And let the story begin!
Hiccup and the other teens walked into the Great Hall, only to find it full of villagers, shouting and yelling at the top of their lungs at their chief
One women was crying saying "My baby! My baby!" through sobs, as her husband tried to comfort her
"Calm down!" Stoick shouted, silencing the hall "We'll find the missing children as soon as we can! Me, Gobber, Mulch and Bucket will search the east and south side of the island. I need volunteers to search the north and west side"
Hiccup pushed his way though the crowed, the other riders behind him
"We'll go" he said
Stoick seemed to hesitate for a moment. He looked at Gobber, who shrugged.
"Alright. Be back by sundown" he said "The rest of you return to your daily retinues! We still have a village to keep!"
As the villagers exited the Great Hall, Hiccup walked up to his father, who sat down on his throne with a sigh
"What's happened?" he asked
"Two children, Gustav and three year old Freya, went missing last night" Stoick explained
"What?" Astrid said, shocked
"I need you kids to stick to your dragons, we don't know what we're dealing with. I want you all back by sundown. On the dot. Understand?" Stoick asked
They nodded
"Good. Now go. And... be careful" Stoick said
Hiccup gave one last nod, before following the other teens out and hopping onto Toothless and taking to the skies
10 minutes later
"Alright! Ruff, Tuff and 'lout, you guys search the west side! Me, Astrid and 'legs will search the north side!" Hiccup ordered over the howling wind
"Aw what?! Your leaving me with the twins?!" Snotlout complained
"Yes, Snotlout. I'm leaving you with the twins" Hiccup said, rolling his eyes
"So unfair!" Snotlout huffed, crossing his arms over his chest
"Life is unfair! Get over it!" Astrid said
"When you get to the west side, I want Snotlout to search the beach and the twins to search the woods!" Hiccup said "Astrid, when we get to the north side, you search the beach and Fishlegs you get the woods. I'll search the skies and then search them on the west side!"
With that, they split up.
With Fishlegs and Meatlug
"Come on, girl. There has to be something here" Fishlegs said
He and Meatlug were in the middle of the Northern Forest, walking so they wouldn't miss anything
When he didn't find anything, Fishlegs continued to walk into the woods, not noticing the small, hidden cave in the side of the cliff
With Snotlout and Hookfang
"Ug! There's nothing here!" Snotlout shouted, throwing his arms up in the air
That's when he tripped on something, causing a mouth full of sand
Snotlout got up on his hands and knees spitting out sand
He angrily turned to see what he tripped on, only to find a razor sharp yellow tooth.
"What in the name of Thor?" Snotlout said, picking up the tooth
With Hiccup and Toothless
Hiccup and Toothless soared in the skies
It was sunset. Their curfew.
Hiccup sighed "Nothing. Maybe the other Riders or Dad and the other adults found them"
The Rider and Dragon turned around and flew back to the village.
Time skip to: The Great Hall, Just Past Sundown
"Did you find anything?" Stoick asked, as the teens entered the Great Hall
"Nothing. All I found was this really cool tooth" Snotlout said, holding up the yellow tooth
"Let me see that" Fishlegs said, taking the tooth out of Snotlout's hand, earning his a yell of protest
Fishlegs looked the tooth over, examining it
"Where did you get this?" he asked
"Found it on the Western Beach" Snotlout explained "And it's mine"
"Snotlout, this could be a clue to were the Gustav and Freya are. How could you not tell us!?" Astrid said
"It's... strange" Fishlegs said
"What is?" Tuffnut asked, seeming uninterested in the subject
"This tooth. It's dragon-like, but at the same time, not" Fishlegs said
"How's that possible?" Astrid asked
"I'm not sure" Fishlegs said
"We'll continue the search in the morning. Right now, let's get home and rest. I'll have some troupes guard the village" Stoick said
They nodded and went home
Time Skip To: Berk Village, 12:00
The same beast from last night, silently landed on top of a house, unnoticed by the Vikings that were told to guard the village
It crawled over to the tip of the house like a spider, and perched on top the dragon head
It smiled, showing razor sharp teeth that looked red in the Blood Moon's light. It raised it's head and did the same soft howl, causing the Vikings to turn around to were it was perched, to find... nothing.
In the sky, the thing began it's song and just like last time, no adult could hear it.
Come Little Children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of Enchantment
That's when it spotted the house at the top of the hill, and inside it could sense a child.
But, not just any child. It was a rare blood.
It grinned, it's yellow razor sharp teeth glinting in the blood red light of the Blood Moon.
It began to direct it's song towards the child inside the house, it was older so the thing would have to use the full song to be able to get the rare blood into it's cave.
Come Little Children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of magic
In his bed, Hiccup stirred slightly, causing Toothless to open his eyes and look at his rider
That when he heard it.
Follow sweet children
I'll show thee the way
Through all the Pain and
The Sorrows
Toothless's eyes widened.
It can't be.
Weep not poor children
It must be this way
To weary of life
And deceptions
That's when Hiccup woke up and looked at the Blood Moon.
To Toothless's utter horror, Hiccup's eyes glassed over.
Rest now my children
For soon we'll away
Into the calm and
The quiet
Hiccup got out of bed and walked over to the stairs, zombie-like
Toothless jumped out of bed and bite down on the back of Hiccup's fur vest, causing Hiccup to thrash around, trying to escape the dragons grasp
Come Little Children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of Enchantment
Hiccup wiggled out of his fur vest and was able to get down stairs
Toothless bounded after him and stood in front of his rider, trying to keep him from walking out the door, making his tail knock over a nearby pot and waking Stoick.
"What the- ?!" Stoick said, grabbing his axe
He spotted Hiccup
"Hiccup? What are you doing- ?!" that's when he realized that Hiccup eye's were glassed over and he was walking like a zombie, as if he was possessed.
Hiccup got passed Toothless and got out the door
"Hiccup!" Stoick yelled, Toothless roaring at the same time
They ran out the house as the thing sang the last verse
Come Little Children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of-
But, before it could finish Toothless spotted it and shot a plasma blast at it, cutting it off and causing it to shriek in pain and fly off
Hiccup fell to his knee's with a groan, holding his head with his hand as his eyes came back to normal
"Hiccup!" Stoick yelled, running over to him and taking him in his arms "Are you alright, son?"
"Uh... I think so" Hiccup said, rubbing his head
That's when a crowed began to form
"Hiccup! What happened?" Astrid asked, spotting the father and son on the ground
"There was something flying around the village. It seemed to... posses him" Stoick explained, helping Hiccup to his feet
"It sang" Hiccup said
"What?" Fishlegs asked
"It sang a song. I can't remember the lyrics all I know is that it sang a song. I must sing it and posses children" Hiccup explained
"So, that thing took my daughter!?" Freya's father said, outraged
"We have to get them back!" some one else said "Before their killed!"
"We'll get them back! Don't worry!" Stoick said, letting go of Hiccup with one hand
"Ya and I have an idea" Hiccup said
Time Skip To: Hiccup's House, 3:00 in the afternoon
"No! No! No!" Stoick protested
Hiccup, the other riders, Stoick and Gobber, where in Hiccup's living room
"But, dad if we don't we might never find Gustav and Freya!" Hiccup tried to reason
"And I'm not adding you to the list" Stoick said "We'll find another way"
"And if there is no other way?" Hiccup asked, his brow frowned in determination
"Hiccup, you should listen to your father. This isn't a good idea" Astrid said
"See. Even Astrid agrees with me" Stoick said
"If you use me as bait, this 'Night Stalker' will come and you can finish it off! It's the only way!" Hiccup said
Gobber had told them some more of the story, revealing that the beast is called a Night Stalker.
Stoick and Gobber shared a look
Even if they do say no, Hiccup will just go do it anyway.
Stoick sighed "Fine. But, just this once. If we fail, then we're not doing it again. Alright?"
Hiccup nodded
"Good" Stoick sighed
'I'm gonna regret this'
Time Skip To: Town Square, 12:00
Hiccup sat, crossed legged, in the middle of the town square, Stoick, Gobber, the Riders and their Dragons were a little ways away.
Stoick sighed
They've been here for hours!
He was about to get up and declare that the Night Stalker wasn't coming and that they should just go home when a soft screeched reached his ears
The Dragons and Vikings stiffened
"Do you hear that?" Fishlegs asked
"Hear what?" Gobber asked
"It's..."
"Singing" Astrid finished Fishlegs's sentience, her eyes widening
Come Little Children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of Enchantment
Hiccup got to his feet, his eyes searching the pitch black sky and they landed on the Blood Moon.
His eyes glassed over
"It's the moon! Don't look at the moon!" Stoick said
The teens covered their ears and closed their eyes, not wanting to become possessed
"Hiccup!" Stoick shouted
Hiccup was standing in place, as a black figure hovered in front of him, concealed by the darkness
The Night Stalker
It turned to Stoick, hearing his shout, and revealing green owl-like eyes.
It hissed at them
Come Little Children
The times come to play
Here in my garden of magic
Stoick, Gobber and the dragons began to run towards them, the teens still struggling to not become possessed
But, the Night Stalker flew towards them, as fast as the wind, and spit some sort of black goo on their feet which instantly hardened, preventing them from reaching Hiccup.
"Hiccup!" Stoick shouted, trying desperately to free himself from the black goo
Follow sweet children
I'll show thee the way
Through all the Pain
And the Sorrows
The Night Stalker only seemed interested in Hiccup, it's owl-like eyes looking at him hungrily, as it lead him into the woods
"HICCUP! NO!" Stoick shouted, followed by a roar from Toothless, who tried to shot a plasma blast at the Night Stalker, but it dodged
Weep not poor children
It must be this way
To weary of life and deceptions
The other teens were on their knee's, trying desperately to block out the song
Astrid's eyes glassed over
Rest now my children
For soon we'll away
Into the calm and the quiet
Astrid walked past Gobber, but he quickly grabbed her, causing her to start to scream and thrash around
Come Little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of Enchantment
The twins walked past the struggling Vikings and Dragons, but Barf and Belch grabbed them by their vest's, causing them to scream and thrash around, soon followed by Snotlout and Fishlegs, who were held back by their dragons
Come Little Children
The time's come to play
But the odd thing was, the grown-ups heard the last part
Here in my Garden of Shadows...
Silence...
They failed
Hiccup was gone
The Night Stalker was still out there
And they only had Four Days left
That's it! And the other teens are still there, by the way.
They only have four days left, because when the Week of the Blood Moon ends, the Night Stalker vanishes as well as the one's it stole.
