(A/N When going over this chapter I noticed how short this one was and thought about adding something but at the moment nothing is coming up. So, for now it might be short but if anyone wants to throw me some ideas to add then I'll be glad to work with said idea.

See you guys again!)

(Chapter Fifteen)

(Middas 8th) (With Astrid)

"Astrid…" what's that?

"Astrid..." is that mom?

"Astrid honey, please wake up"

Astrid's eyes began to shift under her eyelids until her eyes slowly opened to be met with some light shining in her face, she could also make out a couple of shadows sitting around her.

She blinked a couple of times until her vision cleared up. Astrid looks around again and sees that she was back in her room and her parents were here as well one on each side of her bed.

"How are you feeling honey?" Ingrid, Astrid's mother was holding her hand glad that her daughter was safe.

"How did I get back home (quickly sits up) Wait, what happened to…" her mother cuts her off.

"They're safe and for your first question we brought you back home, but it was all Draco that found you and your friends, when he found you he came to the village and told the parents, we found you passed out on the floor near the entrance of the cave" her mother explains but Astrid was still confused.

'We weren't anywhere near the entrance' she's going to have to go find Draco after she's able to leave.

"Honey, can you tell us why you went into those caves?" her father asks.

"Ruffnut drag both Fishlegs and I down into those caves saying that she would like to go cave diving to see if anything was down there and when we went down we found some crates and barrels with a strange emblem but it was to dark to see so we decided to go back down there the day after with some torches and when that day came we grabbed a couple of branches and fabric to make some torches, on our way there Snotlout and Tuffnut joined us then after reaching the cave we went to go get a better look at those crates but they were gone, there were tracks next to them but no footprints so we followed them pretty far down but that's when we all started to have a hard time breathing then Snotlout passed out, so on" Astrid explains.

Now it was her mother and fathers turn to be confused "Draco found you guys near the entrance and even brought us to where you guys were"

"Then he has to be lying because we weren't near the entrance, I swear" her parents looked at one another then back to their daughter.

"Ok honey, we believe you but right now I think we need to let you rest for now and then we can talk about it some more ok?" Astrid slowly nods knowing that she won't win against her mom.

"Ok, now get some rest" both of her parents leave her room leaving her with her thoughts that still don't seem to make sense.

(With Gobber, Stoick, and Draco)

It started at first just Stoick and Gobber when they saw Draco sitting not to far from the door they went up and sat down in front of him. At first he didn't say anything keeping his head in his journal but he was aware that they were there he just didn't want to say anything, it didn't stop Stoick though.

"Hey lad, I've been meaning to ask, how did my son get his arm the way it is?" he looked at Draco with a raised brow waiting for him to answer.

"He got distracted and I hit him, you can even ask Gobber" Stoick looks over to Gobber which nodded his head.

"Is it common for your students to get injured when you're training?" Draco looks up from his journal that he was looking through.

"Yes, it's normal but it doesn't mean it's meant to, some just get distracted, or they weren't watching their opponent, so it was on him for the way his arm turned out" they could tell that he was wanting them to leave him alone but they weren't going to be pushed away that easily.

"How about your friends that you mentioned before, did they go through training with you?" Draco nods.

"Yes, but some of us went through training together when we were with…" he cut himself short closing his mouth before he says more than he needs too.

The two vikings were confused and began to question why he stopped in mid sentence, they won't question him though just in case they step on a topic that he wouldn't want to talk about.

Draco could feel them staring at him so he closes his journal, stands up and before leaving he says "I'll need you to tell your son to meet me in the arena tomorrow morning" before Stoick could get a word in Draco was already leaving.

"Gobber, do you think the lad is hiding something?" Gobber shrugs his shoulders.

"Maybe, but everyone 'as their secrets, so we shouldn't go prying into someone's business" he honestly didn't know what to think but one things for sure he's not going to be telling anyone for a while, probably never.

Gobber chugs the rest of his mead, slams it on the table then stood up patting Stoick on the shoulder "I got to be goin' see you around"

Gobber leaves Stoick alone to go to the forge to get some repairs done before anyone changes that and delays his work.

On his way out of the hall he saw the twins and Fishlegs walking up the steps. They noticed the old blacksmith, greeting him "Hey Gobber, have you seen Draco anywhere?" Fishlegs asks.

"He just left a couple of minutes ago, why?"

"We were hoping to find him and thank him for saving us" Fishlegs explained.

"That thanks might 'ave to wait till tomorrow if he shows that is"

"Ok, thanks Gobber, we'll see you around" the trio passed Gobber entering the hall.

(Fishlegs, Tuffnut, and Ruffnut)

The trio were planning to have a sit down with Draco asking him about what happened in that cave or how he found them or even how did they end up near the entrance when they were further down into that cave but since Gobber said that they just missed him they didn't know what to do for the rest of the time.

"I wonder if Astrid has woken up" Ruffnut starts up a conversation not liking the whole silence thing.

"Most likely she has but I don't think she'll be leaving the house for a while due to how strict her parents are" Fishlegs comments.

"Man, I guess we're lucky our parents are not as strict as her's I don't think I would be able to survive"

"Yea, it would be suffocating if our parents did something like that, I would've snuck out if I was in her shoes"

"You do that anyways" Fishlegs comments.

"Yea and our parents still don't know that we do that and it's going to stay like that"

Fishlegs thought about saying something to them but it won't get him anywhere so he just kept his mouth shut and went back to eating his food. The silence was creepying on them but disappers when they heard the hall doors open revealing a sneaky Astrid.

"Is that Astrid?" Fishlegs questions surprised to see that Astrid has snuck out.

Astrid looks around the hall and when her eyes landed on her friends she walks over to them. She continued to look around the room making sure her parents are not here, when she didn't see them she sat down next to Fishlegs.

"Well if it isnt little miss rule breaker" Ruffnut joked. Astrid glared at her.

"Shut up, have any of you seen Draco, I need to talk to him" she explains.

"Sorry but Gobber said that he already left, so we'll have to wait to talk to him" Astrid deflates.

"Crap, I was- wait did you say we as in you need to talk to him too?" they nodded their heads.

"Yes we wanted to thank him for saving us when we passed out" Fishlegs explains.

"Did any of your parents tell you what happened?"

"They said he found us at the entrance of the cave but that's it"

"But how was that possible, we were deep into the cave so how did we just end up at the entrance, it doesn't make sense"

"Astrid, I don't think that he could've pulled something like that off, he would've ended up like us and passed out" he's not wrong.

"Wouldn't be cool if he could though, be able to carry all of us like nothing, he would've been the strongest man in Berk" says Tuffnut.

"Did somebody say the strongest man on Berk" everyone excluding Tuffnut, all groaned knowing who's voice that belongs too.

"I see that you guys have noticed my greatness" it was Snotlout boasting, growing his ego more than it needs too.

"We weren't talking about you, idiot" Ruffnut snaps. Snotlout sits down next to Tuffnut with a confused look.

"Than who are you talking about? I don't know anyone who's stronger than me" this guy…

"If you would pull your head out of you're a-" Fishlegs stops her "Ruffnut, you know that won't do any good, might as well tell him" Ruffnut huffs.

"Fine, we're talking about Draco" Snotlout's confusion changed into annoyed.

"How is that guy stronger than me, we've never seen him fight" everyone looked at him stupidly.

"Are you forgetting the fight in the arena? Or how about the fight with that huge Monstrous Nightmare? To me that's strong" Ruffnut loved to push the guy since it's always going to end up him trying to do something but fail soon after.

"I could've done all of that, I just didn't get the chance since he got to it first" Ruffnut didn't buy that exscues, not one bit.

"I'll believe it when I see it" That statement enraged Snotlout, he stomps out of the Hall possibly going to go look for Draco but he's unaware that Draco has already left for the day

"You think he'll get his butt kicked once he find him?" Ruffnut asked couriously.

"Who?"

"Draco kicking Snotlout's butt, who else?"

"I don't know, I don't think he'll go against the rules of Berk though even if Snotlout deserves it" Fishlegs explains.

"Even so, it would be cool to see it happen, wouldn't you?" she asks Astrid directly. Astrid shrugs her shoulders.

(Time Skip)

(With Snotlout) (Couple of hours later)

Snotlout has been searching for Draco for a couple of hours now, to the point of that the sun is already setting. Seeing that he won't be finding him today he called it quites and decideds that he'll look for him tomorrow, if he shows up that is.

Now bored and upset for wasting his whole day looking for someone that wasn't even in the village anymore he wanted to just head on home and go to bed.

On his way home he was stopped by Dogsbreath calling out to him "Hey Snotlout, where have you been?"

"I've been looking for that guy Draco, I need to teach him a lesson" he replied with an annoyed sigh.

"Would it be alright if I joined you on that lesson, early today I tried to have a "talk" with him but he brushed me off like dirt" he was still salty about that.

"Sure, more the better, but it'll have to wait till tomorrow, he's already gone for the day it seems like, hey, where's Lugnut?" he's just now realizing that he hasn't seen Lugnut around lately.

Dogsbreath shrugs his shoulders "I don't know, I haven't seen him around all day but if I had to take a guess he's probably trying to hit on some of the girls at the Hall"

"It wouldn't surprise me but we all know he can't something like getting a girl like me" Dogsbreath rolled his eyes luckily it was dark out and Snotlout wouldn't have been able to see it.

"You know, I think I should start a cl-" Snotlout stops talking when he felt Dogsbreath place a hand on his shoulder. Snotlout looks at him confused but when Dogsbreath jerked his head to his left (Snotlout Right) he saw what he was trying to say or show.

The two men were looking at a women with shoulder length black raven hair, slender frame that they wouldn't ever see on Berk, nearly pale white skin, she seemed to be around 5'7, they can't tell for sure, she was also wearing some kind of strange armor that they haven't seen on Berk before. The only thing they can't see is her face since she has her back towards them and she was heading in between two houses.

The two men looked at one another and nodded their heads running over to where she was last both wanting to give it a shot to hit on her but when they looked down the alley they saw nothing and it was even a dead end leading off the ledge of Berk.

"Did she just…?"

"I don't know but did you see that bod, she was like a goddess from vahalla" Dogsbreath raises an eyebrow at the drooling man.

"I wonder what would happen if Astrid heard you talk about another women" Snotlout glares daggers at Dogsbreath.

"Dogsbreath rose his hands in defense "I'm kidding, I won't tell a soul, but I wonder where she went, she couldn't have jump could she?" Snotlout shrugs hi shoulders unsure how to answer that.

"I wouldn't think so but did you notice that armor she was wearing, it wasn't anything I've seen before"

"Do you think we need to tell Stoick?" Snotlout shook his head throwing a lazy hand at Dogsbreath.

"Na, if she's still here, he'll see her but if not it would've been a waste of time" Snotlout lets out a tired yawn then continues to speak "Well, I'm going to head on home, I need to get my beauty rest, see you tomorrow"

Dogsbreath nods his head saying goodnight to his friend, then follows his lead seconds later but he takes one more look down the alley to make sure he didn't miss something, seeing that nothing was there he headed on home to get some shut eye as well.

Far away from the alley, Dogsbreath missed a hint sound of a voice coming from above one of the houses. The voice was soft but loud as if the voice didn't exists "Stupid…"
