As Hayden and Hiccup flew away on Toothless, Snotlout watched in complete disgust.

The next morning, he met the others in the arena. Astro was talking with Fishlegs, "What do you mean you haven't seen her all morning?"

Fishlegs repeated his answer, "I haven't seen Hiccup since the last lesson we had yesterday."

"I've seen her." said Snotlout, "She went to a late night flight last night. Hayden seemed angry, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Hiccup semed pretty scared."

Astro's eyes widened in terror, "Please tell me you're joking!"

Snotlout shook his head, "Hayden flew on with Hiccup on Toothless' back last night. Man is he gonna be sorry."

"Oh yes he is!" Astro began to yell as he mounted up onto Stormfly, "And after we get Hiccup back I'm going to punch her in the face!"

The twins mounted up onto Barf and Belch, "We gotta see this!"

Fishlegs got onto Meatlug, "Why? What's wrong about that?"

"I tried to warn her! She wouldn't listen! Now, if I'm correct, Hiccup is being held hostage by someone who's been working for the Outcasts all this time!"

Snotlout got on Hookfang and all the teenagers followed Astro as he and Stormfly headed toward Outcast Island.

Meanwhile, Hayden had let go of Hiccup's hair, and was now holding his satchel tightly.

Hiccup forced herself to keep her eyes in front of them as she asked, "What do you have in there?"

Hayden smirked, "You really are a stupid dragon are you? You can sense me holding something in a satchel, yet you can't recognise an Outcast when you see one."

"That's because you're not an Outcast. You're too polite and sophisticated for that."

"I have to do this, Hiccup."

"Why?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"Why wouldn't I understand?"

"Because you never went through this. You never lost a parent."

"I lost my mother."

"Oh really? How?"

"She was killed by a dragon when I was a baby."

"Yet you still can't resist befriending one."

"I believe that the dragon killed her in self defence. After what I've seen in their old home, I believe that they're lives depended on their cruelty to humans."

"You know what? I don't care how you feel about dragons. All I want is to get this damn thing over with."

"You can by letting me go. I'll tell them that you needed to get something from your campsite."

"It's too late for that now, Hiccup."

Suddenly a spine of a Deadly Nadder flew above them. Hiccup looked back and saw her friends flying after them.

Hayden held the knife against Hiccup's neck, "Loose them. Now."

"I don't think we'll loose Astro, his dragon's gaining speed."

"Then use that damn tail you made!"

Hiccup adjusted the foot pedal and caused Toothless to gain twice as much speed as he had at first. She secretly brought the pedal back slowly.

Hayden looked back and saw that Stormfly was catching up, "Go faster!"

"I can't!" yelled Hiccup, "Toothless has been flying all night and all day! He's tired."

Hayden looked back to the group behind them, just as Astro jumped off his dragon and landed on Toothless behind Hayden, "Going somewhere?"

Hayden moved his knife away from Hiccup and tried to cut Astro. Astro dodged the blade and grabbed Hayden's arm. Both boys wrestled with each other as Hiccup used her claws to cut the ropes that held her wrists together.

Astro held both of Hayden's hands as he struggled to hold the boy down, "Don't you ever! Hurt! My friend! Again!" Astro violently shoved Hayden to the side, causing him to fall off the Night Fury's back. Hayded grabbed Hiccup by the arm and pulled her down with him.

Astro quickly took control of the foot pedals an stopped Toothless from falling down as well. Astro looked in front of him and saw that they were now in Outcast territory.

Astro watched as a net was launched up and caught Hiccup before she could fly away. Hiccup crashed into the water, and was later pulled onto one of the Outcast ships.

Alvin was on the ship.

The Outcast chief held a sword and pointed it at Hiccup.

Astro saw Hayden falling, and noticed him loosing grip on his satchel. He quickly flew down and caught it. He looked inside and saw the Book of Dragons.

"I suppose you'll be willing to make a trade." yelled Alvin, "You can give me the book, and I'll give you the girl. Or, you can keep the book, and I'll keep the girl. She'll never leave Outcast Island!"

Savage grabbed Hiccup and held her by the arms.

Hiccup struggled in Savage's grip as she yelled, "Don't do it Astro! Don't give him the-" Savage covered Hiccup's mouth with his hand before Hiccup could finish her sentence.

"The choice is yours Astro." yelled Alvin, "The book, or the girl?"

Astro landed Toothless on the ship deck. He walked toward Alvin, but Alvin pointed his sword at Hiccup. Astro understood what Alvin meant, so he threw the book to the Outcast chief. Once Alvin had the book, he smiled. He grabbed Hiccup and pushed her to Astro.

"Now leave! Our I'll run you all through."

Hiccup and Astro climbed onto Toothless' back and flew away with the others.

Snotlout was holding Hayden while he stared at the two. The others looked to Hiccup in expectation. Fishlegs was the first to speak after a minute of silence, "Please tell me you still have it."

"No." said Hiccup, "Alvin has the Book of Dragons."

Astro looked at Hayden, "Thanks to you, Alvin has the upper hand."

Everyone flew home in silence.
