20 The Hospital
POV Jack
No memories back still. I woke up in my bed bunk. I couldn’t sleep well since Kangaroo, I mean Bunny, was snoring on the top bunk whole night. He is Australian and that really confuses me, why does he want to be called Bunny when in his country there are Kangaroos? They even have the handy stomach pouches for their babies. Humm.. Maybe that is why he wants to be Bunny? But bunnies are not that manly either, he must have some personality problems.
Toothiana promised to chat with me today. She had done some research with her computer that probably was one of the few that still worked after everything in the USA had changed after the apocalypse started. I walk on the corridors and I try avoid North’s workers, especially the guy named Phil who dislikes me. I see that Sandy and Tooth are already eating their breakfast. I wave my hand to them and Tooth smiles to me, “You woke up finally!” I laughed, “It is 6am and I woke up just one hour later than you.”
Tooth laughed nervously, “Yeah, I am an early bird.” Sandy smiled and nodded his head in approval. I joined them to eat some military breakfast from a tube, I squeezed some of the sticky substance in my mouth. It didn’t taste good but it would keep my body moving.
After the breakfast we went to Tooth’s room that she shared with Jasmine. They were girls so it figures out. “So, what did you find out?” I asked from her and suddenly she pushed me to sit in front of her desk. She sat on my lap and stared at me, she opened my mouth with her fingers. “I really like your teeth, Jack Overland Frost,” she chirped to me. “W-what?” I tried to push her away put she wrapped her arms around me. “You’re a parkourer from Burgess, your parents are deceased and your sister lives abroad,” Tooth stared me into my eyes. “You had some minor things in your criminal records and that is all I could find out,” she smiles to me.
“Did you find out anything else?” I look at Tooth who giggles, her eyes close slightly and I notice how her arms go around my neck. “You have perfect dental records,” her hand goes to my hair and she leans forward. “H-hey, what are you doing?” I gasped as her face was getting closer to mine. I closed my eyes and then I felt something against my lips. And my cheeks?
A girl screamed, “Toothiana! What are you doing?” It was Jasmine and her hand was between me and Tooth. Did she just try to kiss me? “Sorry about that Jack, she gets all wild when she sees perfect set of teeth,” Jasmine said while pulling frustrated sounds making Tooth away from me. My legs were numb after Tooth had been sitting on my lap. “Geez! You’re even older than him!” Jasmine rolled her eyes, ”And you’re together with Bunny!” Tooth blushed, ”Y-yeah. Sorry about previous Jack!”
Jasmine took my hand and leaded me to her laboratory. “How have you been feeling?” She said while she pointed my eyes with a tiny flashlight. “Great,” I chuckled and she smiled. “Good. Let me take your body temperature and blood sample,” she stuffed a thermometer on my armpit and hit me with a needle. “Ouch! Be careful!” I gasped. The thermometer beeped and she took it out, ”Interesting, your body is much cooler than normal people. I would say that you’re almost like dead. I will test your blood also but it will take hours,” she glanced at me. “But now take your hoodie off and I will take your blood pressure,” she smiled in a calming way and I did what I was told.
“You’re blood pressure is however normal and your heart is beating. Interesting,” Jasmine rubbed her chin. Then she started to pace around the room in her thoughts. “Something wrong?” I asked from her. She sighed, ”I need some more blood samples, not from you but some that are not contaminated but pure from time before the virus spread. And some from those people who had been infected just moments after they got the virus.” I look at her and her desperate expression, she is brushing her black and long hair with her both hands. “Why don’t you just get some?” I chuckled.
Jasmine’s eyes brightened, “Yeah! I know, you could get it from Atlantica. There is a hospital near the city. It would be a great test for you after your training and we would see how you fit in the Guardian group.” My jaw dropped, “Isn’t that a bit far away?” She shook her head, “We have the helicopter and I really need the samples.” I sighed, “Fine then.”
Other Guardians joined me when we prepared for the mission. Jim tied the anti gravitation device on me before I went inside the helicopter. I place the sniper rifle better on my back and I clutch my staff on my hands. For someone else it might be a scythe of some type but I like it better to be called a staff. North is polishing his shotgun after he had done the same to his swords.
It was late afternoon when we reached the surroundings of the hospital, we jumped down using ropes. “Everyone scatter around!” North told us. Our plan was to spread out and sneak our way in the hospital and to avoid enemy contact as much as possible. North stayed with Bunny, they stayed behind to keep our helicopter pick up place safe. My job was to make my way in from the west and Tooth took the east route.
I moved in silence, my riffle was only for emergencies and silent weapons was the thing we should use. I had to go through a storage unit sight to get closer to hospital of Atlantica. I ran on some dumpsters that I used to climb up on the rooftops. My running made the rooftop bend beneath me since it was some thin metal roof that made loud noises. Some zombies were following me in the ground at my left but they couldn’t reach me, I laughed to those bastards.
POV Elsa
We are almost at Atlantica. We’ve traveled through forest for some time now, it has been really tiring. “Wait!” I heard Punzie yelling. She had been traveling behind of me, Al and Flynn. Punzie was taking care of Hiccup with Merida. Toothless was licking Hiccups hand when they let him sit on the ground. “What is wrong?” I asked from them. ”He is feverish and I think that antibiotics is something we need or peniccilin,” Punzie said in worried way. “I am fine!” Hiccup said when he stood up but he fell back to his knees.
“There is a hospital nearby,” Al told us. “It is just behind of that forest if we head straight, my girlfriend Jas used to work there,” he smiled. “Let’s go there then!” I told Punzie but she shook her head, “He is too weak. Someone has to get us the medicine.” Merida stepped forward, “I will go, Punzie needs to stay with him.”
I sighed, “I will come with you Merida.” Then Al and Flynn would have wanted to come. “You need to stay here, Hiccup needs two people to carry him if there is a threat in here,” Merida said calmly. So, it was just the two of us going to unfamiliar hospital in the middle of zombie apocalypse. How lovely.
We walked in silence and we save a storage unit area. “What is that?” Merida whispered. We heard some groaning of the zombies but before that there was a sound of running, like on the metallic rooftop. We look up and see how someone jumps down to other side of a storage unit. I look at Merida and we nod to each other. We ran to other side and I see someone doing experienced battle moves. He does couple of swings and laughs when he had sliced four zombie heads off, they roll on the ground. The figure of that man is in the shadows of the storage units, he has his back turned on us. My heart beats fast when I watch him, he didn’t see us. He is walking forward and then running, “Shoot him.” I whisper to Merida.
“W-what?” Merida exhales, she was as stunned as I was from the sight. “Shoot him against the wall with your crossbow, trap him,” I whispered and Merida took out her crossbow. Aiming towards him carefully. She shot and the bolt swiped through the air and directly at the man. “What the hell!” The man yelled when the bolt pierced his upper clothing and made him stuck against the nearby wall.
“Oh crap,” Merida exhaled. The yell had caught attention of the zombies. I started to run towards the figure, tears filled my eyes as my heart was pounding. “Don’t go! It is too dangerous!” Merida yelled to me as I ran in the middle of the storage units where he was. I glanced over my shoulder and saw how zombies came between Merida and me. “I will get help!” She yelled when she left, she was almost like hesitating.
The man pulled the bolt from the wall and he turned around. He was wearing a blue hoodie and short brownish pants, he held a staff in front of him. “I will slice your head off if you try anything,” he hissed. I stop my running just few feet away from him. I held my hands together and I lift them in front of my face. My breathing is shallow as I watch him. He has white overlong hair that was wind wisped, cyan blue eyes with brilliance in them while he looks threatening.
I take a couple of slow steps towards him. “You’re not one of those things?” He whispers and he points at the groaning zombies that are approaching us. I shook my head when I stay silent. He looks so much like him but his appearance is different. The hair, eyes and even the skin is paler.
His eyes widen and he runs to me, he pulls me against him from my shoulder. I look to my left and I see how he just beheaded a zombie that was close to me, too close. “Crap I am too nice,” he whispered when his hand went to his waist. He pressed a button and lifted me up to his arms. “What are you doing?” I gasped. ”Saving your ass, ” he said and cocked his eyebrow. I wrapped my hands around his neck and he chuckled. “Hold on tight,” he laughed when he started to run. Then he jumped.
We raise high in the air and I saw how we were landing on top of a storage unit. He pressed the button again and we were falling. He turned us around and pressed my head against his chest. The impact made him grunt when he hit the rooftop his back first. I was on top of him and I saw his eyes closed, suddenly he opened his other eye. “You alright miss?” I nodded.
“Aren’t you a talker!” He laughed when he started to sit, quickly I stood up while my cheeks blushed. He stood up also and picked up his staff and a rifle. He startled when I went close to him. “W-why?” He exhaled when my hand touched his cheek. It felt cool but a shade of red colored his pale cheeks now.
I watched his deep blue eyes, “Is it you?” I whispered and I felt how he was holding his breath. He dropped his equipment when I hugged him, “I need it to be you, please.” I begged from him and now when I looked him to his eyes once again I saw him. I saw Jack Frost in this man even though when this man didn’t have the brown hair and eyes. I leaned forward and I felt how he exhaled once. I closed my eyes and kissed him.
What? My eyes flash open and I notice that I am kissing his hand. He laughs,” What are you doing?” The smirk he is doing is killing my heart with thousand stabbing needles. “S-sorry, I might have mistaken with the person,” I hide my face in my hands. He lifts my chin up, “Someone you loved?” He smiles warmly and I nod while I try to swallow the lump from my throat. He chuckles, “Yea, sorry about that. Kissing me isn’t safe,” he pats my cheek. He looks towards the hospital.
”You’re going there?” I look at him and he turns around. The smile on his face is wide, “Totally am!” I smile back at him, “Can I come with you? A friend of mine would need some medicine.” He looks a bit confused but then agreed.
He leaded me through the storage area and inside the hospital. The white corridors were silent, only ripped patient papers were scattered on the floors. Some blood spills here and there. The guy pointed towards a door that was blocked with chairs, “I think that it won’t be a safe route.” I nodded my agreement. He walked forward and gently pushed a door open. “Here,” he whispered when we entered to drug storage. He threw me a bag which I filled with everything I could possibly imagine we needing.
The guy with white hair was moving restlessly at the door. “Where to now?” I whispered and he nodded towards the door at the front of us. “I need some samples,” he said when he pushed a laboratory door open. He opened a fridge and took some sample jars containing blood and also blood transfer bags. “Why do you need that?” I exhaled when I watched him stuffing those in his bag. “I know a doctor,” he says shortly.
Suddenly something clattered on the floor. It sounded like something metallic had fallen on the ground. I look terrified at him. “There is something behind of me, right?” He whispered and then the zombie I saw grabbed him. He took its arm and threw the thing in front of him. “You know karate?” I exhaled when he ran towards me. He took our bags and then a hold from my wrist. ”Yea I do but we seriously need to leave!” He yelled when banging was getting louder from other laboratory room. The zombies tried to get in from that route.
He threw a soda machine on the ground and some cans were now rolling on the floor. “Run!” He yelled to me and I turned my face back towards the direction where we were running. However I managed to see how one zombie stumbled on a soda can which made it fall down and the soda splashed on the walls.
We went off from the backdoor and we slammed the door shut. We were both leaning against the wall next to each other and panting hard. We glanced at each other and we both laughed from relief. “That was tight, huh?” He chuckled and I nodded. ”It sure was,” I smiled to him.
Next we walked towards the nearby forest in silence. “Hey, I will go on my way now,” he whispered when we arrived to the edge of the forest. “Thank you for your help,” I whispered to him. I actually had fun with this guy, after a time that felt like ages after I lost Jack. “My name is Elsa and I am truly grateful,” I courted him and he laughed nervously while he rubbed his neck.
He waved his hand to me, “Must get going now, my lift must be waiting already.” He ran forward but then I saw him turning around after few feet. He yelled to me, “Name is Jack by the way!” After saying that to me, he turned around and ran fast. My heart had just dropped and I stared after him, my mouth opened slightly. Could he be? No? Yes? ”JACK!” I screamed after him but it was too late, he couldn’t hear me.
I felt dizzy when I made my way back to others. Soon I saw a familiar redhead throwing a crossbow over her shoulder and running towards me. “I was so afraid that you wouldn’t make it!” She hugged me tightly. I gave her the bag. She squealed happily, ”Now Hiccup will be alright! Oh, where is the guy from before?” I shook my head and she nodded. I can’t tell her or she might think that I am crazy. Jack died on that day and that was it. This is a mere coincidence, I tried to convince myself.
