Chapter 3

Hiccup's POV

'Son?' I heard my father say and that shot me out of my rage. I looked around and saw that the dispute between Jack and me had attracted the attention of every Viking present. I looked back at my father again and saw him standing behind Jack, who's expression was slowly but surely twisting into the angry glare from before. This sight made me too become angry and irritated once again.

I don't want to hear any more, I just want to be left alone.

'WHAT THE HELL HICCUP!' Oh stop it, you deserved it. 'WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!' Seriously?! 'WHAT DID–'

I hit my breaking point.

'OH SHUT UP!' I yelled and ran as fast as I could direction the exit, attempting to evade the many broad Vikings who were staring at me with a frown.

Some of them were looking at something behind me, and I realized Jack was probably following me to give me a piece of his drunken mind. That made me run even harder. I don't want to hear him anymore! Just let him go away!

I reached the exit in a new record and saw to my relief Toothless walking toward me with a confused expression. He must have heard the agitation in the Great Hall and came by, wondering what was going on.

I sprinted towards the Night Fury when I saw Jack closing in again, almost reaching the exit where I stood just a few seconds ago. I hooked my prosthetic onto the pedal and my belt onto the hook on the saddle while soothing the confused dragon and taking on the flying position.

I heard Jack yell something but I didn't care to listen anymore. I gave the word to Toothless and within seconds we were airborne, leaving Jack and my worries behind me.

I felt the familiar chill of the northern wind in my hair and I spread my arms while I laid down on the saddle. Here at least, Jack can't come after me. I thought as I breathed in the much needed fresh air of freedom.

I then let it all out. I screamed as hard as I could into the darkness of the sky while gripping the saddle. 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!'. I felt Toothless shift a bit, but I wasn't done yet. 'CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT HE SAID TOOTHLESS?! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS, PLAYING WITH MY FEELINGS LIKE THAT!'

Toothless gave a small growl as he adjusted his tail fin to make a curve to the left, to the west.

'THAT WAS JUST TO MUCH! EVEN IF HE WAS A LITTLE DRUNK... okay, so maybe he didn't really know what he was saying... BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE CAN JUST FLIRT WITH ASTRID AND THEN BRUSH IT OFF AS IF IT WAS NOTHING!'

After about a minute of yelling all my frustrations off, I had calmed down enough to try and think clearly.

Well, it's not like Astrid and I are in that kind of a relationship or something, so it shouldn't matter so much if he takes an interest in her. But to say it's all right because he wants to have a little fun too... that is just taking it to far! He knows damn well I have feelings for her! What a JERK!

As my internal turmoil went on, I didn't notice Toothless descending to the Western Woods until he shook me of his back and made me land on my bottom.

'AUCH! What did you do that for?' I asked irritated while rubbing my behind and Toothless answered by letting out a sound that resembled that of laughter.

Toothless then curled himself up around me and made himself comfortable. I let myself drop onto his side, letting out a giant sigh as I closed my eyes and enjoyed the peaceful and quiet sounds the woods had to offer me.

We stayed like this for a while, listening to the rustling of the leaves caused by the northern winds and the quiet sounds of the fauna around us.

Suddenly, I felt Toothless stir and abruptly stand up, teeth bared and growling low as he was looking around, peering through the darkened woods. I stood up too, being under the intention that we were not alone. I was not disappointed.

'Well well, what do we 'ave here? Stoick's little embarrassment!'

I could recognize that voice and accent anywhere and I didn't like it one bit.

'Alvin' I said as I looked around searching for the man who the voice belonged to, glad that Toothless was with me so that I didn't stand alone again the Outcast nut case. 'Didn't expect you to be here.' I said in my most sarcastic voice.

'You know me 'iccup, I'm just ain't good at givin' up.'

I then suddenly heard the battle cries of multiple Outcasts. I turned around in the direction of the noise to see a bunch of them running towards us, axes in hand. Toothless also took notice of the cluster of Vikings heading our way and next thing I heard was the shriek of plasma blasts being fired.

'And of course you brought your lackeys with you. You can't think of something more original to do than to attack me when I'm alone.' I said while turning around towards Alvin again.

Suddenly, Alvin started laughing maliciously and I noticed too late the bola which was closing in on me with great speed and before I knew it, I got tangled into the rope and was propelled backwards, away from Toothless.

I felt something hard hitting the back of my head before suddenly feeling light-headed. I saw that my vision was quickly becoming blurry and blackness creeping in from the edges.

Toothless was running towards me, roaring in worry and completely forgetting that we were currently under attack. 'Toothless, don't...' I said, concerned that he had become distracted. Then, my vision became totally black as I fell into unconsciousness.

Jack...

Here you go: action, like promised.

I hope I didn't write it too cheesy and sorry if the accent isn't convincing.

I wonder what's gonna happen to Hiccup next *evil laugh*
