Thank you guys who have been reviewing and showing support, Thank you very much. And I will try to update as fast as I can but with school and tests, at least one chapter a week will be the update schedules for other stories that I might write or continue on.

So without any more distractions or interruptions, here is the new chapter so enjoy and be prepared for anything ;)


Everything was a blur for Heather as she was leaning on a small chair in the clubhouse as silent as the night since she literally stayed up all night waiting for any news about her brother. From small fragments of her foggy memory, she remembered being told that it was best to fly Hiccup back to Dragons Edge where Gothi was waiting with medical materials she had prepared since she received the terror mail about the whole incident. Then landing at the Edge while Stoick carried Hiccup to the teen's hut where Gothi was ushering everyone to wait outside. Luckily, they didn't wait too long and were able to see him for a brief moment but Gothi ushered them out again so Hiccup could get some rest even though she had no idea when he'll wake up.

Everyone else was either sitting down or leaning against the wall when Heather explained every single detail to the other riders. She had to stay strong and not cry, but it was still hard describing that moment when Dagur stabbed Hiccup.

The twins had no idea how to react to any of the details they heard but their expressions consisted of disbelief while Tuffnut held on to his chicken who squawked in anger as if it understood everything that was said to it. Ruffnut's face of disbelief then snapped to anger then quickly to worry as she saw the terror in Heather's eyes so she refrained herself and Tuffnut from saying anything stupid that would not mix with the mood.

Fishlegs looked just as a shock but deep down he had this terrible feeling that Dagur would have eventually betrayed them but to hear that Hiccup's and Heather's own mother was part of this scam was too much for him to handle that he fainted a few times.

No one didn't have to say anything but see the dented mug of mead Gobber was holding as he glared down at it. His expression was just cold, but his mind was having a ton of explosions of anger and the will go find Eydis and make her pay for the pain and suffering she has caused. She has no right to even be considered a mother after everything she has lied about! She'll be lucky if we don't kill her!

As for Snotlout, he was taking his anger out on the wall despite not having any affect on it, but he was an open book when it came down to anger. "I'LL KILL 'EM WITH MY BARE HANDS! I'LL KILL 'EM!" He was getting sick and tired of having to go through seeing Hiccup suffer, and now Heather! They have done so much, especially Hiccup, but most pain and hardships just kept piling on top of them like a plague! When is it going to stop?! When can't Hiccup actually be carefree and happy without having the gods mess with him! JUST HOW MUCH ORE SUFFERING IS HE GOING TO HAVE TO ENDURE! "If only I was there, then...Then none of this wouldn't have happened! We could have been faster!"

"There was nothing we could have done to stop any of this from happening," Gobber sighed, even though it pained him to say but he knew that it was too late the moment they allowed to give that woman a second chance. "Eydis had us all fooled, but the question is...Why? Why would she go back to the trouble to do this when it was hunters she was trying to escape from.?"

"I honestly don't have a clue," Heather whispered as her hands began to sweat and tremble. "She probably did it to save herself...Like the coward she is."

"Wait a minute!" Fishlegs spoke up in sudden realization. "Where is Eydis? You said she was below deck with you before the dragon appeared?"

Heather gasped in the same realization. With all that had happened, she completely lost track of her own mother! Come to think of it, she didn't see that woman evacuate the ship with the other hunters. Could it be possible that she burned with the ship? Heather shook her head, there was no proof to be sure about what happened to Eydis. "I don't know what happened to her after that, but as long as she stays away from me, you guys, and Hiccup...I don't care what happens to her."

No one could really blame Heather for saying that, but what worries them is where Eydis was hiding and when she'll decide to make an appearance again. But they can worry about that later, for now, Hiccup is their top priority...

If he ever wakes up.

Later That Night...

Stoick never left Hiccup's bedside while Gobber, Heather, and Astrid were sitting on the other side as they waited for any sign of him waking up. The wait was just too frustrating to Stoick since it painfully reminded him of those weeks when Hiccup was in a coma after the battle with the Red Death. However, he had to stay strong, he knew Hiccup will wake up.

Heather couldn't stop blaming herself, just seeing her brother laying in bed in pain after barely surviving a deep stab wound. From what Gothi told them, the bleeding stopped and he was patched up when they arrived but she has no idea how that happened but if he hadn't been patched up then he would not have survived. Who saved Hiccup? She thought to herself, Who was it? I don't care who was it but if that person wasn't there to heal him at that moment...She paused, not wanting to think about it but those images of Hiccup's face and bleeding kept haunting her mind until she finally narrowed her eyes and without a word she got up and left the room. She ignored the questioned looks Gobber, Astrid and Stoick gave her, she had her back turned to them, turned to her twin brother as she left.

Stoick instinctively stood up but paused, not wanting to leave Hiccup alone but that was when Gobber lightly tapped his shoulder. "Go, Stoick, I'll watch over the lad...You and Astrid go after his sister. Thor knows Hiccup would do the same." Giving a small smile of gratitude, Stoick took one last look at his son before he and Astrid raced our the door after Heather.

Meanwhile...

"Shhh Windshear, we're not supposed to make any noise," Heather whispered in a rushed tone as she attacked a satchel full of food, water, and other supplies for their journey. "We have to leave before-

"Before what Heather?"

She gasped as she turned around only to find Astrid standing behind her while trying to catch her breath from running. "Astrid?!" Then she noticed Stoick catching up with Skullcrusher and Stormfly right behind them. "Stoick?! What are you two doing here?!"

"We should be asking you the same thing Heather," Astrid replied, with her arms crossed but her face was with sadness. "What are you doing here and packing up Windshear's saddle?"

Heather was silent for a moment until she finally explained with a heavy sigh, "It's my fault Hiccup's in the state he's in...If I hadn't stopped the fight, if I didn't put so much faith in Dagur then we wouldn't be in this mess." She held her tears in, finding them unnecessary to be shed at a time like this. "I know you're just going to tell me that it wasn't my fault but right now I'm just confused, and I can't stay here while I'm so confused. I'm leaving to get more time to think, I need to give Hiccup his space after everything, and I need space for a while Hiccup will probably hate me for leaving him like this but this is for the best for the both of us. And I especially have to go make sure that Eydis doesn't show her sorry face anywhere, she had her chance and she has proven to be unfit to my mother..I want to stay away from her and make sure she stays away from you. I hope you understand."

"Heather..." Astrid sighed, not sure how to respond until Stoick stepped forward and then out of nowhere, embraced Heather!

Heather was beyond confused as to why Stoick would hug her in such a way that she and even Astrid were speechless until Stoick responded with his eyes looking at the ground. "I doubt Hiccup will hate you, he'll understand...I know he doesn't blame you, and he'd want you to stay but at the same time he knows that you need your time and space to try to find peace with yourself and learn to forgive yourself. Remember that you're his twin sister, the only blood-related family he has left now, and since I'm Hiccup's father, you're technically considered to be my daughter...If you want. But whether I'm you father or not, you'll always have a home here, at Berk, with Hiccup and me..."

"You'll honestly consider me a daughter, even after everything that happened..." Heather whispered as Stoick nodded, then she put some thought to it until she gave a small smile. "I like that... But I'm probably going to need time to get used to this, to accept you, and to come back...If that's alright."

"Take all the time you need lass," Stoick whispered as he gently caressed her raven hair. "We'll be waiting for you..."

"Thank you..." Heather smiled, then she turned to Astrid as they both embraced. "I guess this is 'see you later' Astrid."

"Yeah," Astrid then pointed at Heather's face as she gave her a stern look. "But don't you dare die on us because I will bring you back from Valhalla and send you back there myself."

"Alright Astrid," Heather shook her head until she whispered into her ear in mischievousus tone, "As long as you take care of my brother and try to keep him out of trouble, I'd like to see you both alive so I can see your wedding." Astrid turned red at the last comment but since it was dark no one, thankfully, noticed as she lightly shoved Heather.

"Get going before Hiccup wakes up and sends the night terrors after you."

On cue, as if by the act of the gods themselves, a night terror landed on Heather's shoulder with a letter attached to its back left leg that was addressed to her! They were all taken aback by the sudden appearance as Heather cautiously grabbed the letter as she unrolled it to read it while Stoick and Astrid read from behind her.

Dear Heather,

If you're reading this then chances are you are still here and about to leave. And before you freak out, yes it's me Hiccup, wide awake and stuck in bed thanks to a certain meathead. I'm sorry I can't tell you this in person, but I know you're blaming yourself for what happened and I just want you to know that it wasn't your fault. If it hadn't been for you stopping the fight, I might have committed regrettable actions. I know I can't convince you to stay, you need time and space to figure things out. I guess its sorta of a twin thing to know how the other feels. But regardless, I hope you can figure things out for yourself, and when you have, there's a home here at the edge and back at Berk waiting for you. I don't hate you for leaving, and I wish you the best of luck in your journey. The only thing I can't help but be disappointed in is Eydis, I'm sorry if you don't feel this way but I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore. Not after everything she did to you and Dagur. Just don't do any reckless stuff and stay safe.

Hopefully, I'll stay out of trouble if I'm lucky. Take your time and don't worry about me, you just stay safe and let me know if you're in any trouble. I'll come flying in faster than you can say "dragons", but I know you'll be fine. Remember that no matter what happens, you'll never stop being my older twin sister.

Love, Hiccup

Heather let one tear fall as she looked up where Hiccup's hut stood. Don't worry little brother...You'll see me very soon. With that, she finally mounted on top of Windshear and with a smile of reassurance, she flew off as she waved farewell to Stoick and Astrid. She finally faced forward to the empty sky and ocean as she embraced the letter she still had in her hand as she folded it up and tucked it in her satchel. Meanwhile, Stoick and Astrid stayed where they stood until Heather was completely out of sight and just when they were ready to head back until they heard a twig break from the bushes behind them.

"Stormfly, fetch," Astrid whispered as said dragon went straight to where the sound came from as she pulled up the spy and brought her forward to Astrid and Stoick. Astrid made a disgusted look that quickly turned to rage but she made sure not to show it, despite the urge to use her axe right now. "You have a lot of nerve showing your face here," She growled at none other than-

Eydis.

"You better explain yourself," Stoick crossed his arms, "How did you find us? And more importantly, why are you here!?"

Eydis didn't have a face of remorse as she shrugged and played with a tug of her hair. "Well, I escaped with one of the leftover life boats and saw you flying your dragons and followed you. You can imagine my surprise when I saw that Hiccup is still alive but Heather had to leave so early...I was hoping I could get them to forgive me..."

"Forgive you?!" Astrid gasped in shock. "How could they forgive you after you turned them into the dragon hunters, have them suffer through the betrayal of their own older brother, practically get stabbed in the back!? Why in great Odin's ghost should they forgive you?! Do you even have a good explanation for all this!?"

"I do," Eydis replied, as she looked down. "After all, they should be able to forgive me since I'm their birthmother...And I only did all that because of a few months back, the dragon hunters found me and they were about to kill me...I pleaded for my life and Viggo made an offer for me which was that I complete the deal I made with his father many years ago and help him accomplish the prophecy. Seemed pretty fair after all, I lost my husband, what was the point of having my children if they have grown to distrust me and want time to bond...Completely useless at the time." She then smiled. "But I learned my lesson, and I would appreciate it, Stoick, if you tell me where my Heather has gone too and while you're at it, you can send my son to me. They surely must have no other choice but to accept me...I am their only family."

"You-

Before Astrid could throw a punch at her, Stoick stopped her. Ignoring Astrid's confused face, he signaled Skullcrusher to bring something as the dragon flew off only to return with a small wooden boat. Stoick then turned to Eydis with his hand pointing to the small boat that was at the edge of the beach as he growled in the most threatening tone that even Astrid has never heard!

"Leave this island now...And don't even try to come back or go to Berk or even try to find Heather and Hiccup! You have no idea what it really means to be a parent, to be the guardian who would lay down their own lives for their children and trust me Eydis, you have failed at being a mother! So you could forget about ever laying eyes on MY son and daughter!" Before Eydis could even ask anything, he continued as he walked forward making her walk backward towards the ocean. "You hurt them so much, you broke their trust with you and you've broken the mending bond they had with their older brother! I heard them, they both do not want anything to do with you, and I especially will not allow you to approach them! They deserve a loving family who cares about them for who they are and not for benefits! And yes I consider Heather to be my daughter, she has every right to have a loving parent that Hiccup has and not a mother who cares about no one but herself!"

"BUT I'M THEIR BIRTHMOTHER! They have no choice but to obey me!"

"WRONG EYDIS!" Stoick shouted at the top of his lungs, causing her to flinch. "Just because you gave birth to them does not mean you're their mother if you treat them like property without caring about their needs or choices!"

"But I'm Hiccup's only living example of a mother! Remember that your wife died before he could even remember her!"

If looks could kill, she would have been dead more than once. "YOU ARE NO MOTHER TO HICCUP! VALKA WAS MORE OF A MOTHER TO HIM THAN YOU EVER WERE, EVEN IF HE WAS ONLY A BABY! SHE NEVER GAVE UP ON HIM, SHE PROTECTED HIM TO HER VERY END! A mother is loving, a mother is caring, a mother puts her life on the line for her children, a mother along with a father raises their child, even if it's only one of them, she is still protecting him from Valhalla! HICCUP'S AND HEATHER'S REAL FAMILY IS HERE WITH BERK AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU BRING AN ARMADA, OR YOUR ARMIES, OR ANYTHING...YOU WILL NOT TAKE HICCUP AND HEATHER AWAY FROM THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT THEM! EVER! I LOVE THEM WITH ALL MY HEART, AND AS THEIR FATHER, I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP THEM SAFE FROM YOU!"

Astrid then gestured Eydis to get on the boat. "Get in that boat and leave! Before we show you our anger at you." On cue, Stormfly and Skullcrusher began to growl, daring her to come a step closer so they could roast her.

With that, Eydis boarded the small boat with a heavy huff with no regret written on her face at all as she went off with her back completely turned to them. She lost her fight to keep arguing, as she shrugged and disappeared into the vast ocean as Astrid and Stoick watched her go until she was completely out of sight.

Once they were sure that she was gone, they both mounted on their dragons and quickly flew to Hiccup's hut to see how he was doing after waking up by some miracle! However, on their flight back, Astrid looked at Stoick and asked, "Sir, did you mean all of what you said?"

Without hesitation, Stoick nodded, "Every last word...That woman has no right to consider herself Hiccup's mother...Not the slightest right."

The were feeling a little anxious to greet Hiccup, especially Stoick. He was certain that his yells were able to be heard by the whole island especially by Hiccup, which worries him. Will Hiccup be angry with him for yelling at Eydis? Did he do the wrong thing? Did he make things worse for everyone? The anxiety is just too much as they opened the door to entering.

However, the very moment they opened that door and as Stoick entered first, there was a loud sudden crashing noise that came from where Hiccup was resting as they heard the heavy steps of a metal leg clanking against the floor as they heard Gobber shouting from upstairs, "OY! GET BAK HERE! YOU'RE STILL WOUNDED!"

At first, they were confused until Stoick suddenly felt a small but heavy weight jump on top of him as thin arms embraced him tightly as he felt the person trembling. Hiccup, despite being in bed, has heard everything that happened in that conversation with a smaller version of the thunderhorn he had invented a few years ago until the original one was born to pieces, and happy could not even express how he felt right now. Stoick was shocked to be embraced by Hiccup as he hugged him back while caressing the teen's messy auburn hair in hopes of calming him down. "Shh, it's okay son...I'm here."

"Thank you," Hiccup whispered in relief, "You're my only true family I have, even if one of us is in Valhalla, mom is still watching us...I love you too dad."

"I know son, I know," Stoick smiled, ignoring Astrid and Gobber who were looking at them.

Despite the emotions, despite knowing that every word his father said was true, despite knowing that Eydis would never return, Hiccup was worried, deep down, he can't help but wonder:

Has Dagur really turned evil forever?


A FEW MONTHS LATER (After the "Family on Edge" episode, after Dagur's death)

Hiccup and Heather were silent in his hut.

He saw her crying in the rain. She showed him the letter.

The letter Dagur has left behind before he went off on his dragon to sacrifice himself to protect them from a trap that was set by the hunters. And now that they both read that letter, they felt more guilt. Their father is missing! He wasn't dead! Oswald the Agreeable has disappeared! That was why Dagur had to lie, that was why Dagur was so deranged! Dagur has truly changed for the better! He wasn't like Eydis!

But they were too late to realize that.

If they had just let him in, if they just trusted him...Then maybe they could have been family. But fate had to be cruel.

After staying inside, taking their rage, grief, and guilt out on some furniture with big tears strolling from their jade eyes, they were sitting in the middle of the mess they had. After a long silence of processing everything, their tears finally dried up as they decided to read Dagur's last words one last time. But the images of how he charged towards the danger and never coming back were as haunting as Hiccup getting stabbed. However, this time, no one came back alive, there was no stormcutter to save him.

Their silence dragged on until Heather turned to her twin brother and asked in a whisper. "So what are we going to do now? We're all that's left of our original family."

Hiccup was looking down at the letter, his mind mixed with emotions of anger, sadness, and grief but he had a river of relief overwhelm him. The feeling the acknowledgment that Dagur was not evil was what relieved Hiccup as the words 'little brother' rang in his mind again.

"I'm never gonna get sick of you. You may be small but you're not useless, I mean you're the smartest and most talented kid around! And believe me, when I tell you this, when I was trying to jump trees for the first time, I kept falling so many times...Just make sure you don't tell anyone that."

"Okay brother," Hiccup nodded, not realizing how much that meant to Dagur, who was hiding his tears of joy. "If you say so."

"I know so! Just you wait for my little brother, we'll be the greatest chiefs this archipelago has ever seen!"

Finally, Hiccup stood up on his feet-er foot as he opened the door that allowed the sunlight to burst in as he looked at the letter then back at Heather to give her his answer,

"We're going to honor or big brother's last wishes...We're going to honor his death...We're going to that auction to put an end to Viggo once and for all! FOR DAGUR!"

"FOR DAGUR! FOR OUR FAMILY!" They both shouted to the outside world, having a good feeling that their big brother was listening to their cries of pride. Their journies have not been completed yet, but someday, they will and maybe one day the three berserker siblings will find each other and be together once again.

If fate is artistic enough to allow it.


AND THAT'S A WRAP THIS STORY IS FINISHED!
