Chapter 13 Escape
Dagur was staring at him, he was staring back. He had made it clear that he wasn't going to leave without Hiccup, that he needed to look at the wound in better light and also that Hiccup could help him train the dragons. Dagur frowned. Then suddenly, he backed away and grabbed his axe.
'Fine. Take him. But you carry him.'
He spat out the words like they were poison, but Wrenlou smiled.
He watched Dagur stomp away with angry steps, leaving the guards and turned to Hiccup.
'Hey, Hiccup, wake up, come on.'
'Hmm wha?'
'Can you get up? I need you to get up.'
Hiccup rubbed his eyes. He was still running a high fever, but at least the poison's effect was wearing off. 'Why?'
'We're getting out. We're escaping. But I need you to get up.' Wrenlou whispered, careful so the guards wouldn't hear him.
After hearing this, Hiccup pushed himself up, wincing in the process. Wrenlou helped him to his feet and wrapped a blanket around his shoulders.
'I hate Dagur seeing me like this.' Hiccup mumbled.
'I know and I'm sorry that he has to. But remember, we will get out. I have a plan and it will work.'
They made it to the arena, Hiccup trying his best not to scream with every step he took. Dagur was pacing around again. The dragons were still in their cages. Wrenlou let Hiccup sit against the wall, the blanket wrapped around his shoulders. Carefully, he checked the wound. In the bright sunlight it looked better than he thought, but worse than he had hoped. Hiccup looked at Wrenlou with worry as he bandaged the wound again and stood up.
'What are you planning?'
'Trust me. It's going to be okay.'
Hiccup nodded. He was exhausted from the little trip from the cells to the arena. The poison and the fever had drained almost all his energy. He watched as Wrenlou walked towards Dagur. Dagur then signaled to his men and the dragons were released. Three dragons, a Nadder, a Monstrous Nightmare and the Changewing from the first day. They swarmed Wrenlou, all demanding attention at the same. Hiccup smiled weakly, before drifting off to sleep.
A nudge to his shoulder woke him. The arena was filled with smoke and he heard Dagur shouting. Wrenlou pulled him up and he nearly screamed again. The Nightmare approached them. Wrenlou helped Hiccup on the dragons back.
'Whatever happens, don't let go, okay?'
Hiccup nodded, grabbing the dragons horns tighter. Wrenlou ran back to Liberty. The Changewing had, together with Spiketail's spikes and fire, broken down on of the doors. Wrenlou gave the dragons the fly command, and they bolted out the door and into the air. He looked at Hiccup and Firewing.
'Go to the far side of the island. I'll meet you there.'
Hiccup nodded weakly and steered the Nightmare in the opposite direction as Wrenlou and Liberty. Spiketail went with Hiccup while Wrenlou went to get the Night Fury's.
As soon as he landed the dragons went crazy. They yanked the chains holding them down, trying to break them. As he had hoped the Changewings acid quickly melted the lock from the door. It also freed the dragons and Snowflake jumped him. She pushed him to the ground, her front paws on his chest, licking him all over.
'Snowflake... come on girl... oh come on get off me. We have to get out of here... Snow... please get of me now.'
She finally got of him, stepping back. Toothless came up to him, crooning softly.
'It's okay Toothless. Hiccup is waiting for you.'
The dragon perked up at hearing his riders name. Wrenlou jumped on his back and clicked the tail open. Toothless shot out of the cave, followed by Snowflake and Liberty.
They landed on the beach, not too far from the other two dragons. Hiccup was still on Firewing's back and Toothless stormed off towards him. He was understandably very worried. The Nightmare lowered to the ground to allow Wrenlou to take Hiccup off his back and onto Toothless. The Night Fury crooned at his rider, bending his head as far back as he could. Wrenlou made a move to et Behind Hiccup, seeing he could impossibly control the tail on his own, when he heard shouting from behind him. He turned around.
'Oh gods, this is not good. Not good at all.'
