Chapter twelve. Only one more and the Epilogue left.

I DON'T OWN!

ENJOY!

Frost caught up with the two, or he caught up with Toothless. Hiccup wasn't on the scared horses back. Frost panicked and told the horse to find some help before rushing back the way the two had come, looking for the missing rider.

Toothless took off on the way to the village, his home, to find help for his rider.

Astrid was in the kitchen when she heard a commotion coming from outside. She set down her knife and walked to the door, opening it to see what she could only describe as a mob. She picked up a mace that she reserved for special occasions.
"What do you want?" She asked them. The crowd parted slightly and three people made their way to the front.
A sad looking Snotlout, a proud looking Pitch, and a crazy looking Alvin.
"Why are you here?" She asked again, holding her mace at the ready.
"Your father is a danger to you and to himself girl." Alvin all but crooned out, the sound making her tense.
"He is not. He is just grieving." She told them, a glare on her face. Snotlout looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there, edging as far back as he could without leaving.
"Oh yeah? He is going on and on about a frozen beast that has kidnapped his son, his dead son, and is keeping him locked away in a castle. How is that sane at all girly?" Alvin asked before he motioned his men, who stood behind him, to get the chief. Astrid lifted her mace and brought it down, smashing the chains, that were in one of the mans hands, into the ground. The man that held them screamed as his hands were mangled by the mace.
"Be glad that I didn't grab the axe, you would be missing your hands by now." Astrid growled to the man. She held the mace back and glared at them.
"If you want him you will have to go through me." She told them.
"This could all be avoided if someone can prove the mans words are true." Alvin told her.
"So what? If my brother or his horse come through those woods right now, then you will leave?" Astrid asked incredulously. Alvin grinned at her, his grotesque teeth showing in the firelight.
"Exactly." He told her. Nothing happened for a second before Alvin motioned his men forward again.
"STOP!" Astrid yelled. They didn't stop until a loud few neighs filled the dark area. Stormfly, Astrid's horse, and Thunderdrum were going wild within their stalls.
Astrid took a swing at the men and they jumped back to avoid the hit.
"You will NOT take my Father!" Astrid told them, grabbing for her axe. Now armed with both, not an easy feat, Astrid was a scary sight.
Before she could kill anyone a black horse flew out of the forest and right through the people gathered to get to Astrid.
"Toothless." Astrid breathed out as she dropped her weapons and hugged the horse.
"Where is Hiccup?" She asked the horse. He neighed and looked over his shoulder to the forest. Astrid noticed the ice and frost that was on the horses saddle.
"He really was taken by a frozen beast!" A random villager yelled out in fear.
Pitch looked furious, but a creepy smile took over his face.
"We must go and kill the beast, and save the unfortunate boy." He told the villagers.
"If we don't then who will be next? You wives? Children? That Thing needs to be stopped!" The villagers cheered at his speech. Astrid glared at him, but didn't stop him, She needs to save her brother.

Frost found Hiccup slumped over in a mound of snow, it was almost spring so the snow was mixed with more dirt and mud then usual. He picked up the unconscious teen and carried him back to his castle. He stripped him down and placed him under the covers in his bed. Frost watched as Hiccup's pale skin gained a little color. He couldn't help warm him, his skin made of ice would only freeze the boy more.
He knew that fire would be the best thing for him now, but if he wakes with a fire in the room, he would panic.
Mrs. DunBroch zoomed in with hot water and instructed Phil to place the hot water soaked cloth onto Hiccup's forehead.
Frost backed up till he was in the door frame, Rapunzel and Merida stood beside him.
"He is going to be okay." Rapunzel told him.
"I think I am just going to let him leave. It is too dangerous here for him." Frost told the girls. Merida looked at him with a sharp glare.
"What about-"
"I Don't care about our curse! Hiccup is hurt because of our keeping him here." Frost cut Merida off before rushing out of Hiccup's room. He quickly made his way to his quarters, where a beautiful blue rose stood, only two petals left.

Pitch and Snotlout were at the front of the procession, Astrid right behind them. Toothless lead the way to the castle, unaware of Pitch's true purpose in going to the castle.
Pitch grinned when the castle came into view, he would finally get his chance.

Hope you liked it!
