He was met by confused gaze.
„Excuse me?" The dragon was looking at him quizzically.
„My n-name is...H-Hic-Hiccup" He said again, trying hard not to shiver under the watchful eyes of the dragon.
„Are you trying to tell me that it is you who they look for?"
„Nn-not really..." It took him all his will to calm himself enough and not burst into hiccups.
„Are you a pet?" It asked, this time its voice was filled with something akind to hostility and irritation.
„Wha-What?"
„I asked are you some kind of human pet" It growled.
„Of course not!"But seeing that it didn't calm the dragon down he quickly added „I just happen to have same name that's all..."
„Name..."Dragon stared at him for a long time before it decided it would let the matter go for now. „I guess it fits runt like you" It commented finally.
The boy cringed at this, even this dragon though so. He really must be hopeless case.
Soon his eyes closed and he himself drifted to sleep.
„Name he says" Said the dragon gazing at the sleeping form lying before him. Shaking its head it turned around to face the cave's enterance.
Hiccup was missing. The thought itself wasn't strange. That guy always managed to get himself in troubles one way aor another. And to be honest it was only matter of time before something like that happened. Especially after that big fiasco yesterday...It was no wonder that Mr Useless made run for it. And now she was forced to participate in this search party, despite the fact that it was her family who suffered the most because of Mr Police Officer's son's reckless actions.
So what he is missing, it's not like he's her friend or anything, and there's no way he will be, especially not after what he did. Hiccup always did stupid things, but yesterday was just beyond stupid and irresponsible and many other things she didn't care to add. He really deserved the bashing he got from his father. Someone really could be in that sheed, hell she could be there for all that mattered. Sheed offered her peace and quiet and she used it frequently to study and practice. And it was only by chance she wasn't there yesterday...
And now they wanted her to help to find that guy. Why the police couldn't deal with it. She was pretty sure that arson is a crime s punished by law. They should have take him in custody yesterday, when they had a chance. But no... having daddy in police has its own perks niw doesn't it? She could have been doing something useful by now. Looking bit to right he saw two of her classmates : fatty and dummy. And a little backwards she could hear twins, arguing, which then again wasn't anything new but honestly it didn't help her. Ain't they the best party ever...
„Maybe something attacked him" She could hear uncertain words of, what a surprise there, fatty. Of course, only someone like him who's brain is rotten, eaten by all sorts of rubbish fantasy books could come up with such idea. They lived on this island long enough. What did he expected attacked Hiccup, mutated rabbit?
She shivered as cold wind played with her long blond hairs. She could feel incoming rain in air. Just great, when one may think it couldn't be any worse. People around her screamed, but it seemed Hiccup either didn't care or couldn't hear them.
It's been few hours already, yet there was no trace of him. Just as if he melted into the air. Really there was no other explanation. They checked every corner of the village, no boat was missing and the mainland was too far for anyone to try to swim there by their own strenght. She gazed at Hiccup's father. She never saw him so ill at ease before. What a dissapointment of a son he has. But that wasn;t true was it? Hiccup may do many stupid things, and well she could say much about him but there was no way that he would hurt his father in that way right? Maybe something happened to him after all...
„That's enough" The rough voice sent her back to the reality „He isn't there. Let's check the village again."
She sent a worried glance at the man. She may not liked his son, but in her eyes he himself was someone to look up to. And now he looked devastated, it looked as if he would loose his compose any moment if it weren't for his best friend being there for him. People started to pass through her but she didn't really notice.
„Who would have thought that your dissapareance would make such inpact" She said once she noticed she was the only one left.
„Hiccup!" she shouted, hating how desperate her voice sounded to her ears. She stood still, she could almost swear that she heard something in the bushes.
But no one answered her, no matter how many times she tried.
„Nick!" She finnally called. He must react to that after all right? „Nick! You idiot!" However she was answered only by the wind running through the trees. Resigned she headed back to the village hoping that tommorow they will find him.
