Hi, sorry for the late update last time for the previous chapter. I'm preparing to go to Tennessee for the Fourth of July and things got really busy. Anyways, in this chapter, you'll find out if Eugene will tell Rapunzel or keep this from her. And you'll be a little surprised at the end.
The Ghost of Gothel
Chapter 4 telling her the truth
"Rapunzel, meet me in the gardens at 6:00 before dinner. Eugene" said a note Rapunzel had found on her bed. She was curious what Eugene wanted to do this for. Was it an emergency? Then she flipped the note and it said: "P.S. Yes, this is an emergency." She knew she had to see Eugene. She spent the entire day wondering what this was about. It was finally 5:55 when she was finished with princess lessons and she knew she had to go to the gardens now to make it by 6:00.
There was Eugene sitting on a bench in the gardens underneath an oak tree. Rapunzel walked over not caring about losing her shoes as she walked over to Eugene. "Hey Eugene," said Rapunzel. "Hey Rapunzel," said Eugene who was tapping his hand on an empty spot on the bench next to him. "Now, what's this about?" asked Rapunzel as she sat down. "Well, today I got these notes along with a funeral wreath." said Eugene. "A funeral wreath? But you're not dead." Rapunzel laughed a little. "Not yet." said Eugene. "What do you mean?" asked Rapunzel as her laughter died. "Read the notes." said Eugene. "Hmm…" said Rapunzel as she read the note at first. Then, when she got to the part where it said "kick the bucket" she gasped and said, "No!"
"Now you see what I mean?" asked Eugene. "I can't believe Gothel's threatening you too." said Rapunzel when she caught her breath because the note gave her quite a shock. "I know, right?" said Eugene as he saw Rapunzel with a shocked look on her face. She hasn't been this shocked since she found out she was the lost princess. Then, Eugene stepped on something. He didn't realize there was something stuck on his boot until he went to stand up.
"What's that on your boot?" asked Rapunzel when she noticed Eugene trying to get the paper off his boot. "It's a note. It says: Rider, you told Rapunzel that I was threatening you. Smart boy. Because I think she should know that I'm planning revenge on you for stealing my daughter. So tell her that she needs to go to the tower in four days so I could redeem her. If she doesn't go, I will go to Corona, steal her back, and kill you. M.G. P.S. don't tell the King and Queen because if you do, they'll be in danger too." said Eugene as he was getting more and more scared as he read the note.
Uh oh! They're in a vine now! What do you think? I'm not used to writing anything suspenseful, but some of the books I read are suspenseful so that shouldn't be a problem. In the next chapter, you'll find out their reactions to the note. Review please!
