Chapter Eight: By The Way...
"Oh brother! How I've missed you! Did you miss me!" Rang out Dagur's voice. Toothless was hovering above with Hiccup on his back.
"No. I didn't, Dagur! What do you want this time?" Hiccup asked him landing but not getting off Toothless who was snarling ferociously at Dagur.
"I want the Night Fury, duh! Where are you friends, brother? Did you come alone this time? I brought the armada, and we'll bring Berk to its knees." Dagur laughed out.
"Gee, typical Dagur. Can't come alone himself, need the insurance of the armada because you know you can't beat Toothless and I..." Hiccup remarked angrily.
"Oh Hiccup...I can beat you without the armada." Dagur stated.
"Then you would of been able to do it the first time you found out that we ride dragons, not kill them." Hiccup replied. "Just give up Dagur, you can't win." Hiccup said to him.
"Not until I get that Night Fury! Get him!" Dagur ordered his men.
"Up Toothless!" Hiccup yelled, Toothless knocked back the men running at him with his wings and tail before leaping in to the sky. "Plasma blast!" Hiccup commanded. Toothless fired it at Dagur, it threw him back. "Good shot bud..." Hiccup said rubbing his head. Toothless crooned with a smile. Dagur got up visibly angry now as he pointed his sword at Toothless, suddenly there were bola's from every angle shot at Toothless. They got him and secured him on the ground. Dagur pulled Hiccup off him, his men tied his hands behind his back and forced him on his knees.
"I–I did it! I won!" Dagur yelled maniacally. "Shouldn't of come alone, should you of brother?" Dagur sneered raising his sword. "Now to make sure you don't do anything else..." Dagur smirked bringing it down over Hiccup who closed his eyes tightly. The blow never came, Hiccup looked up at where Dagur was and saw that body up to his chest was frozen in ice. Sliding in was Elsa on her feet.
"Elsa, I told you to stay with the others! This is to dangerous! Go back!" Hiccup told her. The berserkers were closing in now as Elsa stood in a defensive position.
"If someone threatens our home, then we all fight to defend it!" Elsa said as she shot an ice blast at a group of men.
"You got that right!" Came Snotlout's voice as he came through lighting a fire ring around Hiccup and Toothless as Astrid and Fishlegs flew in to cut them loose. Hiccup jumped on Toothless again.
"You are all in so much trouble!" Hiccup yelled.
"Aw come on Hiccup...you know you're gonna thank us later for saving your stubborn butt." Tuffnut said.
"Yeah, so take the help!" Ruffnut added in.
"Elsa, lets go. You got me safe, now come on." Hiccup said. No one had seen Dagur get free of the ice. He came up behind Elsa to cut her, Hiccup gasped as he jumped off Toothless and ran to her. "ELSA!..." Hiccup yelled pushing her out of the way as he took a dagger to the side. Hiccup let out a painful yell as he fell to the ground holding his side that was bleeding, he coughed up a bit of blood that trickled down his cheek. Elsa recovered from being pushed, she shook her head and looked back to see Hiccup on the ground bleeding. She rushed to him quickly.
"Why did you do that! Why would you do that?! Oh my god, Hiccup!..." Elsa yelled with tears in her eyes pulling him in to her lap.
"Oops, he wasn't the target but oh well, it works." Dagur laughed. The other riders landed beside them.
"Take Hiccup and get him looked at..." Elsa said in a cold tone as she got up.
"E–Elsa...what are you...doing?" Hiccup coughed. She didn't answer him, her back was to them.
"Take him, now. Get everyone inside...and don't let anyone out..." Elsa warned.
"W–what are you going to do...?" Astrid asked. Elsa glanced back, Astrid understood.
"Do what she says... Now. Everyone move now!" Astrid ordered.
"Oooh do I get to fight you? This will be fun..." Dagur laughed. Snotlout had taken Hiccup on Hookfang as they all cleared out yelling to get inside and take cover immediately. "Oh come on...she's not even a challenge!..." Dagur said disappointed that everyone was making a fuss over Elsa.
"You shouldn't of come here and messed with the people I care about. You shouldn't of hurt Hiccup...Now you will pay." Elsa said in a low tone, as she opened her eyes they were white and her body began to glow blue as snow began falling rapidly, it was a white out blizzard.
(In the Great Hall)
Hiccup laid on the table in pain, Toothless laying beside him. Stoick rushed over. "What happened?!" He demanded.
"Dagur went to strike Elsa and stupid over here pushed her out of the way." Snotlout replied. Astrid punched him in the arm. "Ow!"
"Easy son...We'll get you fixed up. Gobber! Find Gothi, now!" Stoick ordered.
"Uh, I'd love to, really I would but...I think we just got us one of those bad snow storms early again..."Gobber stated.
"What are you talking about, Gobber?..." Stoick asked as he got up and moved to the door, he pushed Gobber out of the way and saw the raging storm outside. Stoick closed the door slowly. "I see..." Stoick stated.
"Its Elsa, she got really upset when Hiccup got stabbed by Dagur, she told us to take him inside and not to come out til the storm was over..." Ruffnut said from the table. Hiccup coughed as she sat up holding his side.
"N–no...I have to get to her...Toothless...help me." Hiccup said as he forced himself off the table. Toothless was at his side, letting him lean on him. Stoick stood in front of him.
"No son. You'll be killed with that wound and it's a complete white out...you won't even be able to see." Stoick told him.
"He's okay Chief. Toothless known how to see without seeing..." Fishlegs interjected.
"I'm still not letting you go out. I won't lose my son." Stoick told him now looking back to Hiccup.
"I don't care about me!...Elsa needs me right now! Let me save her...My life means nothing without her in it." Hiccup yelled at him. Stoick was taken back by how quickly Hiccup retaliated. Stoick saw the look in his eyes, he was determined but something else was there too. Stoick sighed as he stepped aside. Hiccup got on Toothless as two men opened the door for him. Hiccup looked outside, his father hadn't been joking. Toothless looked up at his rider. "Do it Toothless!" Hiccup yelled. Toothless opened his mouth and let out a screech, in moments his ears began to twitch about. "Take me to her, bud." Hiccup said. Toothless darted off, flapping hard to stay on course in the storm. "Come on bud, we got this." Hiccup encouraged his best friend. Hiccup saw the flashes of Elsa's magic. "There Toothless." Hiccup called to him through the harsh winds. Toothless swooped down and landed near them although they couldn't be seen and had trouble walking against the powerfulness of the storm.
(With Dagur and Elsa)
"H–hey, what's going on!..." Dagur asked looking around now unable to see her, or anything for that matter.
"Didn't you hear the rumors? There's a new girl on Berk who can control ice and snow...And guess what...you'll never see her again." Elsa said as she thrust her arms forward shooting a blast of ice at him. Elsa slowly walked towards him as she was flinging her arms around keeping the other men back.
"Hey, come on. I don't find this amusing!" Dagur yelled. Elsa stepped in front of him now her hand ready to strike. Hiccup ran in and stood just inches from her.
"Elsa, don't!" Hiccup yelled as he slowly walked towards her, he was holding his side and clearly still in pain. Toothless was having a hard time staying in once place beside him.
"Hiccup! You shouldn't be out here!" Elsa yelled back to him, her eyes never leaving Dagur's figure.
"You don't want to do this! Everything you stood for about not being a monster, would be meaningless! Don't do this. I know Dagur deserves it, but don't. Don't kill him. You're not a killer...Don't Elsa..." Hiccup pleaded as he got closer now. Elsa pulled her hand back to strike but as she let it go she curled her hand to a fist and punched Dagur in the face, it caused him to fall back unconscious. Elsa collapsed to the ground, the storm stopped instantly. Toothless landed as Hiccup ran to her ignoring his pain. He wrapped his arms around her tightly as she cried against him. "Ssh...it's alright now. See it's all okay..." Hiccup said softly. With the storm over, Stoick came out with the other riders and Gobber.
"I want him out of here and on Outcast Island, now." Stoick ordered.
"Yes sir." Astrid saluted. Snotlout tied up the unconscious Dagur and flew with the twins to Outcast Island. Most of Dagur's men escaped but others were frozen in place from Elsa's attacks.
"Hiccup, you should be inside. That's a bad wound." Gobber said.
"I–I'm fine..." Hiccup panted a bit. Elsa pulled back from him and saw the wound. Hiccup grunted in pain. Toothless screeched nuzzling his rider's face.
"Lets go home, but first...Elsa...the snow?" Stoick asked.
"Oh, of course." Elsa said as she let Hiccup sit on Toothless now, closing her eyes she spread her arms out and the snow began to gather in the sky, Elsa's hands slowly moved together over her head. The snow formed a snowflake in the sky, she smiled softly and spread her arms with made the snow fly off and vanish.
"And you are just full of surprises, aren't you?" Hiccup asked her. Elsa moved beside him and climbed on Toothless's back letting Hiccup rest against her. While they walked with Stoick and Gobber walking beside Toothless, Hiccup had managed to fall asleep, his breathing had calmed down. He seemed peaceful and no longer in pain. Stoick carried Hiccup upstairs to his room and laid him in his bed, Gothi arrived a while later to fix up his injury with a healing paste and bandage. She left Gobber did as well Stoick attended the village and Elsa stayed in a chair near Hiccup's bed as he slept.
(3 hours later)
Hiccup began to groan and slowly open his eyes, they focused and he saw Elsa sitting beside him, a worried look in her eyes. Well a mix of worry and anger towards him specifically. "You idiot!" She yelled at him suddenly, Hiccup winced at the sound of her voice.
"What?..." Hiccup asked her confused now.
"What do you mean what?!" She yelled again tears forming in her blue eyes.
"Oh..." He said now looking to the wound on his side. "I'm fine..." Hiccup groaned some.
"No you're not, Hiccup...You're not okay...Why did you do that for me?..." Elsa cried lightly. Hiccup smiled as he cupped her cheek and wiped her tears from falling.
"Hey...stop crying. It doesn't suit you..." Hiccup breathed heavily as he fell back holding his side.
"Why didn't you say with the others!" Elsa yelled at him.
"Because I'm stubborn and couldn't let you have all the fun." He tried to laugh but cringed in pain. Elsa looked over him sadly.
"Its not funny...I was so afraid you were going to die, Hiccup...I lost control over it. I would of killed Dagur in a heartbeat if you hadn't stopped me." Elsa sobbed to him, Hiccup pulled her in against him and rubbed her back.
"Ssh...I did it because I couldn't let you die." Hiccup said softly. Elsa pulled back from him in shock, tears still falling.
"I'm not anything worth saving, Hiccup..." Elsa looked away now but upon feeling his fingers touch her cheek, Elsa looked up him. "Stop moving you idiot, you're going to kill yourself..." Elsa scolded him.
"I've been in a lot of almost dying situations. Trust me, I'm not going anywhere, I'm afraid you're stuck with me forever." Hiccup said laughed, seeing that she was still sad he sighed. "You're wrong, Elsa..." Hiccup said in a serious tone now, she wiped her eyes although tears still fell.
"What...are you talking about? Wrong about what..." Elsa asked him now, Hiccup cupped her cheek again brining her closer to him. He was more sure of it than anything now. Maybe it was the fact Elsa went against Dagur for him, or that he refused to see her get killed by his enemy. But Hiccup knew how he felt now and he was going to make sure she knew those feelings perfectly with no hidden meanings. His green eyes stared in to her blue eyes, staring intently and seriously.
"Wrong about not being worth saving..." Hiccup said, Elsa gasped a bit, "You are worth everything and more to me." Hiccup whispered and before Elsa could say anything, he pressed his lips to hers softly. Elsa's eyes widened instantly as the kiss held for a good few moments before Hiccup pulled back. He was now smiling at her. Elsa still cried, shocked at his actions and words. Elsa wrapped her arms around Hiccup in a tightly hug, it caused them both to fall back and Hiccup to gasp out from the pain of her landing on his wound.
"Oh Gods, I'm sorry Hiccup..." Elsa stated quickly getting off him and looking over his wound for any bleeding.
"Don't worry about it, few more hits and I won't feel anything anymore." He joked with a laugh.
"Tha–that's not funny, Hiccup!" Elsa tried not to laugh as she looked in to his eyes. Hiccup smiled as he stroked his fingers through her hair, then he thought of the perfect thing to say to her.
"By the way...This idiot loves you too." Hiccup said lovingly, Elsa couldn't say anything, she just laughed a little as tears slowed and stopped falling at least. Hiccup leaned in close to her, and captured her lips with his own. Elsa closed her eyes and kissed him back deeply. Toothless sat up and shot 3 blasts out the window in joy for his rider and Elsa. They broke from the kiss and pressed their foreheads together.
"Are we a?..." Elsa asked.
"Do you want to?..." Hiccup asked softly. Elsa nodded. "Then we are, officially." Hiccup whispered before they shared another kiss.
