24 The Mansion of Broken Dreams
POV Anna
We are enjoying the warmth of a fire place. Adam’s house is big and cold but in the living room it is nice and cozy. “Would you guys want something to drink? I mean it would be our pleasure since you helped us out in the grocery store?” Belle smiles to us. “Of course!” Marc yells and continues sharpening his set of kitchen knives. He says that they will get rusty from the blood stains if he doesn’t maintain them. We all should maintain our weapons as he told us.
“Just a second and I will fetch you some soda,” Belle waves us. “Can I come with you?” I quickly run after her. “Sure,” She smiles and shrugs her shoulders. We walk to the kitchen and she opens a door. “Oh! This place has a vine basement!” I exhaled in awe. ”Yes, it is nice to have since electricity is out. It keeps things cool,” she walked on the faraway corner of the basement and I heard the sound that glass bottles do when they hit each other. “Here,” she handed me a basket full of soda’s. “Oh, there is strawberry soda! My favorite,” I squealed happily and she chuckled.
We handed everyone drinks and just sat there. “Do you think that the world will be the same after everything is over?” Alexa sighed and took a sip of her drink. I stare at the fire and think of Elsa, actually I hope that things will be better after this, she speaks to me so rarely so maybe we will be closer after this? “Sure, why not?” Peter chuckled. ”If civilizations were created in the first place people can rebuild them,” Johnny said happily and was working with fixing his radio.
“Can I sit here?” I look up and I see Kristoff, I nod to him and make some room to him to sit. He sits down and lost his balance for a moment, his body slightly goes over me and we both laugh. Johnny and Mavis give each other a remarking glare. Kristoff leans his arms on couch back support and my cheeks blush. Slowly I crawl my way closer to him. He blushes hard when I rest my head on his shoulder but I feel how his left hand goes over my left shoulder. Alexa grins widely and does a winning gesture.
Bang. Bang. BANG!
”I.. I .. I think that someone or something is at the door,” Belle whispers and grabs on Adam’s hand.
Bang. Bang.
“Let us in, please!” It is a girl screaming. We all look at each other. Slowly we walk towards the front door, and the banging and begging gets louder. Adam quickly takes the chairs and drawers away from the door and opens it. A group of people and a dog burst inside and Alexa shoots one zombie out, it tried to sneak in after them.
“God, I thought that we were goners!” A guy sighs in relief. “Hiccup!” Marc yells and runs to hug the guy. I look everyone of them. There are four girls and three guys, apparently one of them is Hiccup. The one with fake leg. I see how a black dog licks Marc's hand and he pets the dog at the same time when he laughs with Hiccup happily. Seems like they know each other.
“Whoa! Never has a job been this easy!” Peter yells in excitement. ”What do you mean?” I ask from him and he points at the redheaded girl, “Merida of DunBroch just ran from front door!” Pocahontas is playing with her hunter knife, “I see that we don’t need my tracking skills anymore since the prey has come here.” Everyone stares at her, did she just speak of them as a prey?
Peter laughs nervously, “Sorry, if she is tracking she needs to be focused on her ‘prey’ as she calls it.” Pocahontas takes out her bag and opens the backdoor. “Maybe we will meet again,” she smiles and runs outside. “D-did she just leave?” Belle gasps and Peter nods, “Yeah. She goes her own way and has expert skills on surviving.”
“So, if we were looking these people.. Where is Elsa, m-my sister?” I look at the gang. The blonde haired girl cries, “S-she didn’t make it. We lost h-her few hours ago.” The guy with some beard on his face embraced the girl. I started to panic, “N-no! Not Elsa no!” Kristoff came to give me a hug. ”I am sorry Anna. Just don’t give up, your sister would not want that, huh?” He petted my head when I cried.
I pushed him away and fell to ground. “W-we are sorry,” the blonde girl touched my shoulder and hugged me, soon I noticed that each one of them did the same. “I didn’t know her for that long but she was a nice person,” Alice whispers. “Nice to see you guys well anyway,” she looks at the gang that had arrived.
We all remain silent that night. Speechless. I was happy that Merida was found, she seemed like a nice girl but loosing Elsa was my worst nightmare.
POV Elsa
I squeeze Jack’s hand hard when we run. I never want to let go of him, never again. I see the caravans and I made him to stop. “They’re somewhere in here but.. why is it so quiet?” I whisper to him and he walks closer. He is scanning the area with his eyes. “Seems abandoned,” He says and walks in the middle.
A single aggressive dog runs towards him and he reaches his back, taking out his staff. With one clean swift he slashed the dog dead with the blade of his staff. “Hey!” He yells and I flinch. ”Hush! They might hear us!” I say to him. ”That was the point,” he exclaimed and started to research the mobile homes. “No sign of anyone, I think that they runaway,” he points at the caravan that was all rusty. I remember how Drago made us go there so we would be trapped there.
I gasp when I see a man shaped opening on the wall. Jack laughs, “Seems like someone was in a hurry to get out.” I swallow loudly, I am still feeling worried. Jack looks at me and then he comes to me and wraps his arm around me, “Cheer up sapphire eye, your eyes are changing to red.” He lets a sly smirk sneak to his face and I push him.
“Yea, yea! Where on earth were you anyway!” I snap at him. He wasn’t with us for a long time and finally he showed up. “I already told you. I was sort of kidnapped after I changed to a zombie. I was treated and I got lucky since the antidote worked on me, I was the first one,” he shrugged his shoulders and I glare at him, slowly my gaze drifts to stare at his lips.
I feel the urge to kiss him but.. “Why can’t I kiss you! What is so dangerous! Do you have herpes or something!” I yell to him while feeling desperate. He startled and his mouth slightly opened from the surprise. “W-well,” he rubbed his neck. “Jas said that I might pass the virus to other people with..umm..” Jack blushed. “With what?” I sighed. ”B-body fluids,” he turned his head to other direction and he was now bright red.
My hand goes to his cheek and pets it, slowly I turn his head to look at me. “If that is the case,” I whisper and my lips press against his cheek. “I will find other places to kiss,” I smile to him and he lost his balance for a second. Then he laughed and embraced me, “Oh, Elsa.. I am sorry for being away. I forgot everything but I think that I am slowly remembering. You were brave when you came for me when I was in trouble at the stadium,” he whispers to my ear and causes my body to shiver. I take a hold from his hand and I drag him to one of the mobile homes.
“W-why are we going in here?” He exhales and looks around him. This mobile home looks neat enough. I walk closer to him and he backs up, his feet bump into the bed and he looks over his shoulder to see what was in his way. A sly smirk comes to my face when our eyes meet, I push him down with my right hand.
He is breathing shallow, “H-hey.” I am kissing his neck and he quivers , I sat on his chest and I look at him. His cyan blue eyes are slowly moving down on my body, looking every inch. “You s-should stop,” he whispers and I take his hands, place them on my hips. “Stop what?” I lean closer to him and whisper to his ear. I feel how he tightens his grip on my hips and how his hands move to my waist. His lips feel cold when he kisses my neck.
“We found him!” Someone yells from the door and before I could runaway someone grabs me from my wrists. He was a tall looking man and he had enormous boomerang tied to his back. He pulled me away from Jack who is still panting on the bed, he is looking at me with a slight shade of pink on his cheeks. Now I realize how my cheeks feel like they are burning up, actually my whole body feels like burning up.
Jack sits and stares at the man, I try to struggle myself free. “Help me!” I beg from Jack. He smirks, “What are you doing Bunny?” I see how he looks at the man who is holding me still. “Wasn’t she attacking you mate?” Bunny glares at him. ”No, I think I am dating her. Sort of,” Jack stood up and took support from his staff. It was almost if his legs were turned into jelly. I felt a bit honored by the reaction I caused on him.
“Where is he!” A girl rushed inside and looked at Jack. “Never runaway like that again!” The girl jumped on Jack’s neck. Jack patted her back. “Nice to see your reunion but would you please let me go?” Jack chuckled, “So Bunny.. Let her go.” Bunny let me free and I rub my wrists. He had a tight grip.
I ran to hug Jack, he wrapped his arm around me in a comforting way. “You should know Jack--,” Bunny spoke and sighed, “—that fooling around with this girl might be dangerous to her.” Jack looked at me and I felt how he squeezed my arm, pressing me against him. “I will protect her with my life,” he said simply but with determination. I look at him and his expression softens when he looks at me.
“My name is Tooth,” the girl offers her hand to me and I shake it. “I saw you in the edited picture that Jack had with him,” Tooth winks her eye. My cheeks blush, “Y-you took that from Hiccup’s place?” Jack chuckles nervously, “I guess I did. My memory is still a bit faint.”
Bunny nodded towards door, “We need to go. The people in this camp are stopping their hunt after the group that left here.” I gasped, “Please don’t tell me that they got hurt!” Bunny grins, “North said that they escaped.”
We all run outside and towards forest. I hear barking and I look behind of me. Drago has returned with his dogs. Bunny is the fastest runner. I see how Tooth takes out something, there are two small gun looking things. She aims one of them towards a tree branch and shoots. A metallic wire flies in the air and snaps to the tree. She uses it to move her forward in the air. First she shoots with the other gun then the other when she releases the first gun. She does it multiple times. It is like she is swaying in the trees.
I am falling behind, my feet aches from before when I was caught by Drago. “Jack!” I scream when I trip. He stops and is panting. He turns around and rans to me, he lifts me up and holds me in his arm. I see how he reaches to a button on his belt. “Hang on!” He tells me and presses the button. We are floating in the air. He takes running steps before he jumps. It is like we are flying.
We move fast and arrive to opening. There is a helicopter waiting, Tooth and Bunny are already there. There is also a pilot and two other people, one has white beard and the other one is short one with golden suit.
Jack takes me inside the helicopter and starts to shoot at the people who are running with the dogs. They are shooting at us and the bullets hit the helicopters surface, snapping back from it. We rise to air and fly forward.
A cold wave hits me suddenly and I gasp. I touch my side and feel warm and sticky sensation. I look down and the pain strikes. I cry from pain and everyone’s attention goes to me. “W-what is wrong?” Jack touches my hand and then he gulped. He saw what I saw. One of the bullets had hit me, I felt exhausted and calm all of a sudden. My head feels heavy and I fall to my knees and then my body starts to fall to right. Jack catches me before I fall down from the helicopters open side.
“She is hurt!” Jack cries and presses my wound. Everyone starts to rush around me. Tooth is going through a box that seems to be emergency kit. My breathing is hard and I stare at Jack to his eyes. He is petting my head, “I am sorry, so sorry Elsa.” My hair stains to red from his touch. Tooth is now tying the gun wound. “We need to get her to Jas! Now!” Tooth yells to the pilot and it was the last thing I heard.
