Chapter 5
Went Missing

On the third day since the Haddock household got infested by the mysterious disease, both RJ and Hiccup were still infected but alive. Stoick had to sleep at the great hall since his home was surrounded by giants called Army Blockers and the giants lived up to their name.

They still don't know how the disease can instantly transmit from one victim to another. Their only clue was when RJ entered the house. They also don't know how it came and where but their main objective was finding the cure to this disease.

The finding for cure was still ongoing and the Army Medics weren't going to give up. They worked days and nights to find the cure but even until now they had no succeed. But they managed to find a herb that calmed down the disease. RJ and Hiccup coughed and puked lesser because of the herbs but that doesn't mean that they were cured.

Astrid was worried as Hel as her boyfriend got infected by an unknown disease while got stuck in his home that surrounded by celestial giants. The closest place she could get to the Haddock household was beside on of the Army Blockers. An Army Blocker was stunned that she curled up beside him just to get close to her boyfriend.

Despite her worry and concerns, the Army Blockers still won't let her pass because they afraid that she will get infected by the disease. As she curled up beside on of the Army Blocker, the ground shook as Commander approached her and knelt down beside her.

"You have been staying here since the day the disease came to the household, Astrid Hofferson," Commander softly said to her as she looked up to him. "What is bothering you?"

"Well, my boyfriend got infected by a deadly disease that still doesn't have a cure for it. He's in his house with Ralph and giant aliens treating them while the house is surrounded by also giant aliens that doesn't let any living thing pass through. So yeah, I don't know what's bothering me," she replied sarcastically, noting that Hiccup had been rubbing off on her.

"You do not have to worry that much, Astrid Hofferson. The Army Medics are working their hard on finding a cure for your mate and they are gentle with him so you do not have to worry. As for us, we just want to be sure that nobody else will get infected by this unknown disease"

"I just want to hear his voice again," Astrid replied as she buried her head in her knees. Commander looked at her for a moment before he stiffened for a moment and raised a hand over his heart. Blinking, he looked back at the house and then back to her.

"Come," he urged her as looked at the Army Blockers, silently told them to part away which they complied without complaining. Astrid looked up at the giant who held out a giant hand to her. "Come," he urged again.

When she took his hand, she yelped in surprise as he swiftly picked her up and placed her on his massive shoulder. Commander brought her to the high window of the Haddock household. Hope began to bubble inside Astrid as she was brought to the window.

"What ever you do, do not open the window by any cause," Commander warned her as he removed her from his shoulder and placed her on the roof near the window. He doesn't even stand on his toes since he was just too tall.

"Are you saying…?" Astrid looked at him, hopeful in her eyes. Commander answered her unvoiced question.

"You may speak to him as you wish to," he answered. Taking a deep breath, Astrid leaned closer to the closed window.

"Hiccup?" she heard some shuffling coming from inside.

On the inside, RJ was sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall as he along with Hiccup had difficulty in breathing. When he heard Astrid's voice desperately calling for Hiccup, he immediately stood up and went to the bed where Hiccup laid down.

"Hiccup, young lad, your love wish – desperately – to speak with you," he gently picked Hiccup up and brought him to the closed window. Hiccup was too weak to stand so RJ leaned him against the wall under the window, making the bell on his wrist gorgeously rang.

"Astrid?" Hiccup spoke in a hoarse voice. RJ left him to speak with his love and went to an Army Medic that stayed in the room.

"Hiccup! Oh, I missed you," Hiccup could hear sobs coming from outside as he sat down on the floor. He could feel his cheeks wet with his tears.

"I missed you too," he really does. He really missed her touch, her smell, her voice, her everything. He could hear Astrid sniffed and held back another sob.

"How are you doing?" she asked, missing his voice.

"Well, apart from getting infected by a deadly disease, I'm fine," Hiccup sarcastically replied, earning a sad laugh from Astrid. "How are you doing?"

"Apart for desperately missing my boyfriend who got infected by a deadly disease, I'm fine," She replied sarcastically, now earning a laugh from Hiccup.

They both hadn't been laughed for the past three days. They talked with each other for a while, having some catch up to do. One might say that way. They even managed to flirt with one another.

Hiccup suddenly coughed violently as same as RJ do. Hiccup heard scuffles coming from outside.

"Hiccup!" he heard Astrid yelled in concerns. Even through his violent coughing, he managed to imagine Astrid's face filled with worries and concerns. He managed to make a small smile on his face. It was barely noticeable but it was there.

Back outside on the roof near the window, Astrid sat up and leaned closer to the window, tears spilled again as she heard Hiccup coughed violently again and then throwing up.

She just sat there on the roof, doing nothing but hearing her love fighting for his life. She had never felt this helpless in her life. She always had been on his side all the time, even when he first walked with his new leg. But today, she did nothing but doing nothing.

"You have to leave, Astrid Hofferson," Commander came and gently picked her up like a child. She tried to pry his hands open but he didn't even budge a bit.

"But Hiccup!" she protested as she tried to reach out for the window over Commander's shoulder.

"It is better for you to leave rather than hearing your mate suffering," Commander softly replied. He brought her away from the household as he passed the Army Blockers and gently set her down.

"Hiccup," she whispered as she looked back at the house that held her love, tears still spilling.

"Again, I said, do not worry about your mate. We all are guarantee that he will survive," Commander reassured her, also earning some nods from the Army Blockers. Astrid then noticed something.

"You seem to be worry about Hiccup," she said between sobs as she wiped away her tears. "But you're not worry about your best friend, Ralph. Not even the slightest," she noticed that Commander froze.

"We have our own reason why," replied Commander as he walked away.

Back in the Haddock household, Hiccup was gently picked up by RJ who also coughing violently.

"Astrid," Hiccup whispered as he got gently set back on the bed, tears still spilling.

Hiccup's breath was shallow as he laid there on his bed. He overheard the conversation between RJ and these mysterious people around him. He heard that this disease might lead to an outbreak if he and RJ stay any longer.

What made Hiccup confused was that RJ and all of these mysterious people were worried about Hiccup and Hiccup alone. They don't even worry about RJ who also got infected.

But Hiccup had made up his mind as he laid there on his bed, hopefully he had enough energy and no one was around. Hiccup then fell asleep as RJ kept talking to the Army Medic.

"Do you find any cure at all?" RJ wheezily demanded.

"We are still looking, Sir, but no avail," the Army Medic replied, making RJ sighed. Suddenly, another Army Medic frantically appeared in the room, fear in his eyes.

"Sir!" he exclaimed but immediately got shushed by RJ since Hiccup was sleeping.

"What is it?"

"There is a bad news about his current health," fear was in the Army Medic's voice.

"Go on," the Army Medic took a deep breath for encouragement.

"If he threw up blood one more time…" he trailed off, unable to look into RJ's green eyes. "That will the last thing he will ever do before he die"

Intense silence filled the room except for Hiccup's breathing.

"We need to find this cure immediately and we will save this boy no matter what," RJ sternly commanded them, making them nodded and disappeared. He ran a hand through his hair, making the bell rang gorgeously.

"RJ?" he heard Commander calling him. He walked to the window.

"Yes, Commander?" he heard Commander took a deep breath before he spoke.

"You see…" he trailed off for a moment. "She told me something…" That immediately got RJ perked up, knowing who she was. RJ knew that Commander was placing a hand over his heart.

"What did she told you?" RJ asked eagerly. Then, Commander explained that made RJ's dark green eyes widened in shocked. "Are you sure about this?" RJ asked after the explanation finished.

"Just trust me," that statement somehow made RJ chuckled.

"You know Commander, that words don't sound cool when you said it," RJ said and he heard Commander sighed. RJ imagined him rolling his eyes.

"Yes, yes, I know. I cannot imitate the way that gentleman say it"

"But are you really sure about this, Commander?"

"Just trust me"

"There you go again"

"Just shut up, RJ," Commander walked away as RJ laughed through his cough. Somehow, Hiccup didn't cough at the same time. It was the only time where the symptoms were not synchronized with each other.

The next day, Astrid lost her sanity.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WENT DISAPPEARED!?"

She went to the Haddock household just to check on Hiccup but when she arrived, Commander brought her the news.

"Apparently Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III somehow managed to sneak pass the Army Blockers unnoticed. Not even his bodyguard dragons," Commander answered calmly, failing at making Astrid calm down.

"THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE!? YOU SHOULD BE SEARCHING FOR HIM!" she screamed at Commander who doesn't even flinch at her voice. Crowds gathered at her high-pitched voice.

"We currently are, but we do not recommend you Vikings and dragons to go out there searching for him," he said quickly when Astrid was about to ran to a nearby dragon. "Let us Army Ants handle it, please"

"BUT HICCUP!"

"We do not want another victim to get infected by this unknown disease. Please, think about it; your mate did this to just keep you and your village safe"

"WHERE'S MY SON!?" Stoick boomed as he approached the giant. Apparently he heard Astrid yelling across the village. Commander sighed; knowing that he'll had to explain from the top, again.

"Your son has escape from our grasps, Chief of Berk, but please do not worry. We will handle this, we assure you," Commander tried to reassure the panicked people. Toothless then ran towards Commander and trying his hard to pounces the giant.

He failed miserably at it.

"I assure you all that he will be okay when he returns," he gently pried the dragon off from his chest like how a person pulled a cat away from their chest and put Toothless down on the ground.

"If he doesn't come back, you'll know the consequences," Stoick warned but Commander doesn't even budge. Stoick yelled to the crowds to disperse, leaving only Astrid and Toothless there. Their eyes were watery.

"Will be ever return?" Astrid's voice softened. Commander petted her head gently as he reassured her again and again that his mate will return. He even managed to pat Toothless on the head.

"Just trust me"
