/*Le Gasp*Two chapters in two days? Yep, don't get used to it is all I can say xD So yeah, hopefully faster updates now! Dagur finally makes an appearance, kidnapping maybe next chapter, I'm not entirely sure. Oh and just to point out, this is set after the first time Dagur visits Berk back in series one, but he does know about the dragons. Anyway, chapter 4...

Stoick awoke the next morning with a jolt. He sat up, curious as what to woken him. Toothless seemed to be doing the same, ears perked and head searching the room. He hadn't moved from his spot near the bed last night, not that anyone really expected him too.

Knock, knock, knock.

It was the door. Stoick sat up completely, rubbing his face. He glanced over to Hiccup. He hadn't moved round much either last night. Good. That was probably the healer at the door, she said she'd visit the next morning (so yes, today.)

The door knocks again, this time he ambles towards it, pulling it open with a yawn. A gust of cool wind enters the home, making the fire in the centre of the room dance around. The person outside, or should I say people, quickly enter, not wasting a second.

"Morning Chief." One voice says. Astrid. He smiles warmly.
"Hello Astrid, how are you today?" He asks, trying to sound less depressed than he actually was.
"I'm, I'm okay," She returns, "how's Hiccup?"

Stoick stops for second. He wasn't much of a doctor, but Hiccup looked as if he was okay. Well better than he was yesterday to say the least.

"I think he's okay." He smiles confidently. Astrid nods slowly, trying to smile as she did so.

He suddenly remembered a second person had also entered the home. He looks round, to see the figure by the bed. As he expected, it was Gothi. Apparently she had already started the check up whilst Stoick was mid conversation.

He walks over to her, Astrid following,
"I-is he okay?" He asks, choking ever so slightly on his words. He was nervous, who could blame him really. Though it was always Hiccup who always manage to nearly get himself killed. Honestly, just little over two months ago he had gotten himself struck by lightning.

The healer nods slowly, looking his head over. As she did so Hiccup shuffled around a little, letting out small groans. She nods again, he supposed that was a good thing. Maybe he was waking up.

Several hand gestures and rolling of eyes later, Stoick managed to work out that Hiccup was doing well, he'd be awake either that day or tomorrow. Not that he's be able to sit up or anything, but he's be there.

The healer leaves, leaving strict instructions to be careful not to jostle him or anything along those lines, no need to make anything worse. They really needed Hiccup to tell them where it hurt the most.

Astrid and Stoick sit at the side of the bed for a while, not really being able to make a whole lot of a conversation. It was mostly something along the lines of,
"So, how are your parents...?"
"Oh, er, they're good. Yep."
"Yeah? That's good to hear."

And then it went silent again. Why it so hard to make a conversation when you're worried about someone either knew.

After what seemed to be a good hour, Stoick cleared his throat.

"Would it be okay if you could watch Hiccup for an hour or so" He nervously asked, "I need to finish some things off that I never did yesterday" He quickly explains.

"Oh, um, yes, yes, that'll be- yeah I can do that." She replies, giving a confident smile. Stoick smiles back. He was ervous to leave, what if something happened? Or if he woke up? He shakes it off though, Astrid was there, his son would be okay. Most probably.

"Okay, thank you, I'll be back soon." He nods, moving towards the door. Astrid nods in his direction.
"See you later chief."

As soon as the door was hastily closed, Astrid breathed sigh of relief. She knew it was a bad thing to do, but the atmosphere in the room was just completely awkward. She glanced over to Toothless, who was staring contently a the bed. She sighed sadly, gesturing for him to come over. He doesn't hesitate to stand and join her by the bedside.

"He'll be okay, it's Hiccup! He's always okay." She reassures, giving the dragon a scratch under the chin. He cooed softly, as if understanding.

"You hear that Hic, you gotta get up soon!" She tells him, gently taking his hand. "Please?"

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-Meanwhile-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"How is he?" Gobbers gruff voice asks as he and Stoick talk in the forge. Gobber was currently making Hiccup a new prosthetic, since Hiccups got, well, completely abandoned in the woods.

"He's okay, well I think so. Gothi reckons he'll be up soon." He nods, trying not to choke on his words. Gobber nods slowly, before stopping his work.

"He'll be fine Stoick, I mean the lads been through worse." He reassures, looking his oldest friend in the eye. Stoick nods, sighing a little.
"I know, I don't know how he manages it, it's always him." He groans, laughing slightly. Gobber chuckles, and opens his mouth to speak, but's interrupted by a loud horn.

"What does that mean?" The blacksmith asks as soon as the room goes quiet again, a confused look on his face. Stoick stands up straight glancing towards the docks.
"A ships coming in, but we're not meant to have anyone coming in..." He mutters, walking out the building. Gobber abandons his work, limping after the other man.

"So...someone's coming in unannounced?" He asks, still confused. All Stoick does is nod.

They walk down to see a lot of commotion. Well more commotion than usual. Stoick walks to the crowd, trying to figure out why everyone was in such a panic.

"Er, Stoick..." Gobber says, gesturing towards the water. Well there was the ship, with the unmistakable Beserker crest on the sail, which could only mean one thing. Dagur was back.

"Oh great." Gobber spits, rolling his eyes. "Didn't we scare him off last time." He snorts, failing to make Stoic laugh. Instead he trudges forwards, cautiously moving towards the boat. As he does so, the plank pushes forwards, smashing onto the ground.

"Ah Berk, how I've missed it..."

/Yep, not much Dagur. I will get on with it I promise. So how'd you like it? Pleas review, it makes me so happyyy, haha, see you next time!
