Only The Strong Survive (Sequel to Survival)

Chapter 30- Tick Tock

I only drove around the block for about twenty minutes before I decided to go back and finish out conversation. I just needed time to cool off.

It just pisses me off that Elsa decides all these details in Aidan's life while I'm just feeling like deadbeat. I didn't know about him! How can I be a father after knowing about him the same day I found out. I just needed time time to process.

And I'm actually trying to help and be there but she's pushing me away. Point is, we need to seriously talk. I just want was best for him.

I park my car and slam the door as I got out and make my way to the house.

As I walk in the air feels different. A shaky feeling. But I just shrug it off and walk to the kitchen where she's not in anymore. When I walk to the living room I hear a noise.

When I hear that it's coming from the baby monitor, I decide to go into her room and check on Aidan. When I knock and receive no answer, I walk in to see him sitting up in his crib crying.

"What's up buddy?" I pick him up over my shoulder and call out, "Elsa?"

"Where's your mom, Aidan?" I stare down at him and decide to grab his pacifier to quite him down.

"Elsa?"

Nothing.

Then I see a shadow pass by the door.

"Elsa?"

The figure comes into the room and it turns out to be Punzie. And she comes in with Merida and Hiccup.

"What are you doing in Elsa's room?" She asks. "And why is there a huge mess downstairs. You know the dogs haven't stopped barking since I came in."

"Yeah, I don't know about that. Hey, where's Elsa?"

She shrugs, "I don't know. I haven't talked to her in days. How should I know?"

Merida cuts in, "What do you mean days? You haven't talked? Why?"

Rapunzel takes a deep sigh before answering. "We had a fight. Basically when she enters a room I'm in I get up and leave with slamming the door."

I didn't know they've been ignoring each other. I thought it was just that one day they fought. That's it.

"She was talking stuff about my parents and me and I just snapped. I told her things and that's it," She stops and sits down on the chair in the corner.

Well, I didn't know that part.

"But where is she? I need to talk to her."

"About what?"

"That's personal."

Hiccup comes between us and holds up a letter, "This was on the dressing table."

Rapunzel takes it from him and opens the white piece of paper and reads it.

Why would Elsa write a letter?

And where the hell did she go?

It takes Punzie a few moments to finally finish the letter, and when she does she looks up at me in a blank stare.

She walks towards me and takes Aidan leaving me confused on what she's doing.

She hands the baby to Merida, "Can you hold him for a second?"

Rapunzel puts the letter down and grabs a pillow from the chair in the corner and examines it before she begins hitting me with it.

"You. Threatened. To. Take. Aidan. Away. From. Her!" Each words she would hit me twice as hard until she got tired and threw the pillow at me. "What's wrong with you!?"
