Chapter 5
The Boy, the Demon
The boy appeared dead, just hanging in the tree by the bola, unmoving. Elsa knew she should be afraid, terrified even, yet, for some reason, she wasn't. She was feeling slightly curious, and a pang of sorrow for the creature in front of her. Cautiously, she made her way up towards the boy, trying to see if he was even alive. When she came within five feet of the tree, the boy moved suddenly, with labored breathing, startling Elsa, and sending her stumbling back. The boy's eyes opened, and looked around. Crystal, hyperventilating, materialized a sword made of ice in her hand.
Now she was terrified.
Aiming her ice-sword at the demon boy, she took a deep breath to try to calm her rapid heartbeat, but the boy didn't move. All he did was crack his slightly glazed eyes, and stared at her, which communicated one thing to her.
"Help me. Please."
Elsa shook her head to clear the thought. How could she help the beast that had been rampaging her country for the last few months. She knew she had to kill it, yet she couldn't. She couldn't move, couldn't look away, couldn't do anything. All she could do was look into the eyes of the boy, and stare.
Breaking from her trance, Elsa ever so carefully walked up to the boy, and raised her sword. The boy stared at her, then looked away.
"He seems almost ready to die," thought Elsa, raising her sword in false bravery, aiming for her target, and prepared to drive the blade into the chest of the figure before her.
"I can't do it," she thought, her sword going limp in her hand. Even though she knew that this boy could kill her people, even though he hadn't yet, she just couldn't kill him.
Knowing that her decision might cost her her own life, she slid the blade of her sword underneath the closest rope to her, and gently pulled towards herself, slowly severing the rope. The slight sound cause the boy's eye to snap open. When she slit the second rope, the demon boy's eye snapped to look at her. When the next rope was cut, the entire apparatus started to sag in the tree. When Elsa cut the last rope, the boy half-jumped, half-flew out of the bola, and pinned her down with one hand, wrenching the sword from her grasp with his free hand, throwing it at a tree, where it stuck, quivering in the wood.
Elsa started to hyperventilate again, her heart beating a million times a minute. She stared up at her attacker, who was now bearing his teeth, or more accurately, fangs(as they were as sharp as razors), wings extended and angled slightly backwards, and holding her by the throat, preventing her from getting up off the forest floor. As she stared, Elsa looked into the boy's eyes, and saw that the pupils were not round, like a human's, but they were slitted, like a cat's. And those slitted pupils were now just a thin vertical line in each of the eyes.
The boy then emitted a low growl, then pulled his head back and gave off this inhuman, otherworldly scream, which seemed to originate from some primordial land, right in Elsa's face. Then, he got up off her, and Elsa just lied there on the ground.
The boy took a few steps back, his intelligent eyes never leaving the woman in front of him.
"There's the beast! And it's attacking the queen!" someone yelled.
The boy and Queen Elsa both looked up the hill, and saw Anna, Kristoff, General Edward and the soldiers running down the incline. Then, an arrow landed in the boy's shoulder, causing a pained scream to come from him, and he fell to one knee.
"Elsa, RUN!" screamed Anna.
Elsa started to scramble up the hill, and threw herself into Anna's arms as Kristoff, the general, and the soldiers engaged the demon-boy. The boy got back up, yanked the arrow out of his shoulder with a gritted face, and turned to engage the soldiers. The soldiers removed their swords and started to swing them at the boy's head and torso, but the boy skillfully dodged each of their swings.
The queen saw how the demon boy was fighting. Behind the cold exterior of his face, there was a fearful expression. He was fighting because he wanted to escape, and to not fight. Kristoff got a lucky swing and slashed the boy's shirt, cutting his torso, causing the boy to growl in pain. He turned towards Kristoff, who started to cower in fear, yet he still stood his ground. The boy jumped on top of the young man, and prepared to shoot fire at his face.
Just when he was about to release his fire, the boy had his legs kicked out from under him, causing him to misfire, and the blast flew off and hit a tree causing a small explosion on the trunk, which cause the tree to burn. The boy felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. Then, everything started to swirl and loose its color.
Then, his vision went dark.
Dang it, it's another one of those blasted cliffhangers! Don't worry, You wont have to wait long. Just hold tight until the weekend for the longest chapter yet. And I mean, it's a loooooooong one. Also, I'm holding a contest to see who can guess the boy's name. I won't change it, as I already have his name picked out, I just want to see what suggestions you guys, and gals have. The winner will receive a sneak peek into the next chapter. Be sure to tell your friends and family, as I'd like to see those numbers go up. Until next time, this is Fossil Geek, saying so long. I'll be back.
