Hiccup waited for the man to make a movement first. Finally, the man walked out of the shadow into the, now dim light. Hiccup gazed at the man's face, he seemed familiar...of course, he remembered

"You're that man from that wanted poster." Hiccup spoke, the man chuckled

"You have a very good memory" the man replied

"It's not about the memory, it's just that I haven't seen anything so ugly in a while" Hiccup said, he couldn't help himself, even in a situation like this, he had to make that comment.

"You think this is funny, boy? Well, I'd just let it slide." The man replied "for now" he added, this part was audible to him only.

"Seriously? Who are you anyway? What do you want from me anyway?" Hiccup asked impatiently, he tried to act tough in front of the man but actually he was scared, scared of what the man might do to him, scared of what he wanted from him.

"I don't want anything from you. I just want your father to pay me a visit" the man replied, Hiccup looked away from the man and was now facing the wall to his left. Why would he want to meet his dad?

"Too bad he isn't around" Hiccup muttered "Listen, whoever you are, my dad doesn't live here and you should be thankful for that" he said, meeting the man's gaze. He felt more confident when he spoke those words.

"Alvin. My name is Alvin. Don't you know who I am? Haven't you heard my name from your parents before?" The man asked interestingly, Hiccup's expression didn't change "Never? Well you'll find out everything" With that being said, Alvin began to walk towards the door "Eventually" he added dded b leaving the room and shutting the door behind him.

Hiccup was left alone once more, he was more confused and scared than ever. That man was on the wanted poster, he certainly knew his dad and now he was captured by him. A part of him wannted his dad to come and rescue him but at the same time he didn't want his dad to be in danger and from what he could figure out, coming here to save him was definitely dangerous.

"Nothing. We've searched of the town briefly but Alvin was nowhere to be found, neither was Hiccup" Stoick spoke, he and Gobber had been searching the entire day but to no use.

Valka looked down at her hands resting in her lap. She had never felt so disappointed in her life, Stoick was her only hope of finding Hiccup but even he was unsuccessful but she decided not to judge things too soon. They had only searched the town briefly right? They'll find him and he'll be alright, at least she hoped he would be.

"If you don't mind, me and my friends can help you" Astrid spoke, she had spent the entire day with Valka. She wanted to go with Hiccup's dad and help him but she decided otherwise, maybe she shouldn't interfere in their personal matter. But this wasn't personal anymore, Hiccup was her friend, her best friend and she couldn't imagine him getting hurt. She'd blame herself for not being able to do anything.

"What? No, this is dangerous. I can't risk your life or your friends lives. Besides you're only teenagers, you can't help us" Stoick replied, his voice was stern

Valka wanted Stoick to agree with Astrid, let her help him but it was selfish to risk someone else's childrens lives to save her own and she knew that but she wanted her son back at any cost, she would do anything to bring him home safe, anything.

"But we know this town better than anyone else and we're not teenagers anymore. We can help you and ourselves if that's your concern" Astrid said, Stoick sighed in frustration. Astrid sat beside him on the couch

"Let us help you. Please" she pleaded, he sighed again but this time in defeat "Alright but you have to be careful." He replied, Astrid's face lit up on hearing that.

"We will, don't worry" she said, she looked at Valka who glanced back at her, she smiled and gave a slight nod. Valka felt relieved.

"Stoick, I'm coming with you and Gobber" Valka spoke, rising up from her seat. Stoick nodded and glanced at Astrid

"Astrid, you and your friends search the town. Gobber, me and Valka will search outside of the town. There are some abandoned buildings and I think we have a chance of finding him there. We must stay in contact with each other" Stoick explained, everybody understood and nodded.

"Astrid!" Stoick addressed the blonde, she turned to face him "If you see this man, tell me immediately and don't go after him" he said as he brought out a poster from the bag placed on the table beside him and presented it to her.

Astrid brows furrowed, she stared at the poster for a while. She managed to nod a bit "Can- Can I keep this?" She asked hesitantly, Stoick seemed confused at first eventually allowed her to keep the poster, maybe she wanted to warn her friends about this too.

Hiccup had to spend the entire day in an uncomfortable position, not like any of this could get comfortable but being tied up like this was worse. He couldn't move, he had tried but all in vain. His headache got worse with time, his wrists were burning, the rope was leaving bruises, it got even worse when he struggled to free himself but he didn't care much about that. Alvin hadn't returned either, he had so many questions he wanted to ask, he wanted answers.

The door opened slowly again, he steadied himself and tried to sit up, fortunately he succeeded. Although he wanted answers but he also didn't want Alvin to come back either. He'd be lying to himself if he said he wasn't scared of the man at all.

He heard footsteps approaching him, he moved back but then there was a wall against him.

"Relax. I have no plan of hurting you or killing you...yet" Alvin's voice came from the dark, he switched the light bulb on "Do you want light in here?" He asked casually, Hiccup nodded hesitantly "Good." He said with a smirk. Hiccup didn't react.

"I came here to give you news about your father" he spoke, sitting on the chair in the middle of the room, Hiccup's eyes widened.

"W-what news?" He asked hesitantly, pushing himself against the wall to sit up. He hoped nothing bad had happened

"He's here, in this town and he's looking for you with Gobber. You know who Gobber is right?" Alvin replied, Hiccup nodded. Why did his father came here? He shouldn't be here, it was dangerous but he knew how much his father loved him and how much he cares for him but he definitely didn't want him to risk his life to save his son

"My plan is going perfectly fine, he'd come here eventually, looking for you and when he does I'll get my revenge" he chuckled as he uttered those words, probably feeling amused simply by the idea

"Why do you even want revenge from him? What did he ever do to you?" Hiccup asked, Alvin laughed at his questions. What was so funny about that?

"You'll find out soon" Alvin said calmly. Hiccup rolled his eyes in frustration, he didn't like when things were kept secret from him.

"Well now what?" Snotlout spoke, Astrid informed the gang about the situation. She hadn't asked them for help, maybe they didn't want to be part of this, it would be wrong to force them into any situation they wouldn't want to be in.

"I don't know, I..." She paused, her friends watched her and waited for her to continue. She turned herself towards them "I won't force you to help me find him, I have no right to but Hiccup is a great friend. He's an amazing friend, he has done so much for us, for me. I would never want to lose a friend like that. It's not an inspirational speech or something, I'm just saying what I feel and I don't know..." She held back the tears stinging her eyes, she felt so helpless. She buried her face in her hands.

"Well, we want to help too" Ruffnut spoke placing her hand gently on Astrid's shoulder, she lifted her head to look at her friends, who seemed pretty confident

"Yeah, we can't let you have all the credit" Tuffnut said, Astrid smiled. She was so thankful for such an amazing response.

"When do we start?" Fishlegs asked

"Tomorrow. We'll search the town" Astrid replied, everybody in the room nodded in agreement. Astrid felt relieved "Don't worry Hiccup, we're coming" she thought to herself.

Hiccup hadn't said a word after that, it was best to ignore that maniac. Alvin didn't bother to ask him any questions and left him alone. Hiccup remained lost in his thoughts, the light of the bulb was dim but he was thankful for what he had. He didn't like being in the dark, especially when when he was tied up like this.

"Be careful Dad" He whispered to himself, he felt like he was going to pass out, the headache getting worse by each second. His body couldn't take it anymore neither could his mind filled with so many thoughts, negative thoughts.

He should try to escape, he should try at least. In his confusion, he didn't realize how much his body was actually tired, how much he needed to rest. He closed his eyes, his mind drifting away from all the negativity that surrounded hi , his body relaxed and he fell asleep. Hopefully he'd find a way out.

Until next time guys!
