"You didn't go after her?" Hiccup glared angrily at Snotlout.

He'd come back an hour ago after Hiccup had sent him to Drago's island to see if he'd kidnapped Siren. He could still remember Drago promising to come back when Hiccup had finally defeated him. Just a couple of weeks ago, Siren went missing, and it wasn't long after she didn't return that Hiccup knew Drago had come. It had to be him.

"She had Toothless with her, Hiccup. Toothless!"

Toothless? Didn't he send Toothless away after...the incident? Astrid did blame the damn dragon for what happened, so after she told him she never wanted to see him again, Hiccup figured it would be best to send Toothless away. It was his fault his father died, and it was also his fault he blew up Astrid's father right in front of her. He thought Astrid would understand that it was an accident, and that they were trying to blow up Drago's goons. He'd been able to reason with her before, so why not now?

Even today, Hiccup wondered what made him think that he could make her understand. He'd wanted to forget that he ever knew someone named Astrid Hofferson after that.

But how could he forget that Astrid Hoffereson was someone he had a child with?

Especially when that child was right in front of him.

Hiccup could remember something that happened three years after the Dragon War.

Siren had turned eight only a month prior, and it was Snoggletog. On Snoggletog, he would take his only child's hands and dance with her in the Great Hall, as an indirect way of reminding her how much he loved her.

Only that year, he didn't want to dance.

"But Daddy," Siren whined. "You always dance with me at Snoggletog!"

He could still remember how hard he tried to convince her that he was too tired and just didn't feel like doing it.

And he could still remember Siren telling him no one wanted to have fun and everyone was sad. He could still remember her telling him she hated him.

He could remember an incident that happened with one of the other children on Berk that happened two months ago. Siren was sword fighting with six year old Subblebuss. She was very hungry when he'd dared her to sword fight with him, thinking he could beat her.

Hiccup could still remember how angry his parents were after he came crying to them about how she teased him during the duel. Apparently she called him a baby and a loser while drinking a beer while sword fighting at the same time. Tuffnut said she was choking after.

While Siren wasn't one to think before she spoke, there were things even she should've known better than to do.

"Hiccup?"

Hiccup looked up. Snotlout was standing there, looking at him, arms crossed. He was tapping his foot.

"What do we do?"

Hiccup pursed his lips and thought for a second.

"Don't come back until you have Siren with you."

"But what if-"

"I don't care if it takes ten years, Snotlout. I better not see your face until Siren is back."

Snotlout looked down.

"Alright then, Hiccup."

Hiccup watched Snotlout leave the Great Hall. Then he put his head in his hands.

Where did Siren find Toothless? When did she find Toothless? What made her want to leave? Why didn't she tell him she found Toothless? Did she meet Drago? If she did, did he twist her mind with his evil?

Where did he go wrong with her?
