Chapter 9, enjoy ;)


"Owww... Oh man my head is killing me," Jack groaned as he was starting to wake up before realizing that he was on some sort of bed and Hiccup was no where in sight. "Hiccup?"

"So the amazing Jack Frost finally decides to wake up.." There came Hiccup holding a fishing rod and two baskets full of fish as the fire crackled next to Jack. "Hey what's with all that fish?"

Hiccup chuckled as he placed one of the baskets in front of Toothless. "Well it seems like you don't have much experience with dragons so unless you want a hungry, angry dragon, you have to feed them fish and I mean a basket full of them three times a day." Hiccup then took the second basket and took five fish out and began to cook them over the fire. "So those walls really squished the light out if you?"

"Yeah I guess... Hey, how can someone like you know so much about survival, for someone who's fifteen like me and I barely know how to fish or even take care of the unconscious ones."

Hiccup's smile went a bit down before he smiled again to his memories as he answered Jack. "My mother... She would always teach me survial back at Berk.."

"Okay Hiccup now remember that the key to survival is to use your brain, trust your guts and stay on your toes, never let your guard down." Valka explained as she stood in the woods with young Hiccup. "Now lets see you quickly make a fire. In this situation, your comrades are out cold with a fever and the sun is going down and the night could freeze them to death.. You have exactly thirty to light a fire... Staring.. Now!"

Hiccup didn't have to think twice before setting a quick flame up in less than twenty seconds. "I got it mommy!" "After all those practices, I finally can get a fire ready!" Hiccup hopped around, then made his serious face. "Now we can go to taking care of injuries right?" "Can we mommy, please." Valka laughed as she placed her hand on Hiccup's shoulder to stop his bouncing and he instantly did, and looked up at his mother with a smile.

"It's getting late son, why don't we go home so I'll bake you a cake for a job well done at making a fire. We'll work on taking care of injuries tomorrow, okay?"

"Aww, do I have to wait until tomorrow momma?" Hiccup frowned as he looked at his mother, hoping his adorable begging eyes can change her mind. Valka just laughed as she then added to the deal,

"I'll make you a cake with your help and tell you the story about the time Gobber and I found a troll when we were younger."

Hiccup's face brightened, he always loved his mother's stories and help her bake a cake so he began to rush her to the Haddock house as he began to jump around again. "Come on mommy, I want to help you and hear that story. Maybe I can use your methods to catch a troll myself after hearing your story, I knew trolls exist!"

"Yeah, our last lesson was finding food before she well... I normally don't want to talk about it, the others should be waking up right about... Now." Hiccup grinned to the memory and sure enough, Merida, Rapunzel, and Eugene were wide awake. Merida was the first to smell the fish.

"So Hiccup, you've been doing all this while we were out cold?"

"Never mind about that, did you just realize what just happened?" Rapunzel gasped as Eugene answered," Gothel, Rapunzel's kidnapper, is back with wtich powers and she took the guradians, leaving us here like sitting ducks."

"Oh yeah... That.." Hiccup sighed, he felt the mark on his back sting but he made sure no one else knew. If they see this mark, they won't stop fussing about it and they might lose trust in me. No, they can't know about it, yet.

They sat quietly in the circle for some time now until Jack broke the silence," Let's see what we know about Gothel, we need to know our enemy afterall." "So far we know that she has nightmare powers like Pitch, and that she has a dangerous knife."

"Very sharp, just to add in, she killed me once with that."

"Thank you Eugene, anything else?" Merida asked as she sharpened her arrows, she never got defeated by someone, especially by an old lady.

"The more you think about it, she did try to aviod the fire and Jack's glowing staff, basically anything that has light." "I wonder if that is her weakness?" Hiccup then took out his notebook and saw the quick sketch he drew of Gothel. "Yeah, she must really hate the light, judging by the black clothing and her tired out eyes."

"But what could Pitch want with North, Sandy, Tooth, and Bunny?" "He could strike the children in any world, but what a minute... I did hear Gothel say something after she left, something about spreading fear to the ones in... Berk!" Rapunzel gasped.

"Oh gods my home... We have to stop them..." Hiccup got up to set out before Jack grabbed ahold of him," Look I know Berk is your home, but we need a plan to get an idea what Pitch has in plan, and we'll find a way to destroy him, he won't hurt anyone at Berk, not as long as I'm here."

Hiccup then calmed down from his early rage and turned towards the fire. "Alright Jack... What's the plan?"


Way at the bottom of the ground, was a familiar dark lair with nightmare horses swarming around the place, guarding the trapped guardians who were stuck in a cage after a rough fall.

"North. I never thought I'd see the day that you would be here, trapped along with your other friends while Gothel helps take care of those brats." Then out from the shadows appeared Pitch who was grinning at the guardians as Bunny shot up and began demanding,

"WHAT ARE YOU AFTER PITCH!?"

"You should know, but I'll tell you anyway. I want to be believed in, but I'll have help from..."

"PITCH!" "I did what you asked me to!" Pitch turned around and found Gothel appearing with her knife, which had stains of blood which caused Tooth to panic. "You killed them!" Gothel laughed like crazy to that comment," No, I wish I could but instead I had to mark one of them, the one Pitch told me to mark, pretty easy since the others were busy looking for you pathetic goody goodies."

"So you did place the mark at the runt after all." pitch grinned, earning another shout from North. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?"

"Nothing much jolly old man, the mark placed on Hiccup will activate if he hits the top level of fear, gets hit with one of my dark arrows, or personality gets captured by me. Once activated, I'll fed on his worlds worse fears and with that, no one can stop me." "AHAHAHAHAHA!"

"He's mad." Whispered Bunny, as Tooth nodded but North quickly reassured them. "Come on don't worry, Pitch won't get anyone as long as they stick together.." "I hope..."


That's chapter 9, hope you enjoyed this, cause Pitch action will come next time. See ya ;)
