Ok, again I am sorry for the little extra wait, I have been so busy that I almost died of moving, again kidding. anyway, Long Road is doing good so far, in my perspective at least, It is really good. and from the way it looks, Long Road is actually no where near done, if its percentage its about 9% done. I have a lot of plans for it, as well as Day After Tomorrow (Luck 3). the one problem I am having with this story, which is mainly sketched out of 35 pages of a notebook, I cant find the right ending. I get that's its early in the story, but I almost have every important and not so important scene in a book, besides the damn ending, its hard to find an ending for this story because this story does shift between a love story about romance and friendship, to a bit of action and sorrow, that's an FYI, so if you don't like all of that shtuff, then I am sorry for you, enjoy the story :)

"Heather, what are you doing here?" Hiccup asks, confused. Heather has done everything she could to hurt Hiccup and Astrids relationship and comes back looking sad. what the actual fuck is going on. Hiccup does know women usually have a change of heart, to get what they want and leave again, and the man is to stupid to realize what they do. But, he thinks to himself, maybe this is something different, as long as Astrid doesn't see her, he is ok.

"Hiccup" She starts, "I have a lot t tell you, a lot of apologies, lots of everything, but we do not have time for all th..." she doesn't finish as she sees Astrid walking by, and hides in a bush, and Hookfang, well he just sits there, staring at Astrid. of course as Heather was going to say something, Astrid walks by and then toward him, god dammit.

"Hey sweetness" Astrid says, hugging him tightly, her head right under his shoulder. damn him and his tallness. she used to be taller than him by a few inches, but one summer he disappeared and Astrid got worried, when he came back they were same height. and then it only took six months to be at the height he is at now. growth spurts, something that clearly avoided Astrid.

"Hey Astrid, um I have to head down to the forge, I have something to make, yeah I have a s..sad...saddle to make" Hiccup gulps, he stuttered, and he doesn't know why. Astrid smirks and gives him a nice wet kiss on the lips, before hopping down and heading back to the house. that was close he thinks. that could have gone a lot worse, and if it did, Heather would have been a goner for sure, and the last thing he needs is a angry pissed off crazy Astrid running after somebody to kill them, wouldn't be the best thing to happen at the moment.

"Heather, lets go take a walk, so you can explain yourself" She comes out of the bush, and nods, and they go for a walk to the shore. and Hiccup kept thinking that it was a setup, mainly because she lost all the trust he once gave her the day they met, and they all treated Astrid like shit. he wants to forget that day. he was an ass. but if what she has to say is something worth saying, and nothing bad happens. maybe she might have changed, but he cant say for sure. but when they reach the shore, they take a seat on a log right on the golden sanded shore side.

"I know you have no reason to trust me Hiccup, but what I am about to say is true" She starts, and this does in fact worry Hiccup a little bit. but he still thinks it could be a set up and Snotlout is just waiting for him right now, stalking him and waiting for a moment to strike. but he does relax. Hiccup did learn how to use a weapon correctly, so he is good. nobody wants to mess with a sword crafted out of pure obsidian. he never knew it could be done, but it could.

"Go on, I trust you" Hiccup says, knowing well its a lie, and he hates lying, but he wants to know what is going on. and there is only one way he can figure that out, and that's by her telling him what it is. his curiosity is going through the skies limit. he needs to know.

"Snotlout is coming back, give or take a week" She says, and Hiccup stops moving, a sense of fear runs through him. if its true, he doesn't want to have to fight. he has a family, and he doesn't want to eve have a small chance of losing them or them losing him. he just cant. plus, he doesn't want stress of waiting for Snotlout to come if this is all true. god dammit, why?

"Heather, is this really true?" Hiccup asks, hoping she was just joking and they can continue their lives. but she nods, and fear comes back to him. since when did this revenge thing Hiccup calls it, when was this started?

"And I would like to help, Snotlout wants you and you only Hiccup" She says, but that's not all. "And he has hundreds of men waiting to kill you, so I would like to help you overcome him. I know how he attacks, so you can dodge everything he has to use on you" Heather finishes, and Hiccup thinks for a moment. not only would having her on the team help him in many ways, but he could actually end this. she earned some trust, but does he want to take the chance?

She gets worried, does he even want her to help? Snotlout was a abusive basterd, and she wants him gone, but how is that gonna happen if he doesn't want her to help. all she knows is that Snotlout isn't very smart, and Hiccup is. the fight should be an easy one to pick, but not when hundreds if not thousands of people are with him. please say yes.

"You can, if you talk to Astrid, other than that, I cant help you" Hiccup says, and she frowns, its going to be something. they hear bushes move, guessing it was a terrible terror, and continue their talk. damn, Heather does not want to talk to Astrid, only because she knows what she will do to her.

"Hiccup, I don't think I will be able to fight if I see her, she will kill me" Heather says, and Hiccup thinks on what to say, but smiles. "Heather, I have been together with her for almost four and a half years, I had a kid with her. I think I know what she will do." he says, knowing it might not be true on what he says next. "She will freak out, but she will not harm you, I promise" he finishes, hoping its enough to get her to go.

"Ok, I trust you" Heather says and they get up, and walk to Hiccups house.

Hiccup knows whats going to happen...
