Astrid's POV

Toothless raises his ears, listening. "What is it boy?" I ask. Toothless moans, his eyes forming slits.

"Do you think Dagur is coming?" Fishlegs asks, fidgeting in worry.

"No. Something went wrong with the others, I think. Come on." We fly off towards where we saw the ships docked yesterday.

"Hiccup? Do you think Dagur captured them?"

"Astrid's smarter than that." I say, though I mean Hiccup.

Snotlout's POV

I pace back and forth, worry gripping on to me. "What are we supposed to do now? Dagur has Astrid, my love, and we have no clue where Hiccup and Fishlegs are!"

"Snap out of it." Tuff scolds, slapping me across the face. I shake off the pain, glaring at him.

Wait, no Astrid and no Hiccup... A smile spreads on my lips. "It's time for Snotlout Jorgensen to step up and become the hero." I say puffing out my chest. Like I have to puff it out anymore. Ooo. I flex my nicely toned muscles for more infuses.

"Oh great.He's back." Ruff moans.

Hiccup always saves Astrid, but he's not here to get in my way this time. "Let's move out!" I instruct. The twins groan as they follow, our dragons behind us.

Hiccup's POV

I wake up tied to a post.

"The girl. Ooo. If we have her, Hiccup will eventually come to save her, resulting in me finally capturing that night fury. It will be the girl, or the dragon. His choice." Dagur cackles as he paces in front of me. He hasn't realized I'm awake yet, I guess.

"That's some plan Dagur." I smirk. The only problem with his plan is, the two he wants to use against me are safe.

"Why Ms. Hofferson, you're awake. how nice of you to join us. My, my, you've grown up nicely. It's been a while." he smiles at me. I scowl at him, annoyed. I can't believe he's actually flirting with my girlfriend. Snotlout I'm used to, but this is just disturbing. "You know I was wondering... What is this?" he asks showing me Inferno.

"Hey! You put your hand in my boot?" I ask uncomfortable by the idea.

"No. It fell out on the way. When we were carrying you." I roll my eyes. "Another thing. Isn't this Hiccup's shield?" he adds taking my shield off of his back.

"What do you want Dagur?" I groan.

"The night fury, duh!"

"It's a good plan really, but Hiccup's not coming. He doesn't even know I'm gone." I say as a matter-of-fact.

"That wont last for long. Besides, it wont matter where he is when I take Berk."

"You're not going to win Dagur. You never do." I say trying to annoy him.

"Shut up! Or I will kill you next time instead of knocking you out."

"Go ahead. See how far that gets you." I retort, smiling.

"Dgh-ahh!" he grumbles in agitation.

He stomps off, taking my weapons with him. I lean back against the post, frustrated. I told everyone else not to get caught and I'm the one tied up, and now Stormfly's in danger with me. Stormfly! I scan the shore for her, finally spotting a blue creature a ways away.

"Stormfly!" I call. She lifts her head, squawking at me in relief. "Your ok." I breathe, glad. I hear a low rustle from the woods behind me. I turn my head in that direction, curious.

Snotlout's POV

I inch my way to the side of the cave I saw Dagur enter.

"Could you go any slower?" Ruff complains.

"Yeah, but what good would that do?" Tuff retorts.

I roll my eyes, ignoring them. I duck, hiding behind some shields and catapults they have set out near the mouth of the cave.

"Dagur, what are we doing here?" one man asks sounding annoyed.

"Ugh. I've told you. This is a diversion. I knew those pesky dragon riders would see our ships and want to come check it out, taking the bate. and it seems to me, it working. They are here. I have Astrid tied up as proof. Where there's one, the rest will follow." Dagur cackles mischievously.

"But I thought we were attacking Berk?" the same Berserker from before asks, still confused.

"We are, you idiot! Ugh!" Dagur shouts, shoving the man. "Do I have to explain everything twice?" The man stands up, taking his position again. "While we are here, the rest of the armada are surrounding Berk. And with the village under siege, the people captured, Hiccup will have to hand over the night fury. And even if he does, the village will still be destroyed."

My eyes widen. Oh, no. It was a trap. Stupid Hiccup. If I had been in charge, I wouldn't have lead us back to the island. I would have stayed on Berk.

"What are we going to do?" Ruff asks, worried.

"I don't know. Where are Hiccup and Astrid when you need them?" I respond.

"Did you hear something?" a Berserkian asks.

"Uh... Did you?" another answers. We freeze, afraid to move a muscle. I hold my breath, my heart beating frantically. I jump when I feel a hand on my shoulder.
