The long, dead tone on Jamie's cellphone was the only thing that sounded in his room. Jamie's face was ghost-white and was gripping onto his cellphone tightly. With a shaky voice, he whispered, "I-I have to go…"

"Go?" Hiccup repeated with a raised eyebrow. "But your friend told you not to."

"Plus whatever that roar belonged to, it sounded dangerous." Rapunzel added.

Merida walked over to Jamie and bent over to get eyelevel with him. "Jamie, we'll go to your friend's house to see if she's alright, okay?"

Jamie sniffed, "You will?"

Jack hesitated for a second then made a curt nod. "Course we will."

"We are?" Rapunzel asked behind clenched teeth. Jack gave her assuring yet serious look. "I mean…yes we are!"

"Where does she live?" Hiccup asked Jamie.

"Katelynn's house is about ten blocks away from here, on West Salem."

"Uh…"

Jack smirked at Hiccup and shook his head. He grabbed Hiccup by his vest and dragged the young Viking behind him. "I know how to get there and I know what her house looks like so I'll show them the way. We'll be back later, Jamie." Over his shoulder, he warned Jamie, "Stay indoors, keep the window shut and locked and the same with the doors. Whatever you do, no matter what urge you get, you have to stay here, got it?" Jamie nodded. "I mean it, Jamie. It's too dangerous to go outside."

"I know." Jamie assured Jack quietly. "Just be careful, okay guys?"

"We will!" Rapunzel chirped. She and Merida followed Jack and Hiccup out of Jamie's room and outside carefully.

Jack looked over one of the wall fixtures to see where Jamie's mom and Sophie were at. Jamie's mom was on the couch, facing away from them and watching the news while Sophie was coloring on the floor, also facing away from the Four. Jack signaled the Four to be quite and motioned them to quickly get to the backdoor. Hiccup, Merida, and Rapunzel went around Jack and tiptoed to the backdoor. They all froze when a loud squeak sounded under Hiccup's feet. Barks quickly followed then the patterning of paws on the hardwood floors rushed towards them. Jamie's dog, Abby, skidded around the corner and went towards the Four. She barked louder and growled when she saw them.

"That's not good…" Merida said quietly.

"Go, go, go!" Jack whispered, gesturing them to move faster. The Four ran to the door, not bothering to be quiet anymore. Hiccup grabbed the backdoor's handle and opened it; he rushed outside and stepped to the side, letting the others get out of the house. Rapunzel ran out and spun around to pull her seventy-foot long hair out of the house. Merida jumped over Rapunzel's hair and grabbed two fights full and started to pull also. Jack flew out of the door and with his wind, he gusted the rest of the gold locks outside. Hiccup shut the door with a small bang. Just as soon Hiccup closed the door, a dull thud sounded from the other side then some shouting. The Four glanced at each other then at Rapunzel.

Jack told Rapunzel, sarcasm somewhat edging his voice, "Okay, now we need figure out what do that hair of yours, Goldie-Locks."

"I know…" Rapunzel stated. Jack snorted and shook his head at her failing to notice he was…somewhat kidding.

Toothless made a small happy roar when saw the Four approach him. Hiccup scratched under his dragon's neck as he apologized, "Sorry that you had to stay out in the cold, bud." Toothless nudged his arm, accepting the apology. Hiccup went around his dragon and sat on the saddle. He looked up to Merida, "You coming?"

Merida thought for a second then nodded. "Just…tell him not to go as fast as he was going earlier."

Hiccup made a nervous laugh, "Yeah, I'll admit that was too fast of a flight for a first-timer…"

"First on what? Riding a dragon or flying?" Jack joked.

Merida made a false laugh as she mounted onto Toothless, "Ha-ha, very funny, Jack…I'd like to see you try this."

"I can fly so I honestly don't need to." Jack said with a smirk. Merida playfully rolled her eyes. Jack grabbed Rapunzel and said to Hiccup, "All right, follow me!" He shot up to the sky. Over the winds he hollered, "It won't be a long trip, I promise you that!" Hiccup clicked his pedal up, Toothless shot up after Jack.


They landed in front of a two story house that was all by itself, no house for a couple of blocks.. "This is it." Jack walked up to the door and knocked on it. No response, Jack turned the nob, the door creaked open. Merida pulled her bow and set an arrow, ready for an attack. Rapunzel had her frying pan held defensively and had an iron grip on it. Jack slightly raised his staff and motioned the rest of the Four to follow him, they did. Jack led the group into the house.

"I can't see a thing!" Rapunzel whispered. She suddenly yelped, then a dull thud followed.

Hiccup helped Rapunzel up, "Be careful!"

"Sorry, I slipped in something…"

Jack flipped on a lamp. The Four silently gasped. The house was completely destroyed. Shattered glass and vases cluttered the floor, the furniture was ripped open. Deep scratches were gashed into the walls, making the support beams show. Drywall was completely stripped in some places; the flat-screen TV was on the floor. The lamp that Jack turned on flickered every so often. "Katelynn?" Jack called into the house. He stepped forward, he froze when his foot landed in a sticky, cold substance. He slowly looked down and his eyes widened in terror. Blood. Jack spun Rapunzel around to examine the back of her dress and said to Rapunzel, "You slipped in blood…"

"Blood?!" Rapunzel repeated.

Hiccup noticed in the corner of his eye that out of the blood puddle was a trail. With his eyes, he followed it to the staircase. Hiccup ran up the stair case. "Katelynn!" He yelled.

"Hiccup, come back!" Merida climbed up the stairs after him.

Jack and Rapunzel rushed up the stairs after them. As they climbed, they noticed that the railing was swinging loosely and the carpet was torn in many places. The Four finally got to the second floor and eyed at the blood trail.

Hiccup picked up a very bloody battle axe near a shattered glass case and solemnly looked at the blood smears on the wall. "It looks like she put up a fight."

"But who's blood is that though?" Merida wondered. "It could be anyone's."

Jack continued to follow the blood trail to a bedroom, its door was knocked down to the floor and some of the door was missing. He raised an eyebrow when the blood trail suddenly stopped. Rapunzel came in behind him and looked around the room. She noted that the curtains were shredded, letting the full moon pour in its light. As she turned she saw something black under a piece of torn cloth near the end of the blood trail. Rapunzel lifted up the cloth and Black Sand poofed in her face, where the cloth was was a cellphone. Jack picked up the phone and turned it on, it glitched green and the screen was distorted under its violently cracked screen. On the screen was a picture of Jamie and a call time. "This is Katelynn's phone." He turned his head when he heard footsteps behind him to see Merida and Hiccup. "Any sign of Katelynn?"

Merida shook her head 'no'. "There's no sign of her anywhere."

Hiccup eyes darted at movement in the shadows near Jack and Rapunzel. "Uh, guys?" He pointed at the movement. "We're not alone in here…"

Jack raised an eyebrow then he heard a low growl. He slowly turned around and his face turned into pure terror. A giant bear with one dead eye.

"Mor'du!" Merida yelled. She drew an arrow and shot it. Mor'du roared in rage when the arrow hit him on the nose. "Jack! Rapunzel! Run!"

Jack grabbed Rapunzel by her arm and ran to the doorway. Merida and Hiccup stepped to the side and let them pass. They ran down the stairs. Hiccup started down the steps then noticed that Merida wasn't following. He ran back up and yelled at Merida, "Merida, come on!"

Merida shouted back, "Hiccup, go! I'll be right behind you!"

Hiccup hesitated then nodded slowly. He bolted down the stairs.

Merida glanced at the stairs then at Mor'du as he slowly advanced towards her. She drew another arrow. "Get back!" she growled. Merida made her way to the shattered glass case and took a deep breath. She shot her arrow. Mor'du growled loudly and got on his hind legs. Merida grabbed a sword in the shattered case and bolted for the stairs. Mor'du lunged at her. Merida put the sword in her mouth and shot an arrow. She jumped off of the staircase when Mor'du aimed a deadly blow at Merida. Merida landed on the hardwood floor with a dull thud. A little dazed, she shot another arrow as she got up to her feet. She ran to the door backwards, keeping her eyes on Mor'du. He was running straight towards her. Merida took the sword out of her mouth and threw it at the demon bear. Mor'du hollowed when the sword sliced off his ear. Merida bolted outside and ran straight into Hiccup. Rapunzel slammed the door shut and Jack shot ice at the door, freezing it shut. The door shook and a loud thud was heard on the other side. The bangs kept going for quite some time and suddenly stopped.

Merida slowly her way to the window to peek inside, her eyes widened. "Mor'du…he's…gone."

Jack looked up and saw the Northern Lights start to spread out in the starry night. "Time to go."

"What about Katelynn?" Rapunzel asked.

"And Jamie?" Hiccup added.

"North just hailed a meeting. We have to go the North Pole right now." The three teens looked at Jack then nodded. Hiccup and Merida got on Toothless and shot up to the sky. Jack and Rapunzel quickly followed and took the lead. They flew to the North Pole.
