Three days has passed since Astrid turned, she was finding it hard. The constant breaking things, smashing things, throwing things across the room. She was used to saying sorry by the end of the day. What was worse was the constant throwing up, every time she consumed one drop of blood she would choke it up. She still didn't tell hiccup, she kept her distant, he looked proud of her, thinking she was doing well yet behind closed doors throwing up her guts. Astrid hated it, the secrets, the lies, the distance she put between them two. The only comfort she had was when she was punching or kicking something, letting out all her anger she had towards the bitch that killed her. She wanted her dead, fair is fair, ingrid killed her, so she wanted to return the favor.

Valka too agree with Astrid. " she is dangerous" was the only words Val had to say about ingrid, while Astrid had a few others. The plan was to kill ingrid as soon as possible but since they had no weapons against the original, it took longer than they thought, until valka had an idea, she had Stoick, Astrid, hiccup and gobber were in the back gardens catching up, talking when valka got the idea.

" Oh my god" she said. Her sudden outburst cause the others to react.

" What? Have I spilled coffee on myself again" said gobber as he started to pat himself down.

" No, I was just thinking that maybe we don't need a white oak steak to kill ingrid." Val started before hiccup interrupted.

" Yeah but mom, ingrid is an original, so yes we do need a white oak steak."

" No, we don't. I made the spell 1000 years ago with doppelgänger blood. Well we have doppelgänger blood right here, an endless supply. With a bit of magic from the witch that created the spell and the doppelgänger blood we will have our weapon." Proud valka said while taking a bit long gulp of her drink.

" You know if I hear the word doppelgänger one more time I'm going to have to learn how to spell it." Gobber said while taking a bite out of his sandwich.

Stoick stared at his friend bewildered and the turned his focus on his wife. "You think you can do that?"

" Well yes, with Astrids help of course " motioning towards Astrid.

" Hey, anyway I can help at killing that bitch I'm in, take what you need"

" oh I won't need much, just a pinch"

And that's how it started as soon as the weapon was made it was now time for a plan.

" Okay, so this is ingrid, she was smart and cunning when she was human so now even more so. We will have to think of a twist something to catch her off guard" Stoick announced, that's when Astrid piped in.

" Me!"

hiccups head spun faster than getting whiplash on a rollercoster. " what?"

" Me!" She repeated. " she killed me, she thinks I'm dead. So in her head if anyone what's to kill her it would be you hiccup. Use that against her, use me as the secret weapon. I have the skills of a hunter and the strength and speed of a vampire, let me do this"

So it was decided, they would kill ingrid tonight. But when they found where she was staying and headed off to kill the bitch, they where more frightened than ever. No one knew her fully, her strengths, her weaknesses, they were metaphorically going in blind.

The ride there was quite, awarded some might say, since Astrid had been avoiding hiccup it brought tension between them all. But tuff being tuff had to break the tension with no way other than being his stupid self.

" Soooooo Astrid? How you finding vampirism. Being a badass killing machine" Astrid just stared at him, what the hell?

" err I guess I'm getting their"

" and I'm guessing hiccup is a great help too" this caught the everyone's attention including hiccups embarrassed face.

" Oh yeah, hiccups great. Really helping me get through it all"

but tuff still had to push more. " yeah I bet he is, you know though he would be a bigger help if you guys talked" and with that everyone sighed, well done tuff.

" Hey Stoick how long?" Cami shouted to Stoick.

" Actually we are here"

They all walked in, spilt up into six groups, however hiccup had ideas to go off on his own to the other side of the factory, and astrid followed him.

" Hey hiccup, hey?" Nothing.

" Hiccup? Are you seriously that mad at me that you will not talk to me?" He stop dead in his tracks, slowly turned around to look her in the eyes.

" I don't believe it, your blaming me for not talking? All you've done of the past few days in not talk to me, your hiding something and I know it. So don't you dare accuse me for not talking". He turned back around and continued to carry on walking. Leaving astrid running behind him.

" Okay fine, I've been keeping to myself" he scoffed, she then stopped him in his track to talk to him more seriously. " seriously, look I've been mad, mad towards ingrid, for dying. And I've just been keeping to myself, I didn't want to say something out of term in front of you, say something I didn't mean. Look I'm sorry, I'm best staying to myself when I'm mad." He looked at her for awhile before his face softened. " okay, I'm sorry too." He went to lean in but suddenly gasped in pain as his whole body started to desiccate and fall to the ground, astrid saw a stake in the bad of his back, just a normal one, luckily. She pulled in out, he should be fine.

Then she heared it,the laugh, her laugh. Suddenly this all looked familiar like in her dream. She rummaged through hiccups jacket till she found the special stake dripped in her blood, she pulled it out ready to defend herself.

" I know your there" she heard it again, the laugh. It was her, for definite.

she started to run, finding a place away from hiccup. She saw some big double door and went to go throught them, as the opened them she was thrusted back by someone, by ingrid holding her by the neck pushing hard to it was hard to breath.

" Hello my shadow self"

xx

" I really though I'd killed you" pushing harder.

" Well it looks like I'm one of those people, you know, the ones that a real pain up your ass" she sarcastically said, making Ingrid have a wicked smirk on her face.

" Well what am I going to do with you?" She suddenly pushed her other hand deep with in astrid chest causing astrid to gasp in could feel her touching her heart.

" I could pull this thing right out, but whereas the fun in that" she pulled her hand back out, all red and bloodly, letting astrid's wound heal. She dropped Astrid to the ground leaving her to grasp for breath.

" Has it started yet?" Ingrid asked. She got no reply.

" Come on astrid, it's a simple question, has it started yet? The constant throwing up, the gut wrenching feeling, the feeling of hunger like you haven't eaten in days"

astrids eyes narrowed, how did she know.

" How?"

" How what?, how I know, well isn't it obvious, it's a doppelgänger thing, since it's happening to me. You see after I killed you I went abroad, all around the world, looking for other doppelgängers -" she was suddenly interrupted by astrid's annoying questions.

" There are others like you and me?"

" Of course honey, there is a thousand years between me and you, don't you think the hofferson line popped out a few doppelgängers here and there. And of course a few of them would get involved in vamp buissness, I mean we were supernatural to start off with, so somewhere in between vamps were not far behind. So yeah I went looking for others but a few days into my little trip, my body started to reject any type of living blood source I consumed. So I lay off the doppelgänger search and went to find what was wrong with me-" yet again she was interrupted by astrid.

" And?"

" And nothing. The closes I got was a name, that was a dead end. ovidius umbra puellae, what ever that means, I can't even pronounce it."

" That's a name?" Astrid questioned her shadow self.

" Apparently , come on little girl, what is it? French? German?" She questioned.

" I don't know?"

" Well your hopeless." She strutted off not far from where astrid sat. While astrid gathered her strength she had left and held the stake more firm ready for anything.

" If your going to kill me astrid just do it already, I'm dying anyway." She stood up and with any strength she could find she whizzed over to ingrid only to be throw back agains the wall. Of course she was stronger , she was an original.

" wow you really hate me ."

" of course I hate you, you killed me" astrid spat whizzing back over to ingrid, only this time she didn't fight, she let astrid jump on top of her and hold the stake close to her heart.

" Kill me astrid put me out of my misery" astrid pulled her hand back the shoved the stake into her chest, ingrid slowly started to go grey, but before the bitch was dead, she said her last words.

" have a nice life astrid, the weeks you have left"

xx

She was dead, she was dead. She did it. She heard feet coming up behind her, they dragged along the floor slowly then soon enough they halted right behind her.

" You killed her Astrid." Hiccups voice spoke from behind her. It wasn't like a question it was like a statement. She turn her head to a bewildered hiccup " I guess I just caught her off guard" his face started to smirk as he moved closer to her cupping her face in his soft gentle hands and bringing it to his face " you" kiss " are" kiss " impossible " kiss " and amazing". She grinned at him, staring into his emerald green eyes, admiring every little detail on his face. At least he wasn't mad any more.

They heard voices from behind, it was Stoick, gobber, cami, and the gang.

" By Thor, hiccup ye killed er" gobber stated.

" Actually it was astrid" hiccup beamed as he placed one arm around astrid's shoulders.

" What? Your tell us that you three day old vamp girlfriend, killed an original?" Snotlout questioned. Astrid could tell that he didn't believe him, but half of it was true, she did kill ingrid, it was just she sorta let her.

" Yep"

" told you she would be a bad ass" tuff shouted from the back while high fiveing ruffnut.

stoick kept looking at the body, then back at Astrid, he knew something wasn't right. " however did you kill her?"

astrids jaw tensed " I Err I guess, I just caught her off guard"

" well seeing ye alive would do that to er, I mean she did kill ye" gobber said while taking a closer look at the body.

" Yeah, I guess" Stoick still didn't think this was right, but let it go, the problem was dead all they had to do was now get rid of the evidence.

" Right, snotlout, fishlegs take the body burn it we can't have any dark magic witches resurrecting her, no body, no resurrection." Stoick ordered.

" Right them witches and their voodoo" tuff said.

" Witches don't do voodoo" ruff argued.

" Err yes they do"

" Err no they don't"

" do"

" don't"

" do"

" don't "

and that's when the hitting began, and since they were both vampires it ended with the building coming down literally.

" Tuffnut, ruffnut what have I told you" Stoick shouted. " luckily we all got out now can you guys promise not to rip off each others head before we get home"

" yes sir"

" good"

xx

once home cami thought it would be good to pull aside Stoick and gobber.

" Cami, what do you want now? I would like to spend some time with my not dead wife" Stoick complained.

" Something's wrong"

" like what? " asked gobber.

" Like the situation that's just unraveled in front of us" she answered.

" Like what?" He repeated.

" Like astrid taking down an original, I mean snotlouts right, and don't tell him I said that, but she is three days old and all of a sudden she is taking down an original. Now I know ingrid was in a box for over thousand years but still ingrid was smart and cunning even when she was human, so how did astrid take her down?" The two men looked at each other, then back to their old friend.

" I have thought about it, but it doesn't matter she is dead now problem solved" Stoick answered as the two men went to walk away, but cami pushed them back and with a loud groan they stood there to listen.

" The problem is not solved, because I think we might have just got rid of an ingrid problem and awaken an astrid problem"

Stoicks eyes narrowed as soon as she finished " okay now you have lost me"

" oh come one, tell me you have noticed." She said.

" Noticed what?" Gobber questioned.

" Noticed that astrid is looking greyer every day, I mean I haven't seen her eat."

" Well maybe she is just finding it hard, she was a hunter." Stoick mentioned, while sounding a bit impatient.

" Fine then, yesterday she was finding it hard to lift one of the punching bags up, I had to help her. I told her that she was new and was putting to much stress on her muscles, and now she is killing originals, seeing the problem yet?"

" Maybe she just had adrenaline" mentioned gobber getting impatient too.

" No, look astrid is hiding something I can tell. Today her killing ingrid just wasn't right, she couldn't have killed ingrid without ingrid letting her"

" so now your implying Ingrid let astrid kill her?" Stoick asked, trying to make sense of what he can.

" Yes" she replied in confidence.

" Look kid, Ingrid was a crazy and manipulative. She wouldn't let her younger shadow self kill her" gobber told her.

" Maybe, if she was dying."

The men looked at each other once again then back to cami. " look I know it sounds insane but astrid and Ingrid have been awake as vampires for around the same amount of time, what if whatever is happening to astrid was happening to Ingrid."

" What are you saying exactly?" Asked Stoick.

" Im saying I think astrid is dying and so was Ingrid, maybe Ingrid let astrid kill her, put herself out of misery." Stoick took a glance at gobber, maybe cami was right, her hunches in the past have never been wrong.

" Okay cami. I believe you, but let's keep this between us three the last thing we need is hiccups going out of his mind. I'll keep a close eye on astrid."

" Okay chief."

Hiccup walked up the stairs slowly, dragging each foot along. He was exhausted and couldn't wait to get to bed. As he opened the door, there on his bed sat astrid, she looked as tired as he did. She was sat reading some kind of book, but that's not what confused him,it was the fact that she was here. In his room. As soon as she saw him she closed the book and placed down on his bed side table, she climbed of the bed and walked closer to him only to stop not that far away when she could see the confusion in his face.

" Hey what's wrong?"

He took a while to answer, mainly because he didn't know what to say. " oh, I just, I didn't realise, what are you doing here?"

At first she was taken back by the question, but she answered calmly as possible. " I thought I was sleeping here from now on. You said the other night didn't you, that I could move into this room."

" yes but that was before you turned into a vampire and ignored me for the past few days."

She let out a sign and placed her hand onto his cheek. " I thought we sorted this out, that I was just bottling up anger, and that I'm so so so sorry." He smiled while leaning into her touch.

" I know, and I forgive you" she started to smile but soon enough it turned into a devilish smirk.

" Well there must be some way I can make it up to you" her hand slowly stroking down his jaw, then his neck, to his Ollie bone, and finally down his chest halting her hand just over his heart. His sheepish smile turned into a nervousness laugh. Gods he loved this woman.

" Well, what do you have in mind milady?"

She took her hand off his chest and it followed her other hand to the bottom of her top, as she lift it over her head she returned both of her hands to the collar of his jacket and dragged him onto the bed, both of them falling into utter bliss.

xx

Warm. Warm and hot. Warm and hot and safe and loved. That's what she felt. But yet that felling soon evaporated when that gut wrenching feeling was back, she slipped out of hiccups arms and whizzed over to the bathroom. She got there just in time before she threw up her B+ blood bag she had before into the toilet. She heard a crack from the door and she turn her head around, only yo see hiccups face in shock and horror. She quickly rubbed off the blood that lingered around her mouth and her eyes fell to the ground ,she could look at him, probably he was mad and angry.

" what in hell is happening to you?
