Chapter 3:Escape

I soared through the canyon.I was ecstatic there was no way those guards would be able to get me now!

"Flynn look out!" I heard Rapunzel scream.I looked down to see the Stabbington Brothers swords raised ready to strike.I quickly pulled up my legs and hoped for the best.I heard the swoop of their swords inches from my face and looked back to see their annoyed I'm homebound I may as well have fun with it.

"Ha! you should see your faces because you look..." I felt solid rock pierce my stomach as I hit the side of the opposite cliff,"Ridiculous." I managed to pain was excruciating but it wasn't the time to loose my barrings I quickly climbed onto the cliff edge and began to look for a way out.I slid down the old wooden water transporters and was soon reunited with Rapunzel at the bottom, but we weren't safe just if my luck wasn't bad enough The Stabbington Brothers were still hot on our trail (how relentless can you be?)I noticed Rapunzel's hair was dragging as she ran so I quickly snatched up the ends and continued to run with her.I heard a earsplitting crack and turned around to see an enormous wall of water engulf the now concious guards and in close pursuit of The Stabbington Brothers. I quickened my pace and it appeared Rapunzel had wall of water had now taken the Stabbington Brothers and was in fast approach of Rapunzel and colossal wave then hit a rock formation causing it to detach and only problem was it was falling right in our flooded my mind as I searched for a way out water,rock,drowning,death,passage...passage? I looked and saw a passage in the are saved!

Rapunzel and I managed to slide into the passage and regain possesion of the frying pan from some currents just before the formation hit the ground in front of the passage entrance trapping water began to seep into the room quickly gaining no.I can't die I'm too young! I quickly began diving looking for a way out,loose rocks,anything! All I could make out was afew minutes of trying I accepted that we weren't getting out of there.I resurfaced seeing the water was now at my shoulders.

"It's no use" I said,"I can't see anything."

Rapunzel's usually smiling face fell.I don't know why but seeing her sad looks just inhaled deeply and dove into the dark have got to be kidding me I though as I grabbed her and pulled her up.

"It's no use it's pitch black down there." I said.

Realization hit both of us as we leaned against the back of the cave and waited for is not how I expected I would die.I expected something heroic or in old age with tons of money but not drowning in a water filled cave with a girl who has 70ft. of hair.

"This is all my fault..." I heard Rapunzel say.I didn't dare look up at her.

"She was right.I never should have done this..." Rapunzel continued.I'm assuming she means her 's really not her fault she doesn't have to beat herself up about it.

"I'm...I'm so sorry Flynn." She barely finished the words as she burst out in tears.I looked up at was apologizing? She had nothing to do with the I hadn't been a theif and hunted by half the kingdom we never would have been her so sad I don't know why but made me feel awful.I mean she had it was worse then me. She was about to die the day before her birthday and her first day in the real world.I have to comfort her but how?

"Eugene." the words escaped my mouth before I had time to stop it.

"What?" Rapunzel said as she stopped sobbing.

Well now I have to continue since it made her stop crying.

"My real name is Eugene Fitzherbert...someone might as well know."

I waited for the laughter,for the criticism, for the teasing ,after all it is a horrible name, but it never came. Rapunzel just smiled.

"I have magic hair that glows when I sing." she said softly.

Wait? What! Magic hair? I must have not have heard her right. The water was beggining to raise this is it. Before the water engulfed me I heard Rapunzel sing a few words then it was all dark. I just froze waiting for my airflow to run out when my eyelids lit was something glowing. I opened my eyes and couldn't help but gasp (even though I lost most of my air) Rapunzel's hair, all 70ft. of it was glowing as bright as the sun.I looked down and saw a few strands getting sucks into a pile of rocks. We may still be able to get out! I swam down with Rapunzel close behind me and began shifting rocks.I had to be fast Rapunzel's hair was already starting to fade.I finally dislocated the key rock and the entire structure crumbled sucking me and Rapunzel outside into the air.
