Hey guys... No hard feelings. Right? I apologize to all my followers and fans who have been waiting since January/February for this update. I'm really, really sorry. :(
But anyways here's the next chapter! :D
Hiccup raced down the halls of the Berserker ship; desperately looking for Toothless. He looked in every single cage he passed by. "Toothless?" Hiccup whispered quietly; cupping a hand over his mouth. No response. "Toothless, where are you bud?" he whispered once again. Again: No response.
He continued to run, then a growl was heard; Hiccup stopped in his tracks. "Toothless?" he whispered. He ran towards the source of the sound.
"Toothless!" Hiccup said happily; grabbing the cells' bars. "you don't know how glad I am to see you." Toothless growled happily. "Now, let's get you out of here." he said, looking for a key. But before he could, there was a voice that made him stop.
"Oh, you're not going anywhere." the voice said. "Not when I have her." Hiccup turned around and gasped, and to no one's surprise; it was Dagur.
"Dagur." Hiccup growled.
"Brother!" said Dagur, holding a small dagger to Astrid's throat. "I thought I'd find you here."
"Sorry, Hiccup." she said shamefully. "He came up from behind me and-"
"Quiet!" Dagur snapped "I wasn't finished."
"It's okay, Astrid." said Hiccup, putting a hand out. "I wasn't your fault."
"So can I finish talking or are you two love birds going to keep blabbering?" There was a beat. "Good."
"Dagur what do you want?" Hiccup asked, annoyed more than curious.
"Hiccup," said Dagur. "do I have to repeat it over and over, over again?" There was a long pause, and Hiccup looked at him like be was crazy. Well not that he isn't crazy. Dagur finally broke the silence. "I want the Dragon Eye!" he said frantically.
Hiccup looked and patted his pants, then looked back at Dagur. "Sorry, Dagur." said Hiccup, shrugging. "looks like it's not you're lucky day." he said crossing his arms.
"Stop lying to me, Hiccup." said Dagur, frustrated. "I know you have it." he moved the dagger closer to Astrid's throat. "And you're going to give it to me. You wanna know why?" he started to press the dagger into her throat. "Because-" Dagur suddenly stopped and dropped to the floor; unconscious.
"Ugh. Does that guy ever stop talking?" said Tuffnut from behind him, holding a sword in his hand. "So annoying."
"I know right." said Ruffnut. "so annoying."
"Astrid." said Hiccup, racing over to her, and embracing her into a hug. "Thank Thor you're alright."
"Me too." she said hugging him back. "We need to get out of here."
"I couldn't agree more." said Hiccup. "Just let me get Toothless." he ran over to his dragon and unlocked the door. Toothless came dashing out and Hiccup hugged the black dragon around his neck. "I'm glad to see you too bud."
"Now can we go?" Snotlout wined. "I'd like to be out of here before Deranged here wakes up." he said pointing to the unconscious Berserker.
Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Yes, Snotlout."
And with that they climbed up to the deck of the ship. But all failed to notice the once unconscious Dagur waking up.
...
"Okay, gang," said Hiccup. "Let's mount up."
The riders nodded and began to mount their dragons, but failed to notice the angry Deranged man holding a sword approaching them from behind. As Hiccup was just about to mount Toothless, Dagur came up from behind him and plunged the blade straight into Hiccup's back. Leaving the blade in his back.
"HICCUP!" They cried in unison.
Hiccup tried to let out a scream but nothing came out. He crumbled to the ground and fell unconscious. Astrid dove to his side beginning to cry. But she noticed there was no blood and Hiccup was perfectly fine. Hiccup opened one eye and winked and pretend to be dead.
Hiccup was acting.
Astrid finnaly caught on to what he was doing and went along with it.
Astrid turned around and gave Dagur a death glare, Dagur stood with a smug look on his face. "You monster!" she shouted. "I will kill you!" she grabbed her axe and charged at him. Dagur grabbed another sword, and they began to fight.
"I will kill you for what you've done to Hiccup." said Astrid as she fought the Berserker.
"You can try." Dagur said smugly
Astrid kicked him in the stomach and he doubled over. She then knocked the sword out of his hand. Dagur stood there in shock.
"Your move, Dagur." said Astrid said smugly as someone tapped Dagur on the shoulder. Dagur turned around and gasped.
"You might need this." said Hiccup holding the sword Dagur "stabbed" him with. "you can't fight without a sword." he dropped the sword. Dagur glared harshly at him. "Let this end now."
"Fine." Dagur growled.
Hiccup walked towards Toothless and mounted him. Hiccup gave Dagur one last glare right before taking off, the riders following close behind.
"THIS IS NOT THE END, HICCUP! YOU HEAR ME!?" screamed Dagur shaking his fist. "I WILL KILL YOU AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS!"
The End. ... for now. ;)
