I stared blankly at the burned down hotel. 4 months ago, this was a grand hotel. Where villains and volunteers gathered. Where Frank and I got married. Where I told him I was pregnant with our first baby. The air was thick with sorrow and ash. I was angry at myself. Angry for not being there to prevent the fire. Not being there….to save Frank. The wind blew, and my long, dark hair flew from my shoulders. I’m pretty sure Olaf started the fire. I looked around, and headed straight towards the pond, my swollen feet kicking ash and random objects. V.F.D. really done it now. I thought to myself. The pond was drawing closer and closer until I came to a complete halt. I felt like someone was following me. My hands were ready, enclosing over my prized knives. I swiftly turned around, expecting a villain to knock me out. But no one was there. Sighing, I turned back around only to see Ernest glaring down at me.
‘’Wh- what are you doing here?’’ I stuttered, amazed at his mysterious appearance. His serious face turned into a scowl as he said, ‘’what am I doing here? Look around you stupid girl. You’re on my grounds.’’ He was right. After all, I was standing on what was once his hotel. ‘’ I came here to see the place where my brothers and I once stood together. And also look for things that might’ve been saved.’’ He said the last part in a dark tone, like there was a message behind it, one that I will never comprehend. ‘’I’m sorry for your losses Ernest, I really am. But did Frank get saved?’’ I asked, with hopefulness in my tone. Ernest was quiet, and stood still for a moment. I rubbed my bulging belly and hoped he wouldn’t notice.
Kit and I got pregnant around the same time, she being married to Dewey Denouement and I being newly wed to Frank Denouement. Kit and I instantly clicked when we first met, and I could see the strong, courageous woman behind her brown eyes.
‘’yes, he did. And he’s out looking for you.’’ Ernest said as he started walking away. I followed after him. ‘’Wait! Why would he be looking for me? He knows where I am.’’ Ernest stopped in his tracks and said, ‘’He thought the villains that escaped the fire have taken you. At least that’s what Olaf told him.’’ My hands balled into fists, but quickly unraveled. ‘’Alright. I’ll have to go find him then.’’ I said. Ernest laughed evilly and whispered in my ear, ‘’good luck with that.’’ And with that, he started walking again. But before he reached the road, he said, ‘’and by the way. The only reason why I didn’t kill you is because you are carrying my brother’s child. If you weren’t…….’’ and he was gone.
