Oh and please READ THE FINAL NOTES, THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED YO TO READ DOWN THERE!

I hope you like this chapter! And don't forget about the one-shot! XD


Chief Stoick,

I know how our visit two weeks ago left you worried, and as promised I'm informing you of the news.

It is with great relief that I can tell you that Hiccup is with us again. We didn't exactly find him… more like, he was the one finding us. He's Hiccup after all, what could we expect?

Well, I wouldn't be writing this letter if we could visit Berk instead. It's just that, his condition isn't the proper one to fly. From what we know, it appears that the Dragon Hunters were the ones behind his disappearance. Yes, that's all we know. Hiccup hasn't been talking much…

I don't want to leave you worried sir but you're his father after all. About his condition, we're positive he'll be fine. He sure will if it depends on me.

We promise to visit as soon as possible, either when Hiccup's able to fly or the weather calms down.

I understand if you want to know more so please, ask for more news if you need.

Astrid Hofferson.

Astrid finished writing the letter to Stoick. She was supposed to do this as soon as Hiccup appeared but… those had been busy days.

Fishlegs was sitting near the fireplace, reading a book. Nothing new…

Neither was the situation the twins were in. They were hanging upside down from two wooden beams supporting the house's walls, exactly where they started to form a tight angle, converging to form the roof.

Their legs were crossed around the beams and they threw Chicken to each other. The poor bird wasn't finding that game amusing, because every time one of the twins threw her, the chicken clucked, obviously offended.

Snotlout snored on the other corner of the building, his helmet over his eyes like he always did.. Hookfang was perfect to keep his butt warm after all.

Astrid read the letter all over again and, satisfied with the result, rolled the paper in a tube and tied a small cord around it.

She couldn't send it right away; the weather was just too awful. With these gusts, the poor Terrible Terror responsible by delivering the letter wouldn't even leave the Edge. He would most likely be thrown against something and that wasn't what she pretended. That and if the weather at Dragon's Edge was bad, she didn't want to imagine how it was back at Berk.

The riders rested peacefully, listening to the cracking of the fire and the storm outside. Astrid wondered if Hiccup and Toothless were still sleeping and hoped that the cold and the noise wasn't enough to wake them up.

She allowed herself to relax for a little bit and started sharpening her axe leisurely.

Suddenly to the sound of the fierce wind outside joined the sound of heavy, hysterical footsteps on the wood. A huge THUM! soon joined the noise.

"Was that a knock on the door?" Fishlegs asked, raising his nose from the book about botany.

"I think it was a thunder! I love those!" Tuffnut yelled. Chicken clucked again when the boy almost didn't catch her.

THUM!

Astrid almost threw her axe at Snotlout's face when the boy woke up with a start thanks to the loud noise.

"I think the door has thunders!" Ruffnut yelled, certainly excited.

"Someone's knocking you muttonheads!" Snotlout complained.

"Hey, we're not the ones who woke up scared with the Thunder-door!" Ruffnut replied.

"Guys, shut it!" Astrid demanded, looking at the door.

THUM THUM THUM THUM THUM

Ok someone was outside in the storm, knocking on their door and that someone did NOT look happy.

She wondered who would be crazy enough to just BE outside.

Call me if something happens… She had told Toothless.

Could it be the dragon? Or Hiccup himself?

Astrid literally flew to the door and with no further delay, removed the wooden lock and opened it.

"Hey what are you doing, the cold will freeze my beautiful face-" Snotlout started but stopped as a human walking-like Toothless stepped inside, his wings shielding his stomach and front paws from the furious wind.

Astrid recovered her balance after the flying lizard's sudden visit and closed the door to prevent the fire from extinguishing.

She saw Toothless' worried eyes and deep down that sarcastic look he and his rider shared, as if he was saying: Really? You couldn't linger more?

"What is it Toothless? Is it Hiccup?!" She asked, her heart in her hands.

She noticed the dragon's wings shaking and a few cries coming from there. Hiccup.

The twins jumped from where they were, much for Chicken's relief, Snotlout forgot his nap and Fishlegs dropped the no longer interesting book on the table.

Toothless unfolded his wings revealing a shaking Hiccup. Astrid held a gasp and opened her arms to catch the unconscious boy as Toothless dropped his rider, returning then his front paws to the ground. The form Toothless had walked in had been funny on other days.

Astrid calmly laid Hiccup on the ground but regretted it when the boy started knocking his head on it wildly.

"Oh Thor!" Snotlout shouted, in complete shock. He, just like the twins had heard about Hiccup's attacks while he was unconscious during two days after his arrival, but they never saw one. Fishlegs cried with his oh oh oh's and the twins were just too confused to react.

Astrid almost screamed when he started hitting his head on the ground; the sound echoing through the place.

"He's gonna end up with a concussion!" Fishlegs despaired and he didn't have to. Astrid's shaking hands and arms picked Hiccup from the floor and hugged him as the boy flounced in her arms.

"What's happening?" Tuffnut asked. "Why does it look like H is having a heart attack?" He asked like a six year old.

"I think he's having a convulsion!" Fishlegs informed.

"And what am I supposed to do then?" Astrid asked, completely freaked out.

"I- I don't know. Just keep his head away from the ground until it stops!" The chubby boy tried.

Well, that didn't help Astrid at all.

Hiccup started mumbling something impossible to make out but Astrid had a hint on what he was dreaming about.

"Come on Hiccup." She said softly, trying to stop her voice from cracking. Hadn't he suffered enough already? "It's okay. I hum… we're all here. Look, Toothless is here." The black dragon bumped his head on his rider's one but ended up by receiving a head blow.

They waited from 5 to 10 minutes until Hiccup finally stopped flouncing in Astrid's arms. A few tears escaped from his closed eyes. How? No one knew. They didn't know anything actually.

He went limp and Astrid sighed. She looked up at her friends around her and Hiccup and her gaze focused on the letter. It would probably take much more time before they could visit Berk again and she wondered if she was be lying to the chief about the no-need-to-worry-he'll-be-okay part.

"I'm so done with those Dragon Hunters!" Snotlout complained. "No one does this to Hiccup! No one!"

"Oh you actually care." Tuffnut played, although he seemed pretty shaken up with what they just saw. They all were shaken up.

"Is there a way to just heal his mind trouble?" Ruffnut asked while Toothless laid near his rider and curled his tail around the boy and Astrid consequently. He couldn't help but thinking about his nightmare.

"I heard that some traumatized Vikings recovered because they went through the same thing again. If we recreate the same thing that he went through then maybe it works." Snotlout said.

"Uhhh yeah… but he didn't share what happened." Ruffnut replied.

"Hum… it's pretty obvious thought. Ryker has a deep voice and he was probably tossed to a dark place." Tuffnut answered simply, shrugging his shoulders.

"No one is tossing Hiccup to a dark place!" Astrid snapped, hugging Hiccup tightly subconsciously.

"But it might work! Right Fishlegs!?" Snotlout asked.

"Well… yeahhhh. It might…" The boy answered.

"See!" The Jorgenson turned to Astrid. "It might!"

"But it also might NOT!" She replied angrily. "No means no! Fishlegs do you have something to keep him calm?" Astrid pointed to Hiccup with her chin.

"I have some sedatives on my house… I just don't know where." He laced his fingers like he always did when something didn't go as planned.

"Really?" She complained.

"What? I never use them!" The boy answered and Astrid would've face palmed if her hands weren't occupied.

"I'll help you look for them then…." Leaving Hiccup was the last thing she wanted to do, but Fishlegs could be as slow as Meatlug sometimes and she wasn't going to risk sending Snotlout or one of the twins.

Fishlegs handed her a folded blanket and Astrid placed it under Hiccup's head.

She looked at Toothless who had fallen asleep curled around them. The poor dragon was still exhausted.

Carefully she left the dragon's tail embrace and walked towards the door, after Fishlegs; their dragons following their riders.

"Keep an eye on him." Astrid ordered before disappearing in the wind storm outside.

Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut looked at the unconscious Hiccup on the floor. They wanted to help him, and they were going to!


Uh Oh. What are these muttonheads planning?

They have such ideas sometimes!

-THE IMPOSTANT THING BELOW!-

Ok so please answer me! Do you want the stories I write (not all of them tho) to be connected? Like, the characters have memories from those stories and moments like they have in the episodes? Certain feelings towards certain moment from another fanfic.
