Escape

by Skylene

After battling against the biggest threat Berk have ever come across, Hiccup is no where to be found, and he's assumed dead. But then Alvin the Treacherous was spotted by the Berkians not far from the island where the fight had just happened. Alvin gets his hands on the dragon conqerour and since he's held hostile, the Berkians need to get him back.

Astrid's POV

The plan was a disaster! If Stoick didn't make that sound, Hiccup's plan would've worked, but now he's gone. His father didn't look sad, but sort of happy. Gobber on the other hand, was broken. I watched as some Vikings cleaned the arena, and walked to the Great Hall with my friends.

"It's a mess," I said, looking down.

"Yeah," Snotlout said, following my lead.

"Do you think he will come back?" Fishlegs asked, looking at me with a hopeful look.

"Honestly, yes. But I don't know. I mean, he didn't get any supplies so he's got to come back sometime, right?" They nodded in agreement, but honestly I don't know. What if he never comes back? What if the war won't stop? What if he dies out in the wilderness? No. He's riding a Night fury! He will survive. I just know it.

Stoick ordered for a meeting in the Great Hall, but nobody knows why. Most likely it's about the whole Hiccup incident, but what is it to talk of? That he's going to tell how disappointed he is now? He got no right to do that.

"We need search parties. My son is still out there, and we will get answers out of him," Stoick said with the coldest voice I've ever heard as we entered the hall. "Night patrols will be held in the wilderness here on Berk, beaches and in town. If you spot anything blow the horn four times," Everyone nodded and went to get their bolas, nets, and weapons. I hope they don't hurt him. He's only trying to make them understand. Vikings are really blind. I sit down on our table with my friends and we start discussing.

"If you spot Hiccup anywhere, don't blow the horn. He needs our help," I whispered, hoping no passing Vikings would hear us.

"But how? Nobody knows where he is, and last place we saw him was on the horizon flying away us," Snotlout said. Wow, he's actually gotten a bit smarter. Good impression Hiccup.

"Yes, but he will come back. He won't survive out there for long without supplies. None of us will speak a word about the cove. Got it?" They nodded and we kept discussing on what we would do if he comes back. He will most likely come at night for cover.
