Chapter 5

Astrid was lying down next to Dawn, watching as hundreds of soldiers loaded supplies onto ships that were then transported to Drago. Astrid had been concerned with the group they had selected. Dawn had insisted they take the Riders' Core/The original riders, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut.

We shouldn't have taken them Astrid said. They'd be better off loading supplies onto our ships rather than spying on a supply line. We need as many men as we can get Dawn said. Astrid sighed angrily. No need to worry Astrid Dawn said. Suddenly, the dragons were shot with sleeping darts. Armed soldiers surrounded the group.

No need to worry? Astrid growled, slowly raising her hands in surrender, along with the rest of the group. How did they find us? Dawn asked. The lead soldier stepped forward, removing his helmet revealing a tone face with medium length hair. Your soldiers don't cover their tracks very well the man laughed. Dawn then saw that Fishlegs and Snotlout hadn't covered their trail in the snow. Astrid glared at Snotlout.

What?! Snotlout asked. Covering the tracks was YOUR job! Astrid shouted. Well I wanted to chat with Ruffnut! Snotlout said angrily. Ruffnut just kept staring at the man who had arrested them with dreamy eyes. Me likey She murmured. Ugg Dawn groaned.

After the man, named Eret, had chained them, he took them to the largest ship in the harbor. Onboard, they saw a man with dark skin covered in scars, wearing a black cloak, and carrying a large spear with a hook on the end. Drago Dawn growled. The man smiled. Hello Dawn he said.

He looked at Hookfang, Snotlout's dragon, who breathed fire at him. Instead of dodging, Drago put his cloak in front of him like a shield, which deflected the fire. He then swung his spear around wildly, shouted loudly, which intimidated Hookfang, who bowed to Drago, whimpering. Drago then stood on his snout like a prized elk.

What are you doing?! Astrid shouted angrily. You belong to me now Drago said. He looked at Eret. We found these dragon riders scouting the supply lines sir Eret said. And why are the Americans interested in our affairs I wonder? Drago growled getting to within inches of Dawn's face. Dawn spat in it.

Drago smiled and cleaned his face with his cloak. How very gauche Drago said. This isn't the first time I've run across you near here Dawn Drago said. You will not escape this time.

Dawn glared at Eret. I will, the same way I did last time Dawn said. Oh, but you aren't being imprisoned like last time Drago said smiling. He looked at Eret. Kill her he said. NO! Astrid shouted. Astrid broke free of the chains with inhuman strength. Astrid had no time to ponder how she did that, but she threw a punch aimed at Drago. Drago held out his hand and made a squeezing motion. Astrid stopped, unable to breathe. She clawed at her throat, trying desperately to remove the invisible hands on her throat.

Jedi scum Drago smiled. He threw her to the side, slamming her against the side of the main mast. Her head began to spin. Drago then threw her over the side of the ship, onto land, which was over several hundred feet away. He leapt after her.

Suddenly, Eret pressed his necklace, which glowed. He then knocked out several guards, and began to free the group.

Astrid was hurting as Drago grabbed her again. My prize Drago said. He ripped off her armor and underlying clothes. No… Astrid groaned, to weak to do anything. Like the dragon, you are now mine! Drago said reaching for her panties. Before he could grab them, someone flew over Astrid, kicking Drago through several rocks, and into the nearest ship. Astrid looked up at her savior.

What did you do this time? Kyle asked.
