Another Haddock Girl Chapter 7

Hiccup woke up with a headache, not a big headache but his head hurt. He open his eyes with blur. He closed them again and open them again. Now he could see clearly. He sat up from a bed he assumed.

He was in his room. Well not on Berk but on Drigen. And yes he was in a bed.

How did he get here? Weren't he on the other side of the mountain...? Mountain. Another village. The other part. Dragons. A night fury.

Another Night Fury. His head was full of questions.

How? How many is there? Just Toothless and the other night fury? What was its name? Shadow? So Toothless is not the only one. But where did they found him? Why didn't they tell me? Or any of us? Why keep it a secret? And what was it in that milk? All he can remember that he drank it and he fell down on the table and everything went black.

What is going on here?!

He ran his hand threw his hair when the bedroom door on his right open and Jane stuck her head in the room.

"Oh, good you're awake." She said with a smile and then she looked behind Hiccup. "Wake up Astrid and come down. We need to talk." Then she closed the door and left.

Hiccup looked at his left and saw Astrid lying next to him.

"Astrid, wake up." He shaked her till she woke up with a groan and slowly open her eyes.

"What? Hiccup, what is it?" Astrid rubbed her eye with her hand and slowly she sat up in the bed. "Where... was going on?"

"I don't know but Jane just came in and said that we need to go down and talk." Hiccup said and looked at Astrid. "Are you okay?" He took her hand and smiled weakly at her. She smiled back at him. "Yeah, I'm fine. But I want to know what in Thor's name is going on here."

"Well if we want some answers we better ask them." He stood up from the bed and Astrid followed him.

"Did we saw a night fury?" Astrid asked and Hiccup just nodded and the couple was out of the room, ready to get some answers.

When the couple was walking down the stairs they heard Valka and Jane talking and laughing.

"Look who's up." Valka said and looked at Hiccup and Astrid with a warm smile.

Now even more questions started to full in Hiccups and Astrid's heads.

Did they know each other? What happend yesterday? Why are Valka smiling? Didn't Jane just... poison us yesterday? What was it in that milk? Wait! How did they get to the house? Where's the dragons? Did they get poison too? Are the others okay? Why are they here? What to they want with us?

Is Valka working with them? Did Valka know about the dragons? No she couldn't! Why did Eret want us to come here? What do the Drigens want?!

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Hiccup yelled out before he could think twice about it.

The room felt silence. Everyone was looking at Hiccup, until Jane looked worried at Valka and Valka looked at Jane with a worried look too.

They looked at each other like they could speak, with out open their mouths.

Valka nodes and Jane nodes back, she took at deep breath and looked at Hiccup and said.

"I need to tell you something." Hiccup looked even more confused. "It's very important and I want to speak with you alone."

"Why?" Astrid asked.

"It's... it's something shoking, maybe, probably." Jane answered stepped forward to Hiccup.

Hiccup looked at Jane to Astrid and back to Jane.

"If you have something to say." He took Astrid's hand. "You can say it to both of us."

"No! Valka can tell Astrid but I want to tell you myself." Jane said quickly.

"No, you can say it to both of us!" Astrid said and stepped infront of Hiccup, so she now stood face to face with Jane.

"No. Valka will tell you everything and if she won't I will tell you after I have told it to Hiccup." Jane said while starred right in Astrid's blue eyes.

Astrid leaned forward and said between her teeth.

"I'm his wife and you will tell me whatever you have to tell him."

Jane, who started to get anoyed, said a cold:

"No."

Hiccup took Astrid arm and pulled her back, when she was about to say something to Jane.

"Astrid, it's okay, mum can tell you everything and if she don't I or Jane will tell you everything." Astrid looked at Hiccup like he was losing his mind.

"But I'm you wife! Why can't she just tell us right now to both of us at the same time?"

Hiccup had no answer to that, sure Jane could and should tell them both right now, but something told him to drag Jane out of here and leave Valka to tell Astrid everything.

Hiccup looked to Jane, who looked at him with a hope that he would come with her so she could tell him something.

He looked at Valka who had the same look as Jane.

Astrid who was annoying and soon to be very angry, saw that Hiccup had made up his mind. She relaxed a bit.

"Go."

"What?" Hiccup asked and let Astrid's arm go.

"You heard me, go, go and find out what Jane have to say. I stay here and maybe get to know from Valka."

This came like a surprise for Hiccup.

"Are you.." "Go." Astrid gave Hiccup a weak smile.

Jane took Hiccup arm, who still was surprised, and dragged him out from the house.

Hiccup didn't care that she dragged him through the village, into the woods until they were out from the woods and was walking on a field and they had a beautiful view over the ocean. They were on a cliff, with the ocean right down.

"Jane." Hiccup said. "What do you want to tell me?" She let Hiccup go and looked right in his face and told him right there right away.

"I'm your sister." Hiccup open his mouth over and over again like he would say something but nothing came out.

'Sister' was the only word in his head. Over and over again.

Jane turned around and started to walk forward.

"Wait!" Hiccup ran after her and turned her around so they stood face to face.

"You...you're my sister?" Hiccup whispered. Jane nodded and said:

"Yes, and I know that is a lot for you to take in and all, but..."

"You're my sister!"

Sister, sister Sister Sister. Sister. Sister! SISTER! S.I.S.T.E.R.

"Yes Hiccup, I am you're sister." She said with a smile.

"How? Are you older than me?" He asked quickly.

Jane laughed a little.

"Well our father and mother..."

Hiccup shaked his head. "Don't. Don't even..."

Jane laughed more and said:

"Fine! But.." "I was just a baby when mum was taken away from me and..." He looked down to the ground. "And dad."

Jane didn't noticed the sadness in his voice or in his face, she just contained to speek. with out looking at Hiccup.

"When Cloudjumper took mum, she was pregnant with me, well she didn't know that back then, but anyway she got me 9 month later and she wanted to get back but she couldn't." Jane stopped and looked back to Hiccup who looked sad. Janes' smile disappeared from her lips quickly.

"What is it Hiccup?"

"Nothing." Hiccup struggle and started to walk to the cliffs end.

"It is something Hiccup." She walked after him. "I may have just know you for 1 day or even less, but I know when you are sad and I know that it is something when you say it is nothing."

Hiccup stopped but he didn't turn around.

"You talked to mom didn't you?"

"Yes."

"What did she tell you?"

"She told me that you are married to Astrid, you are the chief of Berk, you have a night fury named Toothless."

"Did she tell you anything about dad?"

Jane thought for a moment.

"No, no she didn't. I didn't even ask her." she mumbled.

Hiccup turned around and said the words Jane didn't want to here.

"Our father is dead."

Dead. Our father is dead.

"No." You could barely hear Janes 'no' escape from her lips.

He can't be dead! She had never met him! She wanted to met him!

"How? Why? When?" she yelled. Hiccup didn't want to answer that question, he didn't want remember that night, that day. The day he found a parent and lost one.

"He... He was a killed by... well actually it wasn't him but he was.. controlled by another dragon. He didn't wanted to do it and it isn't his fault!"

Jane looked confused. "I don't really understand Hiccup."

"Right, sorry."

Jane walked to a big flat stone and sat on it. Hiccup sat beside her.

"Start over." She said.

"Okay, well after 20 years I found my mother and than it was a war and dad died."

Jane wanted the whole story.

"You said someone killed him because he was controlled by a dragon but it wasn't his fault?"

"Toothless, my dragon." "The alpha dragon" Jane said. "Yes the alpha dragon was controlled by another alpha dragon, before he was an alpha dragon, and Toothless wasn't strong enough to hold him back. Toothless was told to kill me, but dad pushed me out of the way and the fire killed him." Hiccup looked out to the blue ocean. They were silent for a while.

"So he died saving your life."

Hiccup nodded. Jane looked at him. And Hiccup still looked at the ocean.

"He saved your life twice from a dragon." Hiccup looked at her.

"He saved you first when you were a baby from Cloudjumper and twenty years later he died saving you from Toothless."

Hiccup became speechless.

"And you saved your whole tribe twice, first from a 300 years raid then from a ice spitting dragon that would probably freeze the whole village and kill everyone."

"Did mum tell you that?"

"Yes, she told me that you stopped the raids and saved and became a chief the same day, from ice spitting dragon. But she skipped the part that dad died."

Hiccup looked at Jane. "You have never met him, have you?" "No I haven't" "Do you know what he looked like?" "No, I don't"

Jane shakes her head.

"Okay lets talk about something else."

"How about your life?" Jane froze.

Her life?

"My life?" "Yeah, your life. You have heard mine, so tell me yours."

How would she start to tell him her life? Well the best way is to start at the beginning. Even if she doesn't really want to talk about it, he had right to know. He was her brother.

"Is a long story but I can tell you this."

They looked at each other.

"I love and hate my past."
