Hey y'all! I just wanted to know, if you were in this story would you be part of the resistance, the ghetto smugglers or the Nazi's? Anyway sorry for not uploading for ages, I had a real block. I'm back to England now, so I'll have WiFi again and I'll be able to upload! Thank you for being patient and for all those lovely reviews 3 Sorry this chappie is a bit emotional, tell me what you think! Enjoy!
'Stop.'
As soon as Elsa heard those words and saw the German Officer she knew it was over. The children and Grandma Odie would be shot immediately; Aurora sent to prison, and herself and Esmeralda…she didn't even want to think about it. So she concentrated on the man, on his blue twinkling eyes, his beard, the gun strapped across his back and tried to think herself that it wouldn't be that hard to just run him over. Just when she was going to press the pedal Aurora rolled down her window and grinned at the man.
'Phoebus! What are you doing here?' She exclaimed. Elsa frowned, watching as the Nazi man hugged Aurora through the window. Esmeralda opened the truck for a few seconds and the man kissed her hard on the lips, before the doors slammed shut.
'I came to see my girls off.' Phoebus said with a light smile.
'I am so his girl' Grandma Odie's voice came from the back of the truck.
'It's dangerous for you to be here' Aurora said, looking around.
'Calm down, they wont notice. Here, I got you guys this.' He thrust a bundle full of food into Aurora's lap.
'Phoebus, are you sur…' Aurora started but he cut her off with a sharp gesture.
'Absolutely. I get more food than most of you anyway. Though Esme looks like she's been having more then you lot lately' His eyes turned to Elsa. 'You must be the new one. I'm Phoebus Knight, Aurora's brother and Esme's fiancé. Pleasure to meet you.' They shook hands through the window and Elsa felt relief flood over her finally. This was the third Nazi that turned out to be a kind person with a conscience and not a bastard with wicked intent.
Just when Elsa thought that the world wasn't such a cruel place she hear it. The unmistakable, loud, horrible sound of a gunshot that followed Elsa around since she was thirteen and became and orphan. The same sound that was present during practice, when she was running away from soldiers. The same sound that echoed over the walls of the ghetto like a never ending melancholic music that people were forced to dance to.
There was a bright flash of blood and Phoebus grabbed his arm, his face twisting in pain.
'Soldat! Aufhören!' Elsa could see the nearing soldiers, their guns pointed, shouting harsh words echoed by gunshots. 'Drive!' Phoebus ordered. 'Driver before they discover your identity.' 'NO!' Aurora bellowed. 'No, Phoebus, get in!' 'DRIVE.' Phoebus looked straight at Elsa but she couldn't move. She watched helplessly as the bullets shot past him – no, through him – leaving his shirt ragged and red. Aurora screamed but Esmeralda quickly snapped into action. She hopped out of the van and yelled over her shoulder for Aurora to give Elsa directions where to go as she hauled the bleeding Phoebus into the truck and shut the door. Elsa ground the pedal.
The forest might have been one of the more obvious places but that's where Aurora ordered Elsa to stop the truck. The three of the girls hauled Phoebus out on the grass, while Grandma Odie stayed in the truck. The man was very pale, his hair seeming yellow against his skin. His breathing was ragged and his eyelids kept fluttering shut.
'Phoebus, hey, hey, stay with me' Esmeralda whispered to him, gentling slapping his face, her green eyes glassy. 'Pho, don't close your eyes.'
Phoebus's opened his eyes with effort.
'Esme?'
'Yeah. Yeah, it's me. You're going to be okay.'
Liar.
'You're crying' Phoebus said, wiping her cheek with his thumb.
'I'm not' Esme shook her head and forced a smile, pressing his hand to her cheek.
Liar.
Phoebus took a deep breath and lowered his hand to his bleeding chest, wincing slightly. Esmeralda and Aurora weren't doing anything to his wounds. It was too late.
'Y-you were so brave, bro' Aurora chocked out through her tears.
'So were you, Sis.' Phoebus smiled weakly. Aurora made eye contact with Esmeralda who nodded.
'Phoebus. Pho, I need to tell you something.' She whispered. She smiled, truly, through her tears down at him. 'We're going to have a baby.'
'What?' Phoebus's eyes widened as much as they could in his state.
'You're gonna be a dad.' Esmeralda repeated. Aurora clapped her hands and said 'congratulations', while wiping at her face.
'If it's a girl can we call her Andala?' Phoebus asked.
'I am not naming my girl Andala.' Esmeralda laughed.
'Pretty Please?'
'Alright. What if it's a boy?'
'I'll let you decide.'
'Okay' Esmeralda touched Phoebus's cheek. 'Why don't you rest a while?'
'Sounds good. Love ya, Esme.'
'Love ya too, Pho.' Esmeralda whispered. Phoebus smiled, like he was really going to take a nap, and closed his eyes and died.
The clatter of guns against the floor echoed painfully in Anna's eyes and she wanted to yell 'don't listen to him!' like all the annoying heroines in movies, but it was too late.
'Now, which one of you is the leader of the resistance? I just happened to find out it's not Miss Elsa.' Flynn said venomously. North stepped forward without hesitation.
'It's me.' He said.
'North. Shut up.' Anna hissed but North ignored her.
'What do you want?' North demanded.
'All of you rounded up in a cell with your brains blown out against the wall.' Flynn shrugged, like he was asking for a chocolate bar.
'And if we don't listen to you, you will kill Anna?' North asked.
'Yes I will' Flynn said firmly.
'No you want, you big asshole.' Rapunzel rolled her eyes from behind him before hitting the back of his head with the butt of her gun. He crumpled to the ground, his eyes rolling, his hands releasing Anna who jerked back. 'Sweet Dreams.' Rapunzel looked at the resistance. 'We leaving or what?'
Esmeralda wiped the last of her tears from her face and stood up. Only then did Elsa notice the slight bump on her stomach. Esmeralda motioned for Aurora to stand up and she did, much less gracefully, with snot and tears running down her face.
'W-what do we do now?' Elsa asked, a lump in her throat. Phoebus was alive just a few minutes before and now…
'We finish what we started – we smuggle the children out of town.' Esmeralda said and not blinking and eye produced a small bottle of oil from her pocket. She poured it over the body of her beloved and threw a blazing match on top. Phoebus was enveloped in flames.
'Goodbye, Pho.' Esmeralda whispered, turning her back on the body and walking to the van.
'Goodbye, bro.' Aurora followed Esmeralda.
'Goodbye, my boy' Grandma Odie called in her raspy, old lady voice.
Elsa, uncertain of what to do, faced the flames quickly.
'Goodbye, Phoebus' she said. She climbed into the driver's seat and drove away.
GOODBYE FEELS! Oh God. Anyways, Review and tell me what you want to see in future chapters. Yes, I know, MORE Jelsa. We all want that ;)
