Four guards are leading a struggling Eugene and sounded very panicked. Like the panic you never thought he'd had. One where he was greatly worried for someone.

You ran up and almost said his real name, so you had to say the other, “Flynn!”

Eugene's scared eyes meet your concerned ones, “(____)! You have to help!” He groans when one of the guards shoves his head.

“Hey! Don't hurt him!” You stood in front of them and they glare. “Please, you have to let him go at least for awhile. I'll watch him.”

It was actually the one guard that hated you for some reason as he spoke, “We can not let you do that, Lady (____). This is very serious and he might try to kidnap you again.” They continued to walk and you followed.

“(____), you have to help her. Don't worry about me! They've got her, she's the lo-” Eugene is punched so he could be quiet.

One of the guards stop you, gently pulling you so the others take Eugene to the slammer. You felt a bit pathetic when you let him get dragged away. “Please tell me, he's just going to sit in prison?”

The guard sighs softly, “Until morning, yes. Lady (____) whatever you're going to do, be careful. Pete and Stan trust you, so will I and most of us guards. Though you should know we have to follow orders too.”

You teared, but held it back. They were going to execute Eugene tomorrow morning and Rapunzel’s in danger. You thank the guard, “Thank you. Tell Cass or the Queen that I'll be back late.”

You run toward the bridge and pant, wishing you had faster transportation. A panic neigh and heavy hooves stop in front of you. “Max!” He nods for you to get on and you climb on with difficulty. “To the Snuggly Duckling, we don't have much time!”

Max neighs, taking off fast and you held onto the reins tightly with your hair blowing back. Knowing the thugs, they were probably camping out near the Snuggly Duckling since they watch the lanterns too.

“The thug tried to run from the headless royal guard! It's glowing phantom eyes flickering like flames and the horse as white as marshmallows!” The thugs listen to Attila’s storytelling since it was his turn for a scary story. “He looked back and it was gone! Suddenly it was in front of him aaaaand-” Attila swishes his stick with roasted marshmallows, “-OFF WITH HIS HEAD!”

Just then, you and Max jumped over the bushes and Max neighed to get their attention. It didn't help that your glasses reflected a flaming glow from their campfire.

They all screamed and cling to each other. Ulf fainted and Shorty charges at you two, trying to bite on Max’s leg.

Max pushes him away and you hop down, “Guys! I need your help!”

At your tone of voice, Vladimir stood up and walked over, “(____). What's wrong?” By now all the thugs are serious.

“I need help breaking Flynn out of prison.”

They all glance between each other before grinning widely. “When do we start?”

You all set up a plan and tell everyone who will be where. “(____), make sure you stick close to Shorty and Attila.” Hook-Hand said.

You salute and by the time we all knew what to do, it was time to go for Eugene as you take an iron pan. All of you stealthily sneak in and you got the liberty to place a ceramic unicorn in the hallway the Captain will take Eugene down.
