Hiccup and his brother, Connor, explore how far Stoic will go in order to keep his sons safe. he thinks they'll forgive, but they might not. OC Connor is me, Toothcup later in the story but that's about how far it'll go, probably. This is based off of Snowflower Frost's 'The Real Hero', go read it to see what might happen and what will happen.

Lies & Deception

Chapter 7: When everything goes south

Hey guys, before you start reading this I want to make something clear that no one has pointed out yet, the chapter 'Letter from the editor' I had Gobber tell Astrid that the day she read the page was Connor's birthday and the day that he lost his lower right leg, I have to say that Astrid didn't remember that part so no one except for Connor, Hiccup, Stoic, Gobber, Gothi, Toothless and Stormfly knows this.

Chief's Home- Connor's POV

"I guess it's just you and me now bud." I say as I sit down on the couch. Hiccup left to go to the forge since he has to work today, leaving me and Toothless alone to do whatever we want.

"Yes it is, what shall we do?'' Asked Toothless, placing his snout in my stomach while placing his head on my lap.

"We can do whatever we want; it's just you and me." I hear a bang downstairs.

"CONNOR! GET DOWN HERE!" Boomed dad.

'Shit, what've I done this time?' I thought. I walk downstairs with Toothless behind me. I reach the bottom of the stairs to see dad sitting in his chair, prodding the fire.

'That means he's going to tell me do something I don't want to." I remember. I sigh and sit down in front of him.

"Yes father, you called for me." I politely say, hoping that whatever he tells me to do is slightly better that what I originally thought.

"Son, it's about time that you start shaping up around here, tomorrow you will be cutting down trees in the forest and that shall be your new job." He said trying to sound threatening or something, like I shouldn't answer back.

"Ok, I'll be ready and start 'shaping up'." I sarcastically say, getting up and walk to the door to go outside, not before dad continues his one-sided conversation.

"And you will also…"

"Yeah, yeah, I'll leave Toothless here when I go, don't worry." I interrupt, walking out of the house with Toothless, going nowhere in particular.

30 Minutes later- Connor's POV

I dropped Toothless off at the forge so Hiccup could have some help with the new forging method. We accidently found out that if you use a dragon's fire to melt the metal it becomes stronger and lighter that Gronckle iron but requires a longer time to cool down, and since we don't have any scales I asked Hiccup if he could use this new forging method to create some blades with my specific design. Of course he asked me why, and I said;

"Because I'm making wrist blades as a last line of defense." He didn't object and is still working on it when I left Toothless with him. I walk to the cliffs of Berk, near the docks and sit down with my legs hanging over the edge. I pull out my satchel I always carry with me and pull out a leather band the length of my wrist so it could wrap around it. I look in my satchel to find my little hammer I carry with as well as a little case of twist nails. I place the case of nails on the ground and grab two of them, I go back to my satchel to grab the blade casing where it holds the blades when I'm not using it, I pull out the casing and place it on my lap. I get a the twist nails and place them through the holes I already made at the forge, I grab the casing and place it on the bent parts of the nails in the allocated slots, I hear a faint click signifying that it is locked in place, I twist the nails to that the bent parts can't escape and won't be bent.

'Now, all I need are the blades and we're good to go.' I think to myself as I place my wrist blade in my satchel and walk to the forge. As I got there I saw dad LITTERALY drag Toothless to somewhere, I full on sprinted to the forge to see if Hiccup was hurt, when I get there I see Hiccup on the floor, curled up in a ball and crying his eyes out.

"Hiccup, what happened?" I ask, only making him cry harder than ever.

Few minutes earlier- Hiccup's POV

I'm working on the blades Connor asked me to make, the blades have a very intricate design to them, I don't know why he asked me to make them but I said yes. As I'm about to finish the blades dad comes in, he looks a bit angry but that's how he always looks.

"Hiccup, where is the dragon." He wanted, not asked.

"Umm, Toothless is in the back, why?" I ask, not to sure that happened.

"We're taking him to the Dragon Conqueror!" He almost yelled.

"What, no no no no, don't take him, he's my dragon." I plead, not succeeding in stopping him.

"Who's more merit of the Night Fury. A real hero or a nobody." He said, he grabs Toothless by the saddle and drags him out of the forge. I fall to the floor crying in absolute pain, not physically beaten up pain, pain of losing someone you love. I roll into a ball and cry my heart out. Connor smashes the door open and came to my side.

"Hiccup, what happened?" He asks, I was about to reply but I cried harder than I even knew I could. I pass out from going light headed from crying.

The next day- Connor's POV

"I AM SO PISSED, HOW DARE HE DRAG TOOTHLESS OUT OF THE FORGE!" I scream at the top of my lungs, I don't know why he did it but I saw him dragging Toothless somewhere. I hear a moan behind me and see Hiccup trying to open his eyes and sit up, I swiftly move to his side and place my hand on his head.

"No, sit down, you need to rest, you passed out last night from crying." I say, trying my hardest not to make him cry again, but I know he's going to cry when I ask him what happened.

"Wh.. 's ?" He painfully asks.

"Truthfully, I don't know, I was too busy making sure Stoic didn't hurt you again to see where took him" I confess.

"Hiccup, what happened last night? I saw Stoic drag Toothless out of the forge by his saddle and I ran to you to see if you were hurt, I asked what happened and you cried that badly you passed out." I ask, praying to Odin he doesn't cry, thankfully luck is on my side right now.

" came in take to the Dragon Conqueror." He said, my left eye twitches as I scrunch my right hand into a ball of anger. I get up and walk to the window to try and release some anger but it doesn't work. I see Stoic and Spitelout at the docks talking, I instantly knew that they were talking about; Spitelout is thanking Stoic for getting Toothless to his son, seeing how he 'deserves the best', that would be the only place to take Toothless. I shake that thought and walk back to Hiccup to make sure he isn't in pain.

"Go to sleep Hiccup, you need your rest, I'll take over in the forge as best as I can." I say, hoping he'll agree and fall asleep, which he does. I pull the sheets up to his neck and walk out of the room to the forge. I arrive at the forge with Gobber there already.

"Connor? What are ya doing here? Hiccups supposed to be here." Asked Gobber, probably aware of the events of last night.

"I told Hiccup I would take over for him today so he can rest from last night." I tell, I see Gobber tense when I finish what I was saying.

"Well I don't have a lot of orders here so you don't have to work here."
"Really? Thanks." I thank, just before I walk out the door I turn around to Gobber.

"Hey Gobber, could I have the forge tonight? I have a design plan and I would like to try to see if it will work." I ask, hoping to get a yes.

"Sure, just make sure you don't blow anything up." He says. I thank him and walk to the forest because I need to chop trees as my new job. I walk to the clearing where there are several Vikings there, waiting for me.

"You're late!" One of them says.

"Deal with it." I say, not really giving a shit if they threaten me. One of them gives me a huge axe to cut with, I grab it and hold it with ease, which some of the other Vikings stare in amazement that I could hold a regular axe without help or dropping it. I get told to cut the trees that the other Vikings are chopping, they all stop and take enjoyment in watching me do their jobs. I stop chopping and turn around to them.

"Are you going to chop and carry or are you to weak?"

"HEY, WE'RE MORE VIKING THAT YOU'LL EVER BE!" One of them yells and me and walks over to me. I stand my ground with a blank face.

"Really, so being a Viking is watching a small boy do the work of 5+ Vikings? Where do I sign up." I playfully say. Earning some grunts from them and they start chopping trees again.

Night Time-Connor's POV

I'm walking home because I finished chopping trees and the fact that they don't seem to want me there which gives me more of a reason not to work a tree chopper. As I walk down the dark, empty, foggy streets of the center of town I notice a shadow in the corner of two houses, I keep my hand near my Bowrd and I keep walking to the forge. When I see the forge I see the door slightly open, as I get to the door I see two shadows go behind the forge, I close the door and go around to see who it is. When I get behind the forge I find no one there, as I turn around to go into the forge someone stands in front of me and tries to hit me in the head, I move my head to the side to avoid the blow but I get hit in the shoulder, whatever the weapon was it had spikes and it punctured my shoulder, I turn around and go to my knees to try and inspect the damage.

'Shit, why did I do this?' I think as the weapon hit me again in the head, effectively knocking me unconscious.

Oh no, what's going to happen to me? Sorry there wasn't any blood like I said but I had a thought, I won't share it but I will try to add some blood, I will have the Outcasts in this story as well. Also when I'm able to update faster I'll start a new story based on the Riders of Berk series but me included, that is something I might do, I'm not entirely sure. Anyway I'll be typing chapter 8 so hope ya enjoy, also I will be basing this story off of another Fanfiction 'Running-Scared', I've used as much as I can possibly do with one story basing and I really need a way to make this story seem better.
