Note: Sorry that it took so long to update, I haven't been in the mood for a bit, but don't worry I don't plan on abandoning any of my stories on here until they are complete. Since I don't know when I will update this story, since I am trying to update my other ones, I decided to add part of the next chapter to this one. I hope you all enjoy the next chapter!

Nightmares and Kidnappings

Hiccup led Hans back to his house, it was getting late, and he wanted to get inside before it got too cold. The cold did not bother him, but he was sure it would bother Hans. He opened the door, and allowed Hans to enter the house first. He followed after him, and shut the door after them.

"We have fish and bread for dinner tonight." Hiccup told Hans. "To drink we have water."

Hiccup could have sworn he saw Hans' face contort in anger, but decided that it must have been his imagination.

"The clothes from your men and yourself that the village women washed should be delivered soon." Hiccup told him.

"Thank you, you have been very kind in your hospitality." Hans replied.

"Thanks, my father would love to hear that." Hiccup said.

Hiccup gathered up the fish for dinner, and began to cook the fish for their meal. Hans grabbed a random book, and tried to read it. Hiccup saw him give up, and only look at the drawings. Hiccup went back to focusing on the meal.

I wonder if Toothless is eating well. Hiccup thought. I will take more fish to him tomorrow.

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Hiccup!" A voice shouted on the other side of the door. "I brought your guest's clean clothes over to return them!"

Hiccup let the fish sit in the pan while he opened the door. In front of him stood the village woman called Erna the Fierce, but the men of the village called her 'Erna the Lustful.' Hiccup was forbidden by his father to have any contact with her, except when she was delivering items to the house.

"Thank you." Hiccup said.

Hiccup took Hans' clothes from Erna, and noticed out of the corner of his eye that she was checking both them out.

"Can I help you?" Hiccup questioned.

"Maybe." Erna replied. "You can tell me how old you and your guest are."

"You know I'm sixteen now." Hiccup told her. "Hans is eighteen."

Erna put her hands on her hips as she listened to Hiccup.

"Pay me a visit sometime." Erna told them. "Both of you."

Hiccup saw Erna wink at Hans, who recoiled in disgust.

"Bye cuties." Erna told them as she left.

Hiccup closed the door after her; he still had Hans' clean clothes in his arms. Once she was gone, Hiccup handed the clothes to Hans. The older male took them, and went up to Hiccup's room to change. Hiccup sat down in his father's chair.

I wonder if my father is alright. Hiccup thought. I hope they were able to resolve the issue.

A burning smell reached his nose.

"The fish!" Hiccup exclaimed.

He rushed over, and pulled the fish off the stove.

"OW!" Hiccup winced. "I should have used a cloth."

He blew on his stinging hand, while he checked on the fish. They were not burned too badly, he would just need to cut off the edges, which was where the worst of it was. He took out some plates, and laid the fish on them.

"Dinner is ready!" Hiccup called.

He sat down at the table, while Hans came out of his room, and joined him. Hiccup noticed that he was now wearing his original clothes. Hiccup watched Hans sniff the fish before he slowly began to eat it.

He eats with his gloves on? Hiccup thought in surprise.

"Sorry about the fish." Hiccup told Hans. "I accidently burned them a bit."

Hans looked up at him.

"The fish is quite delicious." Hans told him.

They fell into silence after that. Both young men continued to eat the fish Hiccup has cooked for them. Hiccup felt his eyes begin to droop, it was getting late.

"Time for bed." Hiccup said, as he got up. "Leave the plates; I'll get them in the morning."

"Very well, good night Prince Hiccup." Hans told him.

Hiccup watched as he went back upstairs.

Why does he keep calling me 'Prince' Hiccup?

Hiccup shrugged, and crawled on to his father's chair again. On the back of the chair hung his father's old cape, which Hiccup pulled around himself. His father left it behind for him, because ever since Hiccup was young and every time Stoick left the island, the presence of the cape comforted him. Hiccup buried his nose into the cape, and drifted to sleep.

Hiccup woke up and found himself in a deserted Viking village. There was snow everywhere, and it was cold, colder than Berk. Hiccup wrapped his arms around himself as a wall of snow blew all around him. He saw a figure in the distance, and walked towards it.

"Excuse me!" Hiccup called to it. "Do you know where I am?"

The snow blowing around him stopped, and Hiccup saw that the figure was frozen in ice. It was not the only one, Hiccup saw what looked like villagers frozen where they stood. All their expressions were frozen in shock. Giggles caused him to look away.

"Another one!" A voice exclaimed as another figure came into view.

Hiccup recoiled in terror. Standing before him was a life-sized ragdoll. The doll had stitching for her mouth, and she had button eyes. Her body and clothes were a patchwork of different fabrics. She showed wear and tear.

"My sister is going to enjoy freezing you!" The ragdoll exclaimed with glee.

Hiccup turned around to run, but he slammed into another figure.

"Where do you think you're going?" The figure asked.

Hiccup looked up and saw a massive troll. The troll had lower canines that protruded from his mouth, and scars all over his body. Hiccup turned once more to run, but the troll grabbed him and bound his wrists behind his back.

"Time to see the Queen." The troll told him.

The troll and ragdoll dragged him to see the Queen. The ragdoll giggled as Hiccup was led to his doom. They entered a castle made of ice, and Hiccup was dragged through it, until they entered the throne room. The room was also made of ice, along with the throne. He looked around and saw his father, Gobber, his friends, and the rest of the villagers frozen in ice.

"Dad!" Hiccup cried out.

"He can't hear you anymore." The ice cold voice of the Queen told him. "I killed them all."

The Queen stood up, and Hiccup saw that she was a very ugly woman, who was made of ice. Hiccup flinched away as she approached him. The Queen traced his face with talon-like nails.

"It's your turn to join them." The Queen told him.

She began to use her powers on him, and he felt himself begin to freeze.

"NOOO!" Hiccup shouted as he woke with a jolt.

Hiccup heard the sound of footsteps, and saw Hans run down the stairs.

"Are you alright?" Hans asked him.

"The Queen…" Hiccup gasped. "The Queen tried to kill me."

"You poor thing, let me get you something to calm you down." Hans replied.

Hans led him to the table, and he sat down. Hiccup's mind was reeling from the nightmare he just had. He did not realize he was shaking, until Hans placed a steady hand on his shoulder. Shortly afterwards he handed a cup of tea to Hiccup. Hiccup began to take tiny sips from it.

"Thank you for the tea." Hiccup told Hans.

Hiccup felt himself calming down.

"It was no trouble at all." Hans told him.

Hiccup could have sworn he saw an evil smirk cross Hans' features, but he was not sure. His vision began to blur. As darkness overtook him, the last thing he saw was the roof of his house.

Hans put down his own cup of tea after Hiccup had fallen to the floor. He went over and nudged the younger male. Hiccup was completely limp. Satisfied, Hans went over to the door and opened it, which was the signal for his men to come in and secure the Viking Prince.

"It's about time." The Duke complained. "We had the ship ready hours ago."

The Duke was followed by a group of four men. Two were armed with daggers, one held rope and some cloth, and the final man held a sack and some bandages. Hans gave the men with the daggers a once over. They would make sure that Hiccup could not cry for help, or write for help. Hans gave a signal to the dagger men, and they approached Hiccup. One man slit his throat; he cut deep enough to render him speechless, but not deep enough to kill him. The other man slashed Hiccup's arms, until it looked like he was wearing bloody elbow gloves.

"Let him bleed a bit, loss of blood makes hostages easier to manage." The Duke told them.

After letting Hiccup bleed freely for almost five minutes, the man with the bandages and sack came over. He laid the sack to the side, while he bandaged Hiccup's wounds. The man with the rope and cloth came over once Hiccup was bandaged up. He laid the rope to the side, and picked up the cloth first. He wadded up one piece of cloth into a ball, and stuffed it into Hiccup's mouth. He placed the other cloth over Hiccup's lips, and tied it behind the boy's head. After that he took the rope, and tied Hiccup's hands behind his back at the wrists. He put more rope around Hiccup's arms and torso.

"Hurry up!" The Duke told the man.

"If you want him properly secured, we cannot rush this part." The man told him.

The man tied Hiccup's real and fake legs together at the ankles. He also tied rope above and below Hiccup's knees. Once Hiccup was tied up, he was slid into the sack. A piece of rope secured the top of the sack. Hiccup was slung over the shoulder of one of the men as they left the house. Hans looked over the room before they left, and saw a large puddle of blood where Hiccup had been attacked.

"We have to hurry." Hans told the Duke and the men.

The two dagger men went ahead, and made sure the coast was clear for the rest of them. In the cover of darkness, Hans and his group reached the docks, where a small rowboat was waiting for them. The ship was already to set sail away from Berk. Hiccup was loaded into the small boat, and the six men headed for the ship with their prisoner.

"There is the ship." The Duke said.

Two men were waiting for them, and when the rowboat reached them, they secured the rowboat to the ship. The sack that held Hiccup was passed over to them, while the rest of the men climbed on to the ship. The two men handling the sack tied more rope around it. They tied it around where Hiccup's torso and legs would be. After that they carried the bound teen to the lower part of the ship, where he would be held during his journey. Hans watched the entire thing.

When we reach the port, my hired men will send him to the men heading for Arendelle. Hans thought. My plan is going off without a hitch.

Hans went back to the deck, and was glad that Berk was getting smaller and smaller as they sailed away.

The night gave way to daylight, and Hans saw the port they would stop in. The men on the ship got off to get supplies. The Duke would stay on the ship, which Hans used as a chance to slip away. He found his hired men, and led them to the ship.

"Be quiet." Hans warned them. "No one must find out about this. The boy is in the cargo area of the ship, I gave him enough sleeping powder to keep him asleep for two days."

The men nodded in response.

"I trust you got the trunk I commissioned specifically for this transfer?" Hans asked.

"Yes, it is waiting with our man, who will take it with him to Arendelle." One of the men replied.

"Perfect, there he is, I have a decoy set up so no one will know about our deal." Hans said.

The men and Hans took Hiccup from the ship, and they all entered the port once more. Hans threw a brown cloak over himself, and disappeared into the crowd. The men took Hiccup to the man waiting for them, their pockets were lined with money from Hans.

"Finally the ship will be leaving the port soon." The man told them, once they arrived.

The third man in the group opened the trunk, and Hiccup was placed inside. Once Hiccup was secured, they locked the trunk. The trunk looked solid on the outside, but its walls were mesh like and designed to let the air inside. The trunk was loaded into the ship sailing to Arendelle, and placed with the rest of the cargo.

"I will slip the letter that Mr. Hans wrote to the men that will deliver our present to the Queen." The third man said.

The other two men parted ways with the third man, who boarded the ship. The ship set sail to Arendelle ten minutes later. The ship sailed until sunset, where it finally docked in the Arendelle bay. The third man pulled on a cloak and asked two sailors to grab the trunk from him.

"I need you to give you to give this to the soldiers to deliver to the castle." He told them.

"What's the trunk for?" One Sailor asked.

The third man gave the letter to them.

"Don't open up that letter, the letter and the items in the trunk are for the Queen." The third man told them. "It is a gift all the way from Weaseltown."

The Sailors bought his story. While they hailed to a couple of soldiers, the third man disappeared. The Sailors thought nothing of it, and helped the soldiers load the trunk on to a wagon. Once the trunk and letter were handed over to the soldiers, the Sailors returned to their own ship. They had no idea that they had played a role in a kidnapping plot. The soldiers had no idea what the gift contained either.

Elsa sat back in her chair as she listened to her advisors argue amongst themselves. She was slightly amused, because they were acting like children. She was reading over a report when the door burst open.

"Elsa!" Anna exclaimed. "You've got a secret admirer!"

Elsa's advisors stopped arguing and stared at her. Elsa spotted Kristoff following Anna with an apologetic look on his face. Elsa was relieved to have the interruption.

"What is it Anna?"

"You got a gift!"

"Do you know what it is?"

"Of course not silly, it is a gift for you, so that means you have to open it!" Anna told her. "Please open it now! I want to see what you got!"

"I can't open it if I don't have it."

"Not a problem, the soldiers are bringing it now." Anna told her.

Sure enough, a couple soldiers brought in a trunk, once the trunk was placed in front of her, they gave her a letter and left.

"Open it, please." Anna begged.

"Let me read the letter first." Elsa told her.

Anna bounced on her toes, while Elsa opened the letter.

Dear Queen Elsa,

I searched far and wide for this special gift for you. It was hard to obtain, but we managed to get it for you. Unfortunately, this gift as an expiration date. You should open it before it runs out of air.

Sincerely.

The Duke of Weselton

"Open the trunk now!" Elsa commanded to the guards.

The guards looked at her in slight confusion.

"Elsa?" Anna questioned.

"Hurry, we may be too late." Elsa told the confused guards.

"Elsa, what's going on?" Anna asked.

Elsa watched as two guards opened the trunk. Once the trunk was open, she peered inside, and saw a sack covered in rope. She looked at the guard beside her, who looked terrified.

"Cut the rope away from the sack." Elsa told him.

The guard did as he was commanded to do.

"Get the soldiers that delivered the trunk to us, and find out who delivered it." Elsa commanded.

Elsa pulled the sack down, and saw a young boy. The boy looked younger than Anna, and he had red hair and freckles. She saw the flash of white, and noticed the bandages wrapped around the boy's neck.

Why would the Duke send a boy? Elsa wondered.

"Cut the rope, and get the boy out of the trunk." Elsa told the guard.

The soldier cut the rope that was tied around the injured youth. Elsa pulled out both pieces of cloth that had gagged the youth. The soldier helped her pull the injured boy from the trunk, and she laid the boy's head in her lap. She saw some blood on the bandages that were wrapped around the boy's neck and arms. She also noticed that the boy was almost as pale as the bandages that were wrapped around him.

"Get the healers!" Elsa commanded.

"Elsa, is he alive?" Anna asked.

Elsa looked up, and saw that her sister was close to tears.

"Yes, but he is very badly injured." Elsa replied.

The two soldiers that delivered the trunk and the healers arrives, while the advisors surrounded Elsa and the boy.

"You two." Elsa began. "Stay here with the advisors, and tell them everything you know about this."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two soldiers replied.

Elsa noticed that they looked confused at the sight of the boy in her arms.

"Don't jostle him too much, his wounds look pretty bad." Elsa told the healers.

"Yes, Queen Elsa." One of the healers replied.

The healers laid down a stretcher, and placed the boy on to it. Once he was secured, they took him to the infirmary. Elsa stood up, and noticed with a cringe that she had some of the boy's blood on her dress.

"Elsa, what's going on?" Anna asked. "Who hurt the boy? Where did he come from?"

"I don't know." Elsa replied. "The Duke of Weselton. I don't know, I've never seen that type of attire before."

"The Duke?" One advisor asked.

Elsa handed him the letter to read, and watched as his eyes widened.

"Find out everything you can about the boy, and where he came from. I have a gut feeling that the Duke is trying to stir up trouble. Anna and Kristoff, come with me." Elsa said.

Elsa left the room with Anna and Kristoff trailing after her. Elsa's mind was reeling, there was something about the boy's attire that jogged part of her memory. The boy's image flashed in her mind. He had red hair and freckles. He also sported a fake leg. He had been also been wearing a green tunic, with brown leggings, and a brown vest made of fur. When he father was still alive, he would show her books with men wearing the same attire the boy wore.

What did father say about wearing clothes like that?

The realization hit her hard. She froze in her tracks, which almost caused Anna and Kristoff to collide with her. Elsa could not believe what the Duke had done, he had doomed Arendelle.

This is bad, this is bad! Those people won't care, since to them we were the ones that injured that boy. Depending on them, and where the boy ranks in his village, we will have a war on our hands!

"Elsa, what's wrong?" Anna asked.

Elsa turned to face her sister and Kristoff.

"That boy is a Viking!" She exclaimed.

To Be Continued…

Note: Erna the Fierce/the Lustful was the women that flirted with Hans in the previous chapter, I just named her in this one. She will appear again in another chapter as well. Also, on a scale one to ten, how screwed do you think Hans will be when not only Stoick, but Toothless, find out about the kidnapping. See you in the next chapter, and I hope you enjoyed it!
