A/N: Before I post this, I have to get something off my chest, and some of you will probably hate me for this, but it's my opinion and I have the right to say it.

I watched Frozen for the first time the other day. It was... okay. Everyone kept going on and on about how great it was. My curiosity rose and I had to see it. Well... let's just say the good points first because I don't want anyone to think I hated it.

It was inspirational, funny, and cute. Olaf was adorable and so was that reindeer. I can't remember his name. The ice castle was gorgeous, and the characters were well developed.

Now let's get to what I didn't like about it.

Singing. Gosh, the singing was annoying. I mean, come on Disney, really? Disney needs to stop doing that. I mean, some kids think it's great, but they should take a note from Dreamworks and age their content a little. You can't beat How to Train Your Dragon, Disney.

Also, there is that one pesky thing that bothers me nearly every time I see a Disney Princess movie. There are no sacrifices. Think about it.

When you watch Frozen, do you see anything any of the characters have to live without in the end? Besides their parents I mean, but that happened 3 years before the plot. Of course there are exceptions. But mostly Disney ends up tying up everything like a pretty little bow. I hate it. This shows the writers aren't willing to give anything up, teach kids about what it's like to lose something that's important to you. They might, but they end up giving it back to them in an instant.

In HTTYD's case Hiccup's left leg and Toothless' left tail fin was a bittersweet little twist at the end of something amazing. Hiccup lost something, but he gained something more, and that is a story, folks.

Characters are supposed to loose friends and things that are dear to them in the end. This gives the characters depth and gives us an ability to see that they are human.

There are times when I'm satisfied with the pretty little bow and there are times when I want more.

For example: Brave, Tangled, and Mulan. I was especially satisfied with their endings.

And there is something in Brave that sets Merida apart from the rest. She doesn't need a freaking Prince Charming. Not everyone needs a lovely little birds and bees ending. Merida is strong, smart and Brave enough to get what she wants without her stupid so called true love. She is independent, and I love her for that. That makes her my favorite Disney princess. And you know what? She's only part Disney! Way to go Pixar!

Mulan was brilliant. It didn't just take her a day to fall in love with that guy... (Can't remember names lol) I would guess that it took a couple of months/years. She cut all her hair off and dressed like a boy which could have ended her life in a flash. That is true bravery and she is my hero. Mulan deserved what she got. She rose above everything. She is amazing.

Tangled was great. Better than Frozen. Flynn (can't spell his other name) is the only male character I actually like in any Disney Princess movie. Ever. That's quite an accomplishment. And it's not because he's a pretty boy. They all are. It's because he showed that he's a human being. He has strengths and weaknesses and the works. He died to save Rapunzel from a life of slavery. Rapunzel has to live without her magical hair but gets her family back.

Frozen compared to all that just doesn't live up to the height. Personally, I think Disney should really stop doing this cliché stuff. It's really annoying and I kind of hate it. I probably left out some good princess movie that they made but I don't like any of the rest really.

I'm sick of these beautiful ribbon endings. Just stop. Please. Lol.

Okay sorry if I went on a rant but I really had to get that off my chest.

Message to the people who have been asking me to add the frozen characters into my story: N. O. I really am not overly fond of their characters. Sorry. This will remain a Big Four Fanfic. Don't kill me… lol.

Chapter 8: Threats

"What happened?" I asked, shaking my head as I sat up, my fiery hair surrounding me like a lion's mane.

"You passed out." Hiccup held out his hand, which I grabbed.

"Hiccup! You got knocked out!" I immediately jumped up, pulling his hand as I did so. Hiccup didn't expect me to pull so hard so fast, so we both toppled to the ground where we ended up in a tangle of limbs.

"Ow." He said as he untangled my hair from his metal leg. I accidentally let out a little scream when he pulled on my hair. It didn't hurt when he pulled on a big chunk of my hair, but when someone isolated about three or four hairs and pulled... now that hurt.

And that was exactly how many hairs there was stuck on Hiccup's prosthetic. I cursed in Norse as I just yanked the hairs out of my head. I had plenty to spare. But then there was still the issue of getting them out of his prosthetic... which he could deal with later.

"Yeah. I have a bump on the back of my head to prove it." I sat up, grabbing his head and looking for the bump. I was in a weird mood.

"Uh. Ow."

"Hold still... where?" I asked. He raised his finger and pointed to a spot under his hair on the back of his head. I moved his hair away, which was surprisingly difficult considering how thick it was, and sure enough, there was a huge bump on the back of his head.

"Does it hurt when you touch it?"

"No, it square dances around my head." He muttered. I rolled my eyes. Hiccup: King of Sarcasm.

"I don't know a spell for that."

"The square dancing?"

I hit him over the head.

"Ow!"

"No! The bump!"

"Well now I have two bumps!"

"No you don't. Stop being whiny." Then I looked at him seriously. "Who was here after I passed out?"

He looked confused.

"What do you mean?" He asked, rubbing his head where I hit him. I got off the floor and scanned the room. It was nightfall and the windows were open. Some of the beds had been burned a bit due to either mine or the dragon's fire... or both.

Oops.

"I saw a person come in before I passed out." I said, helping him up. Hiccup scanned the room as I had before.

"There was no one here when I woke up." Hiccup said. My eyebrows crinkled together.

"That doesn't make any sense." I groaned. "I know I saw someone."

"It was probably a hallucination. You used up all your energy getting away from that thing. It's likely that you have experienced some minor hallucinations." He said. I sighed. I didn't think it was a hallucination, but there was no other explanation.

"Well that doesn't answer why that thing attacked us." I said, hands on my hips.

"It told me that it needed to kill me." Hiccup said as if he'd forgotten. His eyes got wide, his expression unreadable. "Why would it need to kill me? What did I do?" He shook his head as if having an internal argument. His eyes were gazing off into a corner, looking at nothing; his green eyes squinted a tiny bit. His nose was the tiniest bit crinkled, and his arms were crossed.

"Maybe it wanted to possess your amazing dragon riding skills?" I shrugged. He gave me a look.

"This could be serious. What if you're next?" He asked, waving his hand out in front of me.

"So what if I'm next? Won't it have to kill you first? As long as you don't die, I'll be fine."

"And if I die?"

The idea of Hiccup dying seemed impossible to me, but tonight had been a close call... If he had been hit on the right spot on his head then he surely would have died. My eyes widened. What if he died?

"Where did you say you got hit again?" I grabbed his head yet again.

"I'm fine!" He struggled away, his hair slipping from my grasp.

All of a sudden the door burst open, Rapunzel flying through the door. She immediately headed straight for Hiccup. She grabbed his head and seemingly looked for the bump. Her eyes widened.

"So it's true."

"What is it with girls and my head?!" Hiccup pulled away, holding his head with both arms.

"I don't know, maybe it's because it's so weird looking." Jack walked through the door after Rapunzel. I groaned.

"What are you doing here, Frost?" I growled.

"You know, you guys are lucky that all the teachers are asleep, or someone else would have come running." He said coolly.

"Anyone would be better than you." I muttered, turning to the side.

"Can you guys save the insults for later?" Rapunzel sighed.

"Hey, I didn't insult her." Jack said defensively.

"Shut it!" She yelled at him. I smirked.

"By the way, Jack. Hiccup's head is interesting because he got attacked by a dragon tonight. While you were 'exploring' the castle, Hiccup got thrown against the wall and Merida passed out from using too much energy to fight it off, leaving them both unconscious."

The three of us stared at her open mouthed. Hiccup finally built up the ability to speak.

"How did you-"

"I had a dream." She explained, handing me some kind of food. "Eat this. You won't feel so strange."

The food was light orange and squishy, like something filled the inside of it. I nibbled off a little piece, tasting it. I recoiled in disgust.

"It slowly tastes better the longer you eat it."

I timidly chewed on the gross stuff that tasted like rotten eggs mixed with dragon poop.

"So I'm going to get straight to the point. Whoever set that dragon on you was trying to kill us." Rapunzel said, "All of us."

"What?" Jack asked, turning away from fiddling with his wand, his icy blue eyes widened. I glared at him while I ate the nasty stuff. Punzie actually glared at him with me this time.

"For some reason they want the four of us." She said gravely.

"Hold on a second. Why would they want me? I'm not connected to any of you. At all." Jack said, taking a step closer.

"He has a good point." Hiccup said, thinking everything over with his weird almost cute looking thinking face. "But then, why does it want any of us?"

"I don't know." Punzie shook her head back and forth, making her long braided hair shake. I wondered how strong her head had to be to hold all that hair. "All I know is that it wants us dead."

"What, exactly, is it?" I asked, afraid of the answer. Punzie shook her head.

"I don't know. I just know that it's very, very dangerous."

.*.

"Children." She Professor Braveheart muttered, not at all pleased at what she had heard. She looked... annoyed. She shoo'd us away. "Why don' ye go play somewhere else, hmm?"

Hiccup and I shared a glance.

"We're not playing. Rapunzel had a dream and we thought you'd understand since she was using Divination." Hiccup explained, scratching his neck.

"Ah kno' a good stor'ee when Ah see one. It's no use in bothering other teachers abou' it either. Taking away good time, ye are." With that, she nodded curtly, and then closed her study door in our faces.

"Well that was a bust." I said as we started our decent down the stairs.

"You know, maybe she's doing us a favor," Jack said. "I mean, maybe the teachers are better off not knowing."

Punzie, Hiccup, and I stared at him.

"What happens if they find out? They'll send us home. I don't know about you guys, but I have a lot more pranks to pull." A flash of hurt hinted in his eyes, but he blinked and smiled again. I shook my head. I must have imagined it.

"I guess you're right." I said, glaring. Now all three of them were staring at me.

"Merida... agreeing with Jack..." Punzie started.

"That's it! It's time to take her back to Madam Gooseneck." Hiccup said, grabbing my arm. I knocked him off.

"Hell no. There is no way, in a million years that I am ever going back there. I hate that woman even more than I hate him!" I pointed a finger at Jack.

"There she is." Hiccup said, relieved.

"I never left!" I glared at him. He sent me an awkward 'don't kill me' gesture. I softened a bit at that.

"Awe, I'm 2nd on your want-to-murder list? I feel appreciated." Jack laughed. I glared at him again, this time with my I-will-kill-you-if-you-don't-shut-the-heck-up stare. Firewalker suddenly burned on my shoulder, which caught my attention briefly. I forgot he was there.

"You know what? Since it's a weekend, let's head to the... um..." Punzie thought for a minute. "Uh... You know, there's not really a place where we can go. We're all in different houses. Plus I don't think my house would like it very much if you guys happened to show up in the common room."

I thought for a minute, all of us stopped on the staircase to the Divination tower.

"We could try the courtyard... no... too crowded." I said.

"Let's just meet back tomorrow on the seventh floor. No one usually goes up there, plus there may be a room there where we can discuss this. I found it a while back... I don't know how it works yet." Hiccup suggested.

"I'm okay with that." I said.

"Same." Said Punzie.

"I'll see if I can be there. I might be pranking tomorrow so..."

"Why don't you just prank overtime today?" Punzie suggested. Jack shrugged.

"I'll try."

.*.

"Where have you been?!" Astrid glared at me, throwing an apple at my head. I caught it quickly before disaster struck.

"We were supposed to go to the library, and I've had to put up with him all day!" She pointed across the common room to Flynn, who was lying lazily on the couch.

"Rude, Viking, very rude." He held his hand up for a moment before it fell again.

"I'm sorry! I had to explain to Goose Butt why there were scorch marks on the beds." I told her. That was true, but I had also been doing other things...

"Nightmare again?" she asked. I nodded, sighing and sitting down in an armchair. Suddenly a couple second years came up to me, their curls bouncing on their heads.

"Sooooo... How did Hiccup look in his pajamas?" They giggled. I nearly fell out of my seat coughing.

"Wait... What?!" I choked out.

"Astrid told us that you were stuck with him in the hospital wing. So... you must have seen him right?!" They giggled up at me with wide eyes. Flynn suddenly decided to sneak out up to the boys dormitories. Coward. I glared at Astrid, who gave me an evil smile, and mouthed 'payback'. I nearly growled, but the girls had expectant faces, and I groaned.

"Um... No, not really." It was the truth. I hadn't really payed much attention as we were being attacked by a ferocious poisonous dragon.

The girls' spirits dropped. Good riddance.

"She's gotta be lying. Who wouldn't pay attention to him?" One of the girls giggled. I gritted my teeth, knowing that there was nowhere I could hide. I silently cursed Astrid as she slipped upstairs to the girls' dormitories.

"I'm serious; he was asleep by the time I got there. Even if I tried to look, I couldn't." I said, not lying. The girls paid no attention to my protests, and eventually started chanting 'Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!'

I sighed. I would be in for a rough week.

A/N: I know, I know. I'm a failure. You guys hate that I'm taking so long with these updates. I'm not going to even give you the 'excuses' routine. I deserve insults.

I don't really have much to say other than I'm sorry :/ you guys can answer the three questions if you want this chapter. Sorry I didn't put them up last chapter. Some of you guys actually like them xD lol.

1: Can you guys guess what they'll find on the seventh floor? I know I can... *evil face*

2: You guys... actually voted for the antagonist... and not a single one of you got the answer right? *facepalm* Well you'll just have to wait. Maybe I'll give you a second chance... who do you think will be the antagonist?

3: FANGIRLS: Hiccup has lots of fangirls. Question: How would you put up with them as in Merida's case? or would you join them and freak out? lol
