Let them know

I'm not me

"Vylma isn't home!" Magnhild ran down the stairs to inform the rest of the family and looked at them with worry. "She always comes home and makes sure I know about it." she looked around the room and ran to the front door and was about to open it but her father stopped her.

"Magnhild," he said and looked at his three kids. His sons sitting by the table eating breakfast and his daughter who was about to storm out of the room. "we need to talk about something."

Finn leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. "It better be important. I have someone I need to meet and I don't want her to wait."

Stoick laughed and punched his brother on the arm. "You have a secret girlfriend." he teased.

Finn frowned. "No."

"It's Thora. Isn't it?"

Finn glared at his brother and punched him on his shoulder. Stoick continued to laugh.

"Stoick. Finn." their father said to get their attention. "Your mother have already said a Hofferson will not marry a Jorgenson." he joked.

Astrid chuckled. "The only problem is that he is a Haddock." she stopped and realized something and turned to her husband.

"You don't think she needs to change her last name, do you?" she wondered worried.

Stoick frowned. "Who needs to change their last name?"

Hiccup shook his head. "No, I don't think so. I don't see a reason for her to change it." Ignoring Stoick's question.

"Where's Vylma and what do you have to tell us?" Magnhild sat down on the chair opposite of her oldest brother and their parents sat down on the short sides of the table, the seat between Astrid and Magnhild was empty. The seat Vylma should be sitting in.

"It's about Vylma," Hiccup began. "She came home last night with some...shocking news." he didn't really know how to explain all this. He hadn't really grasp what was happening.

He and Astrid had been awake almost the whole night thinking of what had happen to their oldest daughter. The urge to fly to Barvik to speak to Vylma and know more about this whole thing was unbearable. Valka was the one who assured them that Vylma was fine and they would know everything today or tomorrow. Valka then followed Vylma to Barvik and when Hiccup and Astrid argued that they would follow, or at least one of them, Valka told them they had three more children to think about and tell them about the news of their sister.

"Vylma saved a village yesterday and with those actions she became their queen." The room went silent after Hiccup's one sentence speech.

Finn raised an eyebrow at this information. "Are you serious?"

"Is this a joke?" Stoick asked and narrowed his eyes.

Magnhild laughed at the news. "What? No, she can't be." her laughter faded when her father looked at her with an serious face. "Wait, you're serious?"

"He is serious," Astrid started and got her kids attention. "Even if we are against it. It is true. Your sister is the queen of Barvik. We've seen the the contract and she has signed it. We will try to talk them out of it."

"So she came home yesterday?" Magnhild questioned. "And told you this? But how did she save them? And from what?"

Astrid shrugged. "We don't how. She left as quickly as she came."

Magnhild pushed the chair away from her and slammed her hands down on the table. "Where is she?" she asked and looked between her parents.

Hiccup stood up from the chair. "She'll be home today or tomorrow. We want answers as much as you do and we can wait for those when she and your grandmother gets back."

Stoick tilted his head and frowned and asked puzzled. "Grandma is there too? Why did she go and not one of you two?" he gestured to his parents.

Finn stood up from the table and walked towards the door. He had someone who waited for him and he could get the answers about his sister later. "Okay, so now we just wait for her to come home so we can get answers," he open the front door and Lyrke ran around the corner of the house to greet him. "while we all try to go back to our everyday lives." he closed the door and patted Lyrke as they walked towards the great hall. Thora was waiting for them.

"There you are," Thora said when Finn climbed down to the secret room and Lyrke came down after him. "I started to wonder if you weren't gonna show up."

Finn walked up to the desk and sat down on the chair. "Sorry, I got some... interesting news about Vylma."

Thora sat down on the chair on the other side of the desk and had a frown on her face. "What news? Have something happen to her?"

"No, well yes but she isn't hurt or something like that." he placed his arms on the desk and his shoulders relaxed. "She will have to explain everything when she comes home today or tomorrow." he gave Thora a smile and he hoped she wouldn't continue this conversation.

Thora narrowed her eyes at him. "Come home from where?" she tried and waited for this conversation to continue.

"It's not my…. thing to tell and we should just let this slide. You can ask her when she gets back." He said quickly and tried to change the subject. "We have other thing to talk about." His hands folded on the table, closing this conversation.

Thora sighed and slumped down in the chair with a frown on her face. Finn couldn't help but think she looked cute like that.

They talked about how Thora tried to take her head out of the negative thoughts that clouded her mind. The thoughts that made her think she wasn't worth to be a Jorgenson and she wanted to tell her parents how she felt, but she couldn't find the words how she would start that conversation. How would they react? Maybe they would be disappointed that she wasn't perfect. That she had all these thoughts about her and them.

Finn listened the whole time and gave as much advice and comfort as he could. He knew she just wanted to rant to someone she could trust and wouldn't tell anyone else what she told him. Which he hadn't and wasn't planning too.

Even if she felt weight lifted from her shoulder everytime she spoke about this subject, about her struggles. Tears would flow at the the end and Finn hugged her until she released herself from the hug and dried her tears with her hands. She would calm herself down to get her breathing even before she said thank you to Finn and she would take a flight with Ray.

"I don't believe her." Magnhild slammed the pen down on the design papers she still was working on. She still had problem on how she would active the shield. "This whole queen thing seems unbelievable and ridiculous."

Stoick wiped the soot from his hands with a cloth as he walked towards his sister. "It feels unreal and yes ridiculous, but if mum and dad believe in all of this, then I'll believe our sister is a queen." he leaned on the table and crossed his arms over his chest.

Magnhild shook her head and took the pen in her left hand again. "Or it is that I don't want her to be queen." she whispered to herself, feeling a lump of loneliness and all of this would lead to something horrible.
