Eugene's Treasure:
Chapter 2
The bright morning sun shone through the large windows of the bedroom. The warm rays danced across Eugene's sleeping face. He stirred slightly and opened his eyes, blinking trying to see through the blinding sun. Suddenly a small figure popped up and blocked the light from his hazel eyes.
"Julia?" he said sleepily.
"Goo moring teddy!" said the little girl, smiling. "will you pway hide n seek wiff me?" she batted her long eyelashes in the most adorable way possible" "pweeeeeeeze!" she added at the end.
"Uh, maybe in a little while, ok?" he said rubbing his face. Just then he remembered what Rapunzel had told him. He pushed back the heavy covers and jumped out of bed. Julia jumped back to avoid from being knocked over. Eugene threw on his vest and boots and ran out of the room and down the hallway.
"Teddy, wait!" Julia called after him but her voice was drowned out by his lungs heaving for air as he ran down the halls looking in each room, searching for Rapunzel. He wanted to tell her again how happy he was because he had freaked out last night when he learned that she was carrying his child. He darted in and out of rooms and ran into the kings weapon and game room. Animal heads decorated the walls along with several swords and hunting knives. But that didn't bother him, he was just looking for Rapunzel. He dashed out of the room and down the long stairs.
Meanwhile, Julia had been doing her best to keep up with him. her little legs ran as fast as she could as she zipped into various rooms looking for her protector. Without him, she felt scared and vulnerable. She finally made her way down the hall and skidded to a stop when she entered the king's weapon and game room. She shrieked as she looked at the strange animal heads on the wall. She turned away only to see more hideous ones on the other wall. She looked away again and saw all sorts of odd knives and swords. All of them looking very sharp and unwelcoming. All the animal heads seemed to stare at her. She finally burst out crying and ran out of the room. Her hands covered her eyes as she turned a corner.
Eugene had found Rapunzel eating breakfast with her parents. He had pulled her aside and told her how excited and happy he was. Everything in his life was perfect. He had a home, a loving wife, and now a new baby…and also there was Julia who put a smile on his face every day.
Suddenly there was a scream that was followed by a slight banging noise. It echoed through the silent halls of the castle. Eugene and Rapunzel exchanged looks, both wondering what that was. Then Eugene froze and remembered he had left Julia alone. He quickly took off down the hall, turned a corner and skidded to a stop. His breathing stopped, his heart sank. There at the bottom of the stairs was Julia. Her body limp on the floor, Her eyes closed.
