So, a bit of author's note. I'll let you guys know that English isn't my first language, and I don't have any beta reader. Bad English plus no beta readers equal bad writing. So I'm sorry if there's any grammar mistakes, spelling errors, or something like that.

It's inevitable, sometimes I'm just too lazy to fix my mistakes! But it's not something a good review can't fix, amirite? *wink*

Hiccup pressed his ear to the basement entrance door of the hospital, there was no moaning or horrible choking heard. He nodded to Anna, which gestured for her that it was clear. "Just keep cautious." He warned her.

"Right…" She replied, her finger twitched on the trigger of her Fedorov as she lift it up.

Hiccup opens the door slowly, which resulted in a long loud creak. He bit his lower lips in wary, the switchblade sprung on his left hand while the other held a revolver. Everywhere he sees was dark, there was no light source except from the back door but that was limited, but by the looks of it Anna and Hiccup had entered the emergency room. And the only visible things in sight were flashes.

"You have some flashlight?" Hiccup whispered to Anna behind him.

"I have a lighter." Anna went to her back pocket and pulled out a small silver cigarette zippo lighter.

Hiccup flicked it open, the fire was dim but enough to reveal the whole room. There were hospital beds scattered from where they are supposed to be, the bed curtains were some opened and some closed and the other was torn down mysteriously. He walk through the medical objects on the floor carefully not stepping on anything, he scanned the room for some box of sutures but didn't find any. Instead what he found were bottles of alcohol tinctures were placed on a nearby table.

"Ever made a Molotov cocktail?" Hiccup muttered.

"No. But I know how though." Anna replied softly, her voice trailed away as a distant clunk was heard.

The soft sound made them both jump, Hiccup pressed his finger on his lips telling her to keep quiet. He walked first, trying to make his footstep sounded the smallest possible. He lifted the zippo lighter on top of him and saw that on the corner of the room was another door, it was green but the paint looked like it had been scratched over and over again.

Again, Hiccup pressed his ear to the door, no sound. He jiggled the handle a few times but no good results, "Locked…" He muttered.

"Now what?" Anna hissed in irritation.

"I think I can jiggle it open, I just need a few tools." Hiccup whispered.

"Can't we just kick the heck out of it?"

"We don't know what's behind it." Hiccup said grimly, he thought of Astrid that time though, how she would kick the door open even if he had said not to. He shook his fist frustratingly, "Fine, we can kick it open." He finally conceded.

He is considering the decision, fearing for the worst outcomes of that particular decision. What if something wrong happened? What if there was like, a hundred Walkers just waiting on the other side.

"Are you sure?" Anna raised her eyebrow, hesitating to move as well.

"Wait, let me just…" Hiccup then knocked his pistol on the metal green door a few times, the sound was loud enough for anything in the other side to hear. Amazingly there was no answer, and no banging at the door from the other side.

Hiccup walked back a bit, he adjusted the aim and kicked his right leg to the center of the door. It didn't budge. "Hold on, I think I kicked at the wrong place." Hiccup stepped back and kicked it again, this time at the lock side of the door.

"Hey!" Anna suddenly said.

Hiccup swiveled and look at her with a cocked eyebrow.

"It's supposed to open outwards." Anna pointed at the hinge on the door.

Hiccup stared at door with the face of agony. "Well, now what?"

"Let's see…" Anna stood beside him to get a closer look, she pointed her Fedorov at the lock. "Do you think it would work?" She asked for confirmation.

Hiccup only raised his shoulders, shrugging. But it needed to work, for Astrid. "Just do it…"

Anna didn't change her mind, she fired a bullet to the lock. The gunshot rang across every possible room in the hospital, Hiccup felt a little uncomfortable with it.

"It didn't break…" Anna muttered angrily, looking at the almost broken lock.

"But I think it worked, can… Can we try that again? You do have more magazines for it, right?" Hiccup asked to lighten her up.

"Yeah, alright. I think I have one more with Elsa." She lifted the gun again, she fired at it for two times until finally they heard the lock fell to the floor, the door swung slowly towards their direction.

Hiccup was speechless from the outcome, "Ladies first?" He joked.

Anna glared at him for a few seconds, Hiccup immediately walked quickly through the door and avoided her gaze.

Once on the other side, he raised the lighter just above his head. It was a short hallway that was used for some kind of waiting room, in the end he could see the glass panels that was used as the front door. The sunlight that hit it from the other side was blocked by the metal folding door, only little rays of sun made through the gap.

"Where's the stairs?" Hiccup asked Anna, looking around the rather large lobby.

"Just on the corner at the other room." Anna pointed.

Hiccup nodded and walked first, he entered the check in room. He could see a bit clearly with the lighter plus the sun rays, the seats were still tidy and not trashed, but the counter had one of its computers hacked and sliced.

Like Anna said, there are stairs leading up from across the room. Hiccup gestured to Anna to follow him, he led her up the stairs, it was a stairwell and it keeps going up.

"Any parts of the hospital I need to know? Where's the surgery room?" Hiccup asked.

"I… Actually don't know. I'm not a staff so Elsa never gave me, like, access to that kind of thing." Anna said softly.

"Odin… Do you know where else we could find medical things?" Hiccup began to say quickly.

"It's a suture line, it's used for surgeries..." Anna said.

Hiccup thought for a moment. "What about the storing room? Anywhere upstairs?"

"There is one in the second floor, just a few flights." Anna explained.

"Alright, anything else?" Hiccup asked again, for precautions.

"Not from what I know, if there's anyone dead and walking I think we can cover it." Anna assured.

Hiccup climbed first, just as he thought, there are no Walkers as far as they have seen. Then he arrived at the second floor, he tilted the lighter left and right, and saw a double metal door who had been painted with words just a few steps on his left.

Anna arrived beside him, she took a long hard look at the words when she noticed it. "Don't Dead Open Inside?"

"No, it says Don't Open, Dead Inside. You... You read it from top to bottom." Hiccup corrected sheepishly, Anna didn't seem to care and just waltz away.

He left the door as well, because there seemed to be no dead inside. He followed her from behind, lighter and pistol still at his hand.

"Through here, I think." Anna told him, going in to the double doors.

When he followed her to the other side, it wasn't actually the best sight to look at. It could've been the surgery room or staff hallway, but it had a couple of dead bodies covered in white bloody sheets. The smell was almost unrecognizable, must be because it was exposed from the heat from time to time.

The lighter wasn't actually needed anymore, the windows were all opened letting sunlight inside the whole room.

"Ugh, I'm never getting used to this…" Anna said, holding back vomit.

"Tell me about it…" Hiccup muttered, not taking a look at any corpse. "Were you guys missed quarantine back in the day? Or did the military exterminated all the people here?"

Anna tilted her head at him. "Exterminated? What do you mean by that?"

"Back in Berk, my city, it was hell when the outbreak started. The military put Berk under extermination, to reduce the virus's chances from spreading to the world, only Astrid and I survived. Well, at least that's what I thought." Hiccup rested both hands on his hips, thinking back to his past. "I mean, I'd like to think that maybe more people had survived. You know?"

Anna only stared at him. "Really? Is that what happened?"

"Yeah, that's my story." Hiccup admitted, he actually felt comfortable to talk about everything he had been through. "Then, I got bit and my leg got cut, I met a power hungry leader, and I've got my peg-leg on!" Hiccup pointed both arms at his metal and wood.

Anna couldn't actually think of anything else. "Look, let's just get this medicine. 'Kay?"

Hiccup paused before nodding in acceptance, he followed behind her as she led the way.

After a few minutes Anna stopped, she was standing in front of a door. "It's just over here... Aren't you coming in?"

"What?! You're the one with the gun!" Hiccup hissed at her.

"Oh come on, if there was something we should have heard it." Anna said, ignoring his denial.

"We definitely heard something!" Hiccup countered.

"I thought it was just my imagination." Anna put her arms on her hips.

"Oh yeah? Then why don't you go in first?"

"Because, I got principles..." Anna quipped, then it faltered quickly. "Turns out I can't live by them..."

Hiccup stared confusedly. "What does that supposed to mean?"

"Fine, I'll go in first. But if anything attacks me, it's on... AAGH!" Anna yelped loudly, a cat just sprung out of the room and ran through their feet. Then it disappeared out of sight.

Hiccup watched as it disappeared from sight, he turned to Anna as she was breathing hard and touching the handle as she gained her balance. "Whuh... What the... What was that?"

"That was a cat." Hiccup said calmly, he walked past her so he could get inside. "I'll check insides first from now on..."

He moved his head left and right, the afternoon sunlight showed a lot of medical items being put neatly on their shelves. Then he turned to Anna. "Can you find me the sutures?"

"How am supposed to know?!..." Anna gasped for air, then she slid down the wall and sat on her rear. "I need to lie down..."

"Keep yourself in there, champ..." Hiccup muttered loudly.

He walked past a few shelves and boxes, he turned around the corner and walked towards the cabinet. He saw a lot of sterile and unwrapped sutures and needles, he isn't really a doctor so he didn't know which sutures go with the right line because each box had different colors, but it was for Astrid's sake so he took one of each colors.

Hiccup turned to Anna. "You need something?"

"Just find me some water, kay?" She called from the door.

Hiccup looked around, he did found some water bottles stacked neatly on top of one shelf. But he realized he needed something to carry all these items.

"Is there any bag I could use?" Hiccup called to Anna.

"There's plastic bags underneath the cabinet, each size for each purpose." Anna said, Hiccup heard her muttered something like, "Each size for each purpose… Heh… That was dorky..."

Hiccup saw a small drawer under it, he pulled out one long plastic bag and put everything useful inside it. He might need some food, once he saw an MRE bag he could not resist.

Anna saw him walk past her. "Alright, let's go. Can you stand up?" Hiccup said.

Anna pushed her legs up. "Yeah, I can manage."

"Alright, let's get out of here." Hiccup said before turning his back on her.

"Wait, I need to ask you something." Anna suddenly said, earning a raised eyebrow from Hiccup. "So… You're not actually military, then?"

Hiccup shook his head. "Nope, just a bunch of survivors."

"Then how did you get a helicopter?"

"We kind of hijacked one, that's how we escaped the power hungry leader." Hiccup scratched the back of his neck. "What's your story, anyway?"

Like Anna said before, she didn't wanted to talk about it. Her past was rather to disturbing, but it was fair to share hers now that Hiccup had told his. Maybe she could leave a few details, right?

See you in the next chapter!
