Talulahh's POV:





Astrid, Dahlia, our dragons, and I gathered suplies and fruits.

"Toothless!" I heard Hiccup yell.

Toothless dropped the bucket of apples he was holding.

Hiccup ran towards us, men chasing him.

Toothless jumped in front of him, blasting at the men.

"Get 'em, Saph." I smiled as Sapphire made a wall of amber in front of two other men, who ran away.

"Yeah, that's right. Keep running!" Astrid smirked.

I landed and slipped off my saddle, joining Hiccup. "You okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, I think so." Hiccup panted.

Toothless licked him. Hiccup groaned, "I'm all right, bud."

"Who were those guys?" Dahlia asked.

"They didn't look like Dragon Hunters." Astrid added.

"You know, I don't know." Hiccup replied. "With all the flying axes and tumbling down hills, I forgot to ask."

"Oh, don't get sassy with me, young man." I pointed at him accusingly.

Toothless suddenly jumped on top of a rolled up paper. "Hey, what you got there, Toothless?" Hiccup asked, walking up to his dragon.

We all gasped. "I think I know who those guys were." Astrid muttered.





Snotlout laughed, "No way! Virgo put a price on Hiccup's head? Oh, man. Every bounty hunter from here to the archipelago is gonna be looking for you."

"Thank you, Snotlout, for your undying support." Hiccup sighed.

"No, thank you, Hiccup." Snotlout grinned, holding up the paper.

I snatched it from his hands, scrutinizing it. "They managed to make you even more ugly." I looked at my brother.

"We look a lot alike!" Hiccup scoffed.

"Hmm, I wonder if Viggo's paying the bounty with Berk's gold?" Fishlegs offered.

"That much  irony should be illegal." Tuff said. "Let me see that." He grabbed the paper from my hands. "Wait a minute, there's no mention of us at all." He looked at his sister.

"It's all about Hiccup." Ruff realized with a roll of her eyes.

Tuffnut scoffed, "Typical. I demand a bounty be placed on us immediately and that the hounds be released."

"I'll put a bounty on y'all." I shrugged. "As long as you help."

"Thanks, Tu. I knew I could count on you." Tuff smiled.

"And I'll help you." Ruff decided.

"We'll need flattering pictures for the flyers." Tuff looked at me.

I nodded, "I got you."

"Oh, and we need a creepy alias, mine will be Nutte Tuff." He said in an accent.

"All right, enough about the bounty." Hiccup said. "Mine and yours. We have other things to do."

"I hate to say it, Hiccup, but it might be a good idea to lie low for a while, until this cools off." Heather told him.

"No way. That's playing right into Viggo's hands." Hiccup replied.

"Wait, you can't still planning on going to the party?" Dahlia spoke up.
