Kay. Here we go. This chapter was thought of by crazyfoxqueen. She also helped write it. Thanks Kit! So, if you hate it, don't just blame me...oops. Shouldn't have said that.
Kit: *picks up knife and walks over.*
Kat: Oh no. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Kit: Say that again. I dare you.
Kat: Let me finish!
Kit: Ugh. Fine. What?
As I was trying to say before, And if you love it, thank her. Kit thought of most of the chapter.
Kit: *puts knife away*
Kat: Oh, thank Thor.
Kit: You see. This is why we're best friends.
Kat: Yes. Yes it is.
Well anyway, here are the responses. There are so many new people reviewing :D
Review Responses:
crazyfoxqueen: Ha-ha. Very funny Kit. By the way, it hurt when you grabbed my ear and lectured me about not pairing Elsa and Tuff—but I'm not complaining…heh. You have put your sombrero away…right…?
eltigre221: Thank you. Yes, he did "attack" Hams a little, but everything comes with a consequence whether it's good or bad. Valka will be getting a letter from Hiccup to ensure his plan go smoothly, plus at least she know that he's not dead. Thank you for saying this gets better and better. It's nice to know that my story isn't a complete failure. And to answer your question, no. No one has noticed Hiccup's foot. They're too busy worrying about themselves. But from now, people will begin to realise that even the great Hiccup Haddock has battle scars. *Breaks into song. "These battle scars!"*
Guest (March 8): Thank you!
Dragonchick101: Really!? THANK YOU! I love making people laugh. It's nice to know that you are enjoying my story to the point that you are laughing at it. (In a good way). I hope this and later chapters make you laugh as well. :D
Naruhina Inukag fan: Thank you, and I will definitely consider putting your suggestion into my story. It makes a lot of sense and it would be equally hilarious. Plus it gives me another excuse to bring the twins back to Arendelle. The Duke of Weasel-town needs to be taught a lesson.
Guest (Shadow): Thank you! Hmm… with your suggestion, I'll have it mentioned definitely. For obvious reasons, I can't literally bring a skrill to Arendelle, but I have an idea where I can mention it. Thanks for the idea!
Guest (Chapter 1) (Shadow): Yes, I agree. The user who suggested the fright of passage in Arendelle is amazing! And thank you, Shadow, for mentioning the skrill. It's a great idea as well. :D
SiverKnightja101: Thanks! *Answer in PM* I already have sorted out the fight sequence but your ideas are great. ;D
CoolWizard22: I'm sorry. :D I have chosen that chapter 13 is the sad one. You have been warned. And I agree, it is interesting why Hiccup had sent for Valka… Also, the answer to the "What does Astrid need with Elsa's powers" question is in this chapter. I hope it was what you had hoped, but if it isn't I'm interested to know what you thought it was. :P Trust me, the sad thing will be quite sad. I'm crying just thinking about it. But just remember when I said, I won't kill any characters (except maybe Hams). And also, just adding to that, if you kill me, I won't be able to finish the story and the sad thing can't be happy, because I'm dead. (x—x)
NightFuryNinja1999: Aww! Thank you friend! And OF COURSE Cloudjumper will appear on the horizon like a boss! I won't answer that question. It'll spoil everything. But the answer will be in my next chapter. Of course there will still be a fight, especially after out PM conversation. And yes! The one-sided Hiccstrid isn't as great but it's still so adorable! Yes. I know Hiccstrid is your fave topic. I'm pretty sure that if we did a Hiccstrid check, it'd be in every bubble in the PM. *Balloons* HICCSTRID OVERLOAD! I must agree with you, Hiccup is a genius! But you're right. Hiccup probably was secretly proud of himself, but keep in mind, he was trying to scare them not kill them. :D
Enjoy!
This is only a filler, so nothing too major happens.
Cloudjumper Kat
"Wake up." Hiccup whispered to Anna.
"Five more minutes." She groaned.
Hiccup sighed. The sun was just rising now. Hams should be leaving now, he hoped. He and Kristoff had been awake for a few minutes, but Anna was persistent. She wouldn't get up!
Kristoff walked over and rolled Anna over, with his foot. She rolled over, getting snow in her mouth. Anna groaned again. .
"Close the window. It's cold in here." She moaned.
Kristoff rolled his eyes and walked over to Sven to make sure they had everything they needed. Toothless came bounding over to Hiccup, his face wet.
He spat out a fish, on the floor in front of him.
Hiccup stared at the fish then at Toothless. He sighed.
"Uh… Thanks bud. I was wondering what I was going to eat."
He picked up the fish, looked at it and sighed. There was no point lighting a fire to cook it, they were leaving when Anna died of frostbite. Toothless gave the fish to him as a gift. If he had learned anything, he needed to show Toothless his appreciation.
Kristoff looked over to Hiccup, about to ask him to wake up Anna, when he saw him holding a raw fish. He looked closer. The raw fish had a bite mark! He gagged.
Hiccup turned to Kristoff, trying to keep the fish down. He held the fish out to him.
"Try some." He said, his mouth full of fish. "It's wonderfully nutritious."
"No thanks. I'm good…" Kristoff answered.
Toothless snorted and stood up on his hind legs.
Hiccup smiled and quickly tossed the rest of the fish away. He knew what was going to happen.
Toothless waddled away on his two hind legs, while Hiccup shook his head, smiling.
Kristoff noticed Hiccup's smile.
"What is he doing…?" he asked warily.
"He's going to get you another fish, you know." Hiccup said deadpanned, but still smirking.
"Oh. Of course he is."
Toothless bounded back over to Kristoff, his cheeks unnaturally bulged. He spat out a slimy, grey fish. Kristoff looked at the fish, then at Toothless, then Hiccup. He sighed and picked up the fish by the tail, horrified.
"You should probably eat that." Hiccup warned him.
"Yeah." Kristoff told him, "No thanks."
He tossed the fish to the side, landing on the peacefully sleeping, Anna.
She woke up with a start. "I-I'm awake!"
Toothless growled, threateningly, at Kristoff.
Anna opened her eyes completely to see a fish sitting neatly on her lap. She screamed and threw it at Kristoff.
It hit his chest, with a squishy slap.
Toothless stopped growling and sat down, his eyes completely dilated.
"Don't give me that look." Kristoff begged, weakly.
Beside a shocked Anna, Hiccup was trying his hardest to control his laughter.
"What does Toothless want Kristoff to do?" Anna asked, wiping her hands in the snow.
"You'll see." He giggled.
Kristoff picked up the fish and let out a long, final sigh before bringing the fish to his mouth.
"No." Anna silently gasped.
Kristoff faked a bite and quickly hid the fish behind his back. He puffed out his cheeks and gave Toothless a thumbs up.
Toothless gave Kristoff the 'do I look like an idiot' look and made a swallowing gesture.
Kristoff glared at Hiccup.
"Don't look at me!" Hiccup told him, putting his hands up in defence. "I didn't teach him that. I've had to do this many times before."
"How?!" Anna and Kristoff asked in unison.
"Easy. I just imagine how much better it is than Astrid's Yak-nog."
"What-nog?" Anna asked.
"Don't ask…" Hiccup said, flatly, "Please!"
Toothless, bored of all this chatter, growled at Kristoff again. Kristoff glared at Toothless and took a small bite of the fish. He quickly swallowed the piece of fish and coughed afterwards.
"Happy place, happy place, happy place." Kristoff whispered to himself.
Toothless warbled and Kristoff opened his mouth to show him that the fish had been reluctantly swallowed. He crooned and looked at Anna.
Hiccup looked down at Anna, who was still sitting, gobsmacked.
"You're next."
Anna looked at Hiccup, terrified. She jumped up and ran over to Sven.
"I'm ready. Let's go!"
Hiccup laughed and shook his head.
"Come on, bud." He called.
Toothless ran over and crooned. He wanted to know if Hiccup liked his breakfast.
Hiccup scratched Toothless' head.
"Thank you bud. But don't make that a habit."
Toothless snorted.
"Okay. Come on guys. Let's go!"
Anna, Kristoff and Olaf jumped on Sven.
"Why are we going so early?" Anna yawned.
Hiccup didn't answer, but instead took to the sky.
"Fine. Be that way." She pouted.
"I have to check on something. You guys know where to go. I'll meet you on the way." Hiccup called from the sky.
Kristoff shrugged and asked Sven to go. They were soon out of sight, hidden by all the trees.
Hiccup turned Toothless towards Hams' camp. They were there within a few minutes, knowing where to go already. They were shocked to realise, no one was there.
"Where are they?" Hiccup whispered to Toothless.
Toothless kept to the sky in fear of an ambush. They circled the camp, ensuring there was no danger.
"Okay Toothless. I think it's safe." Hiccup muttered, his voice quavering a little, in fear for he and his best friend's safety.
They landed. Hiccup jumped of Toothless onto the empty field. The only thing there was the burn mark on the grass beneath the non-existent layer of snow. Next to it was a few ginger-auburn coloured hairs mixed with some slightly scorched ones.
"Where are they?" Hiccup asked again.
Suddenly a twig cracked behind them. Hiccup and Toothless jumped and turned around abruptly. They heard someone muttering and another voice whispering. Toothless growled and sprang forward. He ran towards the source of sound.
Hiccup followed Toothless carefully.
Toothless jumped through the trees around the snowy field, and a shout was heard. Hiccup ran and slipped on the snow.
"Stupid leg." He muttered.
"Hiccup!" he heard someone shout. "Help!"
Hiccup stood up, brushing the snow off his suit. Toothless roared.
He ran towards Toothless, dodging all the trees. When he got there he noticed Kristoff on the floor underneath Toothless' claws. Anna was trying to stand up and Olaf was helping her. Sven was trying to eat Olaf's nose.
"Guys!" He scolded, annoyed. "What are you doing? We could have killed you!"
"Anna's fault." Kristoff quickly said.
"Hey!" Anna shouted as she stood up and brushed herself off.
Toothless let Kristoff from his grip and walked over to Sven and Olaf. Kristoff walked over to his friends.
"Why'd you follow me?" Hiccup asked calmly.
"We—"Anna started. Kristoff glared at her. She sighed.
"—I wanted to know what you were doing and why you woke us up to get to Elsa's castle so early." She told him, her head down.
Hiccup sighed. "Last night, I heard Hams telling everyone about his plan."
"His marriage plan?!" Anna squeaked.
"No. His plan to take Elsa as prisoner." Hiccup mumbled.
Anna gasped. She shook her head and walked away.
"Anna—"Kristoff said before being tapped on his shoulder. He turned to see Hiccup shaking his head.
Anna came back to them, her eyes filled with tears and disbelief. "You're lying." She spat.
"Anna I would never lie to you or Kristoff."
"NO!" she shouted. "You're lying. You are lying! Hans would never do that."
She pushed Hiccup and he stumbled back, trying to keep his balance on the icy floor.
The anger ceased and Anna buried her face into Kristoff's shoulder, sobbing. Hiccup walked over and tried to comfort her. He put his hand on her back but she turned around and grabbed his arm. She let go of it and did something she later regretted.
She kicked Hiccup's leg. The metal one.
He fell to the ground, unable to keep his balance. He made sure that the prosthetic leg had not been knocked out of place. That would be uncomfortable!
Anna saw what she had done and was instantly by his side, apologising.
"That's right." Hiccup mumbled, sarcastically. "Just kick the guy with the metal leg."
Anna looked at his prosthetic leg.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know you only had one leg." She apologised.
"You were too caught up in your own problems, you didn't notice." He told her, trying to get up. "Help me up."
Kristoff pulled Hiccup up and then did the same to Anna.
"We need to get to Elsa's castle. Now." Hiccup told them. "Hams could be there any time soon."
"How do you know?" Kristoff asked.
"Last night, I heard him say something like, "We leave dawn." But I didn't hear all of it because of all the men shouting." Hiccup told them.
He called for Toothless and mounted. Anna and Kristoff did the same. Anna picked up Olaf, making sure she remembered all of him this time.
They left, in hope that they would catch up to Hams soon.
"There it is!" Hans shouted.
He pointed to the castle on top of the mountain.
"Soon, we will put an end to this cold summer!" he shouted, rallying the soldiers. "We will bring back the warm winter! Wait. No…"
The men stared at him, their eyebrows raised.
"Cold winter. Warm summer." He muttered to himself counting his fingers. He couldn't think straight after last night.
He looked back at everyone.
"Soon we will put an end to this cold winter and bring back summer!" he shouted.
They all cheered.
"Hans! Hans! Hans!"
"Down with the evil queen!" one of the Duke's thugs shouted.
Everyone cheered again.
"Down with the evil queen!" they answered back.
Hans punched his arm into the air and the group behind him charged up the mountain. He followed them glancing at the sunlit sky, welcoming daylight. He wasn't completely on schedule but sometimes changes must be made to perfect plans. Because of the…disturbance… last night, it took them longer to leave.
Hans looked back up at Elsa's castle, shining in the early morning sunlight.
"Soon, I will put an end to this winter and no one can stop me." He whispered under his breath as he motioned for his horse to break into a canter.
Anna looked up at Hiccup. She didn't know what to believe anymore. She could have hurt Hiccup, all because she threw a tantrum, when told that her fiancé was trying to…kill Elsa. She could have injured Hiccup badly, because he was just trying to tell her the truth. Was it the truth?
Anna sighed. She was just in the way of everything, she thought gloomily.
Kristoff heard Anna sigh.
"Hey, you alright?"
"What?" she asked. "Oh yeah…I'm fine."
Kristoff shrugged. He wasn't great with people. He'd probably just make everything worse. They had been woken up, by Hiccup, before dawn. She was probably just tired.
Hiccup looked down to his friends riding the reindeer.
"Hey. I think I see it up ahead. We're nearly there!" he called.
"Come on buddy! Just a little faster!" he told Sven.
Sven ran a little faster, nearly matching Toothless' pace.
Hiccup adjusted Toothless' prosthetic tail fin and laid down, into his racing position. As soon as he had adjusted everything he patted Toothless' head and they dived.
They dodged the trees and caught up with the cantering Sven.
Anna gave a small wave to Hiccup when he appeared next to her.
"Hi?"
He waved back, slightly.
Kristoff turned around and smirked.
"I'll race you to the North Mountain!" he challenged.
Hiccup motioned for Toothless to slow down so he could talk without getting snow in his mouth.
"It's on."
"Go Sven!" Kristoff yelled. "See you when we get there!"
Sven burst into a longer gallop. Kristoff was yelling and whooping and Anna was trying to keep both herself and Olaf on.
Hiccup chuckled and pulled Toothless' head back a little, gesturing that he wanted to go back above the trees. He sat up so he could control the tail.
They flew up and scanned the area.
"There he is bud." Hiccup said, pointing to an object moving quickly through the forest. "Let's show him what we can do!"
Toothless warbled. Hiccup grabbed his helmet from behind him and put it on. He laid back down and patted Toothless head.
"Come on buddy!"
Toothless burst forwards, quickly making up for time lost.
Kristoff smiled. He hadn't even seen Hiccup or Toothless. They were going to win!
"Come on Sven! You can do it!" he shouted.
Sven crooned and somehow ran a little faster.
He leaned forwards to make himself more streamline. He cheered and hollered.
"Yeah!" Anna shouted. "I like fast!"
Suddenly, an ear-splitting shriek came from the sky. A black figure burst past them. On top of that black creature was a rider screaming out, "Yeah baby!"
"What?! How?" Kristoff shouted.
Hiccup and Toothless dived back into the trees and landed at the base of the mountain. Sven slowed to a trot and went over to Hiccup.
Kristoff held out his hand and Hiccup returned the gesture. They shook hands.
"Well done." Hiccup politely told Kristoff.
"Thanks."
Kristoff pulled a carrot from the sack. He waved it in front of Sven's nose.
"Who's a good boy?" he asked.
"I am! I am!" he said in his Sven voice as Sven bounced around.
He gave the carrot to Sven and he swallowed it whole.
Kristoff crossed his arms. "Share."
Sven spat out the carrot and Kristoff broke the end off and bit it.
Hiccup nearly threw up.
"How can you do that?" he asked, disgusted.
"How can you eat slimy, raw fish?" he answered.
Anna started to walk up the mountain again. This was where they met Olaf. All she had to do was go this way—no this way.
"Guys! A little help." She grumbled.
Kristoff chuckled at Anna. "You're lost again, aren't you?"
She didn't answer.
Kristoff shook his head.
Olaf pointed straight ahead. "This way."
Hiccup dismounted Toothless and the two walked behind the group following the snowman again.
"Whoa!" Elsa gasped "Watch where you throw that thing. It might only be ice, but it could still hurt someone when thrown at that speed."
Astrid jogged over to the small ice trees to pick out her new axe from one.
"Sorry Elsa, I'm just excited." She smiled.
"Do you like it?" Elsa asked, "Will it do?"
"Are you kidding me?" Astrid asked, "It's perfect."
She pulled Elsa into a hug. This was something she didn't do often, but Elsa deserved a hug.
She handed the axe to Elsa. "Try."
Elsa looked at the double-bladed, ice axe and smirked. "Okay."
She threw it and it landed in the middle of one of the ice trees.
Astrid clapped.
Elsa bowed and walked over to retrieve the axe. Once she grabbed it, she gave it back to Astrid.
"Show me how the experts throw axes." She told Astrid.
Astrid accepted the challenge and positioned herself. She threw it and it planted itself neatly into the tree. She ran forwards and took the axe out. She turned around and did a forwards roll, landing on her feet with the axe ready to throw again.
Elsa cheered. "Let me try again."
Astrid handed over the axe. Elsa took it and positioned herself.
She threw it and it fell short of the trees.
Elsa laughed. She turned back around and faced Astrid. She bowed again.
Astrid started laughing. She jogged over and picked up the axe.
"Maybe you should stick to ice magic and I'll throw the weapons." She giggled.
Stormfly chose that moment to come over. She could look at herself any other time.
Elsa scratched Stormfly's head.
Suddenly, the sound of a horse whinny rang through the castle.
Astrid and Elsa gasped.
Elsa ran down the stairs and heard men shouting, she couldn't hear what though. Astrid jumped on Stormfly and they flew down, skipping the stairs.
Stormfly growled.
"Quiet, girl." Astrid begged.
Once they reached the bottom floor, they silently walked across the room towards the door. As they got closer, the shouting became louder and more understandable.
They hid behind the door and listened. The men were screaming one thing over and over again…
"Down with the evil queen."
Yay. Cliff-hanger.
Next chapter: What is in the letter that Hiccup sent his mum? Why is it so important that they had to turn around? How is Berk coping?
Stop asking questions so I can write the chapter. :D
