chapter 24

Hiccups POV

I heard loud noises from outide startling all of us. It sounded almost as if someone was trying to attack this place. I ran outside to see an armada of men and armored dragons waiting at our doorstep. How could this have happened? Who were these people. They didnt look friendly. I could feel my stomach twist in knots. Then my dad appears beside me and instead of looking worried like I probably was he looked angry.

"Drago" venom laced my fathers words.

"Who?" I ask.

"Drago bludvist. He is a madman with a thirst for blood. But he wouldnt come here unless he had leverage of soms sort" if what he was saying was true what was the leverage?

"DRAGO WISHES A PEACEFUL AUDIENCE WITH HICCUP OF BURK. HE HAS SOMETHING OF VALUE TO YOU" someone bellows from below. Everyone looks at me almost accusingly

"Why are you all looking at me? I have no idea what he's talking about! Which is why im going to check it out" I say. I hop on toothless and fly down before anyone can stop me.

I land infront of a man in a heavy cloak, who sported dreadlocks and was covered in scars.

"Finally we meet hiccup" he says calmly. An ugly smirk plastered on his ugly face.

"What do you want fom me? I have nothing of value to you"

"But I have somthing of value to you"

"And what would that be? I cant recall anything of value to me missing"

"BRING HER IN!" he shouts to one of his men. Her? I don't recall missing anyone. Especially not a girl

"GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF ME! I AM THE QUEEN OF ARENDELLE I HAVE AN ARMY AT MY DISPOSAL AND I ORDER YOU TO UNHAND ME!" someone cries in the distance. But I could detect the fear in her voice, the worry and the despair. Because I knew that voice all too well. It wasnt hard to ut two and two together now. Little images played through my mind so fast they were a blur.

Then a man comes back holding a girl. She was a fihter alright. When she saw me she turned her face away as if ashamed to be seen by me. And my heart ached. The images began to slow down and I could make them out easier. Her name was Elsa. And I loved her.

Drago grabbed her and the man walked off

"Recognize her?" He asks. I just stare in shock,not sure of what to do.

"Show him your pretty face dearie. Dont be shy" drago taunts. He grabbed her hair so her face so she could look right at me. She was pale with platinum blode hair. Electeic blue eyes. But it wasn't her appearance that I worried me. What worried me was that there was a cut just above her lip and a bruise just next to her eye. It was a relief to see her. But I was scared to see her like that. How long had drago had her? And how long had he been torturing her? No matter what the answers were to those questions I was angry at drago

"Hey its okay. Im gonna get you out of this Elsa just trust me" I said to her but the look she gave me told me she didnt believe me. Then my parents and the rest of the gang flew down

"If you do not hand me burk within the next five minutes. She dies" he held a knife up to her neck. I didnt know what to do. But I was panicking. A lot.

"Dont waste your breath. Hiccup said it himself. Im a monster that deserves to die. Hes ashamed to be associated with me" she said sharply and her words cut me like a knife. How could she ever even think I would see her as that way? She is no monster to me

"I will say this once. Let. Her. Go" venom lacing my words. I pull out my flame sword and got ready to fight if I had to

"surrender burk and she goes free" I thought for a few moments and slowly lowered my weapon. I will not let her die

"Fi-" my dad cuts me off

"Burk will not be surrendered for the life of one girl" I glare at him

"Fine then. She stays with me and we will take it by force" he pulls her back. I try to run after them but dad holds me back.

"Dad let me go! I wont let her die!"

"You dont have a choice. Right now we need to fight his armies. And his alpha" his what? And sure enough a large grey alpha was visible in the distance.
