Once inside the teens quickly locked up the doors and windows. Jack leaned against the wall and held his cell phone to his ear. "Mom? Mom is Katherine with you? Okay, I need both of you to stay inside and board up the house… Because there are aliens outside… I'm being totally serious right now mom… I'm not on drugs no…" He said rolling his eyes. "Mom, please just stay inside and lock up the house. I'll be by as soon as it's safe… Okay, bye."
He hung up the phone and turned towards Hiccup who was peeking out the window. Hiccup glanced back at him. "I know that look. That's the 'My parents think I'm insane' look. My dad gives it to be all the time." He said turning back to the window. "Don't worry, if she doesn't believe you now she will in like ten minutes when those things start waking up."
Jack walked over and grabbed his hockey stick from the wall. "I just hope Katherine doesn't go outside to look at this little lightshow." He said spinning his hockey stick around in his fingers. He wasn't too worried about the aliens getting to them. Nicholas, Aster, and Sandy lived in the same apartment, and they'd protect them with their lives. "So what do we do?"
"What do you mean what do we do? This place is already safe, we just need to hold out here until the army or whatever shows up and gun those things down."
"But what happens if they actually manage to get in here? Then what?"
"That won't happen. We boarded the place up, we have nothing to worry about."
Jack didn't look completely satisfied, but decided to let Hiccup take the lead. It wasn't like he was an alien expert himself. Merida and Rapunzel walked into the room. "Me mom and brothers are fine. As fer me da, well we should see him in a few hours." Merida's father was in the military, so there was no need to worry about him.
"My parents said their fine too. They say that the same thing is happening over is the UK too. I seriously can't believe we're being invaded by aliens." Rapunzel said worriedly. She hoped the Eugene was okay as well.
"Okay, our families are safe, this place is all locked up. All we have to do is wait this thing out and-" There was a loud knocking sound against the window. Hiccup signal for them to be quiet.
The knocking kept coming for about a minute, then they heard a loud snarl, and then finally stopped. "They know we're in here." Jack said simply.
"They can't get in." Hiccup said firmly.
"Hiccup! They may not be as smart as the ones in the movies, but they're not stupid either! We left the body of the first one outside, they probably know we killed it! They're going to try and claw their way in here! And a few boards isn't going to stop them!" Jack yelled.
Hiccup glared at him. "Don't you think I know that?! But what exactly do you want me to do here Jack? It only took one of those things to toss us around like a salad, how do you expect to deal with a whole nest of them?!" He asked.
Jack ran his hand through his hair. "Uh… I'm not saying we should try and take on all of them. I'm just saying we need to prepare, just in case they do get in."
Hiccup sighed. "You're right, you're right. I'm just… this is just unbelievable. Go to the kitchen and get some forks, knives, and anything else we can use as a weapon." He instructed.
"Now you're thinking more clearly." Jack said heading into the kitchen. There was no doubt that out of the four of them Hiccup was the best thinker. But sometimes he needed a swift kick in the rear to get his head straight.
"Punzie, do you parents have anything we could use as a weapon or something?" He asked the blonde. She looked up in thought for a moment. "Do they go hunting, fishing, golfing? We can work with just about anything you know."
Rapunzel snapped her finger. "I think I might know something."
The group looked down at the pile of hunting gear. There was a large knife, a rifle, a crossbow, and a number of traps. "Dad likes to go hunting sometimes. He always tried to hide it from me because I'm not exactly a huge fan of hunting." She said frowning.
Hiccup looked up at her. "Punzie, don't you think you should have told us about this earlier?"
"Mom says I'm not allowed to touch any of his hunting stuff."
Merida frowned. "Ah think he'd make an' exception n this case Punzie." She said before picking up the cross bow. She grabbed the quiver of arrows and tossed them over her shoulder.
"Hey, why do you get the crossbow?" Jack asked.
"Cause, ah'm the only one wit any idea of how to use it. Well, Hiccup has a lil' too, but me aim is better." She said loading the cross bow. "Give Hiccup the rifle."
Jack threw his hands up. "So both of you get the badass weapons and me and Punzie are stuck with the knife and the traps?" He asked clearly annoyed.
Hiccup picked up the rifle. "I'll tell you what Jack…" He tossed the rifle to him. "…all you have to do is shoot the couch, anywhere, and you can have the rifle."
Jack smirked and quickly aimed at the couch and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. "Hey, what the-?!" He kept pulling the trigger, but nothing happened "It's not firing!"
Hiccup took the gun back and then took off the safety. "And that's why you can't have the gun."
Rapunzel picked up a frying pan and a bat. She placed the bat in her backpack behind her, along with a few knives. "I wouldn't worry about it Jack, you're probably better off with something like a club anything." She said before handing him a gold club.
Jack took it and placed it on his back. He held his hockey stick up. "I'm just going to stick with what I know." He said twirling the stick in his hand.
"Yeah, ye do that." Merida said.
There was more banging, and more growling. "Their trying to get in again, and there's more of them." Jack said holding up his stick towards the window.
"It still doesn't look like their making any leeway. So we'll gather some stuff up and then get ready to leave. You guys go around and gather anything that you think might be useful to take along, I'm gonna go in the kitchen and get something ready."
They all looked at Hiccup confused, but decided to forget about it. "I'll head upstairs to see if mom or dad have anything else we might be able to use." Punzie said making her way up the stairs. "You two should check the basement."
Jack began running towards the basement door. "Dibs on anything cool we find down there!" He shouted sliding down the rail.
"Yeah rite!" Merida shouted following him. She ran down the stairs and then suddenly bumped into him. She stumbled back. "Hey, why'd ye stop?!" He lifted his hand signaling for her to be quiet. She was about to yell at him again, but he pointed towards the small window near the corner of the room. It was wide open. "Oh no…"
How long had it been open? Did any of the aliens get in? Well, if they did they certainly weren't about to let any more in. "Cover me for a second." Jack said before making his way towards the window. Merida lifted the crossbow. She looked at the window just in case one of them popped its head inside, and also looked around in case there was already on here.
Jack closed the window and then locked it. He saw a large Grandfather clock nearby, and moved around pushing it in front of the window. Merida let out a sigh of relief. She then heard a loud rummaging from the left side of the room. One of the aliens jumped out from behind a piano, and then lunged towards Jack. "Frost, move!"
The white haired boy turned around and knocked the alien away with his hockey stick. He swung at it again, but it rolled out of the way. Merida began to take aim, but the thing was scurrying around much too quick. Jack chased after it trying to nail it with the hockey stick. "Ha, not so tough now are you!"
"Would ye stop gloating and corner the blasted lil' thing! Ah can nae get a clear shot!" She said moving the weapon around. The alien suddenly ran towards her. She back up and took a shot, but missed. The alien pushed her her over and then began making its way up the stairs.
Was it trying to let the others in? Merida wasn't going to let that happen! She lifted the bow again and fired. This time the arrow managed to graze its. It howled in pain but kept moving. "You missed! How did you miss?! It was a perfectly clear shot!" Jack yelled running towards her.
"Ah did nae miss! Ah grazed it!" She said as they made their way up the stairs. They went back to the living room to see if it was going for the door, but saw no signs of it. Could it hiding again? "Hiccup!" Merida shouted.
"What?" He asked casually.
"One of the aliens got in dude!" Jack yelled.
"What?!"
They heard a scream from upstairs. "Punzie!" Merida shouted. She began bolting up the stairs to go help her friend. Jack was right on her tail, and Hiccup quickly followed. They all headed to where they thought they heard the scream coming from, her parents' bedroom, and then burst into the door ready to attack. What they saw shocked them.
The alien was on the ground, dead. It looked like its next had been snapped. Punzie was sitting in the corner of the room. Her frying pan was covered in a small purple stain, which they guessed was the alien's blood. She was shaking and looked like she was in a daze. Merida quickly made her way to her friend's side.
Jack and Hiccup looked over the body. "Wow, you actually killed it Punzie. I honestly didn't think you had it in you." He said lifting the thing's arm up and dropping it.
"I-it just charged at me and I… I didn't know what else to do so I swung…" She stuttered. The other knew what she was feeling like right now. She had never killed anything before, not even a fly. Even if it was an alien, for someone as soft hearted as Punzie, it was a shock.
"Look, it tried to kill you, you killed it instead. Circle of life or whatever." Jack said yawning.
"Jack!" Merida snapped.
"What?! What did you want me to say?"
"Yer better off sayin' nothing!"
Hiccup sighed. "Knock it off you two. Punzie, you going to be okay?" He asked looking towards he girl. She just stared for a few seconds before nodding. "Good. How did that thing get in?"
"Basement window was open." Merida said. "Donnae know how we missed it."
"Well we can't afford to miss anything else. Jack, me and you are going to go over the house again and board up any way you think they might be able to get in. Merida, you and Punzie start packing up some food. I looked outside and it looks like more of these things are gathering. We have a few more hours at best, so we need to get ready to leave."
Jack raised his hand. "Hey, I'm totally down with getting out of here, but you don't think they're just going to let us walk out the front door do you?"
"I already though of a full proof escape plan. We just have to wait here a bit longer and then we'll be all set. Now come on, we have to be sure nothing else will get in."
Hiccup and Jack walked off, and Merida turned to Punzie. She still looked nervous. "Punzie, ye defended yerself. You did nae have a choice."
"I know that, I just… it doesn't make it feel any better."
"Look, this is an alien invasion. We need ta survive. And if tha means killin' a few, or more, of those nasties out there, then tha is what we gonna have ta doo."
Punzie took a deep breath and then shook her head. "You're right, you're right." She would have to toughen up and be ready for anything. Like Merida said, it was a fight for survival, and she wasn't about to cost them their lives before of her weak stomach.
The group sat in the living room weapons in hand. It had been a few hours since they had packed up, and they were ready to leave any moment now. Jack had asked why they hadn't just left now, but Hiccup said they needed a bit more time. Though they were all confused, they decided to just trust him. He hadn't let them down so far.
Hiccup was currently in the corner stroking Toothless. The dog was sitting in the lap calmly, but he was ready to attack in any intruders came in. Punzie was on the couch simply running her hand back and forth over her frying pan. To say she was nervous was an understatement.
Merida was near the TV, loading and reloading her crossbow. She was clearly growing annoyed with the constant clawing and scratching coming from outside. She felt like she was going to go insane. She kept it together though, mostly for Punzie's sake. Jack was on the floor, sleeping. He seemed the least fazed by this whole event.
The red head looked up him annoyed. "Uh, would ye wake up Frost?!" She said kicking him.
"Uh! I'm awake! Did they get in?!" He asked reaching for his hockey stick.
"If you bother to stay awake, then you'd know." Hiccup said chuckling. "You are probably the only guy I know that could sleep through an alien invasion, you know that?"
Jack sat up and smiled. "Yeah well, that's me." He said stretching his arms. "Ye know, this really is the most exciting movie night we've ever had."
They all shared a small laugh at that. If there was one thing Jack knew how to do, it was lighten the mood. Even in a grim situation like this, he could get them to laugh. They suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking. It was followed by a loud howl, and smashing.
"Is it time to go yet?" Rapunzel asked.
"Yep, just about." Hiccup said getting up. They all got up, grabbed their things, and started following him to the garage. On the way they could hear the aliens beginning to break in. Hiccup opened the garage door and then walked in. Everyone walked in after him and he locked the door.
Rapunzel turned the light on and revealed a number of different cars. "Aw, sweet! How many cars does your dad have Punize?!" Jack asked looking around excitedly.
"A lot." She answered.
"Dude, we have to take this one." Jack said making his way over towards a sports care. "Do you have any idea how fast we'll be able to speed through with this thing?!"
Hiccup ignored him and made his way to an SUV. "We're taking the truck. It's the only car here that can hold all of our supplies, and it's the only one we have the keys too." He said holding the keys up in his hand. "Punzie, tell your dad that the top of the door isn't a good hiding spot."
They all chuckled as Hiccup opened the trunk of the car. They put their supplies in the back and then began getting inside. Hiccup hopped into the driver's seat. No one argued seeing as he was the only one with a full license. "Shot gun!" Jack said jumping over the hood of the truck.
He went for the passenger's seat, but Merida stop him. "Nae so fast frost. My boyfriends the one driven' so shot gun is mine by default."
Jack turned towards Hiccup. "What can I do?" Hiccup said shrugging. Jack made a whipping sound before getting in the back with Punzie. Toothless crawled in between them. Hiccup started the car and opened the garage door. There were no aliens. They were probably all swarming the house by now. "Okay, we all ready to go?"
"Yeah, but what if they follow us?" Punzie asked.
Hiccup began driving forward as fast as he could. "They're not going to follow us." He said looking at the clock on the radio. Just when the others were about to ask why, the house suddenly blew up. "That's why…" Hiccup said.
"You blew up my house?!" Rapunzel shouted in disbelief.
"Yeah… I did… sorry about that." He said rubbing the back of his head. "I couldn't think of any other way to keep them from following us."
Jack leaned forward. "Okay dude… that was totally awesome." He said patting him on the shoulder. "You just got the highest alien kill count in the whole group! I just wish you would have told me so I could have recorded it!"
"Well, I don't think the furnace has blown up yet."
Jack leaned forward and hit the button to open the top window. He pulled out his phone and then stood up and out of the top window. "My dad is gonna kill me!" Punzie said.
"Aw come on. It does nae look that bad. It's still standin' after all." Merida said.
Another explosion came, this time much bigger than the first. They all looked back and saw that the house was no longer there. Just a big cater where it used to be. Jack jumped back down in his seat. "Hey Punzie, check this out." He held the phone to her.
It was a picture of Jack holding a thumbs up, and the explosion in the background. Punzie slapped the phone out of his hand and then crossed her arms and pouted. "Sorry Punzie."
"Next time we blow up a house, it'll be yours."
"That sounds fair."
Jack picked his phone back up. "So, where are we headed now?" He asked.
"I was thinking the school. The security room can put the whole school on lockdown, Gobber showed it to me once. Plus we'd have a huge advantage with all the cameras. And there's more than enough food to last until help shows up." Hiccup reasoned.
Merida looked back at the others. "Ah can nae really think of anywhere else to go. Ye two got any ideas?" She asked.
"Nothing." Jack said.
"Me either." Punzie added.
"The school it is then." He slammed on the gas and went speeding down the street.
The creatures could be spotted in various places through town. Every few blocks they spotted three of four of them crowded around somewhere. Thankfully there weren't nearly as many as there were back at the house, and the ones that had spotted and chased them couldn't keep up. They hadn't spotted any people, which was just creepy.
None of them had said it out loud, but they had at the very least expected to see a few… casualties. But no. Not a body, or even a person or that manner in sight. Just aliens, empty streets, and boarded up buildings. "Dude, this is freaking me out. Turn on the radio or something." Jack said.
Hiccup turned the radio on and they heard a newscaster speaking. "-have been raining down from the sky all day. We have no idea what these creatures are, or what they want. Any form of communication have been completely ignored by them. There have been very minimal casualties, as the creatures seem to being trying to bring in their captives alive."
"Well, that explains why we haven't seen any bodies." Hiccup said.
"Where these creatures are taking their captive, and where they're hiding is currently unknown. Military forces are being called in, but seeing as the creatures have appeared virtually everywhere, it may take some time. Authorities are advising everyone to stay inside, board up their windows, and try not to bring any attention to themselves."
"If you find yourself confront by the creatures, they are able to be killed with a well-placed blunt strike to the head or neck, or by cutting or stabbing the creature in the head or chest. But the best option if to try and avoid engaging them all together."
Hiccup turned the radio back off. "You heard the man. We try and avoid them at all cost."
They heard a loud scream. They all turned and looked out the window to see a group of the aliens running down the side walk. They were chasing a blond girl down the street. Jack looked closer at the girl. "Elsa?!"
"Who?" Merida asked.
Jack began putting his skates on. "Jack, wait a second! We don't know how many other are around here or-" Before he would finish Jack opened the car door and sped towards them.
"Where is he going?!" Rapunzel asked confused.
"To get himself killed!" Hiccup said stopping the car. He put it in park and then passed the gun back to Rapunzel. "You two cover us! If more than we can handle show up, I want you to pull off without, got it!"
"Ah'm nae leavin' ye!" Merida said glaring at him.
He grunted. He didn't have time to argue with her right now. "Just stay safe!" He yelled before getting out of the car. He grabbed a bat and then slammed the door before going after Jack.
Elsa Arendelle ran down the alleyway panicking. She had no idea what was going on. One minute she was working her normal shift at the Coffee shop, and the next she was being swarmed by these… whatever they were. They'd smashed their way in, taken her boss and coworkers, and had almost gotten her two.
Luckily she'd made it to the back room and locked herself in. She managed to get up to the roof through an air vent, and climbed down a pipe. For the most she had made her way through town unnoticed. But one of them had spotted her, and before she knew it a whole pack was on her tail.
She stopped when she saw a dead end at the end of the alleyway. She turned around and saw the creatures beginning to close in. She back up until she felt the wall behind her. The creatures kept closing in on her. So this is how it was going to end? Eaten by a pack of monsters.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. She was supposed to go to a top college. She was going to be a doctor. She squeezed her eyes shut not wanting to see what was coming. A thousand images flashed through her mind. Her mother and father, his friends, her sister Anna. She prayed that she was somewhere safe right now.
"Hey!" She opened her eyes when she heard a voice call out. The monster all stopped and began turning around, but suddenly a figure jumped over them. A white haired boy landed down in front of her and quickly turned to face the monsters. He was armed with a hockey stick and a golf club. "You want her, you go through me."
A/N: Second chapter up! I hope you guys like it! Elsa has made her appearance, and Jack comes in to the rescue! What's going to happen next? Read to find out! And don't forget to review too!
And as for my Rewriting History story. The truth is I hadn't really thought that one through too well. I had the basic idea, but the execution, not so much. I WILL repost and continue the story as some point, but I just need some more time to rethink the plot and hammer out the details. I am glad people asked about it though. It didn't get too many reviews so I really didn't think anyone was going to miss it. Until I do repost it, I can only offer my humblest apologies and hope you enjoy this until said time. Thanks you!
