I am sorry for the long wait. I feel so bad, but I was studying for my AP test and now that is over... I have a research paper to do -.- *Sigh* Let me just say, you are all awesome for favoriting, following, and reviewing this story. The last chapter probably provided me with my best feedback within a day of the first chapter. Tangled fiction readers, you rock! :D So I was hoping this chapter would be longer, but it isn't. This should be the last short chapter. I know that is what I said last time, but I feel that these two first short chapters are necessary to set up the plot of where this is going. So again, sorry for this extremely short chapter. I hope it was worth it :\ Anyways Enjoy! As Always -Greengirl16

A small sliver of light shone through the barred windows of the second story cabin. The front door opened and slammed shut.

She was home.

"Here's some food," the harsh voice said. A metal tray slide across the cold damp floor and hit Rapunzel's knee. She was chained to the wall. There was a loaf of stale bread and a trickle of water in a tin can set on the tray.

Rapunzel wasn't hungry. She stared at the food wondering that if she starved herself she would escape her prison. "Don't think that way," she scolded herself. Eugene was safe, that is all that mattered. He was alive and safe. Even if she never got to see him again, she took comfort in knowing that he was out there somewhere.

When Rapunzel had discovered she was the lost princess and tried to escape, Eugene had come to her rescue, but Gothel had stabbed him. Luckily, Rapunzel made a deal: she could save Eugene if she promised to stay with Gothel forever. Her magic hair healed Eugene and she left somewhat willingly with Gothel. Rapunzel's only regret was that she never got to say a proper goodbye.

She was now locked in some cabin within a deep dark forest on the outskirts of some neighboring kingdom. No one would find them. Ever. Just like Gothel wanted.

"I'll be back. You know the deal," the harsh voice said.

Rapunzel did know the deal. She couldn't run, no matter how much she wanted to. Rapunzel knew how manipulative and conniving Gothel was and didn't doubt that if she tried to leave, Gothel would find her or Eugene and kill him. Rapunzel hoped he wasn't looking for her, which wasn't probable.

The door slammed shut, leaving Rapunzel in silence.

Time passed, but Rapunzel couldn't tell how much because her room… or cell didn't allow much light in. She counted the water drips that feel from the damp ceiling to pass time.

Suddenly, Rapunzel heard movement by the window. "Who's there?" she called. Was she just imagining the noise in her delirium?

A small chameleon scampered down the window sill and across the floor to her side.

"Pascal!" Rapunzel cried. "How did you find me?"

The chameleon squeaked.

"Oh Pascal," Rapunzel sighed. Her green friend climbed up her arm and snuggled on her shoulder. "I missed you too."
