Dedication to my stupid sister.
After meeting my real parents, and after all the big hugs and everything, my dad finally asked me who Eugene was.
"Oh… Dad, this is Eugene, and he is my… Lover."
"Hello, I am Eugene Fitzherbert." Eugene shook his hand with the king and the queen, and they all were talking politely and friendly until one of the guards decided to walk in.
"Dear King of… Flynn Rider?!" The soldier pushed the tip of his weapon at the throat of Eugene's neck. He froze in panic, and held up his hand automatically. My parents looked confused and I stopped the guard.
"Stop! What are you doing?" I shouted, and he looked at Eugene and me in confusing manner. I frowned, and pushed the weapon away from Eugene.
"But… But… Flynn Rider… What?!" He got confused, but he lowered his weapon. He looked at my parents, who were in shell-shock. I don't blame them, really. Who would have knew that the lost princess was in love with the most wanted criminal?
"Are… Are you Flynn Rider?" My dad carefully asked. I looked at Eugene, and he looked at me with frightened but determined look. He nodded slowly and sadly. My mother gasped, and my father's hands formed a fist in anger. His eyes were full of dancing fire and rage. I bit my lips in nervousness, and looked at my father hoping he will not make Eugene hurt. Eugene on the other hand, just looked at the ground in guilt. That's when my father started to snap at him.
"Flynn Rider… What did you do to my daughter? Did you lie to her? Did you hurt her? Are you planning to?" Dad was stomping towards him in anger and Eugene was backing up in fear and guilt. They are now dangerously close towards the edge of the balcony and…
"Stop!" I jumped in between them, and my dad stopped for a second and looked at me. Eugene opened his eyes wide in bewilderment and I continued on.
"Father, he saved me from my evil stepmother's hands! If he was not being chased and came towards my locked up tower, he would have never saved me! He saved my life!" I swelled up in happiness and my dad eyed him in doubt. I looked straight to my father's eyes, and tried to calm him down.
"Dad, please… Please don't arrest him. He saved… Saved my life, and now he's part of my life now. I cannot let him go." I sobbed at the end, and my dad hugged me tight. Then, he eyed Eugene suspiciously again. Eugene gulped, and he gave my dad 'I'm so sorry' look. My dad sighed, and looked at my green eyes. Then, he ordered in the determined voice.
"He's going to stay in the trial and the jail for 3 days. That's the law. Then, I don't know." He sighed in doubtfulness, and my mother still looked shell shocked that I am dating the most wanted thief. To me, he's funny, sweet, charming, nice, and… Lovely. Eugene looked worried but in determined look. Then, he was taken away to the jail.
"I have a bad feeling about this." I muttered and sighed. My mother hugged me tight, and whispered me this.
"i love you, honey. But, I cannot trust him beside you right now. I just can't…" She squeezed my hand, and I hugged her back tightly as I could.
"I understand, mother." I sighed, and when my parents looked at me in worries, I walked slowly towards my room, and threw myself on my new, comfy golden sheeted bed. I sighed in worries and looked at the sun painted ceilings. What is going to happen to Eugene? Surely the court will not… Hang him… Right? I mean, he saved the lost princess! Yeah, he'll be fine… He'll be fine…
I didn't even notice I actually slept! I got up from the bed, and looked at the clock. It was midnight, and I sat up. I couldn't fall asleep again, I just felt so refreshed.
I chanted he'll be fine, and then shook my head. No, Eugene is going to miss me from that horrible cells. If I am a princess, I can visit him, right? I got up in determination. I just got the best idea ever!
I opened my new bedroom door as quietly as I could, and peaked outside. No one was at the halls. Okay, that's good. I tiptoed towards the staircase to the bottom floors, and walked down and down and down until I met… A bricked wall? Shoot, I thought this led to the dungeon jails.
I sighed, and sat down at the last step of stairs with tired legs. I picked up a pebble and threw it on the bricked wall, blaming I did not check the right route. After throwing 20 of them in boredom, I decided to walk back until something caught my eye.
A brick was halfway inside the concrete fillings!
Curiously, I pushed in that brick more, and when it reached the end, the bricked wall started to slide open in front of me.
A secret entrance? Entrance to what?
I was curious so I decided to walk in. Hey, I'm a princess, and I am wandering around the huge castle. Surely I can do that, right?
I walked in bravely, and it was almost pitch black floors were There were few torches on the wall that sort of helped walking to the front, and it was… Spooky.
I looked back towards the bricked wall. It was still open, and I can just run towards it when I'm scared. Okay, I'm not scared, I'm not scared…
SQUEAK!
"AHHHH!" I screamed in terror, and when I finally decided to open one of my eyes, there was a little rat beside my foot. Oh. It's just a tiny rat.
The tray little sized rat looked adorable, and it's skinny long tail snaked around my waist. It was cute!
"Hello there?" I picked it up from the ground, and it's yellow eyes looked at me with curiousness and nervousness.
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you, little one." I smiled warmly, and he squeaked and walked around my hand in circles. I giggled and walked on. It felt like the rat was protecting me.
I walked on bravely while the rat continued to tickle around my palm, and I reached the dungeon.
The dungeon was a uncomfortable and… Disgusting place. The crooked tiled floor was making pools of liquid that I didn't want to identify and the black, huge metalled bars were just sending chills up on my spine. What was that smell? I squeezed on my nose, and the mouse hid inside my dress pocket. I walked on, trying to find Eugene. I saw some guards, but I never saw a lot of criminals. Thanks to Maximus almost all the crimes are gone.
I walked on and on bravely, until I saw a hallway without any lights. I walked back, picked up a torch from the wall and carefully walked on. The hallway echoes and some liquids from the celling fell on my dress and on the hallways, which made it spookier. I closed my eyes for a second, tried to adjust my eyes to the darkness, and opened my eyes. That's when I heard a whimpering of something. I instantly panicked and turned around.
"Who is that?" I asked in a trembling voice, holding the torch straight to nothingness and tried to make myself in a defending pose. Before i knew it, I was trembling in fear. The whimpering came again, but this time, I think it said my name. It said my name?!
"Rapunzel…"
"Ahhh!" I jumped again, but I think I recognize this voice. No, I know this voice. It belongs to…
"Eugene?" I yelled and looked around. Several guards started to come in, but I have nothing to hide. I kept yelling Eugene, and I heard the whimper again.
"Eugene!" I ran towards the voice and tried to find Eugene in any of those cells. I looked around and around searching for him, and the guards came to get me.
"Dear Princess, may I ask the reason why you are here?" he asked politely, and I responded immediately.
"Please help me find Eugene? I need to talk to him! I think he's hurt!" I started to frantically talk so fast, and the guard stopped me.
"Wait, who? There's no Eugene here."
"Oh, um… Flynn Rider." I added sheepishly, and he nodded.
"Okay, I will help you find him, but I cannot open those doors and you have to step at least 5 steps away from him because he's dangerous and bla bla bla…"
"Stop! I need to find him, and it's kind of… Urgent?" I looked at him with my green, big eyes, and he nodded and started to guide me.
We walked somewhere close to where I heard the whimpering, and next thing I know, I was in front of his cell.
"Eugene?" I asked with my uncontrollably trembling voice. I went closer, and reached for his hand. The guard looked at me with worries, but I gave him 'He's okay' look. Then, I bent my knees and looked closer to him.
"Eugene, are you okay?" I reached a bit more inside and got his big hands. I held on to it, and tried to wake him up.
"Eugene!" I whispered sharply to the air, and he woke up.
"Huh? What? Don't kill me… Rapunzel? How did you…" He woke up instantly from surprise and bolted towards the bars. We both grabbed our hands, and looked at each other in sadness.
"Are… Are you all right? I came here… I was worried about you." I blushed slightly and looked at him. He was smiling sadly and gazed sweetly into my eyes. It felt like he was comforting me with no words, just his gaze.
"I'll be all right. Don't worry, okay?" He reached out from the bars and pet my head slowly and affectionately. I looked at the ground and stopped my urge to sob.
"Are… Are you sure you're going to be okay?" I looked at him again with my teary eyes, and he nodded.
"Well, I sort of deserve this. I stole a lot from the palace." He sighed and looked at me.
"I'm sorry for my past… Now I have to face the consequences." He finished his words, and then the guard beside us made a fake cough.
"Princess, it's too late. You have to go."
"Just… Just 5 more minutes?" I gazed at him, and the guard slowly shook his head.
"I'm sorry, princess. No one should have been here anyways." I nodded, and kissed Eugene slightly.
"Take care… And…" I mumbled, and he smiled.
"I love you." He pecked me on the lips, and I smiled sadly.
"I love you more." Then, he let go of my hand, and the guard nudged towards the exit. I sighed, waved goodbye and left.
The guard guided me towards my room, and I walked inside again. He closed the door for me slowly, and I jumped on my bed again, with my shoes on. I couldn't care less.
The mouse peeked out and climbed up towards me.
"Oh hello." I smiled and asked if it was a boy or a girl.
"Are you a boy?"
It shook its head.
"Are you a girl?"
It nodded vastly and snaked my hand. It felt like it was giving me hope and comfort, and that's when I lost it. I sobbed and sobbed uncontrollably.
"I hope he's okay… What if he's not? What if the trial goes wrong? What if…" I sniffed and the mouse grabbed a box of kleenex for me.
"Thank you…" I sniffed more, clinging to the kleenex, and fell asleep before I knew it.
I had no idea this was the last time I would see him.
