(9 years later)
Toothless was flying as fast as he could. The people of Berk had finally figured out about Hicca's gift, or curse as they would call it, and nearly killed her because of it. On his back laid his charge, critically injured. He could feel her blood seeping from the wounds on her body. He was terrified for once in his life. Terrified of losing her. He had to get her to Viggo and fast before she lost too much blood.
Toothless himself was hurt as well but his mind was not on his injuries. As long as he got her to the hunter village where he knew she would be safe, that was all that mattered. As soon as the hunter island came into view, he let out a piercing screech, knowing the chief hunter would know it was him. He stumbled when he landed on the castle balcony just outside of Viggo's office. The dragon nearly collapsed from exhaustion. His sight blurred as he watched the Grimborn brothers run to him and Hicca. He felt a warm hand on his head before he faded from conscience.
Viggo had been working on paperwork when he heard the screech of a Night Fury. He knew exactly who it was. There was a certain sense of urgency to the screech though. Viggo got up in time to see Toothless land on the balcony, stumbling before he collapsed. Viggo rushed out of his office calling attention to his brother, who was guarding the door. He placed a hand on Toothless's head and felt his entire body go slack. He looked and saw Hicca on the dragon's back, severely wounded.
"Ryker get Agatha now," Viggo said his voice wavered slightly with worry for the girl he had all but adopted as his daughter.
He gently picked the girl up off of the dragon's back and settled her onto the sofa in front of the fireplace in his office. He would never say how affected by this he was, not aloud anyway. Ryker had rushed to get their healer, Agatha, for the injured girl. He was worried as well, though he didn't show it. Hicca had made a spot in his cold, hardened heart. He had a sudden flashback to when she was nine.
~ Viggo and Ryker were in Viggo's office looking over paperwork. A thump on the balcony called attention to the brothers. They weren't worried for they already knew who it was. The light sound of feet running across the balcony had the corners of Viggo's lips twitching. Amusement shone in his dark mocha eyes.
"Viggo! Viggo! Viggo!" came the excited voice of nine-year-old Hicca.
"Hello dear Hicca," Viggo said his eyes softening slightly at the sight of the young girl.
"Watch what I can do!" She said bouncing on the balls of her feet, before shifting into her dragon form and giving the brothers a big gummy smile. Both brothers' attention now on her.
~Shink~
Tiny sharp, pearl white teeth unsheathed from the toothless bright pink gums. Ryker let out a quiet snort as he watched her bounce up and down in excitement. It was rare to see a true smile on her face, especially after what those berkians have been doing to her.
Viggo was equally amused at the child's excitement as she sheathed and unsheathed her pearly white teeth in rapid secession. He could see his brother's eye start to twitch at the nonstop sound. Hicca's green eyes were alight with mischief, telling him that she was doing it on purpose.
"Damn it Hicca stop it!" Ryker finally lost it throwing a soft glare at the child who looked too innocent to not be guilty. ~Shink~ Ryker faceplanted onto the table while Viggo let out a booming laugh that caught his brother and Hicca off guard. Hicca was happy to see a smile on the face of the man who was her father in all but blood. ~
Viggo was brought from his memories as his brother and their healer rushed through the doors to his office. He stood aside and let Agatha look over the wounded child. Four broken ribs; dislocated left shoulder; right leg broken in three places; left knee cap shattered; left ankle dislocated; multiple lacerations, burns, and bruises; severe blood loss. The list of injuries was enough to send Viggo, who had the patients of a god, on a massacre.
Viggo's figure tensed in rage, not letting any emotion escape his impeccably flawless mask. The only outward sign was his mocha eyes narrowing dangerously, turning into dark blades of steel. It took Agatha five hours to fix the damage done to Hicca, before she moved onto healing Toothless.
Hicca looked so small curled into a ball on the sofa. Too small for his liking. He knew he would get no answers until either Toothless or Hicca woke. With this thought, he sat back at his desk to finish the paperwork that seemed to spontaneously breed by the minute. He rested his elbows on his desk and rubbed his face with both hands, feeling useless at the moment to do anything to help Hicca. He could only hope she woke up and soon.
