As the fires went out, there was screaming from women and children, but it didn't take long for Stoick to bark an order to his daughter.
"Go, Caverna!" Stoick thundered and everyone heard the whistle, before Snowcap jumped down from the rafters and threw Caverna onto her back before both rider and dragon shot out of the doors.
As they reached the sky, the tried to look around, but everything around them was foggy and there was the sound of thunder and lightning coming from all around them.
"Snow, be careful."
"Both of you be careful." This came from Snotlout who had flown after his younger cousin, Caverna turned to see the twins and Fishlegs flying with them.
"What, no Hiccup?" Caverna asked.
"Nope, your dad's keeping them grounded in their new home, Toothless and Stormfly aren't happy about it either." Tuffnut laughed, he sounded drunk, yet he soon sobered up when he saw something large and dark flying towards them. "Uh, guys..."
Everyone looked to where they were pointing and all too soon, they could make out the body of a Skrill.
"Everyone dodge and split up!" Caverna shouted over the thunder and just as the Skrill was about to take a bite out of herself and Snowcap, she touched Snowcap's head. "Drop!"
At the command, Snowcap tucked her wings in and both rider and dragon fell out of reach of the Skrill, but the sight of it made their friends cry out in shock. Though everyone, especially Fishlegs nearly fainted from relief as they saw that Snowcap had unfolded her wings at the last second and they were flying rather low to the ground.
As Caverna and Snowcap flew back up to rejoin their friends on the battlefield, they all lost sight of the Skrill.
"Where is it?" Snotlout shouted.
"I don't know." Caverna shouted back, but it was a bit too late as there was a flash and Caverna felt a terrible pain in her right arm as she fell from her saddle towards the ground. Everyone else had been momentarily blinded by this flash, but when they realised, they went into panic mode.
"Caverna!" Fishlegs shouted, having Meatlug fly after the fast falling girl. However, Snowcap was quicker, and she grabbed her rider and held her close, tucking her wings around her as they hit the water.
Both Fishlegs and Snotlout flew down to the water where they soon found Snowcap flying out of the water and onto dry land, dropping a coughing Caverna onto the ground.
"Caverna, you're alright!" Fishlegs shouted as he landed and got off of his dragon, running over to her and hugging her tightly.
She winced as he wrapped his arms around her, and Fishlegs pulled away, looking at the cut in her right arm, but Caverna wasted no time in cutting off some of her green jumper and creating a bandage which she happily wrapped over the wound and Fishlegs helped her to tie it.
"What the heck happened?" A loud voice boomed.
The teens all looked to see Stoick running towards them, brandishing his axe, ready for a fight, but he also seemed surprised that there wasn't one.
"It was just a Skrill dad, but it's gone now, now come on, let's go and get back to the celebration." Caverna told him s she got onto Snowcap's back.
"Not so fast Caverna." Stoick told her. "You have to join myself and Astrid's parents."
"Why?" Caverna asked, instantly regretting asking.
"You have to witness your brother's consummation of his marriage!" Snotlout laughed.
"No!" Caverna almost shouted. "Dad, why do I have to do it?"
"Because you're his full biological family, but none of us are staying in the room, we're going to be staying downstairs."
"Easy enough to hear it." Caverna muttered and she looked down at her dragon. "You're staying with me to block out all noise."
Snowcap gave her a whine in discomfort, but she heard the similar discomfort in her rider's voice so she let it go, flying off towards the Haddock house with her rider, whilst Stoick headed home. When both Haddocks were gone, the other teens fell about laughing.
"Oh my god, did you see Caverna's face?" Ruffnut laughed.
"She looked shell shocked." Snotlout laughed.
"She's going to be scared for life." Fishlegs told them, before they all walked back to the celebration, and back to the drinking.
Whilst her friends were drinking, Caverna was sat on the rug by the fire, Snowcap's paws over her ears but she could still hear the moans and creaks of the bed as her brother and his new wife consummated their marriage. She occasionally glanced over at the uneasy faces of her father and Astrid's parents, though she glared daggers at Astrid's mother. To say that things still weren't one hundred per cent between the pair was being nice about it, that's why Snowcap was now curled around her rider, treating her like her own hatchling because Snowcap knew that she could stop her rider from doing something stupid, like attacking her sister-in-law's mother, even if her rider's father couldn't. Toothless was also in the room, lying behind Snowcap, occasionally nuzzling her as she held her rider and tried to block out the noise. In truth, he wasn't that comfortable with the situation either, and occasionally tried to flatten his ears down on his head with his own paws, to little or no success. Eventually it was all over, and the moment that Stoick looked at his daughter, he watched her leave as fast as her dragon could carry her.
"Well, she was eager." Astrid's father laughed.
"Can you blame her?" Stoick laughed. "She hates any thought of it."
"Was that after what happened to her?" The other man asked.
"I think so, I've never really talked to her about it, it's hard to comprehend, you know?"
"I do, when I was told what happened to Astrid, I headed straight back here to see her, only to find that she had been sent away." Astrid's dad told him.
"Yes, I am sorry about that."
"I have forgiven you Stoick, we've been friends for a while and I know that you were under pressure and at least that you didn't send her away alone."
Stoick nodded as he remembered the look of betrayal on his daughter's face when he banished both her and Astrid from the village, and the two men went straight back to the Great Hall to drink away the sounds of what they had just heard.
Meanwhile, in Hiccup's room, Astrid was snuggled up to her husband as they both lay in bed naked and sweaty from their passionate consummation.
"Hiccup..." Astrid whispered, checking that he wasn't asleep.
"Yes, Astrid?" Hiccup whispered back.
"Can you believe it, we're married." She told him as she sat up ad looked at him.
Hiccup smiled at his happy his new wife looked and he also sat up so that he could slide his arms around her and rest his hands on her stomach. "I know, and soon we will have our own family as well."
Astrid beamed. "I know." She moved to turn around so that she as facing him and she slid her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. "Now, what do you want to do?" She asked him. "Stay here and have all the sex we want until your father and sister come home, or go back to the feast and not have any more sex tonight?"
Hiccup looked at her and he raised an eyebrow, before he suddenly pinned her onto her back and kissed her deeply, hearing her moan softly at the touch of both his lips and his already hard member as it pressed against her stomach.
"Does that answer your question?" He asked her, his voice having this almost sexy growl to it.
Astrid smiled in pleasure and she looked at him. "I might need a bit more proof that this is what you want."
It wasn't too long before Hiccup had Astrid moaning and pleasure and screaming his name as she came, and it certainly wasn't long before Hiccup cried her name as Astrid caused him to have an earth shattering orgasm. However, the two soon fell asleep, wrapped in a mixture of the fur blanket and each other's limbs.
Whilst her brother was having the time of his life, his sister was doing the same. At that moment, she and Ruffnut were dancing and since by now Ruffnut had drank so much she was almost seeing doubles, but Caverna was still able to manoeuvre herself well enough to suggest that she was tipsy. Both she and Ruffnut were dancing rather provocatively on top of a table, mugs of mead in hand. All the guys in the room noticed how the girls danced but most of them were too drunk to do anything, especially Stoick. Yet, Fishlegs was sitting at a table watching and his jealousy level was rising fast, especially when Dagur got onto the table with the two girls and started to dance with them. Eventually, Snotlout and Tuffnut came to join Fishlegs and they were both severely drunk.
"Look at her dance, god Dagur is certainly getting a good hold." Tuffnut blurted out.
Fishlegs looked over at where his friend was looking and he saw he was watching Caverna and Dagur, and whilst Dagur was almost humping Caverna, whilst Caverna was just trying to dance with Ruffnut. But, Dagur must have seen that Fishlegs was watching, because he then started to make it more noticeable and he even tried to kiss Caverna. The mere sight of it, caused Fishlegs to snap and he suddenly stood up, nearly knocking his drink over in the process.
"That's it!" He suddenly shouted, and he gulped down the rest of his drink before he went marching over towards his girlfriend. When he got to them, pulled her down off of the table, and into his arms, and he spun her around and kissed her with as much passion as he could.
It all took Caverna by surprise and she didn't fully register what Fishlegs was actually doing for a few minutes, before she kissed Fishlegs back. Her returned kiss just as passionate and wanting as his was, but after a few minutes he pulled out of the kiss and pressed his forehead to hers.
"You are mine." He told her.
The amount of possessiveness that his voice held as he spoke to her made Caverna shiver, and she looked at him so that her eyes met his. "I'm always going to be yours."
Fishlegs looked at her, her eyes almost made him waver and turn to jelly in his arms, but he held his resolve.
"The prove it, stay with me tonight." Fishlegs told her.
Caverna raised an eyebrow. "Deal." She told him, kissing his lips gently, but it soon turned passionate as Fishlegs took her from the Great Hall and towards his house and neither of them were seen for the rest of the night. However, the next morning Caverna woke up early and found herself in her pants and sweater, with her daggers, swords and flight jacket on a chair by the window and a sleeping Fishlegs beside her. Smiling to herself, Caverna found a piece of parchment and she scribbled a note onto it, before she put it on her side of Fishleg's bed, gently kissed her boyfriend's cheek in the process and leaving through the window so that she didn't raise any suspicions. She got to her house with moments to spare, as the sun finally started to rise, and she got herself up to her room, where she peeled off her jacket and weapons once more and climbed into bed. A she settled down for more sleep, she promised herself to go to her dad about the Skrill when he was awake and able to function. After all, a Skrill was a large problem if it turned up once, but it was a large problem if it turned up again and Berk couldn't handle that right now.
