Things are going to start getting a little darker after this chapter, but nothing too bad. I think you all will like where I go with it. Thank you for reading and please review.

Hiccup pov

"What?" I asked her. I wasn't sure if I had actually heard what I had. I could've sworn she said she loved me.

She sighed, "I love you, I've loved you for a very long time..." She looked away, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

I turned her had back to look at me again, "(y/n), I've been feeling the same way..." I smiled, not knowing what else to say, "I... Uh..."

"Really?"

I nodded, "Yeah."

Suddenly I felt her arms around me. She hugged me close, "Hiccup, I-"

I hugged her back and, she looked up at me, her eyes were wet, like she was crying a little, but she was smiling.

I wasn't exactly sure which one of us had initiated it, but the next thing I noticed was our lips lightly touching. Hers were soft despite the coldness. She wrapped her arms around me as mine went around her waist. Our lips touched again, but this time with more force in it. I moved a hand up to lightly touch her hair and we parted. Our faces were both visibly red. Toothless stuck his head through the window, and Cedrych made a noise from where he was on the floor. (Y/n) quickly stood up still blushing. "Well uh... So are we...?"

"I guess so," I nodded and smiled.

"Well, then I'll get myself to be now too." She looked at me, then leaned an quickly kissed me on the cheek, "Goodnight, Hiccup," she said and she headed to the small room that my dad had let her have.

I smiled, "Goodnight, (y/n)." I laid on my back and Toothless climbed in. I reached my arm up and pet his snout. "That just happened, Bud." He made a small noise and looked at me with his dragon-type smile.

I could stop blushing as much as I tried, I just couldn't stop thinking about what had happened. Hiccup shared my feelings!

I finally fell asleep, but I not for long. I was awoken by a nightmare. It was nothing but darkness, and a voice, calling me, only it wasn't a dream.

I sat up looking down at Cedrych. "Thank the gods it was just a dream..." Then I heard it again, that voice. I had to find it.

I grabbed my satchel, and Cedrych hopped inside. I snuck out of the house as quietly as possible without waking anyone. I ran outside and got out of the village without anyone seeing me, at least that I noticed.

The further I went into the forest, the louder the voice became. It called my name until I heard it right behind me.

Before I knew it there was a hand over my mouth and an arm around my waist.

I gasped, struggled, and tried to scream, but my noises were muffled by the hand. A female voice whispered in my ear, "Hush, hush, (y/n), it's me."

She let me go and I turned around. The young woman removed her cloak to review a familiar face.

My eyes widened, "Nerys?!"

She nodded. Nerys was my cousin, the only child of my father's sister. She was older than me by a year. We had been pretty close a children, until her mother, my aunt, died and her father took her to wander on their own.

I smiled widely an hugged her, "What happened?! What are you doing here?!"

She brushed the hair out of her face, "Well, my dad left me to travel with this group of witches known just as The Sisters. We were traveling and I saw you here, I saw that you're with those Vikings, and I knew I had to do something." She grabbed my face, "Did they hurt you?! What horrible things have they done?!"

I pushed her off, "Nothing! My parents sent me here three years ago!"

"You've been forced to marry one of them! It's worse than I thought!" She took my hand and tried to pull me, "We'll save you, come with us, and you'll never have to be part of that savage tribe again!"

"No!" I pulled my hand away, "They're not savages, and they're not what you think they are!" I paused, "Hiccup got me out of the forced marraige, he's been so kind and such a good friend to me! I'm happy there!"

Nerys sighed and looked at me, "So, you're one of them?"

"Sort of, I still practice witchcraft, and they're actually pretty peaceful."

She hugged me, "I've missed you."

"I missed you too." Then I got an idea, "You should come with me!"

"What?!"

"Come to the village, meet Hiccup and the others, they would love to have you there!"

My cousin shook her head, "I can't, I'm part of The Sisters now." She smiled and took my hands in hers, "But please, will you meet me here tomorrow night at this time? I want you to meet them!"

I thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Alright," I agreed.

"Make sure you're alone, they won't take kindly to anyone else."

We both nodded and parted ways. Cedrych poked his head out of my satchel. "It's Nerys, it'll be fine, none of them have to know."
