Out of the sea

Chapter 8:

What am I going to do now? I got my wish. I hope this isn't a dream. That everything that I see is real. Every tiny detail of it is real.

"Is this truly real?" I sigh as I place my head on the palm of my hands.

Many humans pass by me. They were talking to each other like nothing matters. Some are walking on what I had read on human books a road.

There were objects that the humans would go in and it would move in a fast manner. I've never read or seen that before on books that mom gave me. Humans are very advance in things.

"Hey what's the problem?" A boy's voice ask. I snap my head towards the voice.

"It's nothing." I say. His brown hair was swept off from his face due from the wind. He sat down beside me outside. "Okay but if you have any problems just tell me. I'll help you out." I smiled at him.

This is a proof.  Maybe I could try to pretend that I was in trouble to see if he really is kind.

I took a deep breath.

"Well...You see, I'm not from here. I live somewhere far far away." Hiccup looks at me intently. "And..the place where I live had been..ummm..invaded by evil people. I was taken and they pushed me into the ocean to drown but I survived and...here I am." I lied, while looking at the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world to hide my face as fake tear slipped.

I noticed that I was barefoot and Hiccup was wearing something on his feet.

"And-and I want to go back there t-to save my f-family." More tears stained the ground below me as images of my family and my people shouting and crying for my help, desperately.

Another picture flashed; My father being scorched. He was weak and helpless.

I can't help but truly cry at that thought. I love my father deeply. He helped become a strong and kind person.

Hiccup was silent.

His hands were stroking my back, soothing my insides. "I-" I breath the salty air. "I don't know what to do." My body shaking from my cries of helplessness.

"Let's go back inside. We don't want people glaring at me like I'm the bad guy here." Hiccup says as he helps me get up since my eyesight were blurry from crying. I laughed a bit.

1 point for me and 0 points for Elsa. HAHAHA.

We enter the house.
From the living room, Merida saw me. She quickly went to our way. "What happened?! Hiccup what did you do?!" Merida slaps Hiccup's arm. It made a sound. "Ouch! I didn't do anything. Ow. Ow."

Now, Merida was pinching hiccups arm. "Merida stop. He didn't do anything. He helped me." My voice was hoarse.

Merida's eyes spun to me.

They change into concern. "Oh. Come here. Shhh. Don't cry. We are here for you."

2 points for me.

"Thank you." I wipe my tears. "Can I go to my room?" I ask her. My eyes were puffy. "Sure. Sure. Do you want me to come with you?"

I shook my head.

As I went upstairs where they were out of hearing range, I clapped. "God job Rapunzel. You are a great actress." I pat myself.

"Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Who's the greatest! Rapunzel!" I sang.

I reached my room and twist the knob.

In the middle of the room was a bed. I jumped on it, making the bed and me bounced. I laughed.

"This is cozy. Maybe I can sleep for a while and continue my pretend-to-be-life later."

A refreshing sleep might give my mind some good ideas. I close my eyes waiting for sleep to come and take me. L

"What are you doing in my room?" A deep voice spoke out of nowhere. I bolted up from the bed. My hand hit the wall behind me in surprise. "Ow!" Clutching the hand that had been injured. It had a red sore spot near the thumb. So this wasn't my room? Why hadn't I notice it? Ugh.

"Don't make me repeat myself." The white haired boy says.  His sounded serious. He didn't even say sorry for sneaking up on me. I look up from my injured hand to him.

2 points for me and 1 point for Elsa. Great.

On the end of the bed was him with only half of his body covered in a cloth.

I covered my eyes even though my hand had just been hurt but right now I don't care. Yes, mermen have no clothing on top and I have seen it on human boys too but this is entirely different from those boys.

"C-can you please c-cover yourself f-first." I say with my hands still covering my eyes. "Not until you tell me why you're here." I peek a bit from my fingers and saw that he was crossing his arms.

Jack's expression was bored.

His hair was wet and his body was glistening from the water.

I got up from his bed while hanging my head low so he won't see the redness of my cheeks. "Where are you going? You haven't answered my question." I gulped. Only one thought came to my mind; run.

And that's what I did I scamper towards the only exit. Unfortunately, he was faster and has longer legs so he reached me in no time. Trapping my tiny body to his and the wall behind me.

"Please don't kill me!" I beg. Elsa was right. They are evil. Is this how I die? I close my eyes waiting for him to kill me. My heart was beating fast in my chest.

Nothing happened.

I pick a little through my eyelids.

Jack just chuckled. His hair move side to side when he shook his head. The smell of mint hit my nose as he laugh. "Did I say something funny?" I furrow my brows.

The white haired boy once again become serious. I actually like him more when he laughs. His face got closer to mine. Only an inch was in between us. He was staring intently at my eyes like identifying something.

"C-can I go now?" I slice in through the intensity of the air. "Whatever." He nod his head to the door and let his hands fall to his sides. Jack took a step back for me to move.

I slowly walk away from him and to the door. "Bye." With that I left him. He was deep in thought that I doubt he heard me. Well that was a very interesting first impression and an awkward one too.
