Chapter 4, unveiling the mystery

The following night

Hiccup sneaked out of the house to Fishlegs house, as he was walking there, there was no sound but the sound of his shoe and the clanging of his peg leg, a gust of wind howled through the village in the night, some villagers could be heard snoring from their much needed sleep of the day, as Hiccup neared Fishleg's house, clanging of objects could be heard and the shouting of Fishlegs and his father arguing about snooping about the Jorgenson family, Fishlegs burst through the front door with Hiccup agape, Fishlegs raised a brow and said 'What?'

Hiccup slowly replied 'Why did you tell your dad that we were going to snoop out Snotlouts house?'

Fishlegs replied after sighing 'I just want people to know where I'm going so I don't they don't get worried'

A female viking voice replied from behind 'Don't want them to get worried or afraid?'

The duo looked behind to see Astrid, Hiccup sighed and said 'Why do you sneak up on people?'

Astrid smiled and said with a small chuckle 'When I want to or when I need to, now why are you going to sneak into the Jorgensons house?'

Hiccup replied quickly 'Astrid please don't tell any' just then he was cut off with Astrid asking 'Can I join?'

Hiccup sighed and said 'Fine but don't tell the twins'

Astrid replied 'You know I won't'

Hiccup inhaled and exhaled deeply before saying 'Okay now the reason why as everyone knows is we are sneaking in the Jorgenson clans house is to find something that might shed some light on Snotlouts beha' before Hiccup finished his speech a viking teen could be heard coming near saying 'Let's go Hookfang, time to bring this to the boss for phase two' the trio quickly hid behind the corner of Fishlegs house to see Snotlout walking past with something in hand and Hookfang following.

Fishlegs said 'Shouldn't we follow him' Hiccup shushed Fishlegs before saying 'No, we stick to the plan' they got out of hiding and started their walk to Snotlouts house, when they arrived Hiccup stood against the wall and put his ear to the wall, the house was silent so he turned to the group and asked 'So the house is silent inside and it doesn't seem there is anyone inside, probably Snotlouts parents are in the great hall, how are we going to get in?'

Astrid walked to the front door so Hiccup and Fishlegs followed, she pointed at it and said 'This way'

Hiccup laughed and said 'Nice one Astrid but they most probably locked the door'

Astrid took a step forward to the knob and turned it to hear the creak of the door opening, Hiccup raised a brow and said embarrassed 'Oh, its opened' He sighed after hearing Astrid chuckle and followed her into the house, they slowly went upstairs and saw Snotlouts room in a mess, clothes, weapons and other things lying on the floor, Astrid spoke up 'This place is a mess'

Fishlegs replied 'Ya, no kidding'

Hiccup nodded and said before turning to the small group 'Okay guys, let's start by looking for something to give us a clue what is wrong with Snotlout'

Astrid replied 'How can you be so sure that he is planning for betrayal or treachery?' Fishlegs looked around the room before spotting a box in the corner of the room, cloaked by cloth but easy to spot in the current lighting, he took off the cloak to only leave him surprised but scared at what he saw, he turned to the group and said 'Guys' repeatedly while Hiccup replied 'I just know it, these past few days he hasn't been acting himself' he turned to Fishlegs and said annoyed 'What is it Fishlegs?' Fishlegs replied 'You guys have to see this' pointing at the box. Hiccup and Astrid neared but were soon too surprised that they saw that the box had the Berserkser sign on it, Hiccup mumbled 'Dagur'

Just then footsteps could be heard entering the house and so they quickly climbed onto the horizontal pillars but Fishlegs couldn't hoist himself up so Hiccup and Astrid watched from above as the figure climbed the final step to reveal that it was Snotlout, Snotlout looked at Fishlegs and in a quick pace walked up to him and spat 'what are you doing here?'

Fishlegs looked away in fright before saying 'To ask you something'

Snotlout huffed 'What is it?'

Fishlegs replied 'Why is your room like this?'

Snotlout sarcastically said 'Because I like it like that' before shouting 'Now get out of the house, Fishlegs ran down the stairs and out the door. Snotlout sighed before turning to the box in the corner before he too made his way down the stairs to the door, footsteps couldn't be heard anymore so Hiccup and Astrid climbed down and quickly made their way downstairs and to the door, as they ran out then came to a halt, Hiccup said 'That was close'

Astrid replied 'Ya, it was...so what should we do now?'

Hiccup said after looking left and right 'Keep a low profile and don't try to give any clues to Snotlout, we can't have him know, I will figure out what to do later'

Astrid nodded and they left back to their respected homes like it never happened but kept their guard just in case they were followed.
