CHAPTER 1: Escape!
HICCUP'S POV
"Dad, please don't hurt him!" I yelled as they pinned me and Toothless to the ground to prevent us from escaping. "Dad don't! Please!... I beg you don't hurt Toothless!" I yelled again but this time, my father, Stoick the vast; the Chief replied to me "the dragon? Hiccup you befriended a dragon! What were you thinking!?" he yelled at me with a scowled face. This was all happening in the arena in afternoon after I was nearly killed by the monstrous nightmare after I tried taming it but my dad came rushing here hitting the iron bars of the arena with his hammer causing the dragon to flap out and came after me and with that happening I screamed out my lungs afraid to die. Toothless must have heard it because the next thing I know Toothless was there fighting the monstrous nightmare. The big red dragon returned to its cages in defeat.
"Please dad take all your anger out of me but please don't hurt Toothless" I said. Then people started coming down to the arena with swords, axes, and daggers to kill the dragon. But because of Stoick's anger they were just standing at bay because the last thing you wanted to do is get close to an angry Stoick. "They've killed hundreds of us Hiccup!" Stoick said in an angry voice. "And they killed thousands of us" yelled by another person in the crowd, Heather, one of my friends. Sending a lot of gasps in the crowd that also surprised me because I didn't expect her to do that...well because she was always shy around people, and standing up to the Chief like that... Well it surprised me. "And how dare you talk to your Chief like that! Arrest her!" My Dad said. She was hand cuffed at the wrist with a rope and brought down beside me. "I'm sorry Hiccup I tried my best to stop her, but she was just too strong" Heather said to me in a low voice. "Don't worry it's not your fault but thank you though...for standing up for me" I said to calm her from crying "but right now we need a plan to save ourselves and Toothless" I added.
People were watching all of this happen in the arena. They were shouting at me and Heather with words like Traitor! Devil! And other things that I dare would not mention. Then a thought came through my mind "why would they be here? Nobody would come here at this time of day, so why are they here?" Then I saw a certain blonde, Astrid Hofferson standing in front of the crowd that refused to make eye contact with anyone else, staring at the ground. Then it hit me "if I just went after her...if I just came after her this wouldn't be happening" I sighed in defeat with a tear running down my cheek because of the feeling of betrayal and many other feelings including a broken heart. You see she was the one that discovered me keeping Toothless at the cove and she ran to my father and to the whole village to tell everything about me taming a night fury. I thought they wouldn't believe her because who would believe that Hiccup the useless befriended or tamed a night fury and all of the dragons a night fury. So I thought that nobody would believe her... But I was wrong.
Then all those feelings turned to an extreme anger that my hands shaked while tied at my back "All of this wouldn't be happening if you all just believed me! I told all of you that I caught a night fury and what did you do! None of you believed me! None of you!" I yelled in a now silent arena. "Especially you!, you're my father, I'm your own son for thor's sake, but instead you sent me home like some deranged guy that was talking nonsense, what because you all thought that a useless like me can't catch a night fury! Then you're all wrong, I caught one!" I yelled loud enough for the whole arena to hear this. But that didn't stop them from shouting angry comments to me. "Then why didn't you kill it son, you could have brought me the heart or the head and show us that you're a true Viking!" Stoick asked, bringing the whole arena to silence waiting for my answer.
I looked at Toothless felling the same thing again when we first met. Then I looked to the angry Vikings waiting also for the truth. "Because when I found him...and looked at his eyes... I saw he was weak as I was...and I saw myself" I answered to them with a tear running down to my cheek. Then the uproar and the harsh comments began again about me taking pity at a dragon. Then Stoick shouted "You betrayed your own people son... your own tribe... Our laws...and most of all you betrayed me your own father" I looked up at him when he said those last words with anger written all over my face. How could he say that to my face, he never even treated me like his son, how could he even say that without even having a second thought, he must be really heartless for a father.
"Is it my fault that all of you can't change, Is it my fault that I always screw up, Is it my fault that I trained him, Is it my fault that all of you are pathetic?!" I yelled at them, trying to hold my tears in my eyes. Everyone gasped, giving more comments at me giving threats and insults. "You're no son of mine..." he said and turned without even turning back. "Mom would have understood me if she was still here" I thought to myself tears brimming down on my cheeks. She was the only one that understood me always when my father didn't. "I hereby, Stoick the vast banish you, Hiccup horrendous haddock the third including Heather by committing treachery and for aiding the enemy" my father said to the crowd. I still didn't move from my position after hearing I still kept my head bowed facing the ground because I don't care anymore if he disowned me because I already felt disowned since they started treating me like an outcast. But now I really am an outcast. I feel guilty though for dragging Heather with me being an outcast. I turned to her and said "I'm really sorry..." with tears flowing out of my eyes. "It's not your fault and its ok for me actually nobody ever treated me like a friend here except you and Scunner" She said with tears also going down her cheeks.
"Who would like the honour of cutting the heart of the mighty beast down?" My father said to the crowd and started cheering about killing the night fury. I can see the other teens fighting at each other deciding who would kill it. "I'll kill it!" said a voice behind us that shocked me and Heather because the person that said it was none other than Scunner, my best friend, "I'll kill it, to show useless over here what he should have done that day" Scunner said with a smirk looking down at me.
Other than Heather, He was also the first one that saw me release Toothless to the forest, He was also there when I learned all the tricks that I had in training, He and Heather helped me keep it a secret from the village... And now he was going to be the one that's going to kill Toothless. I looked at him shocked at he was about to do. "See Hiccup that is the Viking way and it will never ever change" my fa... Stoick said to me without looking at my eyes.
"Scunner! Don't you dare!" Heather yelled at Scunner with an angry voice and as for me, I was still looking at him, shocked from what he's about to do. He bent down to his knee to fix his sandals for a while and whispered to me "take care of Heather for me will yah" that knocked me back to my senses and got ready for what he's about to do. He stood up getting the dagger from Stoick's hand" Alright Scunner, go ahead and show to us... and to him what he should have done that day" He started Kneeling down on Toothless's chest to cut his heart but instead he cut all of the ropes that was restraining him from moving. A loud gasp escaped at the mouths of people in the arena. A random Viking jumped and pinned Scunner to the ground to prevent him escaping from what he had done. They were still shocked from what Scunner did forgetting that Toothless the night fury has escaped from the restrains and locks that was keeping him from moving. Toothless fired multiple plasma shots at the arena to send everyone in panic and running for their life and evading Toothless's plasma shots.
"GO HICCUP! GO!" Scunner shouted. With that Toothless got behind us and started biting the ropes to free me and Heather, when were already free I quickly mounted Toothless and Heather followed. Toothless run through the gate and I stopped him from taking of just yet. Then we looked at Scunner while being pinned down to the ground. "Go Hiccup I'll be fine!, remember your pro-" was the last word he said before being knocked out by the man that was pinning him down. That made me wanted to go back in there and get Scunner out of there because from what he had done it's a death penalty for him but we were stopped as soon as they fire bolas and arrows at us, luckily they all missed. We flew to the ocean and not knowing what to do in our new life... but I was sure at something that we will never ever go back to this place.
