Chapter five Hiccup's note
A/N: Warning inappropriate behavior is within this chapter read at risk…Explanation is at the end…
Hiccup struggled as he forced himself to sit down in his courters. Forcing himself to be his humane self. He knew he had a lot to explain in little time he had control over his body.
He picked up the charcoal pencil and started writing.
Dear Astrid and the other riders,
I have too much to explain and so little time. But here it is, I'm sorry for what I've done. I made a big mistake and it cost me my humanity. I turned ageist everyone I care about; Tuff was right when he called me a Traitor. I am a threat to you all and to Berk. There are so many things I wish I could undo and take back.
My only question would be for the Gods would be… "Is this where it all ends? Is this my fate?" But who am I to try and cheat fate? To cheat what could be the death of me? All I know is that I'm alone, I am lost without you all and I'm scared. Toothless and I have both killed some of Ryker's men… and even he fears me. But he has every right to be. He did this to me. If I were to return to the edge you'd all be in danger and I couldn't live with myself to watch, you all get hurt because of me. I trust you all, I've taught you all so much and you all have your special gifts, you all can survive. I know you will get the antidote regardless of the fact that we are heading for the antidote ourselves to destroy it. You must get it at all costs.
I trained the Skrill for Dagur and ever since he's been following me around like a love sick puppy, it's fracking me out.
Anyways the black crystal liquid is spreading towards my heart and I'm running out of time. I'm sorry guys. Oh and Astrid take care of them.
-Hiccup. H. Haddock
Hiccup looked at the red terror and wrapped his letter to its leg and left his room to stand on deck of Ryker's ship before releasing the dragon. Ryker joined him, his wounded shoulder wrapped in gauze.
Hiccup didn't look at him. "You never used the black crystal liquid on a human before…so why use it on me?"
"Viggo had requested that we use you as the first human to be tested on." Ryker said not looking at Hiccup. "Then why did Gothi know what this was if it's never been used on humans." Hiccup said looking back but at an awcourd angle.
"Because of your wound it is the same as the ones the dragons have. Like your night fury. As for why Viggo wanted to use you is beyond me. All you've been is a nuisance." Ryker muttered. Hiccup laughed. "Me? A nuisance? No I believe Viggo is a smart man, he's kept himself hidden this whole time now hasn't he? That's because he is your boss. He is the one pulling your strings. He is your puppet master. Trust me Ryker he knows I'm a threat to his operation. He rather make me an ally of darkness then as a dragon rider! We think alike, he wants me to be your brains." Hiccup snapped.
Hiccup out of the corner of his eye caught sight of Ryker flinching. Hiccup broke his gaze from him and sighed. "But who am I to judge my captain, after all I have been disobeying orders however…" Hiccup turn his head back to an awcourd angle. "You can't kill me, Viggo wants Toothless and I alive after all, am I wrong?"
"No you're right as perusal, I can't kill you but that doesn't mean I let you run amuck. After all I've been observing your behavior over the past few days, and you are out of control. So you either follow orders or get looked up for a few hours." Ryker snarled.
For the first time since their chat began Hiccup turned to face Ryker. "Following orders? I would if they weren't so stupid or well, I don't know in the right of mind!" Hiccup realised a sigh. "I'll try to follow orders but don't expect him to listen very much!"
Hiccup's eyes flashed black to evasive the point. "He hates me and everyone else, piss him off and you're as good as dead." Then Hiccup's eyes turned black and green. "It's good to have control again, he really is a pain to deal with at times." Hiccup muttered in a dark voice.
Ryker backed away. "Why are you running Ryker? I'm not in the mood to kill things your good. What do you need?" Hiccup asked eyeing the hunter.
"We are close to a hunter island; we are stopping to check the traps." Ryker said.
"You will insure the safety of these dragon upon arrival to this ship, if I so much as see a wounded dragon you will meet my sword properly this time. Do I make myself clear Ryky?" Hiccup said.
Ryker nodded fearfully. "Yes Hiccup." Hiccup smiled. "Good. You may go."
Later Hiccup was in his quarters when a gaud came in. Hiccup looked at him. "Did I say you could enter my chambers? No I don't think so."
"To bad." The woman said as she grabbed Hiccup and ejected him with a blue liquid. Hiccup threw the man off him. His limbs instantly felt numb and his eyelids grew heavy. "What did you do to me!"
"No need to worry Hiccup, that should keep you from causing Ryker anymore trouble for a little while." The woman said taking Hiccup to his bed and wrapping him to his bed. Hiccup mustered a snarl from deep within his throat. "I will kill you for this!" was all Hiccup could say before passing out into uncontiouness.
Meanwhile on deck.
"It's been done Captain; he won't be bothering us any time soon." The woman that had approached said.
Ryker smiled at the man. "Good, things should go smoothly."
However, unknots to the men a surety deranged Viking overheard the news. "What did they do to Hiccup?"
"There are guards protecting the door to his room which has been locked, just in the event that his bounds don't hold him." The woman said.
"You've done me well Alex, pretepre the men." Ryker said broadly. Alex nodded and left to do as she was told.
Dagur walked out of his hiding spot and was spotted by Ryker. "Dagur I would like you and your Skrill to patrol the sky while we gather the dragons."
Dagur nodded. "Sure Ryker." Then he quickly hurried off to find his sister.
When he did eventfully find her he grabbed her hand and pulled her off to the side. "Heather I need you to do something for me." Dagur said with a sudden urgency which got Heather's ametit attention. "What's wrong brother I've never seen you like this?"
"They've done something to Hiccup, they didn't say what though, all I know is that Hiccup's locked in his room and subdued." Dagur said.
Heather narrowed her eyes. "And you're sure of this?"
Dagur nodded his head. "I over heard Ryker and Alex talking about it." Heather nodded her head. "Alright let's go check it out."
"I wish I could, but I can't. Ryker asked me to patrol the skies on Striker." Dagur said in a rather fowl tone. Heather frowned. "I'll help Hiccup Dagur, don't worry about it."
Dagur sighed but nodded his head before hugging Heather in a tight embrace. "Thank you." He said before releasing her and heading off to get Striker.
Heather then snuck off to Hiccup's quarters. When she arrived she found two of Ryker's men guarding Hiccup's door. A loud cry sounded from behind the door.
'Hiccup!?' Heather walked towards the door. "Halt who goes there!?" One asked. "Ryker asked me to cheek on how our guest is doing." Heather said as she stopped in front of Ryker's men. "I don't know Heather," Started the other. "Alex told us that no one is to enter or leave this room."
Another cry. "Ugh that's the tenth time he's done that!" The first guard snapped. "What if I said I could shut him up?" Heather said quickly. Both men looked at one another and nodded. Upon opening the door Heather snuck inside. Laying on the small bed was a tied down Hiccup. He was struggling and looked very uncomfortable. His head turned to look at her. His eyes were black and green, so it was clear which Hiccup she was dealing with however she wasn't expecting him to ask for help.
She approached him and looked him over. "What's wrong with you?"
"T-that g-girl- she ejected me with some sort of blue liquid, now there is only pain!" Hiccup growled out through clenched teeth as if trying to suppress another cry of pain. Heather already knew what they had done to him but it made matters all the more severe. "Blue ice liquid. It is the only known thing that counters the black crystal liquid that's in your body, both where dragon size douses. That's why your out of control on one hand and suffering on the other, with that much blue ice in your veins it's attacking your body fully intend of just your black crystal." Heather said. "So that's it, that's what she gave me? Agh! Help me!" Hiccup hissed again through clenched teeth. Heather looked around. "She had to have leaved a syringe around here, if she did I can remove the ice crystal liquid from your veins." Heather said desperately looking around the room. Moments later she found one and grabbed it and poked the needle through his red sleeve and pulled up the plunger of the needle drawing out blood. Heather shuttered at the sight of his blood, unlike the normal crimson red color Hiccup's blood was crimson black with hints of ice blue here and there. All she knew was that she had to remove as much of the Ice Crystal as posable! After about five minutes Hiccup had stopped wreathing in agony and was breathing more normally then when she had first found him. Hiccup looked at her with his black-green eyes. "I owe you a great deal Heather, I cannot thank you enough for helping me."
"I didn't do it on my own, Dagur was the one who told me that you needed help." Heather said brushing her hair behind her ear. Hiccup nodded his head respectfully. "Then I owe Dagur a great deal as well. Now then…" Hiccup said as he sat up and got out of bed. "We have some business to attend to, I should be receiving what I want in another moment or two." Hiccup said putting his hands behind his back. Heather was just about to question him when a terror flew into his room with the guards laying on the ground with Toothless growling at them. "Good boy Toothless, magnificent job." Hiccup said to the Night fury before taking the note from the terror. "Who's it from?" Heather asked eyeing the note sasisosly.
"From the big man, Viggo. I simply," Hiccup stopped in a moment of pause as he rolled his hand in a circle like motion. "Informed him of the successful testing of the Black Crystal Liquid experiment on me. I explained to him of all the things Ryker has failed in doing and why. In return Viggo has granted me the right as captain, as the leader of this army. I will scussed where Ryker has failed. Without mercy, I will kill the riders and bring Viggo their heads. I am Viggo's greatest weapons and I will snuff out that pathetic worm of a boy's light and only I shall exist in this world, oh Viggo will have his dragons trained and battle ready and nobody will stand in his way. Our agreement is still my dear Heather, even if I owe you I still know your secret and I will not haste to kill you if you step out of line, do we understand our place Miss Heather?"
Heather bowed her head. "I understand Captain Hiccup." Hiccup laughed a bit and smiled a devilish smile. "Good. Get Windsher and let's go find Dagur, I have a Hunter to kick down in more ways than one."
Heather nodded painfully. She hated this, hearing all of that come from Hiccup's own mouth struck fear into her heart, she loved Hiccup as her friend, she knew that this wasn't the boy she had known since they had been kids, Hiccup would help whatever the cost, even when she had dived them and got him and his friends in a heap of trouble with Alvin. It wasn't fair to Hiccup now and she could see behind those merciful eyes that deep down the Hiccup she knew was still in there. But know she was left with no choice, she would have to turn her back on her friends again in order to save herself then to suffer death by Hiccup's hand.
He smiled darkly. "You are a Traitor Heather, most would turn their backs on you." He took her chin into his grip. "But I'm not going to turn my back on you, oh no not at all, you want to know why I'm keeping your secret and you alive?" Heather said nothing. "Because you have value to me, but…even with value things will rust and become old and unwanted over time, such beauty like yourself would be a shame to go to waste, so young…" Hiccup stroked her hair with his spare hand and smelt it. "I like myself the wild one, you're wild aren't you Heather? Hem hem, yes, I wonder how you would act in bed? Hahaha!" Hiccup said licking her face.
Heather pulled away sharply and went to strike Hiccup with her fist. Her breaths where quick and out of control. Her heart felt like it was in her throat. Hiccup smiled harder as he stopped her punch with his hand. "Hehehe, wild, and fiery aren't we? We'll have to wait my Dear, for now we have much more important matters to take care of."
Heather's body trembled with fear she was scared stiff. "Who the Hell are you, and what have you done to the Hiccup I know!"
"Nothing yet, my Dear however I will control his body fully soon enough, and maybe then we can play together just you and I, I want to see just how breakable and wild you really are." Hiccup said laughing as he walked out of his room with Toothless by his side. "Come along my Dear." Hiccup called from down the hall. Heather took an uneasy breath and followed Hiccup unwillingly down the hall.
(with Astrid)
Astrid was in her house looking at Scarlet, unfortunately there was more wrong with the little dragon then before, she not only couldn't fly but she was blind as well, the Natter was a poor sight to behold, she was small for her age, she was weak, and barely had any muscle mass on her bones, as she was left to starve, she was the runt of her litter and it was painful to watch her. However, it scared her to feel that Hiccup was growing darker and darker and there was nothing within her power to stop it.
"Come here girl." Astrid said. The natter's head pricked up and sniffed the air and wobbled over to Astrid who stroked the dragon's scarlet scales. Scarlet cooed with conurn. "My friend was taken away from me by some monsters, I'm scared because I don't know how he is or how I'm going to get him back without endangering my friends." Astrid said.
Just then a terror flew in through her window. "Sharpshot?" Astrid asked as she took the note off of the dragon's foot.
Dear Astrid and the other riders,
I have too much to explain and so little time. But here it is, I'm sorry for what I've done. I made a big mistake and it cost me my humanity. I turned ageist everyone I care about; Tuff was right when he called me a Traitor. I am a threat to you all and to Berk. There are so many things I wish I could undo and take back.
My only question would be for the Gods would be… "Is this where it all ends? Is this my fate?" But who am I to try and cheat fate? To cheat what could be the death of me? All I know is that I'm alone, I am lost without you all and I'm scared. Toothless and I have both killed some of Ryker's men… and even he fears me. But he has every right to be. He did this to me. If I were to return to the edge you'd all be in danger and I couldn't live with myself to watch, you all get hurt because of me. I trust you all, I've taught you all so much and you all have your special gifts, you all can survive. I know you will get the antidote regardless of the fact that we are heading for the antidote ourselves to destroy it. You must get it at all costs.
I trained the Skrill for Dagur and ever since he's been following me around like a love sick puppy, it's fracking me out.
Anyways the black crystal liquid is spreading towards my heart and I'm running out of time. I'm sorry guys. Oh and Astrid take care of them.
-Hiccup. H. Haddock
Astrid broke into tears and fell to the floor of her hut. 'It can't be true; he couldn't be…losing? Could he?'
Astrid looked up out of her window and screamed. "Why did you do this! I thought you made Hiccup a Hero because it was his destiny! So why did you let them take him from me! I love him more than anything and you are to blame for this! You did nothing to help him and now I'm going to lose him like I lost my Uncle Finn! It's not fair!" Astrid sobbed holding Hiccup's note close to her heart. "It's not fair! It's not fair! It's not fair!" Astrid cried.
She was heartbroken, she was an emosanal wreck, she didn't know how to lead them, she didn't want to see Hiccup in so much pain, and to lose him only made matters worse, he had Heather backed into a corner, and who knows what else he would do, how many more people he would kill, how far gone he will really go in the end. The fear that they wouldn't get to him in time, there were only four more days until the plant would grow to save Hiccup but by then would it be too late?
After about an hour and a half Astrid had stopped crying, as much as she dared that is. She packed up her septal and stroked Scarlet's head and left out some fish. She wrote a note and left it on the kitchen table. "I'm sorry Scarlet but I have to do something." Astrid said before closing the door and going to the stables. She opened the door of Stormfly's cage and hoped onto her back. Astrid covered her face with something that she had made after she had met Heather, she had made her own mask and then with supplies in hand she flew off towards the open sea, praying that she would eventually find him….
A/N: Okay…lot of explaining to do I guess…
I originally never planned for that one part with Hiccup and Heather, I tried to go along with the whole turn your back on Traitors from the book series for HTTYD, and I guess I ended up with SAO ALO kinds of perv…That would be my first time writing that type of stuff because that stuff is POSION! I may write like that again maybe in this story but again I hadn't intently planned it just happened…Plez don't hate me for this. If it is too much, please tell me and I'll try never to write something like that again.
The whole shipping fiasco…I have no idea why I'm doing the Dagcup and the Hiccether shippings my two main shipping's with Hiccup is Hicstrid and Toothcup (DON'T BE HATEING OR JUDGING ME!)
Where do you guys think Astrid is going?
