-=Chapter 3=-

"Sounds good to me, the faster we get to Berk General Hospital, the faster we get out of this nightmare." Jack said.

"Fine." Merida huffed before walking towards the door inside the safe house. "But I need to take a bathroom break first." She said before grabbing the door handle and twisting it a few times. "Aw come on! It's locked?!"

"If it's locked…maybe someone's in there!" Rapunzel said with a hint of hope in her voice.

"Or something!" Elsa said as she reloaded her gun. "Merida, can you hear anything moving in there?" she asked.

"It doesn't matter. It's coming out so I can get in!" She said before pounding on the door. "HEY! ANYONE IN THERE OPEN UP!?"

"Nobody but us clogged crappers in here!" Shouted a voice from the bathroom. That cause Jack to chuckle shortly and was silent by Elsa and Merida by a glare and Rapunzel try to suppress a giggle by coughing.

"Another survivor?!" Jack said to redirect the attention from him to the door as they all looked at the bathroom door. "Who's in there?!"

"Get out of there first! I got to use the bathroom!" Merida shouted.

"First, put your weapons away please!" said the voice.

"We're not going to shoot you." Rapunzel said with soft and trusting voice. "What's your name?"

"That's what they all say." said the voice with a hint of laughter. "And I'm...uhh...Henry." Hiccup doesn't want to risk to give his nickname so he give his real one, because his nickname is more commonly use than his real name.

"Okay Henry, come out of the bathroom and let's chat." Elsa said although by hearing the name she can't help but hope that it was the Henry Haddock she knows. Yes ladies and gents, Elsa was part time stalker to a guy name Henry 'Hiccup' Haddock her secret crush and hero.

"Weapons away first please just to make sure you like to chat and not to put a hole on my head." Henry said.

"THAT'S IT!?" Merida shouted before shooting the lock off and kicking the door in. She looked in the dim lit room to see someone wearing a plaid jacket, green shirt, and green cap covering his auburn hair, blue jeans, and black shoes staring down at the group with his hands in his pockets. "OUT!"

"Okay, okay jeez!" said Henry as he walked out of the bathroom. He stood there in the light while Merida put the door up before using the toilet. He kept staring at the ground so his cap would cover his face. "Can you believe that girl? She had to fire the door knob just to use the bathroom it's a little overkill don't you think?"

"If you got to go, you got to go." Jack said and shrug and Henry nodded a few seconds the two burst laugh and make Merida shout the other side of the door 'SHUT UP!' while Rapunzel giggle and Elsa never took her eye off of Henry, and her curiosity was eating her for if the guy in front of them was really her Hiccup or not. (N/A: Yeah that's right HER Hiccup. hehehehehe) but she couldn't see his face of his hair for identification.

"I can't believe it." Rapunzel said and to save her best friend from more embarrassment. "Two weeks of nothing but zombies and we finally meet another survivor."

"Well…'survivor' might not be the right word for me." Henry said.

"What do you mean?" Jack asked. Hiccup tried to find the right words while Merida rejoined them all before sighing in defeat.

"I'm not going to lie to you guys. There's something about me that about me that you should know." Henry said before pulling his hands out of his pockets. When he did, the four of them saw his hands before their eyes widened. And they only got wider when he pulled off his cap and showed them his gray face. "I'm a zombie too."

"OH SHIT!" Merida said before aiming her riffle at Hiccup. Hiccup shielded himself with his arms as Merida pulled the trigger just as Elsa raises the weapon up so that she shot the ceiling. "What are you doing Elsa?!"

"Use your head Merida!" Elsa shouted before looking at Hiccup and was happy it was him. By looking at him she wants to jump on his arms even he's a zombie now but like before the outbreak his really different even he become a zombie he's still different. But she had to resist she had to control herself even she promise to herself that when she saw him she will confess her feelings for him, but right now she needs everyone to calm down first. "Since when do zombies talk?! Hiccup, I don't know what kind of game you're playing, but I highly doubted there's a zombie who can talk!"

Before Hiccup could ask how did she knows his nickname, but he was cut off by Jack.

"Yeah, I mean, every other zombies we've ever come across has done nothing but try to kill us." Jack said. "Take off the make-up already. Even that can't save you from the zombies even you look really one. They will recognize you anyway, and believe me I try and it's not good result."

"I'm telling you I'm a zombie." Hiccup said. All of them looked skeptical before Rapunzel stepped forward with curious look on her face and asked him to prove it. Hiccup gave her a short glare before he took her right hand and place it on his chest. And a certain platinum blonde haired had to bit her lower lips and try to suppress her jealousy when Hiccup took Rapunzel's hand and place it on his chest and wish that should be her.

But don't worry she's not the only one a certain red head also resist saying something like 'lucky' or 'that should be me'. But also didn't like to show that she's jealous of her best friend (N/A: Yup! Elsa is not the only one has a secret crush on our beloved nerd hunk/ inventor/vigilante folks!) Although she too want to be on Rapunzel's place right now.

"Feel that?" Hiccup said. And Rapunzel looked confuse before but she try to feel something and she felt his well tone chest and said. "Yeah, you really have a nice tone muscles on there even for a zombie or you must be working out when you're alive, yes?" This make Hiccup look at her like she just turn to a zombie with two heads. While Jack snickering trying not to burst to laughter and Elsa and Merida really wanted to feel it too.

"What? No! I meant my heartbeat! If you can feel if I had a HEARTBEAT!" Hiccup said and makes Rapunzel realize that Hiccup want her to do in the first place and a little blush show on her face and try to concentrate on the 'heartbeat' that should she be feeling in the first place. But realization and horror slowly etched onto her face.

"Guys." She said in a quiet voice before backing away. "I…can't feel his heartbeat."

"But you feel his chest though." Jack joke and sniggering only to be silent again by Elsa and Merida by their glare and this time it's more intense. So he stops before something happen to him and shut up not without saying. "Wait…then that means."

"He IS a zombie!" Elsa said. With a hint of disappointed and sadness, disappointed because she didn't have a chance to confess to him and didn't have any physical contact with him even accidentally touch of a hand, and sadness because Hiccup is now a zombie and they cannot be together and she had to 'kill' him.

"And he's about to going to die all over again." Merida shouted as she aimed at Hiccup. Even it hurts her inside for doing this and can't be with him or more, but she's doing him a big favor right now anyway. But she didn't show it and might has well she done it fast before she change her mind and do something she might regret (on her fantasy way if you know my drift? Wiggling Eyebrows).

"WAIT!" Hiccup shouted while raising his hands.

"Why?! So you can eat my brain!?" Merida said with her voice croak a little, but lucky for her the rest didn't notice.

"If I wanted to do that, I'd blindly charge at you right now! Use your head, you hot head!" Hiccup yelled back.

"ENOUGH!" Elsa shouted. "Obviously, this zombie isn't like the rest." She had cringed a little when she said 'this zombie' but become unnoticed.

"See? Even angle here knows what she's talking about." Hiccup said making Elsa to flush a little on the praise and the word 'angle'. While Merida glaring intensified by Hiccup's calling Elsa an Angle fueling her jealousy right now, But Hiccup is not safe yet though.

"Hold it!" Elsa said as she pointed her pump shot gun at Hiccup, making him stop in his tracks and Elsa just being caution and base from experience from those ten days. When they meet some people on those ten days that double cross them or try to use them as zombie bait. "Alright Hiccup, how are you talking anyway?"

"I honestly have no idea." Hiccup said. "All I remember was falling asleep feeling like shit, then waking up like this." and to prove his point he gesturing his current appearance to them.

"So, what are going to do now?" Rapunzel asked.

"I…I don't know." Hiccup said looked t the ground. "I'm a zombie, but I don't go around attacking survivors. I tried talking to any other survivors I met, but they did what this red hot head here did and shot first and not thinking about asking questions, and then there's the idea that I should look for my parents but by thinking the first option they might think I'm just like the rest of the zombies out there. I hope wherever they are I just wish them they are both safe and sound." He said as he pointed at Merida, who flushes a little.

"All of us want to know what happen on our family, you're not alone in there." Rapunzel said with a comfort smile which Hiccup return the gesture.

"So why hide in a safehouse where survivors try to get to?" Jack asked feeling getting left out and notices how Elsa and Merida have a little blush and giving Hiccup a look that his familiar with, when Hiccup trying to saying nice words or just to retort even to them. He was giving Elsa a look when no one's looking. But looks like he's not going have a chance on Elsa and he has a rules, 'GUY RULES' to follow too, one of it is not to force a girl/s with feelings or crush on someone single and try to asked her first and then to make her his girlfriend except if the said girl has finally accept him or admit that they move on to that person that they like.

"Because…because it's sucks being alone." Hiccup said as he sat on the floor and curled up. "I don't know where my parents are or if they're safe? On this point I got nothing left…not even life." He just sat there on the floor while the others just stared at him before walking away a bit and whispering.

"I can't help but feel bad for him." Rapunzel said with her sad eyes and looking to her shoulder to Hiccup that still curls up on the floor.

"Same here." Jack said. He knows what it's like to be alone sometimes even after everything happens. When he starts high school his all alone at first, no one likes to talk to him on that time until he sighs up for try out on the ice hockey team and when he gets in and do great he becomes suddenly popular and meet new friends.

But he can't compares his experience of loneliness with Hiccup's and he may not know the guy but he knows that his the school outcast when his still alive and even he turns to a zombie he still become an outcast, so he has the right to feel sorry to his situation right now.

"He's a Zombie! Why not just put him out of his misery and keep going?!" Merida demanded. Even she didn't want to do this to her crush she can't risk the chance something might harm her friends or her on the way or see him like this, and she might not control herself to pin him to the ground and ripped his clothes off and take him on the spot with those eyes of his, and if this is the last time she will see, hear, and feel him. She doesn't even care if he's a zombie now has long as she have a chance on him she didn't care at all, But for now her friends safety first before her needs even just feel his chest just like Rapunzel did and…aaand she now need to stop her wild imagination before it's too late.

"But he hasn't attacked us!" Elsa stated. Of course she will too didn't want to risk the chance of might something happen to their little group. But she can't just let that happen to her crush and she still own him for saving her from being rape on that day and she will not going to let something happen to her crush, even he is now a zombie she too having a trouble of control just like Merida.

She might not have some guts to just jump on him in his spot, but she will drag him over one of this safehouse's rooms and ravage him just like a zombie will do. But first they need to agree on what they will do to him first.

"Hey guys?" Rapunzel said and getting their attention on her. "Crazy idea but…maybe we can take him with us?"

"WHAT?!" Merida yelled before Elsa pulled her in the ribs. "Oof! Ow!" That idea of her best friend really surprise her and really, really, REALLY! Want to agree on it. But she doesn't like to show it to everyone, because she's not that open only to her family and Rapunzel. So she will act stubborn or not for this and so avoid suspicions.

While Elsa was ecstatic about the idea but she won't admit it too. By just thinking of it watching him again saving her and this time it's from the zombies, and after his done he turn to her and slowly approached her and once he kneels and suddenly carry her bridal style. He asked if she's alright and slowly his head was leaning toward her and she too move her head and their lips were just a centimeter close. But only her daydreaming was cut off by Hiccup's voice and returns her to realization and much to her disappointment too. Good thing her friends didn't notice this only they thought she's on a deep in thoughts so she's safe from her daydreaming a moment ago.

"You know I can hear every word you guys say right?" Hiccup said from where he sat on the floor. He looked over at Rapunzel before asking. "Why would you want me to come along? Aren't you afraid I'll turn on you guys?"

"We've got guns and could put you down in an instant." She said confident was on her voice and she can see that he wouldn't do such a thing so she can trust him plus she's showing him the gun she's holding to prove her point. "Come on guys."

"No way!" Merida said still trying to act stubborn hiding her feelings to her now zombie crush.

"I don't know Punz." Jack said even he agreed to it but he need to be caution first and it's for their own safety too.

"Elsa?" Rapunzel said as she looked at their acting leader of their group. Elsa just looked at each of them carefully. Merida shook her head in disapproval even though she wants too, Jack just shrugged his shoulders, and Rapunzel looked at her with her big puppy-dog-eyes (UGH! Those eyes!?). She closed her eyes conflicted about what she should do.

On one hand if she let her feelings she need to risk the group's safety if Hiccup become full attack zombie. But there might be some perks if they let him join? And then there is the other hand they could just go with Merida's suggestion but she can't do it, is it because of her feelings for him? Or is it because he's still have humanity inside him and by killing him it feels like she killed a person instead a zombie, with a sighed she walked over towards Hiccup and kneeling down at his eye level while placing a pistol against Hiccup's head, she really don't like doing this but she need to show him that they won't hesitate to blow his head if he's going to turn them.

"One wrong move…and I'll put a bullet through your head and remember this I'm not the only one, Hiccup." she said make herself look though just for a show as she held a hand out to him. "Deal?" Hiccup look at her confuse because how did this girl know his nickname? His not really give a damn on the school's social ladder or who is popular or not.

Because he need to focus on his study and inventions before he stand up for himself and fight back on his tormentors at school and become the vigilante for beating the shit out of the gangsters till that day. but for now he didn't care he has some company now, so a smile came to his lips and he shook Elsa's hand and for Elsa even his hand was cold she feel his hand was soft and had somehow rough at the same time maybe it's from his inventing stuff and working out Elsa thought.

"Deal?" Hiccup said. Rapunzel and Jack smile while Merida just started to rant to keep appearance of course.

"I don't believe this!" Merida said. "Fine! But I'm not letting him have a gun!"

"Don't need it." Hiccup said as he took the hockey stick from Jack with a words from the owner of 'be careful with my buddy there dude.' and went towards the safehouse exit. "There are a few perks about being a zombie." He said before opening the door and casually walking out. Merida slammed the door shut while they all looked through the window of the door to see him walking towards another zombie before looking at them all with his goofy grin which our certain platinum blonde and red head like to see every day. "Watch this." He said before he began to yell at the zombie.

"HEY UGLY! YOU SMELL LIKE HORSESHIT!" he shouted which surprise the three girls that know him sort off as for Elsa and Merida which they never hear Hiccup curse like that before even he becomes popular or when he was bullied before, but now. As he waved his hands in front of the zombies face. He then stuck his fingers in his mouth and made faces at it. "NA NA NANA NAAAA!" he sung before laughing. "Thing about being zombie is that the other zombies don't attack me. Which means they won't mind if I do THIS!" he said before he let out a wail on the zombie with jack's hockey stick. He smacked it in the head and proceeded to smash its head open until it was nothing but a mess of brains and rotted flesh.

"Dang!" Jack said in surprise. "It didn't even try to attack him!" and is everyone surprise just like him except for Elsa that who thought about one of the perks she thought about him earlier and with this her Hiccup can actually join them without Merida's constant complain, and Merida can't find some words to said about it but she's also very glad that he can come with them and might had a chance on him. But for the mean time she plays stubborn for now.

"Still think he's dangerous Merida?" Rapunzel tease her with a smirk.

"Whatever!" Merida said and turns her back to her to make sure no one see her with a small smile on her lips and Rapunzel just giggle at this and they all got restocked and ready to head out.

"Let's go! We better get going before something happens to that helicopter that will evacuate us to somewhere safe." Elsa said before all five of them took off and Hiccup had a say.

"You do know you just jinx us right?" Hiccup said with eyebrow raise at Elsa who had a little blush on and said. "With everything's happening now on this past ten days? I don't think so." Making Hiccup look around them and he had to admit she's right with he just nodded on it showing he agreed. So they headed to Berk General Hospital for the evacuation where the helicopter that will bring them to safety wherever the place is.
