Astrid's pov:
I was waiting at the stables with Fishlegs, looking for Hiccup. Where is he? Hiccup said that he would be back from patrol in a half hour but he's been gone for two hours. I just hope nothing bad has happened to him. "Astrid, I think I see him!" Fishlegs shouted.
I took the spyglass from Fishlegs and looked out the horizon. I saw him and Toothless flying back to the edge. But there was something else off, I saw a girl riding on the back of a Razorwhip beside him. I thought it was Heather but the Razorwhip was different from Windshear, and the girl on it was wearing black and gold ripped clothes. She has light brown hair and green eyes that were darker than Heather's.
Who is she? Where did she come from? And how did she even meet Hiccup? All these questions kept rattling around in my head as they landed in front of us, the Razorwhip looked at me like I was going to hurt its rider. "Hiccup, where have you been?! And who is this?!" I asked, full of anger.
"This is Dixie and her dragon, Shira. She healed me and helped Toothless. They'll be staying for a while." he explained.
I can't believe that this girl is staying with us! We don't know anything about her or where she's from. She could be a hunter spy for Viggo and Ryker. She'll kill us all if I don't do something. I needed to get Hiccup alone but that was going to be hard with Dixie having him wrapped around her finger. "Astrid, can you show Dixie around the base?" Hiccup asked me.
And my luck just got worse.
Dixie's pov:
I'm grateful that Hiccup invited me to stay at his base but something felt off with Astrid. Every part that she shows me of the base, she kept glaring at me like I was going to break something. I don't know why she hates me. I haven't done anything to her and I just met her. I tried to talk to her but she just kept shutting me up. "Listen here, missy! Hiccup isn't yours for the taking, he's mine. So drop the act and tell the truth. You're a spy for Viggo Grimborn!" She shouted at me.
"I'm not a spy. I'm just a girl from an island full of dragons. I don't even know who Viggo Grimborn is." I explained.
She didn't listen to me when I told her the truth. Astrid then pulled out her ax, did a battle cry, and charged at me with it. Luckily, Shira was keeping an eye on us then she jumped in the way and used her barbs to send Astrid flying towards a tree and stuck to it. "Good girl," I said to Shira as she growls happily.
The other riders must have heard what happened cause I saw Hiccup, Toothless, and four other dragon riders, run this way. "What in the name of Thor is going on?!" Hiccup asked.
I tried to explain what happened but Astrid just told lies about me attacking her when she attacked me. I thought they wouldn't believe me just like my sister did to me. So I ran away from them, I couldn't even hear Hiccup calling me. I ran and ran until I saw a cove where I stopped for a minute.
I thought things would be different, I thought Hiccup wasn't like my people. But I was wrong. I hated feeling like I'm just a princess who's job is to just be seen and not heard. I heard Hiccup and Toothless coming this way. Shira was getting ready to attack but I called her off.
"Dixie, I'm sorry. I don't know what got into Astrid. I got her to tell me the truth and I wanted to apologise to you. " Hiccup explained.
When I asked him about what Astrid meant by Hiccup being all hers and not mine, he told me that Astrid was his girlfriend. I felt my heart shatter into pieces, he already has a lover. "I-I didn't know. I'm so sorry." I quickly said.
I wanted to just crawl into a hole and die. However, Hiccup told me that he didn't have feelings for Astrid anymore and that he broke up with her. So maybe I have a chance with him.
Viggo's pov:
Today is the day I dread the most, the day my wife and my son were taken from me. I can't stand it, I wished I had protected them better. They would still be here, my wife by my side, and my son coming home so I can be a father. But that'll never happen, my chances of ever seeing them again was only in the Halls of Valhalla. I told all my men that I'm not to be disturbed for any reason. I can't help but feel that this was my fault that I lost my family. If I could have done something different eighteen years ago, they would still be here.
However, there was this feeling that I couldn't get rid of. A gut feeling about Hiccup Haddock, I felt like I've heard that name before. I dug around for the old family photo before Valka and my son were taken. I found it, I stared at it for a while. I looked at my baby boy in my arms in the photo, he must be eighteen now. "Wait a minute." I muttered.
I grabbed a photo of Hiccup back when I placed a bounty on him then placed it by the side of the family photo. I looked closer at both photos, I saw the same little scar on Hiccup and my son's chin. I looked at the picture even closer "No, it can't be." I muttered.
That's my son, all this time I've been looking for him and this whole time I've been at war with him. How did it come to this? I can't let this happen anymore, I have to make this right.
