Chapter 12

"No." States the old Mildew, stopping Savage's deadly swing, they couldn't kill Hiccup "If Alvin finds the boy dead it would be even worse than us freeing him."

Savage nods his head and lowers his arm "You're probably right."

"We should get out of here before the boy wakes up." Speaks Mildew, both watch the sleeping teen for any signs he's awakening before making their exit.

"You think he remembers what happened on that ship?" Questions Savage

"For Hiccup's sake I'd hope not." Answers Mildew, the two take a separate hallway heading for bed, unaware of the major mistake they'd just made.

Inside his cell, Hiccup was undoing his ropes, he'd been just about free when Savage and Mildew had shown up, he'd faked being asleep and listened as the two spoke, what they were talking about he didn't seem to get, sure he knew they hated him and granted them trying to kill him was no shock, but they seemed far too fearful to leaving him in Alvin's clutches.

"Whatever the reason they don't want me here, I'm all for leaving." Declares the now free heir, the boy rises to his feet and moves to pick the lock of his prison, however, Hiccup is quite shocked to find the door open, as if waiting for him to exit.

"I'll have to remember to thank those two the next time I see them."

Carefully Hiccup makes his way outside the prison, wary of any guards and Alvin as he made his escape, still unsure on where to hide out, he had to find a way off this island and get back to Berk before anyone realized he was gone.

Alvin awoke happily the next morning, for once everything was going his way, soon he'd have Berk, the Night Fury and maybe a bit more fun with innocent Hiccup, he'd purposely left out any details on what he'd done with the boy, those he was saving for Stoick, as it seems the young teen had forgotten due to that hit to his head.

"I'll make the lad remember, and we can inform Stoick together." States Alvin evily as he makes his way towards his waiting army, he'd set sail at noon, Hiccup would be kept close in case any leverage was needed

"Outcasts! Todays the day we will rule, for once the banished will be in charge and we get to call the shots!"

Many loud cheers were met in response to the chiefs speech "We will conquer Berk, take back our rightful homes and kill those who sent us into exile! No one will be spared, no Berkian shall live after this day!"

More loud cheers are heard, followed by thumping of many large weapons and axes being smacked together, their time of retribution has finally come.

"Prepare yourselves for we leave after we feast, the boy will be coming with us as a hostage, I want to see Stoick's face as I slit his boys throat!"

The loudest cheers vibrate the entire island as the preparations begin, Outcasts were lugging catapults onto many boats, axes and swords were being sharpened and war yells were being practiced

Alvin watched from his current perch, he'd win this war, Stoick would not let any harm befall his precious Hiccup and he had so many ideas on how to present the boy to his father

"I think it's time we visit the lad." Declares Alvin, the large man turning to see the berkian traitor and his loyal follower "Don't want to keep the poor boy waiting do we?"

The three slowly make their way towards the jails, turning down hallway after hallway until finally reaching the correct block

Imagine the man's fury and surprise when he spies the cell door wide open, ropes discarded in the dirt and rock "Find the boy! Get Hiccup back in this cell!" bellows the outcast chief as he runs to inform more guards of the escape.

Mildew remained staring in shock, he'd known Hiccup was smart, but how did the boy manage this? Looking around, he spotted indications in the dirt, Hiccup had been using stones found in the earth to cut at his ropes, but that didn't explain how he'd unlocked the door ... Unless he and Savage forgot to lock it.

Mildew took a deep breath, he had unwittingly signed his and Savage's death warrants. "This is just perfect."

So Hiccup has gotten away from Alvin, but will he stay safe? Read and find out same bat time, same bat channel! - I always wanted to say that ;) would love to hear from you all!
