Chapter 3: Alvin and the Outcasts Pt 2

Within Berk's forest Hiccup was running full speed weaving in between tree's and rocks while at the same time dodging flying axe's, spears, arrows, and bola's that all seemed to be aimed at him. There was a yelp from behind him and then instantly he was struggling to breathe as a set of arms squeezed around his neck.

"Hiccup!" Mrs. Hofferson yelled in his ear as she clung onto his back for dear life, "Can't you fly out of here!?"

"Canopy… to… thick," Hiccup breathed out as her arms wrapped tighter around his throat. "Also… can't… breath."

"Quit your complaining child and run faster!" She yelled while an ax flew over their heads and imbedded itself in a tree in front of them.

Hiccup toke a sharp left going further into the forest and then dove into some bushes to hide. No sooner were the Outcasts running past them and further away from them. Once they were a safe distance away and Hiccup couldn't hear them anymore he got out from the bushes and began to heave a little bit while Mrs. Hofferson jumped off from his back and looked into the forest to see if there were any stragglers.

Seeing that there were none she turned to Hiccup with an upset look on her face causing him to raise an eyebrow and give her an expression that said 'what' before she began to speak. "How could you not of heard and smelled them?" She asked a little bit agitated.

"Uh," Hiccup started, "Because we were surrounded by berries which damper my sense of smell. Plus they were sneaking up on us, what do you think I can do, hear their breathing?"

"Excuses," she said, "A true warrior is always alert."

"When you're even picking berries?" Hiccup asked. "As I recall, you were also there, so shouldn't you have been on alert as well?"

She shot him a look that made him dart his eyes from her to the ground as she look around at their surroundings. "We need to get back to the village," She said turning to him, "Or find your dragon friends."

Hiccup nodded and was about to respond before his ears picked up a whishing sound and before he knew it bolas began to wrap themselves around his body causing him to fall to the ground while completely immobilizing him. He struggled against it, but found it useless when he felt pressure on his back as two Outcasts pressed their spears against him. Mrs. Hofferson was about to go help Hiccup, but before she could someone grabbed her braid and yanked her back causing her to give out a yell as she tried to pry the mans hands from her hair, but the big Outcast wasn't letting go and just pulled harder making her yell even more

"Ah, don't be that way Ingrid," Alvin sneered, "You shouldn't spend too much energy trying to fight. You're going to need it for what I've got planned for you."

Alvin then turned to his troops with a look of victory on his face. "Take 'em to the ships lads!" He yelled. "We set sail for Outcast Island." Both Hiccup and Mrs. Hofferson exchanged worried glances as the Outcasts toke them back to their ships, wondering what Alvin had in store for them.

Back in the village Toothless laid lazily on the roof of the Haddock household while basking in the sun as he tried to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, sadly though the peace and quiet was ruined when he heard a high pitched scream above him and a loud and obnoxious laugh.

"Ah! Hookfang!" Snotlout screamed from on top of Hookfang as he flew around in the air on fire.

"Hahahahahaha!" Hookfang laughed as he did another barrel roll, "What's the matter Snotlout? Is your butt to hot?" Snotlout screamed again as he fell from his saddle and plummeted downwards to the village with his pants still on fire.

Toothless merely watched as the Viking boy landed in a cart full of apples and watched as Hookfang landed right by said cart while he still laughed. Rolling his eyes Toothless tried to go back to sleep, but was interrupted again when something slammed into the house causing him to jolt up and watch as Barf and Belch ran towards Hookfang and Snotlout with blankets over their heads as Tuffnut and Ruffnut tried to steer them.

Again Toothless watched as both sets of twins collided with Hookfang and Snotlout causing them to all get tangled up with each other. Toothless snorted while he jumped down from the roof of the house and landed in front of it as he looked at the scene before him.

"Are they messing around again?" Stormfly asked as she landed by Toothless.

Toothless merely nodded as Meatlug came by and landed on the other side of Toothless with Fishlegs riding her, but right when they landed Fishlegs instantly got off of her and ran towards the mess that was before them and tried to help which didn't really help at all.

"Hey Meatlug," Toothless warbled, "How has your day been?"

"Oh nothing special," Meatlug responded, "Just spending it with Fishlegs and sniffed a bunch of flowers."

Again Toothless nodded and went back to watching as Fishlegs tried to pull Tuffnut out of a barrel that he somehow ended up in with Belch pulling on Fishlegs trying to help him, but instead he pulled to hard causing Fishlegs to pull Tuffnut out with too much force causing the young man to be flung into the air as he screamed with joy before landing in another barrel full of fish.

"This is just an average day," Stormfly said causing the two dragons by her to look at her, "Not sure how this is all going to work out guys. These, Viking's don't really seem to like us very much and with all of this happening it's not really helping at all." They both nodded in agreement and watched as several villagers come by and shake their heads at the entire situation before them.

Pretty soon though, they were greeted with the presence of Astrid as she came walking to them and stood right by Stormfly while crossing her arms that were covered in mud with a rather unpleasant look on her face causing Stormfly to become a little bit concerned.

"You alright Astrid?" Stormfly asked.

Astrid rolled her eyes and let out a small growl. "Well the day with my dad just ended being a waste," She responded with a glare, "All we did was some chores and we never even talked to each other."

"Wait," Toothless said, "I thought you and Hiccup were supposed to spend the day with your parents together?"

"We were, but of course my mother had other plans," She responded as she gritted her teeth, "Who gives her the right to make all of the decisions? She is just so…. aggravating and controlling!" She said waving her hands in the air in frustration.

Toothless gave her a look and then looked at Stormfly and then Meatlug before looking back at her. "Is there something you want to talk about?" he asked while earning a confused look from her.

"No, why?" She responded.

The three dragons exchanged glances before looking back at her, but before they could respond someone cleared their throat from behind them causing them to all look back and see Gobber giving them a weird look. "I'm not sure what you are all trying to say, but I guess I never will." Gobber said as he waved it off.

"Gobber," Astrid said a little stunned from him being there, "How long have you been there?"

"Long enough to listen to you growl, hiss, and roar at the dragons, who in turn responded back to you." He said gesturing with his hand.

"Oh," Astrid responded not quite sure what to say next.

Gobber merely rolled his eyes and walked up to her. "Have you seen Hiccup?" He asked before he heard a cry from Snotlout causing him to look past Astrid and at the mess that was before him.

"No," Astrid said catching his attention, "Apparently, my 'dearest mother' had this ingenious idea that she wanted to spend the day with Hiccup, alone." She said as she lingered on the last word for a moment.

The old Blacksmith furrowed his brow and let out a sigh before he spoke again. "Well I guess we'll just have to wait till sun down to drag Hiccup to Gothi's after she's done with him." He finished with an irritated look.

"Gobber this is serious!" Astrid snapped.

"I was serious," He responded as he looked back at the scene before him to see that Snotlout had Tuffnut in a headlock with Ruffnut pulling on Snotlouts hair and Fishlegs pulling on her waist. Hookfang, Barf and Belch on the other hand seemed to square off with each other shouting, name calling and then just ended up fighting one with another. "I better go break that up." Gobber mulled over as he went over to stop the disaster that was before them.

Astrid shook her head and looked up to the sky pondering where Hiccup could be along with her mother. If her mother had done anything to Hiccup, be it physical harm or emotional she would give her a piece of her mind and that would be that, she didn't care anymore what her parents thought of her and she defiantly didn't care to listen to them. All they did was just getting her more upset with their questions and second guessing her every time she opened up her mouth, it was exhausting. "No," she thought to herself, "If they question me one more time I'm not talking to them and if they say anything about Hiccup, then I guess the Haddocks will have to make some room in their house."

But, before she thought about it any longer she noticed that the day was drawing to a close and that it would be night soon. For some odd reason she had this feeling in her gut that something was wrong, that something had happened to mother and Hiccup. She tried to deny it, but then she looked back at the darkening sky and once again thought that something had happened.

On a slightly burnt and destroyed ship sat Hiccup tied to the mast of the ship along with Mrs. Hofferson who was on the other side of said mast. The Outcasts had made sure that Hiccup was extra tied up and went as far as muzzling the young boy disabling his ability to breath fire and linking a ball and chain to his tail and feet.

Hiccup sat there contemplating on how things could get any worse as Mrs. Hofferson on the other hand was struggling against the ropes and shouting insults at the Outcasts who were going about doing their duties. Pretty soon though she succumb to the idea that she wasn't going to get loose and tried to see if Hiccup was still awake.

"Psssst! Hiccup!" She whispered.

"Mhm hmhn mhmhm," Hiccup responded.

"Good, you're awake," She let out a breath of relief before she started talking again. "Could you possibly use some of that dragon strength to break through the ropes?"

"Mumhmhm uhmmum." He said back.

"What do you mean you can't?" she fired back.

"Mhmumhm umhumhmm hmhmhuhmm hmhumhm!" He muffed loudly.

"So what, can't you use your claws to cut through?" She asked.

"Mhumhm mhummm mmhmum mmhm." He said.

"They covered them too?" She said, "Clever Outcasts."

"Mmmhumm hmummh mhumm?" he asked.

"No, I think we are on our own son," She said, "But we can't lose hope, there's always a way out."

"Mhumhmm mhmh?" he asked.

"I don't know, I haven't seen him," She answered back.

Before they could exchange another word a stomp came right by them causing them to look up and see Alvin with a wicked grin on his face as he came right over to where they were. "My my my," Alvin began as he inspected Hiccup from head to toe, "Who would've thought it eh? That Stoick's runt turned out to be some freak of nature." He laughed along with his men.

Alvin soon stopped laughing and then bowed down a bit so that he could look more closely at Hiccup's eyes and liked what he saw. "My, this is interesting." He said as he grabbed Hiccup's face and examined it even more. "Look at those eyes lads, eyes of a killer!" He bellowed.

Hiccup tried to fight off Alvin's hand, but to no avail. With all of his muffed shouting Mrs. Hofferson soon became more agitated and began to yell at the men. "Leave the child alone!" She yelled, "He doesn't have anything you would want!"

"Quiet!" One of Alvin's men named Savage said as he pointed a spear at her. "Or else I'll run you through with this!"

She struggled more against her restraints, but as soon as she felt the cold point of the spear on her throat she stopped. Alvin merely chuckled as he looked at Hiccup a little bit more before releasing his face and standing up to his full height as he continued to stare down at the small boy.

"You know boy it's not hard to see into someone and see the treachery they have committed." He said with an evil grin. "I should know, they don't call me Alvin the Treacherous for nothing!" He boomed with a laugh.

Hiccup shot him a glare and began to fight against his restraints and let off a deep muffled growl that caused most of the crew to go big eyed and step back a few feet, but not Alvin who just seemed to thrive off of the boys resistance and the glare that he was giving him just wanted him to poke more at the boy and see what else he could get out of the creature.

"Oh, does Stoick not know?" Alvin said as he circled around the mast and came up on the other side of Hiccup. "Did you run away and become this freak? Or did you bargain with a demon who gave you powers that even you can't control?" The young hybrid struggled more and let out more muffled growls as he tossed and turned. Alvin smirked and decided to go a little further figuring out that he had somehow hit a nerve in the boy and something else that Hiccup's people didn't know about.

Mrs. Hofferson turned her head to the right to see Hiccup thrashing more and wondered why he was reacting like this. When she asked him questions he didn't seem to have reacted to her like he was to Alvin, maybe it was because he knew Alvin was an enemy, but the boy was smart enough to know not to be baited by petty questions that weren't even true or maybe it was something that Alvin was saying that was triggering something in Hiccup causing him to act like this, either way it caused her to think more about it.

Alvin bent down again to Hiccup and saw the boy's eyes staring right back at him with hate. "Oh boy, you should know that people like us," Alvin said placing a hand over his chest then resting it on Hiccups. "Know each other better than anyone. Trust me when I say that I'm interested in how you became like this, but I'm even more interested in how the runt of Stoick became such a monster, tell me, how many people's lives have you ruined?"

Hiccup shook more causing a tremor to go throughout the boat causing some of the men to get more then nervous and began to grab on to anything to help stabilize them. Even Savage had to balance himself from falling over while Mrs. Hofferson looked more concern than ever.

"Hiccup," she thought, "Child, why are you acting like this?"

"Do you have any titles?" Alvin asked looking more into Hiccups eyes, "A man like yourself must have some titles, you know for all the villages you burned down and all the lives you ruined. Let's see…." He began as he scratched his chin.

"The Widow Maker?" He asked causing Hiccup to thrash more. "No? How about…. The Spawn of Death?" This only made Hiccup glare at him causing him to think more about it.

"Hiccup, "Alvin began, "The Deadly?"Hiccup struggled more.

"The Beast of the Night?" More struggling and growls came from Hiccup.

The Outcast leader stroked his beard some more and shrugged his shoulders before he turned to his crew to shout out orders. "Make haste lads," he bellowed, "We are on a tight schedule."

"We need to stop and repair though Alvin." Savage responded. "The ship is slowly taking on water from the dragon attack from earlier today." Alvin growled before looking at horizon, but not too long after was someone clearing their throat making him turn around to see who it was.

"There's an island not too far from here," Mrs. Hofferson said gaining his attention. "It's Dragon's island. You should be able to repair there."

"And why should I listen to you, Ingrid?" Alvin questioned.

"I really don't want to sink in the ocean, you boar headed fool." She said rolling her eyes.

Alvin gave her a glare before looking at his men and shouting at them to chart a course to the island. If it was a trap Alvin wasn't too concerned about it, he had hostages and when you have hostages you control everything. He toke one more look back at the seething boy then he looked back at the island that was approaching them with a wicked grin on his face.

Once they arrived on the island the crew began to make much needed repairs on their ship while Hiccup and Mrs. Hofferson were kneeling on the beach still tied up and being guarded by some of Alvin's men, who had their weapons at the ready while their leader stood a little bit away from them not taking his eyes from them as he ordered his men around.

Mrs. Hofferson gave Hiccup a sympathetic look as the young man stared out at the ship with a look of anger on his face, a furrowed brow and seemed to be trying to control his breathing. The older woman tried to silently scoot over to where Hiccup was without the guards noticing and tried to get his attention by whispering.

"Hiccup," she whispered grabbing his attention. His features went soft as he stared down into her eyes and his breathing became more relaxed much to her relief. "Hey, we're going to be ok, alright. We just have to figure out a way to get out of here without them noticing."

Hiccup stared at her for a moment longer before he turned his eyes back on the ship, then on Alvin. He kept his gaze on him for a little while longer till he closed his eyes and dropped his head as if he was defeated.

"Hey, don't be that way." She said scooting closer to him. "He doesn't know what he was talking about. You're no killer or monster. You're just a child and a sweet one at that and from what my daughter tells me about you is that you're the best person in the entire world."

He looked up at her once more before putting his head down again and began to shake it causing her eyes to go wide. "Hiccup, you can't seriously agree with him can you?" She began causing him to look up at her. She looked into his eyes and saw something that told her something was defiantly wrong as his eyes looked like ones of sadness as if he was guilty of something.

Before she could go on and comfort him some more, Alvin came up and looked down at the two before him with a frown on his face. "This is taking a bit longer then I've expected," He replied as he toke a knee and looked more into Hiccup's eyes, "Shall we continue our talk 'Iccup?"

"Leave him alone," Mrs. Hofferson glowered, "Torturing a child is an all time low, even for you Alvin."

"Shut it Ingrid," Alvin growled, "Wasn't talking to you."

"Well now you are," She said defensively as she scooted right in front of Hiccup putting her between him and Alvin as she glared at the man before them. "You will not torture him anymore."

"Compassion on the freak Ingrid?" Alvin mocked. "You were always the weak one."

"Compassion is not weakness Alvin," She spat, "It is way higher than your cowardly ways!"

"My, is your daughter as pathetic as you?" Alvin teased causing her to snarl at him, "You were always weird, along with Valka!"

He yelled as he backhanded her across the face causing her to scream while sending her flying into the dirt beside them. Hiccup's eyes went wide before he looked back at Alvin and began to struggle more against his restraints causing the large man to be overjoyed that he got a reaction from the boy, but his joy soon turned to shock as the boy's eyes turned red and the ropes around his body began to snap.

The Guards pointed their spears at him, but they were flicked away by his tail that also flung the ball and chain as well while Hiccup extended his claws further causing the coverings they put on them to pop off as he reached down and broke apart the chains on his feet and his tail.

Alvin then watched as Hiccup stood to his full height and with one final snap his wings broke free and spread open as he gazed menacingly down at the Outcast leader as he reached up to the muzzle around his mouth and ripped it off. Shaking his head Alvin got out of his shock and pulled out a hammer before giving off a yell as he engaged Hiccup.

Mrs. Hofferson struggled against her restraints and luckily for her she found a knife on the ground that had dropped from one of the guards and managed to use it to break herself free. Once freed, she got up and picked up a sword as she engaged the oncoming Outcast soldier's that were heading their way. Her sword collided that of Savage's causing the two to then fight with each other as Outcast soldier's flooded past them to engage Hiccup, who at the time was having a hard time fighting off Alvin.

Alvin swung his hammer again at Hiccup making him use his arms to block the blow and keep himself from crying out as he heard a crack that came from it. He could heal himself with his magic, but he was in such a fit of rage that all other thoughts left his mind as he tried to take another sweep at Alvin only to have the oversized man to dodge it and throw the hammer at Hiccup.

Deflecting the hammer Hiccup tried to engage Alvin again, but found himself surrounded by Outcasts causing him to try and fight them off, but there was so many of them that he was about to be overwhelmed and when someone kicked his left leg he collapsed to the ground and was staring up into Alvin's eyes as the man held an ax to his throat.

"Face it runt of Berk," Alvin teased him with another title, "You are clearly no match for me."

Hiccup looked back up at him and soon he felt the moons light upon his back as the night began to cover them. His eyes glowed red and without even hesitation he instantly grabbed Alvin by the throat and lifted him up in the air causing Mrs. Hofferson and Savage to stop their fighting and gasp along with everyone else.

"I am not the runt of Berk," Hiccup said with a deep growl instead of his usual nasally voice, "I am The Dread of the Night!" He roared as he threw Alvin into some of his men.

"People hear my name and tremble!" He roared as the Outcast soldier's snapped out of their shock and began to charge him.

Hiccup was preparing to fire at them, but a roar from above caught his attention making him look up to see his friends and family flying to them in the night sky. He was so stunned by this that he didn't notice Alvin running up to him before it was too late as the Outcast landed a punch right into Hiccup's jaw completely knocking him down to the ground.

"Little runt," Alvin breathed. His victory was short lived though once he heard Stoick yelling from a ship that was approaching them ordering the dragon riders and another hybrid, to fire upon his ship and get Hiccup and Mrs. Hofferson out of there.

His men tried to fire at the riders, but they couldn't get them and pretty soon their ship was sinking and then they were being fired upon by the dragons and their riders. Alvin growled, but before he knew it he felt a punch connecting with his face from Mrs. Hofferson sending him flying into the dirt as she gave him a victorious look.

"That's for back handing me," she spat before she went over to help Hiccup.

She lifted him up and put his left arm around her shoulders as he groaned. With his eyes back to normal he looked around and saw that there were dragons everywhere and his father yelling up a storm from a ship. He then looked down to see Mrs. Hofferson and gave a shy look before he stared at the ground.

"Ah, sorry about that," he said as she led him over to the ship, "I…. I have a lot of explaining to do."

"Explain later," she responded, "I'm just glad you're safe."

"Are you going to tell them?" Hiccup asked worriedly as they began to board the ship with his father's help.

"Don't worry Hiccup, your secret is safe with me," She responded with a smile, "But I want you to explain to me later about what that was all about."

"Thank you Mrs. Hofferson." Hiccup said with a smile.

"Please, call me Ingrid." She replied.

No sooner where they sailing off from the island leaving behind Alvin and his Outcasts with the dragon riders above them in the air while Gobber and Stoick where on the ship with them. Before they could say anything though Astrid landed on the ship and quickly ran to Hiccup enveloping him in a hug.

"Hiccup," She said, "I was so worried about you!"

"How were you able to find us?" Hiccup asked.

She stepped back a bit, but still kept him in a hug as she looked up into his eyes with a smile. "Once you and mom where gone too long, we began to look for you," she said, "We found some tracks in the forest and some weapons and then went out to find you guys. After some searching we saw the ship that you guys were being held prisoner on and then we followed it to the island."

She then turned to her mother and glared. "I told you this would be a bad idea to separate us."

"Feeling the love daughter," her mother replied with a sigh.

Back on the island Alvin stood up and looked out at the ship and the dragons. "They ride dragons," He said dumbfounded before he began to laugh causing his men to give him confused looks, "We get that boy, then we will ride dragon!" He laughed more as his men began to catch on and join in his laughter as they all began to look out at the Dragon Riders.

This one feels a little rushed, but I made sure there wasn't any spelling errors and stuff like that. So hopefully it turns out ok. If this update felt a little slow guys sorry, but from the mouth of another writer, "Quality over Quantity." I'm trying to make sure the stories can be read by reviewing it again and again to make sure it flows right and it all makes sense.

Thanks again for supporting me and I think next chapter I'm going to add in another flashback.

Y'all are amazing!
