Disclaimer: I own nothing!
P. YOU FOR READING! :)
"No! No!" Dagur yells and looks at Viggo murder in his eyes. Heather gasps for breath, and looks up at Dagur. "Dont die on me to." Dagur begs. Heather's eyes start to slip shut and she grasps Dagur's hand.
"Help...me...please, brother." She says and Dagur's eyes widen at the name. Heather's eyes slip shut and she goes limp in Dagur's arms. Hiccup falls to his knees gripping the hilt of the sword his has in hand.
Viggo sheathes his sword watching with a almost pitying look. "Take them." He commands. The Dragon Hunters step forward and grab the riders dragging them back.
Hiccup gives no struggle watching the two Berserker siblings. Dagur clutches Heather to his chest and literally growls at anyone who comes close to him. Viggo turns to Alvin.
"You can still do our deal, or I'll leave Ryker to deal with you." Viggo says. Alvin's fists clench.
"Or we make our own deal." Astrid shouts down at Viggo. All heads snap up to where the A-team led by Astrid and Snotlout on Hookfang and Stormfly. A low whistle pierces the air and a blast explodes between Hiccup and Carr.
Toothless leaps in-between them smashing Hiccup to the ground. Barf and Belch leap next to the twins Meatlug smashing Fishlegs captor. Windshear fires several spines around Dagur before she lands next to him. Shadowmaster doing the same.
"This battle si over." Astrid shouts angrily. Viggo draws his sword before shaking his head.
"Retreat!" He yells. Ryker stares at him like he's grown seven heads but follows his brothers order. The Dragon Hunters retreat and Stormfly lands followed by Skullcrusher and Hookfang.
"I really thought they would put up more of a fight." Gustav comments.
"That doesn't matter." Astrid notes and jumps off of Stormfly rushing over to Dagur and Heather. Dagur looks up as she approaches like he wants to say something but his mouth wont work. What shocks Astrid the most is the tears. She's never seen Dagur cry.
Astrid takes the hilt of the dagger and rips it from Heather. She takes in a gasp of air breath hitched. Her eyes snap open and she looks over at Astrid before looking at Dagur. Dagur looks at her for a second before he wraps his arms around her in a tight hug.
...
Several hours later on Berk Hiccup slowly blinks his eyes opening heavily. He can feel something at his foot and looks down a small smile on his face as he sees Toothless curled up and content.
Hiccup looks around himself and sees the healers hut. It's empty except for one person. His breath catches. "Astrid?" He asks hardly daring to believe it. She was dead.
Astrid looks at him blue eyes open and alight. "You were dead." He breathes. Astrid grabs his hand tightly.
"So were you." She says. Hiccup looks at her for another second before Astrid leans down and their lips meet. Astrid pulls away and Hiccup looks at her with bright eyes, the dullness washed away.
Hiccup looks down at Toothless as he shifts tail moving onto the bed. "Hows Heather?" He asks looking up at Astrid.
"Living. You've been out for a week. She's been trying to leave the room to visit you, but Dagur and Windshear have taken it apon themselves to be her shadow. Hasn't made it more than a few steps." Astrid says smiling faintly at a memory.
Hiccup smirks and leans on his elbow sitting up. "Where's my dad?" He asks, "Alvin?" He adds as an after thought.
Astrid shrugs. "They're around." She says. Hiccup nods and moves to get out of bed. Toothless snaps his head up, looking at Hiccup as if he highly disagrees with the movment.
"Dont." Astrid commands and grabs his shoulders pulling him back into the bed. Hiccup sighs but doesn't move.
...
Heather looks up at the ceiling, "I can walk. Will you please let me out of this room?" Heather groans looking over at Dagur. Said Berserker raises an eyebrow.
"No." He says firmly. Heather groans and flops back onto the bed.
"What if Hic-" she starts.
"I already checked on our little brother. He's fine." Dagur assures.
Heather frowns and purses her lips. "Fine." She says and looks at Dagur again. Surprise is honestly the first thing that comes to mind, she had doubted he would change refused to accept it, she even thought he was lying when he told her he didn't kill Oswald. But...
She had taken the dagger for him not because he was Dagur but because he's her brother and some part of her couldn't bear the idea of being alone again. She has the other riders and Fishlegs but, Dagur is family.
"You didn't have to come back for us." Heather says softly. Dagur rolls his eyes and lightly taps her shoulder.
"And leave you for death? Hiccup would be dead by now. He was already dead when we found him." Dagur says. Heather sighs and nods.
"Thanks. By the way, you really had our backs there." Heather says and Dagur smirks.
"I'll always have your back, sis." He assures and smiles when Heather huffs in agreement.
...
Viggo Grimborne stares down at a Maces and Talons board, one hand stroking his chin. Ryker sits across from him angrily sharpening a sword. "Oh do cheer up, brother. I have a perfectly logical reason on why we retreated, besides its been days." Viggo says.
Ryker grunts, "You cost us, Viggo. We could have taken them." Ryker growls.
"It was twenty men against seven dragon riders and Outcasts, two of which were chiefs. They would have taken us." Viggo argues.
"That doesn't change anything. We lost again." Ryker growls.
Viggo shakes his head softly and moves a piece forward, he looks up at his brother and says: "No. Maces and Talons doesn't end until the chief is dead."
A/N: Wow! That's a cliffhanger. Just so you're aware chiefs as in Hiccup and Viggo. Cause their the leaders anyway. I could write a sequel, I have an idea, but I feel when I do write sequels no one reads them. So, if you'd read let me know. :)
Please review!
