I had an idea. I was originally going to put this in the other Tangled story named Questions Needed To Be Answered, but I wanted to continue this one at the end.
What if Eugene hadn't cut her hair? What if he kissed her, was healed, and then watched her vanish from his life?
"In case you get any idea about following us," Mother Gothel said as she dropped Eugene's chained hand.
"Eu-Eugene!" Rapunzel ran up to him and dropped to her knees.
"No, Rapunzel," he groaned.
"I promise. You have to trust me," she whispered.
"No. I can't let you do this."
"And I can't let you die."
"But if you do this then you will die," he choked out.
"Shh… It's going to be alright." He weakly smiled knowing nothing would be alright. She opened her mouth to start singing but he stopped her.
"Rapunzel," he whispered, he wouldn't be able to hang on much longer," wait." He put his hand on her face and brought her in. Their lips met. It was like a spark went through each of their bodies. He kept his eyes open in fear for that he wouldn't be able to open them again. He looked at Mother Gothel standing in front of the broken mirror, impatient. They separated and brought their foreheads together. He watched her closed eyes as her mouth opened.
"Flower gleam and glow. Let your power shine. Save what has been lost. Bring back what once was mine. Heal what has been hurt. Change the fate's design. Save what has been lost. Bring back what once was mine. What once was mine." His pain was relieved. Well, only some of it. The pain that was about to make him die in her arms though, that was the pain that was gone.
She opened her eyes and made sure he was better before bringing her lips back to his. It didn't last long though. Mother Gothel yanked Rapunzel off of him and smiled evilly. "Remember your promise," she snickered. Rapunzel nodded, unsure now if she could leave him after that. He sat up and watched brokenheartedly as they walked across the room. She could not bear to look back as she and Mother Gothel lowered themselves into the hole in the floor. Rapunzel went first. Tears were already flying down her rosy cheeks. Mother Gothel pushed her head down and went down too. Just before pulling the tile back in place over her head though, she turned her eyes to him. "You got lucky, Rider," she hissed. "But if you follow us or try to find her again, that luck might just run out. This will be especially if you ever tell a single soul about her." With that being said, she pulled the tile into place and Rapunzel vanished from his life.
"Wait!" he shouted. "Wait, Rapunzel!" He yanked on the chain holding his hand. "No!" His heart tore. "Rapunzel stop!" He dropped his head in his hands and thought, or at least tried to.
"Come, Rapunzel." His head shot up toward the window. "A new place awaits us many miles from here." Even from up here, he could hear her sobs and whimpers. "Stop that crying! It is getting on my uppermost nerve." Things went quiet.
"Rapunzel!" he exclaimed. He couldn't do this, live without her. He didn't mean to think like one of those cheesy lines you hear in movies. It was just the straight truth. "Rapunzel, stop!" He tried to get up and go to the window but the chain on his wrist kept him behind. He tried to push it off his wrist. The metal scraped his skin and left it raw. Finally though, it fell to the floor and he jumped up to the window, ignoring the pain. "Rapunzel?" He didn't see her anywhere. He had missed her. He continued to holler out the window. To his unfortunate fate, he leaned out too far and slipped from the inside of the tower. Clawing and grasping out at the stones, he fell. Then, with a loud thump, he landed.
