A/N: Hey to all my beloved readers!
Here's the latest chapter on my firsts fanfic. I hope it was worth the wait.
Enjoy!
Eugene quietly crept towards the bush, careful not to disturb whatever was behind it. Rapunzel stood behind him carefully inching herself with every step, the sound was much too loud and too dense to be another bunny or any other small animal. But before anyone could do anything, Eugene felt a sharp pain from the back of his head as he heard the screams of a familiar voice.
The ex-thief woke up in his guest bed, his head throbbing in pain. He wondered if it was all just a dream, but unfortunately, when Alexandra came into his room with a sad look on her face he knew the truth. Rapunzel was kidnapped...again.
Rapunzel woke up in some shabby old cottage. She was lying and chained to a dusty old bed and the windows didn't emit a glimmer of the landscape outside because of all the dirt and grime caking them.
Try as she might the chains were too strong for her struggling. She could hear voices coming from a small opening at the door and familiar voices at that. She couldn't exactly tell the owner of the mumbled voices, but she could recognize one of the Stabbington Brothers at the small opening. They were discussing about some sort of payment for her capture and possible ransom. Unfortunately, she couldn't make out anything clinking of coins was blocking most of the sound.
"I have to find her," Eugene said determined as he mounted his white steed.
"At least let me come with you," Alexandra suggested.
"No," he said firmly, "losing one princess is already enough."
"Well at least take this," She reached inside the deep pocket of her dress, pulled out a small scroll and handed it to the brave hero. "It's a map of our kingdom," she explained.
Eugene smiled at his new princess friend as he took the scroll from her hand. Before heading off, Alexandra told him that her brother had already started searching a little while before he even heard the news.
"He probably heard her screaming," she thought aloud.
Eugene simply nodded at her theory as he set Maximus to a trot and sped through the palace gates, without another word. All he wanted was to see his girlfriend safe and sound and even though there were guards searching for her as well, he wanted to make sure himself.
Alexandra was never one to listen to orders no matter how much people implied them. So she mounted her golden mare and followed the former thief.
I know this a little short, but I asked for suggestions and I didn't get much.
I hope my next chapter gets your better attention.
