Chapter 11: What Would You Do If You Were Me?

"Toothless!"

Hiccup ran after the black hound. He felt like he was chasing the two animals endlessly through the large house. The various hallways seemed like they went on forever. How big is Rapunzel's house…? It made him wonder what it would be like to live in a place like this. He didn't know, Heck! He lived in only one room for god's sake. And that one room was partially taken over by a messy twelve year old kid. But nonetheless it was home. Hiccup had spent majority of his life there. It was where he grew up. He briefly wondered if Miss Humphrey was alright. She had taken him in when he was only a hurt little kid. Even though Miss Humphrey was a shrewd and strict military style woman, she loved him and always wanted the best for him. He sure hoped she was okay.

The white and orange cat finally squeezed through the gap between the two wooden doors and hurried inside, followed by Toothless who opened one of the doors by default while going in. Hiccup opened the door wider and stopped dead in his tracks.

The cat was nowhere to be seen. Toothless stood with its hatchets raised and was growling threateningly at the creature wobbling behind the desk. He realized that they were in some sort of a modern looking study. Hiccup noticed that the zombie; whom he guessed was Rapunzel's father perked up as soon as he entered the room. He saw that the wary looking monster wore outdoor clothes. Either Rapunzel's dad was about to go outside when he turned or he just wore clothes like that indoors. Who knows why rich people do the things they do just cause' they have money…

The creature was trying to get to him, if he hurried he could get away from the zombie but he couldn't leave without his best friend. "Toothless! C'mon let's get outta here."

But the canine responded by running to the zombie and barking at it relentlessly. The zombie ignored the animal and went straight for the human instead. Toothless sunk its teeth into the man-eating creature's ankles without hesitation as it rushed to grab its master. The zombie fell but that didn't stop it from trying to get to Hiccup. It twisted its decaying body and thrashed blindly at the dog. Toothless yelped in pain as the zombie's hand connected with its neck and made Toothless lose its grip and crash into the foot of the desk nearby.

"Toothless! No!" Hiccup yelled in fear when he saw the Zombie hit his dog. The Zombie got to its feet faster than he expected it to and lunged at him once more. Hiccup stepped back involuntarily but was blocked by the other closed door. Something slammed into the right side of his torso and with a surprised yelp, Hiccup found himself airborne for a fraction of a second before he hit the floor with a loud thud, beside an unsteady pedestal on which a weird looking human statue stood. It looked like it was about to fall on him, the way it was wobbling. His confused mind worked hard to comprehend what the hell just happened.

Jack had side-tackled him out of the way and was on top of him now.

Hiccup saw the other boy lift himself off him and steady the wobbling pedestal, preventing the human statue from falling. The zombie on the other hand had dashed into the door so hard that it caused it to splinter. It recovered quickly and turned to both of them and moaned.

Jack stepped slowly away from Hiccup and moved to where Toothless was. The canine looked like it was dead but the rise and fall of its furry chest told Jack otherwise. Toothless was just unconscious, which means that it won't be able to defend itself and was unprotected. Jack kept an eye on the zombie that seemed to be following his movements from the doorway. The zombie suddenly roared with rage and charged at him. Jack was quick to jump out of the way and also move away from Toothless in the process. If he kept the zombie's attention on him then it wouldn't go after Hiccup or the pooch.

Jack went for the gun that was tucked in his waistband but he couldn't find it. "What the-"

He patted his back to find it gun-less. Where the hell was his gun? His blue eyes searched the room and found it lying next to a shocked Hiccup. Shit! It must've fallen out when I pushed him down. His eyes flew to the zombie who was now advancing on him.

Hiccup had propped himself on his elbow and watched the scene unfold before him with wide fear filled eyes. He saw Jack head for his fallen companion near the desk. He assumed it was to make sure Toothless was okay. He felt touched-'Jack wasn't such a cold-hearted guy after all' he thought 'He wasn't as bad as the stories make him out to be' Oh yeah… He had figured out who Jack was a while ago. Jack Frost; aka The Coldest and most Dangerous guy in town.

Hiccup felt more dread grip his heart, Jack didn't make it to his dog—no, instead he dived out of the way of an enraged zombie and was now standing directly opposite to him across the room. The zombie lumbered in-between them; its back facing him. He saw Jack go for his gun but the latter's pale hand came out empty. He saw Jack's confused as well as desperate gaze search the room until it landed near his feet. He followed Jack's gaze and found the gun lying uselessly near his feet.

Hiccup was quick to pick it up and point it at the back of the zombie's head. He didn't waste time pulling the trigger but… nothing happened… No bullet fired, there no recoil, no smoke… no nothing. Was it broken? He wondered just as he heard Jack yell out.

"The safety's on!"

Hiccup fumbled with the switch before turning it off and re-pointing the gun at the zombie which was now unbelievably close to Jack. He fired a shot and felt the recoil but didn't see the bullet hit the zombie instead he saw it hit the framed picture hanging to the left of Jack. The glass shattered and fell to the floor. The pretty painting of white horses running on the beach now had a bullet hole in it.

Jack flinched when he felt the bullet whizz past his ear and hit the picture beside him. The bullet had flown so close to his ear that Jack was almost sure it would have cut off his freaking ear if it had flown even an inch closer to his head. His ears were still ringing. "Shit! Dude! Watch it!"

"S-sorry…! I'm sorry," Hiccup said shakily. His hands were shaking and he could do nothing to steady them. He had never held a gun before let alone shot anything with it. Using it was way harder than it looked, especially if your hands were shaking like a leaf. He re-aimed the gun and tried very hard to keep his hands as still as possible. He didn't want to accidentally shoot Jack. That would be deadly. He had been extremely lucky last time to not get hit.

The zombie had made a grab for Jack, but the boy cleverly caught its hands with his and held one foot at its chest; preventing it from getting any closer to him. His back was against a wall for support but he was quickly losing balance standing on only one leg. He felt the zombies snappy jaws get closer and his hands getting pushed back to him. Is it just me…? Or are these things getting stronger?

"Hurry man!" He called out to Hiccup just when he heard heavy footsteps onside the room and then a gasp and Rapunzel's voice. "Oh My God…! Jack!"

Rapunzel didn't know if she should feel horrified or relieved at the sight she saw before her. She was happy that her father didn't have a bullet in him yet; though he was far from being her father any more but still, she couldn't help but be relieved about it. But she was afraid for Jack at the same time. What was supposed to be her father was trying to kill and devour her friend. She saw Hiccup lying on the other side of the room gun aimed at her father. "Hiccup, please don't shoot!"

"But Ja-" Hiccup started but stopped anything that he was about to say when he saw Merida push past Rapunzel and dash toward him. He watched with mouth hung open as she picked up the ugly humanoid statue from the pedestal behind him like it weighed nothing and hurled it at the creature across the room.

The ceramic statue connected with the zombie's head which seemed to weaken it just enough for Jack to get the upper hand in their little tussle. Jack pulled his hands back from the zombie while simultaneously kicking it back a little before delivering a powerful right upper-cut to its jaw. Its head snapped back as it fell to the floor. Jack then stretched out his hand to Hiccup. "Throw me the gun!"

Hiccup did as Jack said and threw the gun to him. Jack caught it single-handedly with ease and aimed it at the dazed zombie's head.

"Nooo!" Rapunzel wailed, already running to where he was. "Jack please! He's my father!"

"Not anymore, Rapunzel." Jack reasoned with her, also willing himself to pull the freaking trigger. What should be so easy was taking Jack forever to do. Even though everything in him was screaming at him to put a bullet into its damaged brain he just couldn't bring himself to actually do it; at least not in front of Rapunzel. He knew it would kill her if he pulled the trigger now.

Rapunzel didn't let Jack make the choice as she crashed to her knees beside the fallen zombie and jabbed the needle into its neck. The already weakened and benumbed zombie's struggles slowed to nothing. Jack and Hiccup watched in bewilderment as the zombie slumped back flat on the floor.

"Wh-what did you give it?" Hiccup asked while getting to his feet.

"A sedative…" Rapunzel replied, lost in thought as her fingers ghosted over the quiet and still zombie's shoulder. Oh God! She couldn't do this. She shot up to like a rocket and ran out of the room; teary eyed, flushed face buried in her hands.

Jack, Merida and Hiccup exchanged sad glances with each other before letting their eyes fall on the unconscious zombie before them.

Jeez, talk about freaking trauma. Ugh, the thing's I'm going to put these guys through is going to kill you guys, I hope you survive it.

Anyhow, Its SHOUT OUTSSSS TIME!
