"Errgh!" Jack grimaced in pain as he gently coated his hand in ice and lowered it to his wound to try and dull the nasty burns. "Hiccup," he muttered, more feeling worried than he was angry or hurt. He couldn't have believed that Pitch would try and sink so low as to turn the gentle, caring, and loyal Dragon Master evil.
"Lay still, Jack," Rapunzel soothed him. "As soon as the burns stop, I'll have my hair heal you."
"Thanks, Punzie," Jack grinned painfully, leaning upwards to kiss her. Rapunzel greatly returned the kiss.
Merida's heart slowly reduced to a low beat, slowing down with sorrow. She began to think about the times she and Hiccup had kissed. His kisses were full of love and gentleness, causing to worry about what his kisses would be now. Possibly out of disgust and lust by the way he'd leered at her now.
"Jack!" a familiar voice called out through the toy factory. Appearing from behind the entrance to the factory were North, Bunnymund, Sandman, and Toothiana.
"North!" Jack cried out, struggling not to move too much with the wound that was still healing.
"What happened?" Tooth asked worriedly.
"Pitch," Rapunzel said, lowering her eyes in sorrow. "And Hiccup."
"Hiccup?" Bunnymund asked, pricking his ears up in shock. Sandy's eyes widened in horror. Tooth had to lower herself against a toy-making desk for support. North's belly rumbled – and not in a good way either. "How?"
"He became Pitch's slave," Jack whispered, unable to keep the horror out of his voice. "He almost killed Toothless. He almost killed me."
"Toothless?" Tooth asked, covering her mouth in horror.
Toothless gave her a growl of worry, rubbing his head against her side. Though Hiccup had tried to end his life, he still considered him a friend. After all, if Hiccup could rescue him from the evil Alpha's control, why couldn't he rescue Hiccup's from Pitch's manipulation?
"We'll save him, Toothless," Bunnymund assured the dragon, gently stroking him on the head. Feeling a little bit better, Toothless moaned in slight comfort.
"Where is he . . . and Pitch?" Rapunzel asked, glancing at the globe. "They could be anywhere."
"Think," Merida told them, causing all of them to look at her. "If I were Pitch, I'd want to spread fear to all. I'd want to cause so much heartache that it would impact towards one person. I'd want that heartache to come from one person . . . one small person . . . one child-" Her sky blue eyes widened in realization as she knew where Pitch and Hiccup were, muttering a word in anger. "Crap."
I'm sorry about all of the short chapters. :{
