Frozen Heart Chapter 04.
Endless darkness. There was nothing around, just the heavy emptiness, however voices surrounded everywhere.
"Huntsman! Huntsman!"
"What's wrong Molly? Why you crying?"
"I-I killed a bunny, but I didn't want."
"There, there. Don't cry. It's our work to kill animals."
"I know... I hate the Queen! She's so cruel"
"She's just angry, understand it."
"I try... Huntsman... I feel so strange."
"What do you mean?"
"Feel kinda empty here. I don't feel my heart beating... and my hands and cheeks are cold."
"It's normal. You will accustom it."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"I love you Huntsman..."
The voices and chuckle blurred into one chaotic mess. Then a small light appeared with a new sound, and it slowly grew bigger and louder.
"What a day... and I need to... Let's see..."
She stirred and slowly opened her eyes. When her vision cleared, the first thing she saw was a sharp scalpel approaching her chest.
Loud scream echoed through the whole castle. The cat rolled off the table she laid on and jumped behind. Her feet slipped on the floor and collapsed to her knees. The other person crawled back till his back not hit the wall.
"I-i-i-i-it's alive!" shouted on a really tiny voice.
"Wh-where am I? And where are my clothes?" just now realized she was naked, only wore a pants. The Huntress blushed and hid her chest glaring at the other, a tall dog angry.
The door opened and Mickey and Oswald entered in hurry. Both of them were bandaged.
"What's wrong Goofy?" the Count asked, but his voice was cut when he realized the cat.
"What the..." Ozzie also startled.
"Count!" Goofy quickly ran to the others and hid behind them "I...I dunno what happened! I just wanted to start the autopsy, but suddenly... she awakened."
The Huntress hissed and bared her fangs.
"Grrr... we have something to finish, Count." growled the female and charged. Suddenly two armor soldier appeared and pinned her down. "Hey! Nghhh... release me you tin cans!" shouted as she struggled against the guards.
"What should we do Mick?" leaned to his friend Ozzie "I didn't expect she still alive."
"Me neither..." answered the Count.
"What the heck is her then? A demon?" suggested Goofy.
"We will find out later. Guards! Take her into the prison." ordered Mickey, whereof the armors rose up, holding the restless Huntress tight.
They left he room, followed by the Count and Oswald. Passed some passageway and went down on a long stair, arriving to the prison level. The guards stepped to one cell, opened it's door and tossed in the female hard, slamming the door behind her. The Huntress knelt up and stared at her captors with rage.
"Damn you all!" sneered "Once I get out of here I kill you and your bunny friend!"
"I won't give you that chance." answered the Count with a cold, ominous tone,then turned to leave.
"At least give my clothes back!" shouted after him the female, but they already left. A minute later a ghost phased through the ceiling of her prison and dropped her clothes down.
Upstairs the two adults headed back to the throne room, when they met up with the kid Zuritan.
"Dad, everything is okay?" he asked "I heard that mad female just cam back from death and tried to attack you."
"Yes, its true Zuritan, but please leave your questions later..." sighed Mickey, rubbing his head "We need to find a solution what to do with her..."
"O-kay... And where you brought her?"
"To the prison level. Hey..." grabbed the kid's hand "Don't do anything stupid, right? That female is dangerous. Sta away from her."
"Fine dad..." rolled his eyes Zuritan. Mickey let him go and ruffled his head.
"Now go back to your mom"
"Okay dad." the kid waited till the others not vanished behind a corner and went to the other way.
Back in her cell the Huntress grumbled to herself as she sat in a corner and pulled on her trousers.
"What a shame... I never was in a stupid situation like this..." she then felt someone is watching her. Raised her head and noticed Zuritan standing near the cell, glaring at the cat with a serious, almost dreadful look, that was somehow funny to a young kid.
"Tsss great..." Huntress frowned and turned back to her trousers' buttoning.
"Don't look away!" demanded Zuritan, his red eyes sparkled.
"Oh... shut up kid!" she now took on the boots.
"I'm not a kid! Do you even know who you talking with?"
"Yeah... a really annoying brat that ruined my job."
"Grrrr how dare you...?"
"What the heck you want?" barked angry the Huntress, hissing at Zuritan.
"Revenge for everything you had done! Hurting my father and sister, also you humiliated me!"
"Revenge? Don't make me laugh!" chuckled the cat "And what are you staring at? Never see a female before?"
"I'm absolutely serious! And don't change the theme!" stomped with his foot the mouse, indeed his cheek turned a bit red.
"Yeah, yeah... chill down brat." Huntress managed to take on her shirt when Zuritan smelt something salty, yet sweet and toothsome.
"You... bleeding?" asked with a little gulp.
Huh? Oh great..." on her right arm was a smaller wound that bled a little "Maybe I got it when those stupid tin cans grabbed me..." she sighed and licked the wound.
Zuritan watched her, while inside his instincts slowly awakened. He clenched his fist to held back his growing hunger. The Huntress noticed it and her eyes shined up.
"Oh what's wrong? Little baby just not hungry?" mocked and smeared some blood onto her fingers "Maybe you want to taste it?" reached out her hand with the same wicked grin.
"S-shut up. Or I kill you and suck out your blood." Zuritan's voice stammered.
"Yeah... of course! I bet you never hunt food before. Always mommy and daddy brought you the 'meal'."
"I'm strong enough to hunt on my own!" stated the boy.
"Then show it! Come and kill me! See? I offer it for you." teasingly lowered the shirt and put some hair away, showing up her bare neck.
The position was too provocative, maybe a bit erotic for an adult. However her trick worked. Zuritan struggled even more with himself, gasped heavily as his fangs grew bigger. He made a step closer, when a voice dragged him back to reality.
"Zuritan Dragul! What are you doing here?" it was his mother, Mina, who entered.
"M...mom?" the kid blinked a bit confused. Mina immediately jumped and pulled the boy away.
"What on Earth are you doing here? Your father didn't tell you to stay away from the prison?"
"I... I..." Zuritan glanced down ashamed. Mina huffed then stared at the Huntress angry.
"You wicked female! How dare you use that virgin blood on a kid?" sneered.
"Heh... but it worth it." smirked back the cat "What a little demon you raise..."
"Shut your mouth, you monster" growled Mina and trotted away, taking Zuritan with her.
"Tssss... spoilsport..." sighed the Huntress with a bit more serious face and licked the blood off her fingers.
