When I got back, the sun was just coming over the water. I headed back to my hut, hoping I would get a little more sleep. No such luck. I had just hit my bed when there was a knock at my door. "Hey, Angelica, you awake?" I heard Astrid call. She walked in. "How'd you sleep?" she asked. "Bearly." I mumbled. I got up from my bed and headed down the ladder. "Fine." I lied. "So I thought we could do some training together?" Astrid asked. "Really?" I asked, my mood brightening up a little. "Yeah. We can do target practice, flight practice, and other stuff." she said. "Cool!" I said, happy again.
"Okay, so you wanna keep your arm straight, and elbow up." Astrid instructed. "Got it," I said, fumbling with the bow and arrow. I had forgotten Dagger and his threat, focusing on training and having fun, though it was mostly having fun. I straightened my arm, although my elbow was shaking. "Let me help." said Astrid, giggling. She straightened my shaking elbow, then pulling away. "Okay, now take a deep breath, and let it go!" she said. I let the arrow fly. It hit the center, and I celebrated. "I got it! I got it!" I screamed. I celebrated so much I didn't notice Hiccup walking over. "What's going on over here?" he asked. "I got a bulzeye!" I screamed, jumping up and down. "Well, I need Astrid's help with the Dragon Eye, you wanna come?" Hiccup asked. "What's the Dragon Eye?" I asked. Suddenly Dagger's threat to kill her if she didn't get him the Dragon Eye in two days came back like a punch in the face. "I'll explain it later." offered Hiccup. "Okay." and I followed them to the clubhouse.
Two days later I sat on my bed, crying. "What am I going to do? Dagger's expecting the Dragon Eye tonight, and I don't even know how I'm gonna get it!" I cried, trying to make a plan to get the Dragon Eye, when someone knocked at my door. "Angelica? You okay in there?" Astrid asked before walking in and going up the ladder. "What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing." I said, trying to wipe away tears. "Clearly It's not `nothing.` Now what's wrong? I'm here for you, Angelica." Astrid soothed. "I can't…" I said, still wiping away tears. "Angelica, tell me what's wrong, I can't help if you don't tell me what's bothering you." she said. "Okay." so I told her about my kidnapping, and Dagger telling me if I didn't get him the Dragon Eye, he would kill me.
"You poor thing." Astrid said when I was done. "We need to tell Hiccup." she said. I nodded, and followed her out the door to Hiccup's hut.
