I'm a Berserker [Hiccup Haddock x OC] HTTYD/RTTE

«Burning The Midnight Oil»

🌿Ivy🌿

🎵Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true.🎵

Singing fills my ears, but I have no idea where it's coming from or who's singing it. For whatever reason the woman's voice fills me with comfort and warmth.

🎵The lamb lies down and rests it head
On it's mother's downy bed
Dolphin plays in the moonlight's glow
And butterfly dreams of a violet rose
Dreams of a violet rose🎵

I open my eyes slightly and see a woman smiling down at me with a beaming smile, emerald eyes full of love and fondness. Her long onyx hair falls in waves around her face. Her face looks young but the streaks of white in her hair reveal her age.

🎵I'll cradle you in my arms tonight
As sun embraces the moonlight
The clouds will carry us off tonight
Our dreams will run deep like the sea
Our dreams will run deep like the sea🎵

She sings softly and it sounds beautiful as she leans towards me causing her hair to fall forward. I hear myself giggle as the raven strands tickle my cheek and the woman smiles with so much love in her eyes.

🎵Constant as the stars above
Always know that you are loved
And my love shining in you
Will help you make your dreams come true
Will help your dreams come true🎵

I feel myself yawn as I grab a strand of her hair in my tiny hands, my eyes fluttering shut even though I try to keep them open. "Sleep now my little starfire. Oswald," I hear her call and a gruff voice I recognize as my father answers. "Yes?"

"Is Heather asleep?"

"Like a log," he says with a chuckle. "Mom, can I see Ivy?" I hear a slightly high voice ask and the woman chuckles. "I don't know if you'll be able to support her, Dagur. Come here my little soldier."

The woman continues to cradle me in one arm while hoisting the young boy onto the bed beside her. He leans over me and I stare sleepily into his green eyes. "She looks kind of strange," he comments and the woman chuckles. "Well, she's only a baby, Dagur."

I open my eyes and stare into the darkness that surrounds me, feeling like it's trying to suffocate me. The woman's face flashes in my mind, one I'd only ever seen in my father's wedding portrait. Was that a real memory or just something my brain made up? I shake my head and close my eyes tightly, feeling my eyes sting with tears.

I'm getting a little tired of crying. I rub at my eyes and take deep breathes. Nightwing grumbles worriedly and I hear her approach my bed, resting her chin on my hip. I reach blindly and stroke her head in thanks before sitting up, pulling the blankets off me.

Heather left as soon as we escaped from Dagur. I didn't talk to her all that much and she didn't talk to me. It's not everyday that you find out you have a twin sister that some how you were separated from. I did however force her to promise me that she'd write to me so we could stay in touch. I stand up and rub up and down my arms trying to get rid of the chill.

My tanned leather armor is somewhere across the room leaving me in my sleeveless black tunic and trousers. My feet were bare as I step towards the door, opening it quietly, with Nightwing following behind me.

I rub at my eyes trying to think of a way to kill time until I was tired enough to try going back to sleep. I stop mid-step when I realize that Hiccup is still up, given the fact that I can see candlelight. I make my way silently up the steps in case he had fallen asleep working on that flight suit. It wouldn't be the first time.
