How To Train Your Dragon: Broken

The Missing Heir

Stoick the Vast sat the dinner table. He enjoyed these nights were it was just him and Valka. Though he didn't like the empty bed upstairs he understood why Hiccup had to live somewhere else. Having to go through that hell; one would like some alone time. But at the same time Stoick was proud of his son. Being able to go through all that and come out stronger; now that's a viking! The day had gone by rather quickly to Stoick surprise. And things seemed a lot easier as well. Oh course things are easier, Stoick thought. He had his family again and the war against dragons had ended long ago. But....how long is Hiccup gonna live separately? I'm not going to be around forever...I should have talk with him about-

Suddenly the front door flung open; it smacked the wooden wall with a loud crack! "Stoick!" Valka cried to her husband.

Stoick, after seeing the panic on her face, ran over to her. "Val what's wrong?" he gently held her hands.

"I can't find Hiccup anywhere," Valka explained, "Not on Berk or where he's staying."

"Are you sure he's not just out flying?" Stoick tried to comfort his wife the best he could but she only grew in worry.

Valka shook his head no, "No, he was suppose to help me relocate some Deadly Nadders early today but never showed. You know he never forgets about things like that."

That was true. If it involved a dragon, Hiccup would remember it for the rest of his life. This rose many red flags; if something terrible has to Hiccup....

"Stoick!"

Stoick looked past Valka and saw Edna and Elringr running to them with the same look of panic on their face. Stoick met them at the door, "What is it?"

"It's Astrid," Edna said in tears, "She hasn't returned. I-I know she's upset about the whole marriage thing but she would never run off."

"Stoick...do you think?" Valka asked the obvious question.

"Maybe," Stoick stood there and tried to understand the situation. Were they kidnapped? Or was whoever took them only after Hiccup and had to take Astrid as well? Stoick knew what he had to do. "Gather all the Tracking Class dragons!" Stoick shouted at the top of his lungs to anybody nearby, "We need to find my son and Astrid!"

I am so sorry for the mega shortness of this chapter! I originally planned for there to be a side story where Snotlout and Fishlegs tried to win over Ruffnut but decided to cut it. I had to completely rethink this chapter and chapter four. This chapter was originally going to be called "A Fish Thrown into the Mix" and chapter fpur was originally going to be "Should the Snot Chase the Nut?" I cut them out because I wanted to focus more on Hiccstrid. But now that I think of it I should of kept it. Again....I'm so sorry.
