The Hunt

Chapter 11:The Hunt

This chapter takes place in third-person.Sorry for constantly changing the POVs! :3

The dragon riders rounded up the twins and Snotlout to join them on their search."Okay,we have to split up and find Castaway and Gustav.If you find Gustav,take him to the Academy and give a Night Fury call.If you find Castaway,lead him back to Yannied.I'll be searching the area around the Great Hall and the plaza.Astrid,you search the lower part of the village where all the animal pens are.Fishlegs,you search the cliffs and rocky mountains near the northern sea.Snotlout,you go to the other side of town,where Mildew lives.Ruff,Tuff,search the sea surrounding Berk.Okay,let's go!"Hiccup instructed.Everyone nodded.They split up to find the lost pair.

Hiccup and Toothless searched the area around the Great Hall.They flew over the crowded plaza,but there was no sign of the dragon or the boy."Toothless,where could they have gone?"Hiccup asked his best friend.They scanned the area several times,hoping to find at least one of the missing pair.But all they saw were Vikings talking,young Vikings playing 'dragon-tag' and Gobber tending to a dragon's teeth."Bud,maybe we'll have better luck at the beach,"Hiccup patted Toothless' head.They flew away to Bork's Beach.

Astrid and Stormfly scoured the lower part of the village where all the sheep and yak pens were."That Gustav could well be hiding behind a yak for all I know,"she said.They flew lowly over the numerous pens.Suddenly,Stormfly whipped out her tail and shot a spine directly beside a yak.The yak galloped away in panic.Astrid looked closer at the object that stood beside the yak.She suddenly laughed."Stormfly,you mistook a scarecrow for Gustav!"she giggled.The two continued looking for Gustav until they felt certain Gustav was not hiding there.With that,they decided to search in the upper part of the village where all the houses were.

Fishlegs and Meatlug were busy hovering near the cliffs.Fishlegs felt his stomach growling loudly."Uh-oh,I think I'm hungry,"he patted his belly,trying to remember a place where he could eat without any of the gang spotting him..Meatlug suddenly zoomed to a cliff.She landed with a bump on the cliff.Fishlegs groaned when Meatlug headed for a huge pile of rocks."Meatlug,we have to search for Gustav!If we don't,Hiccup will kill us!"Fishlegs threw his hands up in exasperation.Meatlug ignored him and happily gobbled down the rocks.Fishlegs sighed and watched on helplessly.Then,when Meatlug lumbered away in search of more rocks,he spotted a thick bush that was absolutely covered with berries!Fishlegs gave a squeal of delight and rushed forth.He grabbed a whole handful of berries and stuffed them into his mouth.He liked the taste,and thus ate and ate and ate to sate his enormous appetite without a care in the world.

Snotlout was grumbling and complaining about having the worst place to search."Of all places he could choose from,I had to search here!Where Mildew's house is!I hate Hiccup!"Snotlout yakked on and on.Hookfang was busily eating cabbages which Mildew had grown with tender care.He hadn't heard a single word Snotlout had uttered.

The sudden rustling of leaves interrupted Snotlout's never-ending list of complaints.He frowned and looked around warily.Hookfang growled and sniffed the air.The rustling came again,louder this time.Snotlout's face turned pale.He hastily mounted Hookfang.

Out of the blue,a wild Monstrous Nightmare came flying out of a thick forest nearby.Snotlout yelled in panic.The Nightmare circled Hookfang,keeping a sharp eye on him all the time.Snotlout was trembling.The wild Nightmare roared at Hookfang and suddenly aimed a fireball at him.Luckily,Hookfang dodged just in time.But it was seriously unfortunate for Mildew,because he was behind Hookfang and received a fireball to the face.

"YOU PESKY BRAT OF A DRAGON RIDER!I'll HAVE YOUR DRAGON'S SKIN FOR MY SHEEP'S BLANKET IF I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN!"a sooty-faced and rather upset Mildew shouted after Snotlout,who was flying away on Hookfang at top speed.He decided to search somewhere else more serene:Quiet Meadows.

The twins were hovering in the middle of the sea,with the shore insight."Hey sis,I'm hungry.Do you have any food?"Tuff asked."If I had any,I would've eaten it right now,"Ruff shot back.Tuff pouted."I don't see Gustav anywhere.What does he look like,anyways?"Tuff questioned."I don't know.Just look for a random person floating in the middle of the sea,"Ruff shrugged her shoulders."Like that guy?"Tuff pointed to a young boy floating on a saddle in the distance."Yup.Exactly like him,"Ruff nodded.

Hiccup was searching the beach when he spotted the twins."Maybe they have something,bud.Let's go,"Hiccup patted Toothless.They flew to the twins."Ruff,Tuff,any news yet?"Hiccup asked when he neared the twins."Nope.Haven't found anything,"Ruff shook her head,"unless you count that guy over there,"she continued,pointing to the boy on the saddle.Hiccup squinted,then face-palmed."Guys,that is Gustav!"Hiccup cried out.He flew to the stranded boy.

"Gustav?"Hiccup yelled.Gustav looked up.His face broke into a relieved grin."Hiccup!Save me!"he flailed his arms.Hiccup grabbed hold of Gustav's arms and hoisted him up onto the saddle behind him."Guys,head straight back to the Academy.And Gustav,"Hiccup's voice lowered to a dangerous tone,"you have some explaining to do."
