Scattered Hearts (~The Big Four/Hiccelsa~)

Chapter 16: The Search

"I need to find him!"

Who the hell am I looking for? What am I thinking?

Him?

I yelled out of the blue as my mind got screwed up when I thought about it. On the midnight sky, Toothless was concentrating on the flight while I was looking for a place to hide from those crazy bastards. I took a deep breath then exhaled slowly, trying to remain calm. As far of this adventure, this was worse than 5 years ago. Not to mention that I've been beat up that almost broke my bones.

"Damn those bastards! I'll pay them for what they've done!"

Suddenly, a familiar strange voice popped in my head again. It's him.

"Guardian..."

I gasped as soon as he spoke. Why did he called me... a Guardian?

"Who are you? What do you want?"

"If you wish to find me... follow the stars..."

"What...? Stars?" I whispered to myself.

I thought about what he said. He said something about stars. I looked up to the midnight sky. When I did, the stars soon to spark, forming a path that might lead to his whereabouts. Now I know what's he talking about. The weather couldn't get any better as it's starting to get snow, soon there might be snowstorm probably. I looked at my back, hearing Elsa was whimpering from her sleep, probably having nightmares as usual. Then, I looked back to my flight position, seeing dark-like creatures coming from nowhere.

"What the...?!"

They charged towards us before Toothless dodged them easily. I looked back to see if they were coming back and they did. Now these freaks were now on our tail.

"C'mon, bud! We need to lose them!" I ordered Toothless.

The Night Fury was flying with maximum speed. Those things weren't be able to catch up to us as we lose sight of them. I sighed in relief as it was over... for now. Toothless slowly decreased his flight speed into normal one. What are those things? I thought about it for a moment. Those freaks showed up AS SOON AS Elsa whimpered from her slumber. They must've something to do with her. I looked at my back again, seeing her sleeping peacefully without making a sound like the whimper before or something.

"It's probably best if she's sleeping like this. Or else they might chasing us again." I thought.

"Follow that light, bud." I said, pointing the stars for him. He growled before nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile...

Rapunzel POV

The boy on fire...

Flame breath...

Red eyes...

Dragon roar...

I gasped from my sleep as I woke up. What am I seeing in my dream? It's seemed familiar when I tried to recall what was popping in it. The red eyes... dragon roaring... breathed flame... the boy on fire... wait a minute. Boy on fire?

"Oh no... Hiccup...!"

I got up and put my winter coat on then went outside the tent. My eyes were searching around for Jack and Merida, who were staying late at night. For a few minutes of searching, I found them resting by the campfire while sipping some hot chocolates and chatting. I ran towards them to tell them about what I just saw in my dream, whether it's true or not.

"Guys...!!" I called them while regaining my breath.

"Woah, chill out, Punz. Aren't you supposed to sleep by now? We told you that we need to stay late tonight, remember?" Jack said, reminding me about what he told me this morning.

"What's the matter? Is there something you wanna talk about?" Merida asked before she took a sip of the hot chocolate cup in her hands.

As I finally regained my breath, I began telling them what's bothering in my mind. To tell you the truth, we never had this kind of conversation before since we were kids. Usually we just mind our own business and did anything that could fill our leisure time like reading books, playing or something like that. But this time, it was about strange memories that appeared in my dream when I was asleep. It's like the memories were trying to warn me about something. Also, we're getting more serious the longer we talked about it.

"So... you're telling me those memories of yours can somehow predict the future?" Merida inquired, seeking some answers from me.

"Yeah... I supposed..." I said, feeling quite unsure about my answer to her question.

Jack, on the other hand, was staring down on the ground with his fingers folding together. Merida and I looked at each other as our minds were wondering what was he thinking about.

"Jack, what are you thinking?" I interrupted his thoughts.

"Could it be that Hiccup..." he lost his words.

"Hiccup is what, Jack?" Merida questioned him in high tone, feeling impatiently for thinking too long.

"Punz, you said there's a dragon roar in your dream, right?" He asked me.

"Yeah. Why?"

"We heard it. Just a few hours ago." Jack and Merida said in unison.

"What?!" I said in disbelief.

"You probably didn't hear it because you were sleeping during that time." Merida said.

"Not just us. The whole camp heard it, Punzie." She added.

"Then that means..." I mumbled.

The three of us gasped in surprised as we knew what could this possibility means.

"We have to find Hiccup!!" I said, planning a rescue mission.

"I'll get my horse ready. Pack your things. We are leaving tonight." Merida said, determined to find our friend.

"Alright, let's not waste our time here. C'mon!" Jack said, ushering us to do it faster.

After everything was done, we're ready to leave. Merida told her hunter friends to keep an eye on the camp while Jack told Kai about our department.

"Stay safe, you three." Kai said, watching us who were about to took off.

"We will." Merida said, putting a smile on her face for him.

Jack was going to glide in midair while Merida and I rode on her horse.

"C'mon." Jack motioned to the woods.

"Let's go, Angus!!" Merida bashed her horse to sprint forward.

While we're on the journey, I couldn't stop thinking about my dream. Especially Hiccup.

"Hiccup... please be safe..."
