Hey, sorry for the late update. I didn't have some inspiration, but now I do. I was listening to "Ghost" by Fefe Dobson when I thought part of the song would be good for this chapter. Basically in this chapter, Rapunzel and Eugene now know that Gothel's a ghost. They could feel her and hear her everywhere. You could see how it troubles them.
Disclaimer: I don't own Tangled or "Ghost"
The Ghost of Gothel
Chapter 6 Haunted
Eugene and Rapunzel couldn't sleep at all that night. They kept having nightmares, and someone very stupid could figure out why they were having nightmares: Gothel. They knew they couldn't tell the King and Queen because they'll be dead in the blink of an eye if they told them about Gothel. They kept it to themselves, but that didn't work at all. It not only haunted them at night; it also haunted them during the day.
Rapunzel was very distracted from lessons. She was tired and scared at the same time. Her tutor had to constantly get on to her. Every time her tutor would snap at her, she would jump because she thought Gothel was there. "Rapunzel!" snapped Mrs. Hunter, her tutor. "Ah!" screamed Rapunzel as she was jolted out of her thoughts. She breathed in and out slowly trying to slow her heart that was beating faster than usual from that surprise. "What's wrong Princess?" asked Mrs. Hunter a little concerned.
Rapunzel knew she couldn't tell her about Gothel because she'll end up telling her parents. Instead she said, "Oh, nothing. I'm just a little jumpy." laughed Rapunzel. Mrs. Hunter didn't find that amusing at all. She knew was wrong with Rapunzel, but she didn't want to say it. She just shrugged it off and continued teaching Rapunzel about the rulers of Corona and how they made Corona a better place.
As if it wasn't bad enough for Rapunzel, it was worse for Eugene. He kept falling asleep during when he usually was going to teach the young soldiers of Corona. When someone tried to wake him up (usually the Captain), he would wake up and shout a little then grab his chest and calmed down. But for about the tenth time he was waken up, he made a big mistake.
"Rider, for the tenth time wake up!" yelled the Captain as he groaned and woke up Eugene who fell asleep. Again. It was annoying to the Captain that he had to wake him up. Strangely, instead of waking up and shouting again, he was still asleep and shouted something. "Get away from her you old bat!" shouted Eugene as he hit the Captain. "Ow!" yelled the Captain and that woke up Eugene. "I'm so sorry sir!" said Eugene when he woke up and realized what he done. He tried to go to the Captain and try to see the huge bruise he left on the Captain's arm. "Just go Rider! Ow!" said the Captain as he grabbed his swelling arm.
"So, how was your day? Because mine stunk." said Eugene when he met Rapunzel in the gardens. "Mine stunk too. I kept getting distracted and aggravating Mrs. Hunter." said Rapunzel. "Well, at least you didn't punch the Captain because you had a bad dream that Gothel was attacking you." said Eugene. "You punched the Captain?" asked Rapunzel surprised because she didn't know Eugene did something like that.
"What are we going to do? It's getting to us and it's affecting our friends." said Rapunzel. "I wouldn't say the Captain was my friend, but I see what you mean." said Eugene. "Wait a minute! Gothel said we couldn't tell my parents. She said nothing about friends." said Rapunzel. "So we can tell our friends about this situation?" asked Eugene curious to see where this was going. "Yes! We can tell our friends and they can help us!" said Rapunzel. "Which friends?" asked Eugene? "I happen to know who to tell about this situation! They're lovable, friendly, and helped us in our most horrible time." said Rapunzel.
So…..did you think that was a good chapter? Review please! I thought they should be so tired from that lack of sleep that they should do things that they would never do like when Eugene punched the Captain. Sorry for the short chapter, but it's going to be interesting in the next chapter. And can you guess who the friends Rapunzel is talking about? Adios for now.
