Out of the sea

Chapter 17

We reached the parking lot, our face apparent of disappointment.

Hiccup fished out a set of keys in his left pocket and clicked a button.

His car sounded off indicating that it was opened. We were about to open it when a blurry features blast before us.

"Help! He stole my purse! Somebody." A woman screamed pointing at the man who passed by us. Hiccup bravely run after the  person, who was holding a small purse with him. While Merida was comforting the woman, rubbing her back and whispering to her.

Hiccup was gone for about half an hour and it was getting dark. Where was he? Where could he be? Did something happened to him? Gods. I hope not.

I was about to follow their trails when a shadowy figure appeared.
For a moment I thought it was the thief who stole the woman's purse . Maybe it wanted more than just the purse.

The beam of light from a post illuminated his face. I sighed in relief. It was Hiccup. Panting and sweating. Thank the Gods!

He leaned on the post catching his breath.

"What happened? Did you get it back?" I asked.

He stared at me for a while then smiled. The purse swaying from his hands. He came towards us still panting.

The woman rushed over to him sending him kisses to both his cheeks. I notice a pink stain on them.

"Thank you! Thank you so much young man! What can I do in return!" The woman smiled happily.

"Uh.. it was nothing really. I just wanted to help." Hiccup lowered his face from embarrassment.

"No no no. You helped me and now I will help you. Here's my card if you need anything." She rummage her bag and found what she was looking. She gave Hiccup the card and gave him another kiss in the cheek then left.

He walked towards us while scratching the back of his head. A tinge of pink spreading on his cheeks. "Well she was nice."

"And that was weird. Now come on. It's already dark." Merida slammed her door shut, glaring at nothing in particular.

Hiccup looked at me in confusion. "What's wrong with her?"

I shrugged. Haven't had the slightest idea either.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

We finally arrived home. I shut the door to the car, leaving Hiccup and Merida to have some time alone and went straight ahead to the living room, looking for Elsa. Yet she wasn't there. The couch was empty.

Then I heard soft laughs coming from the kitchen. I made my way through the hall and saw Elsa and Jack talking or more like laughing.

Jack was leaning on the counter while Elsa was sitting on the table in front of him, drinking Hot choco from a mug. She was also wearing one of Merida's shirt and a black short.

A fit of laughter exploded from both of them.

I cleared my throat. "I see that you both are now acquainted."

Both their heads snapped to my direction, wanting to know who disrupt their happy moment.

"Oh. Hey Rapunzel." Jack says.
