Me: So, I got people who love the story so far.

I am seriously questioning myself about making this a crossover with Criminal Minds, something that I'm hook on watching at the moment.

I'm gonna put a poll up if you want me to do this, but to let you know, I might do it no matter what because it idea seems cool to me.

If you don't know what Criminal Minds is, look it up. It's a group of people who track down serial killers, kidnappers, and other things. It's a good show and I like it.

Now, enjoy the chapter.


Lyrics On Phone - "Italic"


Week Later

Hiccup sat down, eating lunch.

He was with this group for the past week and he's helped them get a lot of information. He didn't go on another mission after the Grimborn brothers, but he did help with information on other things.

What he found that shocked and awed him was that the information they had to clear others was clear in their grasp, their chance of freedom, but none took it. It appeared that Red and others inspired loyalty to much, that will not leave until their names are cleared.

They were a family.

Everyone here got along with Hiccup greatly, but the only one who seemed to have a problem was Hookfang. He was the only one who didn't seem I like Hiccup that much and Hiccup doesn't know why. Hopefully, he will find out soon.

Hiccup's thoughts were suddenly put tp a stop when a hand slapped down on the table to the left of him. Jumping, Hiccup chocked on his bite, swallowing the bite of sandwich savagely. He glared up at a sheepish looking Stormfly.

"Warn me next time," Hiccup grumbled.

"Sorry," Stormfly giggled nervously.

Someone sitting next to him made Hiccup turned to his right. Toothless sat there, smiling with his head resting on his hand as he leaned his elbow on the table. Hiccup raised an eyebrow as he heard Stormfly sit next to him.

"What," Hiccup asked.

"Well, you know your mother was a singer, right," Toothless said.

Hiccup, wondering what this was about, nodded.

"Well, we found a video that shows her singing," Stormfly exclaimed.

Hiccup gasped, "Really?"

"Yep. But Stormfly decided to show everyone before showing you and I couldn't stop her," Toothless said, looking at Stormfly with a pointed glare.

Stormfly blushed, but Hiccup wouldn't care at this point if she was blushing or not, or if there was a police raid going on, or a dancing elephant on a ball in the figging room. All he wanted was to see that video.

"Let me see. I want to see," Hiccup said.

Stormfly took out her phone, one that Meatlug made untraceable to police scanners. Hiccup watched as Stormfly pulled up a video and took a deep breath at what he saw on the screen.

His mother, clearly younger, was sitting on a chair on a stage. In her hands was her guitar, shining bright chrome in the light.

"Alright, everyone. Our last contestant, a last-minute addition. Give it up for Valka Valhalla!"

Valka smiled, waving at the crowd that cheered for her.

Hiccup smiled at the sight of his late mother, remembering her smile that clearly showed she was happy. Even when she was dying, she never seemed to stop smiling at everything and all the life and more importantly, him.

Valka strings her guitar while the crowd cheers. Once they settled, Valka started playing a soft tune before she joins the music with her voice.

"I lose my way, no one cares.
The words I say, no one hears
My life it seems is a world of dreams.
Deep in the night, you'll find me.

Dream and you're right behind me.
Stay...if you will stay.
We'll dream the night away.

Dreams to dream, in the dark of the night.
When the world goes wrong, I can still make it right.
I can see so far in my dreams.
I'll follow my dreams until they come true.

There is a star, waiting to guide us.
Shining inside us, when we close our eyes!
Come with me, you will see what I mean!

There's a world insight, no one else ever sees!

You will go so far in my dreams.
Somewhere in my dreams, your dreams will come true."

Valka playing her guitar without singing for a couple of seconds before she starting singing again, loud and powerful.

"Don't let go, if you stay close to me!
In my dreams tonight, you will see what I see!
Dreams to dream, as near as can be!
Inside you and me, will always come true.

Inside you and me, that always come true."

Valka holds the last note for a couple seconds before bringing it to an end. Everyone starts cheering as Valka gets up, putting her guitar on the chair before jumping up, waving at the crowd with both hands.

Her angelic voice that Hiccup still remembered when they sang together, but only she was not whispering or wasn't the last song she sang for him. Hiccup wiped the tears away as he smiled, nodding.

"Yeah, that's my mom. Before she met Stoick," Hiccup says.

"Your mom's voice is beautiful Hiccup," Toothless says.

Hiccup grins. But before he could say anything, something on the phone caught his attention, prompting Hiccup's grin to fall and stare at the screen. Stormfly made to move the phone away, but Hiccup grabbed her wrist, making her still.

"What is it Hiccup," Stormfly asked, startled.

Hiccup didn't answer. Instead, he leaned in close, staring at his mother's neck, something that came loose when his mother was jumping and waving at the crowd with all she had.

On his mother's neck was a black scale on a silver.

Hiccup suddenly remembered his mother's scale necklace, something that has been passed down through each generation to the first child once they were born. That necklace never left his mother's neck.

Until she married Stoick and he made her take it off, put it in a box, and into a closest to never wear it again or give to her son.

"Hiccup," Toothless says.

Hiccup looks at him, tears in his eyes at the silent question in Toothless's eyes, asking what was wrong. Hiccup let out a shaky breath.

"The necklace around my mother's neck, that's her black scale necklace. She always wore it. It's a custom family heirloom given to the first born child once they were born. It was supposed to be given to me, but Stoick made her take it off and put it in the closet to never be worn again. My mother's necklace is back at the house. The same necklace she wanted to give me, but Stoick wouldn't let her!"

Hiccup suddenly broke down, hands covering his face as he wept. Toothless wrapped his arms around Hiccup as the boy cried.

People would say crying over a necklace was stupid, that you could easily get another one because it was custom, one of the kind. To Hiccup, that necklace was like his mother's guitar, something of hers left behind for Hiccup.

And the necklace was with someone who won't think twice before destroying it.

Toothless shared a glance with Stormfly. Stormfly looked at him for only a couple seconds before realizing what Toothless was slightly asking her and nodded. Turning their gaze, they looked at an approaching Red.

Red stopped, took one look at them and knew that whatever the both of them were gonna do, she wouldn't be able to stop them.


Haddock Household

It was night time as Toothless and Stormfly peered inside the darkened house. No one was home.

With gloved hands, Toothless picked the lock on the front door this time as Stormfly pick the lock at the back. Once they entered, they looked at each other from across the house.

Toothless pointed to himself before pointing upstairs. Stormfly nodded, pointing to herself before gesturing to downstairs.

As Toothless searched the closets upstairs, Stormfly searched downstairs. Toothless tossed things out of the closest, opening things up and looking for the necklace. He paused when he pulled out a framed photo of Stoick, grinning like a drunk at the camera. Toothless winces and throws the picture across the room, smiling when it shattered. He looked back in the closet when something caught his eye.

Toothless pulled out a gun case from between two boxes. After checking the gun, Toothless realized that it was loaded. Toothless frowned.

Yeah, Stoick was a cop, but did he really forget this gun in the closet? Unless it wasn't his at all. Toothless looked down in thought, noticing the gun looked made for a female hand rather than males due to it being a Sig Sauer P320.

Downstairs, Stormfly went through the closest when she brushed against something on the shelf. Frowning, she grabbed a chair and pulled it towards the closest. Standing up on the chair, Stormfly smiled when she saw a thin brown case.

Opening it, Stormfly beamed when she saw that it was the black scale necklace Valka wore in her video. She was about to yell up to Toothless that she found it when she saw movement out of the corner of her eye caught her attention.

Seeing that it was charging at her, Stormfly braced herself. When whatever it was hit her, Stormfly let out a shout when she banged onto the floor. Seeing a foot traveling to hit her, she rolled away. Getting up, Stormfly glared at her attacker.

It was Drago Bludvist, Stoick's deputy, one of Stoick's most trusted followers. Stormfly hissed at Drago. Drago growled, swinging his hand at Stormfly. Stormfly ducked but got hit when Drago swung again.

Drago got behind her and wrapped his arms around her neck, starting to choke her.

Stormfly shook her head, trying to get free. She frailed her arms, trying to hit Drago when a loud bang like a gunshot went through the air. The bullet hit Drago in the shoulder, making him release Stormfly.

Once free, Stormfly turned and kicked Drago on the head. Turning to Toothless, she saw the gun in his hand and the case in the other.

"Let's go," Toothless shouted.

Nodding, Stormfly grabbed the necklace, leaving the case behind as both of them ran out the door. Once they were far enough, they sucked into an alley where Toothless's car was. Toothless got into the driver's seat as Stormfly got into the passenger's side.

Stormfly looked at Toothless, confused, irritated, and angry.

"Where in the blazing gods did you get a gun," Stormfly screams.

"I found it in a closet upstairs. It looks like it was given to Valka, but Stoick took that from her as well," Toothless, said, putting the gun away in its case.

"And how do you know that," Stormfly asked, rubbing her throat.

Toothless holds up a congratulations card signed to Valka, the words "Happy Marriage" on the cover. It said the gun was given to Valka because every wife of the police chief should have one.

Stormfly calmed down, seeing that the gun was Valka's. Toothless looked at Stormfly rubbing her neck and opened the cabinet in front of her, handing her a Med Kit. Toothless put the key's in the ignition, starting the car.

Before Toothless could pull out, Stormfly holds up the black scale necklace. Toothless breaks out into a smile, laughing. Stormfly laughs too, but hers is weaker because of her throat.

Toothless drives off, back to their hideout, taking many turns to much sure they weren't being followed.


Back At The Dragon Gang Base

"You've shot who," Red asked, staring at Toothless and Stormfly in front of her.

"I shot Drago on the shoulder. He was chocking Stormfly and the gun was already in my hand. I found it in the closet. A card showed it was given to Valka, but Stoick took it away and put it in the closet," Toothless says.

Once Toothless and Stormfly got back, Stormfly was taken to the Med Room to be checked out while Toothless stayed behind to give his report to Red. He gave the Sig Sauer P320 to Red and said he had shot Drago with it.

"Why did you two go back there," Hiccup asked from where he stood next to Red.

Toothless looked at Hiccup before raising his hand, opening it up to reveal the black scale necklace. Hiccup gasped, hands going to his mouth in clear shock. Hiccup grabbed his mother's necklace, tracing it before looking up at Toothless.

Toothless smiled at him.

"We couldn't stand to see you cry. Stormfly and I went back to get it for you. She found it before she attacked by Drago. The gun is yours too. I believe your mother would want you to have it. We have spare gun hoster's for you to choose from," Toothless explained.

Hiccup couldn't care less about the gun and instead lunged at Toothless, hugging him around his neck tightly.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you," Hiccup said into Toothless's neck.

Toothless looked up when the door opened and Stormfly came in. Stormfly ignored everyone and instead made a beelined towards Hiccup. Hiccup, seeing her, turned and hugged her around her waist.

"Thank you for finding it," Hiccup cried.

Stormfly pat Hiccup on the head, smiling. Stormfly looked at Toothless, giving him a nod. Toothless smiled at Stormfly, giving her a nod. Red sighed, shaking her head, but smiled nonetheless.

"The punishment for you two is clean up duty for a week. Understood. Starting tomorrow. Right now, get some rest," Red said.

Toothless and Stormfly nodded, knowing that it could be worse, but they didn't care.

They just cared that Hiccup smiled when he put his mother's necklace on.
