Ch-17 Escape from the "Secret Place"…
The other morning, we were again awoken by the screeches of the birds. 'Seriously, they have to do this again!' said Phillip. 'Nothing's more horrible than not being able to put powder on your face in such cold and humid climate!' said Dick. 'Dick, you better shut up know or I'm gonna smash your face!' said Thomas. 'Whoa, man, take it easy,' said Snotlout. 'I will not take it easy! We have just one more day to live and that day also ruined by his useless talk about his face and his powder!' replied Thomas with an angry face.
That was the first time I saw him so angry (First time after the time William touched Anna, that is). 'What's the matter, dude?' I asked. 'Nothing!' replied Thomas. Dick was on the verge of crying! What had happened that got Thomas so angry? Again, one of the Outcasts came with a plate in his hand. 'Who was that shouting?! Scared us away a good catch of birds!'
We all exchanged looks. Before Thomas could confess, Snotlout said 'I did,' 'You've got some nerve all of a sudden, don't you?!' he replied. 'I haven't got it all of a sudden. It was there but I didn't show it!' Snotlout replied. The Outcast took out something and started hitting Snotlout mercilessly and Snotlout took all of it! 'That should teach you!' said the Outcast and went away. We were all awestruck. 'Why did you do it?' asked Thomas. 'Friends help friends don't they?' said Snotlout. 'Not after meeting them just before one day though,' said Astrid. 'All I know about you is wrong!' I said. 'Well, no one really knows me,' he replied.
Then, my last night came. 'Sorry for being so much trouble' I said. 'Why?' asked Hiccup. 'It is all because of me that you all are here,' I replied. We couldn't talk much after that. We just went to sleep. Alice said 'Sleep tight, this could be your last night,' which again made us want to cry.
After sometime, Hiccup woke me up. I sat up seeing that everyone was awake and Ronald and Thomas had got something dark under their chin. 'What…' I was beginning to say when Thomas said 'Not a word,' Anna and Alice started giggling. When I asked them why, she said 'Hiccup woke up Thomas and Ronald at first and told them to wake Astrid and Astrid gave a kick to both of them' I laughed like a mad person.
Suddenly, an Outcast comes and says 'Why are you laughing! And what are you doing waking up so late at the night?' Hiccup said 'This is our last night so I thought we could have some fun!' 'No fun! Go to sleep!' said the Outcast and went. 'Now, why have you woken us so late at night?' asked Thomas. 'Remember when I said that there must be a well leading to the secret place?' he asked me. 'Ya,' I replied. I was thinking about it and I realized whether there was some secret door here that would lead us to the well!' he said, 'And after searching the room thoroughly I found that there is a secret door above that chest!' said Hiccup. We were awestruck, 'Why didn't this idea come to me?' asked Snotlout. 'Because you don't have a brain!' said Astrid. 'This is no time to be fighting! Let's get out while we still can!' said Hiccup.
We all climbed the chest and went out and saw a 5 feet drop below us. We saw steps that would lead us to the top of the well and we climbed it. We cautiously went, making sure that nobody could see us. We went to the place we left our dragons and to my surprise; I saw they were still there! 'Anna, you come with me. Astrid, take Alice. Tuffnut and Ruffnut, take Donald and Ronald. Fishlegs take Dick and Snotlout take Phillip,' I said. They all did as instructed and we flew off. 'That was quite an escape,' said Hiccup.
