Pitch growled angrily as he walked around in his lair. He had been bested twice once by Hiccup and once by Jack in his dream world. He was supposed to be the ruler of bad dreams and nightmares and yet he had been beaten in his own world by two eternally teen aged boys. He cursed them. He hated those two. He had never expected for Jack to end up with a little boy toy from his past.
He sent out a nightmare with the instructions to find and invade the dreams of anyone giving off the same aura as Jack or Hiccup. After an hour or so a small black orb showed up in front of him. Inside it was a little girl with long blonde hair she was crying. She was standing at the edge of a lake and a small animal was drowning. She couldn't get it to it because she couldn't swim. He laughed with a sick joy and watching her cry.
He followed his nightmares trail and found the little girls home. He slipped in as silent as the shadows in which he made his home and slipped out again with her in his arms struggling and crying as she had woken up when he grabbed her. Soon he had her tied up and sat against the wall in one of the rooms in his lair. Her hair was falling in front of her eyes which were shinning green very similar to Hiccups.
Hiccup woke up with a very bad feeling and made his way toward the entrance. He sat outside until the lights showed up in the sky. Jack joined him and sat down on the rock next to him with a small sigh.
"What are you doing out here?" he asked placing a hand on his boyfriends.
"I just woke up with a bad feeling and I felt like I should come out here." He answered giving his boyfriends hand a squeeze.
Not long after that a whole appeared in the ground just in front of them and Bunny jumped out.
"Hey mates, we have a problem." The six foot tall rabbit said "A young girl has been snatched form a small town, it was Pitch."
Hiccup glared off into the sky, and swore to himself that he would get the little girl back home where she belonged.
"I hate that man!" Jack all but yelled as he stood up.
They three of them jumped back into the hole and it disappeared as they followed the tunnel that appeared and when they came to the end another hole opened up and they climbed out into the work shop at North's.
They made a plan and then started searching for Pitch's lair. Jack took Hiccup first to the one he had used the last time they fought but they found it empty and with no signs of anyone having been there any time in the last few months. They ended up back by the little village that the Vikings had founded and Hiccup heard some of the kids crying as people called out for a little girl, they kept calling out the name of Sarah.
They looked up at the people and he followed them. He saw a picture of the girl in one of the houses. She had long blonde hair and big green eyes that shinned. He saw in her a lot of Ruffnut and that meant this girl was related to him. Pitch was going after his family. They took off leaving the family to their own searching.
Hiccup let out his aura to find hers and followed it as it pulsed against his. He was sure he could feel it the strong pull of family. He found her aura pulsing in a cavern in the ground and flew as fast as Toothless could fly. They reached the cavern just as a loud scream filled the air.
Jack landed quicker than Hiccup could jump off Toothless back and ran straight into the caverns entrance. Hiccup followed behind a moment later after telling Toothless to get a message to the other guardians about where they were.
They came out of the tunnel into a large underground cavern and saw Pitch standing in front of the girl Sarah. She was crying and her arm looked like it was broken.
"Why would you take this young girl? What could she possibly do to you?" he asked as he ran toward her.
"Oh it's not about what she can do to me, Hiccup Haddock. It's about what she means to you." Pitch said eyeing the younger boy. "You were never supposed to be reawakened. It wasn't foretold."
"Oh I get it. You're pissed because the man in the moon brought me back and you think it is unfair. Well you know what you need to get over it. I am not going to let you hurt anyone just because you are mad about how I was made." Hiccup yelled.
Pitch laughed one of his evil laughs and walked closer to them, his dark eyes looked like black holes. "I can do whatever I please in the dark places and times little Hiccup. For I am the king of the dark." He threw his arms out as if to make his point and nightmares ran around them in a stampede.
Hiccup held Sarah close, Jack ran to them and placed his arms around them, the air temperature dropped and spiked in varying intervals as they tried to keep Pitch at bay. Then Bunny hopped up out of one of his little tunnels followed by Tooth and Sandy.
In the next five minutes Hiccup had a hard time seeing anything as there was a miniature sand storm going on. Bunny seemed to be fighting each of the nightmares one by one as was Tooth. North showed up last. The battle was a long one and at the end Hiccup and Jack carried Sarah out of the cavern through one of Bunny's tunnels. She had passed out half way through. Pitch had disappeared into the shadows around them not long after North showed up leaving the Nightmares to fight.
"Can you make a tunnel to the little village?" Hiccup asked
Bunny nodded and did as he was asked. They returned Sarah to her home town and placed her on the porch of her house. A minute later they were rewarded by the smile on her mothers' face when she opened the door and found her missing daughter asleep on the porch.
They all went back to their own homes soon after. Hiccup and Jack began to brainstorm on ways to weaken Pitch enough that he wouldn't be a problem so often. In the end they knew it wouldn't matter because you can't have light without dark and therefore you must have shadow. Pitch may have taken his job to the extreme but it was a fact that most people need to be scared at some point in their lives, but not to the point of never trusting themselves again.
They took a flight after talking and Toothless took them to Berk again. They played around in the woods for a while trying to calm down after the fight and everything with Pitch. They fell into the snow a couple of times and the last time Jack pulled Hiccup down on top of him and kissed him. Hiccup grinned into the kiss and sighed slightly giving his boyfriend the chance to sneak his tongue in. They deepened the kiss as they also began to move their hands up and down each other's bodies.
Jack caressed Hiccup through his pants and felt the boy shudder above him. The scent of lust was in the air and Jack didn't want to go too far to fast so he stopped and looked up at the boy who he had known as children, how could this be that same boy?
"What's wrong?" Hiccup managed to get out as he caught his breath and calmed down some.
"Nothing, I just don't want to go to fast." He answered honestly. "It doesn't seem like you can be the same kid I knew all those years ago either."
"I'm not the same." Hiccup said sitting partially up so that his legs were on either side of Jack. "I fought in a war, I made friends with Toothless the very first Dragon tamer that was me, at least in the history of our village. I lost my foot and had a fake one at the time of my death. I can't believe I can say that with a straight face either." He sighed slightly. "But you know you're not exactly the same either, probably because of all the years you didn't have your memories."
Jack propped himself up on his elbows and looked straight into Hiccups green eyes that now looked like autumn leaves instead of their original emerald. "I guess your right about that, but it's this you that I have fallen in love with."
Hiccup reached out and traced Jacks face with one hand. "Same here." He leaned forward capturing the blue eyed boys' mouth in a kiss.
