Chapter 8

~Jack Frost~

"Um. Jack?" Eugene looked at me and then looked around where we were. "Where are we?"

"I'm not sure yet, and I don't know if it's a good thing that we got away from Cthulu." I said quietly and stood up and walked around. We were in a closet. I opened the door and peered out.

The walls had two halves. The upper half was supposed to be white but it was streaked with other substances and the bottom half had a dull pink color and the paint was chipped away in large portions. The tiles were mainly white but had random patches of color. The floor was also dirty and had small tire streaks on it.

"I don't know where we are. Come on. We have to find who's dream this is." I said and waved him on. He didn't argue. He followed me and quietly walked down the hallway. There was a musky smell, something like dirt and metal that I kept smelling and for some reason my attention was on high alert. I was shaking.

"I might actually be useful in this dream if it doesn't have to do with my fears." He said off-handedly. I could relate. Water was really my number one fear and I conquered that already. I didn't think there would be a lake in the middle of this building.

Once we turned the corner, I noticed Eugene looking really upset. I went to ask him why and he covered his face and rubbed his temples.

"We're locked in an insane asylum." He noted and I stared down the hallway and noticed the thick wooden doors and how many there were and how close together. We were in the dorm section.

"Well that isn't good. What does that usually entail?" I asked and he thought for a minute.

"Crazy psychopathic killers, sometimes zombie nurses and pretty much no way out." His analysis couldn't be more spot on.

"Where are we usually safe in these things?" I asked and he laughed.

"Nowhere. It's a maze. We have to find a way out." This annoyed me because I still didn't know who's dream it was so I didn't know how to get out of it without finding them.

"Let's look in the rooms. Maybe they're strapped down or something." Eugene noted and we began walking down and we would peer into the rooms.

The first room I looked in had blood splattered everywhere. There wasn't furniture in it and the blood pattern didn't make any sense. It just looked like someone stood in the middle of the room and exploded. Eugene didn't have any luck either. His room had a dead body, rotting with a huge amount of rats eating him.

"That's just gross." I shivered and we moved on.

Even though the rooms were extremely creepy, there was no sign of anyone in them. I didn't know where we were but something told me that we were pretty much being led straight into something. Especially when Eugene pointed out solemnly that there was an elevator and we shared the same look of defeat and eyed it and climbed in, taking a deep breath.

We went to close the small fence-like barrier and before we could we were literally dropped so fast we slammed against the ceiling of the elevator and we kept falling. I felt like we fell for a few solid minutes and finally we fell to the floor and the elevator was at the lowest level of where we were. When the elevator stopped, we slammed on the bottom.

We crawled out. We still didn't quite have our balance but we tried to get up. Eugene collapsed on the floor and we panted a bit and that's when we heard someone. It was like a whimpering. Eugene and I exchanged glances and slowly headed to where the sound was coming from. On the bottom floor, most of the lights were out so we only had a dull light every few feet guiding our steps. From the look of Eugene, I'd take it he didn't like the dark too much.

I felt like something was behind me, breathing on me but when I turned around, nothing was there. I constantly felt like wherever I wasn't looking, something was behind me, just standing there.

Eugene looked around uncomfortably too. I guess he felt the same way.

We began walking closer together, which probably wasn't very smart. If there was a crazy killer, he could kill us both in one shot but for right now we just needed comfort.

The whimpering got louder. We heard the light dripping of liquid in the background. There was another sound too. Hard to exactly say what it was. But it sounded like scratching.

"Jack." Eugene whispered and pointed to a room. "I think it's in there." He said and I listened and had to agree with him. Luckily I was with a Gryffindor and he walked over to the door before I had a chance to. He peered his head in and quite stupidly, said "Merida" rather loudly.

Before I had a chance to look, a straggly looking man, with no eyes in his sockets jumped in front of the door frame. He didn't have many teeth, and the teeth he had were black or gray. His body looked wet like he was always sweating and he just sat there and heaved. Eugene looked terrified.

The man just had this small knife. Probably about 6 inches and he just stood there, breathing until he realized he couldn't hear anything anymore and walked away.

Merida was indeed there. She was laying on a hospital bed, strapped down. My guess would be she couldn't move or she'd be stabbed to death. I didn't understand how she got there to begin with. Who brought her?

I wondered if I could cast a spell but for some foreboding reason, I could feel that I didn't have any magic left in me. Or at least there was no magic in the room.

I snuck passed Eugene and he went to stop me but quickly shut his mouth, not wanting to cause any noise. He took in a deep breath and followed shortly behind me.

As we walked into the room, more knowledge of the area was gained. There were several people in the room. Some wore strait jackets and they didn't have eyes either. Some had their whole face wrapped up in gauze that was soaked in blood. They didn't move. They just sat there. Some stood and some were on the ground.

I tried my best to figure out if the bed was strapped down to anything and from the looks of it, it was mobile. I crouched down to get a better look and stumbled back and choked back a noise. There was a small child under the bed. It looked like Merida, but she didn't have eyes either. But it was weird, it looked like she wasn't meant to have eyes. I stood up and looked at Merida and she nodded at me. For some reason I knew what she meant. That whatever was under the bed was okay.

I sucked in a deep breath and tiptoed to the other side of the bed. There were a few grunts behind me and I felt the sweat prickle down my back and forehead. My hairs were standing on end and I couldn't even express the trembling I did. Eugene stayed at the doorway, he had no idea how to be useful. It would be easier for just one of us anyway.

I looked at him and motioned pushing the bed. He got into a grabbing and lunge stance and nodded at me. I bit my lip and squeezed behind the bed. It made a squeak. They twitched. I winced.

Merida had tears in her eyes and her mouth was wrapped shut with gauze. She was visibly shaking and bound to the bed pretty badly. The shackles on her wrists were so tight she was bleeding.

I closed my eyes. I placed my hands on the metal frame of the hospital bed. I placed my foot parallel to the wall and was ready to use that to push myself quicker through the room. When I opened my eyes I saw something. A shadow behind Eugene. I couldn't help it.

"EUGENE!" Shit. He jumped and the figure disappeared. Shit. Shit. Shit.

The humanoid like creatures began to thrust and convulse in my direction. Merida squeezed her eyes shut and as fast as I could I pushed us both out of the room.

One of them caught my arm with a knife, that didn't faze me. I had a few more steps and I was out of the room. Eugene grabbed the end of the bed and with all of his force pulled me out of the room. He slammed the door shut and the movement behind the door ceased.

"Are you okay?" I had no idea if he was talking to me or Merida. Either way, neither one of us answered.

I pulled the gauze off of Merida's mouth and she let out a sob. The shackles were surprisingly easy to break off. They were pretty badly rusted.

Once I got her off of the bed, she threw her arms around me and cried. I held her tightly and kissed the top of her head.

"It's okay, Merida. We're here." I whispered and Eugene made a strangled noise. I looked at him and noticed he saw mini-Merida under the bed.

"What the hell is that?" He asked and she laughed through her tears and wiped her face.

"It's me innocence." She answered.

"Why doesn't she have eyes?" Eugene asked and she smiled.

"So she can't see this." Which made perfect sense, but why was she there? "I have'ta protect her. By extension, she's me."

"I still don't understand why she's here. Eugene didn't have a mini-me." I stated and Merida looked confused and looked at Eugene. He turned red.

"Yar names Eugene?" She smiled and he glared at her.

"Want to go back into the room? Thought not." He said childishly. For a brief moment, I forgot we were nearly in darkness.

Mini-Merida crawled out from under the bed and held Merida's hand. She was the size of a 4 year old.

"Mum?" Merida squinted her eyes at the shadow. The same presence I felt before. I turned to see the outline of a woman. But for some reason it didn't sit well with me.

"Merida. No. That isn't your mom." I shook my head and took a step back. Out of everything here in this dream, that figure terrified me the most.

"Yes it is. I know what me mum looks like." Merida took a step closer and Eugene grabbed her and threw her on the hospital bed and we took off in the other direction.

I could feel that evil behind me, I felt it getting closer. I had goose bumps everywhere and I felt my heart race painfully.

Eugene was taller than me so his legs gave him more distance. I was falling behind. My cane was in my hand and I felt the sweat make it harder to hold. For some reason, I was getting more tired. I felt my energy just drastically drop.

Eugene noticed and stopped. He let me catch up and threw me on the bed with Merida. I saw behind him as he ran. I saw The evil figure get closer. I saw the smile. Eugene must've felt it, because he smiled at me.

"Thank you, Jack." And with that he pushed as hard as he could. The bed went through double doors and lights were on. I felt like it was a safe zone. I saw him stop, smile still there. Then he was gone.

"EUGENE!" I screamed at the same time as Merida cried out "FLYNN!"

I toppled off of the bed and I couldn't help it. I passed out.

[&$#%*]

When I woke up, god knows how long later, Merida was still out cold. I jumped over to her and shook her awake. Mini-Merida just sat there, I somehow was aware that she wasn't sleeping. She was just waiting.

Merida awoke and she freaked out too and both of us dashed to the double doors. But all we saw was darkness.

We turned around and Mini-Merida was standing. She smiled and pointed. I raised an eyebrow.

"Does she know where to go?" I asked and Merida looked at me, then at her and nodded slowly. "How?" She shrugged.

Mini-Merida began walking and it unnerved Merida. She didn't want anything to happen to her other which made sense but there was nothing else we could do. We had no idea where Eugene was, but wherever he was, it wasn't nice.

[# )**& ]

We walked, for maybe a half an hour. When we finally made it to a door, we couldn't get through it. But the more I couldn't open the door, the more anxious I got. I needed this door opened. I felt it. I felt heat and I didn't like it. I struggled. I pushed. I punched. I finally gave up and grabbed my cane and hit the door knob as hard as I could, and it broke off. I kicked the door opened and we were inside in an instant. The room was warm. Like really warm. I felt like I was close to fire.

It was harder to breath in this room but I kept walking through. There was another door. I grabbed the handle and yelped. It was scorching hot. I couldn't go near it. It was too hot. Sweat was pouring down my face. I fell backwards. I knew something was behind that door. I could feel it. Apparently Merida could too because she pushed Mini-Merida out of the way and kicked the door down.

I saw Eugene. He was in the very middle of the room. He was out cold and tied in the center with fire creating a thick wall all around him. She looked terrified. I guess she was scared of fire too.

She got a brave face on and ripped her shirt and used the fabric to pull her hair back.

"I'll get him, Jack." She promised and ran into the wall of fire. Mini-Merida attempted to follow but I grabbed her and pulled her back. She thrashed and screamed but I wouldn't let her go. I couldn't let all of Merida be in trouble.

I didn't know what was happening. I felt like hours went by. It was so hard to breath. I felt like the room got smaller. Mini-Merida started sweating and stopped thrashing as much. We sat and waited. It was getting so painfully long.

Eugene was thrown out of the fire. He was badly burnt. His face was okay for the most part but he had a lot of second and third degree burns throughout his body. Merida shortly ran out after him. She closed the door and dragged him out and I crawled behind them.

We sat outside the room and looked at each other and she fell to the ground and cried.

So this chapter was kinda supposed to be Zombies but I didn't get that far lol.

Stay Tuned! Merida part 2 and theres still Rapunzel, maybe someone else before we finally see Hiccup!
