Terribly sorry that this took a little later then expected. I just moved and had no internet for several days. (Much to my dismay!) However, I am back! Buuuuuuuuuut...Unfortunately you're all gonna hate me for this chapter because..erm..uh...well...you'll see...
Disclaimer-The only thing I own here is what seems to be a really depressing imagination.
No, no. This wasn't happening. Not to me. Not to her. She was just here. Am I dreaming? Maybe she has a plan. No, she can't. She promised. Why was she so sweet? That woman imprisoned her in a tower for her whole life and tried to kill me. Yet, she still was so obedient. That makes her sound like a pet. Which Gothel treated her like.
I could've sworn I heard a crash coming from underneath me somewhere. Was it Rapunzel? Was she hurt? No no no no no. How could anyone hurt such a sweet and innocent girl. There had to be some reason, and not just her hair. There was something about her that Gothel had to keep hidden.
I can't just sit here. Rapunzel is in danger. I need to get to her. Now! I was still in those chains though. How the hell was I meant to get out of those. How pathetic is that, a thief that can't pick a lock.
I looked down at my foot. A key was laying there. A key that wasn't there 5 seconds ago. I felt as confused as I did when I first met Rapunzel. I looked back down and saw a familiar little reptile sitting on my knee.
"Pascal!" I yelled. I never thought I would be so happy to see the frog (lizard... No chameleon...whatever he was.) He let out a little squeak. He had turned a dark blue. I took the key he gave me and unlocked the chains. God, I was so relieved to be able to move around. (It's not very appealing to lie in a puddle of your own blood.)
Shuddering at the sight I ran to the tile that Rapunzel had disappeared into. As I lifted it I noticed what seemed like a long plummet. That woman, there must have been a ladder there, and when she took Rapunzel down there she moved it.
That damn woman. How am I supposed to get to her? Gothel just practically kidnapped her, and there was no way I could find her. No, I had escaped death...twice...to be with Rapunzel. I wasn't letting her get away from me again. I am going to find her. I won't ever stop until the day I die. She is my new dream, and she always will be.
I heard a familiar neigh come from below. Max! He must have seen them! He knew where they went! Wherever that ladder led to almost certainly led outside. When they left Max would have seen them and followed them!
I grabbed my two arrows and climbed down that wicked tower as fast as I could. The sooner the better. I expected to get to the bottom and find Max ready to lead me to my dream. However, that was not the sight I was greeted with.
Maximus laid on the cold wet ground, dead.
"NO!" GOD, WHY WAS THIS HAPPENING! MY ONLY HOPE. Max was the only piece of hope I had of finding Rapunzel. Now he's lying lifelessly with eyes peacefully shut. I knew just who did it too. That witch. God. She was so much smarter then I realized. When I find her I will make sure she pays.
I screamed. It did me no good. I hated everything at that moment. My life was a living hell. Everything happy in my life died when I was three. That fire destroyed everything I ever knew. Including my family. The first good thing that came of my life was Rapunzel. Now look. She's gone like everything else happy.
"I give up," at least, I did for that split second. That was, until I saw the trail of muddy footprints.
PLEASE. DON'T. KILL. ME. I'M SOOO SORRY! REALLY...I JUST...I HAD TO IT'S THE ONLY WAY THE PLOT WOULD WORK! SO IF ANYONE WANTS ME I'LL BE BATHING IN ACID! SORRRRYYYYY! I tried to give it a better ending! I know it's a little short too...okay so it's REALLY short. I don't even like this chapter...but the next chapter will be better and looooong! Well, I'll try to have it out by next week...That is if y'all don't hate me too much by then!
