Actual chapter six! I just noticed that I was a chapter off, I was thrown off by the prologue, oh well.
I DON'T OWN!
ENJOY!
Stoick glared down at the page sitting on his desk. He had to go to the next town and sort out somethings. He didn't want to leave his daughter alone, not right now.
But he knew he needed to go, or else the traders won't come on their next route, the town wouldn't be able to survive that, not so close to winter.
Stoick sighed before rubbing his eyes. He slammed his hands on his desk and stood. He made his way quickly from the room, passing confused villagers as he stormed out of town without his horse, Thunderdrum.
Astrid was cleaning the chicken coop when she heard her father get nearer.
"Astrid. I will be leaving for a bit. I have some business in the Peacable village." Stoick told her as he pushed his way into the house. Astrid ground her teeth together.
It didn't take long before Stoick was ready. A villager had brought Thunderdrum to the house while he was doing so, and now he and Thunderdrum were ready to go.
"Be careful." Astrid couldn't help the desperation in her voice.
Don't worry. I'll be back before you know it." He took off at a decent pace, leaving a stony Astrid glaring at his retreating back.

Hiccup rubbed his eyes after he woke, still fully dressed with his leg still attached.
He jumped a bit when he saw Frost's figure sitting on a chair by the door, Rapunzel no where in sight.
"H-hi." Hiccup said before yawning. Frost didn't move. Hiccup stood on unsteady feet and moved closer to him, he still didn't move. It was then that Hiccup noticed that Frost was sleeping.
"That must be so uncomfortable." Hiccup muttered as he moved closer and saw Frost's head leaning at a very... interesting angle.
Hiccup nudged Frost's arm slightly, but the boy didn't move. He did so again, harder, and accidentally sent the other to the floor. Frost hit the floor with a loud thump, making Hiccup flinch.
"What!" Frost exclaimed from where he fell.
"Sorry! My fault." Hiccup moved to help Frost. His hand grabbing Frost's upper arm, before Frost got to his feet quickly and backed away from him, pulling his arm from Hiccup's grasp.
"Don't touch me." Frost hissed. Hiccup lowered his head. Rapunzel chose that time to burst into the room.
"Oh Hiccup! You're up, that is great! I have your new clothes ready." She said, ignoring Frost completely. It wasn't that she was ignoring him, it was that when Hiccup looked up, he saw that Frost wasn't in the room anymore.
"He will lighten up, sooner or later. Here, try these on!" Rapunzel told him as she opened the doors on her chest, making Hiccup blush a deep red.
"Oh don't be like that. I'm a wardrobe. Take the clothes, try them on, love them." Rapunzel told him. Hiccup did as told and grabbed the first outfit he saw, which happened to be a green undershirt, brown slacks, and a brown vest. He quickly got changed, Rapunzel had to face the other way, and reattached his leg under his pants. He grabbed the shoes that were at the bottom of the wardrobe and slipped one on his foot.
"Don't worry, the left shoe should fit on your prosthetic." Rapunzel shut her doors and backed up to take a good look at him. After he was done she opened the door that had a mirror attached to it so Hiccup could see what he looked like.
"Won't it be cold outside?" Rapunzel wondered out loud. Hiccup looked at her incredulously.
"I can go out side?" He looked at her, his face taking on a hopeful expression. Rapunzel smiled at him and chose a dark green, thick, cape for him.
"I asked Bunny, he said alright. Just take it slow. I called for Toothless, so you won't have to walk." Rapunzel was startled when Hiccup hugged her, well, hugged her as best he could, considering she is a wardrobe.
"Thank you!" Hiccup exclaimed right before the door burst open and Toothless made his presence known with a loud whinny.
"Hey buddy. Ready to go outside?" Hiccup quickly fixed the cape into place, throwing the hood over his head, before getting onto the waiting horse. The two took off at breakneck speeds, Rapunzel yelling at them to "GO SLOWER!"

Stoick could barely see as the snowstorm raged on. He tried to continue. He was too angry to stop. The Peacables had agreed to his terms, but at the cost of extra wool, those thieving bastards!
He continued on, only pausing a second when he heard the wolves, before continuing at a faster pace. No way was he going to allow wolves to eat him, not when they ate his son. He couldn't do that to Astrid.
Before he could get further in his thoughts, a wolf jumped out at him, clinging to his arm with its jaw.
Stoick threw his arm out and bashed the wolf on a tree. He saw an iron gate and decided to take a chance with that. He and Thunderdrum dashed between the gates. The wolves didn't dare go any further.
Stoick slid off his horse and took the reins leading both to the door. He knocked but no one answered.
So he knocked again, before entering the mansion, no, the castle. He saw a fire lit in a comfy looking sitting room. Thunderdrum sat down next to him as he warmed his hands.
Before too long a large, freezing, gust of wind put the fire out.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" A loud voice commanded. Stoick got to his feet and brandished his sword, which was in it's sheath on Thunderdrum, who was also in a fight ready position.
"Who's THERE!" Stoick yelled out. He looked left then right, but he didn't see anyone.
Another gust of wind, only this time, it was aimed at his sword, which instantly froze. Stoick let go with a gasp, holding his hand.
"Show YOUR SELF!" Stoick boomed out. The whole room got colder. A snowstorm started to rage around him, frightening Stoick more then he let on. A cold laugh was heard all around him. Shivers raced up and down his spine. He tried not to let it get to him. He grabbed for Thunderdrum's reins and used them to steady himself.
"Are you sure you want to see?" A voice, the voice from before, whispered all around him. The storm continued, only easing a bit, before a figure started to emerge from in front of Stoick.
"Are you sure you want to see the face of a true monster?" The figure dissapeared and the whispers continued. Stoick looked around him, trying to keep the figure in his sight.
"Fine." At this the storm stopped. Snow drifted down into soft piles around him. The figure moved forward. It was a boy, but the boy was blue, made entirely out of ice, except for the shirt and pants, which were torn by his sharp edges.
"Is this what you wanted to see? Is this why you entered my home? To see the freak? To see the MONSTER?!" The snow started to sharpen, making deadly icicles and floating into the air. The pointed ice was now edging toward Stoick.
"Well. You saw it." The ice was now pressed against his skin.
The sound of hoof beats came from the stairs.
"FROST! STOP IT!" A voice screamed. Stoick turned quickly to see the person who spoke, making the ice shards behind him dig into his skin painfully, but it was worth it.
"Hiccup?" He asked as the boy and his horse made their way to them.
"Frost. Please, don't hurt him." Hiccup pleaded as he jumped from Toothless, wincing painfully when his feet hit the ground and his wounds were jarred.
He grabbed Frost's extended arm without thinking, trying to keep him from killing his father.
Frost glared at them both.
"He entered my home, lit a fire," At that Hiccup flinched, making Stoick feel bad as he remembered his sons phobia, "And then tried to demand things from me." Frost finished. He clenched his fist slowly, making the ice shards close in on Stoick, drawing blood.
"PLEASE! Frost please! Stop it!" Hiccup couldn't stop the tears that started to fall.
"Get back to your room Hiccup." Frost ground out, pausing the ice from going further. Stoick was glad, the ice hurt on it's own, but add the fact that it was slowly piercing his skin...
"Let him go." Hiccup said stubbornly, the face only hindered by a few tears.
"Let him go and I will go back up those stairs and stay there." Hiccup said, his heart breaking. He was promising to never leave, Why? He didn't know.
Frost's own heart beat fast at the prospect of never having to let Hiccup go. He didn't know why, the boy was annoying. But he couldn't help the grin that took his face.
"You won't ever leave?" He asked, letting the shards retract from Stoick's body.
"I won't." A simple statement, one that shouldn't make Frost feel so happy, shouldn't make him feel human once more.
Frost melted the ice within the room and grabbed Hiccup's arm in an icey grip, making Hiccup wince once more.
Stoick wanted to argue, but he couldn't. Another gust of wind burst into the room, one that was strong enough to push Stoick out of the house. A carriage was waiting for him. Thunderdrum was pushed into it with Stoick, the would have made Hiccup laugh, if it was in any other situation.
The carriage drove off, taking his father away. He felt the hand on his arm pull at him. He couldn't help but follow, unless he wanted to be an arm short.
"Where are we going?" Hiccup asked.
"You said you'd go back up to your room and stay there." Frost reminded him. He was roughly pushed into his room, the door slamming behind him.
Toothless was still down stairs Hiccup realized.
He started to cry, the tears flowing down his face. He threw himself onto the bed and hid his face in his arms. How could he do that? If he had waited only another week or two, then he would be free to go. But then, his dad wouldn't be there when he got back.
He screamed into his pillow. Rapunzel tried to get him to talk, but all attempts were ignored. Hiccup just wanted to go home.
Hope you liked it!
