Hiccup picked the last blueberry on that bush. Maybe that will keep Snotlout from whining, he thought. "OK little fellas, I gotta go," hiccup bent over to say goodbye to two monstrous nightmare babies. They snapped and peeped at hiccup. "OK hah, I'll see you later too," hiccup started walking. No wonder he didn't have a girlfriend four years ago.
As he was walking, he noticed how dark it was getting. Gosh, he thought, I must have been quite a while. It just shows you how long training two baby dragons who were trying to scorch and kill you can take. He then heard dragon cries, and saw a deep yellow blaze far away. Maybe it was just some more baby dragons. Or the group lighting a fire? Well that's the place he left them all. He shook his head and carried on trekking through the forest. As he started to get closer, the dragon screeches had stopped and there was no more hazy yellow coming from there. What in Thor's name was going on?
"Astrid?" Hiccup shouted. He was approaching the clearing. "Ruffnut? Tuffnut! Are you getting everyone to play a trick on me?" Hiccup wanted to get to the bottom of this weirdness. He started to walk faster. He got closer and closer, and he couldn't see anyone there. He stumbled into the clearing. Everyone was gone.
"Yeah, very funny you guys, you can come out now." Hiccup turned around on the spot to try and see them in the surrounding forest. Hiccup paused. Fishlegs would have never agreed to play a trick on him. Even if they were hiding, they would have came out now. Plus toothless would have bounded up to hiccup to greet him.
"Hello?" Hiccup hopelessly spoke. He sat down on the rock that Snotlout was sitting on before he left. He rubbed his head and looked at the ground. There were scorch marks in the dirt. He frowned and noticed some other marks too, deep ridges in the dirt, made by feet or something being dragged. The dragons, hiccup thought. He got up and looked at the dirt, and followed the marks. He saw something on the ground and picked it up. It was one of toothless' scales.
"What the..." Hiccup looked up. He was in front of the other end of the clearing. He could clearly see branches and twigs cracked. Who ever did this obviously had to put up with a lot of angry dragons, he thought. Claw marks were laced on the mud thought the forest. Hiccup then followed the tracks into the forest, but he couldn't see them. Its too dark, he thought. If only toothless were here he could light a fire. What had happened to everyone?
A low snuffle bought his attention. The two baby dragons were to the right of him. That's lucky, he thought.
"Hey, can I have a favour?" Hiccup bent down and scratched one of them on the chin.
"Where is he?!" Stoick demanded.
"Stoick, your gunna hurt yourself," Gobber said.
"Stoick, Snotlout is'nt here either. Neither are and of the teens," Spitelout replied.
A small group of vikings had gathered near Gobber's house. They were just as equally worried about it as Stoick was.
"That boy," Stoick was pacing up and down. "That boy is going to be the death of me! And himself!"
"Now, he may have disobeyed what you asked him not to do, but who's not to say he's going to do the same as yesterday and come back?" Gobber suggested.
"But Gobber, that was when I was talking to him and he went off in a mood. This time he's gone off in a mood because we had an argument!" Stoick said.
The vikings all looked at each other and grimaced.
"Well, I propose we make a plan. We wait, see if he comes back, and by tomorrow morning if he's not back, a few of us take our dragons and go look for him, alright?" Gobber said. The other vikings murmured in agreement.
"Fine. But I still want a few Hooligans to search around Berks' forest. Spitelout, take a few men to go check in the cove as well." Spitleout nodded and a few men followed him off.
"Now, Stoick, if we do find him and the others... You won't be to harsh, will you?" Gobber held into his hammer hand with his other hand.
Stoick just replied by looking at Gobber. "Oh dear..." Gobber whispered to grump.
