Disclaimer: I only own Smoke

They made it towards the ship, Alvin, Savage, Smoke, and of course their captive, Hiccup. The ship was hidden at the far side of the island, between the rocks that were standing out of the sea. Another group of Outcasts were waiting there, ready to row the ship away from Berk. They didn't wait for the group that was back fighting in the village. A plan wasn't successful without sacrifices, right? They watched as the island grew smaller and smaller when they were getting away.

'Alvin? What do we do with the boy?' Savage asked. 'Tie him up to the mast? Lock him in one of the rooms in the deck?' He was already grabbing some rope.

'No. Remember that 'e doesn't 'ave 'is memories? We'll convince 'im that 'e belongs with us. Because of 'is memory loss, 'e is useless as the Dragon Conqueror, but not as our way to get rid of Stoick.'

'So… What do we do with him then?' Smoke asked.

Alvin thought for a moment. 'Put 'im in one of the rooms in the deck. The boy won't wake up soon, so ya don't need to lock 'im up.'

'Alright, Alvin' Savage said. He and Smoke took Hiccup to the nearest room in the deck. They dropped him on the bed, and all the while, Hiccup was still unconscious.

'Guess that stuff works pretty good' Smoke said when they left the room.

Savage grinned, and nodded. 'Great stuff, right? Too bad it takes so long to make it.' To make such substance, you had to get many herbs and berries, and some of them were pretty difficult to get. Some Outcasts were hurt pretty bad, while retrieving those herbs and berries, and Savage was really glad that he just had to make sure the Outcasts got the right stuff.

But what they didn't know, was that they'd mistaken one berry for another. It didn't make the substance useless, but the person who'd taken the substance, was more aware of his surroundings, and that was what happened to Hiccup.

He'd heard every word they said. It was really frustrating for Hiccup that he could only hear, but it was better than nothing, he presumed. Now he had to think of a way out of there, once he could move again. They couldn't lock him up in the cage he was before, because that wouldn't help their plan. But if they discovered that Hiccup didn't lose his memories at all, they would lock him up for sure. So his only chance to get out, was to play along. And when he got the chance, he would get away.

Hiccup thought of Toothless. He now knew how it felt to be unable to do a thing, while you or your best friend was in danger. Hiccup hoped Astrid would be fine, it wasn't hard to understand just by the sounds, that Alvin had knocked her out.

Time passed by, and Hiccup started to wonder if they would reach Outcast Island soon. He didn't exactly know how much time it took to go to Outcast Island from Berk. Maybe a day? Shouldn't the others come then soon? Or were there too many Outcasts they had to fight back there? He knew there must have been at least a dozen of Outcasts, judging by the noise they'd made while they fought. If he could only see, than he could have seen how far the sun was up, or if it wasn't up at all?

His thought were interrupted when someone big barged into the room. First Hiccup thought it was Alvin, but when the man didn't talk, he knew it was just another Outcast. Alvin would have at least made a cruel comment about Hiccup's situation right now.

The Outcast threw Hiccup not so gently on his shoulder, and Hiccup discovered he could feel again. The impact he'd made with the back of the Outcast left a little headache when it hit. Hiccup wanted to say something sarcastic, but the fact that he still couldn't talk didn't help.

The Outcast took him out of the ship, and a gentle but cold breeze made Hiccup's body shiver. It was a good sign, whatever they put in him was beginning to lose its effect. Soon he would be able to move normal again, and even better, he would be able to escape.

Hiccup didn't know where they took him, but he heard doors open, and when they went through, close again. They must be getting closer to the core of the volcano, because the temperature rose gradual.

Suddenly, they stopped moving, and another door was opened. They walked inside, and without a warning, Hiccup was dropped on something that felt like a hard bed. Hiccup heard the Outcast turn around and leave, closing the door behind him, but not locking it. Now Hiccup was alone again, wondering what time it was, and if the others would be here soon. Still, he had to think of an escape-plan. He couldn't rely on the others. They might get in trouble themselves because of him. The time went on, and eventually Hiccup came up with a plan. Yeah, he thought. This might work.

'Not again' Stoick sighed. He just got his son back, only to be taken away from him after a few days. If I ever see that ugly face of Alvin again, I'll make sure he never gets his hands on Hiccup again! He thought furiously. Stoick shook his head, he couldn't lose it now, otherwise he couldn't save Hiccup. He sighed. If he could only see his son once more, to make sure he was all right. Stoick walked towards Toothless, and removed the pile of Dragon Nip. It took only a minute for the dragon to stand up again, ready to get Hiccup back.

'Toothless, wait' Stoick said. 'We have to get the others first, then we can get Hiccup. But I'm afraid we can't take you with us, we must ride our own dragons.' Stoick could see that Toothless understood, but still wanted to help. It was just like last time.

Suddenly, they heard Astrid downstairs. 'Hiccup!' she yelled. Stoick went to her, and saw that she was getting to the front door.

'Astrid, wait!' Stoick said. Astrid froze in her track, and turned around slightly. 'You can't just go there. You need us. Alone you won't stand a chance against Alvin' Astrid sighed. She knew he was right. But she also knew Hiccup was in danger.

'Well,' she started. 'Let's get the others then. We can't waste any time, can we?' Stoick was glad that she realized that she needed the others. He nodded, and together with Astrid, they went outside.

'You'll get Fishlegs and the twins. I'll get Snotlout and Gobber' Stoick said. Astrid nodded and went to her house to get Stormfly. Stoick did the same, but then with Thornado. He mounted him and just when he was about to get up in the air, he saw Toothless in the corner of his eye. He looked at him with his big green eyes, and Stoick could see he wanted Hiccup to be safe.

'Don't worry Toothless. Hiccup's tuff, he'll be fine' Stoick said, but he didn't believe it much. The last time he promised Toothless the same, and Hiccup was far from fine. Stoick could still see the images of Hiccup's torn back in his mind. Every night they came haunting him, he wouldn't forget them soon. Toothless cooed, as if he was saying that he knew Hiccup would be fine in the end. Stoick nodded, and then he and Thornado were in the air.

Fishlegs was easy to get. He was at the Dragon Academy, already preparing to go. Everyone knew about the Outcast attack, and about Hiccup. Well, except for the twins. When Astrid told them what happened, they looked at here as if she was joking.

'Is this some kind of test?' Tuffnut asked.

'How could this be a test! One of your friends was taken by the enemy, of course this is no test!' Astrid said angry.

'Ooh, I want to be taken as well!' Ruffnut said.

'Me too!' Tuffnut added. Fishlegs mentally face-palmed himself.

'Guys, this is serious. The last time we managed to get Hiccup out of there barely alive. If we don't act now, it may be impossible to get him out of there this time. He could be dead!' he said. This seemed to take the twins to their senses.

'Well, what are we waiting for then?!' Tuffnut asked.

'Yeah, let's go!' Ruffnut and Tuffnut went to their dragon. Once they were seated, they took off towards the Haddock House. The others were there already. No word needed to be said. They nodded, and then they headed towards Outcast Island.
