CHAPTER 7

The ice princess

"Johan, grab Alexis and run," screamed Amy as she pulled out a few shurikens from her belt.

It was beginning to snow now and it was starting to get cold..

"But I can't," he protested, turning to face her with a worried look on his face "I can't just leave you to fight that thing all on your own. That'll mean you'd - "

"Shut up, Johan and get going!" she yelled, as she smiled at him lightly "If I'm gonna go down I'll go down fighting and besides, I've never been beaten before so why start now. Take Alexis back to the camp and tell the others to move before the danger arrives, I'll catch up to you guys later. And you better look after her!"

Tears started to well in Johan's eyes and before he knew it he had wrapped his arms around her and was hugging her to death. Amy smiled and hugged him and Alexis back with a few specks of tears sliding down her eyes.

"Go on. Get outta here you two! You're gonna make me cry! I'll catch up with ya later. Go on you guys, scram!"

Johan grabbed Alexis' hand and ran through the forest, knowing that Amy would kill him if he stuck around to help her. He pumped his muscles as he ran at minimum speed so that Alexis could keep up with him, but soon she was beginning to tier. She tried to push herself on, but it was no use trying and soon her legs felt like jelly and she fell to the floor.

"I can't go on, Johan," huffed Alexis as she let go of his hand "I'm too tiered, I feel like I could just faint."

The bluette looked down at her with concern, then picked her up onto his back and started to run.

"We have to keep going," he said "we have to escape and warn the others and quick!"

He ran without paying any attention to where they were and soon had to pay the price. The hissing had started again. It was closer now – too close. And then the monster struck. Johan immediately jumped into one of the branches in the trees with his grip on Alexis tightening. He looked around for what had attacked them, but instead found a huge amount of snakes below the trees, making their way up.

"Johan, what's going on?" asked Alexis, tightening her grip around his neck.

But instead of answering Johan jumped of the tree and ran at a completely different direction. He knew that they had to get out of there and quick. He didn't know what had attacked them back there, but was sure it was something powerful and he wasn't feeling fit enough to fight it off like he usually did.

Johan came to halt when the hissing came the direction he ran in.

'Great!' he thought 'Now I'm totally confused and I'm so gonna die. Come on, Johan. Think you dumb ass.'

"Alexis, I'm gonna be honest with ya," he yelled so she could hear him over the hissing "I think we're gonna die."

"You think so?" she asked sarcastically

"I know so."

"Figures."

"Coz what ever is making that noise is gonna kill us in a few minutes or so."

Suddenly, the monster struck once again, but this time Johan got a good look at it as he dodged it. It was a huge, slithery green snake with three heads and yellow hypnotizing eyes. Its huge tongues flickered in and out creating the exact noises they'd heard earlier. Johan gazed at it for a second, but when Alexis hit his head he knocked out of his trance and ran for his and Alexis' dear lives. The snake followed closely behind him.

"Hold on tight. I'm gonna hit full speed."

Alexis' grip tightened even more, almost making Johan chock. Johan's speed increased rapidly and before Alexis knew it she couldn't she anything around her clearly. Instead she buried her head into Johan's back and kept it there.

Johan pumped his muscles hard and ran as fast as he could. He came to an immediate halt when they suddenly came to the edge of a high cliff, where the forest ended. He looked down and could see a small peaceful village with little houses. He hadn't noticed that the snow below his feet had thickened and that he was beginning to freeze until now. The snow was falling at a steady pace as Johan watched it. Each drop hit the ground and all of them together glistened from the moonlight above.

Johan slowly dropped Alexis onto the ground and smiled at her.

"Beautiful, eh?" he asked her.

"Yeah, it's so beautiful," she whispered as she wrapped her arms around him "I wonder what's down there. It looks like the little town of Bethlehem or something."

Johan could feel his face heat up as she moved closer to him, but nodded in agreement. The small peaceful moment was soon broken when the snake slithered towards them as it knocked down a tree. The tree was about to fall onto Alexis. However, Johan pushed her away and tried to dodge it, but one of the branches caught the material of his shirt on his left sleeve and the tree landed on his left arm. He roared in pain as he could feel it break. Alexis ran to his aid, avoiding one of the blows from the snake as she did. The snake came after her, but she found that it had frozen in its place. She looked towards Johan who was using his right arm to cast a quick spell at the snake.

"It's a freezing spell," he moaned in pain, trying to lift the tree to get his arm out "It only last's for about five minutes and can only be used during the day of a full moon. Help me out here will ya, Alexis?"

"Yeah, sure," said Alexis.

She walked up to the tree put her hands below it and chanted a few words under her breath, which she learned from Johan during Christmas. The tree lifted itself into the air and was soon out of sight. Alexis helped Johan on to his feet and he tried to hobble away with her before the snake woke up, but it already had. It struck out its head and hit him square on his back sending him flying forward with Alexis. Johan struggled to his feet with his left arm, dead on his side and made a ball of fire with his right hand then threw it right at the monster. The snake roared in pain, but struck out its head again, but this time it pushed Johan into a tree, trying to squeeze the life out of him.

Alexis made a few hand signs and directed an ice attack towards the snake, knocking it on to it's back. Johan got up and rubbed his neck with his right arm, then got up and ran with Alexis close behind him.

"We gotta get rid of that thing," he screamed, back at her.

"But your arm's broken, Johan!"

"I'll manage!"

The snake was behind them again, but this time they were both ready. Johan made a small fireball while Alexis made an ice ball and they both threw it right at the monster in front of them. The snake when flying back into the trees behind it with a huge amount of bloodstains appearing on its body. Then it lay still. Alexis held in her breath hoping with all her heart that the monster was dead. She grabbed Johan's left arm by accident and he let out a small, painful moan.

"I'm sorry," She whispered.

Johan nodded and smiled at her.

"Just try not to do it again – it hurt."

His green eyes were turning a metallic green in colour and his fangs had grown slightly. They both turned their attention back to the snake and a hard breathing noise could be heard from it.

"It's alive." Said Johan, standing up.

Then snake got up and started to roar, then the roar slowly turned into a hiss. A devilish look crossed the snake's eyes and it struck out at the two teens yet again. Johan tried to make a fireball and throw it, but the snake had grabbed him with its tail and was squeezing the life out of him. Johan tried to brake away, but found it beyond himself to do so with a broken arm. Instead he sunk his teeth into the snake's body and it immediately released Johan, who feel to the floor with a thud.

"Johan!" Alexis screamed, running up to him "Come on get up."

Johan slowly got up with Alexis' help but his vision was beginning to blur.

'Great, I'm gonna faint in a sec' he thought 'I've gotta act.'

He stretched his uninjured arm in front of him and suddenly a huge fire vortex formed around the snake. It roared in pain and soon it was nothing, but a piece of burnt meat.

Johan let his arm fall to his side and fell to his knees.

"Johan! Are you all right? What's wrong?"

Alexis fired so many questions at him, but he couldn't answer them. He was too exhausted. He just wanted to fall to the ground and fall asleep. He could feel himself slowly losing his consciousness and soon he hit the ground.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pain. That's all he could feel. Johan moaned and turned over in his nice comfortable bed.

Bed?

Johan immediately got up and looked around. His arm was bandaged up and put in a sling and he was in a completely different environment. He was in a small house with a straw like roof. The room was consisting of a single bed, a few cupboards, a few drawers and some knitting stuff by the table.

Johan looked down at himself and found that he wasn't in his normal attire. He wore a black full sleeve hooded to with blue pants falling half way between his ankle and knee and a black chocker. Johan tried to move his arm, but found that it was still in no condition to be moved.

The door slowly opened and in came Alexis carrying a small pill of wood. She smiled at his and came over to him.

"How're you feeling?" she asked, sitting on the side of his bed, "You've been out for about three days straight."

"Three days!" he gaped "No joke!… By the way where are we?"

"When you were injured I tried to find a place to get you to and I found a man named Edward and his granddaughter. I asked them to help so they brought us here. This is their home."

Johan smiled and tried to move his broken arm, but knew that it wasn't going to heal anytime soon. He asked if he could help Alexis around the house, but she made sure that he got a good amount of rest. Edward and his granddaughter had gone out of the village for a while to see their relatives about something important and left Alexis in charge – putting all their faith in her. Alexis told Johan that they'd be back in a few days or so then got out the pill of wood from before and put them into the fireplace. The rest of the day went by with Johan trying to escape his bed rest, but getting caught by Alexis.

"I just wanna go out is all," he whimpered "I hate being stuck in one place for long."

Alexis sighed and walked up to him.

"We'll got out before dinner," she said, "besides it's snowing outside today, so it'll be a more beautiful view at night, okay?"

Johan grumbled a small yes and soon went to sleep only to wake up a few hours after, when Alexis was cooking. After she'd finished cooking she helped Johan to his feet and helped him get fitted into a warm brown fury coat while he instead that he could do it on his own. Then Johan pulled on his black sneakers and soon both of them were out the door. Alexis' hood was over her head protecting her from the cold, while Johan didn't bother to put his on even with Alexis' complaints.

"I'm fine, Alexis," he'd reassure her "I'm a vampire. I don't get cold easily."

They both kept walking with their shoes crippling the white snow beneath their feet. Neither said much, but Alexis made sure Johan was all right. When they both got to the location in a huge ground filled with snow and white frosted trees, they sat down on a bench nearby and admired the beautiful view.

"It's so beautiful, right Johan?" she asked, slipping her hand into his "It's just like the other day, right?"

Johan smiled at her.

"Yeah, it's beautiful all right," he grinned as a small blush crept onto his cheeks.

Johan looked at the view in front of him, trying his best not to concentrate on Alexis, knowing that he'd get the urge to kiss her across her soft, tender lips.

Alexis could feel her blood rushing to her face as she sat next to him and her heart began pounding against her chest so hard she thought it would burst out anytime soon. She tried her best not lock eyes with him, but soon their eyes met and Johan could feel his mouth go dry.

I'm tuggin' at my hair
I'm pullin' at my clothes
I'm tryin' to keep my cool
I know it shows

I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
And i'm searching for the words inside my head

Cuz I'm feeling nervous
Tryin' to be so perfect
'Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it
Yeah.

Alexis could feel herself getting the urge to kiss him and soon she couldn't control it. Her head started to move towards his and his started to move towards hers with their eyes closed.

If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want to blow you--away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could see what I want to see
I want to see you go down--on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say

It don't do me any good it's just a waste of time
What use is it to you what's on my mind?
If it ain't comin' out, we're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care?

Johan's heart was starting to speed up as he got closed to her. He didn't know what was wrong with him. Was he falling for her? He couldn't control what was going on, so instead he just let it happen. Alexis was undergoing exactly the same thoughts. She loved Jaden not Johan. Or at least that's what she thought.

Their faces were only inches away from meeting now. Alexis could feel Johan's warm breath against face and Johan could her breath against his face. There was only a few centimetres gap between their lips, now and soon it was only a millimetre distance apart. Johan could feel his lips slowly brush against hers, but before they could get any further someone started yelling from a far distance behind them.

They both turned around and found a figure running towards them, wearing a huge coat, which feel down to the person's knees, and the hood covered their face. The person was yelling something, with another few slowly trailing behind.

"Hey! Private Lexi! We finally found you!" Came a familiar voice.

Alexis stood up and gasped as the figure stopped in front of her with their hood still on.

"Hassleberry!" she gaped as the figure pulled the hood back to reveal her dino friend.

"That's right."

Alexis smiled and lightly hugged him.

"I know you'd make it," she said happily, but then looked around and saw that her brother Atticus and her friend Mindy weren't there. Her smile slowly fell, "Is Atticus and Mindy with you, Hassleberry?"

But before Hassleberry could answer her question, someone had struck out at Johan and pulled him down to the floor. Alexis ran to the person and tried to pull them away from Johan, but they hit her away. Johan tried to shove the new hooded figure away from him, but they had grabbed him by the cuff of his shirt then punched him all across his torso. He tried to punch the figure, but the person grabbed his left broken arm before he could and a painful howl escaped his lips.

"Let Johan go!" Alexis roared, reaching for the any part of the person's coat so that she could pull him away from Johan.

She grabbed the person's hood and pulled it back. Then she gaped at the person standing in front of her. It was her big brother Atticus. Atticus glared down at Johan who was down on the snow filled ground and went up to kick him, but Alexis stopped him. Johan directed an attack a punch right in Atticus' face and soon the fight between the two boys continued.

"Johan, stop," she said, worriedly, getting in between the two boys "Atticus is just my big brother. He means no harm."

Johan's fierce attitude soon disappeared and he lowered his raised fist.

"Oh, sorry," he said, sheepishly, "I didn't know."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Alexis, along with Johan directed Atticus, Mindy and Hassleberry back to the house. Everyone slowly settled in and Alexis asked her brother to fill her in on how they managed to survive in the Demonta and where they ended up, while she put Johan's arm into a sling. Atticus told her that they woke up and found themselves in the middle of a land full of ice and soon they found a cottage where they managed to stay for a while. They then left and went looking for Alexis, surviving on some dead animals or berries if they crossed and forests.

"It was one of the most toughest moments of my life," sighed Atticus, "Enough about us, Alexis. What about you?"

Alexis filled her brother in on what had happened when he wasn't around. Like the time when she made new friends in the Demonta, joined together and went looking for Jaden. Atticus' gaze slowly shifted to Johan and turned into a hard glare full of hatred.

"Err…Lexi," he began "Is there anything else you wanna tell me?" Atticus' eyes shifted back to Alexis then back at Johan again "You know like a few new people you've met and your relationship with them."

Alexis followed Atticus' gaze, which was directing at Johan.

"Atticus, what are you on about?"

Atticus shifted in his seat and looked down at his feet.

"You know. Has he done anything to you?" Atticus nodded towards Johan who had a confused look on his face.

"What?" Alexis asked, also confused.

Hassleberry laughed slightly then looked at Alexis and told her what he meant.

"Privet Lexi, he thinks Johan's taken advantage of you and you sort of let him coz you're confused about your feelings or something."

"WHAT?!" Both Alexis and Johan screamed as they got up.

Hassleberry fell back in his chair with the huge amount of shock while Atticus started silently at the two. Alexis looked down at her brother in shock; she couldn't believe he didn't trust her with Johan. Johan would never do anything to harm her. He'd always risked his life to save hers as a really good friend.

"Atticus, I can't believe you," Alexis began "I thought you'd at least have started to trust me, but I guess you never did."

"Look, Alexis, this isn't about not trusting you it's about not trusting him," Atticus pointed a shaking finger at Johan "I don't like you one bit, Anderson. Got that."

Johan looked up at Atticus and smirked.

"Heard ya loud and clear," Johan, said, "I can't believe you. Number one: why'd I wanna take advantage of my own friend? Number two: why'd I wanna take advantage of any girl in that matter. And number three: WHAT KINDA LOW LIFE DO YA THINK I AM!"

"A very low one."

"What was that?"

The two boys argued into the night as Alexis watched with tears in her eyes. She felt like crying. She couldn't believe that her own brother wouldn't trust her. Then who would? She could feel her eyes stinging and slowly looked away as tears started to flood down them. And Johan immediately stopped arguing with Atticus and turned to give her some support.

How was that chapter, huh?

Good, bad, ugly?

Needs improvement!

Think it's way too cool beyond words?

Review and you'll get a happy chocolate bar of doom!

MWAHAHA!
