Hey guys... sorry about that Roman thing last chapter :/ and I am trying to post some chapters while I can because I am going to Chicago this week so yeah. Anyway onto chapter 3:

It was cold, dark, and wet. He was in a cave. He could easily make out the figures of Catherine (cat), Jack, and Jake. They were all sitting by a fire. But... where was Thane... or Toothless? He looked around the cave and noticed a small pool of blood strangely close to him. Then he remembered. Something happened to Thane... that blood was from his neck. But what about Toothless? He tried crawling over to the fire but when he moved he saw something. It was dark blue. Sitting in the back of the cave. It was hunched up like a... dragon. He kept crawling moving across the cave floor inch by inch. When he got close enough to the fire he tried to speak. All he could mumble out was a measly "Guys?"

~~~Back in the woods of Berk~~~

Astrid's POV

It was around 8 or 9 at night. I couldn't tell. I was just walking around in the forest, minding my own business. I still haven't gotten over that dumb note. "When I return. Everything changes." "Ugh what does it mean?" I was currently staring at my feet just blindly walking. Then out of nowhere, I heard a scream. It was close. Really close. I turned to my right, nothing. Turned to my left, nothing. I slowly kept walking in the direction it came from when I heard something else. It was a girl. She sounded my age. She was screaming something over, and over. Then it hit me. She was saying that name. The name of the boy who haunted me. "Hiccup". I ran.

~~~The cave~~~

Jake's POV

"Guys?" We all turned around at that voice. He was alive! He was still alive! How, don't ask me. "Hiccup!" "You're awake!" "Come on man get over here by the fire you look like you're freezing." Silence. He wasn't moving. Just sitting there staring at us with the slightest tilt of his head to the right, well my left. "Where's Thane?" I pointed it was all I could do. Thane never told us he was cursed. If he got to mad, he transformed into that...thing in the corner of the cave. But what about hiccup? Thane bit him so why doesn't hiccup have the mark? The mark! "Hiccup take off your shirt." "What?!" "Jake, you are wrong man!" "Shut up!" "Why would I do that? I'm freezing as it is!" "The mark." He took off his shirt but... it was there. That damned mark. His neck. It had the mark. Two holes. Hiccup was cursed too. "Hiccup... you're cursed you have the mark... Thane bit you." "WHAT!? How am I cursed?! What happened while i was out!? How long was I out?!" "Hiccup SHUT UP!" we all turned to see Thane stand up and grab his head and say... "It hurts" Then he fainted.

~~~Stoick's house~~~

Stoick's POV

It was around 9. I was sitting by the fire just poking the fire with a metal rod, when i heard a rather frantic knock at the door.I got up and slowly walked to the door careful not to crush whatever is in my way, being the giant I am. I opened the door and Astrid rushed in. She was talking but I couldn't understand her. She was sweating and panting like she ran a million miles without stopping. She was talking fast. All I could understand were "Chief... Woods...ran...now" "Whoa, whoa there lass, take it easy!" she walked over and sat down on the bench Hiccup made 9 years ago. "Now, what were you sayin'?" "I was... walking in the woods... when I heard a scream... I looked around and kept walking when... I heard a girl... screaming... "Hiccup"... so I ran back...here." "Are you sure that's what you heard?" "Yes." "Ok, go get Gobber and tell him to organise a search party." After she ran out the door I nearly fainted. "Son..."

~~~The woods of Berk~~~

It was dark. Almost all the people in the village were in the forest looking for one thing. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third. Everyone in the cave was trying to wake Thane up after he fainted. Of course when they woke him up, Jack was shaking him like a madman. It happened so fast nobody knew what happened until Thane was crouched over Jack's body, apologising. Jack was rolling on the floor saying "Oh! I am hurt! I am very much hurt!" Then he sat up and took his hands off his face. Thane had punched him. Hard. His nose was crooked, his jaw was slanted and his face was pretty dang bloody. Both his eyes were already black and he looked bad. "Thane!" "Dude." "Why did you punch my brother man... although I have to admit, he looks pretty stupid now." "It was an accident guys I-I swear!" "Yeeeeeaaaaaah..." "Aw come on man I'm sorry." "Sorry's not gonna cut it! My face is all bloody and broken!" Silence. They just couldn't hold it back anymore. Everyone except Jack started laughing. Hiccup was rolling on the floor clutching his sides while everybody else was just laughing pointing at his face. Then the sound of footsteps made them all get their weapons out and ready to strike. "Hiccup?"
