"(Y/n), calm down." Astrid says, you were pacing back and forth "calm down? Our dragons have been taken god knows where with god knows what happening to them and you're telling me to calm down?" You snap, she winces at your sharp tone "I am not going to calm down!"
Hiccup steps in front of you "we will get them back, I promise. But we need to think of a plan. Let's go home, gather the gang and find them together." You stare deep into his eyes and release a long shaky breath "what if they're hurt?"
He brushes your hair from your eyes "they're tough. They'll be alright." You fall against his chest, burying your head into his shoulder sobbing softly. He holds onto you, slowly kneeling down down lowering you both to the floor "you're both exhausted, you've had a rough couple of hours. You need to rest." Fishlegs says, holding his hand out "We will take you home."
"I'm not going home without Spear." You say, looking up at him with tear filled eyes. "He's my best friend. Those trappers could be doing anything to him right now."

Fishlegs and Astrid look at each other "ok. I will go back and get the others. I'll bring back some food and water. You two take it easy in the meantime." She pats your shoulder and climbs on Stormfly "you coming, Fishlegs?"
"Hm? Oh yes! I'll bring the dart too. Maybe Valka can recognise the trappers sign engraved onto it."
They take off, leaving you and Hiccup still sat on the floor "let's go back into the cave for a while, at least then we will be covered." He stands up, gently pulling you up with him "my head is pounding." You whisper "me too. Whatever they used to put us out to sleep was some powerful stuff." Just as he finishes his sentence the colour in his face drains to almost white, he turns to a nearby bush and begins to vomit. You wince at the noice, rubbing his back as he empties the small amount of contents in his stomach. He gasps heavily "powerful stuff indeed." You say, he chuckles lighlty "I do feel a bit better to be honest."

You help him stand back up then walk to the cliff edge, rage pulsing through your veins "those bastards!" You scream, shooting at the empty space in front of you. Hiccup rests his hand on your shoulder "keep calm. We will get them back."
"How are you so chill about all this?" You ask, glaring at him slightly "trust me, I'm not." He replies, face serious "internally, I'm fuming. But I'm saving it for when we hunt down those trappers."

Astrid and Fishlegs soon return with the twins and Snotlout "I am here to save the day!" Snotlout announces, Hookfang rolls his eyes and shakes his rider off, sending him to the floor followed with a loud thud "you mean 'we' snotface." Ruffnut corrects him, you shake your head "so what happened exactly?"she asks, turning to you and Hiccup, Astrid face palms "I've already explained...three times!"
"True, but I'd like to hear it from the witnesses here." Ruffnut gestures to you, you glare at her "and the female witness as you can see, is not pleased and will take no further questions." Tuffnut cuts in, pushing his sister away. "anyway." Fishlegs draws out "I showed Valka the dart but she didn't recognise the carving. So we are kind of...blank." He clicks his tongue, you rub your temples with frustration "best thing we can do is hope your dragons can find Toothless and Spear's scents and find them that way." You pick up your bag "well, are we going?"
Everyone stares at you "what?" You snarl "ok, I'll just swim."
You stomp away "geez, she woke up on the wrong side of the....oh." Ruffnut stops herself "grass!" Tuffnut finishes, Hiccup shoots them both glares "you two really aren't helping." Astrid sighs "(y/n) hold up! You can ride with me, I brought food. You need to eat, dammit! Get back here!" She calls, chasing after you "you're with me, chief boy!" Snotlout chirps, slapping Hiccup on the back, making him fall forward a bit "now Hookfang, we have company flying with us." He leans closer to his dragon "he's the chief, very important. So you've gotta be on your best behaviour." Hookfang snorts a steam cloud at him in response "that's not best behaviour!" Snotlout scolds, Hiccup sighs, this was going to be an ear ache.

"You found anything yet, girl?" Astrid asks Stormfly who shakes her head in response, Astrid looks over her shoulder, you were sat in silence, looking down at your hands and the untouched sandwich you were clutching onto "you're supposed to eat that, not crush it." She says, you look at her unamused "sorry, sorry...but seriously, you need your strength."
You don't say anything, she understood that you were upset so doesn't say anything more, you look over to Hookfang, Hiccup looked just as gloomy, Snotlout was talking away. Hiccup seemingly ignoring him, more focused on the clouds.
