This is my new story of "How far can you push the heart." *The children are 17-18 years old now* As always I only own what is mine and nothing else, Please Enjoy.
(Cara's p.o.v.)
I was lying against a large rock as warm rays of light bathed my skin; I casually glanced across the forest. The smell of pine tickled my nose as it danced with the blowing wind. The ground would shake from time to time as Seaaira burrowed long tunnels under the rocks. Oliver was playing in the trees with spirit, so I was left to my thoughts in the peaceful morning.
Well, mostly peaceful...
"Okay, guys grab your stuff!" a loud aggravated voice yells. I glance up and see my lady pulling herself up from the side of the mountain; I smiled lightly as she rolls onto the grass with a loud and annoyed huff "Were leaving! We're going to go on a nice LONG trip, FAR away from here!"
I shake my head and glance at my Mistress; with another huff she throws her now messy fish-tailed mid back light brown hair over her shoulder. Though with a turn of her head a few pieces fell back in her face which left Sophia in a current death stare with her hair and her bangs.
"And why would we do something as foolish as that, my lady?" I add with mock worship, she gives up on her hair and sends the glare in my direction.
"Don't patronize Cara! You know how my father is." I give a quite laugh.
Indeed I did.
Standing before me was none other than Sophia Mortise Avengander.
The only daughter of Fredrick Mortem Avengander the Third.
...Though there are only three people that can call him that. Sophia, Hiccup and Stoick.
Most people call him Fredrick the Fierce! The fiercest man alive. His hand could crush the skull of any dragon. He killed a whole army of 100 dragons single handily. His gaze could drop a dragon flat! His name was feared throughout the corners of the globe!
It's a title of respect.
We live on the small island of Covand, making us a two and a half day journey from our closest neighbors... The people of berk. Home of Stoick the Vast and his son Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third. It's a mouthful, I know. Most of us just call him hiccup.
Anyway, you're probably wondering why two so feared and respected chiefs would know each other; well I did at first too. Her father and Stoick go way back, fighting dragons and putting out fires... all that jazz.
They even claimed berk together!
After "The Great Claiming" which, must I say he NEVER stops talking about… Stoick promised to stay friends with her father... And surprisingly! Well, they did just that.
We would visit them every summer. (insert mental eye roll)
Then the chief left without us... and we've been stuck at home ever since.
We had come to like berk over the years, it had turned out to be a second home. So it hurt when we were forced to stay. But the chief said there were traditions and laws people had to work out.
I think the real reason was that he didn't like snot-lout flirting with Sophia every five seconds of the day, or well trying to. She didn't really give him the time of day...
Though I must admit, it was quite funny seeing Sophia stuck with hiccup. I swear, the moment we would get there the chiefs would stick them together like glue! We are all great friends and all but I have to say, spending all day with anyone gets really annoying.
(Sophia's p.o.v)
"So why do we have to leave then?" Cara laughs, I glare at her.
"Because" I groan "I'm minding my own business, thinking all is well and I get this!" I sit down on a rock and begin to act out my night.
*Flashback/acting*
I sigh and quietly sit down on the hard bench, the cold wood chilling my pants. I shift my bum in an effort to rid my skin for the uncomfortable sensation. I quietly move the bench a bit closer to the flame before carefully turning the first page to read one of the few books we have here. With a relaxed sigh I lean back against the chair, quietly kick my shoes off and shut my eyes in peace as the warm fire heated my frozen toes.
Suddenly the doors burst open and my father's right man Marcus walks in.
"Sophia" he says in a gruff voice "Your father wants to speak with you"
I sigh and look up from my book with an annoyed expression.
"Now?"
"Yes, now" he grumbles "Your fathers in the great hall"
I roll my eyes and mark my page, with my book in my hands I walk out the door and head to the great hall. the walk to the great hall was less than enjoyable, harsh freezing winds blew my hair around my face. I gripped the front of my fuzzy Yack zest closer to my skin; I was trying to keep my body heat in and the miserable snow out. I stopped and glanced across the island. big huts where lined up in rows. A tall big watch man stood at his post, I gave him a small sad smile as I watched him warm up his hands in the blowing fire. Fires flickered all around the island, lighting the huts in the odds of ways. Raising my hands to my face I squinted and glanced at the sky, I was soon to be the really really bad winter.
The distant sound of sheep was heard in the blowing wind, I spun around in confusion. There weren't supposed to be any animals out right now. Walking around the huts I soon discovered the source of the noise. A small baby sheep was stuck in a snow hill. Its body shock in the cold and upon seeing me it let out a small pitiful noise. Rolling my eyes I grabbed the small thing and stuck it under my shirt, squealing loudly as its snowy body touched my skin. with a loud groan I walked over and stuck the small thing back in its barn. shivering I shook out my now slightly wet shirt and headed for my destination.
With a hard two handed shove the big door opens and I walk in.
"Dad?" I ask and look around the large room.
A roaring fire was lit, bright colors flashed and danced around the walls. A hulking shape of a man stood by the fire, hands held calmly behind their back.
"Over here Sophia" he says.
I walk up to him and look into the fire. After letting a few minutes of awkward silence pass; well, maybe they were just awkward for me but still... I shift from one foot to the other before deciding to speak.
"You wanted to talk to me father?" I ask calmly.
"Yes" he says I pause and brace myself for whatever lecture or speech he has come up with but to my surprise he just sighs "Sophia, my love. Are you happy here?"
I look up at him confused.
"Of course I'm very happy here father, why would I not be? I have many friends and people around me, Covand is my home."
He shakes his head.
"No Sophia, I mean are you happy. Do you have someone here, like I had your mother?"
My face pales slightly as I start to guess the meaning of meeting.
"Um..." I pause and carefully think of my words as I look at the fire "No, I can't say I have... But in the same run I haven't really looked for anyone." I add quickly.
He sighs and rubs his hands together. I literally twitch in pain and eye up the door with hope. Wondering if there's a way I could get out of here?
"I know you're happy here because it's your home, but I also know you do have another one." He sighs happily looking at the fire "I remember when I would see you truly happy. When I would see you really smile. But you were so little then, just about this high" he turns to look at me, his hand resting above his knee "Do you?" I pause and think.
"I don't understand father, I have always been happy..." I trail off.
"Sophia, I love you too much to see you unhappy…"
"Oh please no..." I mentally groan
"So I made you a surprise!" he smiles
"Oh Odin, just kill me now..." I think and look up to see his eye searching mine "Um, great dad!" I fake a smile "What did you do?" I ask half scared of the answer.
He must have seen my face because seconds later he bursts out laughing.
"Relax Sophia" he grins "You look like a cattle under a dragons glare" I half laugh at the irony of it all.
I'd rather be the cattle right now...
"Okay... so what's happening?" I ask, he gives me one of his famous smiles.
"Were BOTH going to berk"
End of flashback/acting.
"Are you kidding me?!" Cara's voice yells with glee, I glance up at her in shock "Sophia this is great news!"
"No Cara, this is horrible!" I yell as I throw my hands to the air. "You should have seen the look on his face" I mumble to myself.
"How is that horrible?" she laughs "It's been what, seven years Soph... don't you want to see them?"
"Yes! No! Yes, No! Of course I want to see them! But I can't!" I groan and grab my head as I slowly drown in this tilde-wave of conflicting emotions "I don't know" I finally sigh and drag a hand down my face "Let's just say I have a really bad feeling about this, okay?"
"I don't care, we're going" she says with a smirk
"No, we can't!" I groan, she crosses her arms with an amused smile.
"Yes we are"
"NO were not"
"YES we are!"
"NO WE'RE NOT!" I growl with a stomp of my foot, Cara spins around and locks my eyes with a Piercing glare.
"Look Sophia! You can have all the bad feelings you want this, but we're not leaving. I don't care if I have to bound you in ropes and toss you on the ship myself but we are going to Berk!" Cara says with a stern motherly voice. I go to protest but the "One word and you die" look sent my way has me quickly thinking twice.
Odin's beard, that girl can be downright scary...
(Cara's p.o.v)
I rolled my eyes and sat down on one of the rocks that circle the clearing.
The clearings sat in one of the nastier and mostly dead parts of the forest. To my left sat a huge cave that had been burrowed out my Seaaira, hundreds of tunnels ran in criss-cross lines about 8 centimeters under my feet. To my right held huge cliffs that towered high above the clearings, its jagged edges and broken rock made a traveler think twice about crossing the path or climbing down.
Through the forest, fallowing many twists and turns your met with a lovely beach. But the forests were lined with thick pines and what some say are moving trees. More than a few people have disappeared in these woods.
A twig snapped above my head and I couldn't help but smile, with an upwards glance I see nothing but trees. With a light eye roll I patted my lap three times and before my eyes stood a massive change-wing. Seconds later a bunch of low mumbles left his lips and we couldn't help but laugh. It sounded like he was complaining about the lack of attention he was getting.
"What's with you crabby pants? I smirk "Is my little Oliver having a bad day?" I walk up to him and place my hands against his cool scales before squishing in his cheeks like a child "Is my poor little baby boy having a bad day?" I mock him in a baby voice, Sophia smirks when he lets out a low annoyed huff and an eye roll. Putting two fingers in her mouth Sophia lets out a low whistle for four seconds before switching into a high note for half a second more.
At first nothing happens, I eye up the cave opening with a smirk. Seconds later the ground starts shaking violently, the sound of crumbling rock could be heard through the entire mountain. Suddenly the mountain entrance pops with an explosion of dust and flying rock. Oliver's wings opens in front of us as a shield for the flying rocks.
When it finally settles Sophia is face to face with her dragon, its huge white head towered over Sophia's height with a good 5 inches. That's pretty impressive considering that Sophia is 5' 7" in height. Blood red eyes and massive teeth glance my way and her thin spiked tail is wrapped protectively around Sophia's body. Oliver's wing opens protectively across my body and I'm reminded why I respect Sophia so much.
How she tamed this monstrous creature I will NEVER understand.
Though I can't help but smile as Sophia places her hands on the dragons face and covers her with a bunch of chaste kisses. I shake my head with a grin as the dragon licks *kisses* her back.
"Hello Seaaira" she whispers with love.
(Hiccup's p.o.v)
I flew over the island; the air whipped at my face and stung my skin.
I grinned like a fool under the goat skin blind fold over my eyes.
My heart hammered against my ribs but being truthful this was the best part.
The part of being so out of control and having so much power.
It just filled my body with an indescribable sensation.
A high pitched scream of air shot passed my ears and I laughed, Toothless grumbled a bit before shaking his back. That sound I knew well. I gently pulled off the blindfold and looked back, there was Astride hot on my heels. A grin was plastered on her face. With a light tap of my shoe toothless flew up into the air, did a half log roll and was flying over top of Storm-fly. Astrid smiled before grabbing my upside down face and kissed my lips, I grinned into the kiss.
"Good morning Dragon-Master" she says with a sexy grin, I roll my eyes at my nickname.
"Good morning beautiful" I tap toothless again and he rolls back so were flying side by side with Astrid and Storm-fly. "Do you want to race?"
Toothless sticks out his tongue and lets it flap around in the wind. Storm-fly gurgles and does the same. Astrid laughs and leans over to rub Toothless's head.
"Do you want to lose?" she smirks, I reach forwards and grab her hand before placing feather light kisses on her knuckles and up her hand.
"In your dreams love" I smirk back "Come on bud!" I yelled/laughed, toothless gave me a mumbled growl.
Suddenly we flew forwards with a burst of speed, I freaked out as I fly backwards. I laugh loudly before reaching forwards and grabbing the front of the saddle. Toothless grinned before doing a log roll and dove into the cover of the dark clouds. I hear astride laughing as she tried to catch up.
"Hiccup, that's cheating!" she yells.
I smile as I see her searching the clouds for us. She crosses her arms in annoyance before leaning forwards and whispering something to storm-fly. Seconds later tail spikes come shooting through the clouds. We have to roll out of the clouds and I gasp as one flies past my face. Toothless finally levels out and I look at Astrid with my mouth open, her face held the smile of a rule-breaking child.
"Tail spikes?! Now who's cheating?" she laughs and shrugs her shoulders.
"Ha! If you really want cheating..." she smirks.
Within seconds a piece of chicken goes flying into the air and their gone.
Damn" I laugh and shake my head. "Maybe we should get you some chicken bud?"
Toothless grumbles lightly in agreement and we fly down towards the sea. My hands come up and I run my fingers through the misty blue waters.

When I see the cove I signal toothless to head down. I barely dismount toothless before he's tackled by a laughing storm-fly. I shake my head and laugh as they roll around the soft grass seeing who could pin the other first. I walk up to the dark caves and place my hand against the wall.
Astrid was nowhere to be seen.
I glanced around the cave before slowly walking up the slippery stone steps, deeper into the cave the crystals that line the walls started glowing.
"Aaaaaasssssstrid?" I say in a long dragged out tone. "Hellloooooooo?" I finally arrive at the top of the cavern and see a dimly lit figure in the corner of the room. "Astrid?"
I get no response.
Reaching down I grab my dragon sword and light up the room with a flash.
The figure was gone.
I went to light up the room again but my sword is knocked to the ground. My hands were held above my head and my legs were spread open and lifted from the ground by a knee. My back was pinned against the cave wall with a hand, gentle but firm around my throat.
I glanced up to see Astrid's face glowing in the light of the dim crystals, a predatory gaze held my eyes.
"You look positively delicious like this hiccup." she purrs "All spread out and open for me." Her tone made my body shiver and shake against the chilled stone.
I was usually in charge but sometimes her inner warrior would come out and I would be stuck at Astrid's willing mercy.
"My little, Dragon-Master." she whispers heatedly against my throat before dragging her teeth against my sensitive skin.
I whimpered at Astrid's skilled hands. They were running all over my body. Messing up my mind. A simple touch could make me forget my name.
"Ast-" I tried to speak but was cut off by her lips nibbling on my ear. "Ast-ahh..." I tried again, but it fell onto deaf ears as her hand found its way into my pants.
I finally gave into my desire, and stopped talking.
"There you are!" Gobber sighs with a big smile; I glance at Astrid who shrugs her shoulders in response.
"Uh, hey Gobber" I say with a forced smile.
Whenever he got like this something bad always happened... Well at least for me anyways.
"I've been looking for you all over the island!"
Toothless comes up and pushes his head under my arm. I gently rub his head with my fingers.
"Yeah well, I was out flying..." He nodding "With Astrid..." Smiling nod "Like I do every morning..." Nods "And you're not listening to a word I'm saying…" I sigh.
He slaps me on the back with a smile before laughing at some random thought.
"Nope, Anyway, like I said. I have been looking for you all over the island."
He rocks back and forth on his heels, yep defiantly not a good sign. I sigh when I get he's not going to go any further.
"Well you found me Gobber!" I say with as much false enthusiasm as I can muster "So, what did u need to tell me?"
"Oh, uh..." He pauses to think "Right! Your father wants to speak with you in the great hall immediately" I nod.
His smile was still plastered on his face; I had to stop the groan from leaving my mouth.
With a smile like that and a wanted talk from my father…
That meant they had talked.… Oh Odin...
I could only dread what it was about.
"Well of course!" Astrid says with false glee and shoves me forwards with enthusiasm "If the chief wants to talk, then we better not keep him waiting!" Toothless and Storm-Fly followed behind us "Thanks Gobber!" She called over her shoulder. When we were at a safe distance she spoke. "Okay what was that about?" I grabbed my face in annoyance.
"I don't know, but when he smiles like that. It means my father has either done something really stupid for himself, or done something really stupid for me. And it usually IS me!" I groaned at the thought. She grabbed my hand as we walked.
"Oh come on" Astrid smirks "Whatever it is it can't be that bad, right?" I shot her a "Have you met my father" face, she just rolled her eyes. "Just go talk to him and we can fly when you're done"
Astrid grabbed my shirt before pulling me in for her signature kiss, a very long kiss I might add though I'm not complaining. I gasp and leaned into the kiss before she pushed me through the wooden doors. A smile held my lips as I dreamily walk into the great hall.
I snapped out of it when I saw my father standing by the fire, hands behind his back.
"You as well Hofferson!" my father yells. Within seconds she comes sliding across the stone and into the room. With a quick look around Astrid smiles when she sees me, grabbing my hand we all stand together.
"Children it's good to see you're ALL finally here" he glanced towards Astrid and I, the twins smirked loudly as they tried to hold in giggles.
"Took you long enough!" Ruff laughs.
"They were probably too busy making out" Snout-lout laughs; I blush lightly and look at the fire. This causes them to laugh even harder, Astrid smirks at the irony of how far off that comment was but proceeds to shut him up with a well aim punch to the face.
"Anyway!" She says loudly glancing at my father "The chief wanted to see us"
My father awkwardly cleared his throat before shifting his feet. Was, he... Nervous...?
"Uh yes..." he says, shifting from one foot to the other again and pulling the collar of his clothes
Oh Odin. He was...
"Children I have a surprise for you" he pauses to think about his words "Um… how much do you remember about your childhood?" We glanced at him weirdly.
"I'd say most of it dad, Can you be a bit more specific?"
"Uh, do you feel like something's missing?" He tries again, I glance around the room.
Snout-lout looked like he couldn't care less; the twins are still lost in utter confusion. Normal... Astrid had a hand on her chin as she thought about it; even fish-legs looked lost as he sent a slow shrug in my direction.
"Missing, like how...?" I asked slowly.
"Like missing hiccup, GONE. VANISHED! DISAPPEARED! The things that happened to stuff when they go MISSING?!" he groans and massages her head, which had started to sweat.
"Um, no. Should we?" Astrid asks
"YES!" he yells in annoyance "A LITTLE THING IS MISSING! Even if it's not little anymore..." He trails off at the last part, I barely heard it.
"Um… We, forgot to brush our teeth this morning...?" Ruff tries
Tuff gasps.
"WHAT?! I could have sworn we did that!" he looks at her and rubs his chin "Or was that yesterday...?" he trails off in thought.
"Okay, Eww..." Astrid frowns, moving slightly closer to me.
"Oh just tell them already!" Gobber cries as he bursts into the room.
"I'm getting to it Gobber!" My father whines "Are you SURE you can't think of anything?" Gobber rolls his eyes.
"Sophia and her father are coming to visit Berk!" He yells with glee.
"Gobber!" My father cries "I wanted to tell them!" Gobber laughs.
"Well, you took too long" he shrugs.
"Wait what?!" Astrid shrieks with joy, the others mouths fell open as a jaw splitting grin soon followed.
"Are, are you... Serious?" Fish-legs whispered as we still tried to grasp the subject.
It had been years... years since she came her. Even thinking about it memories of her beautiful smile and Dark brown hair glistening in the sun-light. Her contagious laughter that even got my father on the floor with stitches in his sides. Her impressive fighting skills that were always on par with Astrid's, that in itself was amazing. And just Sophia. That girl how had more heart than anyone I'd ever met and still to this day.
"Yes, Sophia and her father Fredrick-The-Fierce are coming here to Berk" he said, glancing annoyingly at Gobber.
"Sophia's, coming to berk..." my mind whispers over and over "She's actually Coming Back..."
Okay chapter two, so sorry for the wait! R&R people! peace out.
