Chapter thirteen. Only the Epilogue left.

I DON'T OWN!

ENJOY!

Hiccup's vision was blurry when he opened his eyes. He looked around and saw Rapunzel and Merida sitting next to his bed, well, Rapunzel was standing and Merida was on the bed.
"Whas goin on?" Hiccup slurred.
"Just keep quiet and stay in bed." Merida told him. Hiccup noticed his state of undress and blushed, before getting up and grabbing the long shirt that was draped on the bed. He quickly got dressed, ignoring the girls warnings.
"Something is going on, I can't just sit here and do nothing." He told them before checking his prosthetic. It was banged up a bit and had teeth marks in it, but it was still sturdy. That was all he needed before rushing out of the room, Merida and Rapunzel following him to make sure he was okay.

Pitch and the villagers broke through the front door and swarmed the place.
"It's empty." One of the men said lowly. Before anyone could answer the furniture came to life and started to attack the intruders.
Pitch, Snotlout, and Astrid rushed up the stairs, ignoring the screams coming from the battle below.

Frost sat sadly in his room. The villagers were here to take Hiccup, and he was just going to let them do that. His head jerked up violently when his door crashed open and the clacking of Hiccup's prosthetic was heard running into the room.
"Frost!" Hiccup called out as he rushed into his arms.
"What's going on? Why is there screaming?" Hiccup asked as he clutched the boy as closely as he could.
"Hiccup, the villagers are here to get you back." Frost told him. "And you are going to go with them." Frost told the trembling boy. Hiccup shook his head.
"I don't want to leave." Hiccup shook his head and tears came to his eyes.
"What about your family?" Frost lifted Hiccup's chin. "They miss you just as much as you miss them."
"But I l-" Hiccup was cut off when the door banged open and three figures rushed into the room. Snotlout stood behind Astrid and Pitch.
The doors were slammed closed and Pitch walked forward.
"Pitch." Frost growled lowly. Pitch grinned.
"Well, it seems you are more desperate then you were fourteen years ago." Pitch smiled coldly.

*FLASHBACK*

Seventeen year old pitch watched as his town burned, or some of it. He saw the boy who lost a leg. He sneered before rushing off into the forest. He soon came upon a castle, he could hear wolves in the very far distance and decided to enter.
He made his way through the castle, but before he could open the first door a freezing wind blasted him aside.
He looked to where the wind came from and saw a boy about his age, but made of ice. At first he thought it a statue, but then he moved.
"Why are you here?" He asked, lifting his hand in a way that seemed threatening.
"I got lost and saw the castle." Pitch lied smoothly. He stood and fixed his shirt.
The boy narrowed his eyes.
"May I please stay here for a bit?" Pitch asked sweetly, he was curious as to how the boy came to be.
The boy nodded once before turning and leaving him on his own.

*END FLASHBACK*

"How dare you come back here." Frost glared at him. Astrid gasped at them before rushing to pull Hiccup from Frost's grasp. Hiccup resisted only for a split second before being pulled over to Snotlout.
"But Frost, I had to." Pitch walked forward one step before stopping.
"But it seems that you have something else to occupy your bed." He sneered.
Hiccup's eyes widened and a blush rose on his face.
Frost glared sharply at him. "He isn't like you Pitch. What you did was wrong." He yelled at Pitch.

*Flash*

Pitch smiled at the shy ice boy. He only told him that the castle was beautiful and the boy flushed, interestingly enough, white, clouding the ice of his face.
"Well, it is well taken care of." Frost told him. Frost hadn't had a human in his castle for years, he had forgotten what it felt like to be complimented, it felt great, his chest swelled in pride, but he couldn't help the blush that came up. He cursed himself internally, he used to be suave but the time alone has made him easy to read and spazzy.
Pitch was smiling at him and for some reason, he felt a burn in his chest, the only heat he had felt in hundreds of years, and that made him feel something for the boy standing before him.

*END FLASH*

"Pitch." Rapunzel came over to them, no longer able to hide in the shadows. Merida was sitting on Rapunzel.
"Why did you come back?" She asked.

*FLASH*

Rapunzel watched the boy and her employer-turned-friend with narrowed eyes. She didn't trust him. But he made Frost happy and that is what counts. She noticed that Frost laughed more and smiled most of the time. Frost was adamant that he will break the spell, that Pitch was the key.

*END FLASH*

Merida glared at him.
"I told you not to come back here, ever." She growled at him.

*FLASH*

"STOP!" Merida heard from upstairs. She rushed there on the ottoman, Angus, and found Frost being held to the bed by Pitch, but something was wrong, Pitch shouldn't be able to hold Frost down, Frost's ice should be too cold to touch and his strength was incredible, but he wasn't able to push the man off of him. Merida noticed that others had gathered and decided to do something, throwing herself at the man. A few spoons and forks did the same until Rapunzel's pet Pascal, the measuring tape, attacked Pitch, throwing him off balance enough for Frost to kick him off.
"Leave!" Merida exclaimed, standing on Rapunzel. "Leave and Never come back!" And Pitch ran, leaving Frost on the bed.

*END FLASH*

Pitch grinned at her.
Hiccup's eyes widened as things started to click into place. "Fourteen years?" He asked.
"That was when..." He trailed off.
"You started the fire." He accused Pitch, who turned to face him.
"Yes I did, and they deserved it. Now back to the adults." He told him before ignoring them again.
"You did all of this to get me here." Hiccup continued anyways, his eyes narrowed in concentration.
"You thought I could break the spell? No, you were surprised when Astrid asked Snotlout to help me. You wanted to get Snotlout to be chief so you could raid the castle." He said, his eyes widening.
"Give the boy a prize. Now, boy, why did I want to raid the castle?" Pitch sneered at him.
Hiccup racked his brain for the answer.
"Riches. This castle holds many riches within it's walls. If you could empty it of it's residents then you could gain it all." Hiccup said. But Pitch shook his head.
"That isn't true." He told them. "Revenge dear boy. Frost's creatures will follow his lead in anything. They wouldn't leave the castle, they'd fight to the death, and so would those weak villagers." Pitch grinned.
"A fight to the death, it's a slaughter." Astrid said, her grip tightening on Hiccup's shoulder.
Frost growled.
"Why Pitch? Why did you do it?" Frost couldn't help but ask.
"Because Frost, I can." Pitch was quick, grabbing Hiccup by the arm and pulling him to him, his arms trapping him against his body.
"That town treated me like crap, so I started a fire, it wasn't supposed to be so big, just enough to be noticed. When that went wrong I left, finding my way here." Pitch said, resting his chin on Hiccup's head, a mockingly sweet picture the two made.
"When I got here I thought about a way for revenge." He told them, tightening his grip on the now struggling Hiccup.
"Suduce Frost and use his creatures to destroy the town, but then, Frost was more difficult then that. He wanted Love," Pitch sneered.
"So I left." Merida's glare sharpened.
"That's a lie. You tried to hurt Frost and were chased off by us." She said angrily.
"Tomato Tamoto." Pitch said with a roll of his eyes. Hiccup stopped struggling when he felt sharp nails dig into his skin.
"I found a stupid boy," "Hey!" "To manipulate and set him on a journey to be chief. I was to use him to raid the castle and get rid of all my problems at once, but then this boy ruined it. His 'death' ruined my chance at revenge, that is, until his father came home one day and started to spew words such as Frost Beast and Castle. He was convinced that his 'dead' son was being held by a frost beast in a castle in the middle of the forest. Now, that moved my plans farther. I decided to use it. Get Stoick thrown in the loony bin and have him," He gestured to Snotlout with his chin, "take control. After that I just had to tell them that someone threatened their precious town and they would storm the castle themselves. But your horse came. My plan went into fast forward, and now? Everyone downstairs will die." Pitch ended it with a grin.
"How can you be so sure?" Rapunzel asked. Astrid was now holding a lamp in her hands and was aiming it at Pitch.
"FIRE!" A scream came from down stairs. Hiccup tensed.
"That's how."
"Your crazy! You will burn up too!" Astrid exclaimed as she dropped the lamp, the crash waking Hiccup and he started to thrash violently in Pitch's grasp.
"THE DOOR WON'T OPEN!" A man yelled from down stairs.
"I plan on leaving here alive miss." Pitch mocked. He started to pull Hiccup to the window.
"Only one of you will live, and that is Hiccup. If any of you follow, none of you will live." Pitch told them before closing the windows.
Astrid and Snotlout started to cough violently as smoke came through the door.
"We need to get out of here!" Rapunzel cried. Frost looked back at the window then to the rose, which only had one petal left. Save the people in the mansion? Or go to Hiccup and save himself? He shook his head before going to the door and opening it swiftly. He lifted his arms and a wind broke the windows and flowed around him, clearing the air of smoke. Frost made his way to the bottom of the stairs, the heat was starting to melt him. He threw his hands forward and ice flew at the flames, putting them out. The humans and furniture cheered as the flames were put out.
But Frost couldn't stand the heat, not that much. As soon as the fire was gone he fell to the ground, his form still melting.

"Let me GO!" Hiccup cried as he was pulled away from the castle. He looked back at the castle once, the orange glows of fire were gone, but he had an empty feeling in the pit of his stomach.
He kicked Pitch in the shin a few times till Pitch let him go, or rather threw him to the ground. Pitch loomed over Hiccup, it looked like he was going to kick him, but before he could, Toothless burst through a bush and rammed him. Hiccup grinned at his horse and jumped on, Pitch laying on the ground, unconscious.
Hiccup and Toothless made it to the castle in time to hear some cheering, but the cheering stopped before he got to the door. He saw a bar keeping the doors closed and quickly removed it before running in. He saw a crowd gathered around something and made his way there.

*The rose sat on the shelf*

"Frost!" Hiccup ran to the boy lying on the floor and knelt in a puddle of water. Hiccup cradled his head.

*The rose stopped glowing*

"Frost! Don't leave me! Please. I can't lose you." Hiccup bent his head down. "I love you."

*The last petal fell*

Hope you liked it!
