Hiccup's POV
On foot, Atlanta was further than we thought. The Arendelle's joined us on our journey to the 'safe haven' aka the infected free city of Atlanta. Our minimal supplies we almost gone and we were all weak.
"This is pointless!" Merida snapped. We were walking through a deserted naibourhbod about ten miles away from Atlanta. "We'll all be dead before we get there!" She screeched.
"Mer be quiet, you'll awaken the dead. Literally." Jack chuckled.
"This is no time for f*cking jokes Jack!" Merida screamed.
"Merida, please be quiet!" Rapunzel begged. Suddenly, the feisty Scott went silent and eyed us all. She whipped around in her heel and stormed ahead.
"I'll talk to her." I volunteered, as the others nodded, I jogged ahead to Merida my prosthetic leg clanked in the process.
"I'm telling ye," she started, "if we don't stop off at the next town to look for supplies, we'll be dead!" She spat.
"I know Mer..." I stuttered.
"Do ye? Do ye really? 'Cos right now it seems to me everyone here has a death wish!" Merida seethed. I sighed and continued to trudge along beside her.

About an hour later we were approaching a little town nine and a half miles from Atlanta.
"Jack!" Merida yelled. "We are going to stop here and search for supplies." Merida instructed.
"Fine." Jack obeyed. Quickly, all split up however we did not wander off alone; Elsa, Anna, Kristof, baby Olaf and Sven were searching the North side of town; Jim and Ariel were at the east; Jack and Rapunzel went south and Mer and I went west. First we searched the small collection of houses then the local shops.
"Nothing." I grumbled.
"I think there's a restaurant near the park." Merida informed. I nodded in acknowledgement and we jogged out of the shop across the park. As we made our way through the soccer field, we heard the sound we didn't want to hear...infected.
"F*ck!" I mumbled under my breath.
"Run! The restaurant Is right ahead!" Merida yelled. I sprinted as fast as my real and fake leg could carry me, with Merida close by. Rapidly, she ran forward and broke the lock on the door to the restaurant; I sped off and through the doors with Merida behind slamming them shut and jamming the handles with a broom.
"It's not going to hold them for long so we gotta be quick." She commanded.
"Right!" I said. Together we stormed through the restaurant, right the way through to the kitchen.
"Bingo!" Merida cried as she examined the food locker. I stood beside and stared in awe at the brilliant amount of food.
"This is a miracle..." I breathed.
"You better believe it!" Merida said enthusiastically as she loaded up our bags. As soon as we'd finished looting, Merida and I were out of the back door and over the trash cans like lightening.
