Frozen Heart Chapter 05.
After the incident Zuritan got a big scold from his father.
"Are you nuts, son?" shouted Mickey "What you were thinking, just go there and kill? Two adults weren't enough to defeat that monster!"
"But... but she humiliated me and..." answered Zuritan, his voice was weak and full with shame.
"Don't be this proud and stupid. That was your luck your mother just went there or you would be already dead. Do you really want it?"
"N-no dad..." hunched his shoulders Zuritan.
"Now go back to your room and stay there while you not put aside that bloodthirsty pride of yours." the kid bit his bottom lips, his shoulders has shaken.
"How you can just understand it?" shouted and rushed away.
"You were a bit too harsh to Zuritan. Don't you think?" asked Mina. Mickey let out a sigh.
"I know, but what should I do? The Dragul Blood came out on him much stronger than any of his ancestors had. We need to teach him how to use his powers wise."
Mina nodded and touched his hand "I'm sure you will do your best."
Later someone knocked on the young vampire's door. Zuritan sulked on his bed and cursed everyone to everything.
"Leave me!" he shouted out, then the door opened and Emily peeked in.
"Brother..." she started.
"What?" frowned Zuritan, cutting her word.
"Can you help me?"
"No!"
"Please... I... I want to bring some food for the prisoner... But I'm scared..."
"You nuts! That female almost killed you! Then why you make her dinner?"
"B-because... because she must be hungry..." fidgeted Emily shyly.
"Tss... if you forgot, I'm grounded for eternity..."
"It takes just a few minute. Please Zuritan..." the girl almost begged with big bambi eyes.
The boy rolled his eyes, then frowned and jumped off the bed.
"But if they catch me again, that will be your fault. Understood?"
"Understood. Now let's go." Emily hold his hand and gently dragged along. Outside she picked up a small bowl with bread, meat and water and the kids sneaked to the prison level.
"By the way... why you act this nice to that monster?" whispered Zuritan grumbling.
"I don't think she's a monster." answered Emily "For a moment I sensed kindness and confusion from her. And... if she's a monster like you say, then we would be already dead."
"I hate when you talk like an adult." said Zuritan with a grimace.
"Hehe sorry." smiled awkwardly the female. As they walked downstairs the kids heard voices from the cell the Huntress was locked in.
"What' is it?" Emily changed a look with Zuritan and hurried there. In her cell the female sat in the same corner, her eyes were closed, sleeping. But her whole body trembled and muttered.
"No... no it's not the end. Run, I'll be fine... No, please don't say this. I can't... I don't want to kill you... Huntsman... HUNTSMAN!" she screamed up and awakened.
Her body was covered in sweat, gasped heavy, her eyes were wide and tears streamed along her face. Huntress glared at her hands, then buried her head into her palm. The two mouse watched it startled. When she felt someone staring at her, Huntress raised her head and her eyes met with Emily's and Zuritan's. The pain and agony turned into rage and hatred.
"E...everything is okay?" stammered Emily, holding on her brother with one arm.
"You... little vermins!" yelled Huntress and jumped to the cell, hitting the grid with her fist and claws "Get lost or I kill you!" her roar scared Emily and made her tremble. The cat's growl turned into a moan, Holding a hand on her chest tottered back to the corner and sat.
"Pff this wasn't scary at all..." frowned Zuritan a little "And stop the crying Emily!"
"S-sorry..." sniffed the girl.
"You're too sissy..." he rolled his eyes.
"Of course. I'm a girl after all!" she said back.
"Will you just shut up and leave me finally?" shouted again the cat.
"Come Emily, leave this stupid mortal." nudged his sister Zuritan.
"Just one more moment..." the girl slowly went closer to the cell and put down the tray outside the cat still could reach. "Here, I brought some food..."
"I don't need any!" barked the Huntress.
"But you must be hungry..."
"Just get lost!"
Emily flattened her ears sadly and left. Zuritan watched the cat for one more moment then followed his sister.
Meanwhile in the throne room Mickey and Oswald conferred what to do with their captive.
"I'm still on the same opinion, Mick." spoke the rabbit "That female is dangerous. We must kill her before she does it!"
"I understand it, Ozzie. I'm anxious about my family too. But... maybe we can get some information about her mission"
"Or more things."
"That's right. Then we discussed this. Tomorrow we will interrogate. Be my guest, Ozzie."
"Gladly. A bed would be nice now." Ozzie yawned, so they went to take some rest.
Hours passed, it was a great silent in the castle. Down in her cell the Huntress couldn't fell asleep. She not even touched the bowl Emily got her. She sighed and rubbed her ears annoyed.
"Stop hiding. I know you there." said. From behind an ugly armor a small figure stepped out. It was Zuritan.
"How did you know?" narrowed his eyes the boy.
"You're loud like a wild boar herd."
"Hey, I'm not a pig!" frowned Zuritan.
"How annoying you brats are..." Huntress glanced at him with one eye "What you not understand from leaving me alone?"
"I found you annoying too, and I hate you. I would gladly kill you. But..." said Zuritan "...I not understand something."
"Hmpff..."
"You were dead. Everyone said. But you still here. How? You really a demon?"
"Me? Demon? Hahaha this is funny!" laughed the cat, but it was bittersweet "No, I'm not a demon. I'm a heartless."
"Heartless?" somehow Zuritan's stubborn slowly changed into curiosity. The Huntress sighed.
"It seems I can't kick you out..." through her hair tired "What you want?"
"What a heartless is?" repeated the kid, crawling a bit closer suspiciously.
"As the title says, I not have a heart. That's why my body is cold and not hear throbbing from the inside."
"I thought nobody can live without a heart." raised a brow Zuritan.
"It's complicated... now know what you wanted. Leave me..." she faced against the wall an curled up. The young vampire stared at her back for a minute before he asked.
"Who's that Huntsman?" by the question her shoulders twitched.
"From where..."
"You shouted in your dream. It was so pathetic..." Zuritan turned back to his annoying personality.
"Tss its nothing... Now get lost..."
"And I thought you're a cruel demon..." huffed the kid and slowly left. Huntress sighed sadly.
"If they just knew it... what happened..." muttered and fell into another restless dream.
