Caverna held her head high as she walked out towards Alvin, her hood and mask covering most of her face as she walked. Whilst she walked, she pulled a dagger from her suit and she was soon a foot away from him. Alvin just looked her up and down before he let out a growl of frustration.

"No more games girl, where is Hiccup Haddock!" He bellowed; hitting her with the back of his hand so she fell to the floor.

"Somewhere where you, can't find him." Caverna him as she picked herself up. "It's me or nothing; I've been training dragons much longer than he has."

"Is that so?" Alvin asked, before he suddenly picked her up by her throat.

Caverna grabbed his hand that held her neck with one hand, finding it really hard to breathe at this point.

"We shall see about the-" He suddenly let out a cry as Caverna slashed at his face with the dagger that she still held in her other hand. When she hit the floor, Caverna got herself to her feet as fast as possible and she ran towards a rock, jumping on it and she then jumped up, getting picked up by a purple Deadly Nadder. At seeing her fly away, Alvin gave off a roar of a cry, just as Skullcrusher flew down and almost landed on Alvin, who just about managed to get out of the way, and kept dodging the dragon's fire as Caverna landed the Nadder next to Skullcrusher.

Alvin looked at her, and then he looked at his men who had joined them. "What are you waiting for, attack!"

As the men ran towards Caverna, Snowcap suddenly ran at them, jumping in the way and she managed to get most of them off, before they eventually pinned her down and this caused Caverna to jump off of the Nadder's back and the Nadder went to help Snowcap, just as Toothless and Skullcrusher did.

Caverna noticed that Hiccup had gotten out of the cave and she threw him a dagger from her suit, and nodded to their friends who were tied up, silently telling him to help them. When Hiccup caught the dagger, he ran to where his friends were bound and he undone the gag on Astrid, kissing her cheek as he cut the ropes around her, and then went on to do the same for the rest of their friends. Caverna unsheathed her swords and she started to fight the men that attacked her, she was good but she soon found herself overpowered and the men dragged her over to Alvin.

"Alvin, what do we do with her?" One asked, nodding down to the nearly unconscious Caverna that he had hold of.

"Pass me her swords." Alvin told them and he held her swords in his hands, shifting them in his hands. "Impressive craftsmanship." He muttered, he seemed to be in awe of the pieces of metal in his hands, before he watched his men force Caverna to her knees. Hiccup could only watch as Caverna looked up at him, and she mouthed for him to run, and he didn't have any choice, especially when Astrid pulled at him to leave. He stole one last look at his sister, and this was when he realised, Alvin was going to kill her and she would die for the just to help them to escape.

Yet when he got to the escape route, he looked back seeing that Toothless was staying to protect Snowcap, and the Deadly Nadder and Skullcrusher had also stayed to protect her.

"Toothless, come on."

Toothless looked back at him and he shook his head at his rider, if his mate was going to die alongside her rider, then he was going to die alongside his mate, but Toothless didn't expect to hear his rider's mate calling for his rider.

"Hiccup, come back!" Astrid shouted and she tried to chase after him, but Snotlout and Fishlegs held her back.

Hiccup on the other hand, was running as fast as he could back towards his sister and their dragons, before he suddenly swung his arms around Toothless' neck and stayed attached to him, as Caverna somehow managed to do the same to Snowcap. The two teens looked at each other and they reached out towards each other with one of their hands and they held each other's hands burying their faces in their dragon's necks. They heard the cries of their friends, Astrid's sobs as she watched Hiccup simply give up, and she heard Snotlout and Fishlegs sniffles as they watched Caverna. As they heard the battle cry from Alvin, they both braced themselves for the blow of the sword, but it never came, instead what came was the clang of metal hitting metal. Opening their eyes and looking up, they found Stoick the Vast stood in front of them, protecting them.

"Don't you dare touch my children." He sneered at Alvin.

Alvin just laughed and the two broke away, and Stoick looked back at his children. "Hiccup, Caverna, get out of here."

"Dad, look out!" Caverna shouted as she saw Alvin throw the sword at Stoick, but before Stoick could turn, Skullcrusher grabbed the sword in his mouth and threw it out of the way.

Stoick looked at Alvin and he suddenly punched him in the face, before he looked at his children. "Go home you two." As he spoke, he mounted his dragon and he flew off, with Skullcrusher picking Alvin up in his claws and flying off.

Caverna and Hiccup watched Stoick fly off, before they watched as Hiccup was thrown to the floor with a crying Astrid lying on top of him almost choking him with how tight her hug was.

"Astrid, I can't breathe." He choked out, and she sat up so she was straddling his lap and she punched him in the arm.

"OW!" Hiccup complained.

"That's for giving up and scaring me." Astrid told him, before she pulled him forward by his shirt and kissed him. "That's for everything else."

Hiccup gave her a goofy grin, before the two stood up and Hiccup pulled her in for another kiss, which had the other teens rolling their eyes. Caverna ended up leaving the group and walking to where Skullcrusher had spat out her sword and she sat on the ground cleaning it up, before she knelt up on her knees and slid it back into its holster. Fishlegs watched Caverna as he stayed near the other teens, and he noticed Snotlout was also watching her. At seeing how Snotlout looked at Caverna, Fishlegs immediately felt jealous, though he pushed his feelings back when Caverna started to speak.

"We'd best get back to the village." She told the group.

"Yeah, but, uh, who's going to tell Hiccup and Astrid." Tuffnut asked as he pointed to where Hiccup and Astrid were still kissing.

"Not a problem." She walked to stand within a few centimetres of the pair and she suddenly gave off a loud whistle causing them both to jump apart. "Problem solved."

The twins just laughed before Caverna walked to where Snowcap and Toothless were lying next to each other and the Nadder was walking around nipping on some grass.

"Looks like we're going to have to share." Caverna told them.

"Well, that might be hard, since there are only three dragons and seven of us." Fishlegs told them.

"The Nadder can carry two on its back and one in its talons." Caverna shrugged, and she felt everyone's eyes on her as she slid onto Snowcap's back and she watched Hiccup and Astrid get onto Toothless, with Astrid sliding her arms tightly around Hiccup's waist. Fishlegs took his chance since he as closer to Caverna than Snotlout was and he climbed onto Snowcap, despite the dragons snarls at him.

"Hey, it's alright, it's just until we get home." Caverna told her dragon and she looked back at Fishlegs. "You might want to hold onto me." She told him as everyone else got seated on the dragons, the twins riding the Nadder whilst Snotlout got carried since he was now in a mood because of how close Fishlegs and Caverna were.

They flew back towards the village in relative silence, Snowcap flying alongside Toothless as the teens watched the early morning sunrise.

"Oh Hiccup, it's beautiful." Astrid told him.

"I know." He smiled, looking back to kiss the corner of her mouth, before he went to concentrating on his flight.

Fishlegs looked at the sunset before he started to play with Caverna's hair like he always used to do when she hadn't pulled her hood up.

"Fishlegs, what are you doing?" Caverna asked him.

"Trying to get your attention." He admitted, stopping his movements.

"Why?" She asked, looking back at him knowing that Snowcap wouldn't let them crash if she did.

"Oh, um for no reason." Fishlegs told her, and he looked at her as she dismounted her dragon once they had gotten to Berk. Snowcap soon got annoyed that Fishlegs still hadn't gotten off of her back, and she suddenly threw him off.

"Wow, Snowcap really doesn't like you, does she 'Legs?" Hiccup asked as Caverna calmed her dragon, before she walked over to Fishlegs holding out a hand.

"Need some help up?"

Fishlegs simply nodded, his face bright red as he took her hand and she helped him back onto his feet.

When he was standing, Caverna gave him a soft smile before she walked back to her dragon and tapped her nose, causing the dragon to sneeze.

"I told you not to do things like that, it's not nice Snowcap." Caverna told her.

Snowcap just gave her a look of innocence, before she nuzzled her rider in an attempt to apologise, and Caverna soon melted, hugging her dragon. "Alright, now go and apologise to Fishlegs."

Snowcap grumbled, before she walked over to Fishlegs and nudged him before she walked back over to her rider.

"Sorry Fishlegs, I really don't know what's gotten into her." Caverna shrugged.

"Don't, um, don't worry about it." Fishlegs told her. "Well, I'd best head to bed, see you later everyone." He quickly scampered off.

"Fishlegs is right; we had all best head to bed." Astrid told them as she noticed the twins yawning and even Caverna was yawning.

"Hey Caverna, if you're too tired to walk, I'll carry you." Snotlout told her, a lustful glint in his eye.

The look that he gave her, made Caverna almost throw up in her mouth, before she shuddered. "Ugh, no thanks Snotlout, I'd rather walk."

Snotlout didn't seem upset by being given the brush off, after all he had been receiving the same treatment from Astrid for years, and he simply watched her walk towards the Haddock house.

After walking Astrid home, Hiccup also went home and he found Caverna sitting in front of the fire on the floor, curled up with her head on Snowcap's side, and Snowcap had dragged a fur blanket from one of the sofa's and lay it over her whilst she slept.

"Hey girl." Hiccup smiled when the dragon looked at him and Toothless after he had entered the household. Snowcap gave him a simple nod as her greeting, before she nuzzled Toothless, giving him a soft purr though she was careful not to disturb her sleeping rider.

"Is she asleep?" Hiccup asked the dragon, moving to sit next to Snowcap, though he was leaning against Toothless.

Snowcap gave him a nod as she watched Toothless pull a blanket over Hiccup as he settled down by the fire, before both dragons put their heads down next to each other and slowly fell asleep. Hiccup watched his sister and their dragons, before he felt his eyelids become heavy and he too fell asleep under the furs and against his dragon. None of them noticed Stoick eventually enter the house, though when he saw them all, he smiled. He then gently took Caverna from Snowcap who raised her head ready to defend her helpless rider, but relaxed at noticing Stoick, and she followed the chief as he carried Caverna upstairs to her room, and tucked her in, making sure he took off the top part of her flight suit and her swords first. Kissing her head he left her to sleep, before he went and brought Hiccup up to his room and he found Toothless making himself comfortable on his rock as he kissed his son's forehead and left him to sleep. As he made his way to his own bedroom, Stoick couldn't help but feel proud of his children, yes they might have nearly died today and they would have died if he hadn't realised that their mission had been a trap, but he felt proud that they were still with their hands holding onto each other as they waited for the fall of the blade. That showed their strong bond as adopted siblings, but he had also found out something that could possibly change the way in which the two felt for each other whilst he had been away, but he knew that he would have to wait until tomorrow to tell them. For now he was going to get some sleep, and allow his children and dragons to do the same. What he had to say could definitely wait until the morning?
