(Well I'm Back, The Copyright Line Is In Chapter 5, Now Where Were We, Oh Yes Chapter 7)
The group stood in a few minutes of silence till it was broken by Halden.
"Yes, but you are gone for a few days and should be back for the Feast Celebration, that should give you plenty of time, for the collar to be fixed and you to be out of here but right now, I have to go see you", he said pointing to Astrid then faced his sister, "make sure no one see's them".
"Wait, you can't just go, what are we supposed to do, what about the collar ?" Hiccup excalimed, trying to keep the ebony-haired teenager from leaving.
Hiccup was one of those people that usually had the answer for everything, but here he was in a completely different time line, knowing that if anyone outside this house were to see him or his friends, disaster would strike, and the only chance for him and the rest of the viking gang, was headed out the door for who knows how long".
Halden turned to his fellow green-eyed friend and spoke, "guys I need to go now, if I don't then this time's Astrid will be suspicious, and I'm guessing, she's not going to be as accepting to certain things as Gobber was".
Halden looked over to his sister, "Cassie will be able to help you, she can guide you to dad's workshop and keep you guys from getting discovered until I'm back, right Case"?
She nodded as her brother went out the door and she heard the beating of boneknapper wings.
The blue-eyed girl faced the rest of the group, "well, I believe we got off on the wrong foot, I'm Cassandra, but most call me Case or Cassie, I'm Halden's sister" she said holding her hand out.
"Thanks, I'm... well you already know who we are", Hiccup slightly chuckled, trying to ease the tenseness of the situation.
"Indeed, so I'm going to take a guess, that Halden ended up having you catch him and that's why your here and not the Mastila or the other collar".
"Yep".
"Darn it, , I even gave him frijuf powder to cover his scent and he still got caught".
Astrid went then to the girl with sudden anger in her eyes, "wait, you gave him that, that stuff hurt my dragon". Though most would had been scared to death, Case only chuckled.
"Oh don't worry, it only masks a scent, meaning the worst it does is irritate them for a few minutes, depending on how close they are to it, even if they ate it, it wouldn't be fatal, just irritating".
Hiccup spoke up to her, "you know a lot about dragon's don't you".
Cassie went to the table to clean up, "well I'm not in dragon training, but I'm still more useful than people give me credit for, what I know about dragons is manly on them as creatures, not weapons, in fact I can even..." Case stopped right there, realizing she said to much.
"Even what"
"Nothing"
"But you said..."
"Now first things first", she quickly exclaimed, trying to change the subject, "that with Gobber was a lucky shot, and though we don't want to, if anyone were to see you, you need a disguise"
"A disguise ?"
"Well not something over the top, you need to still look like vikings, just different vikings".
"But how are we suppose to do that ?" Astrid asked.
"Well maybe a little change in hair and clothes, I have some the girls can borrow, and if their not the right size, Jolene's might do the trick", she answered.
"Jol who ?"
"Oh my sister, she's in dragon training with Halden, and what she doesn't know won't kill her, right ?"
Snotlout decided to interrupt, "well that's great for them, but what about us".
Cassie looked at them, "I'll show you the workshop, when Halden get's back, he can help you, follow me."
They followed her to the second room on the first floor, as she lifted a rug to be hidden a door on the floor, Case opened it, to be another stair-case, "okay so just have you and your dragons...", Cassie's eyes became wide in terror.
"Uh guys, where are your dragons ?"
"They didn't come in with us", replied Hiccup, "they stayed outside with Crackle".
"But Gobber said he only saw Crackle outside".
"Then were are they"?
Cassandra looked to them, "I don't know, let's try the barn, and if their not there than I don't know what else to do".
The brownish blonde looked outside the door, to make sure the close was clear and ran towards the house's dragon stable's with the other following, she opened the large door a mix of relief and terror.
Both past Toothless and Stormfly were there but so was future Toothless.
Hiccup and Astrid, not yet seeing the future Toothless, ran to their own dragons, "Oh Stormfly, come here girl", Astrid exclaimed.
"Over here bud", and Toothless followed pursuit, but his future self, could hear his rider's voice as well and followed.
"Good boy Toothless and... Toothless ?"
Cassandra put a hand to her head.
"Oh boy, this is going to be harder than I thought".
(Poor Cassandra, this is indeed going to be harder than they thought, I know there's not much going on here, but I wanted to leave with a cliffhanger, and the next chapter is going to be up tomorrow, actually I was wondering how no one in the reviews were questioning the lack of dragons in the room, but here's the answer, now WHAT DOES ASTRID WANT, WHY IS FUTURE TOOTHLESS THERE, CAN CASSIE HANDLE THIS, look back tomorrow to find out, read and review and see you tomorrow)
