Hallo! A lot of you guys were murdering me about Astrid but never fear just hold on for another erm, 7 lines. Well anyway guys this is it- the last chapter…

Chapter 14- Healing

What felt like hours later my dad entered the hall. I was in the same position as I had been when he left; my face concealed in Toothless' warm skin. His tail was wrapped protectively around me.

I felt my father's hand on my shoulder.

"Son?"

I lifted my bloodshot eyes to his sparkling green ones.

"She's going to live."

I couldn't take it then- I burst into floods of tears. My father looked star- struck for a moment; he then encased me in a hug, holding me close. I finally composed myself enough to ask. "Can I see her?" My voice came out all croaky and I was sniffing all the while.

"She's sleeping but I'm sure Lily will let you in for a few minutes." He responded with a certain gentleness I was unused to.

She was in her bed; her face as white as a sheet. At first I didn't think she was breathing but as I came closer I could see the small rise and fall of her chest. Lowering myself into the chair next to her form I brushed her bangs out her eyes. She looked like an angel even with beads of sweat cascading down her forehead. Her shining hair spread out on the pillow like a halo. I smiled to myself; if she knew that thought had just passed through my mind she would have punched me oh so very 'lightly' on the shoulder then her lips would have cascaded along my own; warm and gentle. She shivered and moaned in her sleep. Shifting closer I placed my cool hands across her burning forehead and stroked down her cheek.

She would survive. However battered and beaten up we all were we would be ok. I closed my eyes and lay back in the chair wrapping my hands round her slender fingers. We would all survive. Yes the nightmares would haunt us forever. And the scars would never leave; they would always be embedded in our memories, our hearts, our freedom, but we would be ok. I had my heart back- however many cracks still ran along its surface, and we could always sew it back together with new memories; new joy. At least until Dagur arose again- we were safe.

For now.

Dun dun DUN! This story my friends, is just the beginning. And of course I wouldn't kill Astrid- I would have to be invincible to be able to write any of them dying for real!:)

Anyway, hallo my trusty readers- if you're reading this you've read through the whole story! (Unless you skipped to the end;) We've reached the end of the road:) I just want to thank all my lovely reviewers and followers- it means so much. Your guys also gave me some really good ideas in the reviews that all round helped my writing:

Transformers 0 has been amazing with feedback and constructive criticism (big words!:) and had really helped egg me on so thank you!:)

Also thanks to kateMarie999- this FanFiction would never have been born without her inspiration and amazing work. You should go check her out; her fanfics are just phenomenal:)!

Also thanks to Fantasylunargirl. You gave me the idea for chapter 8- Heartbreak. I wasn't going to write anything about what was happening with Astrid but you gave me the idea of writing what Astrid was up to so thank you:)

Also another massive thanks to all my readers and reviewers (Nicolefrana101, Hendemar2000, DragonDreamer1011, Guest, Sealimen Dawntracker, Little did you know, and loads more:) Thank you so much- your reviewing has paid off; it's one of the things I love most about writing FanFiction, getting feedback.

There will be a sequel, called Dagur's secret, which I have just started writing- it should be up next Wednesday if not I PROMISE next Sunday so keep your eyes peeled:) I won't tell you anything- I'll keep it a secret;)

I'm also going to start writing some one- shots. The other day I was re-watching the DreamWorks Dragons episode where Snotlout is convinced he's dying and say's 'nobody's perfect: Fishlegs is afraid of heights. The twins can't count past nine and Astrid had obvious anger issues.' And what I really caught my eye is why can't the twins count past nine? Why is Fishlegs afraid of heights? And I know the obvious answers and 'they never learned' and 'he just is afraid.' But what if there is a story behind it? So I might be writing a few one- shots that discover the truth behind the dragon riders er, 'un-perfections.' So let me know what you think about that idea:)

Anyway guys that's the end of Dagur's grudge. I shall see you all in the Dagur's Secret- if you decide to read Dagur's Secret:) Let me know what you thought of Dagur's grudge overall and how I could improve the sequel:)

Thanks again

Acia :P

P.S. I have had an AMAZING idea and I have an idea for a third and fourth fanfic!:)
