Chapter 5: Please! Drive Straight Before You Crash!
"Hiccup? What kinda name is that?" Jack almost sniggered; almost.
Hiccup opened his mouth to retaliate but the strange white haired guy didn't give him a chance.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter. Look, we're kinda in a hurry here so…"
"Where are you going?"
Jack didn't have the time for this crap. Picking up strangers was the last thing on his mind; it was just one more person to take care of; one more he'd be responsible for. And Jack didn't need any more responsibilities. If there was one thing that Jack sucked at, it was at being responsible. "Nowhere you're going. So if you could just move outta the way-"
Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!
All heads turned towards the dog that came running out of the park followed by two brainless man-eaters.
"Shit!" Jack cussed turning his head to the brunette boy. "Hurry up and get in the car!"
"Bu-"
"Damn it! Get in the car or I'm leaving you here!" Jack rebuked already pulling open the driver's side door and getting inside.
Hiccup ran over to the back door, opened it and slid in; all in one swift motion. "Wait! We have to wait for my dog!"
"No way!" Jack snapped; already putting the car into drive.
"NO! I'm not leaving Toothless behind!" Hiccup yelled angrily keeping his side of the car door open for his companion to join them. "He saved my life."
"Jack, I don't think we should leave the do-"
"You're both out of your freaking minds!" Jack half-yelled, half-hissed. He saw the dog come up about a hundred feet away. Close enough… He told himself as he slammed the accelerator down hard.
The car began to move forward; gaining speed quickly with Hiccup yelling at the driver "What are you doing!? Stop! We have to-" He didn't have to finish that sentence when he saw Toothless running up to his side of the car. This hoodie guy must have calculated that Toothless would be able to catch up. Guess he's not as heartless as I thought. Hiccup quickly slid away from the door a bit, giving room for his best friend to jump inside. "C'mon Toothless! JUMP!"
Toothless didn't hesitate. His master said 'jump' and so it did. Hiccup was already grabbing Toothless by the back of its neck, pulling his little savior into the car. I should really get you a collar soon.
Hiccup almost had the car door closed but a decaying hand stopped him from doing that. One of the monstrous man eaters had also managed to hold onto the car door with one hand and the upholstery of the seat with the other.
The car was filled with frenzy as it swerved from right to left and vise-versa. Who wouldn't be in frenzy? They were dragging a decaying corpse along with them, for Christ's sake. Rapunzel was screaming so high pitched that Jack was sure she could break glass right now. He was also pretty sure he had gone partially deaf too. That combined with the dog's non-stop barking was seriously giving him a killer headache. Hiccup was trying hard to close the door despite the huge chunk of living-dead flesh in the way but it didn't seem to be working. The hard-to-kill Zombie still held on with a tight grip and was trying to get in.
Enough is enough, time to take charge of this situation.
"Rapunzel! Stop! Listen to me!" Jack yelled in a commanding voice. He kept shifting his eyes between the panicked green-eyed girl and the road. They would be as good as dead if he crashed. "Listen! I need you to help me out here… Open the dashboard and see if you can find anything that will help Hiccup get the Zombie off the car. Can you do that for me?"
It was a question of choice… but really, she had no choice. He needed her to do this. She can't say no, she had to do it. Jack saw Rapunzel nod tightly from the corner of his eye. She searched the dashboard but only found pieces of paper, a wash cloth, a perfume bottle and other useless junk.
Wait a minute… The frying pan! That would sure be of some use to them right now. She bent down to pick up the pan from where it had fallen near her feet. Her fingers searched for it until she caught hold of it but something wasn't right. Rapunzel pulled and pulled but for some reason it wouldn't budge. Oh god! It's no use! I can't get it loose! She was just wasting time; precious time that they didn't have! She abandoned the pan and went back to the dashboard.
Rapunzel pulled out the perfume bottle and held it high so Jack could see it too "Will this work?"
Jack spared a second to see what Rapunzel had found. "We're not trying to make the dead sucker smell pretty," he barked. "That's not going to work."
"We should at least try!" She didn't wait for Jack's response as she began climbing into the back seat. She snuck up beside Hiccup and the barking dog and proceeded to spray the Zombie in the eyes. Its vacant white eyes still starred at them with hunger; jaws snapping viciously at the wind. She continues to spray the perfume into its milky eyes but to no effect. Darn it! She should have listened to Jack… She shouldn't have wasted time with this. I'm such an idiot! "It's not working!" She yelled in panic.
"It's okay… Just look for something else you can use," came another command from the driver's seat. Jack didn't want anybody panicking; well it was too late for that… What he meant was, he didn't want their panic to escalate more. It was hard enough to keep himself calm but he had to keep these two calm as well. Jack then called out to the other passenger of the car. "Dude, you need to do everything you can to stop the Zombie from getting into the car,"
"Easy for you to say," was the response he got, followed by a grunt.
"Use your legs to kick it," Jack hollered over his shoulder; driving the car into another pot hole and receiving another grunt from the back seat. "Be careful, don't let it bite you."
"No duh!" Hiccup said with clenched teeth as he repeatedly kicked at the Zombie's face. Either he had very weak kicks or the dead-robo-cop was freakishly strong, because Hiccup was still unable to dislodge the creature.
"I found an umbrella!" Rapunzel shouted with excitement. This could help them get rid of the ravenous creature. It wasn't the pointy headed one but it will have to do. She handed the umbrella to Hiccup who took it from her and jammed it down the Zombie's throat as far as it would go. Blood and goo oozed out of numerous places of its neck. Toothless meanwhile mangled at the decaying hand that held onto the seat and Jack drove over another pot hole that was larger than the other ones.
All their combined effort made the Zombie lose its grip on the car and it let go; limbs and body rolling after the car before coming to a completely stop. It laid there not moving with the umbrella still sticking out of its disfigured face.
The three occupants of the car breathed in relief as Jack steadied the car again, bringing it back to the center of the road; Rapunzel, who climbed back into the front seat and proceeded to clean up the mess she made while searching; Hiccup, who closed the door and locked it before slumping on the seat in exhaustion and Toothless, who sat next to its master, wagging its tail happily.
Okay, okay, I know this chapter was slow and short. But I promise you're gonna be in for a shock for what I have planned for Chapter 6. *cue evil laughter*
