Chapter 5

Jack's POV

I was running.

I was running from the whiteness behind me toward the whiteness in front of me with whiteness around me, no goal in mind.

I don't know why I was running or where I was running towards, but I felt like I had to run, or I would lose something important.

Then something appeared before me.

There, in the distance, stood Hiccup facing away from me. I wasted no time and ran harder towards the scrawny Viking, who was slowly walking away.

Even though I was running and he was walking, I didn't get any closer. The opposite was happening instead: Hiccup was getting farther and farther away from me.

'HICCUP WAIT!' I yelled and that seemed to get his attention as he stopped and turned around.

The moment Hiccup looked at me in the eyes I felt that something was very wrong.

Hiccup's eyes seemed lifeless.

It was then that the surroundings changed. Dark tentacles slowly came from the white ground and the white ceiling, painting everything they touched a menacing and oddly familiar black.

I looked at Hiccup again and I panicked.

The tentacles were starting to wrap themselves around him and Hiccup just stood there, staring blankly before him, as if his soul had left his body.

The tentacles started attacking me too, but I evaded them quickly and started flying towards my precious 'little brother', not caring if my secret would be revealed before the teen. But even while flying, it felt like an eternity before I finally reached him.

I wasted no time and started freezing and breaking those stupid tentacles, but it felt like for every one I removed, ten more were coming in its place and soon only Hiccup's left half of his head and the left part of his upper body were unstained.

Somewhere along the ride, the tentacles had started pulling Hiccup into the ground, like homing in their prey. At this point, I was hysterical.

'DAMN HICCUP WHY AREN'T YOU RESISTING?! IS IT OUR FIGHT WE HAD IN THE GREAT HALL?! IS THAT WHAT THIS IS?!'

Hiccup was half under.

'OKAY THEN, MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TREATED YOU LIKE THAT, BUT WHAT SHOULD I HAVE DONE ELSE?!'

At this point, the only thing still on the surface was Hiccup's head and the arm which I was holding onto. I gave up on the idea of removing the tentacles some time ago.

'HICCUP I'M SORRY! COME ON, DON'T DO THIS TO ME! DON'T LEAVE! I- I- I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU TOO!'

'Jack...?'

'HICCUP!'

But it was too late. I heard a loud roar echoing all around us and that was it. Hiccup was sucked in by the blackness.

I let myself fall onto my knees and grabbed my hair. He's gone? No, he can't be gone! I said I would protect him with my life! He just can't be gone!

I noticed that the tentacles too were gone, having finished their task of painting everything in black and taking my first and only brother from me. What, now that you took Hiccup your work is done here? I thought and then I started laughing. I lost it.

I then saw a ray of light and looked up. Up there, in the dark sky, was Man in Moon shining down on me. I got angry. 'What are YOU doing here NOW? WHERE WERE YOU A MINUTE AGO?! WHY DIDN'T YOU DO ANYTHING?!' I yelled.

I didn't expect an answer and lowered my head to face the ground again, drowning myself in my negative thoughts.

'Wake up.'

'Huh?' I looked up to Manny again, not believing that it was him talking.

'Wake up, Jack Frost!'

There it was again! I couldn't believe it! The last time he said anything to me was when I became a guardian a long time ago.

'WAKE UP!'

I shot up straight and started breathing heavily.

A dream? I thought as I looked around me. I noticed rays of light penetrating through the leaves to form little specks of light on the ground, slowly moving in the rhythm of the wind.

Suddenly my head started throbbing mercilessly as I attempted to climb down the tree branch. Ugh great, a hangover. I thought and I began to remember yesterday's occurrences.

The fight! The dream! Hiccup!

I flew with the greatest speed I could muster towards the Haddock house, worried that the dream is not simply fantasy, but a premonition.

After approximately one minute, I finally reached the wooden house on the top of the hill and reached for the door planning to barge into the house when I heard Stoick's booming voice.

'YOU FOUND WHAT?!' he yelled when I opened the door.

What I saw when I entered, was a furious and barefooted Stoick looking down towards a scared Berkian with anger and I instantly knew that my dream was more than just a dream and that something happened to Hiccup.

'Hey chief, what's wrong?' I asked, keeping up an innocent air as to not awake suspicion. The last thing I want is Hiccup's father getting angry at me because it seemed as if I knew what was wrong.

'Joku- Jackson!' Jackson? 'What are you doing here so early? Never mind, I've got no time.' He said while putting on his boots. He then turned to the Berkian again. 'Lead the way.'

'Wait! Stoick! What happened? Does it have something to do with Hiccup?' I asked while standing in his path, trying to attract his attention.

I saw his eyebrow twitch and that and that was all I needed to see to know that something very bad had happened to my little believer, but I wouldn't back down until the chief tells me exactly what's going on.

Stoick looked at me and after a long sigh finally said 'Okay okay, I'll explain on the way.' He then let out a mighty dragonroar (compliments of Hiccup) and after a few seconds, the blue thunderdrum was roaring back as it turned around the corner to greet us.

When Stoick finished making Thornado fly-ready, he motioned to the space on the saddle behind him signalling me to hop on. I accepted the offer, grabbed onto the Viking and we set off into the sky.

This is when Stoick began talking.

'I woke up to find Hiccup not in his bed, so I just figured that he woke up early and went flying with Toothless, since Toothless was also nowhere to be seen. I then went downstairs to put on my boots and eat breakfast when Spitelout here,' he pointed to the Berkian flying before us leading the way, 'came barging in with news.' He then paused.

He talks just as dramatically as Hiccup. I sighed. Like father, like son. 'What was the news?' I insisted, getting impatient.

'He and a few other villagers found Toothless hurt, bonded and unconscious in the woods with Hiccup nowhere to be seen.' Stoick finished and his expression turned angry again.

He then snapped again.

'HOW DARE THESE OUTCASTS KIDNAP MY SON!', the Berkian chief yelled, attracting the attention of a few waking ignorant villagers under us.

I gulped. 'How do you know that it were the Outcasts who took Hiccup?'

'WHO ELSE WOULD HAVE DONE THIS?!' He yelled, 'an outcast ship was found sailing nearby only a few days ago! I should have kept a closer eye on Hiccup! I shouldn't have let him go alone!'

'Calm down chief!' I urged. 'It's not your fault. It's more mine...'

This seemed to calm him down as he looked to me with understanding eyes. 'I'm sorry Jo- Jackson, your right. I should calm down and think clearly.'

'Sooo, where are we going?' I asked, already having a destination in mind.

'To the place where Toothless was found,' Stoick said with a stoic face, 'the Western Woods'.

And what's with the Jackson anyway? I thought irritated.

Aaaaand I'll stop it here.

Till next time!
