Chapter 3, enjoy ;)
"It was an accident..." The second Hiccup whispered that was the exact second when Outcasts came bursting in the basement using their catapults and more weapons they owned. Then they began to shout out battle cries as the villagers screamed and run all over the place in fear. In came Savage, trying to be scared but was clumsy in hhis entrance. "Now where's the food?!"
Berkians ran left, right, screaming, and adults were getting surrounded by outcasts who laughed evilly and dangerously. Hiccup with two other vikings were getting pushed around by some outcasts, thrown to the floor and there Alvin stomped his front feet in front of them, silencing the whole room with his deadly sword almost hitting Hiccup's finger tips. All Hiccup could say as the outcast leader bent down with his eyes staring deadly down to him. "A-A-Alvin..."
Alvin then got up, grabbed his sword, and began to walk around in a calm matter but as he walked, Berkians stepped back with fear. Then Alvin stopped his walking then spoke in his deep horrifying voice that echoed through the room. "So where is it?" "WHERE'S MY SUPPLIES!?" Astrid was the first to speak as Alvin came up to her.
"Isn't it up there?"
"WHAT?!"
"The supplies were sitting in a pile up..."
"EXCUSE ME!?"
"You sure it's not up there?"
Alvin got close enough to her to begin questioning her. "Are you saying I'm stupid?"
"No..."
"Do I look stupid to you?" "Lets just think about it for a bit shall we, let's just think logic, if it was up there,would I be down here. In your level...LOOKING FOR IT!?" "Why am I talking to you, you're not the queen, you don't even sound like her.."
Phlegma then spoke up while keeping Anna behind her," She's learning to take over for me Alvin."
"Oh I see, under new management. So it's your fault," Alvin growled at Astrid as she began to explain," No, it wasn't me, it was..." She was going to point to Hiccup, who hid behind the crowd a bit but Alvin interrupted her.
"Uh, uh, ah. First rule of leadership. Everything is your fault." Alvin leaned down to Astrid's level and then stood up and began to explain. "It's a very dangerous and huge world out there princess. One of those circle of life things. The sun grows your crops, traders give you materials to make weapons, you get the supplies, the then the outcasts take the supplies..." Then Savage interrupted him stating,
"And the dragons take the outcasts, hey remember that time when this huge reddish dragon got you, it's a great story after all. You see, the dragon got Alvin half way as he screamed and kicked his legs and I wanted to help but I couldn't get near it..." "Oh come on Alvin, it's a great story.." Alvin then dragged Savage to the corner, smacked him against the wall as he growled," Listen here, if I hadn't promised your mother on her deathbed that I wouldn't kill you, I'd kill you."
"And I'm very grateful just as much as you do."
"Not another word until we get out of this island, do you understand me?!" He shook Savage who was silent. "I said do you understand."
"But how I can answer, you told me to shut up..." Alvin raised his fist to punch as Savage screamed," Ah, remember my ma!" Instead of hitting Savage, he punched the nearest outcast to the ground, saw that the Berkians were standing till shocked. "Hey, I'm a compassionate outcast. There's still a few months before the huge winters and dragon attacks, so you can all just try again."
Phlegma tried to reason with him," But Alvin, since it's almost the winter and dragon season, we need this time to gather supplies for ourselves..."
"LISTEN!" "If you don't keep your end of the bargain, then I can't guarantee your safety and there are other enemies out there, who'll take advantage of you." "Someone...could get hurt." Alvin snapped his fingers as the villagers heard echoes of a wild dragon, a whispering death to be exact. As they saw the dragon being held down by several outcasts. Anna saw it getting closer and closer that she yelped, tried to run to hide but she screamed some more when Alvin grabbed her, "What's the matter?" " Your scared of dragons and outcasts?" he then and carried her even closer to the dragon as the Berkians watched and Hiccup gasped. "Anna..." Alvin brought her close to the point where the dragon could eat her as he continued," You don't like Death Wing?"
Death Wing was on the point of gobbling her up while she whimpered until Hiccup quickly moved through the crowd," ANNA!" he then got into the center, facing Alvi. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" Alvin stopped, turned, walked towards Hiccup, then holding out Anna to him as Hiccup felt like shrinking when the outcast spoke," You want her?" "Well go ahead, take her." Hiccup lowered his head as Alvin growled," No... Then get back in line." Hiccup walked back into the crowds, ashamed with his head hung down as Alvin released Anna, who ran to her mother's side, and then spoke to the rest of the crowd. "It seems to me that you Berkians are forgetting your place like what happened fifteen years ago... So let's double the order of supplies and goods." He turned away as everyone gasped, including Astrid as she began to give reason," No.. But...But...But.." Alvin yet again interrupted her, finishing up his speech,
"We'll be back at the end of the season... When the last leaf of the whole forests... Falls.." Everyone looked at the trees, then at Alvin who cracked his neck," You folks have a nice summer...LET'S SAIL OFF!" Soon every outcast raced off to the docks, laughing as they got on their boats and sailed away. Once there was total silence everyone turned their head to Hiccup as they backed away from him as well. All Hiccup could do was stand still, make a small smile, and make a fake small chuckle.
BANG...BANG...BANG!
"Hiccup, what do you have to say for yourself!?" Astrid yelled, holding a hammer she used to bang the table. Hiccup was standing below the high court who was Astrid, Gobber, Freya, Mildew, and Spitelout, as they were about to determine his punishment for being the cause of their huge problem. Hiccup lowered his head some more muttering, and then speaking up while the queen sat aside listening.
"S-Sorry... I'm sorry." "I didn't mean for things to go so wrong, I especially didn't want you to look so bad princess.."
"Well Hiccup... you did!"
"I was just trying to help..."
Gobber then spoke in, "Then help us... Don't help us!"
An idea then began to emerge in his mind as he spoke silently to himself, ignoring what the other's were saying." Help? Help...Help.." Astrid seemed to be focused on what his punishment was since she continued on. "Hiccup, you're sentenced to one month digging up the tunnels in the caves." That was until Spitelout interrupted her. "Ah, excuse me your highness, remember when Hiccup's tunnel was in a tunnel project. It took us two days to dig him out...Send him to help at the Viking service."
Hiccup was still mumbling to himself, creating his plan as the court still bickered over his punishment as Freya protested," Oh heavens no..." Mildew began to shout out a suggestion as Hiccup still was finishing up his plan until he shouted, "IT'S PERFECT!"
Phelgma sat from her chair as she began to question," Perfect?" "What's so perfect?" Hiccup ran to her, explaining his plan," Your highness don't you see?" "We can send someone to get help!" The court gasped as Astrid growled," Leave the island!?" Phlegma herself was not convinced as she told Hiccup," Now why didn't I think of that..Oh, because it's suicide."
"We never leave the island, there's dragons and other enemies that can kill us, even bigger Vikings!' Spitelout protested as Hiccup continued," Bigger Vikings, exactly!" "We can find bigger Vikings to come here and fight... Forever getting rid of Alvin and his Outcasts!" Gobber then shouted, "LUNATIC!' Freya commented," Now who would do a crazy idea like that?" Hiccup raised his hand as he spoke," Well I'll volunteer, I'll be very happy to volunteer!" Phlegma then chuckled," Ahaha, you got a lot of spunk kid, just like our last ruler... But no one is going to help a bunch of Berkians." Hiccup then protested," But we can at least try!""I can travel to those social islands, I can search there!"
Astrid crossed her arms as she stated," If you went out there, you'd be on that silly search for weeks." Everyone from the council gasped as Spitelout told her," Conference." They all turned to a circle as Spileout told her," It's perfect princess."
"What's perfect?" "What did we just decide here?"
" To let Hiccup leave, Astrid..."
"And we'll continue to do Alvin's command.."
"Mildew has a point, you see with Hiccup gone..."
"He won't mess anything up.." Once Astrid saw the nods, they stood up as she announced, "Hiccup, after much convincing...We decided to grant you your request.." Hiccup and Phlegma both asked," REALLY?"
"Really."
"Oh thank you Astrid!" Hiccup went up and continuously shook her hand. "I-I-I-I won't let you down. I promise...Oh I'll help repair the damage before I go..." The second he told them, the whole court shouted, "NOO!" "NO..NO...Just go...JUST LEAVE!" Hiccup nodded eagerly, hoping that he'll be able to keep his promise.
That following morning, while everyone was busy repairing the walls, Hiccup showed up carrying his basket walked down as everyone stopped and stared at him. He went passed Vikings, grinning, smiling at them until he got to the hill of the docks. That was when he shouted," DON'T WORRY! THE TRIBE IS IN GOOD HANDS!" He turned and walked down stating," Goodbye now.." He was at the bottom of the hill when he heard the whole village cheered as he took and deep breathe and whispered," Alright.."
He walked passed Gustav and Phill as he smiled to them. "Hey fellas, beautiful morning isn't it?" Phill walked up to Hiccup laughing as he stated," My dad says that he'll give you one hour before you come home crying."
"Does he now?"
Gustav then told him," Well my dad doesn't think that..."
"He doesn't huh?"
"Na, he's betting that you're going to die."
Anna then ran to them as she shouted," Well I think he's going to make it!" Gustav the snapped at her," No one asked you, your royal shortness." "Yeah Anna, what do you know?"
Hiccup then stopped at the docks telling them a few things." Hey, hey, stop. She's entitled to her opinion too." He then looked at the wide sea in shock for a moment as Phill shouted to him," So go all ready!" Hiccup turned around, headed towards the other way while Gustav shouted to him," HEY, the island's that way!"
"I know."
"YOUR LOOKING FOR VIKINGS, NOT BOATS!"
"You leave him alone, he knows what he's doing."
Hiccup then got on a small boat, "Anna's right... Here I go.." He then released the rope of the boat and began to sail off as he shouted," FOR THE VILLAGE OF BERK, AND FOR VIKINGS EVERYWHERE!'" There he went, sailing faster as the boat rocked back and forth while Hiccup looked up to where Anna was waving and shouting." BYE HICCUP! "GOOD LUCK HICCUP!' Hiccup then thought it was good timing for him to get up and wave back, "BYE!" That was until...SPLASH! He toppled over and fell off the boat, into the water.
"HICCUP!?"
He then got out of the water, climbed back on the boat as he sailed off some more shouting," I'M OKAY!"
Phill then nodded to Gustav. "Your dad's right, he's going to die." Anna wasn't convinced for a second," You just watch. He's going to get the bestest, roughest, Vikings you'll ever see."
And that concludes chapter 3, hope you enjoyed this and see you next time ;)
