Meg was finally out of the darkness of the hut a few hours after her talk with Hiccup. She wanted to see Ace. She wanted to talk to him, also wanting some answers to her unasked questions. She got close to the jail and was about to walk in when she recognized her brother's voice.

She hide behind the wall and listened.

-"So you were just a spy?", Hiccup said.

-"Yes. I was. I'm not working there anymore but still spying on hunters. That's why I took camp in the Northern Market. There are so many there.", she heard Ace talk.

-"And how are we suppose to believe you?", Hiccup asked.

-"Unfortunately I don't have proves so I guess it's my word against yours.", Ace sighed.

-"I believe him.", Ana's voice echoed.

-"What?!", both guys gasped.

-"Hiccup. It's true that he never hurt me. All he did was bring me food when I was there. I can clearly remember his face.", Ana said.

-"Are you sure?", Hiccup wondered.

-"Yes.", she walked close to the gate of the cell, "And his eyes were more sorry for me and full of guilt. Just like right now.", she talked softly but Meg still caught it.

-Ana-"

-"I can see them again, when I was in that cage, he knelt everytime sliding the plate forcefully so I can reach it and looked over me with a those eyes. I was feeling so... disgusting. But let's say it was the « best » part of the day. Cause thanks to Ace, I could eat and feel a bit more stronger for facing the arena. The other hunters never made the effort to help me reach the plate even if they knew I was chained and strengthless. But Ace did.", she turned to look at Hiccup, "He is a good guy.", Ana said firmly.

Hiccup swallowed but then snapped again.
-"Then why didn't he helped you escape?!"

-"I couldn't risk failing and killing us both. And she couldn't even walk and we had no boat or dragons to get outta here. Besides, I couldn't leave my mission that soon.", Ace explained.

-"What mission?", Hiccup groaned.

-"I... I can't tell. I'm sorry.", Ace said.

-"Why not? If you wanna get out, you might as well tell us now.", Hiccup crossed his arms.

-"Till I didn't get what I need to know, I can't say a thing."

-"Ace. Please. If you don't tell us, you know you'll stay here for a long time.", Ana reasoned.

-"I-"

-"You wanna see Foxy again right?", Ana warned.
Ace blinked and sighed. He rubbed his face and groaned.

-"Alright! But this stays here."

Ana nodded and Hiccup just watched him speak.

-"There is this guy. He works alone but recently I learned he got someone do stuff for him. He kills dragons just for the hunt and also kills anyone that is in his way. He's a master at what he's doing. No one had ever saw him closely so I don't know what he looks like but all I learned is that he has dragons, really dangerous one, that help him fly in some sort of protection cage. I heard when I was on that island, that he was looking for a dragon, a specific one but I have no idea which species is yet. And that he burned so many villages, just to try to find that dragon. That's all I know so far.", Ace finished.

-"By any chance, is that guy named, Drago?", Ana tried.

-"Drago? That coward? Nuh huh.", Ace chuckled, "Drago needs an army to feel strong. The guy I'm talking about is a mad man. A real one. Like I said he works usually alone and trust me, he doesn't need anyone to reach his goal."

Ana sighed.
-"No, he's not the guy who ordered your kidnap. Don't worry. These guys are probably dead by now. And I heard Drago was too.", he reassured.

-"Oh yeah he is. We kinda were the first to learn the news since he died against us.", Ana scoffed, putting her hands on hips with proud.

-"Wow! I'm impressed. Congratulations!", Ace bowed, making Ana chuckled.

Then both turned to Hiccup who still hadn't say a word.

-"Hiccup?", Ana called.

-"So my sister was just an entertainment for passing the time?", Hiccup suddenly asked.

Ace blinked.
-"What- No!", Ace exclaimed.

-"So why didn't you tell her anything about that secret mission huh?", Hiccup asked with rage in his voice.

-"I said couldn't!", Ace groaned.

-"Oh really? So your plan was just to learn about her and never let her know more about you? So you can get information about Berk for your mission then left her agape?! Is that how you usually work?!", Hiccup shouted.

-"What the- No! I wasn't going to leave her!", Ace shouted back.

-"Hn, of course you weren't.", Hiccup gritted his teeth.

-"Guys-", Ana called.

-"I'm not lying! I never thought of leaving Meg for even a second!"

-"I don't believe you!", Hiccup spatted.

-"Of course you're not, you're not even willing to believe your own sister!", Ace returned the subject against Hiccup.

-"I'm worried about her, which is not your case!", Hiccup retorted.

-"Guys-"

-"I'm more worried about her than you could ever think bro.", Ace shouted.

-"Oh yeah?!", Hiccup groaned.

-"Yeah, cause I actually really like your sister!", he yelled at Hiccup's face.

-"GUYS!"

Both jumped and looked at Ana.
-"Meg just ran away!", she pointed to the exit, Meg flying away on Foxy.

-"Shit!", Hiccup didn't wait and ran after her.
Ana was about to follow him when she got stopped by Ace.

-"Wait Ana!"

She turned around and raised an eyebrow.
-"Just... I'm really sorry for what happen to you. I really wanted to help you but felt so dumb when I realized how weak I was. Not a day pass without thinking about the guilt of letting you get tortured by those hunters. I'm really sorry, I wish I could do something to make it up to you..", he sighed.

Ana wasn't expecting apologies. Especially sincere ones. She looked at him then back at Hiccup running.
She sighed and walked over his cell.

-"Do you really like Meg?", she asked.

-"Yes. More than you could ever imagine.", he said sure of him.

Ana nodded then walked over the opposite wall and came back in front of him.

-"Then protect her. That will make it up to me.", she said, putting the key in the gate.
