Chapter 2

The twins and Rapunzel turned to see Mother Gothel standing by the trees.

"Mother." Rapunzel said.

"Let her go." Gothel said.

The twins laughed together. "You've got to be kidding. Why would we do that?"

Mother Gothel pulled out a long dagger from her cloak. "Let her go."

The twins laughed again and pulled out there swords.

"Your dagger is no match for our swords." The twin with the eye patch said. "Leave and forget about the girl."

Mother Gothel shook her head. "I can't do that. She's my daughter and I'll protect her until I die."

The taller twin smiled. "If that is what you wish then die." He turned to his brother. "Stay with the girl." He turned back to Mother Gothel and walked over to her.

"No." Rapunzel shouted as she watched as the taller twin moved swiftly to Mother Gothels side and stabbed her.

"Mother." Rapunzel said as she ran over to her side as she fell to the ground.

"Rapunzel run away." Gothel said.

Rapunzel shook her head and put a bunch of her blonde hair on Gothels wound. "I'm not leaving you. Flower–"

"No stop. I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"You're the Lost Princess."

"What?"

"You're the Lost Princess that everyone is looking for. I'm not your real Mother. I stole you as a baby so I could use your power to stay young and beautiful forever. I'm so sorry."

"It's fine. I need to heal you."

Gothel shook her head. "No. It's not fine. You've healed me enough through the years. Just let me go. Goodbye my daughter." Gothel closed her eyes and turned to dust.

Rapunzel started crying. "No."

The Stabbington Brothers walked over to Rapunzel's side and grabbed her.

"Now." Said the brother with the eye patch. "You're coming with us."
