Author note: sorry that I'm so late with updating this chapter. Last week was pretty crazy with school and the well known corona-virus. Here's the newest chapter of Don't leave me
- chapter 4: First glimpse of Hiccup.
The riders weren't far from the graveyard anymore. Astrid looked over to the others, worried about the state they would find Hiccup in. Ruff and Tuff flew towards her "He's going to okay" Ruff said "Don't worry!" Snotloud heard these words and looked towards Astrid who showed a smile, the twins and Snotloud looked happy since this was the first time after Hiccup kidnapping that Astrid genially smiled. Figures of boats were coming in sight "Get ready!" Astrid yelled. They were flying low and steady, they were almost at the ship when suddenly they stopped. The riders looked up towards the mast. Horror and shock were covering they're eyes, Astrid started to cry and covering her mouth "no no no" she whispered. Hiccup was tied to the mast upside down, his wounds were wide open, he didn't move and he was as white as a ghost. Dagur come to the front of the ship and looked down seeing the rider looking towards Hiccup. "Beautiful sight isn't it" he said smiling towards the riders. Astrid come out of the shock first, yelling she went towards Dagur in full speed. Dagur's men wanted to attack but he ordered them back saying it was his fight alone but they needed to stop the riders from getting to Hiccup. "YOU COMPLETE LUNATIC!" Astrid yelled going with her axe and trustworthy dragon to fight Dagur. Snotloud and the twins were trying to get to Hiccup only to be stopped by Dagur's men shooting poisonous arrows and dragon proof netting. They were getting frustrated and were losing bad, Astrid couldn't compare to Dagur's strength. She looked towards the riders and towards Hiccup, the boy she would give her life to "Sorry" she thought and with that she jumped on her dragon and went towards the riders "Retreat" she yelled with tearful eyes. Snotloud and the twins looked and understood they were fighting a lost battle, they needed back-up and with this they retreat leaving an injured Hiccup still in Dagur's hands. They landed on an abandoned ship about a mile away from Dagur's fleet. Astrid didn't talk, Ruff was comforting. Snotloud and Tuff were on the lookout for Stoick and Fishlegs knowing that they would arrive soon. Everyone was quiet, Hiccup lifeless body was haunting they're minds.
Stoick and Fishlegs were only a half hour away. Stoick was flying Toothless, who couldn't fly himself, Skullcrusher was flying beside him. Fishlegs looked down, they were at the beginning of the Viking graveyard, he wondered if Hiccup was already with his friends. Stoick was quiet, the only thing that betrayed his silence were his eyes. They were filled with fear and anger, fear for his sons life and anger towards Dagur. It took awhile but they were beginning to see Dagur's fleet, they were ready for battle but were stopped by Snotloud and Tuff. They didn't say a thing except "Come with us". Stoick and Fishlegs looked towards each other, this wasn't normal for Snotloud. They followed only to find a crying Astrid and Ruff trying to comfort her and no Hiccup.
Dagur laughed as he watched the riders retreat, he ordered his men to take Hiccup down and below deck. They followed the order and within a couple of minutes, Hiccup was hanging with dragon proof chains arounds his arms and leg but now his metal leg and pants were gone. Dagur came into the room with bread and water, Hiccup was waking up. "What happened?" he asked with a dry/sore throat "O, the riders came by and left" Dagur smiled. Hiccup looked happy only to be followed by a blow in the stomach coming from Dagur. "Do you want to eat something?" he asked, Hiccup nodded from fear for another punch. He was hungry so Dagur started feeding him "Why are you doing this?" Hiccup asked only to get one answer back "Revenge" and with that Dagur started another torture session leaving Hiccup screaming with pain.
