Chapter 2: Alvin and the Outcasts Pt 1

On a small grassy island sat two formidable looking dragons as they bathed in the sunlight and relaxed by some of the few trees that were on the island with a small lake by them that eventually turned into a stream that flowed out into the ocean. One of the dragons, that appeared to be a Skrill stood up and stretched his wings while giving off a yawn as a butterfly flew right past his head, however, said butterfly soon was reduced to a little pile ashes that went into the wind from the Skrill blowing a small lightning bolt at it causing the Rumblehorn that was by him to let out a groan as he moved over slightly closer to the tree he was by and went back to sleep.

The Skrill let out a growl and began to find more amusement by terrorizing the local animal life that was on the island while the Rumblehorn continued to sleep as he tuned out the eccentric Skrill until he felt the presence of lightning going over him and the smell of burnt flesh, a bird maybe, on the tree that was by him. Letting out a grunt the Rumblehorn got on his feet and glared at the Skrill while also giving him an annoyed growl.

"Can you be any more annoying?" The Rumblehorn said in a deep sleepy voice.

The Skrill cocked his head at the dragon before giving off a laugh as he began to jump up and down as he toke a moment to think about the Rumblehorn's question. "I could," The Skrill smirked with a laugh, "I really could Ramhorn, but I know where my fun needs to stop- most of the time anyways." He finished with another laugh.

Ramhorn shot the Skrill a glare before returning to his slumber, but no sooner when his eyes were shut the blasted and insufferable dragon started to jump up and down and causing the ground to tremble beneath him making him shoot his eyes wide open as his pupils turned to slits and his eyes narrowed. He stood up slowly while charging a fireball within his throat as his gaze rested on the purple cretin who had his back turned to the Rumblehorn as he shouted incoherent words while looking out to the sea. The large rhinoceros like dragon finished his intake of air and fired his fire ball at the Skrill with such force he himself was pushed back a little as the flaming ball of fire shot to its intended target. Luckily for the Skrill though he was fast enough to fly up and miss the flaming mass that was directed to him as he watched it shoot out across the sea to the boat that he had spotted.

No sooner after that the side of the Viking ship that was facing towards them blew up with fire covering that part of the ship while the debris flung everywhere in all sorts of directions with some of it even landing close by the two dragons who dodged the flaming projectiles.

"Oops." Ramhorn said as his eyes went big. "You weren't supposed to move Stealth Shocker!" He bellowed only to earn a glare from the Skrill.

"Like that was going to happen to big oaf!" The Skrill sneered. "You're going to give away are position to the Berkians!"

Ramhorn rolled his eyes before looking at the ship again to see some of the crew hurrying to put out the fire that had started while other crew members who were flung into the sea were swimming back to the ship. "It doesn't have Berkian colors," Ramhorn pointed out causing Stealth Shocker to take a closer look, "It appears to be an Outcast ship, hmmm." The Rumblehorn thought to himself. "Why are they doing out here?"

"Probably heard of the Dragon Conquer," Stealth Shocker said earning a quizzical look from Ramhorn causing the Skrill to sigh, "Hiccup earned a name that is being used by all these Viking tribes and they are all convinced that he could deal with any dragon of any kind." The Skrill cackled as he said that last part with a scowl.

The Rumblehorn thought about this a second before turning his attention to the Skrill and grunted grabbing his attention. "We need to report this to Tidalwave," He growled before he toke off into the sky, "Our master will want to hear about this news." The Skrill nodded as he joined him in the sky and flew off into the other direction completely not noticing that a pair of eyes was watching them from the burning ship with a sneer on his face.

"Ay lads, looks like we've been targeted by some dragon's," The leader of the ship said in a thick accent as he glared at the two dragons as they flew away, "We need the dragon Conquer to end our predicament."

Berk was having an overall interesting day for the local residents as they tried to go about their daily lives while at the same time staring up at the sky rather nervously as the giant reptiles that they have fought for years flew around their village and landed on the rooftops as if they belonged there. Some of the people were having a very hard time accepting this, while others were still trying to figure out how this all happened in the very first place! However in a certain household two people had other problems rather than the Berkians as they sat around the fire discussing how they were going to deal with the challenge that was before them.

"This isn't going to be easy," Astrid said as she gazed into the fire, "My parents can be kind of stubborn at times and not the easiest people to talk too."

"It'll be fine Astrid," Hiccup said as he scooted closer to her while placing a hand on her shoulder, "We've already discussed how we're going to tackle this, first we go to your house and explain to them that we would like to spend the day with them and help them with anything they need, they can't refuse that can they?" He said with a big goofy grin to reassure her that everything would be fine. Astrid on the other hand was still thinking about the situation and no matter how much Hiccup tried to reassure her that everything would be ok, her mind would go to darker thoughts about how everything could go wrong causing her to get upset again.

Hiccup's smile fell once he saw her face contort into one of anger, confusion, worry, and then back to anger. Letting out a small sigh Hiccup looked back at the fire that was burning before him as he let Astrid try to think more about plan before he said anymore, but no sooner was the door to the house swung open as Stoick casually walked in and seemed to jump a bit once he saw the two hybrids in his house sitting by each other. His son gave him a blank look while his girlfriend sat there beside him still staring into the fire not even noticing the Chief.

Stoick still wasn't used to his son being a hybrid and wasn't too sure how he felt about his son turning Astrid into a hybrid and how they became more then friends so quickly in such a short space of time, but he didn't argue with it, he had to deal with plenty of that from the Hoffersons themselves mainly Mr. Hofferson, who for some apparent reason wanted Hiccup all too himself.

The large burly Viking shared a moment of awkwardness with the teenagers darting his eyes back and forth as his son did the same exact thing before he mustered up something to say. "Ah," He started catching Hiccup's attention. "May I ask as to why you and Astrid are both here alone in my house?" He asked quirking up an eyebrow at the young couple.

Before Hiccup could speak Astrid sighed before sitting up straight and turning her body to face her Chief with a look of I'm sorry on her face. "Sorry Chief," She started before standing up to address him further making Hiccup stand up as well, "We were just discussing plans for are day." She said causing the Chief to furrow his brow at the statement.

"Plans you say?" he said to himself as he walked further into the room as the two hybrids watched his every move while he toke a seat in his chair that was by the table. "And what might those plans be?" he asked with skepticism in his voice as he brought a mug that was resting on the table to his mouth.

"Ah spending the day with Astrid's parents." Hiccup said nervously causing the Chief to choke on his drink as Hiccup said those words.

"Wha…What?!" Stoick bellowed coughing more up as he tried to speak.

"It's nothing serious dad, we just need to assure Astrid's parents that everything is fine." Hiccup said in a reassuring voice, but was failing to keep his father calm as he saw his father's face turn from one of shock to one of fury.

"Hiccup," he said coughing up the last bit before he spoke, "I will not have my son's head mounted on the tip of a spear!" he shouted causing his son to put up his hands and step back a bit. Even though Hiccup towered over his father by a few inches, he was still quite small in bulk compared to Stoick and when the man yelled he was even more intimidating as if yelling made him taller than Hiccup and more powerful. Astrid on the other hand, who was a full head shorter then Hiccup was not as intimidated as he was since she grew up with the man constantly yelling at just about everything.

"Stoick," Astrid said making the man turn his glare to her as his eyes bore into her soul, "My parents have been the most difficult as of lately then any villager in the village. They need to understand that I'm still me on the inside even though I look different on the outside."

"Way different." Gobber piped up from the door way as all eyes turned on him.

Astrid shook her head ignoring Gobber's comment before she looked back at Stoick again who apparently was nodding his head in agreement to his friends statement. "Stoick," she said catching his attention. "All of this is my choice, I wanted to become a hybrid because I didn't want Hiccup to be lonely and feel that he was the only one of his kind." She said walking up to the Chief while placing her hands over her heart to make more of an emphasis that she truly wanted this. "I chose to become like this, a hybrid." She gestured to herself.

"I feel more powerful and with this power I can not only protect the village, but also your son," she said while turning her head towards Hiccup, "I am a warrior and I will always be a warrior. My duty is first to my tribe and ensuring its safety and now I am more capable of doing that then I have ever been before, this is what I want my parents to see."

Stoick furrowed his brow and stared at the floor for a moment before he looked up at her then at Hiccup. "So why do you need my son's help lass?" he asked with sincerity.

"He's the one that made me this," She responded, "My parents or more so my father, blame him for all of this happening to me, however if we were to show them what we can do together they will change their minds about Hiccup for good and understand my choices."

The Chief soaked in all that was said and contemplated the matter in his own mind and saw no problems with their plan, but felt a little bit jealous that other people would get to know his son more than before he did and if he were to be completely honest with himself he was no better than the Hoffersons on the matter of accepting the new changes.

Confusion and guilt wrapped itself around his mind as to why that all of this had to happen to his son and not to him. Stoick felt weak for not protecting his child when he was taken at the tender age of six by that blasted dragon Scorchclaw and then changed by the demon, The Red Death, into a hybrid and miss nine years of his son's life, nine years of being a hybrid doing who knows what. But he had his… theories of what Hiccup was doing.

Before he could respond though Astrid and Hiccup were already making their way to the door with Gobber stepping to the side to let them through. "We're going to try to make things right dad," Hiccup said looking over his shoulder at his father, "We want the people of Berk to see that change can be good, and when the time comes… I hope that you can see it too." He muttered the last part low enough to where Stoick and Gobber couldn't hear it as they went towards Astrid's house.

Stoick sighed once more when he heard Hiccup muttered and where his son thought he didn't hear, he heard it knowing full well what the boy was talking about. "He's wrong Gobber if he thinks I haven't accepted him as who he is," Stoick said while rubbing the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

"Are ye sure?" Gobber asked giving him a skeptical look. "Because I'm still trying to get used to this new look of his, the wings, the tail, he nearly gave me a heart attack when I went to my shop last night and he was in there. Thought he was one of my ancestors who went down instead of up and came back to haunt me."

Stoick rolled his eyes at his friends comment and continued to look at the door where his son had just been a few moments before. "My son, why do you have to make things so complicated sometimes?" Stoick thought to himself, "Maybe Gobber is right, am I sure that I have accepted him? If not then I have to try."

The two hybrids continued to walk from the Chiefs house straight to the Hofferson's while along the way earning a few looks from the weary villagers who weren't quite sure how to act around two beings such as Astrid and Hiccup causing them to keep their distance from the couple and talk in quiet tones. This did not go unnoticed by the hybrids however and even though it hurt a little they knew that if they didn't try people would always be cautious of them.

Hiccup though looked more like the nervous one out of the two of them as they approached the Hofferson home with each step that seemed to only get heavier and heavier as they came closer to their destination. No sooner, were they both standing in front of the door and with a heavy sigh Astrid opened her door and allowed them in only to find that her father was sharpening his axe by the table and her mother over by the window sitting in a chair while reading a book. They both looked over at the two new comers and suddenly the air was so thick that it could be cut with a knife with all the emotions that began to stir right then and there.

Mrs. Hofferson had a very strong presence to her that would make most men quake in their boots by just looking at her even though she was a smaller woman then most Viking females. She stood no taller than 5'8 and had a very slim build to her with two piercing green eyes and long flowing brown hair that went to the small of her back. She wore a dark brown dress that went all the way down to her boots while her arms were exposed, but her shoulders had silver shoulder guards over them while on her head she wore a decorative head band, much like Astrid's.

Mr. Hofferson on the other hand was a tall and lean man unlike other Viking males who were just bulky and stout. He had blonde hair with braids in it, while his bread was nice and short. He wore a green tunic that was covered by an iron breast plate and wore a belt around his waist, while on his head he wore a Viking helmet. His cold blue eyes stared at the couple before him, mostly Hiccup, waiting to see what they wanted.

Finally after a moment of silence Astrid finally spoke to try and ease the tension. "Mom… dad," She said as both her parents eyes went to look at her, although her father kept Hiccup still in his line of vision to make sure he was there. "Me and Hiccup were wondering if we could, uh, spend the day with you guys?"

Mr. Hofferson quirked an eye brow, while his wife stood up from her chair and carefully made her way over to her daughter and Hiccup, eyeing them both as if she was looking at an enemy for any weak points. "And why would you want to do that?" She asked as she got up right in Hiccup's face making the young man feel extremely uncomfortable as those two green eyes seemed to look into his soul. "Since when did we start to matter to you?"

"Mom please, not now…." Astrid said causing her mother to look right at her.

Her mother looked her up and down before she looked over at her husband, who had been standing them the entire time with his arms crossed and a glare on his face. "What do you think honey?" Mrs. Hofferson asked. "Would you like to spend the day with them?"

Mr. Hofferson narrowed his eyes as he thought about the question in mind. "Hmmmm," he said, "I've got multiple things that I have to do and I really don't need anybody getting in the way." He said while staring at Hiccup causing the young hybrid to give him a sheepish smile.

"How about you take our daughter and spend some time with her and have her help you with your chores." Mrs. Hofferson said before she stared back up at Hiccup with a nice smile. "And I'll have little Hiccup come with me to the forest to gather berries. Just like when he was younger."

Astrid's eyes went wide and was about to interject by telling them that this was a stupid idea, but before she could speak her father cut her off. "This is our decision Astrid, if you both want to spend time with us then you will have to do it by are terms, ok?" he said in a forceful tone.

His daughter's eyes narrowed and she shot him a glare, but soon realized that it was useless to argue with him and thinking about it a bit more this was a step in the right direction even though they wouldn't all be together like her and Hiccup had planned to do. Speaking of Hiccup he looked as if he was going to pass out as he looked down at her mother who kept on giving him a cheerful smile as if this was going to be a great day.

"Well," she said to herself, "This will be rather interesting."

Within the Berkian forest Mrs. Hofferson and Hiccup were moving around holding two big baskets as they went about collecting berries in an awkward silence. Hiccup couldn't have had felt more uncomfortable being around this small, but deadly woman, as she just hummed to herself while collecting more berries pretty much ignoring Hiccup in the process. They hadn't talked at all since their time together, which made Hiccup worried with what she was thinking about and began to wonder the worst of what she was planning on doing with him.

He absentmindedly began just to pick random berries and threw them in his basket as his mind drifted off thinking that the Hofferson's had somehow known that he and Astrid were planning something like this and prepared to have them separated so that one of the parents could keep Astrid far away when the other one would end him. No sooner after he thought that though he felt a smack on his right shoulder causing him to yelp in surprise and almost throw the basket in the air, if it wasn't for the quick reflexes of Mrs. Hofferson in grabbing his keeping him from doing throwing it all over the area.

"Hiccup," She said sternly catching his attention and looked at her in shock, "I did not teach you to pick those types of berries when you were five." She said while pointing to some red berries that were among the blue berries in his basket.

"Or have you forgotten all that I have taught you since you had become a hybrid?" She said with a scowl.

Hiccup shrunk for a second remembering how the older woman had taught him a great many things in his childhood being somewhat a surrogate mother to him. Mrs. Hofferson had been there for him ever since his mother was taken away, hence why him and Astrid became such best friends when they were little as her mother would always take them to the forest and teach them how to survive out in the wild.

While Hiccup was remembering his past Mrs. Hofferson was taking the red berries out of his basket and threw them away till every single one was gone. She then looked up at Hiccup making him look back down at her with a small grin as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck while chuckling lightly. "Sorry Mrs. Hofferson," he apologized, "I just wasn't thinking at the moment." He said while going back and picking more berries.

"Start thinking then Hiccup." The older woman scowled causing Hiccup to look down at the ground as her eyes bore into his being before going back to pick more berries.

After a few moments of silence again Mrs. Hofferson decided to break the tension again, but this time she asked some questions. "So Hiccup," she said in a sweet voice instead of her stern one from before, "What was it like to be a Hybrid?"

Hiccup's eyes went big as he stared down at the bush in front of him not expecting her to ask him that type of question, but quickly recovered before he gave his usual answer. "You know, since I was a hybrid I was kind of an outcast amongst dragons. Not like that they treated me badly or anything, but I was just different, life was good overall though." He said with a smile as he gave his usual response to everybody who asked him that question and then left it alone, however he wasn't aware that the woman that was next to him was not everybody.

"What was your normal day like as one?" she asked catching Hiccup a little off guard by her next question.

"Ah-ah…wel-well-well…you know," he said while stuttering. Usually people would be satisfied with his first answer and not ask anything more; he wasn't counting on this at all. "I slept, I ate, I played with my nest family."

"Nest family?" Mrs. Hofferson asked, "You mean that blue Stormcutter dragon, along with that Night Fury and those other dragons that Astrid had mentioned about? Those are your family?"

"Well I would be surprised if they weren't my family," Hiccup replied, "They been with me for nine years of my life."

"Ah, so then did they teach you how to behave and act like a dragon then?" she asked glancing over her shoulder.

"There dragons, of course they would." Hiccup replied a little worriedly. "I still however though behave like a human, which made me stand out from the nest."

"Didn't you wonder in those nine years why you were a hybrid?" she pried some more.

"Of course," Hiccup said while grabbing a handful of berries and putting them in a basket, "I would always ask, but they never gave me a real response."

"They?" Mrs. Hofferson said while turning her body to look at Hiccup's back.

"Ya, I mean, my dragon mother Blueray said I was a gift from the God's." Hiccup said.

"Ha, that's pretty nice of her to tell you that," Mrs. Hofferson replied.

"It was just to keep me safe," Hiccup said as his left hand started to shake.

"Who else wouldn't give you a real response?" She asked noticing the boys shaking form.

"My, ah, mentor." Hiccup said as his eyes darted back and forth from the basket, to the bush's in front of him and a tree.

"Mentor?" She said.

"Ya, ummm, I'm sure Astrid told you about Scorchclaw and all that." He replied as he set his basket down by him and sat on his knees while he went back to picking berries.

"I'm aware of him," She replied, "What kind of mentor was he? What would he have you do for training? What type of fighting did he have you do? What did he do to you?!" She said with her voice a little higher causing Hiccup to stop and look down at the ground with a sad look.

"Did he teach you to prey upon the weak?!" She asked walking slowly up behind him. "Did he teach you to not have any mercy, to show no compassion, to use others and look for every chance to exploit other people!? She yelled causing Hiccup to shrink as he tried to forget all of his master's teachings and what he did to him.

"Tell me Hiccup," She said looking down at the back of his head with daggers, "If you hated your master so much, why do you follow his teachings?"

"I don't," Hiccup replied softly.

"Oh, I think you do boy," she said hovering over him, "Your Scorchclaw seemed to have some sort of impact on you and I want to know everything that you went through."

"I don't," Hiccup replied again, "I don't…. you wouldn't understand what he put me through." He said quietly causing her to narrow her eyes at him.

"He trained me to be something else Mrs. Hofferson," Hiccup replied softly, "Every time I trained he would teach me to have no fear and no remorse for my enemies. He would look down upon me when I did things different from that of dragons and Vikings that wasn't normal in his opinion such as inventing new things to help everybody and if I didn't follow his ways…" He trailed off while remembering the punishments he would have to endure if he didn't follow his master teachings.

"Come on child say it," Mrs. Hofferson she said encouraging him.

"I can't," Hiccup said while he stood up and turned to look at her. "Too many bad memories, memories that I just want to forget, so can we please change the subject."

"Sure," She said with a shrug before she glared at him, "Then why did you change my daughter into a Hybrid!?" She yelled.

"It was her choice, not mine," Hiccup reasoned, "Scorchclaw never taught me how to make people into hybrids; it was just an ability I learned. She wished for it and for some apparent reason right at that moment of time, these… abilities kicked in and just like how I was made a hybrid so was she, except for losing her memory part."

"So she chose to be made into one?" She asked while raising an eyebrow. "You didn't force her or anything?"

Hiccup nodded his head causing her to sigh as she rested her right hand against her forehead, "Agh, that child of mine," she groaned, "Always making rash decisions without even thinking about it."

"I thought she told you that it was her choice and that she wasn't forced into it?" Hiccup asked causing her to look back up at him with a skeptical look. "Why did you need to hear from me to believe it?"

"I'm still having a hard time believing it Hiccup," She said a little more softly as she crossed her arms over her chest, "I need to understand a little more about you and how you have changed since the last time I knew you. So you may not like it, but I need to know how you were raised by dragons. Got it?"

Hiccup hesitated for a moment not wanting to go into some of the details of his past, but if it was going to get Mrs. Hofferson to somewhat see who he really is, then he decided to just go along with it. "Ok then," he said, "What would you like to know?"

"First," she said, "When did Scorchclaw start teaching you?"

"He trained me when I was seven and I would have to say those were some of the hardest years of my life when I was young," Hiccup said as his shoulders sagged slightly and he stared at her feet.

"Ok," she said, "What would he do when you did something wrong?"

"If I didn't do something right he would rag on me all day about it and if I kept doing something wrong, then the punishment came." He said closing his eyes as flames and claws appeared in his thoughts.

Mrs. Hofferson saw his quaking form as he remembered the painful memories making her feel a little more compassionate to the young man as she heard the truth come from his voice. "Why didn't your dragon family protect you?" she asked.

"Not even my nest family knows fully well what he did to me, and when they would see me come home all cut up and burned, Scorchclaw would threaten them that if they tried anything something bad would happen." Hiccup sighed. "My early life as a hybrid was not that pleasant for me, but I didn't want my only family that I had to get hurt because of me so I had to endure it."

Hiccup looked up at her to see that she just stood there and looked at him causing him to sigh and walk over to another bush with berries in it. "I'm sorry for what I have done to your daughter, Mrs. Hofferson. It's hard to see those you love make choices that affect you personally and may hurt you." He said while taking a shaky breath. "I would never hurt her and I will always be there for her, but I can't go on without knowing that I have your support and love as well. My wish is that you can still see that little boy who looked up to you so much, because you were always there for him when he himself didn't have a mother of his own and who didn't know who he was."

Taking another sigh Hiccup looked up to see that Mrs. Hofferson had put her basket down and seemed to have calmed down quite a bit and looked at him with a little bit of… empathy? "I still don't know who I am," Hiccup replied somberly, "I was taken and made into a freak, a monster in other words, then I was found and reunited with my family, but I still feel like there's something more for me." He said softly not noticing the woman slowly approach him from behind and place a hand on his left shoulder, causing him to look back at her to see that her face had really soften and she looked like she cared about his situation.

Sighing Mrs. Hofferson gently rubbed his shoulder while thinking about the young man before her. He hadn't said much too her and was still vague about a lot of what he had to deal with while growing up as a hybrid, but when he said how he looked up to her when he was little and how she was there for him and was a mother to him since his mother was taken by a dragon, had really hit a soft spot for her. When he said those things all she could remember was that sweet innocent little boy that she had taken care of and like everybody else she was devastated when he was taken as a child, but she felt hurt and sadness that could only be related to losing a loved one.

She really liked the boy and loved how her daughter was really good friends with the small lad thinking that they were the perfect match for each other, and when he was taken it was especially hard for her little daughter, but then nine years later he had returned and once she heard that he had returned she was overcome with joy. Except when she saw him she was shocked to not only see that he was a hybrid, but her daughter was too causing questions to form in her head and when they had explained what happened she was beyond furious. She was furious at her daughter for not thinking straight and being turned into a hybrid while at the same time was angry at Hiccup for turning her into one.

Though her anger was small compared to that of her husband's and all those questions she asked Hiccup were her husband's questions. She had to try to get Hiccup to open up to her and find out more about him since none of the villagers, even his own father knew anything about his past, except for her daughter who knew a little, but not a whole lot and never explained anything to her. That was why she was so frustrated about the entire ordeal and her boar headed stubborn daughter didn't help with anything at all. If anything, she was angrier with Astrid then Hiccup about this entire ordeal. It would've been fine if Hiccup would've explained all of this first to her, but with her husband accusing the young hybrid into forcing their daughter to become one and with Astrid being straight up rude to her by saying "this is my choice so you should just accept this" without even talking to her at all, was the reason why she never got a chance to speak with Hiccup.

Her thoughts though were halted when she heard and saw Hiccup clearing his throat and looking rather nervous by her sudden quietness and close proximity to him. "It's alright Hiccup," She smiled, "You're in no trouble."

"Wait… What do you mean?" he asked raising an eyebrow. "Just a minute ago you were yelling at me and now your being all calm all of sudden, do you have some like emotional…"

"Don't finish that sentence boy," she cut him off with a glare, "I'm fully right in my mind ok. I just needed to ask some questions and get to know you more. Gods you would not have made it with my husband if you were with him, all these Thor forsaken questions were his in the first place."

"What?" Hiccup asked, "Is that why…"

"I had us all split up with you with me, yes." She said cutting him off, "My husband really is the only one out of the two of us that's really mad at you, me on the other hand I'm more upset with my daughter then anything."

"But she…" Hiccup began but was soon cut off again by her.

"I know it was her choice, but there's more to that then just that Hiccup," She stated firmly, "It's more of a mother and daughter discussion that we need to have."

Hiccup kept his mouth shut and nodded as she smiled at him again making himself smile a bit. "So are you ok with me at least?" He asked.

"Yes, but," She said quickly, "I'm not used to you being all of this and I still want to know more about you son, I've always admire you and I love the fact that you are with my daughter, probably not with the fact of her being a hybrid though. So I would like for us to spend some time like this in the woods to get to know each other and I can relay everything to my husband."

Before Hiccup could ask to why she had to relay everything to him she hurried and answered it for him. "Like I said before, he's angry with you and I really don't want that lovely head of yours cut off, I'll be somewhat of bridge between the both of ya," She finished with a smile.

Hiccup nodded back to her and gave her a small smile. It was a strange get to know you, but he was glad that at least the wife liked him and was grateful that he had some sort of footing in the Hofferson house now.

However, the moment was short lived when Hiccup started hearing some rustling not too far from them and turned to see who it was. Mrs. Hofferson was also curious and turned to see who it was as well and when a figure appeared out of the bush's her heart stopped and Hiccup bore his fangs at the new comer.

"My my my," The burly Viking said with a wicked grin. "What do we have here? Mrs. Hofferson and I presume this to be the Dragon Conquer? Haha!" he laughed as more men began to surround them.

"Outcasts," Mrs. Hofferson said dropping her basket down and getting into a defensive stance. "What are you doing here Alvin?" She threatened.

"I'm 'ere for the Dragon Conquer you old battleaxe," He sneered, "But I never imagined that the Conquer would be half dragon himself! Haha, this is such a treat!"

Hiccup stood in front of Mrs. Hofferson and spread his wings to cover her from the cruel man that was before them as he snarled more at the Outcast. "Leave," Hiccup threatened, "You are not welcome here."

"Ah are you kiddin' me?" Alvin teased, "This little runt thinks he can threaten us?! Get em lads!" he yelled as Outcasts rushed at them with maces and swords in their hands.

"Well," Hiccup said looking back at Mrs. Hofferson, "Can this day get any worse?" As if on cue an axe was thrown right past him and struck his basket of berries making them all fall to the ground.

Hope you guys enjoy this one, because man it was a hard one to do. Probably one of the longest chapters I have done in my writing of httyd fanfiction, but hey it was a lot of fun to do.

I probably won't post again until after Christmas, but you never know.

I hope you all of a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
