SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"So now what do we do?: The Hateedcopter isn't fixed yet, or it would have come by now, looking for us. We'd have heard it," said Murderface.
They were all seated in the living area, with the exception of Skwisgaar, who was still resting. The tv was on, but no one was watching it. Nathan had put it on mute when he noticed it was mostly in Norwegian.
"Maybe he hasn't fixed it yet," Freya suggested.
She got up from her seat squeezed in between Pickles and Murderface and sat on the floor, scratching the wiry fur around Odin's neck and ears.
"Wanna see a trick he knew when I got him?" she asked.
"Sure! I likes tricks," said Toki, trying to make light of the grim situation.
Freya got to her feet and and grabbed a piece of paper, scribbled something on it and folded it up. She slipped it under Odin's collar and tied a little red ribbon round it so it wouldn't fall out. She opened the front door and shooed him out into the blizzard.
"You always do that, or just when you want a messenger pidgeon?" asked Murderface.
Freya smiled and watched the dog out the window.
"He'll find your pilot. I wrote him a note. Odin likes people, wherever they are, he'll find them," she assured them.
"What did you writes?" asked Toki, puzzled. He had never heard of a dog doing a trick like that outside the movies.
"I wrote to tell him to follow the dog here if the Hatredcopter is fixed. Send him back without the note if it's not fixable. Is that alright?" she asked.
Nathan made some sort of noise with his lips anxc leaned back. He rested his head on the back of the wrap around couch, his hair bunching up behind his neck, and closed his eyes. It seemed he didn't really care.
"Yeah, that's fine," said Pickles.
"Hey, sshush! Lokks on da news!" Toki suddenly cried. He grabbed the remote out of Nathan's lap and turned it up so he could hear. The anchorwoman was talking in rapid Norwegian. They were shooting live from somewhere.
"We don't understand your language, Toki," said Nathan loudly, not opening his eyes.
"I cans transklate for yous, shush!" Toki said impatiently.
"We are live on the road to Frostskog, where locals say something huge crash landed on the edge of the forest, one man claims it was the Hatredcopter, the helicopter owned and operated by the international Metal band Dethklok-"
"Dey knows abouts da crash!" Toki exclaimed.
"Oh, great, now those asshole're gonna come around here," groaned Nathan.
"I don't want the media around here, either! I hope Odin gets to the pilot before those lot do," said Freya. Now she looked slightly nervous.
"Can you drive this thing?" asked Pickles. He was looking beyond them at the wall, where he knew the rather small cab for the truck itself was.
Freya bit her lip and nodded uncertainly and shooed them all away from the wall. She bent down and rolled up the wall. It folded in on itself and came to a rest at the top like a window shade. The front of the truck was spotless, as if it had never been used. She went in ahead of them and got in the driver's seat. She started the engine.
She took off. It was clear that she had never driven the trailer before, because they all went flying. Nathan rolled onto the floor, Toki rolled into him, the TV slid to the floor with a crash and the glass shattered. It went out in a shower of sparks.
Up in the bedroom, Skwisgaar yelled out as he rolled off the mattress that served as a bed.
"Let me drive dat thing!" cried Pickles, and ignoring the fact that his arm was broken and badly splinted, he shoved her gently out of the driver's seat and began driving himself. The trailer got back on track.
He flipped on the windshield wipers and they could still see smoke in the distance. Just ahead of them was Odin. He was alone.
Pickles pulled over and Freya untangled herself from the jumble of legs on the floor and opened the door for him. Pickles set off again andf didn't stop this time until they came out of the forest and saw the Hatredcopter. The pilot stood in the way, waving his arms above his head. The trailer stopped and Pickles joined them in leaving it.
"Is it fixed?" Pickles called out. The pilot nodded in his bulky helmet and behind him, what roadies usually flew with them on the Hatredcopter turned and began filing back onto the copter. It had been repositioned. It now lay on top of the snow and upright, towering high above their heads.
Murderface and Nathan immediately got on, presumable to put more clothes on.
"Drive the trailer into the copter and let's get outta dis harrible place," said Pickles.
Toki folowed them all in, glad at last to have finally found his sister.
His younger sister. He wasn't going to be treated like a little brother anymore. He could show her around Mordhaus and tell her about everyone and everything and hang out with her when the others picked on him too much. This was going to be great!
He watched as she drove the trailer into the belly of the Hatredcopter. She climbed out and gaped in awe at the inside of copter.
It was done entirely in shades of red silver and black. The interior was very gothic and all of the draped on it were shredded and covered in what looked like dust. The chandeliers were covered in foot long spikes and skulls were everywhere. In fact, every room they went to, everything was painted black.
"This thing... is... awesome... There aren't any words for it..." said Freya, completely in awe. Her eyes were very wide and she couldn't seem to close her jaw.
Toki guessed she liked it.
"Well, thanks to whatever was wrong with the Hatredcopter we can't do the tour. I guess next stop is home," said Murderface.
"Very well, my lords. Next stop Mordhaus. We can get you all fixed up there," said the pilot.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
PLEASE REVIEW!! I decided to throw a random cab on the tailer because it just fit in somehow. I know I never mentioned it before, but there is one now, so meh.
The earlier chapter, called saved by the gods, refers to the fact that both the dog and Toki's sister share names with ancient Norse gods. Just wanteed to clear that up.
PLEASE REVIEW!!! See that little scroll down thingy there? Click it!
