Helloooooo! I see you've found chapter two. Talk about obvious lol

But I have some news! I've recently been binge watching stacyplays's gameplay of Minecraft: Story Mode, and I'm enjoying it very much. Apparently all I write is romance, angst, hurt/comfort, friendship, and drama, so I MUST WRITE AN ANGST FANFICTION FOR MCSM. Please tell me I'm not the only one who hardcore ships female Jesse and Petra, aka Jestra? Tell me I'm not the only one... PLEASE I'M GOING CRAZY HERE.

Well then, onto the story!

PREVIOUSLY ON DRAGONS: A NEW BEGINNING...

"We're going to Berk."

"Berk? Seriously, Hiccup? I mean, we went there last week! Why do we need to go again?"

"So why are we going there?"

"Because we're going to have a visitor."

"Ah, son! So glad you could join us!"

"Hiccup? Meet your cousin, Eira."

"Excuse me?" Hiccup asked, disbelieving. "I don't have a... cousin, apart from Snotlout."
Stoick winked at him(which, in Hiccup's opinion, was slightly disconcerting) and said, "Ah. But that's where you're wrong!"

Hiccup assumed the large woman would be his... aunt? "So, on your side, or... or Mum's?" he asked. Stoick frowned. "On your mother's. Your aunt Helgea is her eldest sister."

Eira smiled at Hiccup brightly. She clearly had no idea how annoyed he was, and said enthusiastically, "I'm coming to your island to stay for two weeks! Isn't this amazing?"

Hiccup stared.

Two. Whole. WEEKS.

"Okay then," said Hiccup, trying to keep his voice as level as possible. "And- and why's that?"

Aunt Helgea threw back her head and roared with laughter. Eventually she wiped the tears from her eyes, and said in an irritated tone, "He's jokin'. He's gotta be. What do you teach the kid, Stoick? My, if Valka were here-"
"Don't talk about her! Look, Helgea, I assure you Hiccup is not joking."
"You mean you haven't- you haven't TOLD him?!" blustered Helgea.
"Eh. Well... no."

Eira smiled. "I love your hair, Hiccup! It's totally different from mine, more red if you know what I mean, but it's nice!"
Hiccup smiled back uncomfortably. "Uh, thanks?"

"Alright then. Hiccup, Eira? Helgea and I have to go to the Finnoak islands tomorrow to sign a peace treaty. A lot of the tribes are. And then we have... other business to attend to. We figured it wouldn't be a good idea for you to come, Eira- no place for a young girl like you- so we're sending you off to Dragon's Edge for a couple of weeks. You don't mind, do you Hiccup?... Hiccup?"

Hiccup started, realising he had been staring at the wall for the past forty seconds. "No. Not at all! That's- yep, that's fine."
Stoick sighed. "Good. Hiccup, could I talk to you alone for a minute?"
He pulled Hiccup upstairs and said, "Look. Hiccup, between you and me, Helgea's lost the plot. She seems to think Eira will be in danger if the Riders know her identity. So she's not your cousin Eira. She's your old family friend Jessika. I- I know it seems crazy, but-"
"What do you mean?!" hissed Hiccup. "Dad, I trust the other Riders with my life. Surely I can just tell Astrid or something?"

"No! No, you can't. She- she's the last living relative of your mother- apart from you of course... If she called off the peace treaty with Berk, I'd never be able to forgive myself. Just... Please." Stoick looked at his son with pleading eyes, and Hiccup gave in.

"Fine. But I have a feeling that "Jessika" isn't going to go down very well with Astrid..."
