As desired, no death
He growled as he shoved his former friend off him and clawed his way towards the end of the cog and leapt over the edge. Merida’s bright eyes met his and latched on, trust overflowing the blue orbs. The shrill cackling of his former friend followed him as he dove down.
He wasn’t moving fast enough. He wasn’t going to reach her before she hit the ground and her head—No. That wasn’t going to happen. He made a promise to her father. And to himself.
Growling with determination, he twisted onto his side. He shot a stream of web down to her. It seemed to take forever as he sped through the glass and metal debris at an achingly slow pace. He risked a quick glance away from her downward spiraling form to shoot another web up to the gears.
The young man jerked to a stop as he dangled and waited for the web to—A smile creased his mouth as it latched around her stomach, clasping her tightly. Her fiery curls bounced around her face as she swung precariously above the floor. Her blue eyes met his, and she smiled. Relief filled his heart. She was safe. It was fine. Nothing was—
A black blur cut across his vision and his web. An animalistic howl tore from his lips as he watched her hair swell around her face as she plummet down again; the floor eagerly reached up to kiss her head. He glared after the speeding away figure cloaked in shadows; his adrenaline pushing him to tear his former friend’s throat out.
A panicked scream snagged his attention. “Jack!”
“Merida!” he cried out as his eyes turned back to the plunging form. He released his web and stretched his arms above his head as he dove down. He shot out another web. It latched onto her. With a quick movement, he pulled her weight up to him and pushed his arms against his sides to speed up his movement. Their bodies collided into each other. Her arms latched around his shoulders as he twisted onto his back and shot a web out.
It snagged one of the support beams, and they jolted to a stop. Merida buried her face into his neck and let out a strangled whimper. Slowly, Jack lowered them to the ground. With their feet firmly planted beneath them, Jack ripped off his mask and brought Merida’s lips to his. Her fingers tangled in his hair as he held her closer. He choked back a sob as he broke away and tucked her head under her chin. “I was so scared.”
“I wasn’t. I trusted you.”
He took in a shaky breath as he pressed her firmly to him, feeling her warmth, feeling her breathe, feeling her alive.
