Disclaimer: I do not own the ideas of Tangled.

Since I'm assuming we've all seen this movie, I'm not putting the full scene that I rewrote. I'm just putting the main portion of it, and quoting the movie as best as I can. So, yeah. Please don't complain that it's incorrect.

Prologue

The young blond fought against the chains that were wrapped around her wrists. She tried to yell out against the rag that had been tied around her head, covering her mouth, but it was useless. Struggling, she tried to get to the wounded man who was keeled over, bleeding, on the other side of the room.

"Rapunzel!" Screamed the sadistic looking woman on the other end of the chains. "Stop fighting me!"

As if on cue, the girl shook the rag off and got it to reston her shoulders. "No! I will never stop fighting you! For the rest of my life, I will never stop!" The black-haired lady stopped tugging as the two glared at each other for a moment, before the girl spoke again. "Let me heal him!" Demanded the teenager, which drew no response from her 'mother'.

"But if you let me save him, I will go with you." The negotiation seemed to be working. "I won't try to leave."

"No… Rapunzel…" The man breathed.

"I will never run. We'll be together forever. Exactly the way you want." The woman sighed and agreed as she released Repunsel from the chains, and instead tied up the man as Rapunzel threw herself on the ground next to her friend.

"Eugene!" She held his face in her hands as she stared into his eyes. "You're gonna be okay…" She said in a near whisper as she began to wrap her hair around his torso, where his stab wound was.

"Rapunzel… Don't…" He pleaded weakly, his voice barely above a whisper.

"I can't let you die…" Rapunzel breathed, causing him to shake his head.

"But if you do… You'll die…" She shook her head as she began to sing.

Flower gleam and glow.

Let your power shine.

Let the clock reverse.

Bring back what was once mine.

Change the fate's design.

Save what has been lost.

What once was mine.

Her hair glowed with the brilliance of the stars, as her magnificent voice filled the small space, causing the man to try to fight.

"N… No…! Rapunzel…! S… Stop…!" It was too late though. His wound had healed, and the second it happened, he saw the woman pull Rapunzel away. Pull away his love.

He began to strain against the chains as he caught one final glimpse of the girl, her expression filled with remorse and a tear in her eye, as she desended the hole on the other end of the room.

"Rapunzel!" He yelled as he tried to get to her. "Rapunzeeeeeel!"

Line break

AN: Short, sweet, and to the point. It's definitely not the longest prologue, but that's really just as long as I needed.
