Chapter two folks, enjoy :) WARNING: This chapter may include a terrible past and an unspoken promise.


Hiccup looked at his father for the first time, scared but he stayed silent and sat down on his own chair, with Toothless by his side. Then Stoick began,

"Hiccup, before you were born, Berk had more babies born as a hiccup than how many we had today, before I even was chief but married to your mother. Your grandfather, he... absolutely hated having the new Berkians grown up as a...hiccup..."


"Father, you can't possible do this, what will the village think of you!" Younger version of Stoick exclaimed when his father was right infront of him.

"Stoick, I can't have Berk begin to fill up with weaklings, this has to be done. So you and Valka better pray that the child she's pregnant with, is not a hiccup!" With that Magness the Fearless stormed off the house, gathered single men or women warriors and began to shout,

"Go to every home in the village, and get every baby that is a runt, a hiccup, and bring it to the killing rink. There the monstrous nightmares we caught will take care of those runts!"(It's not Hookfang, or any of the other dragons in the academy so don't freak out, okay so back to the story.)

This led to cries of viking mothers, screaming and crying over the loss of their baby who were born as a hiccup. Unfortunately, Stoick's father was too busy getting rid of every runt, that he didn't know that a few weeks later, Valka gave birth to her child.

Stoick was pacing around the bottom room while he heard his wife's cries of labor in the room upstairs, and the baby wasn't due until after a month. If the child was a hiccup then he would lose his child in one day, no exceptions.

He tried not to think of the worse, then Gobber and Spitelout signaled him to come up and see the baby. "It's a boy," Gobber breathed in and out, then went down stairs with Spitelout to let the family have a moment.

Stoick looked at his wife, then at the small bundle on her arms whose cries were going off into small but noticeable hiccups. Valka smiled at her child, but she then looked at her husband in fear," Stoick, our son's name is Hiccup, but he's a...hiccup..."

Those words echoed into Stoick's head forever, repeating "A hiccup.." "It can't be Valka, then that would mean that my father will..."

"Kill our son, his grandson. Stoick we have to hide him, only Gobber and Spitelout know and agreed to keep this a secret. Spitelout has a strong baby son name Snolout, the Ingermens have a healthy boy name Fishlegs, the Thorsons have a twin girl and boy but they are strong, and the Hoffersons has a fierce daughter name Astrid so they're all safe."

Stoick nodded his head and looked at his son, who opened his forest emerald green eyes widely at his father and began to stretch his tiny hands toward his father and Valka handed the baby to Stoick so he could hold his son. "We'll protect him Valka, no matter what, I won't let my father hurt our Hiccup," Stoick promised.

So they hid their son from warriors who would come in and ask if Valka gave brith or not. Valka, being a clever women, stuffed a small blanket in her shirt so it would seem like she was still pregnant to the warriors.

Stoick was right by her side yelled," Begone with you, she's not giving birth until a couple of months, leave!"

Once the warriors leave, the parents would care for their son like any parent would, but kept him in his room so no one will suspect. After six months, Magness became very suspicious of his son's actions along with Valka.

"Those two are hiding something, and I won't rest until I find out what," he growled to himself.

"Stoick, we can't keep hiding Hiccup, even though he's small, he's growing. What about your father, he is still getting every hiccup in the island and throwing them in the nightmare cage so those nightmares can go kill them by biting them to death,or. Or burning them... Or..."

"Calm down Valka, I promised you and Hiccup that my father won't get him. And I won't break that."

Unfortunately, Stoick spoke too soon.

Later that night, while the parents were sleeping along with their son, who was in his cradle upstairs , and the blanket Valka had in her shirt on a chair, the front door creaked open. Hiccup moved around in his sleep a little before an evil shadow approached his bed.

The parents were sound asleep until the heard bumping objects and then Hiccup's cries of fear. Both parents woke up and once they heard Hiccup's cries, they gasped,

"HICCUP!"

Stoick went up and saw his father, right there holding on to Hiccup with a dagger on his hand with some blood and the child crying as the father saw a small but noticeable cut on the baby's lower chin.

"THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN HIDING STOICK?!" "A HICCUP, YOUR SON IS A HICCUP?!" Magness shouted infuriated, shaking the baby, causing him to be more frightened and cry even more.

"Father, let him go! LET GO OF MY SON!" Stoick pleaded and began to approach him but his father backed away, holding the dagger close to Hiccup's chest.

"I will do no such thing, you know what happens to a hiccup son. Your boy is the last hiccup in this island, and I will not let him live!" "I'LL KILL HIM RIGHT NOW, RIGHT INFRONT OF YOUR VERY EYES!"

"No father please, he's our only child, give him back!"

"Not a chance...However, why don't we make a deal."

"A deal?"

"Yes, we both will fight fist to fist, who ever falls first loses, but it's timed. If I win, then I'll go, but take your son with me and do whatever I want with him." "But if I lose, then I'll still go since I hate this island, and let you and Valka keep this runt."

Stoick looked at his son who was crying, as if his cries were begging for someone to save him, so without a choice, Stoick nodded," Alright."

There at the plaza, stood the former chief and the new chief who is Stoick. Hiccup was being held by Goathi, so Valka wouldn't get any ideas if she held him. "I never wanted this to happen father, but you led me no choice..."

The fight began, Magness threw a punch on Stoick's arm, causing him to almost fall, but he didn't. The battle was ferocious, but neither one fell, and the time limit was almost finished and no one knew who will win and what will become of Hiccup.

"All well son, you tried, your son is all mine by the time this finish."

Stoick looked at his son's eyes, they seemd to stare back at Stoick with...Confidence and determination? Already six months old and Hiccup is cheering his father on.

With that, Stoick had new inner strength, and he continued on the battle, for his son. Magness almost fell until...

PRRRRAAAAAPPPPP!

The horns blew, which meant time was up, but it was in a tie. "A tie, ha, well I always didn't like it here, so I'm leaving but that weakling of yours better get stronger, or he'll have no future if I'm ever to come back. And when I come back, I swear Stoick. If that hiccup looks weak to me...You and Valka can kiss him goodbye, and that I promise you, guarantee. "

Later that day, the parents looked at the sea where they last saw the cruel father of Stoick sail off with an evil grin as he shouted back," Your son won't be safe forever, I'll be back, just you wait!"

Stoick stood his ground along with Valka, then smiled down at Hiccup, who was sleeping in Valka's arms, but then looked back at the sea. When his father makes a promise, that promise is kept, no matter what. Even if it means by force..

"My father won't get him, no matter what he promises..."


Hiccup looked at his father in great shock. "Y-you mean, I was the only hiccup to not get killed by your father?"

Stoick nodded, Hiccup got up and stood still, trying to get used to the new information, but he just couldn't stop thinking about the letter, and then the past about what his grandfather did. He tried to hide his fear, but the rest of the letter that stated that his grandfather will come in two days made him feel worse.

Stoick saw fear grow on his son, he walked up to him, and put his hand over Hiccup shoulder," You can cry if you want son. You won't look any weak to me..."

The tears that were forming on Hiccup's emeral eyes began to fall and he turned to his father, embracing him while crying softly on his tunic. All Stoick could do was try to comfort his son, he knew that he would cry, and only one clear crystal tear fell from the father's eyes.

"Why...Dad, why did this happen?"

All the father could do was rub small circles around his sobbing son, knowing that Hiccup must have felt guilty about him being the only Hiccup to live, but who wouldn't.

"It's okay son, your grandfather won't get you, ever."


Okay the end of this chapter and the next chapter will come soon. :)
