Chapter 3: No Trust

Her legs left the ground and she shut her eyes. She extended her arms and felt them being grabbed by a pair of claws. She slowly opened her eyes, noticed she wasn't falling, and looked up. The twins' and their Zippleback caught her. She smiled at the dragon (or dragons) as they placed her back on the ground.

She trusted the Zippleback, but not its riders. Especially not after a certain event.


"What are you two doing?" I asked.

Both them turned around and looked at me.

"Nothing." Ruffnut answered.

"Come on Tuff." her brother said. "I think she can keep a secret."

"What secret?" I asked eagerly, now interested in what they were up to.

"Fine." Ruffnut huffed. "We're playing a trick on someone and-"

"On who?" I interrupted.

"That doesn't matter right." she replied, before she continued explaining what they were doing. "We are hiding these objects all over Berk to mess with someone. Now, do you want to help?"

"Sure." I answered with a mischievous smirk.

"Alright. Take this and hide it." she handed me an axe.

I looked it for a moment. Before I could ask once more on who's it was, Ruffnut told me, "Go on!"

"Alright. I'm going." I huffed and walked away. I heard the twins snicker as I was leaving and I knew they were up to no good. Instead of hiding it, like I agreed to do, I decided to see whom it belonged to.

"I wonder who's this is." I asked myself, once I was far away from the Thorson twins. I sat down on the grass, behind one of the houses, and examined it once more. I had a feeling that I had seen it before, but I just couldn't recognize it.

I got up and tried to look for its owner. I wondered around town, struggling with the idea of who's axe it was that I didn't paying attention to were I was going. I bumped into someone.

"Hey, watch it." Astrid growled as she turned around to see me. "Oh, it's just you." she smiled, but it faded away. "Wait is that my axe?" she pointed at the weapon in my hands.

I then remembered that it was hers. I couldn't believe that I had forgotten, especially since I used it all afternoon yesterday.

"So you're the crook that stole it." she crossed her arms.

"What? No," I responded. "It wa-"

But the blonde didn't allow me to explain myself. Instead, she cut me off by saying, "Don't try to pin it on someone else." Then she snatched her axe from my hands and murmured, "I thought we were friends."


Although they both made up, she was still holding a grudge on them for tricking her. She didn't take things very lightly.

"Nice job, guys." Hiccup told them. "I hope you learned to trust each other a little more."

"Not really," mumbled Erica as she walked up to her own dragon.

Hiccup heard her, but didn't say anything to her. He knew that she had a problem with the Thorson twins, so that's why he paired them up. However, he didn't know what exactly happened between the Vikings. "Alright, next up is-" he started.

ROAR

Everyone turned toward the sound of the dragon and saw some fire coming from the forest. "It's back." Fishlegs whimpered.

"Everybody onto your dragons." Hiccup commanded and they all obeyed. Soon, all of the teens were flying on their dragons towards the noise.
