Chapter 6

"Help me! Somebody please! Someone!"

Stoic shot up in bed as he heard a tiny voice shouting above the rain "please! Someone help!"

He pulled on his fur coat and rushed outside and saw a little girl running in the rain. She had blond hair and blood running down the left side of her face. "Please! Anyone! Help!" As she limped closer to his house he saw that she was carrying another girl in her arms, and she was unconscious.

Her head looked towards his house and she limped quickly "sir please! Can you help me?" He rushed towards them and grabbed the unconscious girl and ushered the other one inside before quickly following after.

"What happened to ya'?"

She shrugged "we were flying when it started raining. Lightning hit our Zippleback and we fell." Suddenly aware that there was blood dripping over her left eye she yelped and tried to rub it away.

"I'm gonna get the local healer. Stay here and don't go anywhere."

'Duh.' She thought as he walked away.

Lucas walked over to his sister and put a hand on her head "well I think we made it sis'" he said in his normal voice.

He walked over to a chair and sat down. He looked around the room and found that the walls were bare except for one painting.

Curiosity got the best of him and he walked over to the painting. He had bright green eyes and auburn hair framing his face aside from a green tunic and a brown vest he wore a goofy grin plastered on his face. On his right arm he held a shield and in his other hand he held a sword. Behind him lounged a large black dragon with huge jade green eyes and a missing tail fin.

Lucas gasped as his eyes traveled further down and saw that the boy in the picture had no left leg, instead there was a metal prosthetic.

His eyes went wide in shock as he recognized the boy in the painting. It was Hiccup.

It was his dad!

"That was me son. He showed us how to trust dragons with his lil' beast ova' there." Stoic said appearing behind him. "We had it painted the day after he woke up from his coma." Lucas blinked before turning back to his sister "he sounds amazing." Stoic nodded "he was."

Lucas looked up and saw a woman with long brown hair standing over his sister. The woman was very carefully analyzing Anna's head, checking for a bump or a bruise.

"Well she's just got a minor concussion, Other than a huge headache she'll be fine."

Lucas sighed in relief "thank you so much for helping us."

Stoic nodded "of course. If me' boy was here he'd kick me senseless with that leg o' his if he found out I didn't help ye'." Lucas smiled. "By the way, I don't think you told me your name."

Lucas put on a smile and held out his hand "I'm Luna. That's my twin sister Anna."

The brown haired woman laughed "how strange! That's my name as well!"

Stoic suddenly grabbed Lucas by the shoulder "what were you two doing out in this weather?"

Lucas wracked his brain for an answer "we were flying and we got caught in the storm." They seemed to like that answer so they were safe for now.

Suddenly he jumped twenty feet in the air in surprise "oh no! Our Zippleback! We left them in the forest! I have to go back! Tarina's hurt!"

He rushed to the door only to be held back by Anna "no young one I can't let you go out in this storm! You'll look for your dragon in the morning. We both will." Lucas felt tears coming on and he blinked them back "fine." He stated simply as he rubbed his face.

Anna wrapped her arms around the young child and hugged him tightly "don't fret little one. You and your sister can stay with me until your dragon heals." Lucas smiled gratefully "are you sure?"

She nodded "I'm positive. Is that all right Stoic?" The chief shrugged "it's fine with me."

The healer smiled "then I guess you're coming with me!"

(Draco)

Hiccup yawned loudly before opening his emerald eyes and smiling at the beautiful blond in front of him. He shook her gently shook her shoulder.

"Astrid, time to get up."

After a few moments Astrid's sea blue eyes fluttered open and she smiled at the man across from her "morning." She whispered.

"Morning." He said before sitting up and gazing at his beautiful wife.

"I'm going to check on the kids." He said before getting out of bed and walking to the twins shared bedroom "Anna! Lucas! Time to get up!" He said knocking lightly on their door.

When he didn't hear a response he figured that going in and waking them would be easier.

He turned the knob and walked in "guys! Rise and Sh-" His sentence was cut off as he saw the two empty bunks and their closet door ajar. Sighing in relief he walked over and looked in the door, only to find it completely empty, of both kids and clothes.

"But this was full… Oh no…" He said as millions of possibilities flooded through his head.

Right now all he could register was one thing. His kids were gone.

"ASTRID!"

(Berk)

Lucas blinked the sleep from his eyes as sunlight poured into the room Anna had lent him and his sister. He sat up groggily and slipped on his sister's headband. He looked to the bed next to him to see his sister still out cold. He sighed before opening the door and slipping through quietly.

"Have a good nights sleep?" Anna asked him when he walked out.

The blond nodded "yes. Thank you for taking us in."

She smiled "of course." She brushed in front of him and walked into the main room where jars upon jars filled to the brim of herbs of all kinds spilled from the shelves.

"So tell me." She said grabbing one jar off the shelf "how long are you going to pretend to be a girl?"

Lucas froze in his spot as Anna stared into his blue eyes. Anna smirked before turning back to the jar "I'm not like the others. I see things. I knew you were a boy the moment I saw you."

Just as Lucas was about to say something Anna cut in again "and I know those blue eyes anywhere." She said screwing open the lid and pulling out a few leaves. "You're Astrid Hofferson's boy aren't you?" Panic immediately overwhelmed him.

Anna smirked before grabbing a knife and chopping the leaves along with other random herbs "I won't tell anyone who you are." Lucas sighed in relief "but you'll have to work on your disguise and your voice." She put down her knife and walked over to Lucas."

She smiled. "I know just what to do."

Lucas felt his stomach sink, "you're not gonna put me in a skirt are you?"

Walnut glared at his cousin as they walked towards the healers hut. "Jeez you had to hit me with a hammer?" He asked holding his head as they walked. She only nodded before continuing on her walk.

Suddenly a girl popped out of the healers hut.

She had short blond hair and sea blue eyes. Around her head was a circular headband. She wore a long sleeved bright blue tunic that had a black sash tied around the waist. Just below the sash was a black colored fur skirt. She had black leggings and small furry boots.

Shortly after she emerged the healer followed suit.

Walnut, forgetting his pain, rushed over to the hut and stared at the beautiful girl.

"Can I help you?" Her high voice asked.

He held out his hand "I'm Walnut Thorston! Will you go out with me?"

BAM!

The girl growled as her fist connected with the boy in front of her. "For a girl you punch hard!" He shouted lying on the ground.

The girl rolled her eyes before walking away. Anna followed the girl after promising to help Walnut after she was done with her errands.

(Forest)

"I can't believe you put me in a skirt!" Lucas shouted as he marched through the trees.

Anna snickered into her sleeve "well everything you wore made you look like a boy!" Lucas glared at the older woman behind him before marching on.

"We landed a little further up." He said pointing straight in front of him.

They marched through the woods before Lucas spotted something black and gold up ahead. "There! It's our dragons!" Without even waiting for Anna he ran towards the Zippleback and threw his arms around Torin's neck.

Torin lifted his head and licked his owners face "oh I missed you! Who's a good dragon? Who's a good dragon?" He cooed scratching the dragon under its chin.

Anna burst through the trees panting for dear life "child you are the fastest boy I have ever met!"

Lucas smiled before turning back to his dragon. "Tarina." He said to the other head. The black head turned to her and brightened immediately at the sight of her rider's brother. She craned her neck to lick his face but quickly pulled back to look at her wing.

The two humans crept over to her side and gasped.

She hadn't been burned, since dragons are fire proof, but her wing now had a large tear in it.

She whimpered when Anna gently touched it.

The healer sighed before stepping back to examine the damage "well I've seen dragons tear their wings before and they've all healed in a week or so, but this is a pretty big tear." She stared at it a little longer "this will take time to heal."

Lucas groaned "great."

Anna turned to him and asked, "Can you see if she can walk?"

Lucas nodded before turning to his dragon. He made a few growling noises and a screech. The Zippleback answered with a screech.

"He said yes."

Anna looked at the child before her in wonder. "What on earth did you just do?"

"I spoke to him in dragonese."

"Where on earth did you learn dragonese?"

"My dad." He stated simply "I learned everything there is to know from him."

Anna opened her mouth to say something but was cut off when the gold and black Zippleback began to walk away. She shook her head clear of her thoughts and ran to catch up with them.

(Healers Hut)

"All right you go and see if your sister's up, if she is make her eat this soup while I patch up Walnut. Honestly boy can't you learn not to make your cousin angry?"

Lucas nodded and carefully walked down the hall balancing the boiling hot soup.

He pushed open the door and gasped before mindlessly dropping the bowl to the floor,

"ANNA!"
