The soul of a dragon (Completed)

Chapter 11: Intruder

Hiccup and Toothless stayed hidden in the bushes for quite some time.

"Hey, A! I think the dragon is already gone, you know?", said Tuffnut to her friend. She grunted in frustration. "We were so close! I just... I don't understand! The dirt is still wet and no sign of  any Night Fury! It must be somewhere are here!", replied Astrid, "We should just... look around here and maybe we'll find something."

"Astrid... there's nothing here...I'm sorry. I really am. We should just get back to Berk and tell Stoick we didn't find it," said Fishlegs in a sad voice. She sighed and said: "Alright... Let's go back, then..." After they left, Hiccup was relieved.

They stayed hidden for a few minutes, just to make sure nobody was around. They then started to walk further away from the village. They had walked for about an hour when they found a small cave. The rider and his dragon decided to set camp in it for the day... or for how many days there going to be stuck on the island.

Hiccup started a fire and sat down next to it. Toothless, on his side, laid down at the end of the cave and immediately fell asleep. "Well this is quite the adventure, don't you think Too-", started to say the rider, but stopped as soon as he saw his friend. He scoffed. "Alright! I guess I'll just... go... get more wood! Yeah!" He left his buddy to his nap and started to wander through the forest.

It was getting darker by the minute, but Hiccup didn't care. He knew his way through these woods. He picked up some branches along the way. As Hiccup began to walk towards the cave, he felt a sudden pain behind his head and then... everything went black. When he opened his eyes, the sun was already up and shining.

"Ow... That hurt...", whispered the rider to himself. When his eyes finally adjusted to the lighting, he was in a place he had never seen before... or did he? "Who are you and what were you doing it the forest!?", said... a girl? His vision was still a bit blurry so it was a little difficult for him to see.

"Did you hit me in the head?", Hiccup asked. Her (?) expression changed from aggressive to casual. "Oh no. A heard something in the woods last night and she hit you with a piece of wood... You should consider being less noisy next time," replied the... person. The situation Hiccup was in was getting weirder.

Hiccup wanted to get up, but he realized he was attached to the chair he was sitting in. "Um... okay. Do you think you could help me out here?", asked the rider to the person. "Sorry. No can do. I mean, you look like a really reasonable guy and all but... Astrid said that we need to interrogate you or... whatever," replied the...

"Wait! Tuff!?", shouted Hiccup, realizing who he was talking to. "Yeah! Wait. How did you know my name?" "I-I... I heard it early in... the forest...", said Hiccup. He let out a nervous chuckle as Tuffnut frowned.

"Okay! That makes sense!", the boy said. The rider was surprised he let it go so easily.To be fair, it is Tuffnut we are talking about.

"Tuffnut! Stop talking to him!", shouted a girl. When Hiccup realized it was actually Astrid, he whispered to himself: "Oh Gods! I'm so dead."

"Alright, let's get this over with. Who are you?", asked the girl, pointing her axe at Hiccup, "Let me guess... You're a dragon hunter, are you?"

Well, I'm sort of... Wait... What?! Y-You think I'm a hunter?!", replied Hiccup, raising his voice. "Why else would you be here? You're looking for the Night Fury, right?", she asked to him. Hiccup was agape.

No only was he stuck on Berk, but he was now a prisoner... Astrid's prisoner!
