AN: Thank you Anony mouse101 for the character Rocktooth, from her story 'An outcast among Outcasts'
I wake up to the swaying of a boat. My hands are tied behind my back. I look around; we are below the deck of a ship. Astrid, Hiccup, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut sit talking –well, whispering- in a circle; their hands tied like mine. I walk up to them.
Hiccup whispers, "We are on..."
I cut him of by whispering, "Alvin's boat on the way to Outcast island."
Hiccup says, "How did you know?"
Astrid says, "And how did you and Rose know about the Outcasts?"
Before I can say anything, a man with a mangy red-brown beard and mustache comes.
He says distastefully, "Glad you're all awake. Nice to see you again, Keta."
I say bitter, "It's nice to see you again, Alvin."
He says, "Rocktooth will be happy to see you again, after you left."
A man yells something to Alvin.
Alvin says, "I'll be back in a bit."
Alvin leaves the room.
Hiccup says, "What was that about?"
I say, "A few years ago, I went to Outcast island. There is a rare type of flower on the island; it could have made Rose able to fly. Alvin found an interest in my… power. He forced me to stay, and I was supposed to marry his son, Rocktooth. If I married Rocktooth, I would have to stay, and I could train dragons for Alvin. I got away; I had to get back to Rose. Then you freed the dragons, and you could do what Alvin needed me for."
Astrid says, "Is your power the dragon thing?"
I nod. Alvin re-enters the room.
He says, "I don't know why my spy hadn't mentioned you."
Hiccup says, "Spy? Who?"
Mildew walks into the room, and says, "Isn't it obvious."
I feel my heart sink; Mildew a spy for Alvin.
I say, "Mildew, why did you do this?"
He says, "What do you care?"
I can't believe I'm going to do this: I say, "What would your mother think?"
Everyone looks at me shocked, except Astrid.
Mildew says, "You promised you wouldn't say anything about that."
I say angry, "No, I promised a dragon, not a traitor."
Mildew flinches at the word dragon, but ignores it and walks away. Alvin leaves after Mildew. Tears roll down my face.
Tuffnut says, "I think you should explain."
I say, "Explain what?"
Astrid says, "Everything about you."
I whisper, "Everyone, I'm so sorry, I should have told you from the start. I am… well, a Nightfury. Not just any Nightfury; I was the Dragon Queen. I am really old, and I regret most of my life. I started the war, I abandoned my child and I got us into this mess."
Tuffnut cuts me off by saying, "You have a child?"
I nod, and whisper, "The father of the child left, because, really, what dragon wants to take care of a Viking?"
Hiccup whispers, "You and a dragon had a Viking child?"
I nod and whisper, "I brought him to Berk seventy-five years ago."
Hiccup whispers, "Mildew?"
I whisper, "Yes. I didn't know that if I left, this would happen. He was five when I left. He doesn't know," An idea strikes, "What if he did? He told me he still wants me to return. He might help, or at least me. Then I could get you guys out."
Astrid whispers, "One problem; he won't believe you. You know about his mom, and you are in danger."
I whisper, "Then I'll make him remember. He knows a song tune, I know the song. I will call him dragon, like I used to."
Snotlout whispers, "Will this work?"
Astrid whispers, "It's worth a try."
I whisper, "Rocktooth might help too. He hates me, and he likes this other girl. The only reason I got away last time is because he helped."
Snotlout whispers, "Why don't we leave now?"
I whisper, "They probably have our dragons, you realize that the dragons would have helped."
He says, "They have Hookfang?"
I say, "Probably, they might have them on a different ship."
I hear Alvin say to one of his men, "Bring them to the dungeons."
AN: I have finished the chapters and my friend has edited them, so I will post upon reviews. 1. What do you think? 2. What do you think of how the Outcasts know Keta? 3. Do you think Mildew will help? 4. Do you think Rocktooth will help?
