The other path (HTTYD Hiccup x OC)

Captured

"What did you hit him with lassie?" Gobber asks "Just the back of an axe" Elena comments as she shrugs slightly "Right, you did hit him pretty hard" Hiccup says "He tried to kidnap you, so no, I really don't think it was too hard", this makes Snotlout laugh "Saved by a girl Hiccup, how-", however he stops talking when Elena glares daggers at him "awesome is that?" "Yeah well, he shouldn't have underestimated her" Stoick says "What do we do with him?" "Get him to Gothi to check if he has a head injury?" Gobber asks. They hear mumbling and Elena lightly kicks Viggo, who groans "Who the hell-" "Did you learn your lesson this time?" Hiccup asks "Why am I not-" "You would be, once we finished discussing what to do with you" Stoick cuts him off "Son, get Gothi" "And risk Elena killing him?" Hiccup asks earning a look from his father "Going" he says as he flies off. "Don't think for a second I won't knock you out cold again if you try something" Elena says poking Viggo with her sword "She didn't want to come" Hiccup says, after landing with Gothi and they all watch as Gothi walks over to Viggo before knocking him out cold again causing Elena to chuckle "She says she refuses to help someone who shot Hiccup and... that if she really has to that he needs to be tied up in some cell" she says "Pretty sure it said pit" Gobber says "Pit, cell same thing in this case" Hiccup says, but the old lady points to Elena.

Since Viggo has no serieus injuries she leaves him "Was capturing Hiccup part of the plan?" Elena asks while talking to Drake on one of the sea stacks "No, just Toothless" "Well I'd say that failed" she mumbles wrapping her jacket further around herself, they only met up right before a storm since no one was on watch then. "How much longer do we have to do this?" "Don't know, I worry about Astrid though, it's a good thing she forgot, but" "Yeah, she's a bit too convincing" "I'll talk to her" Drake says so the two part ways.

When Viggo escaped during the night no one is surprised "We'll do a cell next time, not a pit" Stoick says "Great plan, but seeing him try to climb out was worth it" Elena says earning a nod from Hiccup. "What's on your mind Elena?" he asks "Well I spoke with Drake, but he's worried about Astrid taking this whole thing too far" she says leaning against him, they were in the cove, watching the dragons play around "Must be serious" he says earning a 'hm'. "He said he'd talk to her though" she says "Are you ticklish?" Hiccup suddenly asks "Few spots, why?" Elena asks looking at him from the corner of her eyes "No reason" is the answer she gets "Right". She can feel someone watching them though, when she's pulled up suddenly and dragged away from their sitting spot she stumbles, but the dragons push them to the ground and cover them when an explosion goes off, multiple explodions after that.

Stoick runs towards the cove with Gobber, Snotlout and Fishlegs "There!" he yells seeing the two night furies "What happened to this place?" Snotlout asks "Explosions" Hiccup mumbles pushing himself off the ground "Are you alright son?" "We're fine" he says while Gobber helps Elena up "Who the hell did that? Viggo shouldn't know- oh" Elena says, Drake wouldn't bombard an area he knows they are, Viggo has no knowledge of the fact that the cove means a lot to them, so she scans the sky "Astrid" Hiccup mumbles earning a nods "There are Nadder spines here" Fishlegs says "We should head back to the village". The village is a mess, Stormfly is burning buildings and the riders get on their dragons "ASTRID ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!" Hiccup asks when she wants to burn down her own house "Your parents could be inside" he says and they fly at the same level as her. "Shut up!" Astrid yells "You already replaced me-" "I didn't replace you Astrid" Hiccup says "Elena is our friend-" "I was referring to Heather!" "Astrid" Elena says and she jumps over to Stormfly "What did she say?" she asks crouching down "She said you guys didn't need me anymore now that you have her" Astrid says and Elena carefully puts a hand on Astrid's shoulder "That's why you destroyed half the cove?" Elena asks earning a nod "She said-" "Heather lied" Hiccup says "Whatever she said wasn't true" he adds "So why did she say it?" Astrid asks "Hiccup, do you think she's working with Viggo again?" Elena asks earning a sigh "I don't know, but this isn't good" Hiccup says "We need to talk to Dagur" he adds earning a nod.

When Dagur arrives, by boat, he's dragged along to Hiccup's house "You didn't tell Heather the plan right?" Elena asks "No, why?" Dagur asks, so they tell him what happened. "Are you two alright?" Dagur asks "Yes" Hiccup says "But have you noticed anything... strange about your sister?" "She's leaving a lot" Dagur answers "Well we didn't actually get much before Astrid left again, did they talk at all while they were there?" "No, Astrid stayed with Drake on the boat". Stoick walks in and raises an eyebrow feeling the tension "Who's going to tell Fishlegs that his girlfriend's working for the enemy?" Hiccup asks "I'll do it" Dagur says "It's my sister, I should've known something was off".

Fishlegs takes the news surprisingly good "What can we do about it?" he asks "I don't know" Hiccup says "We could pretend not to know it and keep in touch with Dagur" "It's the best we've got" Elena says "Dagur, send a Terror if something else is off" Hiccup says earning a nod.

Astrid is sitting next to Drake as Viggo explains his newest plan "Why wasn't I called for the meeting?" Heather asks landing Windshear "It doesn't concern you" is the answer "You betrayed me once before, I will not risk it, again", Heather chuckles "Oh well, it's not as if Astrid has a place to go afterwards" she says "She's convinced my friends still care about me" Astrid explains making Viggo laugh "Of course they don't" he says "But you weren't invited to this meeting Heather, you haven't even figured out what they did with the lenses" "Because no one will tell me" Heather explains "Apparently you're not as good at being a spy as you think" Drake says "And why don't you have any ships for us?" Heather asks pointing to Drake "I'm not the chief Heather, I can't order them around" Drake answers "Besides, it's better she's not sending them to come after us" "What's that supposed to mean?" Heather asks, she had only seen their island once. "We have fishing boats and battle ships" Drake says "Guess the difference", he's not impressed with Heather though, she's trying too hard "But they listened to you!" Heather says "Do you really think Elena will allow me to use them when I'm working against her? She's smarter then you think she is" "Enough!" Viggo yells, more at the black haired girl then the other two "As a chieftess Elena has a duty to protect her village, even if it's from traitors" "But what if they're spies?" "Why would we do that?" "The plan Viggo" Astrid says "Right" he says.

Heather narrows her eyes at the two, it didn't add up, why would Drake and Astrid, the closest people to their chieftess/future chief abandon them "Alright fine, but if they end up being traitors-" "Then he'd most likely kill us" Drake deadpans "Good point" she mumbles.
