Chapter 4:Campfire

I pulled myself onto the creek edge.I'm alive I can't believe it I'm alive! Then I remembered why I was alive.

"Her hair glows!" I exclaimed in disbelief,"I didn't see that coming..."

"Eugene" Rapunzel said calmly.

"The hair actually glows!" I said becoming more panicked by the second.

"Eugene..." Rapunzel said sounding slightly more aggitated.

"Why does her hair glow!" I was on the verge of screaming.

"EUGENE!" exclaimed Rapunzel.

"What!" I exclaimed.

"It doesn't just glow." Rapunzel said.

Rapunzel's strange frog thing turned to me and smiled.

"Why is he smiling and me." I wimpered.

I made a fire and tried to keep my mind off Rapunzel's magic , the sun was beginning to set and Rapunzel and I sat on a log by the looked over at me and told me to give her my left hand (the hand I had cut well I was trying to dislodge the rocks back in the cave.) I gave her my hand and it pounded with gash was a lot bigger then I remembered ,Rapunzel began wrapping her hair around the cut.

"Well your being strangely cryptic as you wrap your magic hair around my injured hand." I said as calmly as I could.

The pain came back.I cringed.

"Sorry!' She said sympathetically,"Just dont freak out."

She has magic hair the glows and she expects me not to freak out? Reluctantly,I closed her eyes and began to sing.I hadn't fully heard her in the cave but now that I was hearing her clearly I noticed what a beautiful voice she was powerful but sweet and would have calmed me if I hadn't begin to see her hair begin to glow bright light travelled through her hair.I watched as it moved closer and closer to where it was wrapped around my the trail of light reached it I felt a warming was like beams of sunlight were radiating down on my Rapunzel stopped singing the golden light disappeared.I quickly unwrapped the hair from my hand and stared in cut was wasn't even a trace it had been there!I started enhaling glows and heals?I was just about to scream when Rapunzel cut me off.

"Don't freak out!" she pleaded.

As much as I wanted to she looked at me with such pleading eyes I couldn't.

"I'm not freaking you freaking out? No! I'm just very interested in your hair and the magical qualities that it posesses."I said staring at my hand,"How long has it been doing that exactly."

Rapunzel sighed and looked down.

"Forever." She answered,"Mother told me when I was a baby people tried to cut it, they wanted to keep the power for once it's cut it turns brown and looses it's power.

Rapunzel pushed back some of her hair revealing a tiny brown piece far shorter then the rest.I examined it closely.

"A gift like that it has to be protected."She continued,"That's why Mother never...That's why I never left..and..."

It all made sense now..well not really seeing as how glowing hair is involved but still.I felt sympathetic watching away for her entire life by an overprotective mother never seeing the world it seemed... someone as special as her and I don't mean her power I mean everything else about her.

"And your still going back?" I asked.

She can't go back there not after what she's deserves to be free not confined to a tower for the rest of her life, whether her mother likes it or not.

"Yes..." Rapunzel began,"No...It's complicated" she said putting her hands on her head.

I couldn't think of anything to broke the silence.

"So..Eugene Fitzherbert huh?" She said looking up.

I had been hoping to avoid my backstory but looks like there's no way of getting out of this.

"Uh..yeah.I'll save you the sob story of poor, orphan Eugene Fitzherbert" I started, "It's abit...Well..It's abit of a downer."

I hoped she wouldn't want to know more but my luck isn't that good clearly. Rapunzel moved closer and fixated her eyes on me.I had her full attention.I laughed and began to tell her about my childhood hero Flynnagin was everything I wanted to be.

"Was he a theif too?" Rapunzel questioned.

I stopped in the middle of my did she know I was a thief? Then I realized she had seen the wanted poster at The Snuggly Duckling.I have never been so disappointed in being a thief in my entire must think so poorly of me 's moments like these I wish I was someone other then Flynn Rider.

"Uh..Well no." I continued,"he had so much money he could do anything he wanted to do,he could go anywhere he wanted to go and for a kid with nothing...I don't know I guess it just seemed like the better option."

I looked down and when I looked back I was staring directly into Rapunzel's were people's green eyes are darker but her's were bright eyes locked and I felt good for once but then I realized I must look like I'm staring at her and shook it off.

"I..uh..better go get some more fire wood." I said getting up.

The fire was fine but I couldn't stay there.I was almost to the forest when I heard Rapunzel call softly.

"Hey..uh..for what it's worth I like Eugene Fitzherbert much better then Flynn Rider."

Normally I hated my name but the way she said it made me love was it I didn't want to leave her side?

"Well then you would be the first" I said looking down at my hand,"but thank you."

I walked off into the trees, my mind liked Eugene better then Flynn? Why? She doesn't have to go back to that tower she can come with course I can't be a thief anymore if she does, but I can use the money from the crown...the crown! I had completely forgotton all about my this point I don't even care if I get it back or no.I don't care about the crown or the money or my own private island I only care about her! No..no..no..Flynn Rider doesn't fall in love...but...maybe Eugene Fitzherbert is wrong I can't even consider 's too late I only care about her and she's all I will care about.I'm taking her to see those lanterns and I'm savouring every last second of it.
