AN: Guys… I just can't believe it… We're nearing the 300 review mark. My story can already be found on page 4 of the main search of fanfiction if you sort it by review when just last week it was still on page 7… Reviewers might be the same each chapter but the number of views for every chapter always accumulates to 300 viewers, which means people don't go to my story to review but to read it… I love you guys! This is why I update every day! This is why I push myself to post a new chapter even though I'm dead beat tired! This is why I respond to PM's and stuff like that!

Arc: A Stormy (W)Heather Approaches

Days Until Wedding: 1 and a half month (40 days)

"Why Do I Have A Bad Feeling About This"

When the Hairy Hooligans finally arrived back home, the tribe celebrated for their victory and the return of their comrades, old and new alike. Stoick heaved a huge sigh of relief after he saw the jet-black dragon land infront of him near his house. As Hiccup dismounted Toothless he was engulfed by his huge father in a bear hug. Hiccup could feel his bones being crushed and his father knew it because he immediately let him go to breathe.

"Hiccup, you made me proud" he said as he gave his son a pat on his shoulders

"Really?"

Stoick nodded "Not only did you led a pack of vikings to victory but also returned the ones that were taken hostage"

Hiccup scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly. Not a good sign for Stoick. This usually meant a great disaster or a huge mistake in Hiccup's plan. "Speaking of hostages…"

"What about hostages?" Stoick glared at his son. Surely he didn't do something crazy like bringing a stranger with them. Stoick widened his eyes. No, his son was crazy enough to do something like that. He just hoped he was wrong.

"You see… There's this girl-"

"Stop!" Stoick motioned Hiccup to stop

"But you didn't let me finish… What I was trying to say is th-"

"I don't want to hear it" Stoick said in finality

"Bu-"

"No"

"Will you just hear me out" Hiccup groaned

But before Stoick could say no again, Blindspot landed next to them. When Stoick saw Heather when she dismounted his jaw dropped and his eyes widened.

"A-Agna?!"

"Agna?" Hiccup and Astrid asked at the same time.

When Stoick got a closer look, he shook his head "No, you're too young to be her… Must be my imagination"

Heather fidgeted "Uhmm… sir…"

Stoick smiled comfortingly at her "Call me Stoick"

Heather's eyes widened for a split second before returning back to her shy demeanor "Sir… I mean Stoick… How did you know her name?"

"Who's name?" Hiccup asked as he and Astrid approached the shy girl

"My mother's. Her name was Agna" she looked directly at Stoick and he had a look of surprise in his face

"No…" Stoick ran his hand through his face "It couldn't be…" Stoick had a look of panic on his face. This was the first time Hiccup saw his father like this. He didn't like it. Not even a dragon could do this to him. He looked at Heather and for a moment he saw her eyes turn to slits for a brief second before returning to normal again.

What's going on? Is there some kind of connection here that I couldn't understand? Hiccup thought to himself.

Astrid on the other hand, was not bothering to think about this because she was back to thinking about the kid she killed. It wasn't the fact that she was weak, it was just that the child she killed was already trained in killing others. Mogadon was a great leader but must be a terrible father. She just hoped that Hiccup won't be like him when the time comes.

Stoick gestured for the trio to enter the house. The three teens followed him. Two of the teens were confused while one of them had an answer to Stoick's odd behavior.

When they finally entered the house, Stoick told Hiccup to lock the door. He obligingly did as he was told and entered the kitchen where the rest was situated.

Stoick sighed and looked at Heather one more time before closing his eyes and groan "No doubts about it. You're your mother's daughter alright"

"Dad… How exactly did you know her mother?" Hiccup asked slowly

Stoick looked at his son and sighed once again "This does not leave this room, got it?" he looked at the teens and they nodded in unison "What I'm about to tell you is something even Gobber and Grudge doesn't know about"

"Woah" Hiccup was surprised. Gobber and Grudge knew most of Stoick's secrets because he usually shared it with them. This must be something that he treasured or regretted so much that he didn't share it to even his most trusted men.

"This happened 15 years ago… Months before you're mother died. This happened when we raided a random village in the middle of winter…"

AN: And I end it there because the following parts are going to be a doozy and I'm too lazy to finish it now XD

Also because I wanted it to end in a cliffhanger… Enjoy and Review!
