Chapter 3: The Singetail
"Sir, the girl escaped," a voice called from the dark hallway, getting closer.
Once I heard those words, I knew someone was going to pay for this. I stood up from my desk in my office and waited for the voice to come in. "What did you say?" I demanded, my voice sounding hoarse, but I didn't care.
One of my trappers was standing in front of me. "She got away," he panted, "the Ice Fury took her."
I walked forward, using my height to scare the tiny trapper. "The red haired one?" The trapper nodded fearfully. "Are you telling me you lost a very valuable dragon and a very valuable girl in one go?"
His face showed pure terror as I inched closer. This was fun. "Y-yes sir. The Fury stuck Halbert into the wall, then ran of with the girl."
I angrily paced my office, trying not to punch the trapper in the face. I still needed more information.
The trapper asked, "Why are you so upset about losing the girl? She wasn't valuable. We have many more girls to feed the dragons."
I quickly turned on my heel to face the trapper. "I kidnapped her for a reason. Her family needed to pay. More importantly, her father needed to pay."
"Her father? Hiccup Haddock? Why is he on your revenge list?" The trapper questioned. This trapper needed to learn respect for his employer but I still answered him.
"Hiccup Haddock is the reason my father is dead," I answered him shortly.
"Why is your father's death Hiccup's fault? I thought Drago killed him." The trapper was on thin ice. I hated Hiccup. I told him the story only to reveal the truth, that Hiccup Haddock is not the hero he is made out to be.
"When my father was working for Drago, when he had a army of singletails and their riders at his disposal, Hiccup and his dragon riders ruined my father, and made him a failure in front of Drago. I ride a singletail in honor of my father. I kidnapped his daughter to make him suffer for what he did," I told my trapper, my hate for the chief of Berk made known in the tone of my voice. "If I had a Deathsong, as my father had, everyone in my army would ride a singletail. Since I do not, they all ride other dragons."
The trapper thoughtfully nodded. "I understand why you were so awful to that girl now. It is her father's fault that Krogan is dead."
I sat down at my desk. "Now, leave me in peace. Tell the cook I will eat supper in here tonight." The trapper nodded and left the room, his footsteps echoing down the hallway.
I will destroy Hiccup Haddock, if it is the last thing I do.
Well, here's the back story! So, now we know why Cami was stolen by a singletail rider. Hope you guys enjoy!
