I DO NOT OWN HTTYD, IF I DID, THE SECOND MOVIE WOULD BE OUT ALREADY… AND I WOULD BE RICH… AND NOT WRITING FANFIC… AND THE MOVIES WOULD BE HORRIBLE… WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY
Sorry everyone who reads my stories, I have been reading fanfic and not writing for the last 3ish moths and also taking regents… those were pretty important compared to FanFiction, but know that school is out. Chapters should be more common and longer (hopefully).
Skip ahead 5 hours, to dusk.
Gobber and Stoic are sitting in the great hall drinking beer and planning the next defense strategy against the dragon raids.
"Gobber… have you seen the teens since they left to go walk around to try to get out of working?" Stoic asked Gobber.
"No Stoic I have not, they should have been back right around the time Mimish normally chases Hiccup through the village for one thing or another, but they seem to have bailed from chores all together for today."
"No, at least Astrid would have comeback, along with Snotlout (finally got his name right) following close behind, unless they lost track of time… or are in serious danger and can't come back." Stoic says thinking about al the dangers that surround the village and how when he was young he had fallen into one of the many cave systems under the island and climbed his way back to the village with a twisted ankle. He ended deciding not to worry about the teens.
"Well Stoic, it is not my job to direct the tribe but, you should probably send a search party just to be sure that they are not in any serious trouble, maybe send Hiccup and Mimish to use one of your sons weird inventions to scare them back home," Gobber pauses finishing his pint of mead from his little cup attachment "or kill/ seriously hurt them all."
Stoic looks up with a bit of anger in his eyes then sees that Gobber is right and laughs saying," and when we were young, we didn't destroy anyyyy houses or put anyyy one in danger (yes that was sarcasm)."
Gobber looks up with a smile on his face then shakes his head and says," just send a search party… NOT made up of Mimish and Hiccup, to go look for the teens."
"Sure what ever Gobber, just one thing, should we just use the normal strategy of running head first for the defense?"
"I don't see why not, it hasn't failed us before." Gobber replies before walking out of the great hall.
Mimish and Hiccup are walking through a dark forest with a torch that stretches all shadows to the limit and makes all branches look like claws reaching down to rip you to shreds. They walk on in silence waiting for any noise besides their breath and the creaking of the trees. Of in the distance a howling can be heard echoing throughout the forest.
"Maybe we should go back and try again in the morning?" says a spooked Hiccup.
"Why, we are already this far and it is only another few minutes until we should come upon the clearing with the big rock in the middle." Mimish replies slightly irritated with Hiccups whining.
Hiccup decides to be quite after seeing Mimish curl her fingers when he opens his mouth. They may be best friends but they would not hesitate to get out of reach of one another when one is annoyed. A few minutes more of walking in the darkness of night, they come to a clearing with a small stream at one side and a large, mossy bolder in the middle. On top of the bolder sits a large log fallen from the near forest.
As they walk into the clearing they don't see the outline of Astrid sneaking around the edge of the clearing towards them.
Hiccup feels a tap on his shoulder, at which he wheels around only to see…. Nothing?
"Not funny Mimish, not funny at all." Says a still spinning Hiccup.
"Hiccup, that wasn't me, I am over here, not behind you."
Hiccup slowly turns toward Mimish with a rapidly paling complexion. "Then who touched my shoulder?"
"No one Hiccup you probably just imagined it." Mimish replies just as Hiccup gets hit in the head by a pebble thrown from the shadows. Causing him to jump up and make a rather disturbing noise between a yip and a scream.
"Wh, Who is out there?" squeaks Hiccup.
"Only me freak. You should really settle down before you hurt yourself with your little knife." Replies Astrid as she walks out of the shadows with leafs stuck in her hair.
Hiccup takes a while but he slowly regains his composure before asking, "where are the others and why didn't you guys comeback to the village?"
"The others are stuck in some caves that I almost walked into after the twins and Snotlout had a race and all three fell in and Fishlegs was listing of facts about dragons before he saw it and promptly fell in. as to why we didn't come back before we fell in, we saw a shadow on the trail we were on and decided to follow it and find out what it was. All I saw of the thing making the shadow was a black bunch of hair, some tan skin, and some shiny pants with two swords. And before you ask, I poked you and hit you with a rock because you are a useless idiot that cant even get his father to revoke a simple marriage contract… that and it was funny." Astrid answers as she noticed the leaves and begins picking them out with a look of disappointment as thou she was disappointed that anything could get stuck in her hair.
"Hey, only I get to pick on Hiccup about his dad being stubborn." Replies a Mimish from the streambed holding a nice smooth, rock.
"Okay, umm can we go back to the village before that shadow creature that you saw comes looking for us as a nice little tasty treat." Replies a Hiccup now with his entire composure back and using it to try and gain some dignity from Astrid.
Both of the girls nod to this and begin walking back to the village. Leaving Hiccup to think up some more ideas as he stumbles along behind them. It is about an hour later when they enter the village and then proceed to the great hall. Astrid then relays her story to Stoic. Who decides that leaving the teens there for the night wont do them any harm and leaves then great hall for home to sleep.
"Well is seems as it is about time to leave for bed, good bye everyone." Says a tired Hiccup as he trips his way over to the huge and old door. Mimish gets up and helps him out of the great hall and to the chief's house up on the hill.
Astrid is left sitting at the bench closet to the fire, thinking about ways to get out of the marriage contract set in place by Stoic when he first noticed that Hiccup alone would be a week leader. As she thought about one idea kept coming to the surface, to run away and never look back. The more that she thought about this idea, the more appealing it became. By midnight that night, when the fire was only coals smoldering barely giving of enough light to see the door. Over that night there was a huge storm, knocking down one of the several stone guardhouses and wrecking two ships at anchor.
The next morning, party had been sent out to get the teens. Someone noticed that there was a extra ship missing, this along with any other losses from the storm was reported to Stoic. Around noon however Astrid's mother ran up to Stoic in tears. Astrid's room was missing her axe, her favorite armor, and some clothes, along with some food from the Hofferson's cellar. This pared with the fact that a boat was missing, not sunk, just gone. Added to the belief that Astrid had run away from the village and the marriage to Hiccup.
Well, I can't believe that I wrote this with 1300+ words, by far the longest chapter yet… and the easiest to write and a new oc showed face. Thank you decode9 for the oc who will hide for a few more chapters possibly sooner. Sorry for not having Mimish as much this chapter. B.T.W. cake is great and minecraft is also great.
Goodbye every one for this chapter, have fun, review, and please no flames.
