"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, it's the only way to keep you and you children safe from them!"
"I know but...But...But you're going to die because of me!"
"I'm your twin sister, older by a few minutes so I technically have the job of dying for my family."
"I DON'T CARE! There has to be another way out of this! I don't want to lose you!"
"Look this plan is the only one that'll work!" A figure yelled in anger, pointing straight down at the babies in the other figure's arms. "You have to learn that there is going to be a consequence of your choices and we only have limited time to keep Oswald outside! So you're going to have to deal with it, remember that your children will suffer the most from your mistakes! Especially the twins!"
"But-"
"But nothing! What's done is done!"
"NO! I refuse to believe you! There must-
"There is no way out of this sister," The angered figure interrupted the desperate sister who's eyes began to water. "You made that deal, you wanted a way out of that deal so now you have to just bear with it! Even though you're going to lose me, you still lost your children in the end. In the end, it'll just be your fault."
There was silent crying, as the figure held her two babies tight then look directly down at the smaller child with auburn hair. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry for what I'm about to do...I'm so sorry, my little Hiccup..."
"HICCUP WAKE UP!"
Before he even realized, a splash of cold water hit Hiccup's face which brought him out of his dreaming state as he yelped and fell off the chair he was sleeping on as the Maces and Talons board fell along with him. The first thing he heard was Astrid laughing a bit as he got up from the hard floor, rubbing the back of his head that received the most damage from the fall. "What is wrong with you Astrid?" In all honesty, he had no idea. "I could have thrown something at you for waking me up like that."
"Yeah try that and see what happens," Astrid grinned as she tossed a rag for Hiccup to dry himself up, the both of them knowing very well that she can beat him up with no question or mercy. Then her tone got serious when she looked at the fallen game board. "But you were sleeping on your desk with the Maces and Talons board again. Not to mention that you were mumbling something about Oswald and then someone saying sorry; again."
"Well for the first observation you made, I'm training myself by using this game to find different options, make any scenario and how to solve them. After Viggo got the Dragon Eye-"
"I know that defeat was hard Hiccup, but I told you that we'll get it back as a team," Astrid interrupted him, putting her arm around his shoulder. "You don't have to do this alone."
"Kinda figured that but we couldn't even find out why he took it in the first place if he doesn't have a key to unlock it," Hiccup sighed, "I know we're a team but so many things could have happened that night. I nearly led everyone to their own graves, even my sister..."
"But we're lucky she escaped from Dagur and is somewhere safe now," Astrid reassured him. "Who knows what could have happened if she hadn't found a way to get away from Dagur's clutches."
If only you knew Astrid, Hiccup thought sadly with guilt. It's not only Heather who could have been killed that night, or that I'm worried about... He knew what happened, he knew Dagur intentionally let Heather go, he knew that their acting could not go on forever. The traitor always die...Oh, gods Dagur please be alright.
"Hiccup?" Astrid began, taking him out of his thoughts. "But seriously, though, what were you dreaming about this time? Was it the same one?"
"If by the same one you mean the one with two red head ladies in the dark room then yes," He sighed again, recalling that he was recently getting that dream that seems to always appear whenever he sleeps every night for the past month.
"You've been having them for a while now," Astrid shook her head as she pulled out one of Fishleg's notebooks and a charcoal pencil to mark another tally next to a page full of them. "I think you're going to have to see Gothi about this."
"Just because I've been having the same dream for over a month does not mean that I'm sick or going mad," Hiccup protested, getting ready to walk away to avoid Astrid's explanations. He was opened to open the door of his hut but the door was opened by a group of eavesdropping teens as they all fell inside from the extra weight the twins made. Before he could even demand an explanation,Tuffnut beat him to it. "On the contrary good Hiccup sir, a long time of the same dream like that can lead you straight to becoming insane!"
"I concur with my dear twin brother Hiccup," Ruffnut added on with her hands folded, "Once our dear great aunt Thorson had a case like this for fifty years! It drove her insane until she one day decided to jump off a cliff."
"Was she okay?" Fishlegs asked Ruffnut nervously, who shook her head.
"Nope, even though giant eels saved her from that fall she still had those dreams until the end of her days." She didn't notice how Fishlegs and Snotlout winced at that part. "But she did have the idea of jumping off cliffs to make the dreams go away but I guess it never worked for her."
"So that means Hiccup..." Tuffnut intervened but before he could say anything, Hiccup beat him to for the sake of Fishlegs sanity since the poor teen was turning more pale than usual. "Alright guys calm down, no one is going insane or jumping off a cliff.
"What about that whispering death grudge incident thing?" Snotlout pointed out, "You jumped off a cliff that time."
"And gave us all a heart attack too," Fishlegs muttered, shaking from the memory.
"That was a totally different situation Snotlout," Hiccup reminded, knowing that definitely was a different situation to begin with starting with the fact that he needed to save Toothless from the whispering death. "And for the last time I'm fine, it's just a dream." With that, he mounted on Toothless to do just anther morning of patrol around the edge while the others watched from his hut. However, he couldn't help but feel very worried for the well being of both of siblings since he has no idea where they are or what either of them could be going through! The only person who actually knew their little secret was his father, Stoick since he was part of the small lie that consists of good acting skills.
He really hates lying to his friends about what really happened the day before Snoggletog but it was the only way to keep Dagur safe for a bit and learn a little more about the hunters. However, their plans were crumbling the moment Viggo held Heather hostage and charged her as a traitor.
It didn't take long for Hiccup to land Toothless in the middle of the forest to lean against the tree as stared out at the horizon. Not only was he thinking about his siblings but he was trying to figure out why he was suddenly getting that certain dream every single night. The two red hair ladies were doing more than just being alone in a dark room. He could remember hearing one of them crying, while she looked down at him with sadness, repeatedly apologizing to him as if she was about to do something horrible to him.
Why am I suddenly getting these dreams? He wondered, Why can't I even see a vivid look on one of the ladies faces, all I can see was tears and their red hair...But who are they? How do they know my name? He was so stuck in his thoughts, he did not even realizing that a few yards away from him were where Astrid hid from sight as she watched him from afar with concern plastered on her face.
She noticed how tense and anxious Hiccup was for a week after the battle with Viggo but even though he knew that they'll get the Dragon Eye back she saw that over the past month he's getting more worried and confused about something. That something that made Hiccup very worried, she has no idea but she just hopes that it wasn't the dreams.
"I wouldn't be surprised if you did send for Gothi to come here to check up on Hiccup," Snotlout remarked from out of nowhere. "His dreams about the two red hair ladies are starting to creep me and Hookfang out, but mostly Hookfang. Not to mention some hours of sleep he seems to miss, did you see the bags under his eyes?" Astrid jumped in surprise from Snotlout's sudden appearance but he wasn't alone with his dragon. Right behind him was the rest of the gang. Astrid was about to demand an excuse but Ruffnut was quick to give a good reasonable answer.
"We saw you following Hiccup so we decided to follow you here just to see if our dear leader isn't really going nuts and about to crack at some point," She then grinned very grimly at the thought, "Actually I wonder how it will be like to see Hiccup finally losing it?"
"Hiccup's not going mad!" Astrid defended with anger building up which made every take a few steps back until they heard Hiccup and Toothless take off to the skies to continue patrolling. "Just because he's not being entirely himself lately, and having some strange dreams does not mean anything! He's the same smart, risk taking, good-crazy, dragon trainer just like he was every day and nothing can change that." She didn't realize how much she was fuming as she turned away from the group of scared teens as she watched Hiccup fly through the sky until he was long gone to the huts.
Fishlegs was a little hesitant but he cautious approached the shield maiden and explained as calmly as he could. "That may be true Astrid but it wouldn't hurt to bring Gothi here to check on him. Not because we think he's going mad, but just so we can see what she has to say about that dream he's having." He then began counting a list with his fingers, " After all, he went through a lot a few months ago in just a span of a few days. He found out that he wasn't the birth son of Stoick, that he was Heather's twin brother and Dagur's younger brother. From discovering the truth of his birth family to faking a betrayal but nearly getting killed by the villagers then facing more life and death situations. Not to mention that later Dagur's with the enemy but now with that Viggo incident and the Dragon Eye being gone; can't expect him to keep it together after everything that happened."
Astrid was silent, those words hit her hard as she sighed. "You're right..." Suddenly she realized that Hiccup did had to go through a lately, when was the last time he didn't have a dramatic life changing event? "It's not every day you have to fight a battle against your own flesh and blood with everyone's lives hanging on the string. I didn't even realize... Hiccup must be stressed out of his mind, I'd be more surprised if he wasn't affected by any of this at all!" She then mounted on Stormfly as everyone did the same as they flew up in the sky while she explained, "I'll send airmail to Berk so someone can send Gothi over here, hopefully, Sharpshot can fly faster if I bribe him with extra fish."
"So wait Hiccup isn't going insane?" Tuffnut asked with disappointment.
"No," Fishlegs simply answered, but that made the twins more disappointed.
"So we can't throw him off a cliff?"Ruffnut asked.
"NO!"
"So does this mean I can't have his hut?" Snotlout whined when Astrid and Fishlesgs denied every suggestion the twins threw at them. However Astrid and Fishlegs did not even want to think what intentions Snotlout had with the hut, but the twins are a different story.
They soon landed in front of the entrance of the dragon stables where Sharpshot was just stretching from a little nap in the sun. Just a few feet ahead of them was Hiccup who was giving Toothless a good scrub since the nightfury enjoyed a good scrub from his rider, until the one legged viking caught his friends hopping off their dragons. "There you are! When Toothless and I came back, we didn't see any of you around here. I was beginning to wonder where you've gone."
"Oh you know, going through Astrid's exercise of hell," Tuffnut grinned and earning a glare from the shield maiden.
"You know you could have done those exercises in the arena right?" Hiccup's brow raised with suspicion.
"That's because she had us try to take some trees down in the forest while Stormfly shot her spines at us every five seconds," Fishlegs bluffed as calmly as he could before Tuffnut could make a better excuse, but it was still a good excuse regardless.
"Uh huh?" Hiccup flatly answered, still not looking convince since he still had that glare of suspicion until he heard Sharpshot's purring as Astrid scratched the terror's chine before sending off with airmail. "And this has nothing to do with the fact that you're all of sudden sending airmail to Berk...Does it?" He could tell that while Fishlegs distracted him with the excuse, Astrid wrote something and sent Sharpshot to deliver the mail to Berk but that didn't mean he wasn't going to question. "Astrid." She jumped at the serious tone Hiccup addressed her name with, turning to face him to try to think of a good excuse since his interrogating skills have been improving real fast and good. Unfortunately too good.
"Oh me...I um...Well it's...It's airmail...Airmail for..." She was mentally scolding herself for looking way more suspicious than she had intend while her mind was scrambling for a good, believable excuse. "Uhh...You see...It's airmail for...For-
"RAZORWHIP!"
Everyone was looking at Snotlout as he he lost his mind the moment he shouted that. "Uhh I don't see how sending airmail to a razorwhip is a good enough excuse?" Tuffnut commented but Snotlout was pointing to the sky with his eyes wider than the moon as he shouted:
"RAZORWHIP WITH A RIDER!"
Now they were seriously about to ask if he totally lost his mind until they looked at the direction he was pointing to, and sure enough they saw it too. Flying straight toward them with great speed was a razorwhip with a rider, but not just any dragon rider;
"HEATHER!?"
Well I'll leave this chapter here. Hope you've enjoyed this so far even if it's not good. But hey I try, so see ya next time ;)
