The Gateway That Led To You

Chapter 44

Eugene's POV

We all decided that simply waiting for an answer at Big Hero 6's hideout wasn't going to help us. So, all of us went out into the open. Good, now we have a better chance and finding Jack and Hiccup. If we have to attract The Nightmares' attention to get us to their hideout, so be it.

Elsa explained that she had once been able to communicate with Jack in the mind, but she couldn't now. I'm getting worried that he's really trapped inside himself. How are we going to break the spell? I've been convincing myself that we could reverse it, but this is Pitch's doing, I'm sure he's made it permanent with all the magic he has now...

Aidan closed his eyes for a moment and started walking somewhere. It was like he was listening to something or someone to tell him where to go.

"Where's he going?" I asked Cleo.

"Aidan's being Aidan." Cleo simply replied.

"I'm asking The Voice Of Nature for information of our abducted friends." Aidan said.

"Yeah, yeah, it's just your fancy name for the voice in your head." Darrel rolled his eyes.

"Just because you can't hear it!" Aidan snapped. "The Voice Of Nature can help me find stuff."

"Aidan, I get it that you love nature, but that doesn't mean there's some nature voice talking to you or helping you out." Darrel rolled his eyes again.

"Hey, remember we got lost back in the woods?! The Voice Of Nature helped me out with that! It told me where to go." Aidan protested.

"That was just your navigation skills, there was no voice helping you out." Darrel said.

"How dare you disrespect... Why you-" Aidan said.

Isabelle quickly stopped the two from getting into a quarrel. "Cut it out you two! All of us have our own unique or weird abilities, and I don't think you want me to list some of them out, Darrel."

North was checking out his snow globes, whispering some weird gibberish. The snow was swirling, but didn't show a place.

"If we've never been there, then neither your snow globes or my tunnels will work." Bunny said.

"I know, I was just testing, hoping." North sighed.

Tooth flew up. "Mid air huh? But why specifically mid air? Why couldn't they create the portal on ground?"

"I was wondering that too." GoGo nodded.

"Come on, think! This mid air thing could be our key." Tooth tapped her chin. "What if it isn't a portal? What if you need to be in a specific place in mid air to transport the lot of us to their hideout? What if it would conjure up something, not a portal, that leads there?"

Everyone thought but we just couldn't think of anything. Strangely, it made sense to me but I just couldn't figure it out.

I looked around. "Where's Olaf, Ethan and Aidan?"

"Following The Voice Of Nature, I suppose." Cleo shrugged.

"It might be worth checking it out, we should follow them." Merida suggested. "We need all the help we can get, even if it's from nature itself."

"You actually believe all that nonsense?!" Darrel was taken aback. "Seriously, Aidan's cuckoo with that voice in his head."

Merida shot a glare at him. "There's something called Will O' the Wisps where I come from, it led me to my fate. Think it's nonsense? Think again."
