HotXbun: I am sorry that it has been over a MONTH since I last updated! Kingdom Hearts Branded is my most popular story at the moment so I try to focus on that.

Five chapters! Halfway to ten! A woo woo!

Something bad is going to happen in this chapter. You have been warned.

Chapter 5 Captured

Astrid's POV

The Next Day

My friends and I were getting ready when Hiccup walked up to us.

"Morning babe", I greeted before looking at him.

And when I did, I could immediately see that he was upset.

"Hey", I said before I cupped his face. "Are you okay?"

Hiccup didn't answer. He just looked down sadly.

"I'm sorry", he apologized. "But I can't go with you guys."

"What", Fishlegs asked in shock. "But why?"

"I'm needed here", Hiccup replied.

"But", I started as I grabbed Hiccup's hands. "We need you too."

When I said that...Hiccup looked at me with a pained expression...and I immediately regretted what I said.

What are you doing? He just became chief! He has more important things than you to worry about!

"But it's okay", I quickly added. "We'll find a way to manage without you."

"You sure", Hiccup asked.

"I'm sure", I replied.

"Good", Hiccup said. "But if you guys are going without me, the least I can do is give you some protection. Follow me."

With that Hiccup led us to the blacksmith shop.

"Ta da", he said before he pulled off a blanket on something.

Under it were some cool outfits.

"Cool", Ruffnut said. "What are they?"

"Dragon scale armor", Hiccup revealed. "The latest in dragon rider fashion. Now you'll be fire prove and look good being so."

"You made this for us", I asked in shock.

"I felt bad not being able to go with you guys", Hiccup revealed. "So I thought that the least I can do is keep you guys safe."

"Have I ever mentioned that you're the best boyfriend ever", I asked Hiccup before putting my arms around his neck.

"Seriously guys", Snotlout asked.

"Well", Hiccup started. "What are you waiting for? Try them on."

Ten Minutes Later

I walked back into the blacksmith shop wearing my new armor.

"How do I look", I asked.

"Beautiful as always mi lady", Hiccup replied.

"Really guys", Snotlout asked annoyed.

"Well", I started. "We'd better get going."

"Be careful okay", Hiccup said.

"I will", I stated before hugging Hiccup. "I love you."

"I love you too."

One Hour Later

We walked up to the circus, which had now been completely burned down.

Thankfully it didn't look like anyone was hurt.

"Excuse me", I said as I walked up to the owner.

"Who are you", he asked before noticing our armor. "What you wearing?"

"That doesn't matter", I replied. "Do you know where the Nightfury from last night went?"

"Why do you want to know", the owner asked.

"That also doesn't matter", I stated. "Do you know or not?"

"Yeah I know", the owner replied before pointing towards the sky. "He went flying off in that direction."

That Afternoon

We flew all morning tracking the scent of the Nightfury.

And eventually...we wound up in a place we didn't want to be in.

"Wait a minute", I started. "Isn't this..."

"...Drago's lair."

Five Minutes Later

We dismounted our dragons inside Drago's lair.

"I'm not too sure about this guys", Fishlegs said.

Then...I heard this.

"Fire", somebody yelled.

With that a bunch of nets came flying towards us!

We tried to run away...but just caught up in them.

Then...a man walked up to us. A man who looked...almost identical to Eret.

"Dad?"

"Hello traitor", the man (who I now knew was Eret's father) greeted coldly.

"Dad", Eret started. "I can ex..."

"Silence", the man yelled. "I can't believe my own son betrayed me. And for a group of dragon riders no less? You are pathetic."

"Don't you dare say that about my future husband", Ruffnut said angrily.

"I am not your future husband Ruffnut", Eret stated annoyed.

"We'll see about that."

Ten Minutes Later

The trappers were taking us somewhere.

They took us to...the Nightfury. And it was sitting by the feet of...Drago Bludvist.

"Well, well, well", he said as he got up. "If it isn't the dragon riders, but the one I want to see the most is not here. Where is Hiccup?"

"Not here", I revealed.

"Oh but he soon will be", Drago stated.

Then...he noticed something around my neck.

My betrothal necklace.

In one quick movement...he pulled it off my neck!

"Give that back", I commanded.

I tried to get to it, but was held back by the trappers.

"This is a fine piece of jewelry", Drago stated. "The type a boy gets a girl when he wants to marry her. I see. You are his beloved. That will be useful to me.

HotXbun: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

PS: If you do not know, the betrothal necklace is something Hiccup gave to Astrid in the tv show.

Challenge: Tell me what you think going to happen next.

My Answer: Hopefully Hiccup is going to save Astrid.
