Hi, first of all, i want to say that i really like the idea behind your story, but ( and don' t take this as an insult) you should work on your writing because for now i read the first 2 chapters and i' ve found many syntax and grammatical errors ( for example tree's instead of trees or the use of . where there should be a , ).

First of all, thanks xd and second, I don't mind at all, I'm here to improve my writing as I go along throughout my life. And yes, as I said in previous AU notes that I write first, check later then at the end of the day I proof read but the problem is I didn't notice the errors since my mind shortcuts them into thinking they are Grammarly correct xd. So yes, it's not a problem, but yeah still learning my grammar so yea xd but thank for pointing it out, I appreciate it :)

Guest: This is a nice chapter cant wait for the next one and drago was a prisoner in jail right?

Thanks, and well I can't tell you that, we don't want to spoil anything now would we xd.

Enough of this shiet, enjoy ze story.

Chapter Twenty-Four: A Trip To New York

(No P.O.V)

"You sure about Stephan coming to help us, I mean Harper told me a lot about him and well his father hated him. Well I mean…I think you know." Demsey started.

The gang was less than ten minutes away from Berk and so far, no one had anything ready to say. Alek didn't need to say anything since she knew Harper's father would have no discussion what so ever.

She's not sure why both Cami and Demsey and panicking but she just kept quiet, enjoying their bickering.

"Hey I don't see you helping Alek!" Cami groaned.

Alek tried suppressing an amused smile. "Look just calm down the both of you, I'm sure Stephan would come along."

"What about all the things Harper told me?" Demsey asked looking at the driving mirror towards Alek.

She sighed. "Look Harper didn't know alright, remember he always thought he was a mistake. But I'm pretty sure by now I got it through his stubborn intellect that he's not."

"Hey we're here." Cami announced looking up ahead to see Berk's walls.

Cami Opened the window, showing her face in front of the spotter before the gates opened. Demsey drove in before they were faced with a waiting Stephan in front of the road.

The gang dismounted off the truck, walking towards him. He had a neutral expression but he looked behind them before he showed a worried look.

"Where are the rest, where's Harper?" He asked.

Alek walked forward ushering both Demsey and Cami to keep quiet. They both nodded letting Alek bring in the news.

"Well!?" Stephan asked a bit more hasher, his patience depleting quite rapidly.

Alek cleared her throat before she looked at Stephan. "Your son got taken Stephan, he's back at New York. We need your help and some of Berk's armed forces, we need to siege a community that's holding him in."

Instantly Stephan looked back, with a waiting Gobber and Seth. "Get as many volunteers as we can Seth, Gobber get to the armory and bring all the guns and ammunition the bags can carry!"

"Ah Chief!" They both answered as they went to their duties.

"And how are we supposed to get to New York, most of bridges have been demolished?" Stephan asked.

"We got that covered already but chances are we might need only let's say six to seven men." Demsey said, cutting in.

"Well Stoic' here's all tha lad's that volunteered." Gobber announced hobbling in with duffle bags in hand while one rested under his arm.

Behind him came Seth, Bucket, Mulch, Anthony, and Silent Sven or Steven.

"Will this be enough?" Stephan said looking back at Demsey.

Demsey counted silently looking at the men before he closed his eyes as his lips counted silently before he opened his eyes along with a small smile creeping up his lip.

"Yeah, I think this will be enough, but remember you listen to me. I have experience in New York. I can tell some of you guys are experienced." Demsey started looking at Gobber.

"But once we enter there, you have to be vigilant. It's half of the city is infected. I have a contact there depending if he's still alive." Demsey said.

The adults nodded before they walked inside the service tent arming their guns. "Wait sir, what about your wife?" Cami asked.

Stephan turned back with his eyes wide before he face palmed before going in a Humvee parked next to the tent before it drove off.

Demsey and Cami sighed, but Alek entered the tent looking for her father. She saw him wearing an tactical vest along as he loaded cartridges inside a magazine. She walked slowly to him while most of the adults were busy but Anthony sensed something before looking up to see his daughter.

He dropped the magazine before approaching, pulling her into a hug. "Don't worry my little warrior, we'll get him back. Remember he's been there before." he whispered

"Yeah and I'm afraid how long he'll last of we don't get any sooner." She whispered back

Anthony sighed, making his daughter look him in the eye before he spoke. "Even before I already saw Harper having his father's characteristics, brave, intelligent, stubborn yes but in a good way. He's fit to be a leader and I'm sure he's fit to be a fighter just like you and maybe a lover." He informed softly with a smile.

Alek nodded smiling before letting and walking back but her father stopped her placing his hand on her shoulder. "You're Uncle Finn would be proud, remember that." He reminded.

She looked back nodding with a smile, with a small whisper. "He would."

Alek went out of the tent with a Stephan coming out of a Humvee, with a prideful smile and stance. He had a fist but Alek looked closely to see a chain dangling.

He entered the tent, Alek smiled back before she looked at back at her companions to see them both kissing and she can tell it's both their first time.

She cleared her throat before both of them let go looking at her with wide eyes, they both blushed in the process looking at each other and back to Alek. "It's um nothing really!" Cami squeaked out feeling more embarrassed

Alek placed her hands on her hip, looking at them with a questioning look. "Yeah I'm sure both of you didn't just kiss or make out in front of gate with some spectators looking at you." She said motioning the guards looking at the both of them with a smile.

Demsey groaned, banging the back of his ahead on top of his truck with Cami looking at Alek with a glare but she just winked back.

"Hey, don't worry about it. You'll feel the same we feel only thing is we're not embarrassed." Alek said winking before walking to truck.

Demsey just looked at Cami with a shy smile. Cami did the same thing but there both tempted to share another kiss but they were interrupted with the adults coming out of the tent armed and ready.

"Follow us, we'll be at Venice Beach by sundown." Demsey said before got on the turret tossing Cami the keys to his truck.

They drove off with an Army truck not far behind them.

(Somewhere in Manhattan)

"Well are you going to give boy, that attitude of yours will be the end of you!" A dragon sneered giving another punch to a dangling Harper.

He coughed, trying to looked around. Keeping conscious as best as he can. "Fu-ck "cough" you."

The dragons laughed before they gave another beating to Harper. "Drago never stopped bragging about your loyal ass, and look at you now a pathetic little shit you are!" Another one degraded punching Harper's abdomen.

Harper gave another hard cough before he looked around again, keeping his eyes opened but he felt a jolt of pain around his body. He looked again to see they used the car battery for the fourth time. He's been tortured for seven hours straight.

But before they can go for another round the metal doors opened reveling Drago walking in with Thuggory and Dogsbreath or Damien.

They were both close to Harper before they chose Drago over him. They didn't look directly at Harper but their faces showed signs of guilt.

Drago approached with a sadistic smile. He chuckled darkly looking at Harper. "This can stop anytime Harper, but tell me do you swear elegance to me. As I said boy you're useful, this." Drago said gesturing his metal arm. "Is water under the bridge, come back boy. We're all waiting for the Night Fury's return!"

Harper tried to glare at him but his he had too much bruises on his face that it looked like a grape. He looked at Drago trying to form a small smile before he spoke.

"Sho-ve that "cough" "cough" metal arm up you're sorry "cough" ass!" He retorted.

"You had to be stubborn boy, bring him at the table." Drago ordered, they got Harper's chain of from the pipes before he slammed down on the pavemen t.

Harper groaned before he was carried off to the a nearby by table. They got some ropes and tied him down. Drago came forward with a bone saw showing it in front of Harper's face.

"You took my arm boy, how's about I take your leg!" He sneered out.

Harper tried to look up but the held him down. He his pants being rolled up on his left foot, he tried to struggle shaking his hands and legs as hard as he can. He felt something cold touch his foot before he screamed in agony.

(Venice Beach)

"So, let me get this straight you were in the cold war?" Frank asked to Dmitri.

Dmitri huffed another smoke before he spoke. "Yes, I was guard for Soviet Union during occupation of Berlin, I was only twenty during that time I was posted." He answered.

"Hey there here!" Heather announced.

The twins stopped playing rock paper scissors, while Eret just walked ahead to the pier, Sam was facing the other way while he whistled.

Alek and the rest came into view, but Alek had a sly grin when walking to Heather. She looked at her questioningly but she motioned the couple behind her who were beet red.

Heather at first didn't get it but instantly she noticed how close Demsey and Cami are with each other. She just winked at couple. The adults came in walking forward, Stephan approached Dmitri who came off his boat.

"Stephan Haddock." He introduced.

"Dmitri Isacovich, you must be Harper's father?" Dmitri answered.

"Indeed I am." He answered back giving Dmitri a handshake which he accepted.

Everybody mostly got inside his boat, it was a large sized fishing boat. It would fit most of them. By now their own their way to New York.

In the Captain's Cabin Demsey was busy looking at a map of New York, checking and trying to visualize his surroundings once again. Remembering how to get in Drago's compounds.

He didn't even notice Cami coming in since he was alone, everybody was outside either sleeping or with Dmitri drinking Vodka. He was at the moment driving the ship.

"Hey." Cami greeted.

Demsey looked back seeing Cami before giving her a small smile before looking back at the map.

She approached him while he marked another street, muttering that it was shut down.

"How long have you known Harper?" She asked.

Demsey smiled. "You wouldn't believe me, for four years I've known him. During the start of this I went instantly to the arms dealing. But I held an auction back in the day and Drago was there. Instead of Viktor negotiating he got Harper and boy he was good at it. He got a good bargain out of me, I couldn't resist his offer."

"You know Alek is worried for him, right? She wants to know if he was tortured before?" Cami asked frowning.

He sighed. "Yeah guy's a hard nut, he well he's stubborn as hell. He told me he was tortured at least four times so far. But I can tell Drago would do something worst after he shot his arm off."

"Wait he shot his arm off! How?" Cami asked surprised.

He chuckled softly. "I kinda well gave him the right rifle, it was a bit overkill to be honest but I guess we both wanted to make sure. I'm just worried for the others in that colony."

"Colony?"

"Yeah, Wilderbeast is a huge I mean, like two to three blocks of street. Sure, there bastards but there also innocent bystanders. I just don't know how to get them out." Demsey said frowning.

Cami sighed placing her arms around Demsey. "Look, I'm sure you, Alek, and Harper can figure a way out."

"And what about you're mayor?" He asked teasingly.

"Sure, but well by now Alek has experience now thanks to Harper and I'm pretty sure you'll do the same thing with me." She answered grinning.

"And what do I get in return?" He asked slyly.

Cami tried to act innocent. "Depends maybe a bit of this and a bit of that but in the meantime how about thievery." She said smiling showing Demsey his watch she just removed from his wrist.

"Hey!"

"Told you, you'll learn a bit or two." She said before leaving Demsey with his watch.
