A/N Alright, hi everyone! I know it's really soon for the second chapter to be out but I hope you won't complain XD I'm actually in a writing frenzy and couldn't help but write this down since the positive feedback you gave me. I honestly didn't think you'd be able to drive me this much, so thank you guys! In this chap we'll have some angst, but I don't plan to make it a fundamental part of my story, I don't really like depressing stories ^^"

Chapter 2: I won't allow that!
As the two men entered the classroom with their shotguns raised the whole class freezed with Mr. Benson being unable to close his mouth, interrupted right in the middle of his Maths explanation. All he could do was staring at the threatening armed males as they were some wild animals ready to kill any time. And in fact they were. The taller guy immediately aimed at the teacher and shot without a second thought. A loud scream was heard as the hurt man cursed and bent down, holding tight his arm, which was copiously bleeding. Some girls and a couple of boys screamed terrified, another boy suddenly became pale and fainted, falling on his desk.
Then the second armed man talked: "SHUT UP RIGHT NOW! If any of you makes another noise, even the slightest, they won't end up well. This I can promise you…" He finished with an awkward grin on his face. The other one simply raised his weapon, aiming for no one in particular but to silently threaten all the students. In the meantime Hiccup was trying to make eye contact with Jack, he was desperate to find about his ex-friend: was he scared? Was he thinking about his girlfriend or… about him? "That's enough, Hiccup!" thought the brown-haired boy to himself "Right now what I have to do is to keep calm and find a way out of this. But to do that, first I have to find out the reason why these two psychos attacked us… who the hell are they anyway?" Just as he was pondering the first step to make, a firm well-known voice echoed through the otherwise silent classroom.
"Who the hell are you? What do you plan on doing with us?" asked Jack. Hiccup mentally cursed, why did the white-haired boy always have to be so straight-forward? Did he ever think before acting? Obviously this same thought crossed Mr. Benson's mind who shakingly got up and barely made a pace towards his student, starting to scold him "Frost, shut up! Do you want yourself to get kil…?!" But he couldn't finish as the armed man who was nearer him hit him in the back of his head, knocking him out. "Now then, what an annoying man! The boy is just a little curious… hmm." That creepy grin was back on his face and was aimed directly at Jack, which didn't show any sign of fear. "And he's not just curious, he's quite the bold boy as well. Perfect!" Continued the short man with a delighted expression. He quickly made his way before Jack's desk, who simply looked up, openly challenging him. Suddenly the short man's face lost all of his cheerfulness and a moment later he hit Jack hard with his open hand, slapping him. Jack's cheek soon became a dark shade of pink, before the boy once again pointed his gaze right at the man before him.
"What does he have on his mind?! Does he have a plan or something like that? Is he really in such a hurry to DIE?" As soon as Hiccup fully realized what he had just thought his stomach started aching, like someone was clenching his insides, his breath suddenly stopped. He started to silently gap for air. While Hiccup was starting to experience a primeval fear, the short armed man was clearly losing his temper and grabbed Jack by his arm. "Fine, since you feel like being a tough guy, let's see how tough you really are, shall we?" A dangerous light was shining in his grey eyes as he forced Jack in front of the class right in the middle of the first desk row. The students sitting there backed away as much as they could without moving their chairs, scared to make even the faintest sound. Then the short man started to talk once more "Now we'll play a little game before your friends since you obviously didn't understand how serious we are about this." He raised his shotgun, aiming straight at the boy's chest. "I'll count down to 10. If you'll beg me not to kill you I may spare your life, otherwise… bang! Got that?" As Jack remained silent Hiccup couldn't do anything but hope the boy really had something up his sleeve to get out of that situation, but as the grey-eyed man started his deadly countdown Jack didn't move. "Why aren't you doing anything, Jack? Are you just going to let yourself get killed like that? What will be of the people you cared about? And the ones who cared about you?!"
"10…9…8…"
A silent tear formed in Hiccup's bright eye, quickly rolling down his cheek. "Is this really the end of it? I couldn't even bring myself to tell you how I really feel about you… I couldn't tell you that I loved you. And now you'll never know about it!"
"7…6…5..."
"Please don't! Don't leave me! Not just yet" A sudden image of Jack and Hiccup as children appeared in his mind. They were holding hands in agreement, both grinning widely…it was the time Jack had asked him to be best friends, after they had lost a football match. "If we become best friends, we'll definitely get to work better together: our team will be unstoppable. Well, how does that sound?" Hiccup first nodded, than smiled as wide as he could because of the catching smirk on the other kid's face. He remembered feeling warm and safe just looking at the other male.
"4…3…2…"
"That idiotic smirk of yours, I don't want to lose it. I can't let it end here! I…"
The moment before the short man could pull the trigger Hiccup jumped atop of his desk and screamed with his whole being "I WON'T ALLOW THAT!". The brown-haired male could almost feel the adrenaline being pumped in his system, his breathing accelerating even further and his heart beating so strong it could have broken his own ribcage. As all the other people in the room turned to look at him in shock, he jumped forward landing on an empty desk in the row before him and prepared to leap once more. He had to get to Jack, he had to save him.
And that was it! I hope you liked it! I'd better warn you right now that I don't really have a schedule to this story as far as publication is concerned: when a new chap is ready, I'll post it as soon as possible. So don't expect the next one to be out tomorrow (although I can't say it won't happen for sure...). Next chapter is going to be action-packed and it'll have some more Angt. Since I'm not English it's going to be a tough one to write so I may need a couple of days to complete it. Well, see ya!
