Chapter 43
A\N: it's impossible to get rid of writers block. - Meg 2021.
it'll only happen once.
just once.
Burt drank his water, but just Demo glaring at Sven is enough.
"do you feel better?" Sven asked.
though the hint of worry, didn't make any sense.
Burt was fine, he didn't understand why Sven started to become worried from out of the blue
"why are you so worried?" Burt asked, clearly Sven gulped at that answer.
he been in the toppats the longest.
well, longer then Burt.
"ehh, lots of people died due to.. the shots they got. none never made it alive" Sven shrugs.
Demo wasn't worried of that, clearly she healed from that as well.
"oh.." Burt didn't know that.
of course that had to keep him away from all the bloody stuff. for 8 months he spent all his time in a office.
fuck.
Sarah stared at the ground, clearly disturbed.
Sven decided to place his hand on Burt's.
possibly for comfort.
"don't touch him." Demo spat.
Sven took his hand away, not wanting to die.
Burt didn't want Sven to take his hand away, but of course, Demo had to stop that.
Burt came closer to Sven and gave him a peck on the cheek.
Demo rolled her eyes once again, hating Sven.
Burt placed his hand on Sven's soft blonde hair.
he suddenly buried his hand under Sven's bangs and lifted it up.
to reveal a scar.
it's light pink.
like the scar on his cheek and chest.
thank god Sven doesn't has the bandages anymore, they were getting annoying.
"heh... getting memories?" Sven chuckled, causing Burt to laugh.
"you gave me heart attack." Burt said, tracing the mark.
this was confusing Demo.
"this is confusing..." Demo spoke, causing the two to look at Demo.
Sarah just facepalmed.
"oh! uhh, nothing!" Burt laughed.
Demo smelled lies
but she was better off not questioning it anyway.
"anyway, we cannot stay here forever" Demo said, getting up.
might as well agree with that.
well, they might as well agree to anything, can i get an amen?
they walked off, finally.
they all didn't want to deal with more bullshit.
Sarah was getting bored of what see was seeing.
trees, trees, trees, trees... and more trees
it could have get any boring.
Demo didn't know where they were.
but the place might burn on fire.
oh wait..
Demo suddenly smelled smoke, like if someone was rubbing rocks.
Demo turned around, seeing matches on ground.
"how the fuck di-"
before Demo could finish, the fire started to spread, going onto the tree nearby.
"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!" Demo cried
Sven got Sarah away from the tree by pulling her arm.
they had to get away before shit starts.
but of course, it was spreading faster.
Demo ran, while leading everyone left.
look, how many matches does it take to burn a forest. no, that wasn't a question
just a few matches, here and there.
and the forest would become toast.
"who the fuck left these matches?!" Sven cried.
someone must have let their STUPID matches here. they are really, really careless.
the fire has pretty much burned almost everything.
large branches, falling everywhere.
Sarah couldn't keep up anymore, she started coughing, but she knew she'll be fine.
well, say that to Sven's face, Sarah!
Sven turned around to see Sarah, lying on the ground.
Sven ran to her and scooped her up from the ground, and running back.
once Sven was back to Burt and Demo, a tree fell on the spot Sarah was lying on.
thank god Sven came back for her.
all four of them, surrounded by smoke and fire, trying to find a way out.
Demo found the way out and run towards there.
Burt and Sven followed.
they finally made it out of the burning forest.
Sven placed Sarah on the ground, also collapsing after.
Burt was catching his breath, placing his hand on his chest.
Demo stared at the burning forest.
it burning to ashes.
Demo sighed, she couldn't do anything about it.
"c'mon.. we gotta go away from this burning hell." sh spoke as she walked to Sven to poke his head.
Burt sighed and picked Sarah up.
poor Sarah, the smoke around her was too much.
of course, she's 7. it would make sense why.
Sven got up from the ground, having dirt all over his face.
he start to dust the dirt off so he could open his eyes.
Burt just laughed and wished he could help.
but his hands are full by carrying Sarah.
once the dirt cleared off, Sven opened his eyes, smiling at Burt.
they started walking, following Demo from behind.
soon enough,the burning forest cleared from their sight.
right below them, lay a rushing river, making peaceful sounds.
the rain never came.
good.
well at least.
it was better like this.
everyone was quiet, all they could hear was their footsteps and the leaves crunching under them...
it was soon sunset, now they were walking across an empty beach.
Sarah woke up, not realizing where she is.
"w-w-what happened?" Sarah asked, the only voice that broke the silence around them.
"you passed out due to the smoke back there!" Burt exclaimed.
Demo was having a hard time keeping herself still due to the oddly shaped sand.
she managed to trip, and muffled under the sand.
she muffled something they couldn't quite catch.
Burt placed Sarah down to help Demo.
But pulled on her tail, causing Demo to screech.
and soon, Demo was pulled out of the sand, causing Demo to whimper in pain.
"ouch, that hurts..." Demo whispered. she looked at the sunset, the moon was coming up and Demo couldn't move on.
"guess we'll stay here.." Demo whispered.
Sven stood there, looking at how far they made it through his memories.
they were pretty far, far away from that noisy city.
far away from Sweden..
far, far away....
Burt walked over to the dozed off Sven, waving his hand on his face.
Sven blinked back to reality, looking at Burt.
"you dozed off. are you already tired?" Burt asked, raising a brow.
Sven wasn't sure how to answer Burt's question.
instead, Sven shook his head.
"no, not at all! why?" Sven asked. he didn't want to leave Burt hanging.
Burt gave Sven a soft smile and kiss his cheek.
"no reason.." Burt smiled again and left.
Sven sighed and walked towards Burt and where everybody was.
----------------------------------------------------------
finally..
night.
Demo was not used to having to sleep on sand, but it'll do.
Sarah use once of the backpacks as a pillow, since she didn't want sand in her eyes.
Sven stayed awake,fiddling around with the sand.
the night sky shined on the water, making it reflect the moon.
Burt was also awake, he sat next to Sven.
a sigh escaped from Burt's lips.
he rested his head on Sven's shoulders.
"you should go to sleep.." Sven said, looking at Burt.
Burt shook his head.
"i'm not closing my eyes."Burt's grip tightened on Sven's hand.
"alright, alright.." Sven chuckled.
Burt dug his hand onto the sand,feeling all the small rocks.
"why don't you wanna sleep?" Sven asked, making Burt sigh.
"i just.. afraid to close my eyes.." Burt whispered.
strange..
but Sven could understand.
that nightmare Sven wished he could get rid of, but it he can't do anything about it...
so they just sat there, staring at the moon.
wondering what will happen tomorrow..
-------------------------------------------------------------
fuck you writers block.
