Complicated. (...sort of)

Chapter 32

Hiccup's POV

I looked around this island we were stopped on. It looked friendly, small houses, little areas for farming, and one huge Great Hall. Or at least that's what I hope it is. The gang and I all got odd looks for being on the backs of dragons, but everyone would just turn and whisper to someone they knew, then continue their business with Johann. Typical.

"These dragons won't be looked at positively anywhere we go Master Hiccup. I'm afraid no one around here has heard about ehat you did. Well except the destroyers." Johann said as he walked up to us.

"It's no big deal. This happens all the time when we visit new places." I explained with a smile.

"Yeah usually we try to stay on Berk but this one." Astrid said and pointed her thumb at me. "Doesn't really like staying home."

"You can't tellme that those flights I took you on weren't amazing." I said.

"I'll admit they're amazing." Astrid admitted with a small smile.

Mercy's POV

"Just tell me who you are!" I demanded.

"You're not getting anything out of me little girl." He croaked. He suddenly became really still, then tipped forward, landing with a thud. When he landed I saw Cody with an iron rod, standing behind the unconcious person.

"RUN!" He shouted as he dropped the pipe and ran forward. He grabbed my arm and pulled me along with him, down farther into the dark tunnel.

"Where are we going?" I asked him as we continued our running.

"Away from that man." He responded blankely without turning around. We stooped at a dead end. "Oh no we're stuck!" I tapped the walls around us. Some made solid sounds while one echoed. 

"Cody find me something to break this with!" I told him and kept feeling for soft spots in the stone walls.

"Does a huge rock work?"

"Yes anything solid now come on give it to me!" I said and he struggeld to lift the rock. "Help me slam it into the wall." He grabbed the opposite side on the rock and we heaved it into the wall. It all crumbled a little bit, leaving a small crawl space to get through.

"You go first." He said and pushed my feet through the small space. Once I was through I stood up.

"Come on we don't know how long it'll be before that guy wakes up!" I said and pulled him through the wall. Once he was through we both stumbled onto the floor. We were standing in a room, with a desk and a shelf of weapons. On the other end in the ceiling was a trap door. "Look right there!" I said and ran over to it. I grabbed the chair from the desk and pushed the door open. "Oh gods Cody it's daylight!"

"Really? Where does it lead out to?"

"It looks like a forest." I said and pulled myself up and through the door. I layed in the soft grass that surrounded the area. Cody emerged from the door about 30 seconds later and handed me 2 knives and a sword.

"I figured we could use this stuff in case we have to defend ourselves." He said and put his sword on his back. He shut the trap door and covered it with a large rock, almost the size of a small boulder.

"I wonder if there are wild dragons here." I said and sprung up. He just stared at me. "What?"

"Wild dragons? Mercy I think that head wound is messing you up." He said and stood up while giving me a skeptical look.

"Oh come on you've heard of Berk. Training dragons is basically all we're known for."

"Yes but remember they're WILD dragons." He said.
