Very sorry for the late update, but my computer had broken and all that...
So... enjoy!
Chapter Four:
Missing
The screen came back on.
Show Astrid, Heather, Fishlegs, Tuffnut, Ruffnut and Snotlout walking through the woods, their dragons sniffing about.
"Hiccup!" Astrid called, her brow frowned in worry.
The watchers looked at each other worriedly. How long had Hiccup been gone?
"Here, dragon boy, dragon boy, dragon boy." Tuffnut said.
No answer.
"Where is he?" Heather mumbled.
"He's been missing for hours." Fishlegs said.
"And we've been searching for hours!" Snotout moaned.
Astrid glared at him, "You've been searching for ten minutes. I've been searching for hours."
Snotlout crossed his arms, grumbling.
Astrid glared at him.
Snotlout chose to ignore her.
"Find anything, Toothless?" Astrid asked.
The black dragon sniffed the ground and nudged away some leaves. He began to growl and whimper at the same time, his ears flat against his head.
"Toothless? What is it?" Astrid walked over to him and kneeled next to his head. She swept away the rest of the leaves.
To reveal Hiccup's Autumn Sword.
"Oh no..." Tooth whispered, hand over her mouth.
Astrid grasped Hiccup's hand. Toothless whined.
The screen changed to show Hiccup in a dark room.
His wrists were chained to the ceiling and his ankles chained to the floor, but, thankfully, he wasn't dangling.
His eye's fluttered open, unfocused and confused.
"W-Wha...?"
Hiccup blinked away the dizziness.
"Oh, come on." he groaned. A cherry-sized lump was on his forehead, adding to his hangover.
Hiccup winced, rubbing his head. He wasn't looking forward to that.
"Hello?" Hiccup called out into the blackness that surrounded him. "Anyone there?"
"Everyone is somewhere." a female voice spoke out.
Pitch felt his breath catch. What was she doing there? He'd made sure...
"Come out!" Hiccup demanded, despite being chained. "Show your face!"
"Alright." said the care-free voice.
And then out from the shadows came a girl, in her late teens. She had black hair that reached her shoulders and covered the right side of her face, sparkling grey eyes and pale skin. She wore black eye liner and black lipstick, along with a black t-shirt, black pants and knee-high black boots. Hiccup suit may have been black, but this was can't-see-your-own-hand-in-front-of-your-face black.
"Who's that?" Jack asked, "She looks goth."
"Well, yeah, a teenager that only wears black and has pale skin are usually known as goth." Hiccup said, rolling his eyes.
Pitch clenched his fists, trying to contain his anger. Not just at the girl, but also at the two spirits for calling her "goth." He only wore black and he wasn't... wait...
"Um... hey." Hiccup said, a bit astounded. "Er... how's it hanging."
Jack and Merida groaned.
"Worst. Pun. Ever." Flynn said, shaking his head.
Hiccup blushed.
The goth girl raised an eyebrow at him. "That's a horrible pun."
"Yeah, I know." Hiccup said. "So, care to explain why him chained to the ceiling, strange girl I've never seen before?"
The girl laughed. "That was my... er... boss's fault. You've been kidnapped. He won't tell me why. Some cliche revenge story, I think."
"Ah..." Hiccup looked at her suspiciously. "And... who is your boss exactly?"
The goth girl shrugged. "Best I don't tell you. You'll find out eventually."
"Right, right." Hiccup said. "No that this hasn't been a... pleasant conversation, but... can I go home now?"
"You did not just ask that." Astrid sighed.
Hiccup shrugged. "Worth a shot."
The girl shook her head, smiling sympathetically. "I would let you go, but my boss would probably kill me, so..."
"Yeah, right, got it..." Hiccup sighed. "Should have known it wouldn't be that easy. Will you stop me when I try to escape?"
"Yes. It took a lot of planning for my boss to capture you. It was a lot easier than he suspected. He thinks you've gone rusty."
"No we haven't!" Snotlout exclaimed.
"Good to know." Hiccup muttered.
"Well... I better get going." the girl turned to leave. "Oh, and do me a favor and don't tell my boss that I was here."
"Wait! What's your name?" Hiccup asked.
The goth girl froze, hesitating.
"Timore. My name's Timore."
Pitch sighed. What was he going to do with that girl?
The screen changed to show Jack and Baby Tooth flying through the air, frowning in worry, looking down over the Autumn Forest.
"Where is he?" Jack muttered to himself. He sighed, looking at the position of the sun. "We better get back to the others."
The film skipped to show Jack landing in the Cove, where Astrid, Merida, Mike, Rapunzel, Flynn and the others were waiting.
"Any sign of him?" Rapunzel asked.
Jack shook his head. "Not one."
Toothless whined, his ears folding back on his head.
Toothless whined now, snuggling closer to Hiccup's seat protectively. Who ever had taken his brother (and he had a pretty good idea who) he was going to pay! And if he harmed him, Toothless wasn't the most feared dragon for no reason.
"Where could he be?" Merida asked, as if one of them had the answer.
"I don't-" Astrid suddenly cut herself off, holding her stomach with wide eyes. She bent forward, spluttering, and vomited.
"Ew, ew, ew!" Heather jumped out of the way.
"Wow." Rapunzel said, before frowning at Astrid. "I think as soon as this parts over I should check you out."
Astrid nodded.
"Aw, gross." Flynn said, looking away.
Astrid finished and straightened, holding her stomach and whipping her mouth.
Rapunzel was frowning. "Are you okay, Astrid?"
"Yeah, just a stomach flu." Astrid said.
"Hmm. Come on, I'll check you out and see if I have any medicine for you." Rapunzel said, gesturing for Astrid to follow her.
"But we have to find Hiccup!" Astrid protested.
"You won't be any use to Hiccup if your sick." Rapunzel pointed out.
Sighing in defeat, Astrid reluctantly followed the blonde.
"Don't worry, Astrid." Jack said. "We'll keep searching."
Astrid smiled thankfully at the Winter Spirit.
The screen changed back to Hiccup, struggling with his chains.
"Come on." he grunted, pulling on his chains in frustration.
"I don't believe that will work." said a cool voice from the shadows.
"Oh, boy." Bunny groaned, before turning to glare at Pitch, who ignored him.
Hiccup stopped struggling, frozen in shock. "No..."
"Yes..." and out from the shadows came none other than Pitch Black.
"PITCH!" Jack growled, turning to glare at the Bogeyman. "YOU KIDNAPPED MY INVENTOR!"
Pitch rolled his eyes. "Obviously. Though, at the moment, I have not yet finished my plan. So I do not know exactly what my future self is going to do to the runt."
Toothless growled at him, causing Hiccup to instinctively put a calming hand on the dragons head.
"Pitch Black." Hiccup said. "I thought you were frozen."
"I was." Pitch admitted. "But ice eventually melts and I, being immortal, of course survived."
"Ah." Hiccup said. "So... what are you gonna do with me?"
Pitch smirked, his eyes glinting, and leaned in close. "I'll cause you to suffer."
"Okay, that's a bit obvious." Hiccup muttered.
Hiccup glared. He opened his mouth and began to sing.
"He used to life awake counting breaths
Each one he used was one less left
Deep in his chest
The hope was gone
Of him getting out or him moving on
A hopeless song
Stirred in his head
Months at a time but he couldn't lie
He couldn't lie and he couldn't rhyme
Or express himself to save his life."
"Why are you singing?" Pitch asked, looking completely confused.
"He'd put his favorite records on
Innerparty and Linkin Park
He'd close his eyes and he'd sing along
But he'd never make it on his own
It's not the time and it's not the place
To have to eat your words
Cause it's not the fall and it's not the fail
It's what you do right afterwards
And at these words I hope you rise
Dig in deep and then choose a side
Grab the mic and you'll shock them all
With your steady hands and wild eyes
Wild fires deep inside
Torch them all and leave none alive
If some survive then tell your friends
A broken watch, a bad time
So here's my match, let's burn them all
Before the fall of man
It's time to stand or stand for nothing at all
I hope you bury this deep in your mind
It carries on
It's not like it was before
It never dies
So tell me now, what do you stand for?
Before the scars and the secrets you hide
I'll burn them all
It's not like it was
Your ghosts inside
So tell me now, what do you stand for?
Not long ago the darkest plce
Shadows live and light escapes
Empty hands and hollow eyes
That never give and only take
One mistake you'll come to see
Is how you doubted thoughtlessly
Is how you only recognize
The person that I used to be
So here's my match, let's burn it up
Take everything you can
Before you fly you know
you gotta learn to stand
And I've been there before
Their torches in hand
I'll steady my feet
And learn how to stand
And I'll burn alive
But you'll know who I am."
The screen changed to Rapunzel and Astrid, sitting in Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless's make-shift home, which they had made inside the Cove's walls.
Astrid was sitting on the kitchen counter, while Rapunzel went through her medical supplies.
"How long have you been feeling sick?" Rapunzel asked.
"Ever since the morning after Christmas." Astrid said, as Rapunzel took her temperature.
Rapunzel 'Hmmm'd and took out one of those things that doctor's use to listen to someones heart and pressed the cold metal against Astrid's chest, listening.
"Your heart seems good..." Rapunzel muttered. Her frowned deepened and she slowly moved it down to her stomach. Her eyes widened and she placed her hand on the Valkyrie's stomach, feeling.
Rapunzel swallowed, before removing the cold metal and putting it back in her bag.
"What is it?" Astrid asked.
Rapunzel turned around and stared at her, "Your- You and Hiccup-" she took a deep breath, steadying herself. "There is a tiny person growing inside of you."
They gasped.
Hiccup hit the floor in a dead faint.
A pause symbol appeared.
"Yeah... break time!" came Night's voice.
And... that happened.
So, I've been reading reviews and realized that Hiccup and Astrid having a baby is getting mixed feelings. In full honesty, I hadn't planned for that to happen at first but it sort of just... happened. And that is probably what Hiccup would say.
Alright now, here's three little vote's for you guys: should the baby be a boy or a girl? Shall Jack fall in love with the mysterious Timore? And should I make a fourth movie?
Okay, so, Timore is Latin for "Fear" and yes, she is Pitch's daughter. Their back story will come to light as the movie continues. No, she is not exactly evil but she's not entirely good ether. Sorta like that Karai girl from the TMNT 2012 series, but it's only their personalities.
So, I hope you liked this chapter and feel free to post reviews and songs.
NightFury999 out!
