Hello again! Just wanted to say really quickly that I'll try to update once a day, but I probably won't be able to EVERY day. So, yea.
Nekofreeak349: Here's the next chapter! Hope you like it as much as the first one!
Tasermon's Partner: Thanks! I didn't know if they had needles either, but I couldn't think of any other way to get anything inside of him. Hiccup's not so stupid he'll eat something from them, but I'll keep thinking! :)
Thanks to all my readers, followers, reviewers, and favorites! And now, Chapter 3!

Chapter Three
"Whoa, Fishlegs, calm down," said Astrid. The blonde boy had ran into the Dragon Academy, where Hiccup was supposed to be meeting them, babbling his head off about Hiccup and boats.
"When are we gonna start," whined one of the twins. (Sometimes Astrid found it difficult to tell which one.) Judging by the voice, it was Ruffnut. Whichever one it was, she gave them a nasty glare. Fishlegs was obviously freaking out about something.
"What happened, Fishlegs," Astrid said, giving him her full attention.
Fishlegs took a deep breath and began, "So I was walking through the forest documenting plants, usual guy stuff, when I heard running feet. Really big running feet. I figured it was just Gobber and he had upset the Scauldron again, but then I heard someone yell, so of course I went to see what was going on." Fishlegs was talking so fast that Astrid could just barely understand him.
"So I tiptoed through the forest, and the first thing I saw was Alvin, so I almost panicked, but then I saw that Hiccup was with him."
"Whoa whoa whoa, wait. Hiccup's working for Alvin?" interrupted Tuffnut, "Why would he do that?"
"He wasn't working for them," Fishlegs snapped. "He was just too tired to go anywhere. He looked pretty beaten up. They were taking him somewhere. He saw me, and I told him I was going to get his father, so I did."
Snotlout spoke for the first time since Fishlegs had come in, "Then why isn't he here?"
Fishlegs hesitated before saying, "We were too late. They took a boat and left." The training arena had an unearthly silence to it now, as the news started to sink in. Alvin had Hiccup. Astrid started shaking; No one knew if Hiccup would be able to survive this. Alvin could be really rough, Astrid knew from personal experience.
Her hand instinctively moved toward her lower leg, where she still had a scar as a reminder. Alvin had given that to her when she was eight. The first night in five years that the Outcasts had come to Berk.
"Let's go," she commanded, regaining her courage. Everyone, even Fishlegs, stared at her incredulously.
"You're not seriously thinking..."
"Let's go chase us some Outcasts."
~Page Break~
Hiccup sat in his cell, trying to figure out a way to escape. His ideas were crazier and crazier each time! 'Maybe I could try to jump them when they open the door, or I could use my prosthetic to dig a hole in the wall, or I could imitate an Outcast and sneak my way out!'
Hiccup's heart sunk as he realized he couldn't do any of those things. He was still too tired. He would have thought that he would have at least regained some energy by now.
He jumped when he heard a door creak open in the distance. Loud footsteps echoed across a hall, then the door to his room opened to reveal Alvin the Treacherous, looking quite Treacherous, standing in the doorway.
"Let's sit down and have a little talk, shall we?"
~Page Break~
"Stoik stop! Ye don't know what yer doin!" Gobber yelled after his chief. "We don't even have weapons!"
"Alvin took my son, Gobber," Stoik said, obviously trying to control his anger, and failing miserably. "I'm goin after him now." Gobber sighed in defeat.
"What do we do first?" Stoik looked pleased that his best friend was going with him.
"We've got to ask that blonde boy from before a couple of questions," he said. "We don't know exactly what he saw." They both walked to the Dragon Academy, only to find it empty. The dragons were gone too.
"Well, seems to me like the teens had the same idea as you, Stoik," mumbled Gobber. "Now we got even more children to look for."
Sorry for the short chapter. Who's POV do you want to see next? (Just for recap, we've had Hiccup's, Stoik's, Fishlegs's, Astrid's, and Gobber's.) Tell me in the reviews, and I'll try to put them in the next chapter! (But I'm not adding any more characters, sorry.)
