Chapter 4: Training
Hiccup awoke from inside a small stone cell. His head was pounding and his arm was pulsating with pain. He gradually sat up, rubbing his head, and looked at the creepy surroundings. There was dry blood on the cold stone walls and a handful of human bones scattered around the room on the floor. He rose to his feet and walked over to the bars of the cell to see if there was a way out. On closer inspection the bars of the cell were slimy, a sort of salivary substance on them..."Teeth?" Hiccup though as he felt them. If they were teeth they couldn't be human they must be... dragons Hiccup shuddered at the thought of dragons having their teeth being ripped out of their jaws. When he looked through the thick teeth all he could see were empty cells with the acception of one; an outcast was pacing inside a smaller cell across the hall and gave a glance at Hiccup.
"Hey, Excuse me!" Hiccup called out expecting an answer, but there was none "Umm Hello? Do you know how I could get outa here?" The Man looked at what he saw as a scrawny pathetic boy and pushed his face close to the bars.
"What do you want!? I have better things to do than talk to you." The man said aggressively
"Oh I really see pacing up and down your cell as a better thing to be doing... "Hiccup replied with a cocky tone and a bit of sarcasm.
"Listen Kid if I wanted your opinion I'd ask for it, and seeing as I didn't ask for it shut up!"
Hiccup just looked away and tried to figure out a plan. He looked high and low around the room but the only thing he could find was bones. Whilst in mid thought he heard footsteps echo through the hall way. The jangle of keys was heard as they turned the lock of the cell. Hiccup hastily walked to the bars to see the man be taken out of his cell.
"Let me GO! You can't do this to people on the island you will pay for it!" Said the prisoner who struggled in the grips of two other outcasts who dragged him towards another room.
"Oh shut it! How else do you think we are gona feed the dragons hmm?!" said one of the prison guards as they both shoved the man through a door. After a few seconds; a loud crunch of bones was heard followed by a scream that erupted from the man's mouth. Then a roar came from the dragon that had devoured the human.
"Well that's another one for lunch" said one of the guards
"Here; what about that one?" replied the other
"Urr I think Alvin want that one, he's the dragon trainer."
"HA! Dragon Trainer; we'll see about that!"
The two men walked off around the corner only to be replaced by Alvin himself.
"Ello Hiccup, you ready to train my dragons?" Alvin questioned as he strolled towards Hiccups prison cell.
"Huh; you think I'm going to help you? After what you did to Berk? And where is Toothless" Retaliated Hiccup
"Your dragon is safe and sound so just shut your trap and let's move" Alvin said as he opened the door to the cell and grabbed Hiccup to pull him out. "Right now I'm gona show you a friend of mine, he's called Rage; we call him that because, well he has a bit of a temper on him. Nothing I suspect you can't handle seeing as you're a Dragon Trainer."
They arrived outside a cage which contained an angry and very hungry Nightmare. Saliva was dripping from his mouth and scars could be seen across his body from where the Outcasts had beaten him in an attempt to train him but had failed. His Talons were thick and blood stained which only made Hiccup worry even more.
"Ok then Hiccup off you go" Alvin shoved the boy into the arena.
"But Alvin!" Hiccup attempted to say before the Nightmare had set itself on fire and started to step closer towards Hiccup with a deep growl. Suddenly the creature lashed out towards Hiccup. He tried to dodge the razor sharp teeth but one scraped his side, He cried out in pain as he ran round the arena.
"Common Hiccup you're meant to be training the dragon not exercising!" yelled Alvin with a grin on his face.
"Alvin! I need to get certain items to urr help me train them!" Hiccup called out to Alvin who simply raised an eyebrow.
"Fine. You better not be messing me about" Alvin concluded. He didn't seem impressed with Hiccups performance. The only thing he was impressed with though; was that he hadn't died in the first five seconds of entering the arena.
Hiccup ran towards the door clutching his open wound on his side. The Nightmare swooped after him and clung onto the bars of the cage snapping his jaws at Hiccup who squeeze through the small gap of the door. He gasped for air and collapsed on the floor gripping his side. He could feel the warm liquid seeping out into the cold environment. Everything began to go hazy and he became dizzy fairy quickly...
"Hiccup, what are these items you need?" Alvin questioned folding his arms waiting for the boy to pull himself together. But it was no use Hiccup had already passed out.
"Ok I'm ready what about you kids?" asked Stoick as he began to mount a Dragon.
"Yep were ready Chief!" they all replied sitting upon their dragons as well.
"Ok, let's go" Stoick signalled to the teens to begin to fly towards Outcast Island in search for Hiccup and Toothless.
"What way to the island" called out Snotlout trying to keep Hookfang under control.
"North straight ahead" Replied Stoick with certainty.
"Are we there yet?"Called out Ruffnut quickly followed by Tuffnut
"Yer, I have a weggie..."
"Don't Wine, we will be there by sundown." Said Astrid as she flew in front of the group .She missed Hiccup. How couldn't she? "We are on our way Hiccup; don't you worry..." she whispered as she felt her eyes well up with tears allowing one to fall onto her Dragon who instantly felt her rider's sadness. Stormfly turned her head towards Astrid and let out a little mumbled voice. Making Astrid smile."Thanks Stormfly I've always got you". The group continued for hours until their destination was in sight. Through the fog and over the white glazed mountains they saw Outcast Island.
