Chapter 4

(7 more years later)

Anna carefully traced a line on a piece of paper, her tongue sticking out the side of her mouth, showing her complete concentration. Suddenly the door was flung open and Lucas walked in with his arms full of papers and brushes "here ya go sis."

"Thank you Lucas." Suddenly there was a whine from the front of the shop "yeah I here you, ya over grown, two headed snake!" Anna said dropping her charcoal pen.

Anna rolled up her map and tucked it into a small compartment. The building the twins are standing in right now is Took's Map Shop. Astrid and Hiccup needed money badly when what they brought with them had ran out so they started working over time to try and bring in something for their kids, seeing her parents working so hard Anna asked around town if they needed help, and finally she found Took.

Took was the towns map maker and was an expert navigator. If you dropped him out in the middle of nowhere he could find his way right back home. Anna did simple things at first, like rolling up the finished maps and alphabetizing them in little cupboards, to tracing out the designs Took had already finished as practice and cleaning up the shop. To this day she's still only allowed to do that but she helps out and she brings in a little money every week.

Lucas however was a different story, like his father he was absolutely terrible in combat training, but he was good with hammer and a sharpener, just like his father he was born to be a black smith. The village of Draco told him that there was an old black smith shop their ancestors used but had long since been obsolete. After a month of scrubbing, dusting, and polishing the shop was back into shape and the two boys got to work on repairing broken weapons and making saddles.

They had a great life.

Suddenly Torin and Tarina whined again "we're coming!" The twins shouted grabbing their saddles and rushing out to their Zippleback.

Tarina and Torin flapped their giant wings and took to the sky. Anna giggled loudly as the clouds brushed past her face and tickled her cheeks.

As they soared high into the clouds the twins felt no worries, no responsibilities, just pure concentrated happiness.

Until.

"Hey people!" A shrill voice shouted. Anna glared at the girl on the nightmare. "What do you want Chestnut?"

The girl flying in front of them was none other than Chestnut; she was 10 years old had long black hair tied into two braided pigtails, brown eyes, a Viking helmet made from Ram horns, a red long sleeved tunic, a black fur skirt, red leggings, a black chest length fur vest, and fur lined boots. She and the twins met three years ago while flying. Since then the three had become friends.

Bickering friends, but friends none the less.

"Nothing. Just came by to brag." Lucas scrunched up his nose and made a disgusted snort "brag about what? Your dad kill a deer with his face again?"

Chestnut stuck out her tongue "no not this time. Our village chief says that if he can't find his son in two months my father is the next chief."

Lucas rolled his eyes "and you're bragging because?"

Chestnut gasped, "You don't know the story?" The twins shook their heads "well then I'll tell you. My parents won't tell me their names but a few years back the son of the chief and his girlfriend disappeared without a trace, they searched everywhere for them but they were never found."

Anna raised an eyebrow "I remember these people from Berk came to our island." Anna started "mom and dad kept us inside…" Lucas finished remembering their exact words.

'If they find you they might take you away from us. Stay here and don't move.'

'But why mama?'

Astrid smiled sweetly at her son 'just listen to mommy honey.'

Lucas shook his head to clear his thoughts. "That's why I'm bragging. They couldn't find him then and they won't find him now. You're looking at the daughter of the next chief!"

When the three parted ways the twins had no idea that the title Chestnut wanted to claim as her own, was theirs all along.

(The next night)

Astrid sighed as she stood in front of her mirror her husband standing behind her "what's wrong?" He asked grabbing her hand "I miss Berk." She said turning around to stare into his emerald eyes "I love Draco off course, they're kind and considerate but I miss Berk and it's vicious way's and everyone's "I'm strong deal with it" attitude. Hiccup I miss being a Viking!" He squeezed her hand even tighter "I do too…"

"We're married now! Doesn't that mean we can go back?"

He bit his lip "I don't know, I don't think-"

She let go of his hand and glared at him before shouting "you were the son of the god damn chief! What do you mean you don't know?" Hiccup glared right back at her, over the years he had grown a backbone and had learned how to stand up for himself "yes it never really occurred to me that my girlfriend and I would have children at the age of 16!"

"Well sorry for not being able to see the future."

"No I'm sorry!"

"Don't you dare talk back to me!"

"What are you gonna do about it?"

"WHY are you YELLING?"

"Because you're yelling!"

"Well I have a good reason!"

"What is it?"

"What's yours?"

Both were red in the face and breathing heavily, suddenly at the exact same moment they shouted "I MISS BERK ALL RIGHT?"

Astrid fell into her husband's arms "I miss everyone so much!" He gently stroked the back of her head "Shh. I know, I know. I miss them too." He grinned to himself "hell I even miss Snotlout."

The blond snickered "I'm not sure I do."

Hiccup smirked "yeah me neither." Suddenly he let out a long yawn "I'm tired. That fight wore me out. Let's go to sleep." She nodded and blew out the candle on their bedside table.

As soon as the light went out a small flash of red flew by their room.

Anna panted heavily as she ran towards her room. "My parents aren't from Draco?" She stopped just outside the room she shared with her brother when something crossed her mind "what in the world is Berk?"

The next morning, when Lucas came by to visit her at work she slammed down a large piece of paper.

"What is this?" He asked opening the piece of paper and staring at it.

There were three islands on the piece of paper. One was labeled Draco, the other was named Durf, and the last was named Berk. His eyes wandered to the corner of the paper and he assumed, from the stories his father told him, was helheims gate.

"It's a map."

"Yeah I know that genius, but why do we need it?"

She smirked "you and me are goin' on a lil' vacation."

Lucas snorted at his sister "okay I'll play along. Where are we going?"

She smirked before pointing at one of the islands.

"Berk."

Yay! Chapter 4 is done! Finally your wait is over my readers! Please review if you review I update faster and the faster I update the happier you'll be. So it's a win/win for everyone! YAY!

And that's an answer to malefan. Someone did look for them, and yes someone did look for them while Astrid was pregnant but I was too lazy to write that in so yeah.

I hope you guys like Chestnut. You have one guess at who her parents are.

Anyway! I own nothing. All rights go to Cressida Cowell and DreamWorks. I only own Anna, Lucas, Torin, Tarina, and the story.

Prepare for Chapter 5. And enjoy the cliffhanger.
