Note: Sorry for the delay, I have been working on my other stories as well as some new ones before I decided to type this chapter up. I am writing the next chapters of all of my stories in my notebook, before posting them. It really helps me figure out what I want to do with the chapter, and if I want to extend a scene out. Since this story was written first in the lineup, it will be the first on the list to be updated. I want to thank all my readers for taking the time for reading this. I hope you enjoy the next chapter to this story. ^_^

The Savage Life and a Story

The next day Hans woke up and realized that the place he had fallen asleep was on the wooden slab near the window. The next thing he realized was that the house was quiet, He got up and stretched, the blanket that he had taken from Hiccup's bed fell from his shoulders. He picked up the blanket and put it back on the bed.

I wonder where my savage hosts have gone. Hans thought bitterly. It is rude to leave your guests alone.

Hans left Hiccup's room and headed down the stairs. When he got to the first floor he spotted a wooden tub in the middle of the room, near the fire pit. It was filled with water, and lying next to it was a change of clothes. Hans went over and picked up the clothes.

Savage clothes, how charming.

The clothes consisted of a white tunic and pale grey leggings. There was also a vest that had been made out of a brown furred creature of some sort. A set of boots sat next to the pile and they were brown was well. Hans cringed at the thought of putting on those types of clothes, but looking at his own dirty clothes, he decided that he had no choice but to wear them.

Well, at least these savages know how to bathe.

Hans looked around him to make sure he was alone, before he took his clothes off. After taking off the last piece of his clothing, he climbed into the bath. When he got in, he spotted a tray with a bar of soap in it. After he was done washing himself, he got out of the tub. There was no towel in sight, so he waited a couple minutes before putting his clothes on.

The heat from the fire pit helped dry me off, interesting…

He put his under garments on first. After that he pulled on the leggings, followed by the tunic. Finally, he pulled the vest over his shoulder and pulled the boots on to his feet.

Time to find a Savage woman to wash my clothes.

He left the house in search for someone to wash his clothes, while he was doing so; he spotted the Duke of Weselton. The Duke, as well as a group of men from their ship, were all wearing the savage clothing provided to them from the people. Another thing he noticed was a mixture of male and female savages surrounding a large tub filled with water. They were washing the clothes gathered from their people as well as those from their guests.

Well, if I want my clothes cleaned, I will have to go over there.

Hans brought his clothes over to the savages washing the clothes. He gave his clothes to a plump middle aged savage. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. When Hans handed her the clothes she blushed. As he began to leave, he glanced back and saw her checking out his butt!

How revolting!

When Hans made eye contact with her, she winked at him.

Of all the nerve!

"So, my father decided to gather any spare clothing we had to give to our guests to borrow."

Hans' head lifted up at the sound of Hiccup's voice. He spotted the Viking Prince among his friends. His friends included the beautiful savage Astrid, the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut, the fat boy Fishlegs, and the arrogant Snotlout. They seemed to be coming from somewhere, but at the moment Hans did not care.

"Hiccup!" Hans called. "I have been looking everywhere for you! Do you mind escorting me around the island?"

Hans saw Hiccup freeze in his tracks, before he went over to Hans.

"Sorry about that, before my dad left this morning he told me to escort you around the island. It seems that I forgot." Hiccup told him.

Hans noticed that Hiccup did not seem good at speaking formally.

"So, your father left?" Hans asked, hiding the smile that threatened to cross his face.

Hans noticed that Astrid seemed to pick up on something, and she gave him a suspicious glare.

"He left to perform his Chiefly duties for the day." Hiccup told him.

Damn!

"Follow me, I will show you the safest placed in Berk, places that won't get you killed." Hiccup told him. "We have cliffs, threats of rockslides, boars, and other fun stuff that we need to avoid."

Hans followed after Hiccup as the Viking Prince led the tour. To his annoyance, Hiccup's friends had decided to join them. Astrid walked next to Hiccup, while the rest of the group walked behind Hans, except for one. Fishlegs decided to walk by his side, and it seemed that the boy wanted to ask him some questions. Hans decided he would ask the questions first.

"So, how old are you?" Hans asked.

"Sixteen years old." Everyone responded.

"How old are you?" Astrid asked.

"I'm eighteen years old." Hans replied. "Since you are all the same age, may I ask who was born first?"

"Me!" Snotlout exclaimed. "Which is why I should be the leader!"

Hans noticed that Snotlout shot Hiccup a look, which was ignored.

"We were born next." Ruffnut said. "I was born first, followed by my numbskull brother."

"You have no proof of that." Tuffnut countered.

Ruffnut gave him a leveled look.

"I was born sometime after them." Astrid said.

"I was born sometime after Astrid." Hiccup replied.

"I'm the youngest in the group." Fishlegs said. "But you probably figured that out by now."

Everyone fell silent after that, the kids focusing on giving Hans a tour of the island, and Hans was filing the information away for later. Hans did not pay too much attention to the tour, and was relieved when the group stopped the tour for lunch.

These savages eat like peasants!

Astrid, Fishlegs, and Hiccup took out loafs of bread, cheese, and berries. They gave some to Hans first, before distributing the rest of the food to everyone else. The group fell into silence as they ate, which left Hans to his thoughts. While Hans ate his food he noticed that Hiccup pulled out a book, and began to draw in it. Fishlegs took out a journal, and stared at Hans.

"May I help you?" Hans questioned.

Get out of me face!

"Um." Fishlegs began. "I was wondering if you could tell us some stories, since you came from a different culture than us. Which is fine, but I would like to hear your stories."

Hans looked at him for a moment before he smiled.

"Of course, I have a story you might enjoy, it is true after all." Hans told him.

Hans noticed that Fishlegs' mouth dropped open before he got ready to write down Hans' story. Hans caught Astrid's attention, and the twins leaned closer to him. Hiccup stopped sketching to listen, and Snotlout pretended like he did not care even though it was clear he was listening. Hans began his story.

"Once upon a time, in the sleepy and peaceful kingdom of Arendelle a lovely King and Queen gave birth to a daughter. The poor souls did not realize that they had given birth to pure evil. She would destroy everything they held dear."

"Loki must have cursed her." Fishlegs mumbled in fear.

Loki? By the looks on their faces, he is feared by these savages.

"Three years later, the King and Queen gave birth to a pure hearted little girl. When the little girl turned five her elder sister attempted to murder her. The King and Queen tried to stop her, but they were killed by their oldest child. The way their eldest child killed them was freezing them to death, you see, the evil child had control over the ice."

"So, she was cursed by Loki." Astrid said, looking slightly sick.

Hiccup's face paled in fear.

"After using her ice powers to kill her parents, the evil girl decided to spare her sister, and decided to brainwash her. When the girl became the Queen she put the entire kingdom into a brutal everlasting winter. Her subjects died because of the cold and starvation, but they were trapped, and had nowhere to go. The evil Queen did not care, she enjoyed watching them die, some died by her own hand. Her poor sister became her puppet; she followed her sister's plans. The Queen used her sister to lure people into a false sense of security, and she would come to murder them."

Hans paused the story, and looked around himself. Snotlout and the twins seemed to be confused about the story. Fishlegs seemed terrified by the story, and Astrid seemed to be trying to figure something out. He did not care about them, the expression he really wanted to see was the one on Hiccup's face, the Viking Prince's face seemed to pale in dawning horror.

"The evil Queen eventually hired a monster of a man to continue the evil. The man murdered those that the Queen did not like by slitting their throats. The people eventually begged a young humble man to save them from evil Queen. The young man tried to help them, but alas, he was unsuccessful and the evil Queen continues her reign"

"That man is a failure!" Snotlout exclaimed. "If I were that man I would take the younger sister hostage!"

Snotlout went over to Hiccup, and swung his cousin over his shoulder.

"See how easy it is to take someone hostage!" Snotlout exclaimed. "Now, who is brave enough to rescue this Damsel in Distress?"

Hans noticed that Hiccup snapped out of his fear from the story, and glare at his cousin. Snotlout did not see it, because of the angle he held Hiccup at. Hiccup was held sideways over his cousin's shoulder. Hans watched as Snotlout turned towards the group. Snotlout shifted his grasp from his cousin's waist to his legs.

"Any challengers?" Snotlout asked.

Astrid stood up and kicked Snotlout in the stomach, which caused Snotlout to drop his cousin. Astrid caught Hiccup, before he could fall to the ground as well. She helped Hiccup to his feet, and after that she kicked Snotlout again.

"Thank Astrid." Hiccup told her.

Hans watched the entire thing, and saw how vicious Astrid could be. He had to make sure she was not around when he kidnapped Hiccup. Otherwise he would end up like Snotlout, or worse.

"I think we should go back." Fishlegs said. "It is getting late."

The group began to leave, and to Hans' shock, they left Snotlout. The boy staggered to his feet, and followed them. Hans noticed that Snotlout was rubbing his stomach, which was where Astrid had hit him.

The women here are beasts!

When they got to the village, Hans noticed that there was a group of adult Vikings in the middle of the village. They seemed to be gathering supplies for something. Hans noticed his little group became alarmed, and saw Hiccup run over to his father.

"Dad!" Hiccup called. "What's going on?"

The Chief turned to his son.

"One of the tribes decided to attack one of our allies; we must go over to our allies and settle the dispute." Stoick told him.

"Is there anything I can do?" Hiccup asked.

"Yes, protect our people and our guests." Stoick told him.

"But-" Hiccup began.

Stoick cut him off.

"Listen up!" Stoick announced, getting everyone's attention. "I will leave my son Hiccup in charge until I get back. I will also leave Astrid as his second in command! I will be back soon."

With that said, Stoick gathered the group, but Hans noticed that some Vikings would stay behind.

Well, my plan seems to be getting easier and easier. The obstacles keep falling away. Also, my story has put fear in Hiccup's heart and he will be fearful of the Queen, so he will be unwilling to seek help from her."

Hans put his hand over his face to pretend to be sympathetic to his hosts, but in reality he was hiding a smile.

The Viking Prince will soon be mine!

TO BE CONTINUED…

Note: The story Hans told them would have been the same, but slightly different, one thing being it would not have been Arendelle but I changed it when I actually wrote it. Hans obviously does not know about the incident with Elsa and Anna when they were kids, he is pretty much making everything up. The biggest purpose of this chapter was for Hans was to make Hiccup fearful of Elsa, so he would be too scared to ask her for help. The next few chapters will have different POVs from the characters, some POVs being switched within the same chapter. Thank you for reading, and I will see you next chapter. ^_^
