Meg was walking through Berkians and dragons, leaving her brother announcing the intruders on the island to the gang.

She was going fast, and was mainly fuming. She saw the jail in sight and paced her steps. She groaned, about to burst out in it but immediately stopped when she saw her best friend talking with with the guy she almost murdered the day before. She hide behind the wall and looked at them discreetly.

Astrid was sitting in front of Jon, only the bars between them. She was... smiling? And so was he. Meg blinked. He didn't look like that guy could have killed people in that moment. Meg could heard parts of their conversation and he was actually really kind with Astrid. Even comforting her. And she had to admit, she didn't see Astrid with that smile since Hiccup broke up with her.

Meg was torn between the thought of going kick Jon's butt and letting him make her best friend smile. She sighed and decided to go to the second option. Astrid meant so much to Meg and it would be selfish to throw her away just to yell at a guy. So she decided to wait.

She went back to see check on the gang and what will be the plan. She was on her way to the forge when she saw everyone coming out of there. She ran to catch her brother.

-"Hiccup, wait!", she called taking him by the arm, "So, what's the plan?"

-"We need to be ready for him. So we are going to work by little groups. Ana, Hazel, Gobber and mom will be with me in our house. Fishlegs will also do the bait. You will be with Astrid, watching Jon to be sure he has nothing to do with Grimmel the Grisly. SnotLout and the twins will-"

-"W-w-wait! The Grisly?!", Meg interrupted.

-"Yeah. He's a Night Fury hunter. And he's after Toothless. So also make sure Luna is hidden as well, he could take her as a bait to attract Toothless.", Hiccup added.

-"Yeah. Of course.", Meg nodded.

Hiccup smiled and squeezed her arm before leaving. But Meg caught him again. He turned to raised an eyebrow at her.

-"Be careful.", Meg said.

-"I will. I promise.", Hiccup winked, "As for you, don't try to kill Jon. Just talk to him.", Hiccup reminded.

-"Oh don't worry about it.", Meg scoffed, watching her brother running away, she turned, walking back into the direction of the cells, "I know exactly where to start.", Meg said to herself, in a serious and cold breath.

The night had fallen.

Jon was getting bored in his cell. He was playing with a few rock on the floor, drawing on the bumpy ground under him. He expected it to happen anyway.

-"Why are you here?!"

He blinked and scoffed as he recognized the voice. He stood up and walked to the bars.

-"I'm fine thank you. What about you?", Jon simply said.

-"Stop pretending or I'll shave the rest of your hair.", Meg threatened.

Jon blinked but couldn't help laugh.

-"Oh really? Like your actual try at killing me?", Jon grinned.

-"I could have really killed you if Hiccup didn't stop me.", Meg kept her stare.

-"Of course you would.", Jon scoffed, going to his previous spot.

He sat back and found the rock he was playing with before.

-"Grimmel the Grisly. That's the guy you're working for right?", Meg asked, impatiently.

-"Maybe."

-"So you came here just to spy on us huh?! And then tell Grimmel to attack us and kill Toothless, and I guess Hiccup too?!", Meg yelled.

Jon didn't answer this time.

-"How-... So that's the guy you've been trying to convince me to work for on Dark Island?!"

Jon shrugged.

-"You're such a-... I should have gone instead of Ace and kill you when I had the chance!", Meg groaned, throwing her arms in the air.

Jon scoffed again. This time it definitely got Meg's nerves.

-"You're just a heartless dude aren't you?! I mean, your sister lives here!! How could you even think of attacking the island she's living on?! Do you even care about her happiness?!", Meg spatted.

Jon snapped her head to Meg. He stood again and stepped toward the bars until he was almost nose to nose Meg.

-"Don't you dare saying I don't care about Hazel.", Jon breathed in the coldness ton.

-"Or what?! You'll kill me?!", Meg teased.

Jon just stared at Meg, his icy eyes piercing her green eyes. But it wasn't enough to make her back off.

-"Alright. Do it. Kill me. I told you to give your best shot. But you didn't. Maybe it's you that can't really kill people.", Meg murmured, poking his chest.

-"You have no idea what you're talking about.", Jon gritted his teeth.

-"Oh I think I am! You were willing to sacrifice your own sister just to prove you're worth it to Grimmel!", Meg spoke louder.

-"I didn't know she was living here!", Jon started to get mad.

-"Then why did you stay here and send for Grimmel?!", Meg yelled.

-"I didn't send for him!", Jon yelled back.

-"Then why he's here?!"

-"I have no idea!!"

-"So why did you stay on Berk?!"

-"To protect Hazel!"

Silence.

-"Protect Hazel?", Meg asked more calmly.

Jon sighed and walked to the wall to lean his back on it. He lifted his head to stare at the ceiling.

-"Yes. I am suppose to work for Grimmel. But only because it was my way of finding Hazel again. And now I've found her. The moment I knew she was alive, my mission had changed. Now I'm here to protect her. Even if she hadn't caught me, I would have stayed in the shadow and protect her.", Jon told Meg before turning it back to face her, "She's my everything.", he finished.

Meg was almost like frozen on her feet. She couldn't find her words. So she shook her head and swallowed hardly. She turned her eyes away, avoiding his eyes. She heard Jon laugh and sitting back on the stone floor.

She sighed. She went to the closest spot next to him, the bars still between them.

-"Hiccup is my brother. I don't know what Grimmel asked you to do him but even if you don't believe me, I would have killed anyone if he would have gotten hurt. I wouldn't have hesitated, you have my word.", Meg said fiercely.

Silence.

-"I believe you."

Meg jumped surprised and looked back at Jon, who was playing with his little rocks. His eyes were not the ice cold she always saw, but more like soft and sad blue.

She stared at her fingers and poked her nails.

-"What did you say to Astrid?"

-"What?"

-"Astrid?", Meg tried again, "The blonde girl you talked to sooner. What did you talk about?"

Jon blinked and laughed.

-"Nothing. Just tried to know more about her. She's really kind.", Jon grinned.

-"I swear to god if you-", Meg jumped back on her feet, her anger back.

-"Easy! I'm not going to hurt her. I uh, I really mean it. She's really nice... and pretty.", Jon stood and lifted his arms in defense, then a sincere smile appeared on his lips.

Meg blinked, totally taken aback. But her serious face came back the following second.

-"You better. Or else I will-"

-"Kill me?", Jon smirked.

Meg groaned and was about to retort when a loud explosion could be heard outside.

-"Meg! We're under attack!!", Astrid suddenly showed up at the doorway.

-"Urgh! Go help the people out of their houses and lead them to the Great Hall!", Meg ordered.

Astrid nodded and Meg was about to follow her.

-"Wait! Lemme out!", Jon pleaded.

-"And why would I? Why shouldn't I believe you're gonna help Grimmel get what he wants?!", Meg asked.

-"Oh come on! I thought we bonded?", Jon scoffed.

-"Errr..", Meg turned to leave again.

-"No please! Let me out!"

Meg turned to stare at him one more time.

-"You will be able to lock me up again right after but please, I need to make sure Hazel is safe! Please!", Jon begged.

Meg saw the scare of losing his sister in his eyes.

She groaned and went to catch the keys on the wall and opened his cell.

-"Don't make me regret it.", Meg said.

Jon nodded and they both ran outside.

Fires were surrounding them. Smoke soon filled their nose and they coughed. Meg was trying to find her way through the burning houses with the help of Jon. She looked everywhere until her eyes fall on a girl, behind a wall, staring at them.

She had dark brown hair, spread on her shoulder, a blue shirt on and blue eyes watching them. She gave them a frown and disappeared behind ashes.

-"Leila?"

Meg looked at Jon, agape.

-"You know her?!", Meg gasped.

-"I'll tell you later, now's not the time. We need to find Hazel and Hiccup. Come on!", Jon said.

Meg looked again at the spot where that girl was before running by Jon's side, both looking for their siblings.
