Astrid's POV

Jack fell asleep on my shoulder while we were sitting outside. I knew he had something to hide and I can't force it out of him even if I tried, he will tell me in his own time, I know he will.

I slowly lift him from my shoulder, and being the strong person I am, I took him back to the guest house and laid him down on the bed. "We'll get him back Jack, don't worry," I whispered back to him as I left the house.

As I turn around I see Merida and her friends heading towards me, well more like the house. "Hey you okay?" I asked her. She nodded and so did the others. She pulled me into a hug and I felt a tear drop from her eyes. We broke apart and we gave a small smile before she went inside.

I headed back to my house and silently went inside so I wouldn't wake up my parents. I crept up the stairs and climbed into bed. What were we doing? We were just living our lives while Hiccup was in a dreadful place right now. We had to get him back but we had to do it carefully and not relentlessly.

What are we gonna do?

Jack's POV

"Jack...." I heard someone cal out my name. I couldn't sleep, I had so much running through my mind, Hiccup, Hiccup, Hiccup nothing else it was just him and all I wanted was to get him back. I didn't know why, at first I said just leave him but now I wanna get him back with everything I got and I won't stop until I do. But strange thing is I thought I heard him call out my name.

I couldn't sleep, so I headed outside to take a walk and for air. I kept saying to myself he couldn't have called my name I mean he's so far away there is no way. As I was walking I figured I found my way down to the beach. But I wasn't alone. I saw this small figure standing on the edge of the water gazing out at the sea where the moon kissed the water.

She had her down and it was flowing against the crash of the wind. She was wearing a blue striped top and a spiked skirt. I knew who she was straight away by looking at her. "Can't sleep?" I asked Astrid walking up to her. I believe I startled her because she jumped at the sight of me. But quickly relaxed straight afterwards.

"No," she replied, she sank to the bottom of the sand. "Me neither," I said as I sank to the bottom too. "I just can't help but keep thinking were just sat here and not doing anything and living our lives," she had sadness written in her voice. "We'll help him I know we will and with you they are in for a good beating I can tell," she laughed.

"How about you, what's keeping you up?" I sighed. There was so much it was mostly just him but also, "I thought I heard him calling out my name?" she turned her head to face me as she was raising her eyebrows in confusion. "You see we have this bond and we can sometimes hear each other or feel what each other are feeling, it's kind of strange but that's how we know if something is wrong or we need each other," she looked back out to sea and replied "Nah that's not strange that's just.....cute," what?

"Anyway but when he called out for me, he sounded like he was in pain and weak. But then I felt the pain as well and it felt like...." she looked back at me and cried "Felt like what?" I sighed and said "It felt like he was dying."

The sadness was no longer in her voice but written all over her body "We have to get him back Astrid before anything serious happens to him."

I watched her body tense up and her expression turn from grace to anger and she stammered, "Oh we will, don't you worry!"
