Hey, sorry broke my promise, it has been at least a month. I kind of forgot about this story. I bet I could have made it longer but this is the last chapter. This is kind of the Prologue to In Between, my failing story. I liked this one a lot better and I am very proud of the new One-shot MAYBE two-shot New Parents. I am working on a second chapter for that one. I actually got the inspiration by watching an old SHAYTARDS video. If you aren't familiar, it is a YouTube channel run by ShayCarl. He vlogs daily with his family, who all go by "Tard" names to protect their identity and give them a little privacy. I watched a really old vlog from when their fourth child was born and it made me think of my poll, and the top rated one was the one I just posted!

This is the final chapter, I think, of Back to The Kingdom. Please enjoy :)

Rapunzel POV

OK, we are in.

A few of the guards are leading me and Eugene through the courtyard to the closest castle entrance by my REAL parents. The ones who hopefully actually love me.

I am SUPER nervous and excited at the same time. Eugene says I need to calm down because I am shaking so hard.

"Are you okay Blondie?" I guess he isn't out of the habit of calling me that.

I am also a little distracted and jittery. It is almost like I am waiting for something to jump out at me. With all of the warnings that Gothel had given, me I was afraid one of them would come true. Even though she lied to me my whole life, I couldn't help but thinking at least something she said was true.

"Oh, yeah, I'm okay, just a little nervous I guess"

We were getting a little closer to the magnificent castle. It was beautiful. It was a lovely cream color with red and mint green roofs. Every single column and wall had an intricate design on it. I can't wait to add some murals to it. It needs a little color. I also can't believe Eugene and I are going to LIVE HERE! Well I assume Eugene is going to live here.

I still grasp Eugene's hand tightly and cling onto his arm. I didn't actually realize how nervous I was until I slipped on the marble steps from shaking too much.

Eugene and one of the guards helps me up

"Are you alright Princess Rapunzel?" says one of the guards

"Mmm hmm, uhh yeah I'm fine" I say clutching my head. Not because I hit my head, because I am trying to comprehend what is about to happen.

All of my life I have been unknowingly raised by someone who wasn't even related to me. I guess that happened to Eugene too, but he knew about it. I actually thought that demon was my mother.

Raised by someone who didn't really love me uncondittionally. Someone who kept me from my real family for thier own good.

I am 18 years old and I don't even know my real mother and father. I can barely even remember what they look like.

And I didn't do anything about it.

The guards point me and Eugene to wait on the balcony. The guard that let us in should be on his way to warn the King and Queen and they should be out any moment.

I put my arms on the balcony and rest my head on them. The cool breeze mixes with the warm feeling on my face. It seems so serene. Eugene puts his arm around my waist.

"Everything alright Goldie?" This makes me smile a little, another nickname I will probably never outgrow, even when my hair gets longer, it will still be brown.

I sigh a little "What if they are mad at my Eugene, I hurt them , I left them alone and scared for me for eighteen years. Not just a few hours like most kids, now even a week. Years Eugene" I can feel tears forming in my eyes, "What if they don't love me anymore?"

I know comforting people isn't Eugene's strong-suit but I desperately wanted him to say something to make me feel better.

"Rapunzel" He grabs my small shoulders and lifts my head up so I can look him in the eye, "It wasn't your fault. I think since your absence, they will love you even more. Don't be nervous, they are your parents and nothing could make them hold a grudge against you"

Then he kissed me. My second kiss. We broke apart smiling.

Just then the large doors opened and two people came out. A beautiful woman who looked just like me and a very tall man who had a little graying hair and a beard.

My parents.

And the rest is history.

The End of this story. I might edit it if I find a better way to end it. Like I said, the next chapter is pretty much Chapter 2 of my story In Between. Review! :) I know this is REALLY SHORT. Not even 1, 000 words. I added as much detail as possible. Maybe of more info later. Thanks for reading! :)
