29 Someone Mysterious
POV Hiro
Combat training, barehanded and just going with all we got. I'm not so good at this but hey, I've gotta try my best to stay alive and get to train with Baymax after this.
"Alright so since we have a new Private among us we need to mix up your usual pairings," Captain Frost announced. He was creepily amused by this situation.
"Please not me," Eugene began chanting with his eyes closed and his fingers crossed.
"Umm?" I glanced at him and he opened up his other eye.
"You see. There's five of us so Captain will train with one of us," Eugene said with his breathe hitching.
"Private Arendelle.... yeah that's you cotton candy--," Captain Frost nodded towards Anna. She eyeballed him furiously for being called cotton candy. Probably because of her hair.
"You're with Hamada," Captain Frost grinned. I sighed from relief, maybe I won't get beaten up that badly.
"And the rest pairings as follows. Fitzherbert and Haddock. Then... me and Arendelle," Captain Frost said. He had a devious smile on his face, I look at Elsa quickly but she didn't even flinch.
Everyone got to their spots, we threw our jackets off and walked all around the hall. We were training indoors this time, the winter was still here and fighting in the snow would have been too cold for most of us.
"I hope you're not treating me any differently," Anna cheered, she already sounded victorious when she grinned. Immediately she took her stand in front of me with her fists up. This wasn't the first time for her to be doing this.
"Because you're a girl? Nope.... just don't kill me," I replied to her once I got ready. Then Captain Frost blew to the whistle and we had to begun.
Anna came to me like a tornado. She knocked me down after couple of punches.
"Heck, I told you not to kill me!" I groan from the ground.
Anna shrugged and kneeled down, "Well you're alive, aren't you? You should've protected yourself better."
I took her hand as she pulled me up. "I couldn't you were too fast." She just smiled and we walked to the edge of the gymnastic hall.
Hiccup was outsmarting Eugene, he was dodging him and knew all his moves beforehand. Suddenly Hiccup grabbed to Eugene's arm which was pointing straight after a punch. Hiccup was about to hold him still while kicking him down.
"Got you!" Eugene cheered.
It all resulted into them getting their feet tangled. They both fell to floor in weird manner. I couldn't tell which of them was above the other.
"Oh my god! Are you two okay!" Anna gasped as she rushed to help them to get loose from each other.
"We're perfect," Hiccup mumbled and showed thumbs up.
"Yeah as soon as you stop grabbing my butt," Eugene hissed. I roll my eyes at them and then I heard how shoes were squeaking against rubber floor mat.
It caught my attention and then I saw how Elsa was digging her feet into floor mat to keep herself up. She was still fighting with the Captain. Anna was still detangling the guys but I kept on following those two.
My mind just can't get off from the night when we were on our first mission. Elsa had run back for Captain without hesitation, to protect him. She had used ice powers, much stronger than what Captain had, and she kept it a secret from him. Then Captain had been staying with her at the hospital, refusing to leave.
"Whoa," Anna gasped. She had just finished getting those two separate again and her voice brought me back to this moment.
I saw how Elsa threw a punch to Captain's shoulder, making him to step back when he lost his position. Then she crossed her arms in front of herself when she saw the counterattack coming. Captain was serious when he was punching her against her arms. Elsa didn't flinch or lose her balance.
That's when Captain circled behind her, grabbed her around her waist and was going to get her to fall.
"Ouch!" Elsa shrieked.
"Shit your wound, it's still not healed," Captain Frost gasped and let go of her.
Everything happened in an instant. Elsa turned around and used her elbow to hit surprised Captain to his jaw, I saw a glimpse of Elsa's smirk. Then she punched him to stomach and when he had bended down she hit him to back of his head. He fell to his knees and was still catching air to his lungs.
"Hah, I did it!" Elsa cheered victoriously. She was sweaty and had bruises on her arms.
"Idiot," Captain Frost groaned. I yelped when he pulled Elsa to ground. He pinned her down and glared at her.
"Never believe that you've won until your opponent is dead," Captain hissed. He was keeping her down by pressing his arm against her neck, Elsa was squirming under her.
"I think she did well," Anna insisted. She wasn't afraid of the Captain.
"Shut up. Elsa... umm.. Arendelle is a useless soldier unless she gets this," Captain snapped angrily. Then he let go of Elsa and told everyone to get into shower.
I went to get my jacket and I noticed how Captain approached Elsa and Anna. He had already picked up his jacket. For my surprise there was no yelling, it was like he was telling them something.
Some moments later I was back in my barrack. I needed to pick up some stuff before I go and get Baymax for training. Of course I took a shower before hand, it cooled down my bruises from Anna's beating quite good.
As I was walking towards the kennel I noticed something happening between two barracks. I glanced there a little better and I saw Captain Frost, he wasn't alone. I narrowed my eyes until I saw Elsa. They were having a conversation, it seemed that they were almost arguing.
Just when I was about to continue my way I saw how Elsa was going to leave. That's when Captain Frost grabbed her arm. He pushed her against the wall and my jaw dropped, he began separating her legs with his other leg. Then he pressed his face against her neck, he had locked her there. His free hand was traveling down from her shoulder, to her waist and down to her butt.
"What the hell," I gulped. Then I took off my back bag and I quickly searched my headset. I put it on and soon the black miniature robots were coming out from my bag. They are controlled by mind and my mind was currently set on one thing.
"Let go of her jerk!" I shouted as I was pacing towards them. The microbots were rising in the air and forming something that I was thinking of.
Soon the large fist was swinging through air, going straight towards the Captain. He managed to turn around to face the rightful arm that would crush him soon. My anger towards him made the microbots work in violent matter.
Captain pushed Elsa away from behind him and lifted his arms to protect himself but it's no use against metal. Metal that was my invention. That ice of his won't protect him for long.
"Hiro! Don't!" Elsa screamed and I saw her watching at me in panic.
"OH GOD!" I yelled, I'm about to kill someone. My madness took over me. I saw how the fist scattered into tiny metallic microbots but the fist managed to hit on Captain anyway. He was laying on the ground when the microbots went back to my bag.
I ran to see how much damage it did, Elsa was already embracing Captain Frost.
"Jack, please say something," Elsa sobbed to unconscious Captain. Her hands were gently brushing through his hair.
"B-but he was going to... he was toying with you. I thought he was going to r-ra--," I mumbled in shock.
"Mmh... rape her?" Captain Frost whispered and opened up his eyes.
"He wouldn't! He isn't like that Hiro," Elsa shrieked.
Captain Frost sat down in the snow, he was holding his other arm. He had a small scratch on his cheek.
"Then what kind of man is he? I thought he hated you and now he was grabbing you," I spat out while clenching my hands into fists.
"I just got mad to him because he doesn't want me to go back home this weekend alone," Elsa replied angrily.
"True and it's also true that I was playing with her," Captain chuckled. He placed his hand on Elsa's shoulder and let it slide down to her waist and behind her back. All this time he was staring at me with a devious smile.
"You're her superior. Elsa you don't have to let him do that to you," I raised my voice.
Then I flinched, Captain put his hand behind her neck and pulled her into deep passionate kiss. Elsa didn't pull away, she let him do it. They were panting after that and staring at each other.
"Wait a minute," I mumbled and glared at them both.
"Please don't tell anyone. I love him," Elsa pleaded, her cheeks were deep red.
"Do as the girl asks," Captain Frost ordered when he got up.
"Have you brainwashed her or do you love her back?" I said as I crossed my arms.
"I've told her not to love me. Trust me, now go to train that dog of yours," Captain replied angrily.
"But," I gulped.
"Thank you for defending me but I can handle myself," Elsa smiled and winked her eye.
True. She could've used her ice powers in any point and beat the crap out of him.
"Alright, take care," I sighed as I turn my back at them. They stayed at the alley between barracks once I left.
Time to make some training ground by using the microbots for Baymax.
POV Elsa
"That kid sure can invent things," Jack whistled after Hiro had left.
"Are you sure that you'll be okay?" I gulped. I saw the robotic arm that was huge and it was going to hit him. If Hiro hadn't undone it when he did, then Jack would be in worse state.
Jack nodded his head and grinned to me. "About you going away," he whispered and blocked me against the wall again.
"I need to see how things are going in my kingdom. Now that Anna has been away also--," I insisted again.
"What are you willing to do for a permission to go?" Jack whispered to my ear before starting to nip my earlope.
"This is serious, I'm the Queen and I really need to go," I mumbled while his hand was back to caressing my back.
"I'm serious and I'm coming with you... partner," he said quietly to me. I gasped when he started to kiss my neck, I glanced out from the alley nervously. I was afraid that someone else could see us too.
"B-but--," I began but he hushed me out quickly.
"Oh shut up. Just tell everyone that I'm your bodyguard... just like before," Jack grinned and brushed his thumb over my bottom lip. The way he was acting, it was like he was trying to seduce me all over again.
"I told you that there are rumors going on in the kingdom," I said with my voice rising. My heart was beating violently, nervousness was taking over me.
"About what?" He asked playfully while staring into my eyes.
"You. Who you are and our relationship," I said shyly.
"Well, let them have their fun... besides, can't the Queen have a little fun with her bodyguard anyway? Is it a scandal?" Jack chuckled.
"It is a scandal," I hissed. Again we were back to this conversation. Anna had left already towards Arendelle but my stubborn Captain was refusing to let me go alone.
"You didn't think of it when you chose to return to my barrack at that first night. You craved for it, you decided to be mine," he said silently and managed to surprise me.
"Jack... It was--," I sighed and I tried to shrug off the effect of his bold words.
"A mistake?" He said and sounded insulted.
"No. But I'm going to Arendelle a--," I started.
"With me," he said strictly. "Or you won't go. I can't let you out of my sight. I promise to be a simple bodyguard, no touching," he smiled. He let his hand go over my cheek which he gently stroked.
"Can you keep that promise?" I asked with my hopes up, slowly he nodded his head and gave a quick kiss on my lips.
"I'll give you a ride tomorrow--," he said mischievously and made me blush before he continued,"-- back to Arendelle. Of course... I'm at your usage your highness.. at every hour of the day."
After saying that he left, I stayed on my spot and stared at his back with my cheeks flushed. I inhaled deeply and I began running to my barrack. I need to get myself ready because I would meet up with the other squads girls at the bar.
"Elsa!" Punzie's voice greeted me when I got into our usual place.
Her voice was enough to make the whole place quiet for a moment and check out who this 'Elsa' is. I notice how Shawn looks at me and smiles before going to back stage. He had been having some drinks at the bar. Still it was DJ Flounder's turn to play some music but I guess that Shawn would perform tonight too.
I sat on the table where Merida, Punzie, Astrid and GoGo were. They had been already drinking for a while.
"I'm so jealous sometimes," Merida groaned and glanced at me.
"W-why?" I laughed nervously. Her way of starting a conversation is unusual sometimes.
"Well you got to your first mission already," she sighed.
"Oh. Well I got hurt then. It's not fun to do,"I shrugged and I took a sip of my drink that the waiter brought. It is my usual in here.
"That scar will look nice," Astrid grinned and winked her eye.
"Yeah, what guy wouldn't like a girl with scars --- wait I thought that girls like boys with scars," Merida pointed out sarcastically.
Astrid showed her tongue to Merida who started to laugh.
"Speaking of guys. Will you take Eugene with you this weekend Punz? He has been kind of down lately because he thinks that you avoid him," I asked from Punzie.
She shrugged, "I'm going to my parents and I want to be with them alone this weekend. However I plan a romantic escape weekend two weeks from now."
"That sounds nice. I promise to keep it as a secret," I smiled.
"Good," Punzie smiled back.
"GoGo, why are you so deep in your thoughts?" I asked from her. She was just staring at her drink.
"Ummm... Hiro came to train Baymax today and I was with him. He was a little odd, like he was thinking of something but he refused to tell me what it was," GoGo sighed.
"Haha! You're worrying about your boyfriend," Merida teased GoGo.
"He is not my boyfriend. We're friends.. and he is a boy," GoGo spoke quickly. However she blushed a bit.
"Anyways. What plans you guys have for the weekend?" Astrid laughed and I noticed how she was trying to change the subject.
"I'm going home. It's fun to hunt in winter with dad so that's what I'm going to do!" Merida cheered. She was tensing up the string of imaginary bow of hers at the table and then letting it shoot.
"I guess I'm going to San Fransoskyo. There are few mutual friends of mine and Hiro, we'll be doing some cool devices and programming on computer," GoGo stated and leaned back on her chair. She had taken some gum which she was now chewing on.
"I already told you guys. Umm.. Elsa, are you going home?" Punzie giggled and smiled to me.
"Uh, yeah sort of. Anna went ahead today but I'll go there soon with him," I smiled and then I slapped my hand over my mouth. My cheeks were burning up.
"Him?" Astrid said and raised her eyebrow.
"H-Hiccup," I laughed and tried to correct the situation.
"Hiccup and I are going to our village. Who is this he you're so shy on telling us about?" Astrid smiled mischievously and she leaned forward. She bends her hands under her chin as she takes support from the table.
I notice how my hands began freezing my glass so I let go of it. I was getting into nervous wreck.
"I... I have someone," I whispered and I immediately looked down to my hands.
"Oh. Shawn maybe?" Merida said. She was enjoying this moment way too much. I just shook my head.
"No, not him and I won't tell you. Now excuse me," I gulped as I got up and nearly ran to restroom.
I closed the door after me and then I went to the sink. I rinsed my face with water and then I wiped my face dry with a paper towel. I heard the door opening and closing.
"Elsa?" It was Punzie. I gave her a faint smile when she came next to me and began putting on some lipstick.
"I'm sorry for running off. He... I want to keep him as a secret for now," I said quietly.
"I understand... so tell me. What is he like! Is he cute?" She giggled and smiled warmly.
"Handsome. Brave and he cares for me. His eyes, I just drown into them sometimes... It's like being in the embrace of gentle waves that keep me up. And the way those blue eyes of his are sparkling when he laughs," I sighed dreamily.
"I see... you're deeply in love," Punzie whispered.
"I guess so," I whispered a response and then I glanced at the mirror.
"Gosh! I'm deep red after I ruined my makeup!" I gasped. The water washed everything away and now everyone could see me turning red whenever they mention the mystery character that I love.
"Let me!" Punzie grinned and took her makeup pouch from her bag. Quickly she added me some powder and other makeup to make it perfect.
I look at my reflection and I smile, she had just saved me. "Thank you!" I cheered and hugged her, she replied to my hug.
Shortly after we joined with the others. They had gladly forgotten our previous subject. We ended up chatting about normal girl stuff, clothes, animals and the books we've read instead of only speaking about weapons and tactics. Even though we discussed about those too since we're soldiers after all.
I went back to my barrack after the nice evening. I took a warm shower before going to sleep at my own bunk. Tomorrow I would travel with Jack to Arendelle which I can't wait. I miss my kingdom but I would've missed him too, it's actually nice to have him there with me.
I had hard time sleeping at the night. The dream was horrifying, I heard screaming and then I saw flashing images of a girl being tortured. Her blood was staining the snowy grounds into vivid red.
Something was cutting through her flesh, ripping her apart. Somehow it reminded me of black knife, really sharp and it shimmered in the amount of light that the place got. The place was really cold, everything was freezing around me.
It was all accompanied with laughter that was so cruel that it made my stomach turn from disgust. I never saw who it was even though I went in and out of sleep and always back to the same dream. I just saw the gleaming black eyes, a devious smile but then that person disappeared into shadows.
The last time when I woke up, that was when I heard my own voice, pleading. "Please, no more," that's what I asked.
I woke up breathing shallow. My body was sweaty, the horrifying realization of me being the girl was shaking my body. I wanted to vomit, I couldn't even recognize my own self from all that blood.
Quickly I got up from my bed bunk and I put on my jacket. Then, without shoes or pants I ran outside from my barrack. The door slammed open loudly, it was early morning but I didn't care if I woke up my team members.
I just run.
Run in the snow, through the yard and to certain barrack. I began slamming the door with my tears running down from my cheeks.
I'm so afraid.
Finally the door opened and I saw the amazement on Jack's face. I just let my body collapse against his, my jacket fell from my shoulders and I squeezed his t-shirt on my hands. He stepped back, saying nothing and he pulled me in with him.
He shut the door while I was still sobbing against his shirt. I flinched when his hand touched my back, I was afraid that it might hurt. Hurt the deep wounds that I had, it is hard to comprehend that it all was a dream. It felt so real, I wanted to help that girl... who in reality was me.
"Elsa? What's the matter?" Jack asked worryingly. He was gently rubbing my back.
"I just.... i-it was a nightmare," I whispered and I inhaled deeply.
"What?" He gulped.
"B-bad dream," I said while clearing my throat. His scent was calming me down.
"Look at me," he ordered and lifted my chin up. He was frowning when our eyes met, then his eyes went wide.
"Get to the bed, now. Lay down," he said quickly and let go of me. His reaction scared me.
"What? Jack?" I said with my voice shaking. I laid down and I saw him taking a mirror.
"This," he said and showed me my face. I screamed, my other eye was black. The crystal blue shade had been replaced with something dark.
"Sandy left yesterday. I have to do this by myself, it'll hurt," Jack spoke fast and I saw him holding his hand in front of him. There was a small whirl of glowing blue snowflakes circling around over his palm. Slowly I nodded my head.
He smiled faintly and then he blew at the snowflakes. I leaned back on the bed as much as I could, I was afraid of what would happen when the snowflakes hit me.
They came closer.
And closer.
Then they went inside my eyes.
Suddenly, I felt weird. Soothing sensation went over me, all the fear was disappearing. I remembered the day when I first conquered my fear, how Anna and I skated after a long time again. We had fun, back then. Slowly I began laughing, it was like a memory brought me into this. Laughter was curing me.
There was something black forming in front of me and I began to stare at it. It was like a small cloud of black crystals, sand. It was like I was back from being in the moment where I was teaching Anna to ice skating into this one, where I was laying on Jack's bed in his barrack.
"You said it would hurt," I whispered but I didn't hear my voice.
The first thing I heard was laughter, it was cruel and directly from my previous nightmare. It made me nearly froze on the bed, I was afraid to see who it was.
"Jack?" I said with my shaking voice. Slowly I began to sit.
I saw Jack, he was kneeling down on the ground. He was holding his head with both hands, he was laughing uncontrollably. His eyes were wide and he was closing into madness. The sand was now circling above his head.
He was the man from the dream. The one who tortured me.
"This isn't... y-you," I gulped but he didn't hear me. He kept on laughing like he was crazy.
"I won't let you turn into something that I saw!" I stated as I got up from the bed. I went straight to him, I wrapped my arms around him into embrace. "I love you, please... listen to me," I whispered to his ear.
His laughter ended, for a moment he was still until he began shaking and gasping. The black sand fell to floor around us. That was when he relaxed.
We said nothing for a while, he was just breathing in and out calmly. Then he grabbed to my arm and stared into my eyes.
"I hurt you... in your nightmare... I hurt you. Stop loving me, don't be near me," he said. He sounded broken, now he was the one who was afraid.
"You just helped me. You won't hurt me, got it?" I smiled to him and kissed his cheek.
"What if I turn into that demon... that's inside me," he said silently. I wiped his hair away from his forehead quickly.
"I think that you just showed me a memory of something that I considered as fun... didn't you? When you got that stuff out from me?" I said gently.
"Mmh... that's the only way for me to get the nightmare sand out from someone. Sandy can do it better, he won't get affected," Jack laughed a bit.
"So it hurts you?" I asked and he nodded his head.
"I'm sorry... never leave me? You are good even though you're afraid that you are not," I said quietly. Then I rested my forehead against his.
"I promise never to hurt you," he gulped and I saw him blushing.
"So you love me as well?" I asked curiously. Now it was my turn to flush, my face felt like it was on fire.
"I'll tell you some day... now, get your pretty ass up and get a dress on you. I want my Queen to be pretty when I take her to her kingdom," he smirked mischievously.
I responded to him with a shy smile as I got up. Quickly I put on my jacket and then I ran back to my barrack. The guys were staring at me in surprise.
"I had to rush for a toilet, sorry if I woke you guys up with blasting the door open," I laughed innocently.
"Oh," they all yawned together. Then they left together for breakfast so I could dress myself in private. They had already got themselves ready while I was out.
Then I headed towards the park area. Jack was waiting for me there, he was already wearing the uniform of Arendelle. The silver fabric was looking nice on him but my mind wandered to imagine him with the King's outfit on. Even that suited to him.
It felt good to be on his arms as he was about to carry me back to Arendelle. He would fly and this time I trusted on him with this one. I couldn't help not to notice his devious grin when his hands went under my legs, his other hand sneakily slipped under the hem of my dress. Even though it's winter I can wear dresses because the cold doesn't bother me. Even his hands feel warm even though many people say that he radiates cold from his body.
A/N:
How was the chapter my dearies?
Was it just a nightmare?
Anyways. A question.
Since it's gonna be everyone's free weekend... I'm showing you it in two locations. Arendelle and the village of Berk. But... Hiccup's or Astrid's POV?
And in Arendelle. Elsa or Jack?
