A few days later, the gang decided that Stoick needed to know about what was happening with Hiccup, so they sent a terror mail to Berk telling him to come to the Edge.

Two days later, Stoick finally arrived to Dragon's Edge.

"Chief! You are here!" Snotlout said happily.

"Yes. I got your terror mail. What's wrong with Hiccup?" Stoick said worriedly.

The gang went silent. They really didn't know what to say... how to tell him... But after a few minutes of silence, Astrid spoke.

"Hiccup was captured a few weeks ago... by pirates. And... we really don't know what happened to him because he refuses to tell us but Hiccup isn't doing so good... he isn't himself. So... we just wanted you to know that."

Stoick's eyes widened in shock. His son was captured? By pirates? How did that happened?

"How... how did he get captured?" He asked.

"We weren't with him when he was captured. But we know that he was flying with Toothless when it happened." Astrid replied.

"Let me see him. I want to see my son." He said.

The gang nodded and he followed them to Hiccup's hut. He was about to go in when Fishlegs stopped him.

"Chief... Hiccup is really sensitive right now, so you need to be gentle with him. Don't force him to tell you what happened because that will only make things worse."

Stoick nodded and went inside. The gang stayed outside to give the Father and Son some privacy.

When he stepped inside Hiccup's hut, he saw his son laying in bed facing the other way. He wasn't sure if he was sleeping or not, but he decided to speak.

"Hiccup? Son?" He whispered.

Hiccup wasn't asleep so he heard him. He turned around.

"Dad?" He spoke so softly Stoick almost didn't hear.

"Son, I... I heard what happened. Do you want to talk about it?" Stoick asked.

Hiccup's lips started to quiver, indicating that he was about to cry, and Stoick didn't fail to notice that.

"It's okay if you don't want to... I understand." He quickly said.

"N-no... I don't want to talk about it... I'm... I'm not ready yet..." Hiccup said with a few tears rolling down his cheeks. He turned away from his dad and lay back down.

"Then don't, son. You don't have to tell me." Stoick said with understanding.

A few minutes has passed and none of them said a word. Stoick decided to go over the other side so he could get a better look at his son.

Stoick sighed. Hiccup's eyes were puffy from crying, and there were bags under his eyes from all the sleepless nights. Hiccup was staring at his dad with sadness in his eyes.

The truth is, Hiccup was glad that his dad was here with him right now. He really missed his dad a lot and seeing him now made him feel a little better.

"I'm really happy you are here right now, Dad. I missed you." Hiccup whispered.

"I missed you, too Son." Stoick said with a big smile on his face.

A few minutes later, Hiccup got up and hugged his father really tight. Stoick hugged back immediately. After a while, Hiccup started crying. It surprised Stoick at first, but he just hugged him and let him cry on his shoulder until he eventually fell asleep. Stoick covered Hiccup with his blanket and left his hut to talk to the others.

Minutes later, he arrived at the clubhouse where the gang were at.

"So... how did it go Chief?" Tuffnut asked.

"Well... you were right, he doesn't look so good. He was crying. A lot. But he is asleep now. Has he been like this ever since you rescued him?"

"Yeah. I've never actually seen Hiccup cry this much before. It really worries me. We are dying to know what those pirates did to him but he just doesn't want to tell us." Snotlout answered.

Stoick thought for a moment.

"If he ever tells you what happened, please let me know. I want those pirates to pay for what they did to my son. But not until I know what they did to Hiccup." Stoick said seriously.

"Of course." Everyone nodded.

After that, Stoick got on Skullcrusher and was ready to leave. He wanted to stay here longer to be with Hiccup but he was chief, and was needed at Berk, so he had to leave. But before he left, he spoke again.

"Please do update me about Hiccup. I want to know how he is doing."

"Sure. We will send you a terror mail once in a while to update you about Hiccup." Astrid said with a small smile.

Stoick smiled back and left.
