The morning sun touched her eyes & Rapunzel woke up. She found herself lying in Eugene's tight embrace. The wonderful memories of the last night were still vivid in her mind that made her blush. She smiled shyly & kissed Eugene's sleeping face gently. Then she stood up & walked outside the cave in the glorious morning. She wanted to surprise Eugene today with a special dish.

She began to search for food humming a song to her. When she reached near the lake suddenly she noticed a shadow of someone beside her. 'Oh, naughty boy..' she giggled to face her follower & she froze o see Prince Albert.

'I was searching for you two.' Albert gripped her shoulder tightly 'Now tell me where your precious criminal is?'

'I'll never tell you.' Rapunzel spat on his face.

'Well, now you leave me no choice, princess;.' Albert's handsome smile changed into an evil grin 'I need to use my cruelest way on you.' He gave her a lustful look & licked his lips 'You'll be delicious, princess.'

Rapunzel soon found that struggling was pointless. He was stronger that her. But she tried to free herself but soon Albert managed to throw her on the ground & began to move over her body. 'Still if you tell me about that criminal I'll leave you.' He whispered trying to stick his filthy tongue inside her mouth. But Rapunzel continued her struggle 'You evil monster.' She hissed. But suddenly she noticed the fortune diamond glittering in the locket around his neck.

'You stole that!' Rapunzel hissed.

'Actually my men Rupert & Tom did it for me so that I could use its enormous power to spread my kingdom.' Albert laughed manically.

'You can't do that.' Rapunzel tried to reach the diamond but suddenly Albert twisted her arm painfully. Rapunzel scream in pain. 'Tell me again or you'll loose your honor.' Albert tore her corset into pieces.

Eugene woke up in a pool of sweat. He just had a bad dream about Rapunzel. He turned his head to find her but she was gone. He jumped on his feet to search her nearby. But there was no trace of her.

Suddenly he heard a shrill cry. 'Rapunzel; he recognized her voice.' She is in trouble.' He ran to follow the cry & soon he found her near the lake half naked under Albert. She was struggling hard to defend herself.

Eugene took quick decision. He took a pebble from the ground & threw it aiming Albert's head. The pebble hit the target & Albert fell on the ground unconscious.

'Eugene.' Rapunzel flew into his arms. She was still shivering with fear burying her face in his vest. 'Hush, Blondie.' Eugene patted her back gently 'It's alright.' Then he covered her with his own vest & wrapped his arms around her gently.

After a long moment Rapunzel broke the hug 'I found the diamond.' She smiled happily. Eugene saw the diamond was glittering in her hand. His eyes widened 'How could you find that?'

'From Albert.' Rapunzel hugged him again 'Now we can prove you innocent.'

'I'm proud of you Blondie.' Eugene pulled her face nearer & touched her lips in a warm passionate kiss.

They didn't know how long they stood holding each other. But suddenly a metallic sound attracted Rapunzel's attention. To her horror she found Albert throwing his sword aiming Eugene's heart who was still burying his face in her shoulder.

'No' in a blink of eye Rapunzel threw Eugene out of the way & the next moment she fell on the ground dead with he sword penetrating her small slender body.

Next- Diamond let your power shine & a sacrifice.

Will Eugene can use the healing power of the diamond to revive Rapunzel or he has to loose her forever?
