A cold breeze blew across her face startling Rapunzel awake.
Had Eugene left the left the balcony doors open?
She pulled herself from Eugene's embrace and walked to the french doors.
"Oh, Eugene," she whispered.
She turned around suddenly jumpy at the darkness. Was their room always this dark? The usually brightly painted walls now seemed ominous. Her pretty murals of fields and festivals, the boat ride she ad Eugene shared were hard to make out, and it made her feel more scared.
She sprinted back the safety of the bed, but was pulled down by an unseen force. The body climbed on top of her back and clasped their hand over her mouth muffling her screams.
Eugene only shifted slightly in bed, always a heavy sleeper.
Rapunzel struggled under the weight of her kidnapper, but they were clearly much stronger. She chomped down on the hand covering her mouth causing them to cry out.
"EUGENE," cried Rapunzel.
Eugene bolted up at the panicked cry. She could see his silhouette frantically move about.
"Dispose of him," came the male voice of the kidnapper on top of Rapunzel.
Another figure moved from the shadows and knocked him over. Rapunzel could hear scuffling and a loud, swift crack, followed by a last moan. The other kidnapped walked back towards her moving into the pale moonlight coming in from the balcony window. Rapunzel could finally make out his red hair and eye patch. The Stabbingtons.
She gasped right before a blow to the back of head knocked her out.
