No Son Of Mine

By: Adazula

Story description: Kristan Arren Haddock was always the pride of Berk. Even his cousin, Hiccup, believes he is meant to be chief. But what the village doesn't know is that Kristan is actually a girl.

Chapter 1: Dragon Attack

Berk has different expectations for their future generations. But everyone knows who has the best potential to lead them to battle and prosperity. It is not the Chief's son, but his own nephew Kristan Haddock.

What they don't realize is that Kristan is not a boy, but a teenaged girl with one heck of a secret. But she's only doing this because of her father.

It was quiet night on the island of Berk. That is for Kristan, until it had to be disrupted by one little thing.

" DRAGON ATTACK!" shouted a fellow viking that woke Kristan from her pleasant dream.

" Oh great. Here we go again." she mumbled as she scurries out of bed immediately. It was a good thing she learned how to sleep with chest bindings on. It would have taken her forever to get dress. Kristan grabs her sword and throws it on to her back. She bounds downstairs and goes outside to see hell starting to take place.

" Morning Kristan." shouted a viking flying past her.

" Morning Hoark." she said in her perfected male voice. It's actually not hard for her to do. It's practically second nature. She only spoken in that voice. She never once actually tried to sound like the girl she really is. Her dad would literally kill her without remorse if he found out.

She flies by several more viking greeting her before making it to town square where all but one viking teen is present with the water barrel.

" Kristan! My Man!" said her cousin, Snotlout, giving her nudge on the shoulder. It's obvious he's trying to gain some brownie points with her.

" Put a sock in it. Snotlout." She said filling up a bucket.

" Agree. Alright let's go." said Astrid right beside Kristan as everyone starts moving the barrel .

" Alright. Twins takes the baker's house. Put out fire, but don't take their bread. Snotlout and Fishlegs, the house near the gates. Astrid and I will take the one right next to the Forge. Meet back here for further instructions." Kristan states in her authority tone as they wheel the barrel into position near the Forge.

" Right!" Everyone else states as they divert to their assign places.

Both she and Astrid toss water on to the house and turn around to refill when the house blows up from another shot of fire. She looks towards the Forge to see a small boy in the widow with lovesick look on his face towards Astrid. He tries to climb through the window only to yanked back by the one arm and leg blacksmith, Gobber.

Everyone knows that the boy is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, son of the chief Stoick the Vast. He is the heir to chiefdom by birthright and Kristan is well aware of that. However most of the village believe that it's Kristan's right to be chief, because she is obviously the better leader and is stronger than him. The only draw back is that she is not Stoick's child, but his brother's.

Most people don't know this, but Kristan's father, Baggybum, has been plotting to overthrow Hiccup as remotely an idea to being chief ever since the chief's wife was pregnant with him. To do that he needed the perfect son to be presented as the perfect candidate.

The only problem was that his own wife had not given him an heir. She gave him a daughter instead before she died from childbirth. Now a girl would be immediately disqualified from becoming a chief of a tribe unlike a boy, who is related to the chief. He knew he that a daughter would ruin it all for him.

Baggybum was planning to kill his baby daughter, until he realizes that no one knows about the baby being a girl and if the people believe he has a son, then it all works out in his favor especially since he no longer has a wife to produce another child. With that in mind, he announced to the village his wife gave him a son and declared the name to be 'Kristan Arren Haddock'.

As Kristan was just about to refill her bucket, she almost gets run over by Hiccup with another one of his ridiculous contraptions.

"Sorry!" Her cousin yells as he continues his journey uphill.

" What are you up to this time?" She mutters feeling certain he's going to do something disastrous again.

" Take over" Kristan said to Astrid as she makes a bold move to go after him.

For a small boy, Hiccup has fast legs. Kristan loses him on the way and was about to head back down to the brigade, when all of a sudden she heard a scream that only belong to person. She sees her cousin fly past her as a monstrous nightmare tries a fire at him. She watches him get behind a post to block the lava like fire from scorching him alive. She has to admit, there are some advantages to being little.

Hiccup looks around the pole as the monstrous nightmare sneaks up from the other side. Kristan luckily arrives just in time to hit the dragon in the face with the flat of her sword, and diverts it's attention towards her. The dragon tries to fire at her, but the dragon has no more fire power.

She's certainly not as strong as most vikings, but she learned how to use a sword very well. The dragon instantly knows this by seeing the fury in Kristan's eyes and the gleam of her unsheathed sword and takes off in fright. She turns around to see the burnt pole collapses and the fire top roll down the hill into the main square.

The Chief comes up to them with anger look written on his face. Kristan couldn't help but feel bad for her cousin that is about to get the heat.

" Sorry dad." Hiccup said looking down in shame.

As dawn breaks, the dragons leave with the live stock, leaving the people with even less food now for the winter. Hiccup really did it now.

" Okay, but I hit a Night Fury." He said right before she gets grabbed by the scruff of his neck. But he continues, " Not like the last few times Dad. I mean I literally actually hit. You guys were but, and I had a clear shot. It went down just after Raven point. Let's get a search party out there and…"

" Stop!" Stoick shouted. " Just stop. Everytime you step outside, disaster follows. I don't have time for this Hiccup. Winter is coming and I have an entire village to feed."

" Well between you and me, the village could do with a little less feeding don't you think." Hiccup said. A few villagers felt self-conscious after that comment.

" Idiot." Kristan muttered slapping her forehead. " This is not helping your case cousin." She thinks as she watches the whole thing unfold.

"This isn't a joke Hiccup. You need to stop all of this and act more like Kristan. At least he follows orders that I give him! It was pure luck that he was there or thor knows what could have happened to you! Now get back to the house" Then he turns to Gobber and said, " make sure he gets there."

She watches as Gobber pushes Hiccup into the direction of his house. As he passes her she hears the other teens taunt him.

" Quite the performance." said Tuffnut.

" I never seen anyone mess up that badly. That helped." Snotlout said.

" Thank you. I was trying." Hiccup sarcastically.

Kristan, feeling terrible for Hiccup, takes and smacks Snotlout with his own helmet and whispers angrily " He may have screwed up, but you don't need to rub it in."

Snotlout may not be smart but he knew well enough not to talk back to someone like Kristan. So he kept his mouth shut and went home.

Hiccup said to Gobber as he heads up the hill , " I really did hit one."

" Sure, Hiccup." Gobber said.

" He never listens to me."

" It runs in the family."

" And when he does, he always has that disappointed look on his face. Like someone skimped on the meat in his sandwich. ' Excuse me. Barmaid. I'm afraid you switched orders with my brother. I ordered a strong boy with qualities of a leader. With guts and glory on the side. How come my brother has the perfect son and mine is a talking fish bone.'"

" Leave Kristan out of this. He's not that selfish to try and upstage you on purpose. He just seems perfect all because of his own dad being hard on him. You know, both of you are not that much different on the inside. Besides it's not so much what you look like but it's inside your father can't stand."

" Thank you for summing that up."

" The point is stop trying so hard to be something you're not."

" I just want to be one of you guys." Hiccup said as he close the front door. He runs through the house and leaves through the back door. Not knowing someone is watching him.

Meanwhile, Kristan starts walking back to her house. She was planning to go back to sleep and then meet with Uncle Stoick later who wants to talk to her about something. As she is reaching the top of the hill, she hears someone running in her direction and shouting" Hey Kris!"

She turns around and sees that it's Astrid. Kristan gives her small smile. Astrid is the only true friend she has. Many people don't know that Astrid is a nice person through that whole tough exterior. She doesn't know about Kristan's secret, but she's the only person that is allowed call Kristan 'Kris' and that takes an achievement.

" Sup Astrid." she said.

" Great Job today with the whole Hiccup thing." she said giving her a playful punch to the shoulder.

" Hey give him a break. We all screw up somewhere." Kristan said.

" But he needs to get his head out of the clouds and stop getting in the way."

" He's just different. You can't blame him for that."

" At least you treat him like family. Even though you're after his chief post." Astrid said.

" It's my father that wants me to be chief."

" Can't you just say 'No'"

" You try getting my father to rethink why I was born in the first place."

" How is he?"

" Usual. Look I don't want to talk about him. Ok."

" I'm heading to the Arena for battle practice. You want to join me? At this rate, we'll take out the competition for sure." Astrid encourages her friend as she playfully punches him.

Kristan looks up as Astrid turns her face away. But Kristan manages to catch a blush appearing on her cheeks.

She said to say something fast to mostly avoid where this was going. Luckily she already had an excuse. " Can't. I going to catch a few more zzz and then I'm going to meet my Chief uncle at the Great Hall for a talk."

" Well see you around Kris." Said Astrid running back to her house.

Kristan waves to her. She knows she has to tell Astrid that she can't return the romantic feelings, but she still wants to remain friends while keeping her ultimate secret. That is going to be difficult to explain.

She gets a full sight of the the chief's home and sees her cousin leaving through the back door when he was supposed to stay. Kristan knows he's going after that Night Fury he claims to have taken down.

" Son of Loki." She mutters annoyed at her disobedient cousin as she runs, deciding to go after him.

This is story I thought about for a few months now and I longed since wrote this chapter and a couple of more. It was on the wall of ideas for the next story in one of the chapters of my Unknown Child story. I decided to post this to see how you guys feel about this. I'm hesitant because it is a movie AU and those have been done quite a few times. Don't be surprise if I don't continue this because of the overused plot, but tell me if you want to see more of this.

Please Review and we will see how this turns out.
