So without any more distractions or interruptions, here is the new chapter so enjoy and be prepared for anything ;)

Hiccup thought he might be able to escape, keep Toothless safe, and have time to find his brother and sister. He found another slope to slide down from and when he slid down from it, the hunters who were after him fell down on their faces. He found a couple of boulders which he quickly hid behind and squeezed in a small opening they had in between and waited for the coast to be clear. He can tell from how far he ran, he was near the beach in the far south of the village. However, what he didn't expect was hearing the sound of Viggo Grimborn's voice shouting with confidence from just a few feet away from where he hid.

"Hiccup Haddock the Third, I know you're out there! Fleeing for your life, and in hopes of finding your brother and sister."

Mom must have really been in leagues with the dragon hunters...Hiccup thought to himself as he remained in his place, waiting for an opportunity to move while Viggo continued.

"Unfortunately, that would not be necessary, because you'll be coming with us to join Dagur and Heather," Viggo smiled as he snapped his fingers, and Hiccup didn't need to see but he heard the sound of hunters dragging someone along the sand while he heard muffled screams coming from Heather. His heart skip two beats, he had to hold in a gasp in shock and guilt for not being able to protect his twin sister as he hoped. He had to restrain the urge to get up and confront Viggo on the spot, he was torn between what he could do. His mind was all over the place trying to figure out a way to escape from the hunters and save his siblings. Meanwhile, Viggo could sense the tension in the air as he smirked. "Honestly Hiccup, you have nowhere else to go. You're too far from the village to seek help, you separated yourself from your own dragon, and your entire birth family is in my custody...Not to mention their lives hang on to what you decided."

Hiccup nearly forgot to breathe at that moment when he heard the swords being drawn out and now two more people who were gagged were dragged to kneel before Viggo.

"My brother Ryker is hunting down your nightfury as we speak, and your dragon is the rarest, not to mention, most valuable dragon any man can come in contact with. And you know from past experience that my brother can find that dragon, it's only a matter of time before they run into one another." Viggo chuckled, feeling confident of his victory while Hiccup was scared more than ever. "You have two options, Hiccup Haddock the Third in which we'll both be happy depending on we see this. I can allow you to escape, allowing me and my men to do whatever we please with your mother, brother, sister, and your captured dragons while you try to head back, get a rescue team and somehow rescue them, but by then it would be far too late. However, if you turn yourself in peacefully, you can be assured that your family's lives are spared, along with your dragons being set free, and the hunters never stepping foot on this island again. Sounds like a reasonable trade if I do say so myself. " Viggo stood patiently until he added one more detail. "But you do have a time limit, so you have to make your choice fast Hiccup, otherwise I cannot signal my brother to spare your nightfury."

Hiccup analyzing his options carefully, knowing from experience that Viggo was a man of his word but in his own twisted way. But could he be trusted this time?

"Five..."

Oh great, he's counting down after thirty seconds, Hiccup could hear the swords tap the ground impatiently. Those hunters were just waiting for him to run away so they can go for the kill.

"Four.."

From what Viggo had said, Hiccup can tell that if he doesn't turn himself in, then there are high chances of the dragon hunters attacking Berk in the near future. He couldn't allow that to happen, not to the village he grew up in, where his friends and his father are.

"Three..."

He couldn't allow Viggo to harm a single hair on Heather or a scale on one of their dragons. Hiccup then remembered that he had given Toothless something earlier that he had completely forgotten about since he had that chilling feeling for Heather's safety. I'm so glad...I thought ahead of this.

"Two..."

With a heavy sigh, Hiccup shouted. "You don't have to count down anymore Viggo!" He stood up from where he was hiding, much to Viggo's content, his sister's dismay while he could see that Dagur was only pretending to be gagged along with his mother. When Hiccup saw Dagur not tied up, his eyes grew wide in shock, No...Not Dagur, how could he...Deep down, he knew that this was his mother's doing, but regardless, Dagur betrayed them. "I'm here to give myself up to you, now call off your dragon hunter friends and leave our dragons, and my home alone!"

"A wise and noble decision Hiccup Haddock the third," Viggo smiled as he signaled the hunter next to him to call for Ryker. "Our should I say cousin, or better yet...Little brother." He could see that there was no reaction from Hiccup, which he had prepared for.

Then Ryker emerged from the bushes as he reported, "I left the nightfury tied up, it would have been better if we'd just take the nightfury." He grumbled at the last word but Viggo shook his head. "Maybe another time brother, but now we made a deal with Hiccup so we must respect the requirements of that deal," He then looked over at Eydis before turning his eyes towards Hiccup. "I assume from learning about your mother's past, you won't be making the same mistakes and risks she made. Do I make myself clear Hiccup?"

"Crystal," Hiccup growled as Ryker pushed him down to the sand as the other hunters held him down to tie him up and chain his legs. "But you sure have a funny way of welcoming your family."

"We can't take any risks with you on the boat," Viggo explained as Ryker shoved Hiccup to walk alongside Heather as they were being led to the ships by Dagur. "Especially since you have Berserker, and dragon hunter blood flowing through your veins."

"Keep moving!" Ryker shouted as Dagur gave them a harder shove as they sat down on the boats, and were headed to the ships. All Viggo said as they rowed towards the ships. "Trust me, my dear brother and sister, you two are the key to what we dragon hunters have longed for and with a little convincing, I'm sure you'll grow to enjoy the tradition of dragon hunting."

BACK AT BERK...

"Have you spotted anyone?" Astrid asked her A-Team, but the members shook their head with regret. "Keep looking!" After another three minutes, she heard a shout coming from where Gustav was...

And it was from Haddock household.

"YOU GUYS GOTTA SEE THIS!"

No soon, every dragon rider including Stoick meets at the doors of the house as they entered only to see that the upstairs room was a mess! However, what stood out in the mess was the satchel that just laid in the middle, closed but not entirely. "That's Eydis's," Astrid read the name that was embedded at the side of the satchel as she bent down to open the satchel, reaching her hand to go through it. That was when her eyes widened in shock as she pulled out several arrows. Arrows that were coated with dragon root.

"Aren't those the dragon hunter arrows you guys were telling me about?" Gustav pointed out.

"You don't think that the lad's birth mother had anything to do with the hunters?" Spitelout asked as he inspected one of the arrows. "These look brand new so they couldn't be old."

"And Heather isn't here with Windshear..." Astrid whispered out loud. "Dagur's missing, Eydis is missing...And now Heather."

"Um has anyone else noticed that Hiccup isn't here with Toothless?" Bucket spook up from out of the blue. "Isn't it past sunset, they should be here with us, shouldn't they? Or am I just going crazy again." Everyone stared at him and that was when the realization hit everyone! However, that realization did not show good reactions. After all, Astrid snapped all the arrows she had in her hand, Spitelout was looking behind him to see Stoick's anger being seen as bright as day.

"Spitelout, Gustav, you two are coming with me to search the far south of the forest!" Stoick commanded, he then pointed to Astrid and the other A-Team members. "The rest of you go search the north side! NOW! If you find anything then you'll tell me immediately!"

Without a second to lose, they were all split up to search.

Meanwhile far beyond Berk in the ocean waters, sailed the dragon hunters ship as Viggo and Ryker led Hiccup and Heather below the deck to be in separate cells while Dagur and Eydis trailed on behind them. That was when Viggo stopped, then turned to his aunt."Eydis, why don't you take Heather to her prison cell? Ryker, Dagur, and I have some business to attend to with Hiccup in the captain's room."

"Of course," Eydis responded as she led Heather to enter the cell while Hiccup was dragged away, neither twin couldn't stop looking back at one another until neither of them could see each other. The doors that led further to the captain's room, otherwise known as the interrogation room were closed, leaving both mother and daughter alone. Once Heather entered her cell, Eydis shut the dragon proof door to it, not meeting her daughter eye to eye as she sighed. "I had no other choice Heather, this was the only way I could have live and be able to protect the three of you again."

"By working with the same dragon hunters who you made that horrible deal with," Heather hissed, turning her back at her mother. "You may think that your words got to Dagur but he's better than this...He couldn't have changed sides that fast. You're the real traitor! And to think I was actually considering the fact that you really have changed..."

"Heather, please let me explain," Eydis begged.

"And why would I do that?!"

"Because none of this is what you think it is," Her mother began, grabbing some of her attention. "It's all part of my plan..."

Heather was silent for a moment, but a part of her couldn't turn down an explanation her mother might have. "Alright...I'm listening."

"Thank you."

MEANWHILE...

"I assume you've read about the past history about your mother," Viggo began as he sat down at the front table with Hiccup tied to a chair while Dagur and Ryker stood beside him. "And that you knew your true relationship between Dagur and Heather." When Hiccup said nothing but remain stoic, Viggo had his answer. "As I thought, and I can only imagine your surprise when you found out that everything you ever knew was a lie and that your very own mother would give you up just for the sake of her freedom."

"But doesn't it strike as odd when your mother suddenly wanted to prevent my father from getting his hands on you and Heather?" Viggo asked, his hands were folded as he gave Hiccup a stern face. "I'm going to need you to answer."

"Sure it was odd, but then again, everything in my life is odd or crazy, so I'm used to that. I mean one minute I'm a happy one legged viking and next thing you know I'm stuck here having a talk with psychopaths who one of them has terrible anger issues." Hiccup answered, clearly getting on Ryker's nerves already. If it wasn't for Viggo, Ryker might have attacked Hiccup by now!

"Can't argue with that, but that's why we're here right now," Viggo continued as he stood up, grabbed a box, and placed it on the table only for the box to be a Maces and Talons game board, but with an old piece of paper on top of it. "For me to tell you the missing details of the past that led to this fateful day."

"I wouldn't say fateful, more like another bad day," Hiccup sarcastically responded. "Depending on how crazy this gets."

"You can say all the sarcastic remarks you want," Viggo smirked, "But it won't help you escape, nor will it stop me from sharing this truth that my father has told me. Surely your mother never shared her knowledge as to what destiny of those birthmarks of yours. And keep in mind that if you don't cooperate with me in this talk, then your sister will be losing more than her adopted home island."

Hiccup sighed, he had to protect Heather at all cost, even if it means having to go through Viggo's mind games and more dangerous information about his past. "I'm listening..."

"Wonderful, now let's start at that night your mother made that deal..."
