"You what?!" Jack blurted out in a rather outraged tone, his expression matched it exactly. He then groaned and ran a hand through his silvery white hair; you couldn't help but stare as he did so... this little habit of his... it always manages to melt your heart even when he does it without effort and knowing. "I can't believe you did that!"

Baron opened his mouth, probably planning to make a clever remark but Hiccup interrupted as he steered the conversation- which would've turned into an argument- into another direction. "I don't really think we have time for another argument," he began then looked over to Jack who still wore his exasperated face. "Jack, do you think you're able to fly? ...Or use your powers?" he asked, scanning Jack from bottom to top as if to check for any injuries that might've occurred when Pitch knocked him out.

"I was knocked out, not stabbed in the chest," Jack stated, the familiar humor filling his crystal blue orbs as he spoke. "I can whirl up a blizzard if you'd want me to."

"Well, good." Hiccup gave him a nod. "Because I need you to distract Marcus and his men while the three of us," he glanced to me and Baron.
"Will get on Toothless and fly to safety."

"Which is...?" Baron asked, not a slight amusement in his voice like it'd been earlier.

Hiccup let out a long sigh. "Berk, I'm taking (Y/N) to Berk."

Your eyes enlarged at his words. What?

"You do have the cure, right?" the viking questioned Baron.

"Well, I know it..." Baron trailed off. "But it's a little more complicated than tha-"

"Great then!" Hiccup faced away from his, not even bothering to hear the rest of what he had to say. He must really be in a hurry... and you had to agree, the footsteps aren't getting any quieter and time is running out. "Let's go."

"I'll meet you guys when you've reached far enough for them to stop following." Jack said before he soared into the dark, cloudy sky... it looked like it was about to rain...

"C'mon, (Y/N)." You felt Baron tugged on your hand and dragged you to where Hiccup stood beside Toothless.

Hiccup held out his arms to help me get on Toothless but Baron stopped him, "Don't worry, I got this. You just keep focus on steering the dragon in the right direction." You saw Hiccup scowl from the corner of your eye as Baron helped you up onto Toothless' back.

Once the two of you had settled, Hiccup swiftly hopped on as well, but his movements were much more graceful than yours, it looked as though it didn't take any effort for him to do so at all. Truthfully, even Baron was far more poised than you; you knew for sure that you didn't have even a single elegant bone in your body. Sometimes you really do question yourself why these guys are in love with you... Well, whatever it is they thought was special about you, you personally couldn't see it.

You were so lost in your thoughts that you didn't realized you were already in the air until the cold, harsh breeze hit your face like an icy slap. You shivered and Baron seemed to have noticed because he'd placed his arms around you. He looked up at you and murmured, "May I?"

You smiled weakly and nodded. Baron pulled you into his chest and you felt the soothing warmth of his body radiating off and melting away the cold that caused your hands to shiver. He smiled down at you and he glanced forward to Hiccup, whom had his back turned on us as he had to guide Toothless through the dark, gloomy clouds that filled most of the sky, before placing a swift kiss on the top of your head. You blushed and bowed your head down, trying to hide it and hope that Baron doesn't see.

Suddenly, a loud shriek came from Toothless as the Night Fury began to lose his control and started falling backwards. "Toothless!" Hiccup called out, his voice filled with utter worry. "He's been shot!"

"What?" you gasped, your eyes wide.

Hiccup moved forward, trying to comfort Toothless, trying to regain his control... But the pain shrieks and groans never stopped...

You didn't know how long it was... seconds or minutes... But darkness was upon all of you as you crashed brutally onto the dirt ground from above, and it engulfed you within moments after.
