Eugene sat up, groaning as he felt the bump on his head. Who had hit him? And more importantly, he realized as he looked around, where was Sunflower?
It had to have been Gothel! She had hit him while he was distracted and took Sunflower! He only hoped they had gone to the tower. That way, he would be able to find them.
He raced to the place where he knew the tower was hidden. He pushed through the curtain of leaves and ran to the tower. There it was, tall and foreboding. He was about to call for Sunflower, but stopped. Better not to announce himself. He knew how that had gone the last time.
He began to climb the tower. He finally reached the top and looked through the window. He could see Sunflower, sitting on the floor. She wasn't tied up, which was good.
She saw him then. A scared look appeared on her face, and Eugene got worried. What was Gothel going to do to her if she saw him. He didn't want to find out, so he took action.
"Sunflower!" he said. "Don't trust her. She's lying to you!"
Sunflower shook her head. "She told me everything."
"She's not your real mother!" cried Eugene. "She stole you when you were a child!"
Sunflower looked at him. "What?"
"She's using you for your hair!" he cried. "You have to get rid of her, Sunflower! You have to kill her!"
