Rescued

Chapter 5

Alpha's POV
What was that? What was that voice in my head? My conscience? Just what is going on? I took to the skies and made head way to Berk. I wanted, no, needed someone. Someone to just talk to. I saw a Nadder and tried to talk to her. She was of absolutely no help. All she did was complement me and stuff like that. I tried again and again with other dragons, but received the same result. Ugh! I saw Hiccup walking to the forge where Gobber was working. Gobber... Why was I so mad at him for? My talking with Hiccup will have to wait, I have something more important to do. I ran up to Angel, my Viking treatment manager. "Angel, upgrade Gobber to priority level 2, the rest in Berk to priority level 5. Make the gang and their families priority level 1 as well. Oh, and Gothi is to have level 2 priority from now onwards." Angel gave a nod and went to deliver the message to others. Now, I need to talk to Hiccup.

Hiccup's POV
I got a dent in my flame sword and was on my merry way to the forge to get it repaired when a Viking management dragon handed Gobber a new hammer. What? I ran up to him and asked, "What's with the new hammer Gobber?" He looked at me and smiled, "Good news, I've been upgraded from level 4 to 2." "What did you do to get and upgrade like that?" "Nothing. Just happened." Just then, I saw a certain Viking walk towards me. I blinked to make sure I wasn't dreaming or hallucinating. It was a viking with long luxurious autumn brown hair, clear and bright emerald green eyes, shiny pink lips, wearing a dragon scale shirt and skirt that went all the way down to her ankles. She had two slim weapon I believe she called pistols at her hips, knifes partially concealed in her combat boots and another one of her guns, as she called them, on her back. She gave me a smile and gestured to the back room of the forge and I walked in. She followed and shut the door and locked it. Ok... Not like her. She gave me a look I haven't seen on her for a long long time, uncertainty. "Well?" I asked gently. "I need your help Hiccup. Please. I know I haven't been close to you these few years, but please, I need your help now." She asked, almost plead.

I nodded my head gently and she continued, "I need help understanding whatever I'm doing. I need to know what I am working to achieve. I need to know, why I feel so off, so out of balance." I nodded my head with a small smile, maybe Amber's coming back. After thinking for awhile, I answered, "You need to find it out for yourself. You need to find all those things out for yourselves. As to why you feel out of balance, you are probably feeling uncertainty, something you haven't felt in a long time. Chances are, you are feeling out of balance because there is a mental war going on inside of you, trying to figure out what is the right thing to do. How about this, make Toothless in command and take some time off on your own. You haven't taken a rest for years, also while you're at it, don't use your powers. Spend it as a human, it'll allow you to see things in a different  perspective." She gave me a smile before walking out the door. I gave a small sigh. It's all up to her now.

Alpha's POV
Well, I guess I will take some time off as a human. I saw Toothless and gave him the 'You're in-charge' sign and he gave a slight nod. I gave a loud whistle for Silverstorm. It suddenly occured to me that I haven't done it in years. She landed directly in front of me and bowed. I quickly shook my head and said, "I'm taking time off, I'm not the Alpha, at least for a week. You want to go back to SSQT island? We haven't been there for a long time. There should be no one there, I put a ban on that island years ago." Sher gave me nod and I hopped on her. She took off gracefully and was about to fly to SSQT island, when she suddenly said, "Alp- Amber, there is that escaped Marked one heading here. I can smell her. Do you want to wait in Berk for her?" 

I considered it. I decided that I would go and wait for her in one of the caves, but not capture her, but talk to her. I urged Silverstorm to a cave and she made a small fire. We sat there and played games that we haven't played in a long long time. Also, for the first time in years, I gave a real true smile. Night was rapidly approaching and soon, I heard a small thud outside the cave and footsteps. I widen my eyes and started walking slowly to the entrance of the cave where I saw the escaped Marked one, Eclipse.
