A/N Okay, Im going to time jump, about a week. Unless everyone wants to read Hali sleep and Hiccup watch her for two chapters. :D

One week later

Hali POV

I swing the blade through the air and it makes a shing as it slices through nothing.

My arm doesn't sting as badly as it has. I had finally managed to drop all the healers, gaurds, Hiccup and my parents. Hiccup had been harder to pry off, but after lyhguoroht being angry for keeping Toothless a secret I finally managed to convince him to visit the dragon before he blew up the cove in search of his rider.

I swing the sword back and forth several times before it clangs against another piece of metal. My eyes widen in surprise and I follow the axe blade to Astrid.

"You have little skill." Astrid says and I purse my lips trying yo calm my racing heart.

I pull the sword away from her axe and set the sword on the desk. "Thanks." I mutter sarcastically and she smirks.

"So, what is a fair, injured princess such as yourself doing in the armory?" Astrid asks and I bite my lip.

"Nothing. I was just, looking for-" I start and Astrid sets a quiver of arrows and a bow in my hands.

"That?" Astrid asks and I look up at her in surprise.

"...Yeah." I answer, "How did you know?" I ask. She smirks again, spinning her axe in her hand.

"Hiccup likes to brag. He was telling us all about how his sister is the best archer in the land." Astrid says and I swing the quiver over my shoulder.

"Hiccup doesn't brag." I say and she smiles.

"Keep telling yourself that." Astrid says and swings her axe forward. I dive to the side instinctively kicking the sword into my hand.

I meet Astrid's axe and her eyes narrow, "What are you doing?" I demand lifting up my sword to dodge her blows.

"Seeing how good you actually are, watch your feet." Astrid commands and I push back against her blade shifting my feet. "Watch your hands to." Astrid says before she jerks her weapon up and with one swift movement the sword is thrown from my hands landing in the wall next to moms stormy face.

I freeze in shock and Astrid turns slowly her eyes widening with small horror. "What. Are. You. Doing!?" Mom screeches storming forward.

"Mom! Astrid was just showing me some sword tips." I say shoving the girl towards the door, "Thanks for that!" I say and she looks back at me expression clearly saying 'Why are you taking all the blame?'

I wave my hands forward not bothering to answer as mom storms up to me. "Halide Hildegard Haddock!" Mom yells and I flinch. My full name, my middle name and the last name, I am in an excessive amount of trouble, "Of the kingdom of Sanctuary!" Mom finishes. I should go find a deep hole to hide in.

"Mom, I'm fine." I assure and she storms up to me ripping the bow from off my back. I give a grunt of pain and she slams the wood down.

"You are not going to be a shield madien. Stop playing with weapons." She commands and I narrow my eyes giving her a stormy expression. Mom returns it before she tosses the bow to the side, "You are a princess, I expect you to act like one." She growls and I take a step back in shock.

Mom glares at me and I take in a shaky breath before I race past her bursting out of the armory, into the thick fog. I am not my skin. Why does everyone assume I am?

...

Hiccup POV

I hate mist, fog, rain and just all the weather of today.

This much has been confirmed as I've wandered through the woods for hours on end. I swear I'm going in endless circles.

I let out an annoyed breath and shove the sack of fish over my shoulder more trudging forward. Deciding I have two options: I can whip around in stomp back through the woods and become hopelessly lost, or I can just try and navigate to Toothless.

He's probably at the point of tracking me down himself. I haven't seen him in a little over two weeks release a slow breath before I walk forward. Hopefully there wont be ravine or something I fall into.

I've taken barely two steps before something smacks me square in the chest. I fly backwards and hit the ground with an oof. The sack of fish on my shoulder spils out all over the forest floor and I whip my head up and scan through the mist as Snotlout and Kent walk forward.

"What! What is wrong with you two?" I ask and Snotlout smirks looking down at me.

"It's what's wrong with you." Snotlout responds and I blink, sitting up. Me? Im not the one tracking someone else down and beating them up.

"Seriously, you're turning eighteen in what, four, five days and Stoick has yet to give you the right as heir. I am going to be the next king." Kent says lifting up his chest with heavy pride.

Snotlout nods smirking and grabs the front of my shirt and pulls me to my feet, "There's at idiot at the end of my arm." Snotlout says and I raise an eyebrow.

"Which end?"

Snotlout's fist makes contact with my face a few seconds later and I pull away from him gripping my now bleeding nose, and broken lip. Kent smirks and grabs my bangs forcing me to look up at him. "Imagine this: We're just helping the island out, no one really wants a scrawny useless teen as king anyway." Kent says and I wipe the blood on my sleeve.

"So watcha gonna do about it?" I ask and Kent grabs my arm pulling me to my feet.

"Something. We found the perfect place for you little prince." Kent says and shoves me forward. I let out an annoyed breath rubbing my fingers against my temples trying to clear out the pounding headache.

The fog is even thicker here and I glance back at Snotlout and Kent, whatever dark place they could come up with will not be good, I'd have better luck surviving the wrath of Astrid.

I turn right and break into a run trying to get away from the two before one of their arms grabs my shoulder and shoves me to the ground. My head hits a root or something and I see stars briefly before Kent grabs my forearm and drags me a little.

"This is it." Snotlout reports. Kent kicks my side and I flinch.

"Get up." He growls. I force myself to comply getting to my feet and grapping my head as my vision swirls. Kent shoves me towards something and I feel my feet reach the end of a cliff. No way. Are they seriously going to do this! I manage to regain my balance before Kent walks forward and gives me a push.

A/N Ugh. I hate Kent and Snotlout, as will Toothless in a few seconds. :)
