Thanks to Guest, ReptileGirl497, Smoe05 and yesthenLucky9 for the feedback!

I would like to apologise to everyone who is following this story. For some odd reason, FanFiction isn't sending out E-Mails about the chapter. Meaning you guys don't get told when I post the chapter. Also, that Canadian Stereotype about how we Canadians apologise for everything is very true. This isn't even my fault and I'm apologising.

Smoe05: We have another reference in here! HAHA!

Anyway, we are continuing down the path of insanity. Well, Hiccup's insanity. And mine. The muse will not stay quiet!

Lots of Hiccstrid in this one!

Enjoy!

Astrid sighed. It had been two weeks since Hiccup's last outburst, and she was desperately hoping that it was over.

"Hiccup?"

He smiled. "Hey. What's up?"

"You feeling OK?"

"Fine. Maybe it's over?"

Astrid sighed. "We can only hope."

Hiccup frowned. "What if Viggo wanted me to leave the Dragon Riders, and as soon as I did, he stopped torturing me?"

"Or, whatever Gothi gave you actually helped."

"Maybe. Hiccup opened the door and was met with the image of Viggo. Hiccup fell back onto the floor and looked desperately at Astrid.

"Yep. Definitely not over."

Astrid slowly walked into the clubhouse. "We need to find Viggo, fast."

Heather stood. "What's happening? I thought Hiccup was better?"

She shook her head. "No. I don't know what started it back up, but he saw Viggo and fell over, terrified. Hiccup is going to be useless in a fight with him. After what he went through, I don't blame him."

Dagur stood as well. "I have some old contacts that aren't a fan of Viggo. I can ask them for any information regarding him."

Astrid nodded. "Good." She looked at the twins and Snotlout. "As for the three of you. You are not to do any tricks or pranks of any kind. You guys seem to have a habit of doing seemingly harmless tricks that can seriously mess up one of us. And I can't have that happening to Hiccup. Understand?"

The trio nodded, Snotlout looking pensive. "You know, if Hiccup doesn't bounce back, you can always have me."

Astrid groaned. She had had a nice vacation from the mutton-heads flirting, and she was hoping he was done with it. She should of known better.

Tuffnut and Heather were on patrol. Which was normal, seeing that Tuffnut wouldn't flirt with her. Now, they stood on the edge of the landing dock, looking at the sea.

He glanced at her. "Hey."

"Yeah?"

"You ever wonder..."

Heather looked at him and waited for the continuation of the question. "Wonder what?"

"Ah, oh, sorry, kinda spaced out. IS THAT VIGGO?"

Heather sighed as he glanced closer.

"No. Rock."

"Mutton-Head."

Astrid slowly walked into Hiccup's hut. "Hey, how are you feeling?"

He sighed. "Fine, I guess. I just wish I knew how to fix this. I-" Hiccup stopped, a look of fear crossing over his face. "Go away."

Astrid frowned. "Hiccup?"

He sat up abruptly. "Don't touch her!"

She started towards him. "Hiccup, what is happening? Who are you talking to?"

"Stop!" Hiccup was yelling, but it wasn't directed at her. He paused as though listening. "Shut up! You say the same thing every time! Get away from my family!"

"Hiccup!"

Astrid wrapped her arms around the lad, covering his green eyes from whatever he was seeing. Hiccup tried to break free.

"No! Astrid, you have to move, he's right over there!"

"Hiccup, no one else is in this hut."

"He is! I saw him! He's right..." Hiccup trailed off and glanced around the hut. "He was right here."

Astrid hugged him tight. "Hiccup, what was that?"

He sighed. "Viggo. He's messing with my head. He was going to kill you. Again."

She pulled away and looked at him. "Have you been having nightmares?" When he nodded, Astrid sighed. "I told you to come find me. How long?"

Hiccup paused as though afraid. "Every night for a while now. That's why I seemed normal during the day. It was during the night."

Astrid stood. "Ok. You have a choice. Either you spend your nights at my hut, or I spend my nights at yours. Pick one."

Hiccup started to shake his head. "This-this really isn't-"

"It is. I need to protect you, and I can't do that if I'm not with you."

He sighed, defeated. "I'll go to your hut."

Astrid nodded and turned to leave, when he spoke up.

"And, Astrid?" When she turned, he continued. "Thanks. I appreciate it. Really."

She smiled. "I'll always be here. Standing between you and Viggo. Always."

Hiccup smiled, blocking the mental image of her getting stabbed. He shook his head. "I know. Thanks."

"I'll come check on you later. I'm going to find a bigger bed."

Hiccup sighed. "T-That's not really necessary, is it?"

Astrid smiled at his uneasiness. "Well, I'm not letting you sleep on the floor."

"Fine. I'll come by later."

She grinned. "See? That wasn't so hard, was it?"

"You have no idea..."

Astrid laughed. "Get some rest, Hiccup. You need it."

Viggo! Get out of my Hiccstrid story! You're ruining everything! GRRRR!

Funny how Hiccup is plagued with visions of Viggo, not Ryker. Seeing as how Ryker 'killed' Astrid, I would think Hiccup would see Ryker. But, alas... (It's because I like Viggo better)

Thanks for reading! (Leave a comment to yell at Viggo. Or me. Or the muse. You know what, just the muse)
