I Was Just Going to Dance Class!
Part 2
"Wake up!" Brianna's sleep was interrupted by a harsh whisper. 'What?" she said groggily. "Pierre?" she then asked hopefully. "No," he said, his voice softening as he began to feel sorry for her. She opened her eyes fully and started to recognize the figure in front of her. She looked down and noticed a fireplace for the first time. He had lit a fire in it, knowing that his very presence in the room would drop the temperature drastically.
"How did you sleep?" Sub-Zero asked her quietly. He felt bad for being mean to her the day before. "Where am I?" she asked him. "In your room," he told her. "Oh, yeah. The ninja palace place," she muttered.
"I brought you some breakfast," he told her in what she guessed was a cheery voice. He walked over to the table and picked up a tray, brought it over to the bed and placed it on her lap.
"Your training begins tomorrow," he reminded her. "What training?" she asked him as she picked up her purse and pulled a brush out of it. "Your training to become a fighter," he told her in a tone that said Duh. "Wait a minute. I may be tough, but I don't fight."
"If Rayden says you must fight, then you must fight," Sub-Zero insisted. "Who exactly are we fighting?" "Shang Tsung and his warriors," he replied with bitterness in his voice.
Brianna was tired of asking questions at the moment, so she continued to eat her soup and brush her hair.
"How do I get home?" Brianna asked him. "You don't get to go home. This is your home," he said, trying to comfort her. He watched as tears started to form in her eyes. "But…can't I go back the way I came here?" her voice was getting desperate. Sub-Zero sighed. "You don't understand," shed told him, her voice getting stronger and wiping away a tear. "I have to go home. I have my friends and my family waiting for me. I can't stay here!" she sobbed on her last sentence. Not knowing what to do, Sub-Zero hesitantly put his arm around her as the weeping figure cried into his chest.
"Here," he said to her. 'Watch this," he smiled. He stood up and got into a fighting pose and Brianna noticed small snowflakes start to form in his hand. Her eyes grew wide as he shot his hand out and frost flew across the room. It formed into a large, dolphin-shaped ice sculpture. Brianna stared at the sculpture, then at Sub-Zero. "What…?" she trailed off, confused. "It's a dolphin," he said proudly.
"Okay…I'm gonna go take a shower now," she said slowly. "I'll go get you some towels," Sub-Zero offered kindly. He returned with a stack of towels in his arms. She walked up to him slowly. Back home she was very tall, about 5'10". Now she was dwarfed by Sub-Zero's nearly 7-foot tall size. "Thanks," she took the towels from him. For a moment their hands touched. Sub-Zero felt as though Brianna's touch melted all the ice inside his body, whereas Brianna felt a shock of freezing cold air whisk through her body. They looked into each other's eyes for a split second, and then a frosty blue light seemed to glow from Sub-Zero's pupils. "Sorry," she apologized as she turned her red face to the floor. Brianna watched as Sub-Zero stepped back a few steps, bowed slightly, and silently left the room.
"What the hell am I going to do with an 8-foot dolphin made out of ice?" she asked out loud as she wrapped a towel around the base of it.
