The last thing she heard before she let unconsciousness take her was;

"Please… Please work…"

Chapter 4

5-year-old Hazel sat at a table, her father sitting on the opposite side, a cylindrical device and some lenses on the table between the two. The Chief telling story after story about his adventures with the 'Dragon Eye' on Dragon's Edge as a young adult, little Hazel listening with wide eyes.

7-year-old Hazel perched in front of her mother on a blue Deadly Nadder, her arms in the air, a wide smile on her face as the dragon soared higher into the sky. Her mother smiled down at the girl as she held on to her daughter tightly.

9-year-old Hazel listening to her Grandmother and Grandfather sharing stories, some from the 'Sanctuary' her Grandmother lived in for 20 years, others of her parents as kids, and of great battles they fought.

10-year-old Hazel stood next to 6 other kids by the lakeside in a Cove, vines and plant life covering the stone walls. The kids all suited up in their swimming attire ran into the water, their mother's watching and talking on the sidelines.

11-year-old Hazel walking with her father down by the docks as she tried to settle a dispute between two fisherman, her father watching with a proud smile at her leadership abilities.

Memory after memory flooded in through Hazel's mind until the last one, and most recent, made its nasty appearance.

12-year-old Hazel was struggling in strong, meaty hands as she was dragged towards the back of a boat towards the bottom of the ship. She looked up with terrified eyes to see the same expression displayed on her parent's faces before everything went black.

*Page Break*

I know this is short, but it is basically just some of Hazel's memories, as well as a little insight to what her childhood was like.

Also, I do know that Stoick died protecting Hiccup from Toothless' plasma blast in the second movie, but I really wanted Stoick to be in this story, and if I feel up to it and you guys want it, possible other stories I could write around this AU.

(And If you noticed I mentioned some other kids *AKA* The other rider's children. We might meet them in this story, or maybe a separate one. I am open for story suggestions on what you want to see in this AU!)

Review and tell me what you think!
