Hi, I'm here with another fanfiction I'm going to do along with my other one. In this one, it involves Gothel. She returns and wants revenge on Eugene and to get Rapunzel back. I got the idea after listening to "The Ghost of you" by Selena Gomez. Here it goes…..

The Ghost of Gothel
Prologue
"Rapunzel, I thought I'd never see you again." said Eugene Fitzherbert as he got into the tower expecting to find Rapunzel safe. But it was the complete opposite. Rapunzel was all chained up like a prisoner. Rapunzel was shouting but no one could understand because she was gagged. Then suddenly, someone plunged a dagger into Eugene's right side. This person happened to Mother Gothel.
Mother Gothel had kidnapped Rapunzel when she was a newborn. She kept her locked up for eighteen years. She wanted her for her hair. Her hair had the healing abilities of a golden flower that had the power to heal the sick and injured. She used the flower to keep her young. She wanted Rapunzel to be with her forever so she'll be young forever. She wanted to get revenge on Eugene because according to her: he took her "flower" away from her.
"Now look what you've done Rapunzel," said Mother Gothel. Eugene was groaning in pain. "Oh, don't worry dear, our secret will die with him." said Mother Gothel as she stepped over dying Eugene. Rapunzel grunted trying to get to Eugene to heal him. "And as for us, we're going where no one will ever find you again!" said Gothel as she tugged on Rapunzel's chains to the secret entrance to the tower.
Rapunzel grunted trying to get away from the secret entrance so she can get to Eugene. "Rapunzel, really? Enough already! Stop fighting me!" yelled Gothel. Rapunzel managed to get the cloth that gagged her off her mouth and she could speak normal. "No! I won't stop! For every minute of the rest of my life, I will fight! I will never stop trying to get away from you!" said Rapunzel. She paused for a moment and said, "But if you let me save him, I'll go with you."
Rapunzel knew it was a pretty big sacrifice to give up her freedom to save the man she loved. But clearly, Eugene didn't want that. He wanted Rapunzel to be free from the grasps of that witch Gothel. "No! No Rapunzel." groaned Eugene. "I'll never run; I'll never try to escape. Just let me heal him and you and I will be together. Forever! Just like you want. I promise. Just let me heal him." said Rapunzel.
Gothel agreed to that deal. She unchained Rapunzel, but she chained Eugene to the staircase. "In case you get any ideas about following us." said Gothel. Eugene was very weak at the moment. He was coughing like a person with asthma. Rapunzel rushed to him quickly. "Eu-Eugene!" she said. Eugene let out a groan of pain. Rapunzel moved his hand to reveal a dark red stain. Rapunzel knew this was serious.
"I'm sorry, everything's going to be okay." said Rapunzel as she put some of her hair on Eugene's wound. Eugene knew it wasn't going to be okay. Rapunzel would still be in the clutches of that old bat, Gothel. "No Rapunzel." said Eugene as he moved Rapunzel's hand away from him. "You have to trust me. Come on just breathe." said Rapunzel trying to put her hair on his wound.
"I can't let you do this." said Eugene. "And I can't let you die." said Rapunzel. "But if you do this, then you will die." said Eugene. "Hey, it's going to be alright." said Rapunzel. Eugene barely smiled when she told him that. Rapunzel was about to sing the healing incantation when Eugene interrupted. "Rapunzel, wait." said Eugene. He was leaning into Rapunzel making her think that he going to kiss her, but instead, Eugene cut her hair. He passed out after cutting her hair.
"Eugene? What the?" said Rapunzel in shock. "No!" screamed Gothel. Rapunzel watched her golden hair turn dark brown. Gothel was freaking out because that hair was her fountain of youth. She started age quickly. Her skin was wrinkly as an elephant, her skin became paler than a vampire, and her hair turned white as snow. She was terrified to see herself old. She covered her face with her cloak. Rapunzel watched in horror as her "mother" was turning old. Pascal, Rapunzel's chameleon, grabbed some of Rapunzel's hair with his mouth and made Mother Gothel trip. She fell out the window of the tower. Rapunzel reached out to grab her "mother."
Mother Gothel plummeted to the ground. She turned to dust as she reached the ground. There was nothing left of Gothel except a cloak and dust. Gothel was gone forever. Or was she?
So, what do you think? In the next chapter, it'll show Rapunzel's thoughts for Gothel as she is starting to live a happy marriage with Eugene.
