Hey... I wanted to say hey to my friend. She doesn't have a profile but she's still reading my stories so i wanted to say HEY CRAZY CAT LADY!
Now to my followers. Thank you for hanging on while I struggled to keep up on my grades. I got a C on my math exam DX luckily it didn't ruin my semester average but i'm not used to getting C's on my grade card. oh well... everything else was a A so i can't complain.
And morning they took off and flew towards Berk and the storm that waited for them both the one coming towards them and the one waiting on Berk.
The storm hit them hard and they had trouble fighting through it. But after half a day of flying though the rain the storm finally wore down and they spotted Berk instantly. But it wasn't the Berk they remembered.
Huge ice shards spiked out of the ground and the town was completely abandoned. A few Terrible Terrors flew past them quickly and disappeared behind an ice shard but except for that the town was quiet and watchful.
"Where is everyone?" Asked Astrid worriedly.
"They're hiding." Whispered Eret looking around scared. "We shouldn't be here…at least not right now." His eyes were popping out of his head as he and the Scuttleclaw he was riding started to back up.
"No!" Yelled the young adults blocking off his line of passage.
"Hey! Let me…!"
"Why…hello there." Sneered a voice so cold that it only promised death. Hiccup was leaning against a wall of a building looking up at them. His wings, tail, and ears nowhere in sight. The only thing that showed any real dragon like characteristics where the patches of black and his slitted eyes.
"Hiccup!" Yelled Astrid happily. The boy looked up at her apparently thinking, then he smiled calmly and walked out of the shadows.
"Nice to see you again." Everyone gasped as they noticed his armor was gone and he wore only a dark green tunic and black leggings. The tunic he wore underneath was torn to pieces. Big chunks were missing and blood splattered the front as well as the back. His leggings were covered in blood and torn on the legs.
"What happened to your armor?" Asked Gobber.
"Let's just say it got in my way while…hunting." Snickered Hiccup.
"What were you…um…hunting?" Asked Tuffnut his eyes widening a little when Hiccup's gaze hit him.
"The usual…Berkians." Stated Hiccup. He gripped the side on the building and started to climb up easily.
"So you're a cannibal!" Accused Eret. Hiccup chuckled darkly as he made it to the top. He leaned against the chimney and stared at him amusement darkening his eyes.
"Oh no. I hunt for my master…but…I do think I did take a few…big bites out of someone…their blood was so good that I had to have more. You'd be more than a juicy mouthful. If you want I could taste you to see if I like the flavor of you." Growled Hiccup leaning closer to the edge as if he liked the way they backed away from him.
"What do you mean you hunt for your master? Who's your master?" Asked Valka. Hiccup's eyes turned to her and they hardened suddenly.
"You! Now you would be perfect for a little…Snack." Hissed Hiccup licking his lips hungrily.
"Hiccup!" Snapped Stoick angrily flying in front of Valka.
"Awww… How adorable. The great chief of the Hairy Hooligans has a soft spot for his wife." Hiccup did a fake pout not noticing that it was his father and mother he was talking to. He smiled cruelly and laughed as Stoick glowered at him.
"Your glare harms me not Stoick the Vast!" Exclaimed Hiccup a mad glint in his eyes. "I am the fire in a dragons lungs! Death's messenger! Spawn of Loki! I am greater than the Red Death. Greater than the mightiest Chief. Greater than a hundred men! Your meaningless glare will not stop me from ripping into your flesh and tearing your heart out…" He paused and then smirked.
"I know that it has already happened to you…I can feel it in your soul. A great weight is held there… it will not loosen its hold." Stoick stared at him shocked.
"You are torn between your long lost wife and your boy aren't you Stoick. You wonder which you would save if you have to choose." Hiccup smiled his teeth pointed at the end. "Save a wife who hadn't wanted to see you in twenty years or…a son who doesn't want to be chief…at least not yet."
Stoick stared at his son for a long while till he frowned and glared at Hiccup with a glare that on any normal twenty year old would make them bow their heads down in shame. Not Hiccup however but his smile did falter. His eyes shot over to Astrid and he backed up a little bit.
Stoick looked over and saw Astrid blowing into a wooden whistle that was shaped like a dragon claw. No sound came out but Hiccup's eyes narrowed and he screamed and covered his ears. "What's that?" Asked Stoick.
"It's a whistle I got for Hiccup a few years ago. We can't hear it but he can." Said Astrid blowing into the small wooden contraption. "Trader Johann gave it to me after the whole Nightmare Night incident. " She blew into it again and Hiccup fell off the building as his knees buckled and he screamed.
Quickly in hopes of stopping the fall Hiccup's wings ears and tail came out quickly but…
It was too late.
Hiccup landed on his back his right wing underneath him in an awkward angle. He screamed in pain and everyone flew down as Terrible Terrors flew towards the center of town, disturbed by the screams of pain.
"HICCUP!" Screamed Valka jumping off of her Scuttleclaw once the little landed and running over to her son.
"Get away from me." Snarled Hiccup. Valka ignored him and continued to get closer.
Bad idea.
Hiccup snarled and used his tale to slap her across the face sending her backwards. He struggled to get up but his wing made a snapping noise and he screamed.
"Valka!" Yelled Stoick helping his wife up.
"I'm fine Stoick it's just a scratch." Stated Valka cupping her cheek as a few drops of blood ran down her face.
"You shouldn't have come near me." Snarled Hiccup baring his teeth out angrily. He whimpered and struggled to his stomach. He got onto all fours and snarled at them his right wing dangling towards the ground a bone poking out of the skin.
He took a step towards them and then an arrow came whizzing towards him and hit him in the side of the head. He screamed and fell over onto the ground blood splattering across the ground.
"Quickly!" Said the person who shot it from the shadows of a house. "He'll be back up soon." The group grabbed onto their dragon's horns and gently guided them towards the shadow. Then a child stepped out and frowned at them a cross bow in his hands.
"Gustav!" Gasped Snotlout.
"Hi guys… we can talk later. Follow me now if you want to keep your kidney inside you and not in his stomach." They stared shocked at the young boy.
"Gustav you just shot Hiccup in the head!" yelled Tuffnut dumbfounded, his sister staring at the boy awed.
"Yeah yeah now come on before he wakes up." A Night Fury roar echoed around them and Gustav started running. The others pulled the dragons along as they ran as quickly as they could.
"QUICKLY! FIND THEM! "Yelled the ghastly voice of Drago Bludfist.
"This way!" whispered Gustav pointing toward the Cove. They ran that way as silently as they could and soon they exploded into the clearing.
They were met by the Vikings of Berk. Everyone was silent for a long moment then instantly they cheered.
"SHUT UP!" Screamed Gustav. "Their coming go hide!"
"What about Gerda?" Asked the girl's mother.
"Where is she?" Asked Gustav.
"She went out looking for you." Said the mother.
"She'll be found and killed." Gasped Eret.
"I'll get…" Began Gustav only to be denied by his mother.
"No you won't." Her shrill cry echoed throughout the clearing.
"No one will actually." Hiccup's voice vibrated into the Cove and every Vikings gasped. They all looked up and spotted Hiccup standing by Drago, Gerda struggling in his arms. Dragons stood behind them and Toothless sat near Hiccup snarling down at the Vikings.
Hiccup smiled a toothy evil grin and put the tip of the arrow that had hit him to Gerda's throat. "Do as I say and the girl's blood won't be on his hands but yours." Said Drago. No one moved then Hiccup pressed the blood stained arrow harder into the girl's soft flesh. She screamed in pain as it broke the first layer of skin.
"What should we do?" Asked Astrid.
"I don't know." Replied Stoick.
