The prince and the wash girl

Hiccup

 Prince Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third was riding his horse Toothless in the forest with Lord Snotlout, Sir 'Fishlegs', Sir Eret, his brother-in-law Prince Dagur, and his twin sister Princess Erica. Suddenly the horses began to run away from each other, and Erica's horse, Spots, began to run in the opposite direction from everyone else.

"ERICA!" Hiccup shouted, trying to follow his sister, but Toothless wouldn't listen to his master.

"We'll catch up with her later, your highness. Let's get back to the castle and figure out what's wrong with the horses." Sir Fishlegs said as they began to head toward Berk's castle.

When they arrived, they dismounted, and the stable boy Gustav began to check them out.

"I don't see anything wrong with them, your highness. Was there anything unusual near the trail?" Gustav asked.

"No. Not that we saw," Sir Eret spoke up.

"Hmmm. I don't know what's the matter."

They all stood there for a minute before Hiccup said, "Let's head inside. Dinner (Lunch) should be almost ready."

They began to walk to the side doors of the castle. When they got there, they walked into the dining hall. King Stoick sat at a table, already eating lunch. He looked up and said, "Where's your sister Hiccup?"

They all looked at each other before Hiccup said, "She got separated from the group, Dad. All the horses got spooked, and Spot took off toward the village. We will go look for her after dinner (lunch)."

The king said nothing else but began to eat. Everyone sat down to do the same when Lady Heather walked into the room and sat next to her brother, Dagur, and her fiancé, Sir Fishlegs.

"Where's Erica? I meant to talk to her." Heather said.

"She got separated from the group. We were going to look for her after the meal." Fishlegs said.

Heather bit her lip nervously, but no one noticed.

"I hope she'll be careful. And safe." Heather thought as she began to eat her meal.
