When We Freeze

Where are we even going?

"Aiden," I drag out my words, "how long have we been walking?"

My legs feel as if they are going to cramp up and I know I look like a sweaty pig.

"Where are we even goingggg," I whine. 

He looks at me from over his shoulder with a cocky smirk on his face, "only like 4 hours."

I freeze, "what?"

He stops and turns to me, "only like 4 h-"

"I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME!!" I throw my hands into the air. 

He raises an eyebrow, "you good?"

I make a sort of harrumph noise, "NO I AM MOST CERTAINLY NOT GOOD!!" I plop myself onto the ground in the middle of the road, "I am tired, I am boiling, My wrist really hurts, my legs feel like they're going to fall off and I'm really, really hungry!"

He sits down next to me, "you done?"

"Well!... Yes," I cross my arms over my chest.

"We can go to some sort of restaurant? If you're hungry?" He stands up and offers his hand.

"But everyone's frozen," I glare at his hand, but he doesn't pull away.

He shrugs, "we'll make some food from the kitchen."

I'm still glaring at his hand, "but isn't that stealing?"

He looks down at me and says, "Nah, let's just call it borrowing."

"But-" I begin.

But Aiden interrupts, "unless you don't want food and we can keep wal-"

"No, no, no! It's ok," I grab hold of his hand and pull myself up off the ground. 

I go to pull my hand away but Aiden holds on, "what's that on your hand?"

I quickly pocket my hand, "n-nothing."

He raises an eyebrow, "that sure as hell wasn't n-nothing," he mocks me.

I roll my eyes as he tries to get my hand out of my pocket, "it's just some sort of burn," I use as an excuse.

He finally grabs my hand and pulls it towards his face, "what the hell is that?"

He looks at my bubbling skin.

"Is this why you're sweating so much?" He wipes sweat from my brow. 

Um, ew. 

"No," I pull away, "it's because we've been walking for 4 bloody hours!" 

He feels my forehead, "you have a fever."

"Look I'm fi-" I start choking and grasping at my throat.

"Oh my god, Issy!" He pales over.

I stop and smile, "kidding."

He scoffs at me, "seriously? That F*cking scared the shit out of me."

I laugh. 

"Oh, you think that was funny?" He asks as I start laughing harder.

"Y-yeah," I say between laughs.

"Oh yeah?" He wraps his arms around my waist and throws me over and onto his shoulder. All I can see is back.

I keep laughing as he starts running towards a restaurant. 

"S-stop p-put me d-down!" I think I've snorted like eight times. 

He carries me right through the front door of the restaurant then he freezes. 

I stop laughing, "what's the matter?"

"Shh," he places me down and behind him, "someone is here."

I freeze as I hear people talking down the hall. 

That's when every window and glass thing smashes in this tiny restaurant.

Aiden's arms come over me as glass scatters everywhere. We fall to the ground. 

It's silent, all you can hear is our breathing. 

"Are you ok Is?" He asks getting off me and hopping up, he helps me up.

"Yeah, are you?" I brush off the stray glass. My legs are a bit-sliced and scratched but I'll survive. 

"Yeah, just a few scratches but nothing too bad," He brushes glass from my hair. 

That's when I hear this ear-splitting noise, "ahh," I drop to the ground holding my head. 

I scream as the pain increases. 

"Issy! Issy! What's the matter? What's going on?" Aiden sounds so distant. 

I'm shaking on the ground screaming. My hand burns where that bloody bastard of a creature. 

That's when everything just goes black. At least the pain is gone...
