Toothless' head was all fuzzy. He had been pinned to the ground and then stuffed in a net. Not the best thing for a 45 foot wingspan energetic dragon who has been taken hostage. He growled and tossed himself around in the netting to try and slow down the two vikings dragging him. He snook his front legs out of the net and dragged them on the floor, digging his claws into the dirt. It worked.
"Stop moving dragon!" One of them shouted. Toothless growled. He snapped at the viking. He would blow a mighty fire ball at him, but his six shots were out. He thought the other dragons would blow a fuse too, but it seems they were all out.
"Why are we slowing down?" Dagur stopped everyone and moved towards toothless.
"This dragon, sir. He's moving around in his net." One said.
"Ahh, Toothless is it?" Dagur bent over. "Hiccups beloved dragon, the last Night Fury?"
Toothless hissed at the deranged man.
"Hey, leave him alone!" Astrid snapped. The viking holding her pulled her back.
"You dare speak to me that way?" Dagur looked at Astrid. He bent back over and looked at toothless."You better watch your mouth," He said.
"Oh yeah?" Ruffnut said. She looked at Tuffnut.
"So should you!" Tuffnut, who happened to be right next to Toothless' net, jolted his foot right into Dagurs backside. He fell over head first, and all of the teenagers laughed, including their dragons. Toothless noticed some guards laugh as well.
Dagur got up. He was fuming.
"What's wrong Dagur? Dragon bit your backside?" Snotlout snorted. Everyone was still laughing.
"How dare you! I am Dagur the deranged! I have you captured, and you think this is some kind of game?!" He spun around to each of the vikings. The dragons giggled at his bright red face.
"We usually make everything into a game." Ruffnut said. She grinned at Tuffnut.
"Be quiet!" Dagur growled. "You wait. You won't be laughing soon enough." He started walking again. Everyone followed.
Fishlegs looked at Astrid in a worried way. They didn't even know why Dagur wanted them captured. They were all too afraid to ask.
Hiccup held up the torch. Thanks to the baby dragons he could now continue. But he didn't know if he wanted to. What happened to everyone? Is Astrid OK? What about toothless? If they were in danger, Fishlegs and Meatlug wouldn't hold out very well... He shook his head again.
"Thanks guys. I'll see you later," Hiccup started to follow the tracks. There were plenty of foot prints, most of them being big fat ones. More vikings? Maybe it was dad... Maybe he came looking for me? And they wouldn't tell them were I was but they went home. Dad wouldn't leave though... If toothless was on the island, he know I would be too.
More claw marks appeared as he got further. They stopped suddenly and a big ditch was there. A dragon was laying down. There was also another big mound in the dirt. Some one fell over here... Hiccup saw something shiny. It was one of the spikes off of Astrid's skirt. He suddenly got really worried. Someone's taken them, he thought. Why else would there be scratch marks? A scale? And a bit of Astrid's skirt and about thirty pairs of footprints along the ground?
"Astrid!" Hiccup shouted. "Toothless!" He started running, following the tracks but mostly concentrating on what was in front of him. His heartbeat got faster and he was beginning to get really really worried now. His mind was creating stories or possibilities of what could have happened. Right now he wish he didn't have any imagination.
Something stopped him and he squinted. He saw another light glowing. Voices and footsteps moving away from him. He listened.
"You need to learn to shut your mouth!" Someone said.
"Sorry but I'm a slow learner," He heard another one say. He recognised the second voice. He quietly moved forward to see if he could hear better.
"Right, that's it!" The first voice said.
"Hey, its not my fault I'm not as smart as you," the second choice spoke again. Was that... Tuffnut?
"Romath, no killing." Another familiar voice said. Hiccup got even more closer. He began to see body shapes against the lights.
"But sir, he's so annoying!" The first voice said.
"It's in his nature," Another voice said. Ruffnut? He slowly raised his head over a bush. There they were. Everyone, all of the dragons too. In nets? His friends being held back by other vikings?
"Well we've had enough delays as it is already! We have to get back to the ship to get to base!" A figure behind Fishlegs said. He stepped out do hiccup could see him.
Dagur. He should have known. The grinning viking looked around. Fishlegs saw something glint in the corner of his eye. Hiccups armour. He looked directly to where hiccup was and his mouth dropped wide open. Hiccup pushed his finger against his lip to signal Fishlegs to be quiet.
"Hiccup!" Fishlegs blurted out. Hiccup slapped his face.
"What?" Dagur looked st Fishlegs.
"Er.. I mean, what have you done with Hiccup?" Fishlegs said. Hiccup crouched down lower.
"What? I haven't seen him!" Dagur snapped. "I want to know where he is though. If he's still around, then there's a chance he'll know his Night Fury is missing and he'll come looking... What to do... Oh, I know. We'll go looking for him instead!"
"Are you sure that's a good idea sir? Going to Berk could-"
"Yes yes I know what it could do. But if we find Hiccup, then we can kill him. We can kill Stoick too, take over Berk and have the dragons all to ourselves!" Dagur laughed.
Hiccup let out a gasp. This wasn't good.
"Don't you dare touch him!" Astrid shouted and struggled against the mans grip.
Dagur turned around to face Astrid. He squinted. "Hiccup means something to you does he? Best friend? Or... Boyfriend?" Dagur laughed again and got closer to Astrid and touched her chin. "This will be fun."
Hiccup felt his worry leave him. Anger suddenly boiled up in him like a night fury's fire. He wanted to burst and run over to Dagur and end it all there. But he then caught the gaze of Fishlegs. He was looking at hiccup, he could see the anger on his face. Fishlegs gave a little shake of his head.
"Get off of me!" Astrid kicked Dagur right in the shin. He fell over once again, but nobody laughed this time since Dagur looked even more angry.
"I've had it!" Dagur got up and raced towards Astrid. Stormfly growled and struggled in the net. Before Dagur reached Astrid, a guard interrupted.
"Sir, I think there are dragons nearby. Shouldn't we get back?"
Dagur gritted his teeth. "I'll deal with you when I get back. You as well!" Dagur pointed at Astrid and Tuffnut.
"Hey! Mine was a joke!" Tuffnut said.
The idiotic possie started to walk again. Hiccup followed them, as quietly as he could. He didn't want to get noticed by any other of the group, not even toothless, so he just stayed near Fishlegs and crouched down as far as he could.
