Hello again, chapter 2 and I have a confession to make... Of course there'll be dragon attack, did you all really think I'll leav the raid out, no way. Chapter 2, enjoy ;)

Yep, it was Hiccup, using another one of his inventions to gather the supplies and didn't even notice who he was catapulting them to.

Back to Astrid, Gobber, Mildew, Freya, and Spitelout managed to get the objects off of her until WAM...More of supplies fell on her again. Freya and Mildew were getting impatient and started to shout,

"HEY YOU, STOP THAT!"

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!"

"YOU HURT SOMEBODY OVER HERE!"

That apparently caught Hiccup's attention since he turned around and saw the small crowd and someone on the ground. He gasped and began to run to them with his invention behind his back shouting, "I'M SORRY!" "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry!"

Spitelout looked up and saw that Hiccup was the one who caused the trouble again as he groan," Oh it's Hiccup."

"I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY!" "PLEASE FORGIVE I AM SO SORRY!"

He stopped running as the adults remove the pile off and then saw Astrid getting up, surprising him a lot. "Princess Astrid!" After coughing off some air, Astrid looked up and saw Hiccup as she began to question him while looking at his contraption," Hiccup, what are you doing?" Hiccup then noticed she was looking at his new invention as he began to quickly explain.

"Oh this!" "This is my newest invention on harvested and carrying supplies, look no individual picking by hand, with pull on this lever and it'll do everything. Lifting it up and throwing it to the plaza."

"Hiccup, I don't have time for this." Astrid looked like she was going to punch really soon but he interrupted her as he continued,

"Exactly, we never have time to get our needs ready because we're too busy using the summer getting them for the offerings. But my invention will speed up production." He didn't notice Mildew and Spitelout glare at him, then at each other as Astrid and Hiccup continued on.

"Hiccup, another invention?!"

"Yeah, and I got something for you too. I've been working on this for a while, and with this you can over see the gatherings. I borrowed a bit of harden fabric from Freya..."

Freya looked confused once he said that. "Oh my goodness, that's very..."

"Look Astrid, you got a worthless piece of glass and old fabric but put them together..."

"Hiccup, please."

"It's in fact a spyglass!"

Anna giggled at the sight of her sister trying to talk with Hiccup, even Phlegma laughed a bit.

"Hiccup that's very thoughtful but..."

"Hello princess, you look very lovely this morning," Hiccup looked through his spyglass as Astrid still tried to talk to him. "Not of course, you wouldn't need a spyglass to see that." Before they could say anything else, Spitelout and Mildew marched in front of him, very furious as Spitelout shouted, throwing the spyglass aside to the groun as it rolled next to Anna.

"ALRIGHT LISTEN!" "The princess doesn't have anytime for this!" "We don't have time for this, we got work to do and other problems when the dragons come and attack us!" "You wanna help us fill this plaza?!" "Then get rid of that machine, get back in line and CARRY SUPPLIES LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!" Soon Mildew piped in shouting," Like everyone else!" Astrid then sighed as she told Hiccup,

"Hiccup, just go."

"I'm sorry Astrid, I was really just trying to..." But Hiccup was interrupted by Spitelout and Mildew who angrily pointed Hiccup to the line. "Trying to help." Hiccup then turned around and left back into the village to collect some supplies, carrying his invention with his head hung low.

"Now, where were we?"

"The counting your highness."

"Oh right."

Anna looked and saw the adults turn to discuss some more as she grabbed the spyglass and headed to the village, following Hiccup. "Hey Hiccup!" "Hiccup wait up!" Hiccup turned and saw Anna running down the hill," Oh hello princess."

"You can call me Anna." "Here, you forgot this." She lifted the spyglass to give it back but Hiccup sighed," No, keep it. I can make another one."

Anna noticed his glum expression as she continued on," I like your inventions."

"Really, well you're the first." "I'm beginning to think nothing I do works." Hiccup sighed again.

Anna looked through the spyglass," This works."

"Great, one success," Hiccup stated, "I'm never going to make a difference."

"Me neither, I'm a queen viking and I can't even throw an axe yet. I'm too little."

"Being little is not such a bad thing Anna."

"Yes it is."

"It's not."

"It's too."

"It's not."

"It's too."

"It's not."

"It's not."

"It's too."

Hiccup thought for a moment then an idea came. "A grain, I just need one grain.." He turned and went in circles to get his hands on the bag of grain, but without success, he grunted in frustration until he looked at the ground, grabbed a rock and handed it to Anna. "Here, pretend. Pretend that that's a seed of grain." Anna looked confused at this sight and muttered, "It's a rock."

"I know it's a rock, but let's just pretend for a minute that it's a seed, let's just use our imagination. Now you see those trees, all those trees have grown and all because of this tiny little seed. All it needs is some time, sunshine, and rain and there you have them, those trees." Anna looked at the tree then at the rock and just simply complained,

"But it's a rock."

Hiccup was completely out of it since Anna didn't get the message and shouted," I KNOW IT'S A ROCK!" "Don't you know I can tell what's a rock when I see I rock, I lived my whole life with rocks!"

Anna giggled, picking up her spyglass. "You're weird. But I like you." Then the horns began to blow, indicating that the outcasts where coming. Hiccup dropped the rock and gasped," They're here."

The villagers heard the horns, and began to panic all over the place. Anna raced off to find her mother while Hiccup tried to catch up but his machine got caught by a tree branch near by, causing him to fly over on the ground.

Phlegma was looking for Anna until she found her as Astrid tried to calm the panicking village. "Okay single file, put the supplies to the offering center..." Noticing that didn't work, Phlegma whistled, grabbing everybody"s attention as she instructed," Okay single file, throw the goods in the center of the plaza and move to the Great Hall basement, let's move!"

Everyone hurried, piling the supplies and running to the Great Hall basement in a single line, the basement was clearly huge to fit everyone as Phlegma entered along with everyone else and stood proud and determined, while holding Anna. Astrid was outside, leading everyone in and scanned the area for anyone left behind. "Come on, keep moving, keep moving. Okay that everyone." She then hurried in the basement.

Out of nowhere, came Hiccup running and shouted," HEY!" "HEY WAIT FOR ME!" "Get the goods to the center and into the basement." He rushed to the center, annoyed with his invention, he threw it to the side, not even noticing the catapult banging on the torch that was lit up with fire. Then the torch fell on top of all pile of goods, once Hiccup noticed he screamed in terror as he tried to put the flames off. "No. No. No.." But by the time he got a bucket of water, the pile was burned to dust. "Oh no..."

He heard the outcasts coming as he quickly ran to the basement of the Great Hall screaming his head off. "PRINCESS ASTRID!" "PRINCESS ASTRID!" "PRINCESS ASTRID!"

Once he entered, they all heard the running feet of the outcasts as the children trembled in fear and the adults stood anxiously. Astrid was beyond by worried as she continuously whispered. "They come. They take. They leave. They come. They take. They take. They leave."

Hiccup was shoving through the crowd, still scared out of his wits as he came closer to Astrid. "Excuse me. Pardon me." He finally got to Astrid as he was panicking. "Your highness, Astrid..."

"Not now Hiccup."

"But I have to tell you something important.. It's about the offering."

"Shh."

All Hiccup could do was bite his hands in panic, afraid about what'll happen if they found out. They heard the running footsteps stop, then voices of confusion.

"HEY WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

"YEAH, WHERE'S OUR SUPPLIES?!"

Everyone gasped in fear as Astrid finally turned to Hiccup, growling. "What. Did. You. Do?!" Then the whole village turned, facing Hiccup who felt like disappearing as he shrunk down, whispering. "It was an accident."

Someone is going to get busted, next chapter is when the outcasts come in, even Alvin, so stay tuned. Until next time ;)
