Another Haddock Girl Chapter 12

When blue eyes open, owner of Jane Haddock was Octavia's smiling face the first thing the blue eyes saw.

"Happy birthday Jane!" Was the first thing Jane heard.

"It may be your birthday but you still have work to do." Martha said who sat next to Octavia. Martha had moved in, in the sleeping quarters for the staff after her husband left her and took the house and threw her on the streets.

"Come on! You don't want the animals and the royals to wait?" Octavia said and walked out from the room. Martha looked after her until she turned back to Jane. "Come on." Martha stood up and she also started to walk out from the sleeping quarters, but when she came to the doorstep she turned around and said "Happy birthday Jane" and continued to walk.

With a yawn and a smile Jane took her black shoes from the floor and put them on her feet. The walk from the sleeping quarters to the kitchen was not as long walk as it was six years ago. And the mornings came naturally to her. But today was a special day. She and Octavia had the day off after dinner. They didn't have so much work to do today. Feed the animals, give the king and queen their breakfast, help with the laundry and the garden, peel potatoes and carrots and clean the stables. And if she was lucky she would go the village with Viola to get a dress for the queen. The village, she had not been their since she was taken from the slave trade. And that was six years ago. The castle and its grounds was the only thing she had been too. She had only seen the village from the windows.

When she just turned around the corner of the open door into the kitchen she walked right into Octavia, who had her hands behind her back. "There you are, I have something for you." She held out a brown packet.

Jane had giving Octavia a present when her birthday was a month ago, nothing special just a ribbon the queen was about throw it away, but it became a waste when Octavia cut her hair to the shoulders a week after. And now when Jane thought about it, Octavia was right now wearing the dark purple ribbon as a diadem.

"You didn't need to." Jane started. "You came me this ribbon on my birthday" she pointed on the ribbon that was in her hair. "so I'm giving you something on your birthday." She said and almost pushed the gift in her hands.

Jane didn't though it would come to this. They hadn't giving each other present until Jane gave Octavia the ribbon because they didn't own anything. Just the blue dress, underwear and black shoes. And if they are lucky they could get a ribbon if the queen threw a ribbon away. Jane didn't have one, which wasn't a problem a first because her hair wasn't even to the shoulders but now her hair was over her shoulder blades and would soon be down her waist, in a year or two. She liked her hair long, even if it became difficult to work sometimes and all she wanted to do was to cut it all off. But she haven't and she wouldn't.

She could have taken the dark purple ribbon for herself but Octavia had longer hair back then (over her waist) and she needed it more than her.

Jane sighed and took the gift and started to tear the paper apart until she held a black brush in her hands.

"I though that you have long hair you'll need it more than a do and-"

"Where did you found this?" Jane asked and looked from the brush to Octavia.

"I-I found it in the queen's private quarters." Octavia said quit while Jane was about say something. "BUT she has many, many brushes I took this one that was way in the drawer and she won't miss it!" Octavia said quickly before Jane could say something.

That was true. Queen Malvina has many brushes, all in different shapes and almost all of them were black. She wouldn't miss one, or would she?

"She won't come in here and look for it, she never comes in the kitchen or the sleeping quarters." That was almost true. Viola was the only one Malvina trusted of the staff. She was the maid for the queen so she needed to trust her. And she probably do because she choose Viola.

Jane sighed and looked at the brush. It wasn't anything special, just black, but it was the only brush she had seen since she was three, so she didn't have anything to compare it with. Jane had seen the other brushes that the queen had but only for a few seconds but this black brush which she held in her hand was the first time she held one of the queens brushes.

"Come on! Brush your hair! You need it, your hair looks like a birds nest." Octavia said and giggled a little.

It was true Jane's hair looked like a birds nest after only brush her hair with her fingers for six years.

The brush felt nice against her scalp, but it hurt when she tried to comp it down to the tips.

"Here." Octavia took the brush from Jane's hand and turned her around. "Let me brush your hair."

Every time Octavia tried to go threw from the ruts to the tips Jane yelped and Octavia apologized.

When the hair was finally untangled the brush was full of Janes brown hair (but she still had a lot of hair on her head) and her scalp didn't feel nice anymore.

Octavia looked from the hairy brush to Jane.

"Are you okay?" She asked while Jane massages her scalp and hooded her head.

"Come on we have animals and royals to feed." With that Jane went back to the sleeping quarters and threw the brush on her bed and went back up to feed the animals and the royals.

It started to rain when Jane and Octavia walked back to the castle with a basket of dry laundry in each hands. They ran through the garden and into the castle with wet clothes, hair and laundry. They walked slowly down the stone stair and went into the kitchen where Frida took Jane's basket and Emily took Octavia's.

"Stupid rain," Frida muttered when Jane walked past her to peel the carrots and potatoes for lunch. "Let's hope it stop before dinner so we can get the laundry out to dry." Octavia heard Emily say before she joined Jane to prepare the lunch.

Smashed potatoes and fish with carrots on the side was a pretty good lunch, it wasn't much on the plate, but it was something and it was good. And the rain had finally stopped when Viola looked out the window.

"Jane do you wanna come with me to the village to pick up princess Penelope's dress?" Viola turned from the window and looked at Jane while she asked her. Jane dried her hands with the towel that Frida took from her hands after she was done and threw that in a basket with dirty towels.

Jane looked up to Viola with a small smile and said yes.

"Good I'll get basket, we'll also gonna stop at the market to get strawberries. The Princess also want strawberries for dessert today."

Penelope had be giving the title Princess after living here for three years and it had become official that she would marry Nick in the future. They weren't engaged, yet but she wanted to be called princess if she would stay in these castle walls being Nick's future wife.

The village was big. With houses with wide streets, some were smaller and the houses was tighter together. In some places the houses had a very small street between them were only one person at time could go through.

They first stopped at market, which was closer from the castle then the dress shop. When they walked past the stands with food, jewelry and stands which sold other stuff, the air smelled like the kitchen, except the smell of ashes and fire and dirty dishes. Fish, meat and chicken lingered in the air and when the smell of pie came to Jane's nose her mouth started to water.

Pie was something the staff eat if it became leftovers from the royals dinner, which wasn't often because the king ate like a pig, it's a wonder that man could sit in the dinner chair.

"Ah, here we are." Viola said and started to walk to a stand with strawberries, blueberries and something Jane had never seen before. Jane, who held Viola's hand, stood beside Viola and just looked at these….barriers, were they even barriers?

"Those are called raspberries, they are rare to find so they are kinda expensive." Viola said while the lady on the other side of the stand started to grab strawberries and roll them into paper. Jane looked up to the lady. She looked old, with grey hair which you could see was brown once and her blue eyes was warm and she had a smile on her face while she looked at Jane.

"You never tried raspberries before?" She asked and Jane just shaked her head. "No, I have not. I have never seen them before." Jane said and looked at the lady and gave her a smile, just to be polite.

The lady smiled back and took a raspberry in her hand and gestured to Jane to take it.

"Take it, it's on the house." She said.

"No, no you don't need to, I can pay." Viola was fast in front of the woman instead of Jane and shaked her head and tried to put the hand away from Jane.

"But I insist, and I will not go down from it." The lady said nice but firmly and walked around the stand to give Jane the raspberry. Jane hesitated at first and looked between the raspberry and the lady. She also glanced at Viola who gave her a small smile.

She slowly took the raspberry from the lady's hand and looked at it. Its pink/red color was pretty to Jane, it looked delicious.

"Come on eat it." The lady said and smiled at Jane. Jane eat it and it was… sweet and good, Jane wanted more and was about to ask for more until she stopped herself. It maybe would be rude? She didn't pay for that raspberry and Viola didn't either.

"It was good wasn't it?" The lady asked and Jane nodded her head.

"I should really pay for it." Viola almost begged. The lady just put her hands up to stop her and said calmly. "You shouldn't pay for one raspberry, from my stand, that I offered her and as I said I will not go down from my affor and don't try convince me to let go of my affor." She then walked back behind her stand and Viola took Jane's hand and said thank you to the lady at the stand and they were off to the dress shop.

The dress wasn't made of a deadly nadder, it was made of terrible terrors, which made Jane feel anger and sadness. How many terrible terrors was killed to make a full length dress with long sleeves? Jane felt ill just to think of skinning dragons (hopefully not alive), but it felt wrong to skin dragons when they were dead.

The dress was mostly green and was purple on the ends of the sleeves. If it wasn't made of dragons, Jane would have said it was pretty.

"I think we need to run back to the castle if we don't want to ruin the dress." Viola said when they just stepped out from the dress shop. "It looks like it will rain soon. Come on." Viola took Jane's hand and together they headed back to the castle before the rain started.

"Octavia!"

"Octavia!"

Jane almost shouted Octavia's name before she shut her mouth and remembered that she wasn't allowed to shout in the castle corridors. Especially not in a corridor she wasn't allowed to be in. She had never been this far into the castle and she didn't like it. It was darker here then the other corridor's in the castle. It had light here, but it didn't have so many torches and they were far apart and there were no windows.

Jane slowly walked forward while looking around her for Octavia.

Octavia had told her that she had found the room where the king had his money and gold while Jane was in the village with Viola. Jane didn't believe her at first and Octavia had promised her to show her and she had ran off while Jane followed her and now she had lost her between the turns of the corridors.

Two doors where on each side of the corridor walls and all Jane had to do now was to make a choice. Either she has to check if Octavia was in on of the rooms or she would keep going down the corridor and take the right turn and hope she would find Octavia without go into rooms she wasn't allowed to go into. But if she wanted to see the king's money and gold she has to go into a room she isn't allowed to go into. She's gonna break the rules either way, she is breaking rules right now just to being in this corridor.

Jane looked at the first door to her left. She could just open and look if she was there, she didn't need to walk threw the whole room.

With a hesitant hand she grabbed the handle and pushed it down and the door opened with a crack. Jane quickly took her hand away from the handle with a gasp.

What if she get cough? She would be in trouble. Big trouble. But what if Octavia was in here? But wouldn't she open a door or stood waiting for her if she was in of one of these rooms?

Jane took a step back when the door made another crack sound when it got open even more, but it wasn't who pushed it open. It was Nick.

Nick stood there with a confusing face. The 15 year old boy had grown, he was at least a head taller than Jane (probably even taller) and his hair was to his shoulders, his rich clothes was in dark green, gold and brown and he had a knife attach to his brown belt.

"Jane?"

Jane went out from her shock when Nick said her name. Her mouth open and closed a few times to find the right words but nothing came out.

Nick looked at her until his eyes winded and looked to the right, the way Jane came from and he grabbed Jane's arm and dragged her into the room and closed the door.

Jane didn't understand what just happened, she stood frozen looking at Nick for a minute until she almost yelled. "What are you doing?" Nick quickly put his hand over her mouth and Jane's eyes winded.

"Could you be quiet? They will found us if you keep yelling." He whispered and let of Jane and put his ear to the door to listen if someone was on the other side.

"Do you mean the king or the queen will found us? Or someone else like your dragon killer girlfriend?" Jane said in anger and frustration.

Nick turned to her and raised his eyebrows. "Five years of not one word and the first thing you say is a compliment about my future wife?"

Now it was Jane's eyes who went wide. "What do you mean 'a compliment'? Is being a dragon killer a good thing? Killing innocent animals is not something to be proud of!" Jane was yelling again. But she didn't care if someone found them. Killing dragons was nothing to be proud of, dragons is animals who are misunderstood only because they have claws and sharp teeth and can breath fire, but no one misunderstands dog or cats or animals who has claws and sharp teeth. Sure they don't breath fire, but they could kill you if you treat them wrong, but if you treat them right they would never hurt you! Dragons are the same thing! Treat them right and they will not hurt you!

"Have you been living in this castle at all?" Nick asked with a bit of anger.

"Of course I have! And I know she order dresses made of dragons. I have seen them, I even went with Viola today to get her terrible terror dress. And the furniture with dragon bones and your blankets of dragon skin, I've seen it all and I'm getting tired of all this murder and skinning. Dragon's are wonderful creatures! Is not right or fair to kill them, maybe if they are sick or they suffer because seeing a dragon suffer is heartbreaking and knowing that a dragon get skinned and its bones are made as furniture and clothes feels wrong! Way can't people see that dragons will not hurt you if you don't hurt them!" Jane was now frustrated and angry. Her breath was uneven and her face was red. "I just want to leave this castle and never see it again!" Jane screamed and Nick put his hand over her mouth for the third time.

With wide eyes Jane heard men's voices on the other side of the door and before the door went open Nick dragged Jane behind a bookshelf, Jane haven't notice will she had stood yelling at Nick. She didn't even know what room this was.

Two men walked into the room. They looked like regular men, like those in the village. They only took a few steps in before a voice shouted down the hall. "WE FOUND THE GOLD!" The men ran out from the room and didn't even close the door after them.

Jane let out a breath she didn't even know she held, she barely notice when Nick had taking away his hand away from her mouth. "Okay we need to run fast and quiet." He said and looked at Nick. Jane looked back with a confused face.

"What's going on? Who were they? Why do they need to find the gold? How did they found the gold? And why are they in the castle? How did they come in to the castle? Why are we hidden and where are we? What room is this?" Jane asked fast while Nick tried to catch every question and answered them.

"The villagers is attacking the castle because they hate the king and those men are from the village and they need to find the gold because they are going to take over the castle and that's why they are in the castle, they took out the guards and just came running in with force and we're in the small library and we are getting out of here." Nick said and was about to walk to the door but was stopped by Jane who had grabbed his arm.

"Get out how? And why are the villagers taking over the castle?" Jane said and was getting more and more confusing.

"The villagers is sick of the king and we better keep going before someone finds us." Nick walked to door and looked to right to left and then right again. Jane walked to stand beside Nick and looked the way Nick was looking. A scream was heard and Jane jumped in surprise. Then a yell came followed with big crash of glass.

"We need to take another way out." Nick said and walked into the library and looked around.

"Can't we take the other way?" Jane asked and looked at opposite way the crash came from.

"That will only lead us to a tower with no way out." With that he grabbed a chair and lifted it over his head and threw it through the big window behind a desk. The glass went everything and Jane jumped backwards in shock. "What are you doing?!" She yelled.

"This is the only way out without being seen." Nick said and looked out from the broken window.

"And jumping out from a window from the second floor which by the way is like a third floor, is the solution to this? We will break our legs from the fall." Jane said fast and stood frozen in place. This was crazy.

"There is a balcony just underneath us, we can hang from the windowsill so we get closer to the floor and the fall won't be so far from the ground." Nick went back into the room and took a dragon skinned blanket from a chair and kicked the remained glass that still was attached to the windowsill before he placed the blanket on the windowsill.

"Now we will not get hurt from the glass." He turned to Jane and offered her his hand. "Come on we gotta go before someone sees us." Jane still stood frozen and looking at Nick. She was confused and scared.

"Jane! We need to go!"

With small steps she walked to bedside Nick and looked down from the window to the balcony. It didn't look like it was far down. "You're not gonna break you legs maybe, but I will. I'm shorter than you so the ground is farther down for me then…" Jane didn't notice Nick when he hang from the window with a hard grip on the windowsill and blanket. And before he let go he said. "I'll catch you." He let go and landed first on his feet but it lasted not even a second before he landed on his back. A grone came from Nick when he stood up on his feet and looked up at Jane.

Jane looked at him with shock when he stretched his arms up to her and said that he would catch her.

This was crazy.

A loud crash was heard from the corridor and it followed with a scream. It sounded like Penelope, but she wasn't hundred percent sure, it could be anyone. What if it was Octavia?

Octavia! If they found the gold that meant.. "JANE!" Nick screamed her name and before she knew it she was hanging from the window with a hard grip on the windowsill and on the dragon blanket. For a second she thought of the times she had touched a dragon, a alive dragon. But the thought quickly vanished when Nick told her to let go.

And she did. The fall wasn't long and a scream didn't come out from her mouth before she was in Nick's arms.

"See? I told you I would catch you." He put her down on the ground and almost ran to the door which lead into the castle, he put his ear on the door and listen for a few seconds until he shaked his head and ran to balcony edge.

"What? Can't we go in there?" Jane asked. "No, to many people is in there, we would get spotted at once and we can't afford that." Nick put his hands on the stone fence that was around the balcony.

Forest was before them. But if you looked at the left you could see a little part of the garden and the castle was visible on both side which meant that anyone could see them from the windows. Jane ran to Nick's side. "We need to get out of here if we don't want to get seen."

A chair went thru a window on the second floor on the right and glass went flying and then a person came flying out with a scream. Martha. Martha was the person who came flying through the window and went crashed to the ground and her scream was cut off.

Jane wanted to scream and puke, but Nick's hand went to her mouth and turned her around.

This wasn't crazy. This was madness.

"We need to jump again." Nick said in panic.

"There he is!" A man shouted from the window Martha had been falling from.

"Come on!" Nick was quick and ran to the stone fanch and once again he hang a few meters from the ground and he let go and fell again on his back.

"GET HIM! HE'S RUNNING AWAY!"

Jane jumped up and sat on the stone fence.

"Hurry!" Nick said with his arm once again ready to catch her. Jane turned around and took a grip on the stone fence and hang for a while and she could feel her hands getting red from the stone. Jane let go and falled into Nick's arms but he fell to the ground with Jane with him.

Nick was on his back again and Jane was lying half on him and her other half was on the cold hard ground.

"DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!" The man once again yelled.

Nick rolled Jane off him and tried to get up on his feet, but winched and brought his hand to his left side.

"You're hurt." Jane said in a small voice and Nick hissed between his teeth when he stood up. "I'm fine."

"THERE HE IS!" Jane and Nick looked the way the voice was coming from. The man was looking down at them where they jumped from.

Jane gasped when the man pulled a dagger from his belt and was about to throw it at Nick. Jane was about to push Nick away when he took her hand and they both started to run away from the castle when the dagger was thrown and missed its target.

Jane and Nick ran through the woods. There was no patch to follow and they had to jump over stones and a falling tree before Nick turned right and now Jane could hear water. The river. Jane was breathing heavy when Nick came to halt and almost made Jane run into him. Nick's breath was even more heavy then Jane's and his hand was holding his left side. Like his ribs were broken. They were standing between the fishing boats and where they washed clothes.

"Go and get some clothes on the linen clothing while I'll fix a boat." Nick said and walked to the boats.

Jane stood still and looked at him confused. This day was getting more and more confusing. Her birthday shouldn't be this confusing! She stamped with her foot and turned to the clothes.

Why should she get clothes? She already had clothes on her and why would he fix a boat? Would they get away from this island? Maybe that was the best, if the villagers was crashing the castle. The castle. Crashed glass. People screaming and yelling. Martha flying out from the window. Martha. Viola. Frida. Octavia.

Jane started to cry. This was not how she wanted this day to go! This was her day! Her birthday! She turned nine today! This was madness!

The castle was getting ruined, Martha was dead, maybe Viola and the rest of the staff was dead too. The king and queen maybe was dead. Octavia. If she was where the gold was, she probably was dead. And Nick was chased by men.

Nick. He was waiting for her. They would get away from here and start somewhere no one would find them and they would get a better life then they had here. Maybe Nick did have a nice life here and Jane's hadn't been really awful. She had had Octavia and Viola had been like a mother to her and Martha became like a mother to her these last years. But she wanted to get out of here, she wanted to find her mother, she wanted freedom.

Jane took a purple coat with a golden buckle, which was the queens and was way to big for her and then she took down a red coat which was the king's from the linen clothing. They were a little damp from the rain a few hours before. But they were better than nothing. With boat coat's in her arms she walked back to Nick who had a boat ready in the water, he held the boat's rope so it wouldn't float away.

"Throw the coat in and jump in." He said and looked from the boat to Jane, where his eyes stopped and he shaked his head. "Please don't cry." He said in a small voice. "Just through the coat into the boat and jump in before someone finds us." He looked to boat and gestured to it.

Jane threw threw the coats into the boats. "Jump in." Nick said and held out a hand for Jane. Jane took it and carefully swinged her legs over the boat so she stood inside it with jelly legs. The last time she was inside a boat like this she was taken away from her mother and was tied up. She then fell on her butt when Nick pushed the boat away but before his arms was out of Jane's reach she quickly took Nick's hand in hers.

"Jump in." Jane said but Nick shaked his head. "No, I have to stay, I promised to protect you and that was six years ago I made that promise to you and I haven't really protected you, but I can protect you now. The villagers will kill you they get a hand of you because you work at the staff. So I'm protecting you know. You will get away from here and start a new life somewhere, go and find your mother or you father. What was it? Berk your father and brother lived on? Go and find your family." Jane started to cry. "No! Come with me! I can't do this alone! How can I survive in this boat? I-" "I THINK I FIND HIM!" Nick pushed the boat again away from him. "Goodbye. And happy birthday." With that he ran into the woods, he chased away the three men who followed them. Jane sat down still crying before the stream to the boat and she were off. Out to the open ocean with no way to go.

It could been hours, it could be months, (she stopped counting the days after getting a headache from it) but the burning castle was still in her mind. The yellow and orange flames under a cloud of dark grey smoke. Screams was heard when the boat passed the castle and out to the ocean. And here Jane Haddock was. Sitting in a small boat under two coats (it was really cold) with only water and sky to see wherever she looked. Blue so much blue. She had seen land, was it hours or minutes ago? She couldn't remember but after that, nothing. Just sky and ocean, blue and blue. And black when it was night, with only the stars and the moon to look at when the waves wouldn't let her sleep, it often ended up she cried herself to sleep. She took an apple from the bag Nick had put in the boat, it seemed he had planned this for her. Jane had also screamed until her throat hurt, just hoping that someone would hear her, but no one did. The waves rocked the boat was not helping her and eating before a wave rocked the boat back and forward was not a good idéa, she threw the food up, but it was hard to know when it is safe to eat. Big waves came and go. Three apples, a piece of bread and one water bottle left, after that she didn't have any food left and she didn't know what to do when it was eating. She prayed to the gods that she would be found before that.

She looked up to the sky again, the sun was about to set. Jane sighed out loud. She hated the night, she didn't get any sleep and she was afraid that a shark or something would attack her. What if she died here? In middle of nowhere. Surrounded by water and gods no what living in these waters.

Jane shaked her head and tried to think positive things. But what was positive things right now? Octavia could be dead and so can Nick. Martha was dead and so could the other in the staff also be. She didn't know where her mother was, she didn't even know where she was, and it was a possibility that her mother was dead. And she had never been to Berk so she didn't know where that was. Maybe the only positive thing right now was that she was alive, but wouldn't be better if she was dead so she didn't need to feel this way and experience this pain and sadness. Tears was running down from her eyes again. Gods was she tired to crying.

Jane looked when the sun set and the stars came out on the night sky. She laid down on the bench she was sitting on and curled her legs so they could be over board. She didn't know how long she stared up on the night sky but when she almost fell asleep the boat started to rock and she open her eyes in annoyed. The ocean would never let her sleep. Then she felt a drop on her nose, and before she knew it rain started to pure from the sky.

BOOM CRASH!

Jane jumped and looked around in panic and stopped when she saw dark grey clouds in the distance. Thunder.

BOOM CRASH!

Jane sat down on the boat floor and covered her ears and shut her eyes. This wasn't happening. This was not happening! Jane could feel the panic get even stronger and she was crying again. Gods please! She prayed. Please make it stop!

BOOM CRASH!

It sounded even closer now and waves made the boat rock back and forward and she was not ready when a wave came into the boat and make her more wet and create a poodle in the boat. She screamed and jumped back and her eyes opened and her hands away from her ears.

The thunder and rain continued before her eyes and the waves made the boat and her go to the side, forward, backwards and it felt like the boat would flip over and she would fall right down into the cold ocean water. Jane didn't know what to do. The only thing she could do was to panic, close her eyes, hold her arms around the bench, cry och hope that it would stop. Water came into the boat again and she coughed. Half of her legs was cover in water. She didn't want to die. Not here! This was not how Jane Haddock would die! Another wave came and this one was bigger and stronger and made the boat flip over and made Jane fall into the water under the boat.

Now Jane was in real panic, she couldn't breath or barely see and she could feel the coats dragging her down. She took the first coat off her but when she was reaching to the golden buckle to take the other coat off her, her lungs was screaming and she felt her eyes close and the surface came further away from her. Her eyes closed, the panic disappeared and all she could feel was the cold water around her and the coat around her throat.

Margaret Leifsson was a nine year old who you would call a troublemaker. And she knew that and lived up to her name, Maggie The Troublemaker the village she lived in called her. She wasn't just a troublemaker, she was nice too and she was funny, she sometimes was called a Joker, Maggie The Joker, but she hated that title. She was a troublemaker who was funny, no need to call her a joker. And she was brave, so brave that she dared to prank the chief son, Eric Eiriksson. He didn't hate prank, he only hate it when he was the victim. He was the next chief of Drigen and he didn't like to be embarrassed in front of the village! But no one could stop Margaret, no even now after she pranked Evelyn, the sister to Eric. She will be so mad when she wakes up and realize her hair is not to her butt but to her shoulder blades. But what can you do when she put fire your hair and had to cut to your shoulder blades when your hair also had reached your butt?

The cold morning wind went past her even faster when she told her deadly nadder, Bailey to fly faster away from the village and to the east side of the village, where a beach was between a forest and the ocean.

She sat down on the sand and Bailey curled behind her. Maggie leaned backwards and felt Bailey's scales to her back.

"When do you think she will realize that her precious hair isn't to butt anymore? When she sit down and realize she doesn't sit on her hair." Bailey laughed* and Maggie laughed with her.

Maggie out to the ocean, it had been a storm last night, it hadn't been over the island, it had only rained, but you could see and hear the thunder that was over the ocean. Maggie looked to her right and saw a three that was lying on the ground since a month ago. She stood up and started to walk to the falling tree.

"I can't believe they still haven't taking this away from here." Maggie said while Bailey walked beside her.

"We need to-" Maggie stopped in her tracks, when she saw a purple coat lying on top of a… girl? Maggie looked at Bailey before she jumped up on the fallen tree and jumped down beside the body. She hesitated before she kneeled down and turned the body so she could see its face. It was a girl, she was wet and sand was almost covered her face. Maggie carefully brushed the sand away from the girl's face and saw a brush on her forehead. Maggie saw that she was breathing but it seemed that it was hard for her to breath.

Maggie looked at her and tried to figure out what to do. Should she try to wake her up or run for help? Maggie wanted to run and get help but she didn't want to leave the girl.

Maggie started to shake the girl to try to wake her up, but she didn't.

"MAGGIE!" She turned around and she was fast on her feet. Eric landed his dragon, Shadow on the beach and walked to her, he was angry.

"Maggie! What did you to my sister?!" He yelled at her. He walked fast and was now in front of her with the falling tree between them. "She is not happy and she really want to kill you right now." He crossed his arms and looked at her in anger, like it was his hair she had cut and not his sisters.

"We don't have time for that now! I-" "No! You can't escape this one this time! You-"

"WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT NOW BECAUSE I FOUND A GIRL HERE WHO, BY THE LOOKS OF IT, ISN'T IN A GOOD SHAPE SO WILL YOU PLEASE DROP IT AND AND HELP ME HELP HER!" Maggie yelled right in Eric's face, another thing Maggie was the only one who was brave enough to do, yell at Eric.

Eric didn't look at her in shock, Maggie had yelled at him many times before, he sighed and looked away from her and his eyes fell on the girl lying at Maggie's feet. He quickly jumped up on the falling tree and jumped down from it and was quickly on the girl's side and tried to wake her up.

"When did you find her?"

"Maybe a minute ago or two? I found her like this her breathing-" Maggie stopped when the girl started to cough up water and her blue eyes opened before they heavy closed again and she started to catch her breath and started to panic.

"Calm down, calm down, you're not in danger we're here to help you." Eric said before the girl once again was unconscious.

The first thing Jane felt was heat and that she was lying on something soft. She tried to open her eyes but they didn't budge. She tried to lift her fingers but they only moved an inch before she felt exhausted. She panic and started to wonder where she was, then flashed of the ocean and the boat started to fill her mind. Was she still underwater? By why was their heat? And why could she breathe normal? More panic started to come over her but stopped when a hand was placed on her forehead.

"Go back to sleep, I'll watch over you." A boy said and she fell to sleep.

Maybe this was Valhalla.

It was night when Jane finally could open her eyes and see where she was. The first thing she saw was a wood, the wood of an inside house wroof. She felt the heat again like when she couldn't open her eyes. Jane looked down and saw that she had fur blankets on her. She turned her head to the left, were the only light came from a candle on a table beside the bed, she almost jumped when she saw a boy sitting on a chair fast asleep.

Where is she? Who is he? How did she get here? Who saved her from the ocean? What- Jane coughed and it hurt too. Water she wanted water, or something. She coughed again and the boy woke up from his sleep. He looked like Jane's age, with brown hair and dark blue eyes, he wore a blue tunic with a brown belt, brown pants and brown boots.

They looked at each other for a moment before he started to speak.

"Uhm… How-how do you feel?" He asked nervously.

Jane open her mouth to say something but she coughed instead. Gods did it hurt.

"Do you want anything? Like water?" the boy said almost in panic.

"Water." Jane said in a small voice. The boy almost ran to the other side of the room where a table stood with a glass and a jug with water. The boy almost spilled the water when he almost ran back to her and, without warning lifted Jane's head up so she could drink it. Jane smiled when he took the glass away from her lips. She hadn't been treated like this since Bo gave her clothes, but that was only because she needed to be dressed like a boy. Viola and Octavia treated her like this when she got sick but this, this was a whole other feeling. And she didn't even know this boy or where she was!

He placed the glass on the table beside the bed when Jane started to speak.

"Where am I and who are you?"" She asked.

"Well you're on Drigen and my name is Eric." The boy, Eric said.

Drigen. Jane had never heard of that place before.

"What's your name?" Eric asked her.

"Jane." Eric smiled.

"Welcome to Drigen, Jane."

I know I'm like 2 months late, but school has been killing me with homeworks and this chapter has 7266 words and it's the longest chapter I ever have writing. I actually wanted to write more, like Evelyn and Maggie would come in but I didn't feel like to write that.

In next chapter we will go back to Hiccup and the gang!

I hope this chapter make sence to you, there were somethings I didn't know how to write so I just wrote something and I hope you didn't got confused.
