As soon as I had my things together I started to head out Toothless said he would only let Hiccup ride him,I wanted to strangle that stubborn dragon the chances of Hiccup riding him again are slim. If he does not come with me. Day brought me a deadly nadder it was love at first sight. I loved everything about her and she seemed to like me too I smiled and rubbed her scales .

“Hi Stormfly “. I said randomly  "Huh, stormfly I like that" I thought as I packed up the last of my things and hopped on Stormfly. The guys came to see me off and wished me luck on my journey . I said they had nothing to worry about.  Little did I know Mildew had the outcasts ready to ambush me.

Luckily Alvin and the outcasts did not have a dragon. So, I flew straight through the ambush. I was shocked but knew I could make it through they brought catapults, spears, and other weapons and tried to throw me off the Nadder. But, she zigzagged and spun away from their line of fire I looked back while smiling triumphantly

Alvin looked at me with anger and alarm he was shocked and curious about how I came about riding the Nadder without being hurt needless to say I was not surprised this was coming dragons had been an issue for hundreds of years .

But, no one was more predjuice towards dragons than Mildew. He was the one that suggested to torch their island to Hiccup’s father normally he would disregard anything Mildew said. Everyone considered him to be a crazy grouchy old man who had nothing better to do than to hate and protest against the dragons.

Hiccup’s reputation in the village was bad but Mildew had taking his reputation off the cliff. And now he is teaming up with with Alvin .

“You have to try harder then that Alvin “! I shouted confidently as I turned around as Stormfly shot spikes from her tail.

Alvin the Chief of the outcasts and leads Outcast island The Outcasts and Berks are arch enemies. It is hard enough dealing with Mildew but Alvin and Mildew together?  What did Mildew bribe them with? It must have been great Alvin doesn’t just help anyone.

Before I could solve the puzzle I was shot at by arrows. I looked down and saw a girl with a eye patch over her left eye she had a scar across her right cheek she had wild flowing red hair and one beautiful blue eye.

She looked at me sadly and lowered her arrow I looked down at her with confusion Alvin glared at her and said  “What do you think you're doing Merida attack her! “

She quivered with fear and said  “N-no I will not harm her you promised that if I helped you I would let go of my parents  you did not say I had to harm anyone “!

Merdia was the princess of Scotland or at least was . She was just riding Angus her horse after a long day of  shooting her arrows she  came home to find her kingdom in ruin .Her parents were tied up and being held captive by Alvin and the outcasts , her three younger brothers are forced to row the boats and if not they were severely punished she used to be a brave confident capable young women .

She had tried taking on Alvin and the outcasts but the odds were not on her side she was overpowered, taken prisoner and tortured until her confidence and her sense of self were gone their was nothing left in her but hope. that things will go back to the way it was.

“Do as I say, or your parents will be thrown in the lava pit"! “ Alvin said as he pulled on her hair  I could not bare to watch it any longer

I flew lower and held my hand out “ Get on I can save your Parents”.

Merida looked at me hesitantly and said  “How can I trust you I don’t even know you “!she snapped I smiled a bit she had raised a fair point. If I were her I probably would not trust me either but I knew I could win her trust.

Alvin threw his hammer at me causing stormfly to dodge out of the way  and then go back to Merida she took my hand hesitantly and Said ,

“Please get me out here anything is better than being with a jerk like him “.she shrieked

I looked down at her sadly and said "It is alright I after we are done with my journey we can go and je"- I was interrupted by Alvin throwing spears at Stormfly.

She could not dodge them all with the extra weight of my stuff and Merida and I on board she moved much slower the spear shot right at Storm Fly's wings. She  was sent flying with me and Merida . The last thing I was was Alvin’s feet and Merida looking down at me with sorrow and grief before everything went black.

Hours later, I woke up experiencing a little bit of nausea I waited until my eyes adjusted to the darkness I saw a hole blow me  and I sighed.

"I can’t believe I let myself get kidnapped on my first day I was too confident I should have come up with a plan first"...I thought bitterly with shame.

“You okay”? I flinched slightly startled  and then recovered and looked down to see Meridia scrubbing  the floor  I was tied to the back of the mast with Outcast men guarding me and keeping a close eye on Merida knowing what is cable of.

“How long have been held captive”? I asked hesitantly  

"Oh yeah, that is a great start to a friendship" I thought sarcastically

She stopped cleaning the deck and paused momentarily to look at me and then looked and started again “ Three years but you get used to it for awhile I hardly ever see my mother anymore or anyone for that matter, we are locked in separate cells. Who knows? They could be after Berk next”. she said

“What was your life like before they captured you”? I asked

“I was constantly being told how to live my life by my mother. I come from a family of royalty I was supposed to be the example being the oldest. But, I was naive and foolish too confident and fool of myself. I tried to fight them off but I was outnumbered” Merida said sadly

“Sounds rough”.  I said supportively as I tried to look for a weak point in the robes to escape I gestured Merida to come closer she crawled towards me to avoid being seen by the guards in front of her and whispered,  “What is it”?  

“My axe is tied to my back I need to to reach it so I can get us out of this fix". .I whispered. as I looked down towards my back

she gasped and said ““Are you crazy do you want me to die”?

“No but what other options do we have “? I asked

“I guess you distract them I will get your axe and then afterwards we retrieve my bow alvin as it under lock and key” she said with disdain and apprehension

I nodded and watched her go she waved her hands and said  “Hey you over grown troll look at me “.

The guard turned around and then ran after her and shouted “ The prisoner is escaping stop her”!  

Meridia had the guards in a wild goose chase around the deck I watched with perplexity and mild amusement  as she dropped a bucket of water on the ground causing the guards to slip and fall.

She stole one of the guards swords and ran towards me and sliced the ropes that tied me to the mast clean off.  She quickly grabbed me and lead me to the seller where they were holding Stormfly and Merida’s bow in a treasure chest on the top shelf.

The guards had fallen asleep next to chest and one of them foolishly had the key. She had pulled the key straight off the Guards belt he moved slightly startling Merida sweat dropping from her brow he turned to the side and continued to sleep.

Merida sighed with relief and twirled the key chain around her index figure and then grabbed it and said, “We did it !

"We are not off the hook yet". I stated with hatred

 Alvin approached us and sighed," How many times have I told them not to fall asleep on the job it is so hard to find good help these days well what are you two watching for attack them "! he snapped at the men behind him.

“But boss they are just kids and all they want to do is to leave we should let them go” he said hesitantly I started at him with shock he looked like he was around my age with spiky grey hair and ice blue eyes he wore the outcast armour but held a staff.  

"Shut up boy if you ever hope to be believed in you will help me capture them again"? Alivin said coldly a evil smirk playing on his lips the boy looked at him sadly and then looked up and I could see the gulit in his eyes he did not want to do this, none of his soliders wanted to. They were forced to work for him. Alivin had taken their familes and their homes.  

"Who are you why are helping him"? I stated

 Merida looked at me with confusion and said,  “Who are talking to I do not see any thing”? she tried blinking her eyes and winching them to see the boy but she could not see them.

He looked at me with shock and said  “You can see  me?”.

I nodded and looked at him and said, "Who  are you"?

"My name is Jack frost and I will help you get out of here". He said with determination in his eyes he had to get his staff otherwise he could not help them but now?  

“Oh no you won’t boy “. said Alvin as he grabbed his staff and snapped it in half and looked at him with triumph

Jack grabbed the staff and concentrated for a moment and then the staff was back together as if nothing happened .

Jack glared at him and then shot a blue beam at Alvin the beam hit him right on target  he was frozen!

“How did you”-

“There is no time lets grab your dragon and  go ! He snapped at me

He froze the robes and then kicked them and they shattered .Stormfly was free Merida ,Jack and I  went on Stormfly and left outcast’s ship with great haste.

“Next stop outcast island”.  I yelled with anticipation.
