when Gothel kidnaps her and her sister, raises them in a tower, and tells them to stay put, what does she do? She sneaks out every night to join a band of thieves. When they rob a castle one night, Charlotte begins to unravel her past, but at what price?

Great Story!
The beginning sounds like something the brother's Grimm would write. The intro, where it switches to Charlotte is good.
The description is great, and the witty banter is funny. I like Vincent, he seems like the typical, (tortured), charismatic character that often appears in the best teen literature.
I only have one comment: How does the mother know it's Charlotte? Is it because her silver hair is so distinctive? Or is it because the resemblance is remarkably identical? Or was it just mother's intuition?
I just don't think it's too realistic for a mother to recognize a girl who she hasn't seen since she was a baby. I just feel like you should clarify that.
Otherwise, well done. Great story, the plot sounds like it could really become something great, but if you're really willing to make it a book, make sure the plot is longer than you're probably intending.
Good job, keep writing.
btw, please check out my story, Away from Tragedy(realistic fict. novel), Among the Stars(romance novel), Hands Stained Red(adventure-action novel), or IN THE LIFE: A collection of Poems(other novels). Please and Thank you.
