Chapter 7: Dreams, Shadows and Nightmares, Part I

"Jaracove?, Jaracove?, where are you?" Hiccup called as he moved through the foggy vine filled landscape. His face was stained with dried mud and the side of his head bleeding. he slowly moved past the vine after vine in search of Jaracove. he kept tripping because his prosthetic foot kept getting caught in the hidden vines on the moist vine-forest floor. "Jaracove!? Jaracove!?" he screamed as he saw an opening to a clearing in the distance.

He made his way to the clearing to fine Jaracove sitting in the middle with his head hung low, his body slowly rising and falling as he breathed. Hiccup slowly moved close to the boy. "Jaracove… Jaracove…" Slowly getting close to the boy. no response. he reached to boy and put his hand on the boys shoulder. "...Why?" right then Jaracove jumped up and forced Hiccup to the ground and pinned him.

As Hiccup opened his eyes to see Jaracove his heart stopped in fear. It was jaracove in body, but his face…It was that of a ghoul, slit dragon eyes an a grin that went to his ears displaying sharp blood stained teeth "Hiccup love mee, love me hiccup" the 'Thing' said "I am your love. Body, Soul, Mind and all" the thing gurgled. "I might not have your love now but I will soon. I will drag him down with me… never will you see him again. no more dragon boy, dead with me never again" the Thing Screamed.

Hiccup lunged up out of his bed, his breathing and heart fast, sweat rolled down his face. he quickly looked over to Jaracove who was also sweating and moaning in his sleep tossing and turning. Hiccup wiped the sweat off his face. "Its just the Wisps… they get in your head and give you terrors…" He whispered to himself to calm down. Hiccup then felt a small bit of blood coming from his head

Wisps did give the vikings gifts but at a price. The Wisps had a nasty habit of getting into peoples minds and pulling their worst fears up making a nightmare that was some what real, and by that I mean something small would happen to the real person that happened to the dream version. just like Hiccups head.

Hiccup looked back at Jaracove who was muttering "No. no. why. no" Hiccup Got up and sat down by Jaracove and brushed his hair. "Be strong its only a dream" Hiccup then saw a bruise appear on Jaracoves shoulder close to his neck... it was in the shape of a hand. Hiccup slowly put his hand on the bruise to find it was an exact match. "What's happening in there?"

A look in to the sleeping dragon head.

WIBWIBWIBWIBWIBWIBWIBWIBWIBWIB, WIBBLY SCREEN!

"Jaracove? Buddy what are you doing?" Asked Hiccup as Jaracove moved closer. His eyes were a glowing red. "No. Jaracove please don't..." Jaracove grabbed Hiccup's right collar bone. Hiccup began to scream as a loud crack could be heard as he was forced to the ground.

Jaracove moved down to the broken Hiccup. "STOP PLEASE!" Hiccup yelled. Jaracove then ripped off Hiccups clothes and forced himself into Hiccup. Hiccup grabbed Jaracove with his one working hand and tried pushing Jaracove off him. Jaracove then slammed his hands down on Hiccup's chest and with one last scream there was silence. All that could be heard was the cracking of hiccup's bones as Jaracove pulled his hands away.

Jaracove flew out of bed he was white as a ghost.

"Hey are you all right?"

Jaracove quickly jumped out of bed and ran to the corner of the room. "NO STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Jaracove cried, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Whoa, hey buddy its ok it was just a bad dream." Hiccup said trying to calm Jaracove down. Jaracove screamed to stay away, Jaracove folded himself holding his legs to his body tears falling down onto his legs. Hiccup backed up and kneeled down "What happened in your dream Buddy?"

"..."

"Jaracove, what, happened…?" The room was silent the only sounds that could be heard was the crash of the ocean and Jaracove's tears. Hiccup tried again to get close to Jaracove, but Jaracove ran out of the room and ran out of the house. Hiccup followed to the doorway where he saw Jaracove running off into the forest. "...what happened…"

Hiccup saw a thin wide hipped dark shadow coming up the trail to his house. A all too familiar voice come from the shadow. "Was that dragon boy?"

"Oh hey Astrid, Yeah… The Wisps' dreams must of really freaked him. he was balling and didn't want me to even get close to him."

"Whoa" Astrid said putting her hand on her hip as she stood in Hiccup's doorway. "It must of been bad if he wouldn't even let you touch him. What marks did he have?" Astrid asked flipping her hair out of her face.

Hiccup stood thinking for a second. "He, He had a bruise on his shoulder…"

"What kinda bruise?"

"A, hand bruise…"

"A hand?"

"A hand"

"A!... Hand?"

"My hand…"

"Your hand, was it like a strange bruise like you were strangling him?"

"No, more like i was trying to pry him off me"

"Why in Thor's name would you be trying to pry him off you?"

Hiccup sat down against his doorway, Astrid sat down next to him. "Well yesterday he kind of went feral and lost control and just about really hurt me."

"How did he go feral?"

"He could smell me, like my scent was too strong. He lost control of himself and when he came to he couldn't remember anything."

"What do you mean he lost control?" Astrid said tucking her hair behind her ear.

Hiccup sat silent and blushed "My scent was to strong… and he lost control…"

Astrid's eye quickly widened and her hands slapped across her mouth. Hiccup Looked down and his face was red hot. Neither could even speak releasing what had just been said. Astrid finaly got the nerve to ask. "What… What did he do? Did he rape you?"

"No he kind of just tore my pants of and had his way with me"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Um, why are you not in bed" Hiccup asked trying to sway the conversation.

Astrid had to think for a moment she couldn't saw what she was doing to keep it a surprise. "I was, I couldn't sleep"

"Oh well i-" Hiccup was stopped mid sentence as the helmets by the door clanked and others did in front of houses. Hiccup and Astrid turned to see smoke balls flying around the village. one came and sat in hiccups lap and the smoke cleared from around it, it was a light gray dragon with big darting eyes that it keep licking very fast.

"Whoa, a Wisp never has cleared its smoke cover!" Astrid said as she went to touch it. as soon as she touched the dragon she jumped back frightened she was breathing fast.

"Astrid! What happened Hiccup said as he tryed to move the dragon off him only to have same reaction….

… "Jaracove there you are… Were have you been?" Hiccup asked Jaracove as he grabbed his hand. Right then Jaracove's hand turned into claws and dug into Hiccup's chest as blood dripped down…

The Wisp flew off as Hiccup jumped back. Hiccup look down to see his chest covered in blood. He saw Astrid standing over him her arm cut from the shoulder down to about her elbow it was dripping blood. She stood over Hiccup Screaming for help. Hiccup blacked out

Later…

Hiccup slowly opened his eyes as his sight became clearer he could make out the healer's hut. He tried to lean up but was met with a sharp pain and with a whimper fell back on the bed. Soon Stoick and Astrid was in his sight.

"Oh Hiccup your ok!" Stoick said with a sigh of relief.

"Dad, Astrid… Your arm… Are you ok?" Hiccup said as a healer woman help him set up.

"Yeah it wasn't that bad a few wraps and i was better you had it lot worse, what happened what did you see?" She asked she was holding the wraps around her arms, there were big spots were blood sept through .

"Jaracove i think.. then next thing i know this monster is in front of me and it-"

"Perices you with its claws" Astrid finished.

"Is it bad?"

The healer woman came over and handed Hiccup some herbed tea. "The claw wounds are about and inch in, they didn't hit and main blood veins we were able to stop the bleeding, the witch lady is come up soon with a healing potion to fix you and the blond girl up, you are lucky to be alive" she said as she removed Hiccups Wraps and replaced the blood soaked ones with clean new ones. "Dont try to move until she gets here you could worsen the wound." she said as she left the room.

"How... bad... do... I... look...?

' Hiccup said looking at his hands, they looked very pale almost white.

"I thought were were going to die on me" Astrid said softly chuckling.

"Wheres… Jaracove…?"

"He's in your room he heard it was claw marks and thought he went feral I explained and he didn't feel as bad, but he wanted to stay away. He didn't know if the smell of your blood would do something to him" Astrid said with a slight mark of pain across her face as she fixed her wrappings around her shoulder again.

Hiccup couldn't help but feel like this was all his fault. Jaracove wanting to stay away from him, Astrid getting hurt. "It, it, won't...work...will… it? Me… and… him"

Stoick sat down beside the bed, his hands in his lap. "Now Hiccup…. You know your mom use to say" Stoick began with a light chuckle "Scorching suns nor Freezing cold, could keep two who are in love apart. They would swim and sail savage seas, without a fear of drowning just to be by each others side…. I used those very words to ask for your mothers hand…." Stoick laughed, with a caring look and breath. "If you mom was here and had seen you two thats what she would of said… you know looking back she was just like you. She would always say 'Theres a better way then killing these dragons'... Hiccup you have her spirit she's a fighter and so are you. if you're truly in love with him, well you're just going to fight."

Hiccup layed there trying to understand his father. 'Mom, you were so loving how could you have fell in love with dad' "I...don't… want… to… lose... him... hes... my... best... friend"

Frieda came up beside Stoick she was carrying a small bag under her arm. "Iz he okay?" she said looking at Hiccup. She opened the bag and she pulled out two small pills and handed one to Astrid. "Eat zis it vill heal you vite up, it villy hurts so be vornd" Frieda put the other one into hiccup's mouth.

Astrid ate the small pill as soon as she was done her arm glowed a bright yellow light and she screamed so loud it could be heard from the fields of asgard and back. "Thor Almighty!" She yelled as she fell to the ground catching her breath.

Hiccup swallowed the pill as well. Screaming he grabbed his chest where the claw marks where "IT'S ON THE INSIDE!" He yelled as his screams became louder and louder, slowly his chest glowed.

"Calm down Hiccup! your Injuries ver a lot vers it will take longer" Frieda said trying to make Hiccup calm.

Hiccup screamed louder. "MAKE IT STOP IT TEARING ME APART!" "IT HURTS STOP IT STOP IT!"

Jaracove looked up from his bed "Hiccup!... No i can't go, its just the medicine…"

"Gods the pain" Hiccup screamed

"Hiccup, Hiccup" Jaracove keep crying as he balled himself up.
