This one is extremely short, and mostly just filler. I promise, I'll update tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, it'll be exactly one week to my birthday on Friday. :D
Chapter 3
Run Away?
"This way," Hiccup called as he swerved on Toothless. "She can't have gotten far." "Hiccup, if she left last night she could be anywhere by now. And she has Dawnstrike" Astrid called back over the sound of the winds. Hiccup looked back at the other riders. Snotlout, Astrid, Fishlegs, where were the twins?! "Not again," Hiccup sighed, irritated. "The twins have gone off on their own. I'm going to go find them" He called to Astrid. "Got it!" The Night Fury and his rider peeled off from the group, soaring over Berk in a search for the missing troublemakers.
Hiccup spotted the twins off one of the coves lining the sea stacks. Coincidentally, it was the same one that Azura had seen Outcasts yesterday. Landing, he called, "Ruff, Tuff, you can't just go running off like that. We have discussed this!" His voice died out when he saw what the twins were looking at. It was a patch of sand with many boot marks and a large trench that could only be the mark of a ship beaching. There was also the footprints of a skrill. "Azura" Hiccup breathed. Kneeling down, he looked closer, and found a distinctive footprint that he recognized. It had the imprint of a skrill where the toe was. "Dagur!" He said aloud. "Ruff, Tuff, we have to get back to Berk and the other riders. Azura and Dawnstrike have been captured by the Berserkers." The twins and the one-legged boy ran to their dragons. Ruffnut and Tuffnut might not have had much regard for their own lives (As had been displayed by Tuffnut believing that a Changewing egg would prevent his skin from being melted off), but when it came to their friends, they would do anything. Fear and worry chased each other around in Hiccup's head. He knew what Dagur was capable of. To see the young Skrill rider subjected to that sort of cruelty made his stomach turn and he silently urged Toothless faster.
Oh, and I added a little 'Hiccup/Azura bonding' (Miles away from each other, so I guess it doesn't really count) for you, MMM.
