"Slow down!" Allyssa called to the Nightmare. It didn't seem to listen and flew faster.

They came across an angry pack of wild boars. But 2 spears sailing through the air made them run away, squealing. 2 of the boars lay dead. Vim quickly retrieved his spear in case they were still followed. They began gutting their boars.
"Hey, dad?" Said Vim, breaking the silence, "Was it true that you and mom got married when you were 15?"
"Yep", he grunted as he pulled out a pile of innards, "Pretty much everyone in our culture is, Vim. It shouldn't be a surprise to you that you're getting married."
"I know.." His voice trailed off. "I know how you feel," Said his dad, "Our marriage was arranged too. Most are. But we're happy now, aren't we?"
Vim nodded. "I guess so."

"What in the Hel was that?!" Vim's dad roared. He picked up his spear. "I know you're out there!" Vim readied his spear. Whoever followed them was going to die.

Metal cursed he no longer cared about stealth, he ran across the inter looping branches which gave off Metal though an incredible amount of noise

They spotted him jumping from the tree. Vim's spear sailed through the air and missed by inches. His dad held on to his. "Let's get out of here!"
They picked up their boars and ran for the house.

Metal breathed heavily, it was getting dark and his breath was visibly in the cold air. He walked over to Vims spear laid on the ground and attached to to a strap on his back and slowly made his way back to the Village

They reached their house at nightfall, panting. They ran the whole way. Vim's dad handed him the second boar. "Take these to be salted." He said, "I'm going to Stoick to warn him about whoever that was."
Vim brought the boars in and started salting them. His mom came out, looking annoyed. "I had to take care of both girls by myself!" She exclaimed, "What took you so long?" Vim did his best to downplay what happened. "We caught somebody following us. We scared him off, but dad went to tell Stoick."
Her annoyance immediately evaporated. "Okay. I'm glad you're safe." She left and Vim finished salting the boars. Then he brought them to the underground food storage and went to his room for the night.

It was Midnight Metals favorite time, usually he would be like a ghost, but for some reason there were patrols around the Village Metal almost got caught twice on third house he rounded A viking grabbed him on the wrist in an attempt to break free metal swung his right fist round and caught him in the side of the head knocking him out cold. The window to the Village healer was open and Metal dived in the Healer ushered him into her cellar and closed the door letting him hide for the night, but as a precaution he kept all his items fully equipped as he slept.

Boethiah stayed out on that island for the night. She wasn't ready to go home again. Well, ever. Staying out and going where she wanted would be the way she wanted to live life. But no. She was to be married to a boy she had only met a few weeks ago. Nothing could be right for a while, could it?

Vim's dad came back in as Vim headed up to his room. "I warned Stoick," He said, "He said he'd put out more patrols. He also said somebody attacked a guard. That may be who followed us." Vim shrugged. "I'm going to bed. Goodnight."
((Next day?))

They had been traveling for a while. Allyssa nearly fell asleep twice.

Vim awoke and immediately decided to find his friends and warn them about the man in black. He stepped downstairs and went out to Thorntail's stable. He hopped on. "Let's start with Boethiah. You know what she smells like, bud?" They took off.
