That Girl Over There

Chapter 11. Creeper...

[Rapunzel]

The front door to my house burst open and Jack and Hiccup stumbled inside.

"Lock the door." Jack growled. I shot him a confused look before twisting my key in the lock and pulling the deadbolt.

"Would you like to explain what's going on and why the urgent call that nearly gave me a heart attack?" I said, I placed my hand in my hip and glared at the boys questioningly.

"That guy Hans, the college jock, wants to kill Jack and I, for one, an accident that happened two years ago and two, breaking Flynn's nose." Hiccup mumbled, his sarcasm still seeped through though.

"Hold up." Merida interrupted. "What the hell does Flynn have to do with this?" Merida asked, all sorts of confusion was visible on her face. Jack sighed and began to explain the situation properly. First the gang then the incident that happened when they were fifteen and now Hans' policy of protecting his 'men'. "You were in a fricken gang when you were fifteen?!" Merida cried.

"Yeah..." Hiccup scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. Merida huffed in anger.

"So ye failed to tell me this because?!"

"We left. We failed to deliver a package and Hans dismissed us. Elsa and Flynn were left behind." Jack butted in.

"Excuse me Frostbite! I was talking to ma boyfriend!" Merida yelled at Jack, she was absolutely livid. This news must have been a shock to her since shes known Hiccup longer than I have known Jack.

"So why does this involve us?" I suddenly spoke up. Jack looked at me with a pained expression in his eyes. I braced myself for what he was about to say.

"Hans is after you two to get to us." Jack mumbled. I glanced over at Hiccup, he had his arms wrapped around Merida protectively but a look of anger was still plastered on her face.

Jack stepped forward and took hold of my hands. "We need to lay low as much as possible, Hans will stop at nothing." Jack murmured. I nodded, my attention was focused on his icy blue eyes. Every time I gazed into his eyes my breathing hitched and I felt as if I was lost in his intense stare.

After a few hours we all settled in my room and watched a film. Every now and then I would catch Jack glancing out of the window.

"Jack please calm down." I stuttered. "No one can get us in here."

"There has been a white BMW sitting outside for two hours now. The guy in the drivers seat still hasn't gotten out." Jack seethed. I gulped heavily.

Hiccup stood up and wandered over and glanced out. "Who do you think it is?" He asked. Jack shrugged his shoulders.

"Seriously guys, no one is gonna barge into the house, sit down and if something else happens call the bloody cops!" Merida exclaimed. The boys sat down and we continued to watch the film. Afterwards we played monopoly: The game that destroys families.

When my mom arrived home, I padded down the stairs, leaving the others upstairs, to go and greet her.

"Hi mom, how was work?" I asked once I had hugged her.

"Oh dear, it was a pile of crap. Never matter." She giggled. My mom hung up her bag and kicked off her shoes and just as she was about to sit down she spoke again. "There was a man outside asking if this was where Rapunzel Corona lived..." She mumbled.

"Corona?" I repeated in dismay. My mom nodded looking at me seriously.

"I simply replied with, 'well there are no Coronas living here. Perhaps you have the wrong address' and he just walked off!" My mom exclaimed. That rushing feeling that you get with adrenaline coursed through my body, but this certainly was adrenaline, it was dread.

"D-did he get into a white BMW?" I asked nervously. Mom nodded before shooting me a curious look. "Um never mind. I've got some friends over, I should probably get back to them." I rambled. Rapidly, I ran out of the living room and just as I was racing up the stairs my mom yelled:

"Dinner will be about six!"

In my room, the others were watching 'Friends' but I quickly interrupted their laughter as I burst in.

"Wha is it lass?" Merida gave me a questioning look.

"That creeper from the car, asked if someone with the name 'Rapunzel Corona' lived here!" I squeaked slightly breathlessly.

"But your surname is Gothel..." Hiccup mumbled.

"I know! My mom said he just walked off and got back into the car!"

Jack sat on my bed gritting his teeth.

"I told you Hans wouldn't f*ck around. But where did he get Corona from?" Jack seethed.

"Your adoptive parents perhaps?" Merida suggested nervously.

"That's impossible, I was abandoned the day I was born. Nobody knew who my parents were." I mumbled.

"Apparently, Hans does." Hiccup said sarcastically.

"Now isn't the time for joking Hicc." Jack grumbled. "None of us are leaving this house until we can figure out how to stop this sick bastard."

"And how do you plan on doing that?" Merida retorted.

"Giving him what he wants." Hiccup said slowly in realisation.

"No." Merida snapped. "You ain't gonna risk yer lives for us. We are in it all together or not at all."

"Agreed." I spoke up.
