The Ghost of Gothel
Chapter 3 Threatened
"Who would send you that? Don't you have to be dead to get that?" asked the Captain. "Look, another note." said Thomas. "Read it." said William. "It says: Did you like the flowers Rider? You're going to pay for stealing my flower; even if it involves you kicking the bucket. Signed M.G." said Thomas. "Oh no, this is bad, this is really bad, this is really, really bad." said Eugene nervously.
"What does 'kick the bucket' mean?" asked Thomas, "Does it mean he'll have to kick a bucket hard so his foot will hurt?" "No Thomas, 'kick the bucket' means to die. So that means: Rider's going to pay for stealing Rapunzel; even it involves her killing him." said the Captain. "Thank you, Captain Obvious!" said Eugene angrily because he was freaking out that Mother Gothel was back and she wanted revenge. He remembered the flashback like it was a worst enemy.
The flashback in Eugene's POV:
"Rapunzel, I thought I'd never see you again." I said as I climbed into the window of Rapunzel's tower. I looked up and saw Rapunzel all tied up. She was trying to say something but I couldn't understand because she was gagged. I looked at her in shock for a few minutes. Suddenly, I felt something cold and sharp in my right side. I grabbed my right side as I fell to the ground like a mighty oak.
Reality:
"Rider? Rider? Hello?" said the Captain as he called Eugene back into reality. "Huh?" asked Eugene as he came back to reality. "Are you okay Mr. Fitzherbert?" asked William. "Huh? Oh! Yes, everything's…." said Eugene as he paused for a moment looking at his right side to make sure it was okay. He then had a serious look as he remembered the cruel face of Gothel, and then sad because he remembered how Rapunzel had felt at that time.
"Mr. Fitzherbert?" asked Thomas as he shook him lightly. "Y-yes Thomas?" said Eugene as he was jolted back into reality again. "Are you sure you're okay?" asked Thomas. "Uh…not really." said Eugene. "Why not?" asked William. "It's kind of a long story." said Eugene. "We don't care takes the entire day; we just want know what's wrong with you." said Thomas.
Eugene told them everything about Gothel. How Gothel was mean and cruel. How she would lie to Rapunzel to scare her. All the mean cruel things that she did up until she died. The guards were shocked at all the terrible things Gothel had done to make Rapunzel and Eugene hate her so much. From when she kidnapped Rapunzel as a baby to when Gothel stabbed Eugene.
"Wow! Gothel sure did a whole lot of bad things to make you and Rapunzel hate her so much!" said Thomas when Eugene was finished with the story. "See what I mean?" said Eugene. "Oh, we sure do see what you mean." said William. "Are you going to tell Rapunzel that you're being threatened too?" asked the Captain. "I'm not sure." said Eugene. "Well, you better. It'd be better to tell her the truth than to keep a secret this dark from her." said the Captain. "The Captain's right. It'll be better if Rapunzel knew you were being threatened than to keep this threat away from her." said William. Eugene thought for a moment and knew what to do.
Do you love it? Hate it? Review please! In the next chapter, you'll find out Eugene's decision. Do you think he's going to tell Rapunzel or do think he's going to keep this from her? Plus, I'll give you a hint on the show where I got the funeral wreath idea from. The show's about a man from a small town in North Carolina joins the United States Marine Corps and gets on his Sergeant's nerves. Maybe that'll help a little.
