Kristoff had been driving for a while now, following the highway to get as close to Boston as possible. He didn't really want to go back to the city they had just fled from, but he knew Anna wouldn't give up on helping this boy find his mom. He looked into the rear view mirror and noticed Olaf sleeping, using Sven as a pillow. They had such a strong connection already and it made the tall male smile, then he looked over to Anna. She seemed so peaceful sleeping in the passenger seat. Her pink lips were slightly parted and her legs were up on the dash.
As he drove he noticed small farms and farm houses along the side of the road, his stomach made a growling noise. He realized that he can't really remember the last time he had eaten, and who knows when the last time Olaf ate was. Kristoff took the next exit and started driving down the dirt roads, leading up to a large blue house with a barn. As he put the car to a stop, the sudden change in speed awoke Anna and Olaf.
"What did we stop for?" The question came out in a sleepy voice from the freckled face woman as she rubbed her eyes and looked around.
"We need to eat something, I'm sure your hungry and I don't even know when Olaf has eaten last."
Anna simply nodded in agreement and looked back at Olaf. "You stay in the car with Sven, Kristoff and I are gonna check the house." and with that said she reach a hand back and rubbed the boys knee with a smile.
Kristoff got out of the car and pulled out his knife, he waited for Anna and then the two approached the house with caution. Anna looked at Kristoff enough to silently say she was taking the back door and he could take the front.
As Anna walked around the back, she noticed one of the biters through the window of the house and walked slowly to the back door. With the back yard being clear, the red-head opened the door slowly, while leaning against the wall.
The biter heard the door creak open and started to walk towards it, as he got to the door, Anna turned the corner and drove the knife into his neck, right behind his ear, in an upward angle.
She grabbed the body as it started to fall and placed it down slowly, so it wouldn't attract any others in the house. As she walked into the kitchen, she took the door to the dinning room and that was clear as well.
Kristoff had entered the front door, not noticing anything strange as he walked through the living room and checked all the closets and the one downstairs bedroom. He ran into Anna in the dinning room and pointed to the stairs.
Not that the downstairs level was clear, they had to make sure upstairs was as well. Kristoff went first, climbing the stairs as quietly as possible and noticed three doors in the hallways upstairs. He pointed to one and Anna walked over to it.
As Anna opened the door, she noticed it was the upstairs bathroom. There was no sign of anyone being in there and so after checking the shower and closet she closed the door. It was then that she heard the noise come from the room Kristoff was in.
Kristoff walked into the master bedroom and noticed the two biters, one sitting on the floor, while the other was standing next to the large dresser. Kristoff decided it would be logical to go for the one standing first.
As he approached it, the one sitting saw him and made a horrible growl sound, causing the standing biter to turn around. As he did, Kristoff's knife drove into his left eye, causing him to fall to the ground.
Anna walked into the room as soon as Kristoff kick the biter that was sitting and then drove his knife into the top of her head. Anna looked away and tried not to gag. Sure they had to do this all the time, but it was different when she did it.
Anna had adrenaline running through her when she had to kill, but to just watch someone stab a knife into the top of a persons skull, and to hear the bone crunching sound, it made her feel sick.
After that room was clear, they looked into the other room to find nothing but a bed and a dresser. It looked to be a quest bedroom. Anna looked out the window to see the car and was thankful that Olaf and Sven where still sitting there, patiently waiting for there return.
"Well, now that the house is clear, how about we get the two boys in here and make some food, I am starving." Anna giggled at Kristoff as he held his stomach with a crooked smile.
"Okay, let's go bring the bags of food in and I will start cooking while you lock up." Her smile spread across her freckled face and Kristoff couldn't help but stare. Even when the world went to hell, this woman still found all the reasons to smile.
Kristoff walked out to the car with Anna and they opened the door, letting Sven and Olaf out to stretch their legs. Sven quickly ran over to the bushes to do his doggy business and Anna chuckled.
"He acts like he was holding that for a while." Kristoff laughed at that response and nodded. "He is a good boy, he won't go to the bathroom in any car or house." As he said that he grabbed the bag of food and flung it over his shoulder, shutting the door and walking towards the house.
Anna grabbed her bag from the other side of the car and then shut the door, following Kristoff. Sven quickly ran back over to them and nuzzled Olaf before sliding his head between the boys legs and lifting.
Olaf laughed at this but got what he was saying and jumped onto the large dogs back. Sven was large for a German Shepard and Olaf wasn't that big so it didn't bother him. The blue-eyed boy was laughing with glee as the Sven took off running towards the house.
Kristoff was about to protest this for Sven's safely but Anna touch his shoulder. "Let the boy have some fun, it was Sven's idea, if he couldn't hold him up he wouldn't have offered."
Kristoff smiled at that and shrugged, "Yea, i guess your right." And with that, they all walked into the house, Anna heading towards the Kitchen as Kristoff heads to the bathroom.
The red-head smiled as she looked at the kitchen and started to get some cans of soup out of her bag, as well as some bread she hoped was still a bit soft. As she started to cook, the smell filled the house and made her realize just how hungry she was.
Kristoff finished locking the house up and headed to the kitchen with Olaf and Sven. "That soup smells amazing Anna, I bet its great." Anna just chuckled and held up the can. "It's just heated up vegetable beef, it doesn't take a master chief to make that."
Kristoff just smiled at her and set up the bowls he found in one of the cupboards, along with spoons and set the bottles of water on the table. They didn't trust anything that wasn't sealed shut because they didn't know what was infected and what wasn't.
Olaf sat at the table as the soup was poured into his bowl and then stuck his spoon in, about to take a big bite. "Watch it Olaf" came Anna's stern voice. "It's really hot, you will burn your mouth."
After she poured the rest of the soups out, as well as a bowl for Sven that was set on the floor, they all started to eat. The group was extremely hungry so they didn't show their best manners as they gulped up the soup.
While they where eating, Kristoff couldn't help but think about them as a small family. His brown eyes looked over at the scene in front of him, and for a second, he forgot the world had gone to hell.
"Kristoff, your staring" Came voice as she swallowed some of her soup.
The tall male just shook his head and then kept eating as the red-head giggled at him.
Once the food was gone, and there stomachs where full, Olaf and Sven went running to play again. Anna smiled at the two as she started to pick up the bowls and rinse them off in the sink. This caused Kristoff to laugh and she looked back at the tall man with a smirk. "What?"
"The world has gone to hell, and your worried about washing dishes." This caused Anna to chuckle as well as she realized that she too forgot about everything that has gone on. She set the bowls down and sat back down at the table.
Hours went by as the four of them played classic games like Red Light Green Light, and Red Rover. Anna insisted that they give Olaf the childhood he had taken away from him. They went back inside though as the sun started to set and Anna took Olaf upstairs.
"You can sleep right here in this bed okay." She spoke quietly as she tucked him in and sat on the bed next to him.
"And I will be safe here?" He asked with a smile on his face as he looked up at Anna. She smiled back at him and nodded.
"I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." with that she gave him a kiss on the forehead and stood up. As she walked away she heard his voice and it stopped her in her tracks.
"You're a lot like my mom, I'm sure your going to get along great when we find her." This broke Anna's heart but she couldn't let him see that. She knew the odds of finding Elsa where low, but she had to keep hope in this kids heart.
She simply turned around and smiled at him. "I'm sure we will too"
As Anna walked back downstairs she noticed Kristoff sitting at the table and smiled at him. He smiled back and offered a seat next to him, which she gladly took. As she sat down, Kristoff couldn't help but notice the rip that was still in her shirt, and her skin that would flash now and then.
"So, did you want my hoodie?" The question came out of nowhere and threw Anna off guard. She looked up at him with her eyebrows pushed together in confusion.
"Want your hoodie?" she repeated his question and he pointed to her stomach that was exposed in front of him. "Oh, I forgot I ripped my shirt." The red-head laughed as she started to feel the purple fabric.
"Thank you Kristoff, but I'm sure I have another shirt in my bag somewhere." she looked up at him and smiled, making his heart beat faster. Did she know she was so beautiful that he made her nervous.
Kristoff figured it was about time he figured it out and actually tell her how he feels. He adjusted how he was sitting and straightened his back, as if it would give him more courage. "Hey Anna, there is something I've wanted to talk to you about."
This caught the red heads attention and she looked up at the male, who seemed to be a few more shades of red than normal. "What is it Kristoff?" she had thought that maybe he wasn't feeling well, the thought of him liking her in more than a friend way had never slipped her mind.
"Are you feeling okay? You seem a little flushed." She took her hand and placed it on his forehead, causing him to jump slightly at the contact. He cleared his throat and then took her hand that was on his forehead into his.
"I'm feeling fine Anna, I just wanted to tell you.." His brown eyes met her beautiful teal eyes and he choked on his words, he wasn't sure how to say it and didn't want to ruin anything between them.
"I just wanted to tell you, that I'm actually feeling a bit sleepy and wanted to know if you would take the first watch." He looked down to the ground and gave Anna her hand back.
The red-head smiled at him and then stood up, lifting the male to his feet. "Of course I will, I had first watch anyway remember." She grinned and then lead him to the bedroom that was downstairs.
The two walked into the room and Anna pointed to the bed. "You can sleep right here, I will come get you when I start falling asleep, okay?" and she hugged the tall man, causing his heart to race again. He wrapped his arms around her slender body and wished for it to never end, but she pulled back.
"Goodnight Kristoff, I will see you in a bit." And with that she walked out of the room, leaving the heart-broken blonde alone. He was cursing himself in his own mind for not having the courage to tell her how he feels.
ooooo
In the small upper apartment building the sound of a gun was ringing in the air. The biter's head was put into the line of the scope, and then blood splattered behind his head as the bullet ripped through. To the left of the sniper sat a picture in a frame of a small boy, his bright blue eyes where wide and his brown hair was sticking up in the back. A woman with snow-white hair and deep blue eyes was kneeling next to him, her arms around him as they both smiled at the camera.
A knock at the door caused the woman to stop shooting and looked over her shoulder.
There stood another woman, shorter than her, with short brown hair and a pink hoodie on. Her wide green eyes looking at the woman in concern.
"Eugene and I are going for a supply run, did you want to go?" She spoke softly, like speaking to a child. She didn't get an answer and the other woman simply turned back around and started shooting out the window again.
The brunette just sighed and stood up. "Well if you change your mind, we are leaving in fifteen minutes." and with that, she left the room, the sound of the gun going off ringing through the apartment.
When the biter fell to the ground, the woman got up and went over to the bed, picking up the picture on the way. She sat cross-legged as her long braid flung over her left shoulder. A small moist drop hit the glass on the frame, as a single tear ran off her face.
Through the walls of the apartment she could hear Eugene talking to Rapunzel.
"Is Elsa coming?" and then came the reply from the shorter woman as she sighed.
"You should know the answer by now."
