Jack Was Here

Chapter 20 : Shaken

Anna

Kristoff and I laughed at the snowman we had created, " What's his name? " he asked.

I thought about it for a couple seconds, " Olaf, " I said, and then giggled at the horrible shape of the head, which was made by Kristoff, if I may add.

" Hey, it's not that bad, " he said, looking again at Olaf with me, " Okay, it's pretty bad, " He agreed, giving up.

" Told you, " I smirked as I stood up to stretch my legs.

I heard a clicking noise, and looked down at the ground, a pebble bounced up and down on the rock surface.

A clatter followed it as a cast iron pan fell to the ground.

The ground below me started to quiver, " Kristoff?! " I shouted.

A loud crack sounded from above, I looked to the roof and saw cracks forming in the rock ceiling.

" Anna! Move! " I heard Kristoff yell, but I couldn't make my legs move.

I closed my eyes as tight as they would go and screamed.

I felt something crash into me, but instead of coming from above it came from the side.

I landed on the cold rock ground, while my ears began to ring and my eyesight blurred a bit.

" Are you okay? " I faintly heard someone ask me.

I focused on regaining my vision, within a minute I could see. Kristoff was right over top of me, shaking me slightly.

" Anna? " Kristoff asked and the ringing stopped.

" Yeah? " I replied, my own voice sounded confused to me.

He looked at me worried, " Are you okay? " He asked again, and waved his hand in front of my face.

I blinked a couple times, smiled, " I'm fine, " I answered.

Kristoff had tackled me out of the way of the rock and was hovering over top of me.

" Hmm, " I mumbled.

" Oh sorry, " he said and quickly got off of me.

I looked at where I had been standing just moments before, a huge part of the ceiling and tumbled down in some sort of earthquake. I looked around and saw over parts of the ceiling crumbled on the floor.

" What was that? " I asked, glancing at Kristoff.

He looked confused, " I'm not sure, there is usually quivers in the mountain, but I've never seen something like this before. "

He paused for a moment and then got an idea, he stood to his feet, " I'm going up to look, " he said holding out a hand to help me up, " And you are going to stay here. "

" I am not! " I exclaimed, as he pulled me up.

" Listen, it might be dangerous up there and- " He started.

I cut him off, " I'm not afraid to get hurt, " I said and crossed my arms over my chest.

" Then what would be the point in saving you earlier, if you have a death wish, " He said sarcastically.

" If I have a death wish, so do you, " I grinned.

" That's different, I know these mountains, you don't, end of story, I'll be back in ten minutes, don't move, " He stated, turned around and walked out of the cave.

I stood there with my mouth open, I wasn't used to being told no.

I got pulled out of my shock when Sven came over and licked my face, " I'm okay, " I told him and scratched him under the neck.

I got a carrot out of a bag by the wall and gave it to him, " Stay here Sven, " I said before running out of the cave.

Jack

We all ducked as Pitch peered into the trees, after a minute, he whistled.

Almost directly after the whistle, a loud boom sounded, and the small door turned into a one story high and ten metres wide door. The whole mountain shook as it slowly opened.

When it was fully ajar a pack of huskies emerged.

They were all tied together with a large sled behind.

The huskies were big, not sized like normal ones, almost twice the size and with blood red eyes instead of light blue.

They looked determined and vicious.

Pitch went to the sled and climbed inside, without a moments hesitation the pack took off, at what seemed like an impossible speed.

Once they were gone I leaned over to Merida, " Here's our chance, " I said and stood up.

The door started to close again and I made a run for it.

The rest of the group followed me as I ran into the cave and hid against the wall.

Everyone else slipped into the cave just before the door shut.

The cave seemed to be deserted, " Okay, we have to split up, " I said.

" Sounds good, " Rapunzel agreed.

" How about Hiccup and Merida come with me and Eugene and Rapunzel go by themselves? " I suggested.

Everyone nodded their heads and we split up.

We headed for the door on the right, while Rapunzel and Eugene headed to the left.

The door was surprisingly unlocked and I pushed it open.

We walked through a hallway that had a door on each side every couple of feet.

Merida walked up and looked into a tiny window on a door.

Some big dark creature lunged at her, she yelled and jumped backwards, crashing into Hiccup, making them fall on the floor together.

The creature hissed and growled at us, though none of us wanted to see what it was.

We kept walking until the door at the end of the hall burst open, about ten men came rushing at us.

Merida and Hiccup turned around and ran, but I didn't move.

" Run! " Hiccup yelled, but I didn't listen.

The guards came closer and like I suspected, they ran right through me, Pitch must not have told them about me, rookie mistake.

More guards came bursting through the door we entered and trapped Hiccup and Merida.

They all stood in a circle around them, I came up behind the guards, but I couldn't do anything, I tried to punch them, but my fists went right through.

Merida and Hiccup were looking at me to do something, but I couldn't, " I'm sorry, " I apologized.

And they looked at me and gave me a weary smile.

The guards came closer and then I remembered something.

Something I could do to help.
