Kind of a short chapter, but I had to show what's going on with Berk and all. So yeah and a little more of hmm what's going on behind the scenes. All will be reveled soon! Enjoy and please review! I love reading them!

Hiccup's pov:

"Hiccup!"

I heard my dad yell at me. I knew what it was about.

"Yeah dad?"

"Have you seen Runa yet?"

I sighed and shook my head. Runa had taken off somewhere without letting anyone know. My dad had all the riders out looking for her but so far none of us had found her. I heard my dad sigh and place a hand on his forehead.

"That girl is too sneaky."

"You should've made her wear bells."

Gobber pitched in.

"That way when she tries to sneak off she makes a nice little tingling sound as she goes."

I tried not to laugh at that. We were interrupted by Chief Surt. Following him was his son.

"Well Stoick? We're waiting."

"I'm sorry."

"You're sorry? That's all you have to say? You invite us here to have my son and your daughter marry and then she disappears on the day she arrived back home?"

"I'm sorry Runa isn't here yet. Don't worry Runa and Gaut will be married."

"And besides it was going to take a few days to get everything put together for the wedding. Runa has done this multiple times and she has always returned."

Gobber added.

Surt looked annoyed while Gaut seemed to be staring off into nothing.

"Fine, let her take her time. But it better not be for too much longer Stoick."

With that they both walked off. I looked at my dad and he looked down at me.

"Hiccup do you know where Runa would've gone? She's not o Berk at all."

"I'm not sure dad but maybe she went to Dragon Island. I'll grab the others and search the surrounding islands."

"Hurry son, Berk needs them to marry soon."

"I know dad."

I hoped on Toothless and we took to the skies. At least my dad seemed pleased by my answer. I however wasn't so sure. I just hoped that she wasn't with that deranged kid. Oh please gods, let her not be with him!

Dagur's pov:

"It'll take a few days but we can get out of here before the week is over."

I smiled as I told Runa this. I watched as her face lite up and she hugged me.

"Oh thank you Dagur! I can't wait!"

"Me neither Runa."

I held her in my arms. Feeling her warmth seep into me. She was mine to keep and I was never going to let her slip away this time. Not even Hiccup, Stoick, nor their dragons could separate them. She had proven that by simply coming here once her father had broken the deal he had made with her long ago.

"Dagur?"

"Yes Runa?"

"Once all is said and done will you…"

I stopped her by kissing her softly.

"Yes my dear, I'll take care of it all. I promise."

She smiled and buried her face in my chest. I combed her hair with my fingers. Don't worry my love; I'll take care of everything. As I thought of this I grinned.

I was with Runa near the edge of town. She was holding the sword I gave her protectively. I'm glad she really liked it. It was the reason I had been gone for so long. I had to make the perfect gift for her. I had tried many other sword styles and designs but finally found this one. And it seemed to suit her quite well. Just then I heard her stomach growl.

"Someone's hungry?"

"I'm sorry I didn't have breakfast before you arrived."

"That's not good for you, you know."

"Yeah well, I didn't have time."

"You're the daughter of the chief; you make the time to have a good or at least a decent meal."

She shrugged and I looked around to see a merchant selling apples. I put my finger over my mouth telling her to be quiet. She nodded though she was smiling and watched as I made my way over to the stand. Luckily for me the merchant was busy with another customer. I quickly grabbed two apples and made my way back over to Runa.

"Here you go, it's not much but it will tide you over for lunch."

I heard her giggle and take one of the apples.

"You have the other one, a thief needs to eat too."

I smiled and took a bit of mine.

"Well other than the apples, have I stolen anything else?"

"Now that you mention it you have."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Like what?"

She giggled again and got really red before saying,

"My heart."

"I felt my face heat up."

She giggled and began to eat her apple. I smiled and ate mine. I had stolen her heart. I don't know how I did it but I'm glad it happened. Runa was mine.
