HTTYD: A new Beginning

Chapter 9: Panic Attack

Okay, I'm not even going to try to give you a reason why I haven't updated in so long! What was it? May 11th? I'm such a bad author! This may not be the best thing for me!:( If you guys still want me to continue, Please let me know! I need some motivation!? ゚リチ so here is the chapter that is taking me FOREVER!

Hiccup looked around but was still in denial of what had just happened. He screamed his fiancé's name but nothing came back. He flew down to cloud level and searched. What he saw was the most horrifying thing ever! He watched as they pulled Astrid and Stormfly in a net onto the boat. He was to out of range to shoot or he could risk hitting either Astrid, Stormfly, or worse, both! He could only sit there and watch as his beloved fiancé was captured by the remaining Berserkers! What was he to do?

"RAWWWRRRRR"

Hiccup turned his head to see Valka the rest of the dragon riders, and the whole "A" team. He flew to his mom and explained everything that had happened. He was so scared he could barely get a phrase out without taking a few breaths! Valka and Hiccup lead the others to the ships below but were slowed by arrows coming at them. Hiccup shot a warning at the ship. He needed to see what whoever was leading in the ship(because it was definitely not Dagur) wanted. Because he needed to give it quick! He reached the boat and found that SAVAGE was the leader! Oh boy!

"Savage! Where's Astrid!"

"Oh! She's been...taken care of!" Savage said with an incredibly evil grin!

"What do you want, Savage?!"

"I want my leader back! Because really this leading thing is exhausting!"

"Dagur? He made his choice a long time ago! What does Astrid have to do with Dagur?"

"I suggest you just give me what I want and quit asking questions! Because the longer it takes you to get Dagur back to me, the longer your sweet little brunette will suffer!So scatter off! We'll see how long my patience will hold."

"Okay, first of all, she's a blonde! And second of all, Did you come up with this plan by yourself?!"

"That's none of your business! I would just do what I say and be off to get me what I want!"

"Can I just see her?! Please?!"

"Tick...tick...tick! Your little sweet angel's gonna hate to hear you're stalling!"

"No! I'll be back! Just don't hurt her!"

"That's up to you!" Savage looked Hiccup in the eye, and stared at him.

"Go on! Time's a wasting!"

"AAAAHHHHHHH! HICCUP!"

Hiccup looked up at the sound of the high pitched, female voice calling him! His heart stopped for a few seconds when he heard his love yell! It was the hardest pain he had felt since his dad was killed. And now Astrid...HIS ASTRID...her life was on line he had to act fast! He mounted Toothless and headed towards Berk. He had to have a plan! And fast!

Astrid was completely immobile! When they figured how strong and feisty she was, they bound her so tight she couldn't move a finger. She was also gagged because of her stunt earlier. She needed to get out. She was pretty sure she was leaking everywhere seeing as it had been HOURS since she had last changed.

'Oh boy. Hiccup where the heck are you?!' She thought. She heard footsteps coming so she tried to move to the back of the cell as best she could. It was useless though. The footsteps stopped right in front of her cell. She looked up and saw a very scared Savage.

"Boy! That boy is intimidating! I wasn't sure I would pull through! So! How's our little house guest?" He stared into her eyes and was expecting to see anger and adrenaline, but instead he saw fear, exhaustion, pain...wait...why pain? Had his men done something to her already? He searched around her and saw her sitting in a small pool of blood. He was aggravated! He left the cell leaving Astrid in confusion. He went to the top of ship to find his unlucky man!

Hiccup was full of anxiety, frustration and ever emotion he could think of. He one thing and one thing only on his mind. He had to get Astrid back! Even if it meant war! He showed absolutely no emotion. He was just so on edge he just didn't do it. Valka watched him and so did Fishlegs. Valka knew how he felt! Being away for so long not long after he was born, she could only imagine. Oh how she longed for happiness in the world! It was a desperate time for Hiccup. She just wished Stoick was there! She flew closer to him, reaching for his shoulder. Hiccup looked up at his mom, tearing up inside. "Hiccup, we'll get her back! We always do! What is it Savage wants?"

"He...he wants Dagur back!"

Valka widened her eyes. That just wasn't possible! Dagur had caused already so much pain on Berk, he needed to pay for that caused pain. They did need a plan.

"Hiccup, you can't let this bring you down! That's what Savage wants so you'll break! You can't let that happen! Listen to me!" Hiccup looked at her with hopeful eyes. "If it were you that had been kidnapped, do you think Astrid would be breaking down emotionally?" Hiccup shook his head. "Right! She would take charge in the rescue of you! So what do you think you should do?" Hiccup thought for a moment, then gave Toothless and order. They sped off towards Berk.

Savage came back to the cell with a pail full of water and some towels. He saw that Astrid had managed to get the gag off her, and he smiled.

"So, I see you can now speak, so this is what's going to happen!"

Astrid looked at him with worry and fear. "Ok" is all she said.

"I'm going to untie you. You're going to clean this mess up, then you're going to get to work!" Astrid was curious what he meant by "work", but she wasn't eager to find out! Savage walked into the cell, locking it back behind him. He went up behind her and untied the knots. As soon as she was free, Astrid scooted as quickly as she could to the corner of the cell, leaving a trail of blood. Savage put the towels and the bucket down. Then left the cell, locking it after him. She stared at him waiting for him to say something or to see what he was going to do next. We went away for a moment then came back with another bucket full of water. He motioned for her to come to the bars. When she did, he took the bucket and threw the contents onto her. She screamed and stood there shivering, for it was already cold enough down in the bottom of the ship. He started laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes.

"Now! Clean this cell up! I'll be back later, with clothes and your chores!"

And with that he left, leaving Astrid in tears, but not the same as Savages moments ago, but of fear, sadness, regret, and distress. She was in pure and utter pain. And not only physical, but mental and emotional. She picked up a towel and splashed water on the ground. She started sobbing, HARD! "Hiccup! Where the heck are you?!" She said in between the chokes. She missed him! She wanted to be home with him planning their wedding, not held captive by some weirdo who probably was going to kill her anyway. "Oh, Thor help me!" She pleaded. But this was just the beginning.
