POV Jack

Thump.

Thump.

THU-THUMP.

My head feels sour and I feel sick. I feel my heartbeat pounding inside of my head. My insides feel like twisting and I struggle to keep myself together. My eyesight is blurry when I open my eyes, slowly I see the figures around me better. I am back in the isolation room where I first woke up in North Pole.

When I tried to stand my knees gave in which caused me to fall on the ground. “W-what is going on?” I whispered when I felt powerless. All strength had vanished from me while I layed on the hard bed unconscious. I try to remember what happened.

I look to my right and my neck is hurting me, I touch the spot and it aches. I look towards the wall that is a full mirror, from my reflection I see a bruise on my neck. It was from needle sting. Images rush into my mind, Guardians telling me that I am not allowed to go, how they kept me here by force and even drugged me. No wonder that I am not feeling so good.

Something leaded to that situation but what was it? The thumping sensation on my head got worse but I still try to figure out the reasons. I close my eyes and I am remembering something, a pair of stunning blue eyes that you could dive into like in the purest lagoon. My body shivers from the pain while I try to remember. It started with an ‘E’? I think.

“E.T?” I whispered and shook my head, no. It was not that. “Edna?” I sighed, nope.. Not Edna which is actually a volcano. I tap the floor with my fingers. “E…El.. Ella? No.. Esme? No.. It is a name for sure,” I wondered in my thoughts. I close my eyes and I lean my chin on my hand. “El.. Els..Elsa,” I open my eyes and I gasp. “Elsa!” I stuff my hand to my hoodie’s pocket and I feel a piece of paper. My hands shiver when I take it out, unfolding it carefully.

Yeah it was her who I wanted to remember. It was merely a photo edit but I met her before at the hospital. She seemed to recognize me but I didn’t take it like reality back then. I thought that she mistaken me for someone else because.. s-she tried to kiss me. My cheeks feel hot now and I see from my reflection that my face is in the shade of faint pink. I slap my cheeks couple of times and say to myself, “No Jack, no time for daydreaming!”

Now I remember her, I wanted to find her. I will find her. After turning around I gazed on the door, I must get out from here. I inhaled deeply and I ran. I ran and hit the door with my shoulder. Then again. And again.

”Just. Freaking. OPEN!” I yelled when I ran on the door three more times. No use, I frowned while watching at the door. “You piece of crap!” I yelled again and I kicked on it.

Squeek!

I saw how the door finally gave in, it fell to ground. The hinges broke, hah. I step outside from the room and I look around. No sign of the guardians, now is my chance to run away. I sneak on the corridors, avoiding especially North’s number one worker, Phil.

Crap, some conversation. I press my body tightly against the wall, I hear footsteps. The Guardians are walking towards me and my palms are getting sweaty. I sure hope that they won’t find me. I sighed deeply when they passed me. I sneaked to the direction where they came.

I saw my equipment on a desk, Jim was sleeping on the ground and hat a rag covering his face. I must act as silent as possible. I look around me and I see no one else besides of him. Slowly I crawl to the desk and then I stood up. “Oh yeah!” I exhaled when my fingers touched my sniper rifle and my staff. Woops, I must not get too excited or Jim might wake up, he just snorted.

I threw the rifle on my shoulder and then I took a belt that held a hunting knife. I clipped it on my waist and then I tied my staff to my back also. Now I only need the transportation to get the hell away from here. I sneaked my way in to the hall that would lead outside. There were cars and a helicopter. They sure had some neat looking stuff, I thought to myself when my hand slide on red car’s surface.

Then I saw it. It was a motorbike in deep shade of blue. I smirked and I walked to it, I sat on the saddle and took the helmet from hanging. I placed it on my head and clipped it tight under my chin. I walked the motorbike to the door that would lead outside. I pushed it open and then I sat on the bike again.

Slowly I turned the key on the lock. Handy since they had left the key on it. I press some gas on it by twisting my wrist and the motor runs now in loud noise. I glance over my shoulder and I see Jim running towards me, waving his hands. Too bad for him that I am not letting anyone stop me this time.

I speed up and drive away from the Pole. I drive as fast as I can, towards Atlanctica where I saw her last time. She might know something, she has to. When I was almost there I drive on the side of the road.

When I lifted off from the saddle I kneeled on ground and took out some stuff that I also grabbed with me from Jim’s desk. Some ice bombs that he had been creating and a device. The device was meant to find people who are still alive and not turned to zombies. She has to be alive.

I turned the device on and I immediately noticed few dots blinking on the black background. There are people. Now I startled when I had to sink my hunting knife on one of the zombies head when it tried to approach me. Even if I cannot have the virus anymore it is possible that those things could kill me, eat me alive.

“Time to go,” I said aloud in a whisper. I run towards the dots that beep on the tracking device, they are moving inside the forest. When I hear their voices I slow my speed, carefully tiptoeing closer. I hid myself behind of a tree. I glance towards the source of the voices and I see how someone is being beaten. There is an opening in the middle of forest where it seems to be a caravan area. Someone is screaming and running outside from a mobile home. I narrow my eyes to see better. S-she has platinum blonde hair. It is her, I found her. Whoa, calling that being lucky. Maybe I should try the lottery? I blink my eyes in misbelieve when the man who just was beating a guy is now threatening her.

When I was about to go and smack that bastard so his teeth would fall down something grabbed my shoulder. I look to my left and I startle. A groaning, moaning blood dripping zombie is holding me back. “Oh shut up, they might hear you,” I whisper and roll my eyes to the zombie before I swiftly kick it with my leg, causing it to fall down. I take my knife from my waist belt and I stab the zombie to its head. I turn around and I see how the man locks the mobile home’s door. The guy that he beat is now laying on the ground while there are dozens of angry looking dogs growling at the sight. Weird.

Some steps sounded from nearby. I hid myself better and I stayed, someone was begging. I see that it is Elsa, she is being leaded to forest by another man and there is a dog. My heart is beating faster, I have a bad feeling. I follow them until they stand still. The man that she calls Eret throws her to ground against the tree and after he tied her to it he walks away, I felt so angry now. When I was about to go and teach that guy a lesson how to treat women I stopped. I heard loud growling and Elsa’s pleads. I turn around quickly and I see how the dog is threatening her. It attacks and my hands shake when I reach to my rifle. Shooting, that might be in time.

The pipe of the sniper rifle is waving when my hands shake. “Calm down,” I exhale when I lay down on the ground over fifty feet away. I aim and I see how she kicks the dog further away. “Aim and fire, aim and fire. Calm down Jack,” I said again. Then I closed my eyes for a second and exhaled, holding my breath. I pulled the trigger.

POW.

The bullet makes its way through air, towards the target. SNAP. It pierced the dogs skull. I feel relief that is making my body feel a little numb now. I leave the rifle to ground when I ran towards the tree where Eret had tied her down and I take out my knife. Carefully I cut the ropes through and free her.

She is in shock in the ground, I offer her my hand and she stares at it. “Trust me,” I whisper and I feel her hand taking a hold of mine. Her eyes are watering when she looks at me. “I am so happy that I made it in time,” I exhaled and she started to sob loudly. She literally jumped on my neck, wrapping her arms around me. I embrace her, “Hey, you’re safe now.”

“Jack,” she whispered which startled me. “Yeah?” I lifted her chin and I smiled to her. Then a voice filled my mind, it was like an echo ‘I love you too Jack.’ The voice sounded like her but she didn’t say it now. It was like a.. like a memory? “Are you Jack F-Frost?” She cried and I nodded. She smiled between her cries, ”Are you like an angel or something?” Her words made me laugh, “No! Geez, do I look like an angel to you?”

Elsa chuckled, “No.” Her presence makes me feel warm inside, “I love you.” Those words escaped me as a whisper and I feel shocked. “What happened to you Jack?” She lets go of me. “I..I..” I stare at her, “I think that I turned, then some people called Guardians used some test antidote on me. It was the first time it worked but.. there was a minor adverse effect. I lost my memory,” I rubbed my neck.

“Oh,” she exhaled. “S-so, how do we know each other?” I look at her, see how she moves restlessly and is holding her arm. My eyes widen, she is hurt. “Let me,” I said to her when I ripped a piece from my t-shirt that was under my hoodie. I wrapped it on her arm, stopping the bleeding. “I love you too Jack,” she whispered and blushed. “Y-you heard what I said?” I gasped and she nodded.

My head started to ache and I fell to ground. “What is wrong!” She kneeled next to me. ”I don’t know,” I was panting. “This just happens when I think of you,” I look at her and my head is killing me. Her hand touches my shoulder and I remember something. “H-have I saved you?” I look at her and she seems puzzled, “Yeah you just did.” I shook my head, “No, I meant before. In some sort skating place?” My cheeks feel warm and I see how she blushes, “You did.”

She hugs me, wrapping arms around my shoulders and her cheek is against mine. “I think you’re remembering stuff,” she whispers. “You do?”  I gasped and I felt her lips touching my cheek. “W-were we close?” I exhaled and she squeezed me tighter. “If being in love is what you call being close.. then yes,” I smile when I watch her into eyes after she told me that.

Suddenly she gasps, “Our friends are in trouble! We need to help them!” She stood up and I stare at her. Her expression is suddenly so brave and certain. “Alright, let’s get going then,” I took support from my knee when I stood up. My heart fluttered when her hand took a held from my hand. Before we made our way towards the caravan area I grab my rifle with me. We ran and I look at her, how her platinum hair is moving in the pace of her running. Her eyes are narrowed while she is being determined, yet she is fragile but also so strong. I chuckle to my thoughts, she sure is something.

POV Merida

My hands are searching in the darkness, trying to find any sort of way out from this freaking mobile home. I hate being captive. A voice speaks from faraway corner, “There is no use, I tried already.” Someone walks towards us.

She throws her dark brown long hair away from her face, she moves her hips a lot while she walks. “Hello, name is Megara but you can call me Meg,” she crosses her arms. “Alright Meg, how did you end up here?” Al asks from her and Punzie agrees with him. “I refused to bring him more dogs,” Meg shrugs her shoulders.

“I have an idea!” Flynn exhaled and we all watch him. “Oh, wait.. I forgot it already,” Flynn exclaims. I sigh and I try to stare outside from the narrow gap from the door. I see Hiccup laying on the ground unconscious and my heart aches. He needs our help.

”Oh, now I remember!” Flynn says happily and we all glare at him. “Time to awaken the genie,” Flynn smirks and taps Al’s shoulder. “What?” Al smiles to Flynn who winks his eyes. Punzie covered her eyes when Flynn smacked his fist on Al’s face. “Ouch!” Flynn said when he waved his fist in the air after the hit, “That hurt!” My eyes widen when I see Al falling to ground. “What are you doing!” I gasped.

“Just look, just look,” Flynn crossed his arms. We all stared at Al. Suddenly he jumped up. “Hello ladies and gentlemen,” Al said while bowing to each and every one of us. His nose was bleeding. “Um, hi?” Punzie exhaled. ”What wishes would you like me to grant?” Al laughed hard and I glanced at Flynn. “Just say that you wan’t to get out. He gets away from his genie state of mind after getting three wishes,” Flynn winked his eye. “I want to get out from here?” I whispered while being uncertain. “Is that your wish?” Al smirked and I nodded.

“It shall be done,” Al exclaimed and slapped his hands together which startled me. He spit on his hands and rubbed them together. He ran forward and for my shock there was now an opening in the wall. He just run through the freaking wall. Whoa, I mean it was rusty but..

We all went outside and suddenly there were some dogs surrounding us. “I wish these dogs to go away!” I gasped and Al nodded. Did he just wave his butt in front of the dogs? “Told you that his genie side is a bit crazy?” Flynn laughed nervously when we watched Al running in circles while a pack of dogs followed him, he distracted them. “You don’t say?” I said simply.

We sneaked from the back of the mobile home. I glanced over the corner and saw Hiccup being on the ground still. Gladly Drago wasn’t in there now. Slowly I sneaked forward with Punzie and Flynn, Meg was just walking without a trace of worry in her.

Now  I saw Drago, he was beating a dog with a bone that he stole from it. I really hate him. Flynn just freed Toothless from the cage and immediately Toothless went to lick Hiccups face. Slowly Hiccup came into his senses, “H-hey Buddy! Stop it!” Hiccup laughed. He was beaten but alive, thank god.

I helped Hiccup up and then Al ran in front of us. “Yahooo!” Al screamed and I did a facepalm. “Nice, now they heard us,” I sighed and the growling started. Drago was approaching us with his dogs. “Run!” Punzie yelled and we all ran towards the forest.

The tree branches hit us, sometimes cutting inside our skin. We had to ran as fast as we can, the dogs were chasing us. “Psst! In here!” Someone waved from a hut. We went inside. ”Mulan!” Punzie squealed and I truly saw her. “I decided to leave Tiana’s place.  You’re already in trouble it seems,” she said when she closed the door. Before that she threw something to outside. “That was a smell bomb, they won’t be able to trace you here. What is his problem?” Mulan stared at Al who was grinning oddly. “I wish you to be normal,” I rolled my eyes to Al who finally turned back to his normal self. “You’re good making the wishes,” Flynn slapped my back. “Uh, thanks,” I said when I helped Hiccup to bed.

“Hey Mulan, long time no see,” Meg smiled to Mulan. “Hi!” Mulan chuckled. ”You two know each other?” Punzie stared at them and they nodded, “Yes, we wen’t to same school back in the day.” That makes sense. I tried to stood up but I feel a hand keeping me down. “Listen, umm.. thanks,” Hiccup smiles to me. ”No problem real--,” he pulled me close and kissed me. He kissed me. Oh my god.

Why am I not retreating? What am I doing? Help! Ah, t-this feels good actually. My widened eyes relax and slowly close, I exhale letting out a muffled sound of ‘mmmh’. When we stop I nervously try to get my hair away from my face, “I.. I was worried about you.” I said while my cheeks were gathering some deep shade of red. “You were?” Hiccup chuckled. ”Y-yeah,” I managed to say. My heart was fluttering but.. oh, I shouldn’t feel like this! Should I?

Toothless licked my hand and frowned. He was right, I can feel like this. I kissed Hiccups cheek before I left him. He seemed stunned, hah! Serves him right for stealing kisses from a lady. “What!” I snapped to everyone else who seemed to have been staring at us. “Nothing,” they all said in unison and started to do various stuff. Punzie was petting her new lizard friend Pascal that travels on her jacket’s pocket. Flynn pretended to have a conversation with Al who still was confused about the fact how he ended up in here. Mulan and Meg were only ones actually having a conversation when they met after a long time. I glance at Hiccup who winks his eye to me, I turn around quickly and shake my head. I cannot let some feelings get over me! I rub my warm cheeks and try to make the tingly sensation go away.

“W-where is Elsa?” Hiccup suddenly asks. Oh, yeah.. She isn’t here with us, my heart is feeling like it is being crushed. “We don’t know,” I whisper sadly. “They took her,” Punzie gasps and I see how Al is nodding with Flynn. “Oh no,” Hiccup exhales. “What is it?” I ask from him and my hand touches his.

Hiccup swallows loudly, ”I-if they took her, it only means.” He was panting and I could sense the change in atmosphere. “S-something bad?” I stare at Hiccup who slowly nods, all color escapes from his face. “Death by dogs,” his voice breaks down. I feel exhausted suddenly and I fell to sit next to him. Punzie is crying and Flynn embraces her. Everyone is in deep shock state of a mind. I am not crying, I never cry.. I never cry..

Tears run on my cheek and I sob silently. Hiccup wraps his arms around me and presses my head against his chest. Without saying a word he comforts me, gently petting my head. We lost another friend.
