Here's chapter 2, please read and review. Sorry if chapter one was a bit rushed, I'm still working on detail.
Hiccup walked into his home. He decided to go against Astrid's wishes and act like he didn't know anything. He was a horrible liar and decided he would be better off not knowing anything. He walked inside his house and went straight to bed. He'd figure this all out in the morning. He fell asleep in minutes.
Astrid was making herself cozy in her new home. She figured out she could create whatever she wanted with her powers. With a simple wave of her hand she created a beautiful set of stairs leading through a hole in the side of the mountain and pair of gorgeous door to match. She created an intricate hallway eventually leading to a grand room, with a throne fit for a queen. She created a maze of hallways and doors, one leading to a beautiful hall of icy stables.
"Now for me," Astrid said waving her hands at her own clothes.
A bright blue light appeared at her feet, swirling around her body. Her dress was sleeveless except for the beaded strings wrapping around her shoulders. The beads melded into her cape which carried the pattern all the way across the length of her cape. She put her hair in a messy tight bun. She took off her headband, she wouldn't be needing this anymore so she tossed it aside into a pile of snow. She replaced it with an icy silver crown, a blue rhinestone in the center. The crown was basically a snowflake fashioned into a crown.
"A real queen of ice and dragons," Astrid said smiling.
She left the hall for her bed chamber. Where the most loveliest room awaited her. Her heels clicked with each step she took. Waving her hands for each door to open and close.
The next day Hiccup thought of every way he could think of to get out of killing the dragon. He decided to play along until the right moment where he'd have a breakdown in front of the whole Hooligan tribe. Turns out he didn't have to. Everyone on Berk was too busy with the search for Astrid.
"No fight today son," Stoick said, "It's been canceled. Go help search."
"Yes sir," Hiccup said walking outside.
He made a mad dash straight for the woods where he nearly ran over Snotlout.
"Hey where are you going," Snotlout asked.
"Raven Point," Hiccup panted, "I might have seen her in that area last night while walking around, there were a few dragons in the area where I last saw her."
"You don't think she was," Snotlout didn't want to finish his sentence.
"I'm hoping not," Hiccup said starting off, "Come on."
Snotlout stayed close behind Hiccup as he didn't know where he was going. Hiccup stopped by the same giant rock where Toothless landed when he was shot down.
"You don't think," Snotlout said fear rising in his voice.
"You go that way," Hiccup said pointing away from the cove, "I go this way."
"Alright," Snotlout said running off shouting her name.
Hiccup dashed into the cove where her ax lay on the ground untouched. He ordered Toothless to stay in the cove. He picked up Astrids ax and ran to find Snotlout.
"Snotlout," he shouted as he ran, "I found her ax on the ground."
"What," Snotlout said looking horrified.
"I found it in a cove back there," Hiccup said, "There was dew on it so it must have been there overnight."
"Overnight," Snotlout said, "She wouldn't leave it laying around like that. It's practically her kid."
"I have to be wrong," Hiccup said shaking, "What will her dad think of me. I saw her not too far from here, and I didn't say a word to her."
"We have to tell her dad Hiccup," Snotlout said trying not to cry, "We have to tell him she's gone."
"We don't know for sure," Hiccup pleaded.
"Then tell me why else she would have left her ax out all night like this," Snotlout said, "You said you saw dragons in this area last night where else would she be other than in the belly one of one of those monsters."
"I," Hiccup said cutting himself off there, turns out he won't have to tell anyone she was taken Snotlout'll do it for him.
"She's dead," Snotlout whispered as he walked back to the village.
Hiccup solemnly followed. Tearing up himself, he carried the ax with both his hands. If it wren;t for the fact he knew exactly where Astrid was, he'd have thought she was really gone too. Just like she wants the people of Berk to believe. Snotlout trudged up to Astrids dad hugging himself. Once Mr. Hofferson saw the ax in Hiccups hand, he knew his daughter was gone for good. He took the ax from Hiccup.
"We found it covered in dew," Hiccup said crying, "We couldn't find any sign of her other than this."
"Not my daughter," Mr. Hofferson whispered, "She can't be dead."
"It's my fault," Hiccup said quickly, "I saw her in the woods last night, there was a dragon in the area and I didn't say a word to her about it."
"Hiccup," the man said, "It's not your fault. Even if you said something, she wouldn't have came back to the village. She's always be
en a bit stubborn when it comes to her strength."
Hiccup nodded. He turned to his dad coming from the other side of the village. Stoick knew what had happened to the missing girl. Hiccup walked into his dad kind of hugging him.
"It's okay son," Stoick said hugging Hiccup, "Everything'll be okay."
Hiccup stayed and wailed into his dads shirt. Stoick lead his son home, Hiccup full fledged crying.
Astrid couldn't have been any more bored than she was now. She walked her grand hallways looking for something to do. She walked into her throne room where two Gronkles greeted her with wagging tails and tongues hanging out.
"Hello," Astrid said as they surrounded her, "We'll need the others for tonight's raid."
The dragons left without their queen having to say another word to them. Astrid knew a few raids were necessary for her to live with them alone. She sat on her throne and watched while all of the dragons slowly filed into the throne room. Once they were all inside, she began with her commands.
"Go to Berk," she said realizing she was talking to a bunch of dragons, "Bring me my ax and a few sheep."
The dragons all left, wondering if they knew what she had said, Astrid leaned back in her icy throne, and waited.
The dragon raid was noted as unusual by every viking on Berk. Unlike the other times when dragon took whatever food they could get their claws on, they only too several sheep and any ax they could find. They never took any weapons before, even a single type of weapon. Stoick gritted his teeth when Hiccup really screwed up this time.
"Why am I being blamed for this dad," Hiccup shouted as his childhood home fell under the pressure of the flames that ate it up.
"You were told to keep the dragons away from the house," Stoick shouted at the tiny little viking in front of him, "I gave you one job and you screw it up."
Hiccup couldn't take it, he ran off as fast as he could go, which was actually very fast since no one could keep up with him. Stoick shook his head, as he watched Hiccup disappear into the trees.
"Stoick it wasn't him," Fishlegs said apologetically, "I was putting out a fire when a dragon went to attack me. I got out of the way and it hit your house instead. I'm sorry Chief."
"Thank you for fessing up," Stoick said, "Now to find my son and apologize."
"If you can," Gobber said, "Not even a Night Fury could keep up with that boy as fast as he was going."
"Where would he go," Stoick asked.
"Probably Raven Point," Snotlout said, "He has a couple connections there."
"What connections," Stoick asked.
"He said he shot down a Night Fury and it landed in Raven Point," Snotlout said, "Astrids ax was found in Raven Point."
"Stoick are you thinking what I'm thinking," Gobber said.
"What would that be Gobber," Stoick asked putting his hands on his hips.
"That Hiccup really did shoot down a Night Fury," Gobber explained, "And Astrid was unlucky to be near it when it freed itself. That dragon must've been without food for a while and thought she'd make a pretty tasty meal."
"That's outlandish," Stoick said waving it off.
"Think about it," Gobber said, "Why else would a dragon be in that area if there wasn't a single raid the day she was taken, why else would Hiccup keep going back to that area. He's looking for the Night Fury he shot down, and that very dragon took Astrid."
"Possibility," Snotlout said, "But we have no proof."
"There were no Night Furies seen in today's raid," Stoick said trying to debunk the thought.
"Then that only gives us more reason to search," Snotlout said, "What if it lost it's wing or tail and is still on Berk waiting to kill Hiccup."
"Good point Snotlout," Stoick said giving it some thought, "If that dragons still on this island then I want it gone. A reward goes to the first one to kill the Night Fury."
However no matter how hard they looked, they wouldn't find any Night Furies as Hiccup had vanished with it.
